Qi Yu didn't understand what Chu Yixuan meant, why must he believe that did not have good intentions towards him? Was it his imagination, or was there some basis for it?
But Chu Yixuan would not tell her directly. He talked to her, he could tease her a lot, but the important things always came to an end.
He didn't believe her. After all, she was an outsider, and the people around him had connections.
The next day, the new Queen sent someone to invite Qi Yu and Chu Yixuan to the Saint De Palace for dinner.
Of course, Chu Yixuan accompanied Qi Yu there. Furthermore, he appeared to be very fond of him, his ten fingers were clenched tightly, and his figure was inseparable.
"Why are you pretending?" Qi Yu wanted to shake off Chu Yixuan's hand, but she couldn't.
Chu Yixuan said with a fresh and natural smile on her face, "Why not? Unless you don't want to protect me anymore."
Qi Yu was a little helpless: "Don't tell me they really will make a move against you!"
Chu Yixuan placed his finger on his lips, laughed and said, "Shh, don't let anyone hear you."
As he spoke, he pulled Qi Yu's head over and let her lean on his shoulder. Qi Yu felt her scalp go numb, "Alright, alright, stop pretending!"
Only then did Chu Yixuan let go of her hand with a smile and held her hand again. After all, he's the newly appointed empress, and hasn't even established his might yet.
"How did you know I would throw a tantrum!" Qi Yu was not in a good mood, "Could it be that I don't seem to understand etiquette?"
"That's right!" Chu Yixuan's attitude was very sincere, "Your understanding of yourself is still rather fair."
F * ck me!
Qi Yu unhappily pinched his palm. If he dared to say anything bad about her again, she would pinch his palm until it crumbled.
However, Chu Yixuan calmly and easily looked forward, as if this little bit of pain in his hand was nothing at all.
Alright, a person who dares to prick a needle into his own lung and cause injuries, he is already so ruthless to me, how can I be afraid of such a small pinching pain from her.
Qi Yu glanced at him gloomily. He looked so calm, completely unlike someone who felt that she was in a dangerous situation. She was not someone who would eat tiger poison.
In the Palace of the Saints.
A sumptuous dinner had been prepared, and a fragrant aroma filled the air in the hall. Cheng Wan stood in front of the stairs and waited for Chu Yixuan and Qi Yu. When she saw Qi Yu coming in from afar, she was actually a little agitated and looked to be at a loss of what to do.
But the empress was still the empress after all. She had accompanied the emperor for so many years, and even the most emotional person had grown into a calm and composed person. Cheng Wan quickly calmed herself down and smiled decently.
Chu Yixuan took the lead in bowing to Cheng Wan. "This son greets Imperial Mother for attending, and wishes Imperial Mother Ten Thousand Blessings An!"
Sensing that Qi Yu, who was beside him, was not moving, Chu Yixuan lightly pulled on Qi Yu's hand. Only then did Qi Yu lower her eyes and blessing herself unwillingly.
Chu Yixuan called Cheng Wan his mother, while Qi Yu, the empress's real daughter, called Cheng Wan his queen.
Of course, Cheng Wan understood that this daughter still held some feelings for her, but she did not take it to heart. After all, it was already good that Qi Yu was willing to come, so how could she dare force her daughter to forgive her for her past actions?
"Xuan'er, Little Zhi, please rise! "Come, the food and wine have been prepared. Come in and have a meal."
He went straight to the point the moment he arrived. That's good too. It's better to leave as soon as possible after eating.
Qi Yu stepped forward, and Chu Yixuan could only follow her in, and smiled apologetically at Cheng Wan who was standing at the side.
"It's fine." Cheng Wan smiled benevolently.
This daughter of hers had to suffer quite a bit in order to grow up in Xu Family, hence her lack of education and lack of etiquette were things to be forgiven.
Of course, she had also given food to Chu Yixuan. From the looks of it, she did not treat Chu Yixuan coldly nor did she neglect Qi Yu.
When Cheng Wan was busy picking up the food again, Qi Yu extended his hand out and blocked it. "Many thanks to the empress, I can't eat that much anymore."
Chu Yixuan quickly said, "This son has yet to serve food to muhou. I heard that muhou likes to eat lion heads, and from what I see, their taste is extremely good. Muhou, quickly come and try it."
Ouch! Qi Yu truly had a whole new level of respect for Chu Yixuan. She even knew what Cheng Wan liked to eat.
Cheng Wan smiled as she received the lion head from Chu Yixuan. "Alright, Xuan'er is really considerate."
Chu Yixuan smiled: "It was Little Zhi who told me."
Damn, who told you! Qi Yu rolled her eyes at Chu Yixuan, she did not care what Cheng Wan liked to eat!
Chu Yixuan glanced at her, then laughed softly: "I didn't betray you on purpose, Little Zhi be good, don't be angry."
Emma, how hypocritical! Qi Yu felt goosebumps all over her body!
Chu Yixuan gave Cheng Wan a few more cups of wine, and the result was nothing more than congratulating him for finally getting what she deserved. Qi Yu was not willing to listen to these hypocritical words, so she lowered her head and played with the tableware in her hands. Cheng Wan looked at her and chuckled.
"Little Zhi, is there anything else you would like to eat? "Tell your mother that your mother has asked the imperial kitchens to prepare it for you."
"I'm full." Qi Yu's words were concise and short.
Cheng Wan was not angry, and continued to speak gently: "Today, the majority of the dishes at this table are your favorite, and there are some that Xuan'er likes to eat, do you think they are suitable?"
Qi Yu shrugged her shoulders, "I already changed my taste a long time ago."
Cheng Wan was dumbstruck. She held Qi Yu's hand and explained to Cheng Wan with a smile: "She has always ate less and is sometimes in a bad mood. She doesn't eat or eat anything, and slowly, there's nothing that she likes to eat. However, the Queen Mother spent so much effort to prepare so many delicious delicacies, even if Little Zhi didn't say it out loud, she would still be grateful to the Queen Mother. "
Qi Yu glared at Chu Yixuan. You know how grateful I am to her! You are the worm in my stomach!
Cheng Wan lowered her eyebrows and laughed, then nodded her head and said: "Mother understands."
Oh, another one who knew her. Everyone understood her very well! If Xu Rouzhi was still alive, she would definitely be moved to death!
Qi Yu asked: "Did the empress really call us into the palace to eat? If there's anything else, I'd rather just say it, or I'll go back. "
Chu Yixuan said softly, "Sigh, why are you talking to your mother like that?"
However, Cheng Wan smiled and looked at Qi Yu with a pampering gaze: "Is Little Zhi tired?"
Qi Yu said with a stern face: "I have always been this direct, I do not like to beat around the bush."
Chu Yixuan smiled and said, "Little Zhi is indeed tired, I have always coughed, and once I wake her up, she has not been able to rest well for the past two nights in order to take care of me."
"Ugh …" He hasn't returned to the Safe House in two days, alright!
The night before the grand ceremony, he had been busy all night without returning to Safe House.
Last night, the grand ceremony was over, but he still didn't know what he was busy with, so he didn't return home for the night again.
Now, he says she coughed for two nights, and she took care of him for two nights... Was he trying to use her as a witness? prove to Cheng Wan that he was honestly staying at home for the past two nights?
Cheng Wan asked with a pained heart: "Have you been coughing recently? Since you didn't improve, why didn't you call the imperial physician to take a look for you? "
"It's nothing much," Qi Yu looked at Chu Yixuan, and hurriedly answered, "He must have received a heavy punishment inside his Justice Division cell. He suffered an internal injury, so wasn't he adjusting for the past two days? Which teacher didn't know about the treatment of internal injuries? "There's no need to ask for a doctor, and the doctor doesn't dare to use drugs, so going there won't work."
Chu Yixuan once again gently pulled Qi Yu's hand, "What did Little Zhi say?"
"You can't speak the truth?" Qi Yu curled her lips. "The Empress is not an outsider!"
Cheng Wan smiled gently, "What Little Zhi said is not unreasonable. Xuan'er had hired a doctor outside. As long as he was sick, everything was fine. I heard Little Zhi also learned some medical techniques? "
"It's nothing more than a piece of fur." Qi Yu curled her lips, "In the past, when I was doing menial work at home, I was often scalded and burned, had a cold or something like that. Since no one offered me a doctor, I could only sneak around and look at my own medicine, and give myself two doses of medicine to eat."
Chu Yixuan very cooperatively explained to Cheng Wan, "Little Zhi is naturally intelligent and has strong comprehension ability, now she even dares to prescribe medicine for me to see."
Qi Yu's words stunned Cheng Wan momentarily, and his eyes turned red. Although she knew that his daughter had also suffered a lot at Xu Mansion, after seeing it with his own eyes and hearing it from her own ears, Cheng Wan still couldn't help but feel guilty.
Suppressing her emotions, Cheng Wan said: "Xuan'er's sickness is also an old ailment, how about we use it as you please."
"I'm not afraid." Chu Yixuan smiled, "I believe in Little Zhi."
After saying that, he even turned around and looked at Qi Yu deeply.
Qi Yu felt goosebumps all over her body.
Did she really have to act so disgusting when she pretended to be in love with him!? She almost couldn't stand it anymore!
Cheng Wan did not say anything further and just kept on telling Chu Yixuan to eat until she said that she could not eat anymore and thanked the Queen Mother for her help. Cheng Wan was stunned for a moment before she smiled and replied, "Okay, okay."
"If there's nothing else, we'll be going back." Qi Yu stood up.
Cheng Wan also stood up, seeing that she was not willing to call out her mother's daughter, she felt sad, but still maintained a warm smile: "Alright, since you're tired, go back and rest early! If there is a place that requires royal doctors, feel free to ask them.
"Mhmm, thank you, Empress." Qi Yu extended her hand out to pull Chu Yixuan, and shook him a little, "Husband, let's go back!"
He thought that if she acted so coquettishly, it would be Chu Yixuan's turn to get goosebumps! However, Chu Yixuan seemed to enjoy it, he nodded lovingly, then clasped his hands towards Cheng Wan and said: "This son will take his leave."
"Go!" Cheng Wan nodded.
After leaving the Saint De Palace, he got on the carriage to return home. Chu Yixuan seemed to have thought of something and said, "The empress obviously has something to tell us. However, for some reason, he hesitated to speak. "
"Where did you stop talking?" I don't see it. "
"She must have something to say to you." Chu Yixuan said.
Qi Yu did not answer Chu Yixuan's question. Instead, she shook off Chu Yixuan's hand and said with disdain: "Now there's no one, so there's no need to pretend to be grateful anymore!"
"Who said whose love did I just have for you?" However, Chu Yixuan smiled faintly and pulled on her hand, not letting go. "How did you speak to your husband just now, let's do it again."
"I'll go!" Qi Yu rolled his eyes, "I was just cooperating with you just now to prevent you from exposing yourself in front of your mother."
"However, your coquettish attitude is very cute." Chu Yixuan smiled and ruffled her hair.
Qi Yu avoided Chu Yixuan's hand, "Don't be so formal!"
"Why is it a heavy taste!" Being a spoiled child should be a woman's nature. No man can resist a woman's coquettish actions. "
"I'm very sorry, I don't know how to act coquettishly, but it's possible for me to do so."
"Then let's make a scene for Darling to see." A smile that didn't seem to exist on Chu Yixuan's face, "Tonight, my husband needs to enjoy it."
Qi Yu was shocked, "It can't be? You're not going out tonight? "
