Chapter 127: The Fall of the Stars

Chapter 127

Wei Chen, who was observing the stars, discovered that the light of the Breaking Army Star had dimmed, and felt this was ominous!

Qin Zhao was alerted by 502: "Host, Huo Chengjin is no longer the Breaking Army Star!"

Qin Zhao's smile froze, then the corners of her lips raised into an even bigger curve.

"Tsk tsk, how weak is Huo Chengjin's psychological endurance?

But this is good too, to give up the position of Breaking Army Star early, saving me the trouble."

The hunting competition ended, and the Emperor let everyone withdraw, then called over Zhou Quande, "Prepare a horse for Us, We are going hunting tomorrow."

Zhou Quande: "Here, will Your Majesty take the Sweat Blood Treasure Horse?"

"Yes, take it."

"Your servant will go prepare now."

Qin Zhao walked to Qi Yan Su Luo and put the Night Glowing Pearl in her hand, laughing, "A gift for you."

Qi Yan Su Luo looked at the glowing Night Glowing Pearl in the box, and returned it to Qin Zhao, "I don't like it."

Qin Zhao's smile faded away, "There is no one in this world who doesn't like the Night Glowing Pearl.

What you don't like is not it, but me."

She took the Night Glowing Pearl to the tent. Qi Yan Su Luo watched her back figure for a long time before taking a step forward.

Qi Yan Su Luo entered the tent and saw Qin Zhao sitting on the bed reading.

She went over, took the book and put it on the table beside, "The lamplight is too dim, reading is bad for your eyes, this is what you told me."

Qin Zhao turned her head away, not looking at her.

Qi Yan Su Luo pinched her chin, "When unhappy, you should do something joyful."

She lowered her head and bit Qin Zhao's lips!

"What are you doing, let me go!" Qin Zhao yelled.

Qi Yan Su Luo paid no heed, and concentrated on the task at hand.

At first Qin Zhao resisted stubbornly, but after being aroused, she accepted it.

That night Qi Yan Su Luo was more enthusiastic than ever before, causing Qin Zhao to pass out...

In the early morning, Qin Zhao hazily wanted to reach out to knead the dough as usual, but found no one by her side!

She opened her eyes, and just as she was about to call for someone, Qi Yan Su Luo lifted the tent flap and walked in, "What's wrong?

You're awake so early, why not sleep some more?"

Qin Zhao looked her up and down, and didn't notice anything unusual, but smelled a scent of hay, and asked: "Where did you go?"

Qi Yan Su Luo said: "I went to the latrine for a bit."

Qin Zhao touched the bedsheet beside her which had already cooled, indicating Qi Yan Su Luo had been gone for at least an hour.

She realized Qi Yan Su Luo was lying, but did not expose it.

She said: "Come over and accompany me, I want to hold you and sleep."

Qin Zhao thought of Qi Yan Su Luo's appearance early that morning, but didn't look at her. She told the guards: "This palace understands."

After the guards left, Qin Zhao pulled Qi Yan Su Luo into the tent.

With her back to Qi Yan Su Luo, she asked: "Is there anything you're hiding from me?"

Qi Yan Su Luo lowered her eyes, "No."

Qin Zhao closed her eyes for a moment, "Qi Yan Su Luo, this palace will give you one more chance, tell everything from the beginning, truthfully."

Qi Yan Su Luo still answered: "Nothing to say."

Qin Zhao clenched her fist, then slowly relaxed it. "Qi Yan Su Luo, you disappoint me greatly.

If you are identified, even I can't protect you, so take care of yourself!"

Qin Zhao left the tent first.

On the way there, neither spoke a word, not even exchanging a glance.

Sensing the abnormal atmosphere between them, Cong Han and Shen Xue signaled to each other, wanting to ask what was wrong.

But because they couldn't agree on who should ask, neither made a sound.

When they arrived at the square, it was already packed with people.

All the people the Emperor brought were crammed here.

Everyone spoke in hushed tones.

"I heard when the Emperor was young, he excelled in the six gentlemanly arts, how could he have fallen from his horse?"

"Who knows, maybe because he's older now, not as energetic as in his youth.

Riding is inherently dangerous, a moment's inattention could lead to injury."

"Quiet, the Emperor hates others saying he's old!"

"I suspect that he doesn't want to admit falling by himself, that's why he's making a big fuss to frame someone.

It's so frightening!"

"Silence!!" Zhou Quande yelled.

Everyone shut their mouths, and listened to Zhou Quande continue: "Men and women, stand separately!"

All followed instructions and stood in place.

An hour later, the sky was completely dark.

Zhou Quande had hundreds of lanterns lit to illuminate the square, and announced no one could sleep tonight until the culprit was found!

Qin Zhao yawned, hoping for an early end.

The palace maid finally approached to within a few meters, and the people around visibly panicked!

Fearing becoming a scapegoat.

Her footsteps drew near, stopping in front of Qi Yan Su Luo.

The maid's pupils constricted as she pointed at Qi Yan Su Luo and shrieked: "It's her!!"
