Chapter 291: Acting like a Thief
Qin Huaijin curled her lips. She thought so in her heart, but she did not agree with Wen Cairen. Instead, she smiled and said, "Wen Cairen, don't underestimate my sister. Even if the emperor is suspicious now, it is not impossible for the emperor to favor her again in two days."
Qin Huaijin's words suddenly ignited Wen Cairen's anger again.
Because Qin Liuse was indeed like that, she fell out of favor several times, but became the apple of Emperor Yongjia's eye several times again. These words really hit her sore spot.
-
Meanwhile, in Chaoyang Palace, Qin Liuse received a message from Zhu Wanxi, saying that the Queen Mother Dong had confined her to Zhaoyang Palace until the child was born. Her heart skipped a beat.
But he still saw Zhu Wanxi off with a smile and returned to his room. Qin Liuse ate while frowning and thinking, feeling a little uneasy.
She originally thought that the house arrest was a temporary thing for two days and would be lifted when the truth came out, but she didn't expect it to last until after she gave birth.
This made Qin Liuse feel a little uneasy. He didn't know whether Emperor Yongjia also suspected him.
Because she was unsure, Qin Liuse felt a little uneasy during the Dragon Boat Festival dinner, even though the dishes were rich.
She originally thought that Emperor Yongjia would completely trust her, but how could this be?
Qin Liuse imagined the food in front of him as Emperor Yongjia, and ate an extra bowl of rice.
I cursed Emperor Yongjia in my heart, what a dog emperor he was. He acted as if he believed in me so much, but in the end, he still agreed to Empress Dowager Dong's request. I wonder if he really believed in her?
After dinner and a bath, Qin Huaijin still felt unsure.
Someone was sent to inquire whether Emperor Yongjia had picked up a card tonight. Xiao Fuzi came back with the news that the emperor was still in the imperial study and had not summoned anyone to sleep with him.
Qin Liuse's brows jumped. She hadn't confirmed Emperor Yongjia's intention before, and she really couldn't sleep, so she called Xiao Fuzi over and asked him to prepare a set of palace clothes for her.
After hearing this, Xiao Fuzi looked at Qin Liuse with some surprise and confusion, "Zhaoyi, this is..."
Qin Liuse sighed, "I told you to get it, so just go get it. I have my own use for it."
Xiao Fuzi returned to her own room and brought a newly made palace gown for the eunuch into the main hall.
In the past two years, Xiao Fuzi has grown taller and is now about the same height as Qin Liuse, but the man's body is a bit more sturdy than Qin Liuse's, so this eunuch uniform fits Qin Liuse perfectly, except that her belly is a little big and can't be covered up.
Qin Liuse then asked someone to bring a wooden basket and put it in front to cover up the situation as much as possible.
Thinking that it was night again and it was getting late, it was pitch black everywhere and people who didn't pay much attention would not be able to see it.
After everything was ready, they called Xiao Baozi and Xiao Fuzi and asked them to lead the way and cover them all the way to the imperial study.
At this hour, there were no people on the palace road, except for a few guards standing on the way to the imperial study.
However, these people were working for Emperor Yongjia and were not as gossipy as the women in the harem, so Qin Liuse was not afraid of them seeing it.
He walked smoothly all the way to the imperial study. When he met Zhu Wanxi at the door, Zhu Wanxi's mouth opened wide.
Seeing Qin Liuse's outfit, Zhu Wanxi had a surprised and somewhat funny expression on his face, but he suppressed it deliberately, "Why is Zhaoyi here? Go in quickly, go in quickly, the emperor is inside."
Zhu Wanxi had no intention of going in to report first, so he just sent Qin Liuse in.
If Zhu Wanxi had said this on normal days, Qin Liuse would definitely be polite and let him report on his behalf and go through the procedures. After all, there should be no mistakes in the procedure.
However, matters were more urgent tonight, and Qin Liuse didn't care about all the formalities. He just let Zhu Wanxi lead him to the imperial study.
Emperor Yongjia was standing by the bookshelf, reading a book. When he heard the voices, he turned around and saw Zhu Wanxi leading someone in. At first he frowned, as if he didn't recognize who the man was.
Until Qin Liuse put down the wooden basket, took off his hat and raised his head.
Emperor Yongjia raised his eyebrows, then curled the corners of his lips and said with a smile, "Why are you wearing this to see me like a thief?"
Emperor Yongjia pointed at Qin Liuse with the book in his hand, then walked to the desk with the book and sat down, placing the book on the table.
Zhu Wanxi brought the person in and then left tactfully.
Qin Liuse did not hide anything and went straight to the point, asking with a somewhat anxious look on his face.
"Your Majesty, if I hadn't come to ask you something, I would have been unable to sleep tonight."
Emperor Yongjia raised his eyebrows and smiled, "When did you lose sleep without me?"
Qin Liuse didn't care whether he was joking or not. Her face turned red with anxiety. "The Queen Mother Dong has confined me to my room. Does the Emperor not trust me either?"
"I have never framed the prince and princess. Your Majesty, please believe me."
Qin Liuse was moved by what she said, with true feelings revealed in her eyes. Seeing her like this, Emperor Yongjia stopped joking with her.
He stood up, walked over to take her hand from the desk, walked to the couch by the window and sat down, took her hand and kissed it on the lips.
His voice was a little low. "Before, you asked me to trust you. Now, I should also talk to you. You should also trust me, right?"
Qin Liuse was really anxious today. Maybe it was because it concerned her own child, so as a mother, she couldn't help but feel like risking everything.
That's why he came here in the middle of the night, wearing a eunuch's palace uniform and disobeying the imperial decree, just to get a word of affirmation from Emperor Yongjia.
For a moment, he recalled the scene when he had said this to Emperor Yongjia before. When Qin Liuse heard him say this to him again, he knew in his heart that he did not blame him.
You should also believe in yourself.
But she was so panicked that she couldn't tell what was true and what was false for a moment.
Her eyes couldn't help but turn red and swollen. When Qin Liuse got excited and about to cry, not only her eyes but also her nose would turn red, making her look even more innocent and pitiful.
Emperor Yongjia looked at her like this and shook his head, saying, "I thought you would be more mature after becoming a mother, but I didn't expect that you are still like a child, crying at the drop of a hat."
Emperor Yongjia's words were really doting. Qin Liuse curled her lips and said, "It is precisely because I am a mother that I feel so wronged. Others are trying to frame my child, and I can't cry for a while?"
As Qin Liuse said this, tears welled up in his eyes.
She sniffed and looked aggrieved, which made Emperor Yongjia feel distressed. He wiped away her tears with his thumb and said, "Well, since you spoil our child, I can only spoil you."
Qin Liuse pouted, not knowing whether she had heard what he said. She just felt that since she was his child, he should spoil her.
But she felt aggrieved in her heart, so she let her temper run wild and cried for a long time, burying her head in the broad chest of Emperor Yongjia.
"Today, I am really frightened. Your Majesty, you don't know that when I was in Changsheng Palace, although I said those words and argued with those people, it seemed that I was very confident, but God knows that I have no confidence at all. Your Majesty is not in the palace. Fortunately, Concubine Ning and Concubine Xiao De helped me. Otherwise, I don't know what to do.
When Emperor Yongjia saw Qin Liuse like this, he knew that she was really wronged this time, because no matter what happened in the past, even if it seemed very unfair to him, he would wait for Qin Liuse to come to him and cry, but she never cried.
But this time, because it involved their child, the girl was so anxious.
Because of this, Emperor Yongjia felt even more distressed for him.
She could have indulged herself and cried in front of him a long time ago, but she never did. This time, she did it for the baby in her belly. It was not for herself, but for their child.
It may be said that Emperor Yongjia really understood Qin Liuse.
She was indeed like that. It didn't matter how others plotted against her in the past, although she was able to turn the tide every time.
This time, of course, she did it. Although she was not framed by others, she still felt aggrieved. Not for herself, but for her child. That's why she made up her mind to let Emperor Yongjia make the decision for her.
"Your Majesty, if you don't remember to come back, then I won't be able to see you for a while, right?" Qin Liuse sniffed, looking more and more pitiful the more she thought about it, and said with tears in her eyes.
Emperor Yongjia wiped away her tears and snot, and said with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? I will not let this happen."
