Chapter 1002: Borrowing Someone
Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: Borrowing Someone
Su Pan’er quietly listened to the news Ye Han brought, but her thoughts had wandered far away.
The moment she heard of Monk Liao Jue, a kind of innate rejection from deep within her heart had arisen.
She could never forget the feeling of powerlessness when she first confronted Monk Liao Jue, the trembling that came with the sense that death was about to descend upon her!
"Brother Ye, are you sure Liao Jue is in the secret passage?"
"To reply to the Empress, this humble official cannot be certain. However..."
Ye Han did not confirm, but he did bring up another matter, "Though this humble official did not capture Liao Jue, he did capture two living witnesses. According to their confession, Monk Liao Jue indeed hid among those who fled."
Ye Han was a man of few words and not fond of deceit, which is why Qin Yi got along with him.
"Brother Ye, say how many troops you need without hesitation!"
Ye Han waited until nightfall before entering the palace, and aside from the urgency, he certainly had other things in mind.
"Regarding the troops, this humble official currently has no plans to take any. However, Your Majesty, this humble official would like to borrow a person from you!"
"Borrow whom?"
Qin Yi’s voice was heavy.
Ye Han stood up and knelt on both knees, "Your Majesty, the Empress has a strong sensitivity towards Monk Liao Jue. This humble servant implores Your Majesty to allow the Empress to accompany this humble servant on a journey. This humble servant guarantees to safely bring the Empress out of the palace and back again, completely intact!"
"No, absolutely not!"
Without thinking, Qin Yi immediately denied Ye Han’s request.
Ye Han could borrow anyone else from his side, but Qin Yi would agree to all except for Su Pan’er!
The reason he wanted to eliminate Liao Jue was for Pan’er’s safety. As long as Monk Liao Jue existed in the world for one day, the day Pan’er and Liao Jue faced off would still come. It’s like the principle that one cannot be a thief for a thousand days without encountering a guard.
Because he understood this, Qin Yi’s heart was even more unwilling to let Su Pan’er actively seek danger!
"Your Majesty, this humble official has considered this matter. Monk Liao Jue once said that the Empress is his emotional conflict, and only by resolving this conflict can he transcend worldly affairs and achieve his wish! Therefore, this humble official believes that to draw out Liao Jue, the Empress is the most suitable ’bait’!"
With bait, the big fish would be willing to bite, willing to come of its own accord. With bait, there’s no fear of the big fish escaping!
However, this could end up like the proverbial shooting of the goose that turns to peck back!
If in the end, they do not find Old Monk Liao Jue but instead lose their lives in vain!
"Your Majesty, please rest assured! This humble official can make a military pledge to Your Majesty! I will surely bring the Empress back intact!" Ye Han was almost swearing an oath to heaven to His Majesty!
But Qin Yi still did not nod.
He stood up directly, waved his hand at Ye Han, and his eyebrows almost twisted into a knot.
"There’s no need to discuss this matter further! I will categorically not agree to this. If you wish to take Pan’er away, it would have to be over my dead body! Otherwise... don’t even think about it!"
Qin Yi spoke earnestly, and the few people beside him looked at each other, clearly unsure whether they should leave or stay.
"It’s not like that, Your Majesty, listen to my explanation. It’s like this..."
"No more ’like this’ or ’like that’; today’s matter is not handled well by this humble official."
Qin Yi’s face was flushed with angry embarrassment, "The hour is too late today, the palace gates outside are already closed. Tonight, Brother Ye, you will have to rest temporarily in the side palace hall, and you can leave the Imperial Palace early tomorrow morning!"
After speaking, he didn’t care about Ye Han who wanted to say something but stopped, and hurriedly dragged Su Pan’er away!
He left in great haste!
Ye Han opened his mouth wanting to call the two back, but it only caused Su Pan’er to keep looking back, signaling with her eyes, and made Ye Han swallow back the words that had reached his mouth.
What did Pan’er mean just now, was she asking him to suppress the thoughts in his heart? Or was there some other meaning?
With the palace gates now closed, it was impossible for him to leave, so he slowly made his way to the side palace hall where he had stayed several times before and settled down.
This place was where officials who had accompanied His Majesty in dealing with court affairs and were unable to leave after the Imperial Harem’s Palace was closed, would temporarily rest within the Imperial Palace.
In fact, thinking about it, this was very risky, but if he strictly followed his plan, he was certain he could take the Empress safely there and back without any issues. He had planned in detail each step of how to act.
Only, he had not expected that Qin Yi would not even give him a chance to differentiate, and unexpectedly, he had directly dismissed his idea!
It appeared that he would have to find another opportunity to discuss this with the Empress.
Monk Liao Jue was too vigilant; ordinary people simply could not find his hiding place. Now that his herd had startled the snake, it would undoubtedly be even more difficult to find anyone later!
Other than the Empress, he had no better plan for this kind of situation!
With a full mind, Ye Han tossed and turned and just couldn’t fall asleep.
It wasn’t only Ye Han who couldn’t sleep; Su Pan’er too was completely unable to sleep.
Qin Yi had quite a few reservations in his heart!
Pan’er was his life, even if he had many achievements, if he didn’t have Pan’er to share them with, what point was there in doing those things?
Turning his head and seeing Su Pan’er in a thoughtful state, he couldn’t help but disregard his tenderness, grabbed Su Pan’er’s hand, and kissed her red lips.
They rolled and entwined.
"You’re not allowed to go! Even sneaking off is forbidden!"
He kept kissing her until they were both panting, before finally releasing her small mouth, but instead, he held her tighter and buried his face in her luxuriant hair.
"Pan’er, promise me! Don’t make your husband worry about you, will you? You don’t know, I’ve been having nightmares these past days, nightmares where you are over and over again killed by that Old Monk’s palm! And I, I’m always so frightened that I can speak only after being scared..."
The content of these nightmares, without exception, all ended with Pan’er dying at Liao Jue’s hands, while he watched helplessly, regardless of how much he cried and shouted, he couldn’t bring back Pan’er to open her eyes again! Always waking up heartbroken in the torment, over and over again.
"Don’t be scared, Yi, don’t be afraid. It’s not as difficult as you think! Besides, you’re just having nightmares, everything will definitely be fine!"
Su Pan’er gently patted Qin Yi’s back, trying to comfort him.
"Pan’er, you believe me! Even if I’m not a match for that Old Bald Donkey Liao Jue right now, once my Inner Strength progresses further, I’ll be able to find him easily. I definitely won’t let him harm you again!"
"I believe you, Qin Yi, I believe you!"
Su Pan’er looked up at him, her smile intoxicatingly sweet, "You say not to go, I will not go! I will stay by your side, Your Majesty! I won’t go anywhere."
Though she spoke reassuring words, a swift gleam flitted across her eyes.
This matter today, she had to strike while the iron was hot. Even though Ye Han cared for them in his heart, there is a difference between a ruler and a vassal! As for Liao Jue, she was determined to succeed!
