Chapter 1005: Chapter 1005 Surface Skills

Jun Ruochen?

Su Pan’er narrowed her eyes.

Before her, the scene of that noble young man’s handsome and jade-like features, smiling as he looked back, surfaced in her mind.

She also remembered her past inner turmoil.

Whether it was Jun Ruochen or Jun Ruochen, both had become a thing of the past; she had completely freed herself from the obsessions of yesteryear. Now, when she heard him being mentioned, she could face it calmly, without a ripple in her heart! Even the fraternal affection she once had for Jun Ruochen had been utterly trampled over!

"I have nothing to say about him. You don’t need to bring it up again,"

Su Pan’er said indifferently, but to Jun Ruoxue, it felt coldly heart-wrenching.

Jun Ruoxue became anxious!

"Sister Pan’er, you..."

Su Pan’er turned around sharply, the sudden flash in her eyes causing the words caught in Jun Ruoxue’s throat to remain unspoken. She froze on the spot.

"Empress, this matter... Empress, Brother Chen has important things to tell you. He..."

"Jun Ruoxue!"

It was the first time Su Pan’er called her by her full name. She sat there, steady as a rock.

Jun Ruoxue’s body trembled! She bowed her head and slowly knelt to the ground.

"Jun Ruoxue is present."

Jealousy uncontrollably surged in her heart.

They were right! The position representing the mother of the nation should have been hers; she was the woman meant to sit there, yet it was occupied by the woman before her!

No, she shouldn’t think like that! They were good sisters!

But if they were truly good sisters, why would she treat her this way? It was just a matter of meeting her Brother Chen, and she wouldn’t even agree to that?

Jun Ruoxue was torn inside, as though two little people were fighting within her. Yet outwardly, she kept her head buried low, motionless.

"Ruoxue, your elder brother he..."

Su Pan’er hesitated to continue.

She didn’t know if Jun Ruochen had told Jun Ruoxue about what happened last year! But Jun Ruoxue’s recent remarks had deeply wounded Su Pan’er’s heart.

She took a deep breath, trying to regulate her breathing, feeling an inexplicably oppressive mood.

"Xue’er, there are some things you might not understand, and I don’t know how to explain them to you. However, anything regarding him no longer concerns me in the future. I don’t want to know, nor do I care in the slightest."

Towards Jun Ruochen, her feelings were complicated.

Friendship, kinship, all had turned into a dream, and upon awakening, everything returned to nothingness...

"But Empress, Brother Chen said he has information on that person!"

Jun Ruoxue’s face was ashen as she cried out loudly.

That person?

Su Pan’er’s complexion changed, and she pressed her lips tightly together.

Qin Yi had been very busy recently.

The chaos of court affairs had kept Qin Yi extremely occupied. To make matters worse, soldiers from Western Xia frequently harassed the commoners at the border and had launched a surprise attack on a border town a month ago. They conquered several forts and continued their assault until they reached the vicinity of Pingxia City, where they finally halted their advance.

Word reached the palace, and Qin Yi, busy with deploying troops and generals, only today managed to find some respite as food and the Great Army had already set out. Only then did he, exhausted, return to the side palace hall.

He dismissed the Palace Maid and Eunuch who wanted to wait on him and slowly stepped into the side palace hall.

But there she was, Su Pan’er propping up her little head and frowning as if deep in thought, completely unaware of his arrival.

"Pan’er, what are you thinking about?"

Perhaps startled by his sudden speaking, Su Pan’er quickly got up to greet him.

"Your Majesty, when did you return? I had the Imperial Kitchen make some lily and corn sweetened water, chilled with ice. Do you want to have some to quench your thirst?"

It was scorchingly hot, and Qin Yi had worked up a sweat all the way here.

Although there were several basins of ice in the side palace hall, they did little to provide relief from the heat.

Upon hearing about the chilled lily and corn sweetened water, he nodded immediately, "That would be nice."

Su Pan’er smiled and casually ordered a servant to prepare it, then turned back to him, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

"Where are the children? Why don’t I see them?"

He hadn’t seen the two children for several days and was indeed starting to miss them.

"This morning they had arithmetic class. Little Yanyan dislikes it the most and caused a fuss, wanting to go to the Imperial Garden to pick lotus pods. Thinking that Shuang’er was with her, I agreed. With Shuang’er’s steadiness, there would be no problems with Yanyan."

As Qin Shuan’er grew older, Su Pan’er had come to trust her completely.

"Ah, that’s good."

Qin Yi responded casually. The chilled lily and corn sweetened water arrived quickly, containing lily, lotus seed, corn, and coix seed, all cooked and then chilled with ice. After eating it in the summer heat, it was particularly cooling and indeed a great delight for dispelling the heat.

Qin Yi finished a bowl rather quickly and then wiped his mouth. Seeing Su Pan’er sitting by and appearing somewhat distracted, he became curious.

"Pan’er, are you troubled by something?"

Su Pan’er snapped back to reality, lifted her head to glance at Qin Yi, then quickly looked down again. She asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, I—I would like to visit Huangjue Temple in person!"

"Huangjue Temple? What would you do there?"

His question knotted his brow.

The arson at Huangjue Temple marked the formal beginning of the Imperial Family’s strife.

So often one’s rise and fall hinge upon the same pivot!

The conflict within the Imperial Family started with the arson of Huangjue Temple and ended only when Qin Yi gave orders to surround the temple to capture Bald Donkey Liao Jue, the abbot who deluded the people.

The Great Army surrounded Huangjue Temple, but things didn’t go as expected.

Because many monks protected Liao Jue, forming strong formations within the temple, Liao Jue managed to escape the extensive pursuit by the soldiers, which utterly infuriated Qin Yi! He ordered the military to capture all the monks in Huangjue Temple and subject them to severe interrogation.

Qin Yi held a deep loathing for the monks, but the court and the commoners were increasingly reverent towards them, especially those from Huangjue Temple. Should news of Qin Yi’s extreme interrogation of the monks spread, it would surely stir public outrage.

Ye Han personally took the soldiers to Huangjue Temple. In the end, they had no choice but to imprison the many monks in an attempt to loosen their tongues. Unfortunately, many days passed, and the monks remained silent even under threat of death. Keeping them locked up was not a solution, so a month later, Qin Yi released them but ordered close surveillance on any unusual activity at Huangjue Temple.

Though there had been no news from his herd lately, Pan’er wanted to go to Huangjue Temple?

Qin Yi’s brow twitched, what would Pan’er do there?

"It’s Jun Ruochen, he said he has something to tell me."

The place Jun Ruochen and Su Pan’er had arranged to meet was not just anywhere, it was indeed Huangjue Temple.

A carriage arrived Unnoticed at the square in front of Huangjue Temple.

This was the site of Huangjue Temple, which suffered great calamities. Originally, the grand hall was ruthlessly destroyed by a vast fire.

With the help of Jiu Lan, Su Pan’er slowly stepped out of the carriage, lifting her head to look around.

The scenery surrounding the temple destroyed by the great fire remained the same, lush and with a pleasing landscape. It appeared no different from the Huangjue Temple she remembered.
