Chapter 1019: Chapter 1019: Do you really want to push me into the arms of those women, hmm?

Su Pan’er half-squinted her eyes, gracefully leaning on the chaise lounge, as lazy as a little kitten that had retracted its sharp claws and settled down for a nap.

This posture, this charm, made it difficult for Qin Yi to look away.

He swallowed involuntarily, a wave of heat rising within him.

He slowly lowered his head, faintly catching the delicate fragrance wafting from her body, and noticed she was only covered with a thin quilt. Autumn had arrived, and the air was already getting colder, especially in the early mornings and evenings when the temperature dropped faster. How could this thin layer of bedding ward off the chill?

At once, a surge of anger flared in his heart! Suddenly bending over, he picked her up and headed for the bed behind the beaded curtain.

Su Pan’er had not actually fallen asleep. Feeling someone lifting her, she quickly opened her eyes and upon seeing Qin Yi’s movements, a flash of annoyance crossed her heart!

This handsome face, so close at hand, was favored by the heavens. Even after so many years, time hadn’t left the slightest trace on his face.

The bright yellow dragon robe wrapped around his robust figure made him look tall and imposing, a true embodiment of "looking slender in clothes but muscular underneath".

His eyes, not blinking, stared into hers, with flames of passion flickering within them. As his wife for many years, Su Pan’er knew all too well the meaning contained in his gaze.

"Your Majesty, let go of your concubine!"

Su Pan’er struggled to get down.

But Qin Yi held her even tighter: "Don’t move! Be good."

Just as Jiu Lan rushed back, she was stopped by Eunuch An: "Miss Jiu Lan, His Majesty and the Empress are inside!"

Jiu Lan glanced at Eunuch An but said nothing. Instead, she tiptoed, trying to look inside — more anxious upon hearing the conversation between the two.

"Eunuch An, the Empress is unwell, not only did she summon the High Judge Gao from the Imperial Medical Bureau to check her pulse, but just now your servant also followed the Empress’ order to go to the Purple Zen Hall. How could the Empress still serve in the Bedroom Palace?"

"This matter does not require your concern. His Majesty and the Empress are on good terms!"

Evidently, Eunuch An did not take Jiu Lan’s words seriously: "Besides, when have you ever seen His Majesty rest in another Bedroom Palace?"

Jiu Lan scoffed silently, smiled without saying a word, cast another glance behind the beaded curtain, and then reluctantly moved aside.

Su Pan’er sat up against the headboard, without a trace of sleepiness, and casually pulled out a Miscellany from under the jade pillow to browse through it, clearly showing no intention of chitchatting with Qin Yi and completely ignoring him.

Qin Yi raised an eyebrow! Even though he was often carefree, he could clearly sense Su Pan’er’s silent protest at this moment.

He also naturally sat down on the edge of the bed, making conversation with her as if talking to himself, showing no intention of leaving.

When the decoction was finally ready, Jiu Lan came in with the medicine bowl, and after a bow behind the beaded curtain to the two, she lifted the tray high: "Your Majesty, the Empress, the decoction is ready."

Even though separated by a beaded curtain, Su Pan’er could still smell the strong scent of medicine, causing her to frown slightly.

"Put it down."

"But, Zhou Tong Judge instructed that the medicine should be taken hot for better effect."

"Is that so?"

Su Pan’er laughed lightly and then put the Miscellany down, tossing it casually under the pillow: "Not only is Doctor Zhou increasingly heavy-handed with the licorice in the medicine, but his nagging habit is also becoming more pronounced. Bring it in!"

Qin Yi watched Jiu Lan bring in the bowl of decoction, dark as ink, his expression stiffening, and he asked Jiu Lan, "Is this the medicine prescribed by High Judge Gao? What did he say?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Gao said that the Empress’ illness stems from a chill caught in her earlier years and that now it must be slowly nursed."

Jiu Lan was somewhat uncertain how to proceed, yet she had no choice but to steel herself and answer.

But after her words, Qin Yi’s face turned even uglier!

Su Pan’er’s constitution indeed suffered a chill in the past, particularly during Yan Yan’s childbirth. The fact that High Judge Gao found complications now meant this was serious!

Su Pan’er casually took the medicine bowl, tilted her head back, and drained it in one gulp. The strong aftertaste of licorice was so intense that it almost made her retch, but she clenched her lips shut, took the water Jiu Lan offered to rinse her mouth, didn’t even glance at the preserved fruit beside her, and lay back under the covers and closed her eyes.

Qin Yi watched Su Pan’er’s every move in silence, then suddenly smiled slyly, his penetrating gaze locking on her. He leaned in close to her ear.

"You don’t want me to accompany you? Hmm?"

His words carried an unspoken threat.

Frightened, Jiu Lan’s face went pale, and she knelt down with a thump, shivering all over.

Outside, Eunuch An holding the sacred whisk also trembled like a sieve, clearly anxious as His Majesty was obviously angry, fearing that in a fit of rage, His Majesty might strike down the Empress.

Su Pan’er, however, seemed oblivious to Qin Yi’s anger, casting him an indifferent glance before she reached for the Miscellany again, flipping it open to where she’d left off, her eyes returning to the pages, speaking calmly.

"Just now, I had sent Jiu Lan to report to Your Majesty that I am indisposed with a lingering hard-to-treat illness. I cannot pass the Disease Qi to Your Majesty. Please move to Huayang Palace, and do not linger here. If Your Majesty truly desires the company of a woman, there are plenty of other concubines in the Imperial Harem’s Palace capable of easing Your Majesty’s desires. I shall not see you out."

Her words were quite acid!

The sourness in her speech was so palpable it could be smelled from miles away!

Qin Yi, not angry but rather laughing, pressed forward, gripping Su Pan’er’s chin, forcing her to look up into his eyes.

"Do you truly wish to push me into the arms of those women, hmm?"
