Chapter 1044 - 1040: Qin Yi’s Dilemma

Chapter 1044: Chapter 1040: Qin Yi’s Dilemma

A string of words, and Su Pan’er’s face changed dramatically!

"You’re talking nonsense!"

"Whether Poor Daoist is talking nonsense, Empress knows well in her heart."

Liao Chen bowed his head and chanted his Taoist name aloud, "Empress, it turns out that your coming here was ultimately because of Poor Daoist. Poor Daoist has been trying to correct his own mistakes, and can only hope that heaven is kind, so that when Poor Daoist goes down to meet his mentor, he may not be ashamed of his many years of teaching!"

Su Pan’er stepped back several steps in shock, her eyes firmly fixed on him.

"What do you mean by that? What exactly do you want to do?"

This Daoist Liao Chen wouldn’t be thinking of dealing with her, sending her back to that world, would he?

If it were the time when she had just arrived in this Different World, she might have considered it. But now, she had a husband and a daughter, living a blissfully happy life; to send her back to that world would not be doing her a favor, but torturing her!

Her heart was secretly in a hurry, thinking back to when she fought against Liao Jue, she couldn’t even deal with Liao Jue, let alone this Liao Chen who had defeated Liao Jue?

What should she do?

"Empress, don’t worry. If Poor Daoist meant you harm, he wouldn’t have waited until today, still not having made a move."

Liao Chen spoke lightly, picked up the already boiling refreshment, refilled Su Pan’er’s cup, and gestured for her to drink.

"Poor Daoist chooses to speak of these matters because he wants Empress to know that you and I are like two grasshoppers on the same string, both with a common enemy. That demon monk Liao Jue, if Poor Daoist does not eliminate him, his Heart’s Hate will not dissipate! If Empress trusts Poor Daoist, then leave that demon monk to Poor Daoist. How about that?"

Su Pan’er was silent, and did not answer for a long time.

Her hatred for Liao Jue was bone-deep, after all, who wouldn’t feel animosity towards someone who had caused their own death?

That Old Bald Donkey Liao Jue, the palm he struck on the top of her head, she would one day return it!

With a heavy heart, Su Pan’er returned to the side palace hall, only to find Qin Yi sitting beside the chaise lounge, his face serious as he pondered something.

"Isn’t today the day the Autumn Imperial Civil Service Examination begins? Why have you come back so early?"

Su Pan’er asked as if she did not know.

"Something came up, so I came back early."

Qin Yi turned his head, saw it was her, his expression relaxed, and he waved at her, "I heard you went out of the palace?"

It probably wasn’t just hearsay, but more like he had someone confirm it, right?

Su Pan’er did not Conceal it, nodded, and with a relaxed expression snuggled into Qin Yi’s embrace, "Correct! Ke’er is entering the examination hall today, and I specifically went to cheer him on!"

"Ke’er is ambitious, that’s good."

Qin Yi embraced her tightly, rubbing his head against her shoulder. The twelve beaded tassels from the crown on his head kept falling onto her neck, bringing a chill.

Su Pan’er instinctively Shrink her shoulders, gently pressed against his chest with her hand, and spoke softly and tenderly, "Your Majesty, what’s wrong?"

Qin Yi did not answer, but held her even tighter.

After a moment’s thought, Su Pan’er had a realization and quickly wrapped her arms around his Tiger waist, quietly accompanying him in silence.

After a while, Qin Yi pushed her away, somewhat hesitantly.

"It’s nothing. It’s just... I’m hungry."

The topic was somewhat abrupt.

Su Pan’er didn’t probe further, but rather smiled along with his words, "Not to mention, I’ve been running around half the day and am quite famished. Just in time, I brought some snacks back with me from outside, Qingwen, go fetch those snacks for His Majesty to try. Jiu Lan, have the Imperial Kitchen send up a meal."

Qingwen and Jiu Lan promptly responded and retreated respectively.

Soon, the snacks were served.

Lamb Intestines, mustard greens meat patty, peanut cake, Three Fresh Lotus Buns, Candied ripe pear...

Seeing these distinctive snacks before him, Qin Yi revealed a rare smile!

He graciously accepted the Lamb Intestines handed over by Eunuch An and took a bite, nodding slightly, "Hmm, this taste is still so delicious. It’s just like the flavor we had when we first arrived in Shengjing!"

"If you like it, try a bit of each, but don’t overeat— the Imperial Kitchen will be sending over a meal later."

Su Pan’er also scooped a spoonful of sweet potato mash into her mouth. The rich and fragrant taste made her smile involuntarily.

After having the Imperial meal, Qin Yi still didn’t want to leave until Little Shunzi sneaked in and whispered with Eunuch An; only then did he leave with an unsuspecting look.

Once Qin Yi had left, Su Pan’er summoned Jiu Lan, "Go! Find out what happened at the morning court session today."

Jiu Lan bowed, "Your Highness, your servant overheard from Eunuch Shunzi, who attends to His Majesty, that during the morning court session today, the late Emperor’s mentor, despite his advanced age, appeared in court and presented Memorials to Emperor listing over three hundred charges, all accusing Lord Qin, the Han Lin, Qin Hao. So, so..."

Jiu Lan stole a glance at Su Pan’er and then quickly lowered her head.

She had guessed it was something to do with Qin Hao!

Su Pan’er nodded, "Hmm, you’ve been following me all morning as well— go and rest. I wish to be alone for a while."

Once the attendants had withdrawn, Su Pan’er allowed herself to relax and rested on the chaise lounge.

The issue with Qin Hao had escalated so much, it seemed unlikely to end well. The question was, how would His Majesty handle Qin Hao in the end?

Su Pan’er speculated but maintained a composed demeanor on the surface, laughing and chatting with Qin Yi as usual.

Qin Yi appeared quite distracted, and for three consecutive days, he seemed lost in thought whenever he came back to rest. Clearly, he had matters on his mind that he found difficult to decide upon.

Three days later, Su Pan’er sneaked out of the palace again. This time, she didn’t bring the two children but took only Jiu Lan with her on the carriage out of the palace, heading straight for the outskirts of the Autumn Imperial Civil Service Examination venue.

It was the day the first Beneficent Examination ended, and from before dawn, groups of people had gathered outside the venue, waiting for the students inside to finish and come out.

At Si Time, students began to come out one after another from the venue.

Some beamed with joy while others shook their heads or appeared blank and bewildered, unable to grasp the situation.

Family members who had been waiting outside rushed to meet them, handing out clothes and offering food, bustling around busily.

Today, Su Pan’er was in a carriage with an exceptionally ordinary exterior. She didn’t alight but rather parked the carriage to the far corner and peered towards the entrance of the examination venue through the curtain. After waiting and waiting for maybe half a cup of tea’s time, she finally saw Su Ke and Xue Qian, huddled together and while talking, walking out of the venue.

Seeing that Ke’er’s expression wasn’t too bad, Su Pan’er breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly alighted from the carriage and gestured to Su Ke frantically.

"Ke’er, Ke’er! Over here!"

Su Ke lifted his head, spotted Su Pan’er’s gleaming eyes, and quickly left Xue Qian with brisk steps to approach her.

"Fourth Sister, what brings you here?"

"I came to pick you up from the examination, how was it, was it cold inside?"

Su Pan’er casually asked as she took a garment from Jiu Lan and draped it over Su Ke’s shoulders, then stuffed a hand warmer into his chest, "Hold this, it’s warm. Let’s get in the carriage and talk."
