Chapter 650: Chapter 632: Isn’t it what he has always dreamed of?_1

"Eldest Young Master, you still haven’t answered my question."

It seems if I don’t answer, I won’t be able to eat these grilled meat skewers today!

"In fact, it’s nothing significant. I just heard some news that His Majesty’s troops have clashed with Prince Xuan’s army. After two confrontations, both ended with complete annihilation. Even the generals who were fighting were killed by Prince Xuan’s troops. Subsequently, their forces were chased and ran all the way into the Qinling region, their whereabouts unknown. Now, can you give me the skewers?"

While saying this, Qin Hong reached out his hand towards Su Pan’er.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and handed him a skewer.

"Don’t you have any news about Qin Yi?"

"Yes. Apparently, Lord Qin is also guarding him."

Taking a whiff of the skewer, Qin Hong nodded in satisfaction, and then began to devour it.

Su Pan’er also picked up a skewer and nibbled at it, but her thoughts were far away.

Had His Majesty’s troops really been pushed into the Qinling region? Even though it was already March, the weather was unforgiving. Many places were still blocked by heavy snow, impeding travel by carriage. The Qinling region was even more severely isolated by snow. The fact that His Majesty and his party escaped into the Qinling Mountains shows that they were pursued to the point of despair.

Thinking of this, Su Pan’er found the meat skewers in her mouth hard to swallow, stuck in her throat, neither going up nor down.

"Can I have a couple more skewers?"

Qin Hong continued to beg, "You don’t need to worry. The news I’ve heard is that many talented individuals are converging around His Majesty. After all, with His Majesty’s status, the old officials hold firm support for him. I don’t think there should be any major problems at the moment."

Su Pan’er handed him two skewers, her expression growing darker, "Your words don’t add up, and you’re stammering. Are you keeping something from me?"

Why did she feel like Qin Hong was hiding something?

"Surely there are things I’m keeping from you, but most of those are about the military secrets of the court. I’m sorry, but I can’t disclose them!"

Qin Hong had no intention of lying to her and brought out this majestic excuse.

But what he was hiding was far from just that!

His scouts had brought back lots of useful information.

For instance, His Majesty was seriously ill and seeking treatment everywhere. Qin Yi had already left His Majesty’s side and was searching for her. His Majesty did indeed have quite a number of troops around him, but most of them were nearly wiped out, only clinging on to their last breath. They were just holding out in the Qinling Mountains, where they were isolated by heavy snow and lacking in food and clothing.

Moreover, after Qin Zitong took power, the opposition forces in the court were growing stronger. During yesterday’s morning court session, two more officials were executed for contradicting him...

Additionally, Feudal Lords who originally had no claim to the throne had begun to take action. Some even established themselves as emperors, throwing the court into chaos.

All these were the situation in the court. Outside the court, the Turks in the North and Tubo in the west were restless, raiding the borders of Great Zhou Dynasty and taking over several cities. Thanks to the desperate resistance of the city defenders, two cities had been re-captured.

Even then, a war of attrition had inevitably begun.

Right now, riddled with external threats and internal conflicts, the political situation in the palace was precarious!

But he would never tell Su Pan’er about these.

Rather, he hoped that he could provide her with a warm home. Here, she could live a quiet life, far from the smoke of war. Occasionally, when he finishes his official duties, he could come by to visit her and chat with her. Weren’t these peaceful and heartfelt days what he always dreamed of?

His comment pushed Su Pan’er’s dissatisfaction to its peak.

"Alright! You can keep your secrets. You can roast it yourself! I’m not accompanying you anymore!"

Saying this, she tossed the remaining skewers into the fire, rose to her feet and headed straight out of the parlor. She opened the curtain and headed towards her room.

She wondered if little Yanyan was awake yet.

"Ah..."

Seeing the barbecue skewers that had been thrown into the fire, Qin Hong attempted to rescue them. He managed to retrieve two burned skewers in time, but they were clearly inedible now.

He had no choice but to throw the skewers back into the fire, his face filled with disappointment.

Such a waste!

But before he could finish regretting his wastefulness, he felt a rumbling in his stomach. The pain started to twist and turn, and before long intensified and became more frequent.

He couldn’t keep his cool anymore and quickly ran towards the latrine. The noise he made could be heard from far away.

By the time he managed to come out of the latrine, almost half an hour had passed!

But before he could get into the house, his stomach started twisting painfully again, and he quickly returned to the latrine. If he didn’t realize by now he’s been set up by her, all his years of living would be in vain.

He couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly in his heart, this lady, refuses to take a loss!

Despite his current predicament, struggling to stand straight and leaning against the wall for support, he found himself irresistibly attracted to her feisty spirit!

In the end, Qin Hong had to be carried away by a few people.

The commotion on that side was so great that news naturally reached Su Pan’er’s ears.

Su Pan’er chuckled secretly to herself!

Are her skewers that good? This time she only added some croton seeds; if there were to be a next time, it would not be as simple as just diarrhea!

Nanny Zhou and the others, however, were filled with worry.

"Milady, won’t the eldest son of Prince Xuan’s Mansion seek revenge because of this? If that happens, I’m afraid..." Nanny Zhou trailed off unable to finish her sentence.

Yet Su Pan’er remained unconcerned.

"Don’t worry! I didn’t intend to harm him seriously, otherwise, I wouldn’t have just added some croton seeds. I believe Qin Hong understands this. He isn’t petty enough to bear a grudge for such a petty matter."

Even if he did feel wronged, she didn’t care.

Who asked him to withhold information about Qin Yi? A small punishment was absolutely necessary.

She wondered how exactly Qin Yi and Brother Ye were doing.

While Su Pan’er was still thinking about Qin Yi, at this moment, Qin Yi was also thinking about her.

He disguised himself and went straight to the periphery of the force arranged by Qin Hong, staying outside Qin Hong’s temporary residence for two days.

In his mind, the person who had the means and ability to successfully take Pan’er away from Huangjue Temple was surely none other than Qin Hong!

But Qin Hong appeared to be perfect, with many troops under his command. How easy could it be to get close to him?
