Chapter 968: Chapter 973: Not a family, not under one roof!

"Fine, fine, fine, no ifs..."

She hurriedly followed his words, yet her heart was exceptionally sweet, "But if I had to choose again, I think I would still rush over to protect them..."

"You! Can’t you understand what I’m saying?"

Qin Yi was angry!

His rage was like that of a crown prince, his two sword-like eyebrows stood on end, dominantly pulling her body over and trapping her beneath him.

Su Pan’er exclaimed in surprise!

But she refused to submit, glaring back at him with fury, "She is my daughter! He is my brother! If I, Su Pan’er, were to see my daughter and brother in danger and remain indifferent, then I wouldn’t be Su Pan’er anymore."

Qin Yi glared back at her!

Neither of them would give in to the other, just like two roosters unable to admit defeat first in a fight.

"You... you foolish woman!"

Ultimately, it was Qin Yi who admitted defeat, his body relaxed and he collapsed beside her, disheartenedly saying, "But I’m even more foolish! To think I would fall for a foolish woman like you, and..."

Hopelessly in love!

This truly frustrated him.

"Yes! I am a foolish woman, and you? You’re so smart, yet you fancied a foolish woman like me, and I, in turn, fancy you, this foolish man. So strictly speaking, the two of us really do embody that common saying."

"Which one?"

"If they aren’t from the same family, they don’t enter the same house!"

Su Pan’er said it earnestly, but Qin Yi found it utterly delightful to hear.

"Haha! Good, your words are well-spoken and completely align with my sentiments."

Suddenly he was in an excellent mood.

Su Pan’er laughed too, her arms winding around his robust chest, burying her face in his embrace, "Quickly, go to sleep! It’s getting late. You still have morning court tomorrow."

"No rush."

Qin Yi laughed heartily, suddenly flipping on top of her and pressing down, kissing her lips once more, "We have more important matters to attend to right now..."

"Mm, stop..."

Su Pan’er’s words were only half-spoken when they were drowned in his passion.

The starry sky seemed to be blinking down at them, as though watching everything here.

It felt like she had only slept for a moment when there was movement at her side.

Exhausted, Su Pan’er could barely open her eyes and asked subconsciously, "Qin Yi?"

"Mm, I’m here. It’s still early; go back to sleep for a bit."

Qin Yi’s voice sounded beside her.

Barely able to keep her eyes open from exhaustion, Su Pan’er heard the familiar voice and instinctively closed her eyes to continue sleeping.

After making sure she was deeply asleep, Qin Yi carefully got up and started to dress himself in his underwear.

Once he left the sleeping chamber, various eunuchs and palace maids had already been waiting outside.

"Don’t disturb her."

After instructing the palace maids, Qin Yi, with the service of the eunuchs, bathed and changed into his dragon robe. Seeing that it was getting late, he hurried off to the morning court session.

Su Pan’er had a sound sleep and didn’t wake up until well into the morning.

Upon awakening, she felt soar all over her body, especially the area between her legs, where she could feel a warm liquid flowing out when she tried to move, which frightened her into lying back down. As her mind gradually cleared, memories of the previous night returned.

It was then that she realized Qin Yi had already left her side. A shaft of sunlight lay on the windowsill, indicating it was no longer early.

"Someone come!"

She called out loudly.

"Your servant greets the Empress."

A few palace maids entered silently, bowing to her.

"Qin... Where is His Majesty?"

Su Pan’er had become accustomed to calling Qin Yi by his name and nearly blurted it out, almost biting her own tongue in the process.

"Your servant reports to the Empress, His Majesty is currently dealing with court affairs in the Imperial Study with King Ye and others. Should your servant inform His Majesty that you have awoken?"

"There’s no need."

Su Pan’er waved her hand dismissively. Qin Yi was busy with important matters, and it would be improper for her to disturb him at this time.

"Go and prepare, I wish to bathe."

"Yes, Empress."

The palace maid seemed very clever and quickly made the arrangements, then suggested to Su Pan’er, "Empress, there is a hot spring in the side palace hall that is excellent for relaxing muscles and improving circulation. Would you like to try it?"

Soaking in hot spring water was indeed excellent for relaxing muscles and relieving fatigue from the body.

Su Pan’er’s eyes lit up!

"That sounds good!"

The hot spring mentioned by the palace maid was not far from His Majesty’s sleeping chamber; it was located in a side hall nearby.

As soon as Su Pan’er entered, she noticed that the hot spring had been modified by skilled craftsmen who had diverted the water from another location.

She immersed her body in the hot spring, leaving only her head above the water, and casually asked the young palace maid, "What is your name?"

"Your servant is called Jiu Lan, my Empress."

"Jiu Lan? You’re doing well. You may leave for now."

Su Pan’er ordered casually.

Once Jiu Lan had left, she closed her eyes and reflected on her thoughts.

When she had left from Luoyan Village, Xiren and Miaoyu had already married and had children. Besides, now that she and her husband shared affection, if she were to bring them both into the Imperial Palace, they would lose their chance to leave it forever.

After mulling it over, Su Pan’er had given them their freedom, letting the two couples stay among the common folk to lead their modest lives, and also to help manage the Qin Mansion.

Even though she was well aware,

Entering the palace was like diving into a deep sea!

Still, she held onto a hopeful thought and kept the Qin Mansion.

Even keeping a thought in her heart was something worth cherishing.

But by doing so, the number of people serving her had become too few.

Promoting some servants who were loyal to her was a necessity.

And this Jiu Lan seemed quite capable, not only experienced in her duties but also trusted by Qin Yi to take care of her—a person likely worthy of trust.

"Empress, Mrs. Ru and the two princesses request an audience," Jiu Lan reported from beside the hot spring.

Mrs. Ru was the title His Majesty had bestowed upon Mrs. Su-Hua, a first-rank lady.

Mother is here!

Su Pan’er’s eyes lit up again!

She had been pleasantly surprised to see her mother yesterday, and now, having just gotten up, to be able to see her again filled her heart with joy.

"Quick! Quickly invite them into the side hall. Jiu Lan, help me get dressed."

Jiu Lan complied, and soon more than a dozen palace maids, carrying dresses, appeared and slowly made their way to assist by the hot spring.

Once Su Pan’er stepped out of the hot spring, the palace maids approached to dry her off and changed her into attire suitable for her status. Dressed in a thin, cicada-wing-like, bright red muslin dress, she felt immediately refreshed.

Another maid came to arrange her hair into a raised hair bun and adorned it with a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, and yet another maid offered to apply her makeup, but Su Pan’er, losing her patience, waved them off.

After she had rid herself of the group of palace maids, by the time she appeared in front of Mrs. Su-Hua, a few minutes had passed.

Mrs. Ru was dressed in her court robe for entering the palace. Upon seeing Su Pan’er emerge, she was moved to come forward but forcefully restrained herself and knelt to offer her greetings to Su Pan’er.

"Your subordinate offers her greetings to the Empress."
