Chapter 974: Chapter 979: Can’t Show My Face Anymore

This remark left Qin Yi’s face utterly void of expression.

Just when Old Cheng thought he had narrowly escaped disaster, Qin Yi suddenly threw a punch, hitting him squarely in the chin!

The next moment, Old Cheng’s frail body flew through the air, tracing a parabola before crashing heavily to the ground and burrowing into the decorative flower dais, crushing countless flowers and plants.

"For today, I will spare you for the numerous times you’ve assisted me in the past. If there is a next time, do not blame me for my ruthlessness, for I will slay without mercy!"

Having said this, Qin Yi, no longer paying attention to Old Cheng who lay in the flower Stage, turned and strode away like a shooting star.

How was he supposed to explain this incident to Su Pan’er? He felt as if he could see his bleak future already.

Old Cheng could only curse his bad luck in silence!

Everything had been going well, who on earth had brought this matter to His Majesty’s attention? If she found out who it was, she’d flay them alive!

Su Pan’er woke up at dawn.

But no sooner had she gotten up than a eunuch came to report that the young ladies from yesterday had come to seek an audience with the Empress again.

"Don’t see them."

Su Pan’er replied bluntly, "If they come again in the future, just stop them outside. Tell them that I have not yet awakened."

She had no desire to entertain these women!

She let the Palace Maid dress her hair in a raised hair bun and adorn it with a Nine-tailed Phoenix Hairpin, apply her makeup, and dust her with face powder before she slowly got to her feet.

"Where is His Majesty?"

Su Pan’er also remembered something concerning Qin Yi, "Right, is the celery all ready?"

"To report back to the Empress, the Imperial Kitchen has already prepared it. His Majesty has gone to the morning court session and has not yet returned. Shall we serve the Imperial meals now?"

"Serve them!"

It was already broad daylight, and he had still not returned?

It seems he wanted to avoid her?

Su Pan’er thought for a moment, "I feel stifled staying here in the Imperial Palace. After breakfast, I want to spend a few days at my brother’s place before returning. Have someone prepare the carriage quickly."

She wanted to see if he could still avoid her?

Su Pan’er ate her meal leisurely, and before she had finished a bowl of rice, she saw Qin Yi hurrying over.

"Pan’er, are you leaving the Imperial Palace?"

Before Su Pan’er could get up to greet him properly, Qin Yi helped her rise to her feet.

Su Pan’er shook her head.

"I just want to see my mother and Ke’er. Especially my little brother, who, I heard from mother, was terrified by the incident. I want to see him in person and tell him that he is not to blame for what happened."

"Indeed, he is not to blame. However, there is no need for you to leave the palace yourself; I can send an Imperial Envoy to take care of the matter. You’ve traveled overnight and must be tired, you should rest well."

"Indeed need a good rest!"

Su Pan’er looked at him deeply for a moment, then suddenly burst into joyful laughter, "It’s rare for His Majesty to be back; it would be good to join me for a meal. Your Majesty, you wouldn’t refuse, would you?"

Qin Yi’s lips were pursed tight as if sewn together, looking at the table full of dishes made with celery, not feeling very pleased at all.

"Of course, it’s just that I feel sorry for you, Pan’er. Not only do you have to take care of two children, but you also have to share my worries and solve problems for me. My heart aches for you. In the future, small matters like setting the menu should be left to the servants; you should just take good care of yourself."

"Your Majesty, are you displeased with me, Pan’er?"

Su Pan’er’s mouth turned down in an expression of aggrievement, with a manner seven parts little Yan Yan’s coquettishness, and the posture of being wronged.

Her eyes suddenly reddened, "If Your Majesty is displeased with Pan’er, then Pan’er, Pan’er will..."

"How could I? How could I possibly be displeased with you? Do not talk nonsense, Pan’er! This is me cherishing you, what I mean is, from now on you should just enjoy yourself, live comfortably and eat and drink well..."

"But I’m not a pig!"

Su Pan’er raised her eyes sharply, "I’m not close to seventy or eighty yet, how could I enjoy any peace and quiet? By saying that, are you wishing to shorten my life? I, I, I..."

How did this conversation get so off track!

"Alright, alright, alright, whatever you say goes, however you say it, I’ll do it, I have no objections. Is that okay?"

Unable to endure her vexatious behavior, Qin Yi simply acquiesced to her.

The result of pretending to be bold when one is not was naturally that Su Pan’er stuffed Qin Yi with a bellyful of celery—so much that Qin Yi felt unbearably bloated. The moment he stepped outside the side palace hall, he bent over in a corner and vomited!

Instantly, the eunuchs scurried about in shock, hurrying to carry Qin Yi to the dragon bed while simultaneously summoning the Imperial Physician for a consultation.

After a three-way diagnosis, the Imperial Physicians discussed and deliberated. Imperial Physician Wang stepped forward to report, "Your Majesty, at this time of summer, overeating harms the spleen, stomach, and liver. You must arrange your diet rationally and not indulge in the pleasures of the palate..."

Such a sermon left Qin Yi utterly unable to lift his head.

He was a full-grown man and unexpectedly had to see the Imperial Physician just because he’d eaten too much! It was truly embarrassing!

But that wasn’t the worst of it yet!

After the physicians had left, a palace maid rushed in to report that the Empress had left the palace with the two princesses!

"Left the palace? Why didn’t you stop her?"

Qin Yi sprang up in alarm, caring not for his own discomfort, and hurriedly led people to chase toward the palace gate.

Of course, he faced opposition from several eunuchs.

But Qin Yi still acted single-mindedly, chasing all the way to the Imperial Palace Gate. Just as he arrived, he saw Su Pan’er’s carriage speeding away from the gate and quickly commanded people to pursue it.

The reason Su Pan’er took the children out of the palace was indeed to give Qin Yi a taste of his own medicine, but she also truly wanted to see Ke’er. Additionally, she wanted to leave the palace to take a look outside and clear her mind.

Unexpectedly, merely stepping outside the palace gate, they were brought back by a group of the Imperial Guard. With nowhere to vent her anger, her face was far from pleasant.

But someone had a death wish. Seeing Su Pan’er’s carriage being brought back by the Imperial Guard, they rushed forward without waiting for the carriage to stop.

"Pan’er, are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere? You scared me to death. Come down!"

He reached out to pull Su Pan’er, but it was as if she had taken root in the carriage; no matter how he tugged, he couldn’t move her.

"Pan’er?"

Qin Yi looked at her in astonishment.

"Let go!"

There wasn’t a hint of expression on Su Pan’er’s face.

But Qin Yi, who knew her temperament well, realized she was infuriated!

"What’s wrong with you? Come, let’s go inside and talk." Qin Yi pulled her toward the inside.

"I said let go! Don’t touch me with your filthy hands!"

Su Pan’er struggled fiercely and broke free from his grasp, retreating several steps in the process, putting distance between them.

Qin Yi looked on incredulously!

"What did you say?"

"Your Majesty, I said you’re filthy!"

With so many women in the Imperial Harem, the very act of touching her was filthy, wasn’t it?

That thought alone made Su Pan’er’s gaze towards him as sharp as an ice blade.

"I’m filthy?"

Qin Yi seemed to echo her words automatically, as if unable to understand the meaning behind them.

Without waiting for his response, Su Pan’er walked right past him and headed swiftly towards the side palace hall.

"Pan’er, don’t go! Explain it to me clearly!"
