OBS Chapter 226 Hot
Chapter 226 Hot
One stone caused a thousand waves.
He almost made it clear. His burning gaze and the emotion in his words made Ruyi feel dizzy. The two of them sat side by side, and the air became a little strange because of his words.
Realizing what he had said, Ling Yunche's ears flushed, and his originally obsessive look instantly retracted. He clenched his fists, tightening and loosening them.
He seemed to have returned to being the young man in his twenties, reckless and brainless.
He made up for it dryly, "I hope the Queen will understand what I am saying and not mention the matter of getting married in the future."
Ruyi's cheeks felt a little hot. She raised her hand to touch her cheek, her slender armor brushing against her hair. She turned her head away shyly: "I know. If you don't like it, I won't mention it in the future..."
Ling Yunche's heart was pounding like a drum, his chest pounding like a deer, threatening to jump out of his throat. He clenched his fists tightly, his palms damp with sweat. He had assumed that by expressing his feelings so bluntly, the Empress would be disgusted and dismiss him as a stranger.
However, when he saw the Queen's shy expression, the joy in his heart surged like a tide, making it almost impossible for him to control himself.
The Queen understood his thoughts, right?
The Queen Mother did not reject him.
Yes, they are of the same mind.
Realizing this, Ling Yunche was overjoyed, and even his sickly face turned a little red, and he even felt a little dizzy.
As Ruyi finished speaking, the atmosphere between them suddenly became strange. Ling Yunche didn't say anything, just stared at her. Ruyi felt uneasy and twisted the handkerchief in her hand, not knowing how to react.
The atmosphere was tense, and she felt hot all over, her cheeks were burning almost to the point of burning, and her eyes darted around unconsciously.
When she met his gaze, she could no longer sit still and stood up in a panic.
"It's...it's getting late. You should take good care of yourself first. I will rescue you from the cold palace when I find the opportunity..."
"Okay, I'll wait."
His solemn promise and pious look made Ruyi even more unbearable. Seeing that he agreed, she nodded slightly and then left as if she was escaping in panic.
Watching her run away, Ling Yunche curled the corners of his lips in joy.
The Empress had always been dignified and reserved, but now she showed a bit of shyness in front of him, which was quite lively...
Ling Yunche's mood, which was originally a little disappointed due to the exclusion of his colleagues, completely improved with the arrival of Ruyi. Looking at the vermilion palace walls, he felt full of energy.
He will be well and wait for the day when he can be by the Queen's side again.
Since I can't be with her openly, I will guard her in this deep palace for the rest of my life, which will make our acquaintance complete.
Under Ling Yunche's gaze, Ruyi stumbled out of the narrow palace corridor, as if returning from a damp and dark corner to the embrace of wind and sunshine.
Her heart was beating so hard that it seemed like it would jump out of her chest at any moment.
This was a feeling she had never experienced in the past thirty years. A strange emotion spread wildly in her heart. She still remembered the burning gaze he gave her, which was like a tide that was about to drown her.
She knew, she knew it all...
"Empress, we've had enough of the Imperial Gardens. Let's go back. Aunt Yurong will be terribly worried if she can't find me when she returns."
Zhu Yun was guarding outside the alley. When he saw Ruyi coming out in a daze, he hurried over to support her.
God knows how anxious she was. She was afraid of encountering outsiders when she was guarding outside.
She even broke out in sweat on her forehead, fearing that someone would see that the Empress, the head of the imperial harem, had condescended to come to the cold palace to visit a guard who had made a mistake.
To put it nicely, it means caring about subordinates, but if someone with ulterior motives says it in a more unpleasant way, it can be said to be a secret meeting!
In this short quarter of an hour, Zhu Yun had thought clearly about how to arrange his affairs after his death.
"well......"
Only when she heard Zhu Yun's voice drifting in did Ruyi gradually come back to her senses.
Yurong is the emperor's person, and Zhu Yun is reminding himself to be careful about his behavior.
Ruyi finally pulled herself out of her chaotic mood. She calmed her surging emotions and returned to being the graceful and elegant queen.
She turned her head and looked deeply into the depths of the alley, with a bit more determination in her eyes.
Ling Yunche, just wait, I will definitely rescue you.
"Where has the Empress gone? Why didn't you tell me? You are so careless! The Empress should be accompanied by a guard of honor when she goes out. If anything happens to the Empress, you won't be able to compensate her even if you have ten lives!"
Yurong came back from the kitchen and found that the Queen had gone out. The people in the palace didn't even know where the Queen had gone, and they were extremely anxious.
She is not someone close to the emperor. After Rong Pei left, the emperor suggested to the empress dowager that a reliable person be sent to assist the queen and to regulate her words and deeds.
She was confused at first, but now seeing the disarray in the Yikun Palace, Yurong finally understood how difficult it was to serve this master.
Zhu Yun lowered his head, ready to be scolded.
Ruyi was in a good mood and helped out in a rare situation.
"It's okay, I'm just going out for a walk, don't scold her, I'm hungry, let's prepare the meal..."
With just a few words, she brushed aside today's events.
"Yes, the food is ready. Zhu Yun, the Queen likes you, so you will serve the Queen for meals today." Yurong glared at the little girl.
She knew the Empress Dowager didn't trust her, someone sent by the Emperor. She didn't care, it was just the same errand, so she could just give some advice at a critical moment. After all, she was the Empress Dowager's servant, so if anything went wrong, it wouldn't be her fault.
Ruyi walked to the side, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned her head to instruct Yurong.
"Yurong, the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching. Please give orders that my illness is still improving and we should resume our usual greetings. Otherwise, during my illness, the concubines will forget that I am the head of the Central Palace..."
"Yes, I will do it right away."
A hint of surprise flashed across Yurong's eyes.
She has been serving this master for more than half a year. On weekdays, she would stay in the Yiku Palace in a lifeless state. So why is she suddenly cheering up and wanting to pay her respects again?
