Emperor, I Am Brutal - C100

After a busy night, Hu Xiao finally woke up slowly.

Looking at the canopy in front of her, she was stunned for a long time before she could open her mouth to speak. Once again, she forgot that her current identity was the empress of East Court.

“Zhi Lan.”

Just as he was busy using the medicine Hu Xiao wanted this morning, he suddenly heard Hu Xiao’s voice from inside the house. He quickly got up and walked in.

“Empress? Is the Empress awake? What’s wrong with it? “Someone, go tell His Majesty that the Empress is awake.”

Hu Xiao looked at Zhi Lan who was crying with joy and joy.

“I’m fine.”

It was only a small superficial wound, yet he had fainted for so long. Hu Xiao felt a little embarrassed.

“Empress, you really scared me to death. If something were to happen to the Empress, what should Zhi Lan do? “But His Majesty left just as the sun was about to rise. He has been keeping watch over the Empress the entire time.”

Seeing Hu Xiao seemingly searching for something, Zhi Lan laughed lightly.

It was also true that it was strange that Hu Xiao would not be able to see Qin Shuo every time she woke up. Although it was only for an instant, it was enough for Zhi Lan to not know what she was thinking.

“Mm, got it.”

After a long time without being able to utter a single word, Hu Xiao felt that her voice was extremely hoarse, and that even her speech had become much simpler.

Within the main hall of the Aquatic Manor.

The atmosphere had changed, and it felt incomparably heavy today.

Qin Shuo sat upright on the main seat as he looked at the ministers seated below him. The haze in his eyes grew even darker;

“The Water Manor has always been a peaceful place, but now, it has become an assassin wave after wave. Do you have any need to explain this matter to me?”

They were all useless people. If there were any benefits, they would fight for it. However, if something happened, they would all want to hide their faces!

He had been raised in the court for such a long time!

“Your majesty, this humble subject is unable to fully inspect the situation. This humble subject is willing to bear all the punishments, but since this humble subject’s interrogation, these assassins seemed to have been hiding inside the carriage from the very start. Their goal is probably the Empress.”

Zhao Qiyan looked at Wen Chen, who was normally quarreling but was now not letting go of a single word, anger burning in his heart.

“Hmm?”

“Your Majesty, this humble subject’s supervision is improper. Please punish me, Your Majesty!”

Yin Fufeng looked at the people around him who had erratic looks in their eyes, and then got up and knelt down.

Ever since the Liuzhou City had left the city, and himself had been responsible for the safety of the Emperor. Now that Zhao Qiyan had knelt down and accepted punishment, how could he, Yin Fufeng, hide behind them?

“Since that’s the case, I’ll punish the two of you with a salary of half a year’s worth!”

Raising his head to look at the courtiers and officials, Qin Shuo said.

This was a heinous crime, and merely receiving half a year’s worth of salary was already the lightest punishment. Zhao Qiyan and Yin Fufeng both heaved a sigh of relief, and got up to thank the Emperor.

“Your Majesty, the empress is awake.”

Just as he was about to say something, Wei Shi came over and reported.

“Today’s matter shall come to an end. If there are any more conditions, we can discuss them after this. You can withdraw.”

Hu Xiao had already been unconscious for a long time, so naturally, she had to go check on it when she woke up.

Rarely did he manage to stand outside and pull at his clothes, causing him to become extremely angry. If his clothes were to be messed up, it would probably cause Hu Xiao to laugh.

“Empress, His Majesty has come.”

Zhi Lan saw Qin Shuo, who was standing at the side, and gently woke him up.

“Hmm? His Majesty had come? Isn’t there something wrong? ”

Hu Xiao’s dazed look was extremely cute, if her face was not so pale, she would have been even better.

He struggled, wanting to do it, but he couldn’t.

Seeing that, Qin Shuo rushed forward to support Hu Xiao.

“This concubine thanks Your Majesty.”

If it were in the past, he would have already been sent flying by Hu Xiao’s fist.

“No need. Does the Queen feel that something is amiss? Yesterday, if we did not investigate, there were actually some remaining members of the underworld who were secretly trying to harm you to the point of almost harming you. ”

“Nothing, I heard from Zhi Lan that the incident yesterday, was really audacious. That person, please keep him safe and sound, once chenqie gets better, I will personally go and meet these assassins.”

How could she give up so easily after harming her to such a state?

Hearing that, Qin Shuo nodded his head, Hu Xiao’s lifeless look was too inconvenient, Qin Shuo was only there for a while before he left, Hu Xiao needed to rest, if he was there, Hu Xiao would be forcing herself to talk to him.

As expected, as soon as Qin Shuo left, Hu Xiao got onto her blanket and fell asleep again.

Hu Xiao’s body was considered good, and from the looks of it, it would only take him two days to get off the bed. As long as she could get off the bed, it would not be a big deal.

“Zhao Qiyan, stand guard here. No one is allowed to visit the Queen, not even a fly is allowed to enter.”

Looking at Zhao Qiyan who was behind him, he realised that Hu Xiao’s body would definitely not be able to endure another wave of assassins, and Zhao Qiyan was the only one with the ability to heal Hu Xiao’s injuries safely.

Zhao Qiyan nodded upon hearing it, he had already been patrolling outside Hu Xiao’s room for a long time, afraid that something would happen to Hu Xiao while he was under Zhao Qiyan’s watch. Aren’t you asking to be humiliated?

“General Zhao, did I find out that Empress was awake today? Now that I want to go in and accompany my sister, the General Zhao will definitely not allow it, right? ”

Seeing Qin Shuo leaving, Xue Mier hurried forward to say.

In the end, he did not dare to directly meet Hu Xiao in front of Qin Shuo, as he was afraid that Qin Shuo would see through something.

She did not sleep last night, so after knowing that the empress’s palace maid’s eunuchs were all busy, Xue Mier was panicking in her heart. Furthermore, the person that she sent out had not come back yet, so how could she still stay?

“Imperial Consort Xue, His Majesty has ordered that no one is to visit this Empress. Please go back.”

When Empress returned that day, Zhao Qiyan was very clear about what Xue Mier was going to do, even if she did not dare to do anything, it would not do. Forget about how annoying Hu Xiao was, letting Xue Mier into the Queen’s dirty eyes for no reason would be too disrespectful of him.

“Why, General Zhao, do you think I need to inform His Majesty about this now? Could it be that you, General Zhao, are lying to me? What do you want to do to the empress?

“Imperial Consort Xue, you have to be responsible for whatever you say. Seeing how anxious Imperial Consort Xue is, it can’t be that you have done something untoward to Empress, and now you want to confirm that Empress is alright?”

Xue Mier’s words were extremely overbearing, Yin Fufeng stood at the side and watched for a long time, in the end he could not hide and walked out, if he did not come out, his good friend and Xue Mier might really fight, and this would not be good.

“Hmm? Master Yin? Why does Master Yin say that? ”

Xue Mier became nervous after hearing it, and anxiously asked.
