Fallen Imperial Consort from Heaven - C1012 Why would you lie to me your subordinate

Shen Qin had followed Yan Xiao’s instructions and asked this question, but she did not expect Yan Xiao to answer it in such a manner.

If Miss Qin could make him go against the Imperial Concubine and her son, and make him leave the Imperial Family for more than ten years, how could he not be an unimportant person?

Shen Qin felt that Yan Xiao was obviously joking around with her.

“Since they are not important people, why must Pavilion Master ask this subordinate whether I am curious or not? What does this subordinate want to do with a person that is not important?”

Shen Qin’s tone was a bit heavy, and it was obvious that he was a bit angry. Even Yan Xiao could feel her anger, which actually made him obviously stunned for a moment.

It wasn’t that Shen Qin had never gotten angry in front of him, but he couldn’t remember when she became obedient in front of him, and didn’t even lose her temper a little.

He could sense that she was deliberately estranged from him. He only thought that she was aware of what he was thinking of her, and that she had distanced herself from him in order to avoid him.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiao’s heart became a lot more gloomy.

He had also thought that since she despised him because of his age, he would let her be.

But when he thought about how she was going to date another young master, he couldn’t help but feel nervous. He panicked, and uncontrollably wanted to ask who she was seeing, what kind of family he had, and whether Qin Er would take a fancy to that person, etc.

Thus, when he saw that the little girl had gotten angry at him after so long, he was actually happy.

He couldn’t help but burst out laughing when he saw the discontent on her face.

And this joyous laughter, had coincidentally been understood by Shen Qin as having another meaning.

“Pavilion Master knows Miss Qin isn’t some unimportant person, and can’t help but laugh when she thinks of her. Why lie to your subordinate, if your subordinate takes it seriously and thinks that she isn’t any important person? If you accidentally offended her, then you’ll have to ask your subordinate.”

Shen Qin said those words in a single breath with a cold face, completely unaware how sour her words were.

After saying that, seeing that Yan Xiao’s face still had a smile on it, at the same time, Shen Qin was angry in her heart, she was also feeling a little guilty. She did not dare look Yan Xiao in the eye directly, and only lowered her gaze slightly, and said: “The pavilion master does not have any other instructions, this subordinate will take his leave first.”

With that, she turned and left, but Yan Xiao raised his arms, blocking her path.

Shen Qin was stunned as she looked up at Yan Xiao. On her face, there was a trace of helplessness that caused her to be confused.

Seeing him bend his body slightly and look straight into her eyes, there was a light smile in his eyes, “Is Qin Er angry at me?”

This gentle “Qin Er”, coupled with the emotional smile on her face, directly hung onto Shen Qin’s body.

If she didn’t know that his Pavilion Master was like an immortal, aloof immortal, she would have thought that he was just teasing her on purpose.

“Your subordinate doesn’t dare, your subordinate is only …”

“Your Highness.”

Shen Qin had only spoken halfway when she was interrupted by the shadow guard who came over.

Yan Xiao frowned, he was unhappy as though someone had interrupted the atmosphere just now, his voice was filled with displeasure, “What happened?”

“That lady has woken up. She must see you, your highness.”

“She’s awake?”

Yan Xiao’s brows loosened up a little, and a cold light that could not be detected flashed past his eyes.

“Yes, she must see you. She has something important to tell you.”

“Got it, I’ll go right away.”

Yan Xiao’s expression was light, and the gentle smile he had when facing Shen Qin was no longer on his face.

Before walking over, he subconsciously looked at Shen Qin’s face. Seeing that she was in a daze, he opened his mouth wide, but didn’t say anything in the end.

The moment Yan Xiao left, Shen Qin regained his senses. Looking at Yan Xiao’s departing back, he revealed a faint sense of anxiety and smiled uneasily, his voice low to the point where one could barely hear, “This subordinate just does not want to know how good the relationship between you and her is.”

She whispered, and quietly finished what she had told Yan Xiao earlier.

Yan Xiao entered Qin Sang’s room and saw Qin Sang sitting on the bed with a pale face. Both of his eyes were fixated at the door, and upon seeing entering, his eyes lit up.

Hearing this address again, Yan Xiao’s heart had long since calmed down. This kind of intimate address was still far from being able to compare to Qin Er calling him “Pavilion Master” and making him happy.

He did not intentionally correct the way Qin Sang addressed him. He only walked over, lightly nodded his head, and said: “You’re awake.”

Qin Sang was not stupid, it was not that sshe did not hear the coldness and estrangement in Yan Xiao’s tone, but rather, he realized that she was completely different from the handsome youth from ten years ago, whose features were gentle and peaceful from her.

Thinking about that time, a few traces of disappointment appeared on Qin Sang’s face.

“You must be wondering why I’m alive again, right?”

She slowly opened his mouth, and the gaze he looked at Yan Xiao carried some hope, as if he still wanted to find out his previous love and gentleness from those indifferent and cold eyes.

However, the person in front of her was too calm and desolate. She couldn’t feel any emotions from him at all.

Even when she woke up all of a sudden, it didn’t seem to stir the slightest bit of wind or waves in his eyes.

“No.”

Unexpectedly, Yan Xiao only lightly shook his head, “I already knew that you were still alive.”

This time, it was Qin Sang who looked at him in disbelief, as he was slightly shocked by his answer.

Yan Xiao had indeed already known about it from a long time ago, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had the most tightly-knit intelligence network in the world. However, it was an accident to know that Qin Sang was still alive.

When he was investigating the King Wei’s rebellion, he had inadvertently found out about her head. At that time, he had already suspected her death.

Originally, he wanted to follow the clues of the King Wei to find out who Qin Sang was working for, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t find out.

After that, King Wei went on a rampage and the clues completely disappeared. Qin Sang also did not make any movements, so he temporarily stopped investigating her.

Until a while ago, when the assassination attempt on the three brothers was related to the Yizhou, he once again thought of her.

Yizhou…

That year when he unintentionally found out that she was still alive, wasn’t it the Yizhou?

Right now, just as he was walking towards the Yizhou, she appeared on her own. What did this mean?

This meant that there was a problem with the Yizhou, and the conspiracy of the person behind Qin Sang had begun more than ten years ago, or perhaps even earlier.

Since Yan Xiao knew that she was still alive, but he didn’t take the initiative to look for her, then he knew that ever since he found out that she was still alive, he had already suspected her motives for being by his side that day.

At that moment, she did not try to hide anything, but said with a dull expression, “Then you should know that I have another goal in getting close to you.”
