Before Hu Xiao and Zhi Lan could even return to the Imperial Palace, they were called back by an unfamiliar voice.
"Empress, please wait."
She turned around and saw a handsome man in a black official uniform walking slowly towards them.
Hu Xiao had an impression of him. Just now, when he was standing behind Qin Shuo, did Qin Shuo send someone to punish him?
Raising her brows, Hu Xiao was not afraid at all.
"Empress, His Majesty invites you to move to the study."
Just as Yin Fufeng's voice fell, Hu Xiao rejected it without giving him face: "Tell Qin Shuo, I am not free."
This was the first time Yin Fufeng had encountered such a situation. He was stunned for two seconds before reacting, "Empress, His Majesty is here to make peace!"
His words successfully stopped Hu Xiao in her tracks.
Peace?
"What do you mean?" Hu Xiao did not turn back, but her tone did not conceal her interest in mediating.
"This, on the other hand, requires the Empress to personally come to the study room for a chat." Yin Fufeng kept him in suspense, causing Hu Xiao to glance at him.
The man behind him looked to be even weaker than Qin Shuo, with curved eyebrows and curvy eyes, like an old cunning fox.
"Got it." Hu Xiao shot him a glance, and did not give him any face, and turned to walk towards the Imperial Palace: "You've eaten your fill, and do not wish to go too far.
Yin Fufeng stared dumbstruck at Hu Xiao's disappearing figure, the other party did not even turn back. After staring blankly for a long time, Yin Fufeng suddenly laughed with his fist to his lips. After laughing for long, he went to the study room to pass Hu Xiao's message to Qin Shuo under the strange expression of the Palace Servant.
As expected, the young emperor's face darkened once again.
This bold and daring empress, relying on her special status, had become more and more dismissive!
Qin Shuo angrily swept the imperial reports on the table to the ground, he calmed himself down and walked towards the Imperial Palace with a gloomy face.
Yin Fufeng helplessly looked at the imperial reports on the ground. A glint flashed in his eyes as he seemed to have thought about something: It's been a long time since I've seen my cousin lose control of his emotions.
Qin Shuo did not sense anything amiss and dismissed the guards at the door. These idiots were like decorations. They swaggered from under their nose to the Imperial Consort Xue Palace as a show of power, standing guard at the door like pillars.
"His Majesty came a bit late." Just as he entered the palace gates, Hu Xiao's faint voice sounded.
Qin Shuo paused in his steps, he turned to look at Hu Xiao who was half leaning on the pavilion in the courtyard, in her arms was a plate of unknown fruits.
Was he waiting for him?
Perhaps, during this period of time, due to the fact that Hu Xiao had been too rebellious and waited by this woman, a feeling of being overwhelmed by the unexpected favor grew in Qin Shuo's heart.
Lowering his eyelids halfway, Qin Shuo sat opposite of Hu Xiao. Before he could even speak, he saw Hu Xiao raise three thin and long fingers, the tip of which was bright red, causing his skin to shine like jade.
"I only have three requirements. First, freedom, but I'm not a canary in a cage. I can't always be locked in the palace, so if I want to leave the palace, you can't stop me!"
Qin Shuo was slightly startled, he had truly said the right thing for Yin Fufeng, this woman was not suited to the rules of the palace, so why did she feel uncomfortable?
After thinking for a moment, Qin Shuo nodded his head: "Alright, but I also have a condition. You can leave the palace, but you cannot act rashly. You are not allowed to lose face for the imperial family, and you are making it difficult for an outsider to step onto the stage. "
"Alright!" Hu Xiao withdrew a finger and continued: "Secondly, I am not interested in the struggle for power in the imperial harem. It is your business whether you are willing to favor the imperial concubine or not. Get your woman to stay away from me, or else if you piss me off, I can't guarantee that your concubine won't lose an arm or a leg! "
Even without your words, Gu Ruoyun will still tell the imperial concubine to stay away from you!
Qin Shuo did not forget that this woman kicked Imperial Consort Xue into the lake right in front of him.
"No, you are not allowed to take the initiative to cause trouble for them, and you are not allowed to cause such a mess in the Gu's harem!" Qin Shuo saw Hu Xiao nod her head, and asked: "Last request, what is it?"
