Volume 1 ◆ The Chaotic Imperial Harem 013: The Unconscious Su Jinping

  Leaving the room, the shock in her heart had not dissipated. She couldn't believe that someone like him was blind in both eyes, and even more unbelievable was that she would say something similar to a promise. She never interfered with others' business.

  Sigh, can't think it through so I won't think about it anymore. Hmm, that day on the tree, what I saw in his eyes was probably just my imagination, right?

  It's already deep autumn, wave after wave of cold wind strikes, and I involuntarily let out a sneeze. The water stains on my body haven't dried yet, and my footsteps have also become somewhat light and floating.

  She muttered to herself, if it were her own body, there would be no problem at all, but Su Jinping's body was really too weak. The injuries from being beaten by the empress a few days ago had not healed yet, and she could also feel her own body getting hotter and hotter. What the hell!

  It seems like I'm going to have a fever, if I faint and get found... I swallowed hard, isn't that just being beheaded in a daze from the fever?

  My vision is getting blurrier, and my resentment towards Huangfu Huaihan is growing deeper. Even if I didn't deeply love her, there's no need to send troops to capture her, right? This murderous dog of an emperor!

  She stumbled forward a few steps, not knowing where she had gone, and saw a purple figure vaguely in front of her. She secretly called out that things were going to go badly, and just as she was about to run, she heard a loud shout: "Su Jinping!"

  He stopped in his tracks, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground pretending to be dead!

  Huangfu Huaihan's mouth twitched, looking at the woman on the ground, walked to her side, let out a cold snort, stretched out his foot and kicked: "Get up for me!"

  A certain woman was secretly resentful in her heart, thinking that the emperor was a tyrant and had no gentlemanly demeanor, actually hitting a woman! But now, even if she had a hundred times more courage, she wouldn't dare to jump up and scold him.

  She didn't react, and I felt something was off. This crazy woman wasn't usually so docile! I crouched down to take a look at her, and she was soaked from head to toe - hadn't she fallen into some lake or other?

  She saw her lips move, furrowed her brow and prepared to listen to what she wanted to say, but all that entered her ears was "Huangfu Huaihan is a dog emperor!"

  His dark purple eyes turned cold, the veins on his forehead jumped up, and his anger was not yet dissipated. Another sentence came: "Actually bullying a woman, not like a man!"

  "Hmph! Not like a man? Hmph, this woman is quite bold!"

  Kobayakawa was watching the expression on Huangfu Huahan's face with bated breath, the emperor's heart is the most unpredictable, one second ago it was overcast, the next second it was clear and bright, and I don't know what would happen to this funny palace maid.

  But what happened next was beyond his wildest imagination - His Imperial Majesty, the noble Emperor himself, personally picked up the palace maid and headed towards the Nurturing Heart Palace!

  "Your Majesty, we'll just hold you and it's fine, no need to trouble yourself!" Xiao Linzi wiped his eyes, making sure he wasn't seeing things wrong, then hastily stepped forward. The Emperor had never even held the Empress before, so... this... this palace maid was benefiting from disaster?

  "Summon the imperial physician!" A voice came from afar, leaving one wondering what was on their mind.

  "Yes!" Little Linzi responded, immediately instructing the servants to invite the imperial physician. However, in his heart, he was shocked and wondered if this palace maid was going to gain the emperor's favor by chance? If that were true, then he could only say that in the twenty-odd years he had been in the imperial palace, he had never seen a favored concubine rise to power so suddenly!

  Su Jinping still didn't know that she had just walked through the Ghost Gate, and was only peacefully fainting in someone's arms. Of course, if she knew it was in Huangfu Huachen's arms, she would probably be so scared that she would jump up immediately and run ten meters away!

  ……

  "Your Majesty, Su Jinping has contracted a cold and, coupled with the flogging she received some days ago, that's why she has been running a high fever that won't subside!" The imperial physician reported reverently.

  Huangfu Huaihan leaned back in his chair, flipping through the memorial, seemingly not having the slightest interest in her illness. However, upon hearing the words "flogging punishment", his eyes gleamed with a hint of cold light: "Xiao Linzi."

  Three words floated out, and Xiao Linzi immediately crawled to the center of the main hall on his knees: "Your Majesty forgive me, Your Majesty forgive me, I didn't know about it and didn't report it, only..." Only the Empress often misused private punishment, and the Emperor was not very concerned with the affairs of the harem, so he turned a blind eye, pretending not to see, and also avoided offending the Empress.

  "What's going on? Is there a law in the Eastern Mausoleum that prohibits the use of private punishment in the harem?" He was not concerned about Su Jinping's life or death, but rather that someone in the harem had used private punishment without reporting it to him. As the emperor, he naturally did not like things to be out of his control.

  Kobayashi paused for half a day and still couldn't say anything conclusive.

  "Half a year's salary will be deducted, and the Empress will be forbidden from leaving her palace for a month, as a warning. The memorial was thrown to one side, and he headed towards the Qianlong Palace. In this harem, who else would dare to use private punishment except for Helian Youyu?"

  "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty! And what about Su Jinping, how will she be dealt with?" Little Linzi followed behind him with his head bowed respectfully.

  "It's all melted, take it back."

  "What?!" Linzi's jaw dropped in disbelief. The Emperor had always been strict and just, so how could he let Su Jinping off scot-free after such a huge mistake?

  "Hmph, I am a man and do not bully women." He did not want to be gossiped about by the world because of a small palace maid. As for why he had personally carried her at that time, this was something he himself could not understand.

  Kobayakawa's mouth twitched, and he could only bow his head behind him and sigh, "The heart of a noble is hard to fathom."

  ……

  As soon as Su Jinping woke up, she saw Hong Feng with a complex expression. A carp jumped up and sat up straight, touching its own neck, and it was still there! Huangfu Huaihan didn't seem like such a kind-hearted person after all.

  "You've been asleep for two days and one night, and you were only sent back early this morning. It's not me saying it, but the Emperor was merciful this time. You must never provoke him again, because not every time will you have such good luck!" She had never thought that she would see Su Jinping alive in this lifetime, so her feelings were extremely complicated!

  "Are you saying His Majesty has spared me?" Su Jinping's eyes widened in disbelief.

  "Hmm! So you'd better have some restraint, honestly sweep your floor, and never disturb the Holy One again. Otherwise, even if the Heavenly King himself comes out to protect you, he won't be able to save you!" Hong Feng instructed.

  "Wait, wait...... Are you saying that Huangfu Huichen really let me off?" What does this mean? What does this imply?

  Hong Feng hastily covered her mouth: "Is the Emperor's name something you can call out? You always lack a sense of propriety!"

  "No, Auntie, do you think that according to the Emperor's usual temperament, he would let me off?" She had known Huangfu Huaihan for not long, but she could also be certain that the cold-faced emperor was not easy to talk to.

  "It won't work, so you should be more grateful to the heavens, if it weren't for..."

  "Hahaha……" A woman threw her head back and laughed wildly, "You also know that he won't let me off easily, but this time he actually did, what does this mean? This means the emperor already has feelings for me, that's why he let me off, this means I may not have achieved overnight success, but I'm taking step by step towards it!"

  Hong Feng was as if struck by lightning! With a numb face, she sat to the side, looking at that enthusiastic person. Is Su Jinping's brain not like normal people? So the things she thinks about are somewhat beyond this world?

  "Red Maple Aunt, is there anything to eat? I'm starving, hurry up and get something ready, after we finish eating, we'll continue to entice the Emperor!" Su Jinping quickly put on her clothes.

  Hong Feng's mouth was agape as he stared blankly at her, his mind only left with four words - obstinately refusing to understand!

  Digression

  Su Jinping: "Have you kept it?"

  "You're really stubborn! Collecting every day!" The readers scolded.

  "Haha... Begging for a collection is just like seducing the emperor. As long as I keep seducing him, one day I'll succeed! Collecting isn't any different, right?"
