Chapter 15 - Tit for Tat (2/2)

Wei Jun reminded, “I understand that Your Majesty wants to protect her, but we can’t let Prince Yunhai go unchecked.”

Yun Cang nodded and agreed with him. The twinkle in his dark eyes indicated that he had an idea.

“Yes, we have to do something anyway. If he does that again, he may get my honey into troubles.”

Soon after Hua Qingxin returned to her camp, Eunuch Ling came with the emperor’s oral edict to award her. Consort Ming and Li Zhuozhuo were so furious, but Hua Qingxin didn’t notice them-all she saw was the maids coming in one by one with rewards on the trays they held.

He indeed kept his words and carried out it quickly, but Hua Qingxin felt she didn’t deserve these precious rewards. Each piece of the shining jewelry was a shame for her.

As Hua Qingxin stared at these rewards blankly, she suddenly heard a voice, “If you don’t like them, I can reward you more after we go back to the palace.”

“Your Majesty.” Hua Qingxin was shocked and came to herself. She hurriedly prostrated with great respect.

Yun Cang held her up and smiled, “I am not used to this well-behaved Hua Qingxin.”

“Your Majesty, your conferring has already brought the blame of others on you, so just take back the rewards.” Hua Qingxin couldn’t afford any extravagant expectations now.

“It doesn’t matter. If I say you are worthy of these, then you are worthy.” He picked out a hairpin from the jade plate and wore it on the hair on her temple, “Like it?”

Hua Qingxin had no mood in appreciating it and took down the hairpin, “Your Majesty, can we return to the palace now for your recovery?”

With a wounded body, he couldn’t go hunting anyway, so it was not bad to go back early.

Yun Cang raised a finger and shook it in front of Hua Qingxin, saying meaningfully, “No rush. I’ve not punished Prince Yunhai yet.”

Hua Qingxin was shocked and had a horrible hunch, “Your Majesty, he…”

Yung Cang looked at Hua Qingxin straight in the eye and said in a deep voice.

“He gave me an arrow, then I need to pay him back.”
