C432 (1/2)

Wei Qing did not dare to hide anything. Aside from informing Old Emperor about the number of days she had been unconscious, she also told him about the situation outside.

Old Emperor muttered to himself. Feeling that the time was not right, he decided to stay here.

Wei Qing brought the medicinal soup over and personally helped the Old Emperor drink it.

”Your majesty, the Royal Grandmother asked someone to specially make some porridge for you. Do you want to eat a little?”

Old Emperor was surprised, ”You just called mother 'Royal Grandmother'?”

Wei Qing nodded.

”Then, just follow Ah Qian and call us' royal father 'from now on.”

Wei Qing's hands trembled, and the bowl almost fell to the ground.

”Your Majesty, this isn't good, right?”

Old Emperor looked at her deeply, ”Wei Qing, you have the courage and the intention. We like you very much indeed, so you can just follow Ah Qian's words and call us' royal father '!”

A woman who could make peace, the Empress Dowager, even everyone's favorite, must have something special in her.

This time, in the secret room, Old Emperor had seen through Wei Qing thoroughly. An ordinary woman would not be able to match up to someone with such a calm and magnanimous temperament.

Wei Qing did her best to suppress the excitement in her heart, and knelt on the ground, ”royal father!”

Being able to be sincerely accepted by the empress dowager and the Old Emperor was even more exciting than being bestowed with gold and silver.

After serving Old Emperor and drinking a few more mouthfuls of white porridge, Old Emperor asked Wei Qing to go and bring over the papers that he had to deal with recently.

Wei Qing was worried that his body was weak and her wound had not healed yet either, so she advised him.

”Wei Qing, we know what to do!”

The empress dowager had stunned the empress dowager with her medicine this time. Xiao Hanqi was temporarily locked up in the prison and looked calm on the outside, but very soon, there would be big waves.

He had to arrange everything before then.

Wei Qing looked at him deeply for a moment, then nodded strongly, ”royal father is really my example!”

Old Emperor smirked.

Very quickly, under the excuse that she needed to personally look over the imperial reports, the Empress Dowager ordered her subordinates to move all the papers that needed to be handled to the Tzu Ning Palace.

Because she was afraid that the partition wall would hold her ears, the empress dowager merely left behind a few not-so-important papers. The rest she had Nanny Qiu deliver to the secret room multiple times.

Wei Qing basically did not sleep or shower at all for the past few days, and her entire body was extremely sticky.

Nanny Qiu told her to take a bath while she stayed behind to take care of Old Emperor.

Wei Qing nodded.

There was a small compartment in the secret chamber with a bath barrel, soap horn, and flower petals.

When Wei Qing entered, the water vapor was dense and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.

His hand reached into the bathtub and gently stirred it, seeing the flower petals stick to his hand, Wei Qing took a deep breath and took off her clothes.

Just as she was about to enter the bath barrel, she suddenly frowned and turned her head, ”Who is it?”

Behind the screen, a tall figure impressively appeared.

Wei Qing's pupils dilated, her lips intensely opened wide in excitement.

Xiao Qingqian strode forward, not disdaining the smell off Wei Qing's body in the slightest, as he pulled her into his embrace, and tightened his arms.

Wei Qing finally found her voice. She placed her hand across Xiao Qingqian's chest and gently pushed, ”Why have you come here?”

Xiao Qingqian said: ”Do you really believe that I will hold back and stay in Prince Chu’s Mansion?”
