The Empress Behind the Veil

Chapter 204 The Softness He Has Never Felt

Qin Ruojiu bit her lip and looked at her with a sharp look then said, “Nevent need your help.”

In just such a short time, no one had the chance to see how the Queen had fallen. Only Kang Yin and Emperor Zhaolie kept looking at him who saw how he had fallen. They looked so scared that they could not speak as if they were afraid that the Queen would disappear.

Kang Yin could not sit still anymore. Then he stood up and was about to go help Qin Ruojiu. But Emperor Zhaolie was a step faster than him, when he arrived, Emperor Zhaolie had already carried Qin Ruojiu away first.

His footsteps immediately felt heavy, his eyes also looked so annoyed and disappointed. The look in his eyes could make the person who saw him instantly fall into the darkness and could not get out of there.

Emperor Zhaolie walked with large strides to the side of Qin Ruojiu. In front of the shocked gazes of everyone's eyes, Emperor Zhaolie immediately knelt down and used one hand to embrace his shoulder and one hand again to embrace his small ping. Then he said in a soft tone that he had never listened to before, “Sick no?”

Qin Ruojiu who heard the voice was immediately startled and pushed him slowly. Even though Qin Ruojiu's body was currently in pain as she moved, but she who was about to shed those tears still tried to shake her head and said, “Not hurt.”

After hearing that answer, Emperor Zhaolie simply fell silent and said nothing. Then he narrowed his eyes and looked into Qin Ruojiu's eyes with a very deep gaze then said, “After this, the Emperor will never let you get hurt again.” Finished speaking, he immediately carried her gently and carefully as if he was holding a baby.

In the middle of the Hall, Qin Ruojiu lay inside the warm arms of Emperor Zhaolie while furrowing her brows, but her face was instantly flushed red.

At that moment, Su Zhener who was looking at the scene also felt extremely annoyed and was not out of thought. He was surprised to take a few steps back and shouted, “Emperor ...”

His soft and spoiled voice turned out to be the reply of Emperor Zhaolie with a cold and heartless look. Emperor Zhaolie immediately looked coldly at him and said, “Don't till Kasiar see this kind of incident again, otherwise Kasiar will break both your legs.”

Su Zhener's face immediately turned pale. At that moment, he opened his eyes wide and glared straight at the Emperor's back who was walking away.

Qin Ruojiu carried Kasiar to sit back on his grand chair in front of the shocked gazes of everyone.

The Emperor sat him down gently, this was a tenderness he had never felt before. It is a gentleness that a man will do to a woman he truly loves, so tender and caring. But, the only thing lacking was the feeling of uneasiness. But all that is enough. At the very least, he had already managed to make Su Zhener and Zhao Yuanran feel jealous until their eyes turned red.

“You're okay, right?” Kang Yin could not help himself anymore and looked directly at Qin Ruojiu and asked her. Inside her soft words was hidden a feeling of worry and care.

Qin Ruojiu was slightly surprised, then she looked towards Emperor Zhaolie to see his expression. At that moment, he only realized that Emperor Zhaolie's facial expression had already returned to that cold and indifferent expression. At that moment he just started to feel relieved and shook his head, “It's okay!”

Then, Emperor Zhaolie sat back down on his regal seat and did not look much at Qin Ruojiu anymore. He even told the female dancers to continue their show as if nothing had just happened. It was just an accident and nothing to worry about.

The officials of the palace could not guess what Emperor Zhaolie was thinking, so they could only try to keep smiling and forget about what had just happened.

However, Lu’er who was keeping Qin Ruojiu behind him was watching all of what had happened just now. It seemed like he also realized that Qin Ruojiu was not that comfortable. Then, he directly walked towards Qin Ruojiu then kneeled down slowly and helped her massage the injured parts of her body.

Until now Qin Ruojiu still did not understand why Su Zhener would do such a thing to her. She did not look for trouble with him at all, but this woman was still willing to look for trouble with him. First he deliberately forced her to drink wine, then accidentally made her fall.
