The Empress Behind the Veil

Chapter 228 Don't Just Look at Me

Although his countenance was embarrassed, but there was a hint of bitterness in Qin Ruojiu's heart. Because after passing this day, he would leave tomorrow night, afraid that later he would never have this chance again.

Qin Ruojiu originally thought Emperor Zhaolie would approve of it, but unexpectedly, Emperor Zhaolie only held his chin, gently kissing his forehead, the look in his eyes was filled with affection as well as love, Emperor Zhaolie said: “No need, earlier you made me very satisfied, now you definitely do not have much energy to do other things, I will do it alone.” After he finished speaking, Emperor Zhaolie again bowed and gently kissed the white and delicate earlobe of Qin Ruojiu, then only retreated while smiling mischievously.

Qin Ruojiu only felt her entire body tremble, her beautiful face flushed red already like a ripe apple. For a moment, he lay on the bed, his eyes lost focus.

Her face was hot, a kind of sweetness and indescribable happiness filled her chest.

When Qin Ruojiu again lowered her head, she instead saw Emperor Zhaolie already quickly put on his clothes, smoothing out the wrinkles on his sleeves.

Qin Ruojiu wanted to say something, but instead of being interrupted by Emperor Zhaolie, she turned her head and commented a wide evil smile, then said elegantly: “Qin Ruojiu, don't just look at me, just look at me, remember not to catch a cold, tonight I will be in the royal workroom, I will take the time to meet you tomorrow.” After he finished speaking, Emperor Zhaolie placed both of his hands behind his back then left.

That confused Qin Ruojiu's gaze only left behind the figure of Emperor Zhaolie who left hurriedly. The figure slowly became blurred, like a wind blowing. Disappearing, such a huge feeling of disappointment, it was something she had never experienced before.

Actually Qin Ruojiu really wanted to make him stay. Qin Ruojiu knew for a few hours after returning from Fengyi Palace, she did not eat, Qin Ruojiu wanted to cook himself for her, making the last meal. Only unfortunately was he always so busy, except accompanying her occasionally, they did not even have time to chat.

But after pondering closely, that thought of her was truly very ridiculous. He is the Emperor, the highest King. How could Emperor Zhaolie who was in charge of all the people just be on the side of a woman like her? In this world, no one could control his heart, perhaps, except for the woman named Li Qing, Emperor Zhaolie would never put anyone in his heart.

After mocking himself, Qin Ruojiu felt a chill in front of his chest. When he lowered his head he realized, somehow the brocade blanket that covered the front of his chest had slumped down below his body. Her snow-white skin was exposed, traces of redness that accidentally appeared due to intense romance were also seen. Recalling the words of Emperor Zhaolie who told him not to catch a cold, Qin Ruojiu's cheeks once again flushed involuntarily. It turned out that Emperor Zhaolie had already seen through everything.

After Emperor Zhaolie left, Qin Ruojiu slowly descended, put on her clothes then sat in front of the mirror.

In the bronze mirror, her long black hair that was so soft, shouldered and tied up high using a phoenix crown that was so beautiful and dazzling, a golden hairpin was inserted over the hair, and there was a golden hairpin, long beads stuck down and swayed between her hair. Staring at himself in the mirror for a long time, Qin Ruojiu got up then walked over, the bell hanging on his waist was clinking.

The day was getting darker, Qin Ruojiu walked over to the window, opened the window frame then a cold wind blew in through the window, already like her current mood, so hollow and empty, it was, at the same time it is complicated. Qin Ruojiu stretched out her hand, letting her fingertips feel the wind blowing softly, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, in the distance, in the distance, there were armored guards on patrol and also some small palace servants cleaning around.

Everything that seemed beautiful turned out to even make his heart so panicked and anxious.
