Chapter 28 Promise

In the center of the hall, there was a woman kneeling in a pink palace uniform, who was constantly kowtowing and begging for mercy: "The concubine knows it's wrong, please let the emperor take her life."

Seeing Su Qing entering the door, Qi Huai hurriedly waved to her and patted the seat next to her, "Concubine Ai, come here and sit here."

As soon as these words came out, Su Qing instantly received a group of jealous eye knives.

Even with the veil on, Su Qing's heart was beating non-stop, and her walking was a little stiff.

Even though it was less than ten steps away, she felt that it was as long as a river, as if she had walked for half a lifetime before she finally came to Qi Huai.

Just as I was about to sit down, I remembered that I didn't salute.

He hurriedly bowed his knees and was helped by Qi Huai.

Looking up at him, he found that he had a warm smile on his face and looked at her softly.

Su Qing's heart palpitated for no reason. She lowered her eyes and did not dare to collide with Qi Huai's eyes again. She only felt that her whole body was unbearably hot and her cheeks were burning.

Fortunately, there was a veil covering it, otherwise it would have to be discovered.

Seeing her covering her face, Qi Huai couldn't help but ask with concern, "How's the injury on your face?"

Su Qing didn't expect Qi Huai to ask this, she felt nervous, and said calmly, "It's still a little red and swollen."

Anyway, it's not good, I can't sleep.

Hearing this, Qi Huai frowned, took her hand and sat down, comforting a few words.

The good concubine below heard it, her eyes were spitting fire, and she secretly defended the emperor: it was only in the face of General Su that the emperor was so kind to Su Yaoyao, and she was not jealous!

Although I was so persuaded in my heart, my hands were clenched into fists.

Su Qing's hand froze when he was holding it, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but she thought that she was Su Guifei, doing so would arouse suspicion, so she endured it.

It was not yet winter, and there was no charcoal burning in the house, but Su Qing was still terribly hot, and a layer of fine sweat was already oozing out of her smooth forehead.

Qi Huai seemed to notice it, and Su Qing hurriedly smiled at him to hide his discomfort.

As far as his eyes could see, Qi Huai asked Eunuch Rong to take a handkerchief and wipe her sweat in person.

Su Qing's heartbeat became more intense. She felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty." She wanted to say that she could wipe it herself, but she swallowed the words again.

She doesn't want to cause trouble.

When the concubines and concubines saw it, they were mad with jealousy.

It's good to have an elder brother who has made great achievements, and actually let the emperor wipe her sweat in person!

Su Qing was completely unaware of the grief in the hearts of these concubines. She only felt that her heart was about to pop out of her chest, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind. How could she escape?

Qi Huai wiped off her sweat and didn't do anything else, just said to the queen, "Let's start."

The queen nodded in response, and gestured to the mammy beside her with her eyes.

After a while, the two palace servants put the tray on the desk and lifted the cover to reveal the contents inside.

A stack of silver notes, a hosta inlaid with gems, a pair of exquisite earrings, and a pair of crystal clear jade bracelets.

This stack of silver notes is worth hundreds of taels.

Under normal circumstances, such a stack of silver bills is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for a lifetime.

The queen looked at the woman in the center, "Xu promise, do you know these things?"

The woman who was called Xu Ying lowered her head and looked terrified. Her lips were trembling, and she didn't speak for a long time.
