Chapter 596: Saved
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the morning, when All Yu woke up, the Empress Dowager called her over to talk. After a few words, the Empress Dowager was amused by Ah Yu and started laughing happily. Qin Huai was thinking about something at the side.
It was not until the Empress Dowager got someone to remove the table and pulled Qin Huai down with her that she sent away Princess Ruyi, who had come to make her presence known again. It was only when it was almost lunchtime that she let them go to the Empress’s palace.
The Empress Dowager said to Qin Huai, “Your Aunt hasn’t been feeling well recently. Go to her palace and walk around. See if there’s anything serious. I’m old, so I won’t go and annoy them.”
With that, the Empress Dowager pretended to be sleepy and leaned against the chair to rest with her eyes closed.
The moment Qin Huai heard the Empress Dowager speak, he turned to look at Ah Yu and saw her looking at him.
She looked puzzled.
On the way to the Empress’s bedroom, All Yu asked, “Big Brother Ah You, the Empress is your Aunt? Then are you also a relative of the Emperor?”
Qin Huai didn’t know whether to nod or shake his head.
He didn’t expect to reveal his identity in front of Ah Yu in such a manner one day, and he was not prepared.
However, Ah Yu did not think too much about it. Auntie could also refer to a distant relative. Of course, they could not be considered close relatives.
That was not right. She still had a good relationship with her grandfather’s cousins, but they could not compare to her Big Brothers.
If she needed help with anything, Ah Yu would definitely not look for her cousins. Instead, she would look for her Big Brothers.
After thinking too far ahead, Ah Yu came back to her senses and said, “Big Brother All You, am 1 not supposed to be asking this?”
“No,” Qin Huai said. “You can ask me anything you want. I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.”
Ah Yu shook her head. “Just like our family, Grandma and Grandpa don’t have many relatives now, but I think that perhaps they have many rich relatives and poor relatives. But relatives are relatives, and we’re us. We’re different. We can’t do anything about our relatives being very poor or very rich. Even if your aunt is the Empress, it doesn’t matter as long as your mother isn’t the Empress.”
Qin Huai:”…”
The problem was that his aunt was also his mother.
Ah Yu was a very principled person. Although she didn’t like the palace, she did not show it. It was not because she was afraid of the imperial power, but she felt that this might be a little rude.
Qin Huai hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to tell Ah Yu. In the end, he simply shut his mouth and pretended that he did not know anything.
Just like that, the two of them arrived at the Empress’s bedroom. In the end, before they could call someone to inform the Empress, they saw the Empress walking out aggressively with a sword.
Everyone on both sides were stunned, especially after Ah Yu’s sentence.
“Your Highness, the ground is cold.” Lu Liu took out a cloak from somewhere and draped it over the Empress. Then, she pretended to push the Empress back inadvertently. Empress Qin naturally followed this force and pretended that nothing had happened.
15 minutes later, Empress Qin sat gracefully in front of the two little fellows again.
Empress Qin looked at Ah Yu below and realized that she did not recognize her, so she followed Ah Yu’s words and asked the two of them, “Why are the two of you in my palace? Whose child are you?”
Ah Yu hurriedly said, “Your Highness Auntie Empress, the Empress Dowager asked us to come over.”
“The Empress Dowager asked you to come over?” Empress Qin was really puzzled for a while.
Speaking of which, she had not spoken to the Empress Dowager for many years. The Empress Dowager lived alone and didn’t allow anyone to disturb her.
“Her Highness Empress Dowager heard that the Empress is not in good health, so she called us over to take a look.” All Yu really raised her head to look at Empress Qin.
She realized that Empress Qin’s expression was indeed not good, so she quietly stuffed a porcelain bottle from her pocket into Qin Huai’s hand and said softly, “Big Brother All You, your aunt doesn’t look good. Give this medicine to her to try.”
Qin Huai did not move.
However, Empress Qin could see it clearly from above and asked, “Your name is Ah Yu, right? What did you give Huai’er just now?”
Qin Huai pinched the bottle. “It’s nothing. It’s just ordinary sugar water.”
“I like to drink sugar water the most. Let me try it.” Empress Qin pretended not to see Qin Huai’s unhappy face and took the thing away.
Then, in front of everyone, she placed the bottle to her mouth. Seeing All Yu smiling at her with an encouraging expression, Empress Qin really drank it in one gulp..
