Chapter 584: Add One Point

“This is someone else’s house. There’s nothing to like or dislike.” All Yu still knew that this was the palace. She could not say anything lest she caused trouble for her family.
Qin Huai’s tone was still a little low. “Is that so?”
Actually, he did not think that there was anything good or bad about this place. Be it the ministers and officials living here, the Emperor’s concubines, or the palace maids and guards, they were no different in his eyes.
They were all people who lived in cages. The Imperial Palace was a cage, the Imperial City was a cage, and the entire Capital City and even the entire Great Chang were cages. It depended on what one thought.
In any case, as long as Ah Yu was around, even if it was just a small house, he would not feel bored staying in one place for three to five years.
Ah Yu found it a little strange. “Big Brother Ah You, do you have something to tell me? I think you’ve looked troubled ever since you walked into this palace. The way you frown doesn’t look as good as when you smile.”
Qin Huai shook his head. “It’s nothing. Perhaps it’s because I’m a little tired from the long journey. Ah Yu, you should rest too. It’s still a long way from here to see the Emperor.”
They were sitting in the carriage in the palace. After arriving at the inner palace, they still had to change to other transportation tools. In any case, he would never let Ah Yu walk.
Ah Yu yawned. They had been riding in the carriage for a few hours and were indeed tired.
“Then 1’11 sleep for a while. Call me when we arrive,” Ah Yu said and began to sleep. After a while, she fell asleep on her side.
This time, they did not bring Tang Yuan with them to Wanning City. When they arrived at the palace, Chi Jia and the others were not allowed to hide. Only Chi Jia was allowed to accompany them in.
Qin Huai hesitated for a moment before helping Ah Yu lie down in the carriage.
This carriage was not very big, and Ah Yu’s head could only tilt. Qin Huai simply knelt down and let Ah Yu’s head rest on his palm to prevent her neck from feeling uncomfortable.
At this moment, Ah Yu had already sent her will into the spatial pocket.
“Elf, is the Shared Fate Gu on Big Brother All You still affecting him?” All Yu was a little worried. “He doesn’t look too good.”
Meatbail: [Have you thought of another possibility, such as why he was in a bad mood the moment he entered the palace?]
Meatbail tried to guide Ah Yu towards the truth from another angle.
After entering Wanning City, Meatball’s news network covered the entire city, but not the Imperial City.
When Ah Yu entered the Imperial City, Meatball’s range was updated.
Now that they were in the palace, Meatbail had also found out a lot of information about the palace.
For example, Qin Huai’s true identity, including Empress Qin’s current physical condition, and so on.
Meatbail was still hesitating if it should tell All Yu everything it knew. However, Ah Yu was still too young. She was only 11 years old. Knowing so much in advance was not a good thing for Ah Yu’s growth.
There was no need to let Ah Yu think about the matters of the adults at such a young age and enter the world of adults.
It was better to hide it unless these things threatened Ah Yu’s wellbeing.
Also, if these people threatened Ah Yu’s safety or made her unhappy, Meatbail would definitely let them know the power of a true Guardian.
“Elf, why are you in a daze too?” Ah Yu chattered for a long time and realized that Meatball was actually looking at the void in a daze. This was a rare thing.
[It’s nothing. I’m just thinking that there are many imperial chefs and some imperial physicians in the palace. You can ask them for some prescriptions.] “Good idea!” Ah Yu was immediately led astray by Meatbail, but she still reacted. “You haven’t answered me yet. Is Big Brother Ah You alright? Or do I need to pay another set of points to check him again?”
[I think you should sleep first. You’ll know the answer when you see the person you want to see.]
Meatbail was most worried about Ah Yu’s body now. Others could not tell, but Meatbail knew that Ah Yu had been very nervous recently. On the one hand, she was worried about Qin Huai, and on the other hand, she was worried that Old Madam Wang and the others would not be used to the big city.
In Ah Yu’s heart, Grandma and Grandpa were both village farmers. When they arrived in town, they were quite happy.
However, ever since Ah Yu returned from her trip, she realized that the smile on Grandma’s face appeared much less frequently. This time, she had followed her to Wanning City with the intention of letting Grandma relax.
However, Grandma and Grandpa did not look very happy.
Others did not know, but Ah Yu could tell when Old Madam Wang was really happy, when she was pretending to smile, and when she was really angry.
For example, now, Old Madam Wang would occasionally smile coldly. That was true mockery.
Especially at the city gate of Wanning City, All Yu saw Grandma’s terrified and nervous (actually disdainful) expression.
[Don’t think too much. If you think too much, you won’t grow tall.]
Ah Yu could only sleep on the princess bed that Meatbail had specially arranged for her. She closed her eyes obediently and muttered, “1 know, I know. I’ll sleep well. Don’t always say that I can’t grow taller. 1 still want to grow taller!”
When Ah Yu woke up again, the sky outside was already dark. She sat up in the carriage feeling refreshed, but she heard Qin Huai hiss.
Touching the darkness, Ah Yu hurriedly asked, “Big Brother Ah You, are you hurt anywhere?”
Qin Huai endured the extreme pain and numbness and placed the hand supporting Ah Yu’s cheek behind his back. He took a deep breath and said, “I’m fine.”
“But 1 heard you hiss in pain. Let me see—” All Yu called out to Meatbail and took a glowing fluorite from the spatial pocket. She raised it and shone it on Qin Huai’s face. She happened to see Qin Huai’s forbearing expression. “Did I bump you somewhere? Or did the Shared Fate Gu act up again?”
It was fine if Ah Yu did not move, but when she did, Qin Huai felt his hands go numb and tremble. He could only grit his teeth.
Sweat was forced out of his forehead as he hurriedly said, “Don’t move, don’t move. Just stay still like that. It’ll be fine in a while.”
“Will you really be fine? 1 think I should still take a look.” All Yu was worried.
Qin Huai secretly forced out his true qi and urged it to flow towards his palm. Soon, the pain dissipated.
“I’m fine now. 1 just sat for too long and my legs went numb.” Qin Huai waved his hand calmly.
“Oh.”
In the spatial pocket, Meatball took out a small notebook and wrote on it: [Kid’s little husband’s performance was not bad. Add one point.]
This was the “A Study of Ah Yu’s Interpersonal Relations” that it had specially created. There was also a separate booklet that specially recorded what Qian Huai usually did to Ah Yu. If he did well, one point would be added, and if he did not do it well, loo points would be deducted.
Over the past few years, Qin Huai had accumulated more than 300 points.
“Young Master Qin, Young Miss Wang, we’ve arrived at the Qinchen Palace,” a young eunuch shouted from outside..
