Not bowing... really not possible!
Qin Yu was actually wearing very loose clothing, but still couldn’t hide his respect for the Empress Dowager!
It was the Empress who called him to the Jade Flower Palace.
Just as he arrived at the palace gate, before he could announce his arrival, the gate suddenly opened, and the Empress Dowager rushed out, moving so swiftly that he couldn’t avoid her.
If this were the previous life, he could have reported the Empress Dowager for charging with the ball!
"Hmph, I thought that tyrant forgot."
The Empress Dowager muttered softly, casually rubbing her Great Phoenix in front of Qin Yu, and asked, a little puzzled, "How did you bump into me?"
How did I bump into her?
Qin Yu was forced to recall the moment he was hit by the charging ball...
He was completely bounced off just now, almost flown away!
It was terrifying!
"I... didn’t mean to."
Although both his heart and body enjoyed it, Qin Yu dared not act recklessly in front of the Empress Dowager, so he could only express his apology, bowing even lower.
This was the Empress Dowager of the Great Yan Immortal Country!
She could be pure, but he couldn’t afford to offend her.
"That’s not what I meant..."
The Empress Dowager wanted to explain.
She is auspicious!
Born with the ability to seek good fortune and avoid disasters.
On ordinary days, not to mention being bumped into, even if she accidentally stepped on a puddle, a spiritual bird would fall on it, and so on...
The key is...
Damn Qin Yu, why is his body so hard, she really got... hurt!
The Empress Dowager was about to continue questioning when Little Ling’Er’s voice came, "Are you alright, Empress Dowager?"
With a burst of footsteps, Little Ling’Er quickly walked over.
The girl’s hair was a bit disheveled across her forehead, and her delicate, doll-like face had a slight pale, perhaps because of running a bit earlier, even her breathing was somewhat rapid.
"I’m fine, why did Ling’Er run over?"
The Empress Dowager quickly went over to support Little Ling’Er, but her eyes brightened up, "Brother Qin Yu!"
"Princess."
Looking at the smile blooming on the girl’s face towards him, Qin Yu felt a warmth in his heart.
"Hurry, Ling’Er has been unwell for a long time."
Urged by the Empress Dowager, Qin Yu reached out to the girl, watching her doll-like face gradually regain color, he finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
On the Phoenix Carriage, every night he would return to his Lifebound Space at dusk and come out in the morning, even so, Little Ling’Er’s aura would be a bit chaotic, and he indeed left a bit too early after bidding farewell to the Empress yesterday.
But...
Qin Yu couldn’t help it, he couldn’t just ask the Empress to let him heal Little Ling’Er, could he?!
Obviously, his deeds, the Empress probably already knows.
Worried!
Actually, he really is a decent person, just unable to withstand some trials.
Surely, the Empress would misunderstand his character.
If he took the initiative to speak, the Empress might think he had ill intentions, but... how would he dare?!
Qin Yu is someone with a good sense of self-awareness!
Thinking back to the Cyan Mountain Sect, when he didn’t have enough strength, wasn’t he respectfully to the Sect Leader and Liu Zixiao?!
Now, let’s forget about a kick.
It’s feared that just one finger from the Empress could crush him.
Can’t afford to provoke, dare not provoke!
Moreover, the situation in the Imperial Capital is different from the Cyan Mountain Sect, back then he dared to be impudent because... the Cyan Mountain Sect couldn’t do without him.
But now, he probably isn’t indispensable, right?
In any case, it’s best to be cautious and at least understand the Empress’s temperament before doing anything.
"Is the Princess feeling better?"
Qin Yu quickly focused on Ling’Er.
He really harbored no evil thoughts.
Anyone who saw such a Ling’Er would only want to care for her properly, not think of harming her.
Qin Yu was naturally the same.
"Now that Brother Qin Yu is here, Ling’Er is fine!"
Little Ling’Er’s beautiful large eyes curved into adorable crescents.
Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, looking at the girl, and eventually reached out to smoothen her disheveled hair.
She didn’t have the airs of a princess, nor the temper of someone pampered, but was so sensible it made one’s heart ache, never causing trouble for anyone.
Actually, as a princess, she had the power to order him to spend more time with her, but she would always request and never demand.
"Brother Qin Yu, this is a wreath the Empress Dowager wove for Ling’Er, a gift for you."
She held up the small wreath, offering it to Qin Yu.
The Empress Dowager saw this and hesitated to say anything.
She had woven it for quite a while.
And that guy bumped into her so painfully just now, she didn’t want to give it to him!
But...
However, he could calm the conflict of Dao Rhyme power in Little Ling’Er’s body and tell such wonderful stories.
Yet she still wanted to listen.
Fine, fine.
The Empress Dowager struggled for a moment but eventually magnanimously forgave Qin Yu for bumping into her!
Yes, I am truly magnanimous!
Unlike that tyrant who would scold others at the slightest disagreement.
Yes, the wreath can be given to Qin Yu, but not to that tyrant!
"Princess, why don’t we go sit over there?"
Qin Yu pointed to a pavilion not far away.
He could feel that although the Princess’s condition had improved, she was still very weak and shouldn’t be standing for long periods.
If not for fear of being offensive, he even wanted to carry Ling’Er over.
Little Ling’Er nodded gently, quietly staying close to Qin Yu.
It seemed that, as long as she was beside him, even standing, she felt very satisfied.
If...
If only it could always be like this, how great it would be.
That way, the Empress and the Empress Dowager wouldn’t have to worry about her health.
"Hey, Little Yan Yu, why are you still following Qin Yu?" seeing the two walking away, the Empress Dowager curiously looked at Yan Yu.
Yan Yu’s injuries had long recovered and in theory, she should return to her Flame Guard quarters.
After all, in the Empress Dowager’s eyes, Yan Yu’s cultivation wasn’t sufficient and she needed more training.
"Her... Her Majesty commanded me to stay by his side, and become... Dao Companion."
Yan Yu’s cheeks turned slightly red, but she confessed frankly.
This was what sister Yan Zhi told her last night.
After all, between her and Qin Yu, there was already that indescribable... bond.
"What? Dao Companion?"
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she couldn’t help but exclaim, though fortunately, Qin Yu and Little Ling’Er hadn’t noticed, so she lowered her voice, her eyes full of disbelief, "Just because Qin Yu healed your injuries, the Empress wants you to be his Dao Companion?!"
Yan Yu thought for a moment, indeed through the method of propagation, the injuries were healed.
It seems, precisely because of this matter, sister Yan Zhi almost never inquired about Qin Yu anymore nor asked about the recovery of her injuries.
