After leaving Qinglong Temple and returning to the mansion, Lu Yanluo's face looked a little solemn.

But before she could think of a solution, Qin Xuelin, who had been waiting in the mansion and was extremely anxious, came to Yun Yayuan.

Qin Xuelin knelt down on the ground as soon as she entered the room. Seeing this, Lu Yanluo hurriedly helped her up and then sighed.

"Second Miss Qin, I know you can't wait any longer, but it's not easy to save the Qin family from Concubine Shu."

Lu Yanluo watched the light in Qin Xuelin's eyes grow dimmer and dimmer, gradually becoming desolate. She suddenly felt sorry for him, but for a moment she was helpless.

"On the way back, I was thinking about how I could help you successfully rescue the Qin family, but I suddenly realized that although the prince was considerate and doting on me, and others respectfully called me the princess, I was only a princess, and Qin was the concubine appointed by His Majesty himself. To me, she is the master. There are many things I want to do, but in this era of clear hierarchy, I can only have the will but not the ability."

As Lu Yanluo spoke, Qin Xuelin couldn't stop the tears in her eyes from flowing down. She cried for a long time before she spoke hoarsely: "I know that I am the one who made things difficult for the prince and princess. I am sorry for you two."

Lu Yanluo couldn't bear it, so she gently hugged him and comforted him, "Don't say that, give me some time, let me think of a way, I believe there will always be a way."

"No." Qin Xuelin slowly raised her head and smiled sadly at Lu Yanluo.

I don’t know when, snowflakes started to fall outside. It’s the beginning of the new year, everything is new, and it’s time for family reunion.

Qin Xuelin's eyes were filled with death. She pushed open the window in front of the door. The cold wind was blowing the ice and snow, but it was not as cold as the coldness in her heart at the moment.

"I want to go to the palace and ask the princess to help me."

Lu Yanluo's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and she flatly refused: "No, what are you talking about? If you enter the palace, there will be many monsters and demons in the palace that you can't guard against. You are so young, entering the palace will be a way to your own death! Besides, the emperor is old, he can be your grandfather, you are ruining yourself!"

Qin Xuelin tilted her head and looked at Lu Yanluo, a warm smile on her lips, and a deep nostalgia in her eyes: "Princess, you really are somewhat similar to my sister."

Lu Yanluo was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qin Xuelin said to herself, "My sister's name is Qin Xueqi. She is three years older than me. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a talented girl. My father said that he would arrange a marriage for my sister in early spring this year. Unfortunately..."

A sigh drifted away with the wind, just like the girl with the bright smile, remaining forever in this cold winter.

"The princess calls me the Second Miss Qin, but in fact, only the people in the mansion call me that. To outsiders, the Qin family only has one legitimate daughter, and that is my sister. And I... am just an ordinary little maid in the Qin mansion."

"you……"

Seeing the surprise in Lu Yanluo's eyes, Qin Xuelin smiled indifferently: "Yes, I am just an illegitimate daughter. Since I was born, I have never been allowed to step out of the Qin family. Daddy is more like a master to me than a father. Although Madam has never treated me harshly, she has never cared about me either."

"In such a big Qin family, I only have a room in the backyard, and I never dare to ask for more. But my sister is different. She is very good to me. She would secretly take me out of the dog hole to play, and let the servants in the house respectfully call me the Second Miss. She really treats me like her own sister, and loves me. She is so kind, but why can't good people be rewarded?"

Qin Xuelin raised her head and said sarcastically, "Since the heaven is blind and lets the evildoer go unpunished, I will personally go to her to avenge her! Since justice is not the answer and power is supreme, then I will be more powerful than her and smash her to pieces!"

Lu Yanluo frowned and held Qin Xuelin's hand, trying to change her mind: "Second Miss, power is not a good thing. Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. You have to think carefully. You can wait for an opportunity to take revenge, but once you step into this palace, you will have no choice. Is it worth it?"

"It's worth it. My sister and I have been together since we were young, inseparable. Now she has been murdered by a villain, and her body is still warm. How can I watch her get away with it?"

Qin Xuelin was very calm, as if she was talking about someone else's business: "I've thought about it. Concubine Shu still needs to rely on the Qin family to support her face, so the more than 100 people in the Qin family will only be temporarily blocked from moving, and there will be no danger. I have always been a maid in the Qin Mansion, and Concubine Shu has never seen me. She will never think that I am a member of the Qin family."

Seeing that Lu Yanluo was still frowning, Qin Xuelin slowly knelt down and said, "Princess, I stopped the carriage of Prince Ye's Mansion halfway because I was forced to do so, and secondly, I knew that the prince and princess were kind-hearted people. In this huge capital, if anyone can help me redress my grievances, it must be you two."

"I am very grateful to the princess for lending a helping hand in times of crisis. As for future matters, if the princess really feels embarrassed, I will leave the palace tomorrow."

Lu Yanluo stared at Qin Xuelin's determined eyes and fell silent. After a while, she slowly spoke: "This matter needs to be considered carefully. Please give me some time. I will discuss it with the prince in the evening. Second Miss, if you take this step, there will be no turning back. I still hope you can be cautious."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Xuelin kowtowed respectfully, stood up and walked out.

Lu Yanluo didn't know why, but she felt disappointed. Until Qin Xuelin stepped out of Yun Yayuan, she expected Qin Xuelin to change her mind, but she insisted on her own way.

When Chu Xuan returned, it was already past dinner time. The emperor was ill, and various forces in the court were at odds, especially the Sixth Prince's lineage.

At the morning court today, three cabinet ministers jointly submitted a memorial requesting a title for the Sixth Prince. I believe that within a few days, the imperial decree to confer the title will be issued.

Seeing that Chu Xuan looked a little tired when he came in, Lu Yanluo knew that a lot of bad things must have happened that day. Although she didn't have the heart to bother him anymore, Qin Xuelin's entry into the palace was a serious matter, so she still told Chu Xuan everything.

Inside the room, the two sat opposite each other. Chu Xuan thought for a moment and spoke: "If Qin Xuelin insists, it's not that we can't help her. Besides, in the harem, Concubine Xian is the most powerful, and Concubine Shu follows Concubine Xian's lead. If Qin Xuelin enters the palace at this time, the situation in the harem will surely change."

How could Lu Yanluo not understand what Chu Xuan said? She was just a beautiful girl, but she had to give herself to an old man just for revenge and was imprisoned in the palace. No matter how she thought about it, she felt it was unbearable.
