Chapter 109 Will You Forget Her?

Although the meals of the masters in the palace were luxurious, the meals of the palace maids were very simple, mostly staple foods with some meat slices. Those who had their own kitchens ate better.

But if you miss the meal time, even if you leave some food, there is no place to heat it up.

Compared to cold and greasy leftovers, snacks were more popular among the palace people. They were not bad when cold and could fill the stomach.

Yun Qin knew that given their current situation in Chunxi Palace, these snacks must have been obtained by Rong Xin with great difficulty.

Even though she had already eaten, Yun Qin did not refuse, but took the snack that was stuffed into her mouth and ate it slowly.

Rong Xin poured her a glass of water, and seeing her puffy cheeks, she smiled softly: "You must be very hungry, drink some water quickly."

Yun Qin nodded, and when she reached out to take the teacup, she remembered the scene outside Yukang Palace.

She took a sip of water before telling him how Su Yiyan wanted to frame Shen Meiren, the series of twists and turns that followed, and how Xiangyun bit Su Yiyan.

Although he did not see that scene, Rong Xin could imagine the scene at that time, and felt a chill in his heart. How much hatred must Xiang Yun have to almost bite off a piece of meat from Su Yiyan's face.

She gritted her teeth and said, "This is her retribution! It's really pitiful for Xiangyun. I hope the emperor can investigate this matter and give her justice."

Yun Qin also sighed.

They were both silent for a moment.

After a while, Yun Qin changed her tone and said, "I originally thought that we could postpone going to the cold palace for two days, but now that she is injured, there must be someone to take care of her. We should go to the cold palace soon."

Rong Xin nodded, "It's okay, then we'll clean up after you finish eating."

While she was saying this, she had already stood up and went to the cupboard to look for her bag and other things.

"Don't worry about anything else, but we have to hide your jewelry well. The maids in the cold palace are not easy to deal with. If they see you, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause."

"We will certainly cut back on food. I'll see if I can ask Xiao Dezi to find us a clay jar so we can make some supplements ourselves."

Yun Qin held up her chin and watched her chattering, and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't it better than what we ate at Chunxi Palace?"

Hearing her say this, Rong Xin couldn't help but smile, "That's right, who made our Ah Qin have such a big family now? When the time comes, no one will be watching. As long as there is money in hand, she can eat whatever she wants."

Yun Qin's smile deepened. "What you said makes me almost impatient to go to the cold palace."

Seeing her smile in the corners of her eyes, as if she had no worries, Rong Xin's smile faded a little. He sat down next to her again and whispered, "I wonder what the emperor is planning?"

Yun Qin naturally understood what she was worried about.

"Sister, are you afraid that the Emperor will really forget about me after I go to the cold palace?"

Rong Xin nodded, worry in her eyes, "The quarrel between the Emperor and the Gong family has been going on for a long time. It's been dragging on like this, and it always makes people feel uneasy."

She lowered her voice, "Besides, there are few concubines in the palace, and now Su Yiyan is gone. I'm afraid that even if the empress dowager is not in a hurry, the court officials will urge the emperor to select a beauty. If you wait until the newcomer enters the palace, wouldn't you..."

Yun Qin hadn't thought about it so much, but now after listening to Rong Xin's words, she actually thought about the possibility of a beauty pageant.

Those who could enter the palace were naturally beauties picked from thousands, and one of them was new. She really had no advantages.

But……

"Even if he really forgets me, what's wrong with that?" Yun Qin lowered her eyes and snorted, "Then I'll just hold on for a while, and it will be better if I can leave the palace when the time comes."

Rong Xin was slightly stunned, then asked: "Are you still willing to leave the palace?" When she was only one step away from power and glory.

"Why wouldn't I be unwilling to do that?" Yun Qin raised her eyes with a hint of smile on her lips. "I've always wondered if the air outside the palace is cleaner than inside. I really want to feel it myself."

This made Rong Xin's nose suddenly sore, and the corners of her lips curled up, "If you really think so, I'm relieved. Let's stay in the cold palace peacefully and let everything take its course."

Seeing that she fully accepted and supported her decision, Yun Qin was moved but also felt sad, and couldn't help but hold her hand.

"It just implicates my sister."

Rong Xin shook his head and stroked her head gently. "That's right. We are a family. There is no need to get involved. I am lucky. Otherwise, if I had met a master like Su Yiyan, I might have died in the Ministry of Punishment by now."

Yun Qin quickly covered her mouth, "What are you talking about?"

"No, no." Rong Xin shook her head. "I am two years older than you. Maybe I will have to leave the palace first. Then, I will stay with Ajing and wait for you to leave the palace. We will definitely be able to live a good life together."

"Sister, are you willing to leave the palace with me?"

Rong Xin had tears in her eyes. She touched her head again and whispered, "I also miss the clean air outside the palace."

These words made Yun Qin not know whether to be happy or sad, and tears were already rolling down her eyes.

"You keep crying and crying." Rong Xin wiped her tears and pushed the snack plate towards her. "You should talk less and eat more snacks."

"It's my sister who made me cry." Yun Qin also stuffed a piece of snack on her, "Sister, you have to eat more too."

"Stinky girl!"

After having a snack, the two began to pack up.

When going to the cold palace, they naturally couldn't bring a lot of luggage. At most, each of them could carry two bags with some clothes and a basket with some daily necessities.

Rong Xin held Yun Qin's jewelry box in her arms, feeling uneasy no matter where she put it. She put it in her bag, then took it out and put it in the basket. After examining it for a while, she felt uneasy again, so she took it out and put it in her bag again to demonstrate.

Yun Qin laughed silently at this.

Hearing her laughter, Rong Xin couldn't help but turned his head and snorted: "You're still laughing, if you lose it, you'll cry!"

Yun Qin laughed, "Sister just said that I have a lot of money around me. Just give some money to the nanny who searched me."

"You are usually so smart, but why are you so stupid in this matter!" Rong Xin poked her forehead and said, "Those maids are all cunning. If they see you being so generous, they will come to you every few days to ask for money. They will not stop until they have robbed you of everything."

Yun Qin shrank her neck upon hearing this, hugged her arm and acted coquettishly, "Yes, yes, sister is naturally smarter than me. If I didn't have sister, what would I do..."

"Stop it, stop it." Rong Xin pushed her head away in disdain. "If you have the time, you should help me think about where to hide this thing!"

The two were arguing when suddenly there were footsteps at the door, followed by someone knocking on it.

Rong Xin immediately turned around, put the jewelry box in the basket, covered it with a cloth, and looked at Yun Qin. "They should take us to the review. You rest in the room first. I'll go first."

After Yun Qin nodded, she continued, "If someone comes to search later, you must stay away. We can clean up after the chaos. Don't let them run into you."

Yun Qin just remembered that she hadn't told her that Shen Che was outside. It was too late to tell her now, so she could only nod quickly again.

After giving the instructions, Rong Xin walked to the door and opened it.

The people standing outside the door were not ordinary imperial guards.

"General Shen?"
