Chapter 123 Self-deception

The carriage stopped after driving for a while.

Yun Qin raised her head slightly and glanced towards the car window. If she heard correctly, it seemed to be the sound of soldiers training.

So they came to the city defense camp?

Seeing her staring at the car window like a vigilant cat, Huo Jinchi couldn't help but gently touch the end of her hair and whispered, "Stay in the car for a while, I'll go take a look and be back soon."

Yun Qin nodded, realizing that her attitude was too casual, and added in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please be careful."

Huo Jinchi pinched her cheek again before getting up and getting off the carriage.

Everyone who received the news ran to the carriage.

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty."

In addition to the commander of the city defense army and Jingzhao Yin, the visitors also included Shen Che and Jiang Yuanzheng.

Yun Qin distinguished the two people's voices and had a general understanding of the purpose of the emperor's visit.

We should strengthen the defense of the city and prevent epidemics among the victims.

This is probably the main purpose of his trip.

Yun Qin curled her lips slightly, but she didn't have too many thoughts in her mind. If Huo Jinchi really came just to see her, she might be even more shocked.

Outside the carriage, Huo Jinchi asked everyone to stand up, "No need to be polite, everyone."

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Yuanzheng was the first to notice the wound on the corner of Huo Jinchi's mouth.

Huo Jinchi pursed his lips slightly, a smile flashed in his eyes, but his voice was emotionless, "I'm angry."

Although he said it lightly, Yun Qin in the carriage felt as if her face was burning. She was the one who was really "angry"!

"Your Majesty must be worried and angry about the disaster victims." Jingzhao Yin immediately complimented.

This made Huo Jinchi laugh, but it made Yun Qin's eyes twitch.

Huo Jinchi didn't say anything, just glanced at the carriage. It was a pity that he didn't see the little maid's expression at that time, which must have been very interesting.

Then, he turned to Xiao Dezi and said, "You stay and take good care of her."

"Yes." Xiao Dezi responded.

At first, several people didn't think about anything else, but now they all secretly glanced at the carriage, and their imaginations ran wild.

I didn't expect that the emperor would be accompanied by a beautiful woman when he traveled. It seems that she has a wild personality.

This included Shen Che, who just glanced and then lowered his eyes.

His sister was in the palace, which made his identity particularly sensitive. He was the one who could not ask or be curious about the emperor's favoritism to other women.

He doesn't ask anything and is really good to his sister.

"Let's go. Let's talk inside." Huo Jinchi didn't care about their reactions and said as he walked inside.

After everyone left, Xiao Dezi approached the car window and asked in a low voice, "Is my sister okay?"

Yun Qin heard the voice and subconsciously wanted to open the car curtain, but then she paused when she thought of her current appearance and said to him through the curtain: "I'm fine, I'm sorry for what I did to you just now."

"I'm glad I could help my sister." Xiao Dezi smiled, then lowered his voice and told Yunqin what the emperor had heard about the conversation between the two.

Yun Qin listened quietly and had a better understanding of the matter. She also knew that Huo Jinchi had actually heard her desire for revenge. No wonder his attitude softened when she mentioned her hatred just now.

It's because I told the truth.

"Thank you for telling me this." Yun Qin thanked him sincerely and added, "You should also pay attention to your own safety. The most important thing is to stand firm on your feet first."

"Xiao Dezi understands." Xiao Dezi smiled, then his face darkened again, and he said coldly, "I know that this time, sister was sent to distribute porridge because it was the Queen's idea behind it, but sister, don't worry. Last night, the Emperor issued an order for the Queen to pray for the Queen Mother's birthday and release a group of so-called idle palace maids in the palace as a warning."

Yun Qin didn't expect Huo Jinchi to do this. Even if she didn't want to admit it, she couldn't deny that he must be unhappy because the Queen was plotting against him.

She subconsciously touched her empty wrist.

The feeling came and went quickly, and Yun Qin immediately thought that although the emperor was talking about all the "idle" palace maids, the queen might not be thinking about herself.

If this is true, she should understand by now that she has been deceived by herself and Hawking Chi.

The expression should be very interesting...

Yun Qin had a sneer on her face and asked Xiao Dezi, "Go and convey the decree."

"I went with my master." Xiao Dezi knew what she wanted to ask, and continued, "The queen was relatively calm at the time, but I later heard that she smashed her favorite inkstone."

Yun Qin sneered when she heard this, "I thought she was really like a stone Buddha and would never get angry."

Xiao Dezi also sneered. What stone Buddha? It was either self-deception or no one had stepped on its sore spot.

His expression became a little grim again. "Sister, I saw Jiang Lihai beside the Queen. He seems to have regained the Queen's trust."

He didn't know what happened exactly at that time, but he knew Jiang Lihai's reputation, and he could also get a glimpse of it from Jiang Lihai's attitude when Rong Xin mentioned him.

Jiang Lihai must have done something outrageous to his sister.

Hearing this name, Yun Qin's expression instantly turned cold, and a hint of sinisterness flashed across her eyes, "She actually dared to use Jiang Lihai."

"Sister, do you want me to expose all the good things he has done in front of the emperor?" Xiao Dezi asked in a low voice.

Yun Qin shook her head slightly, then realized that Xiao Dezi couldn't see it, so she said, "No need, he can act so arrogantly because of his relationship with the emperor. Even if the emperor believes you, I'm afraid he will suspect you of having ulterior motives."

She curled her lips coldly and said, "I'd better do it myself." It just so happened that she was worrying about how to get back in front of everyone, especially the queen.

Jiang Lihai is a very good stepping stone!

"What is sister going to do?" Xiao Dezi asked.

Considering that if he did anything in front of the emperor, it would be easy for Hawking to see through it, so it was best not to tell him. It was safest if he didn't know.

But she still needs someone to help her with this matter.

Yun Qin hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you have anyone you can trust?"

"Yes, there is a young eunuch who followed me in Chunxi Palace. His name is Shunzi. He is now with me in front of the emperor and is quite loyal to me." Xiao Dezi said, "He helped me with several things before. He is trustworthy."

Yun Qin nodded, "Then let him pass on the message for us. You don't need to show up directly on this matter."

Xiao Dezi looked up at the car curtain and felt a little worried, but he also knew that it would be safer for the class if he didn't show up, so he finally agreed, "Okay."

"I don't have a specific plan yet. I'll let him inform you when the time comes."

"Sister, be careful too."

"rest assured."
