Chapter 143 The fox's tail is revealed too early

Afterwards, Yunqin left the city defense camp and went to Ajing's residence.

There is a small courtyard with two entrances and a small garden, where Nanny Ruan planted flowers and vegetables.

Ah Jing was extremely happy to see them. The three of them stood together and talked for a while, then they couldn't help but hugged each other and cried.

Yunqin and Rongxin stayed until Huo Jinchi came to pick them up.

Before leaving, Nanny Ruan picked some persimmons from the persimmon tree in the yard and asked them to take them on the road.

Yunqin then told Ah Jing about going to the city defense camp to look for Jiang Yuanzheng, and then she reluctantly got on the carriage.

Seeing that she was not in a particularly good mood, Huo Jinchi teased her deliberately, "Look, Rong Xin is carrying a basket. What's in it? Is there any for me?"

"They are persimmons." Yun Qin glanced at him and pursed her lips. "Madame Ruan picked them for me. There are only a few of them."

Huo Jinchi was immediately amused and stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, "You treat a few persimmons like this, how stingy."

"I don't have much to begin with." Yun Qin grabbed his hand, half crying.

Huo Jinchi lost his temper, let go of her hand, and said helplessly: "I don't want yours anymore."

"Your Majesty must keep his word." Yun Qin tilted her head and looked at him.

She had said that on purpose because Hawking Chi had been so nice to her the entire day that she couldn't help but want to test his bottom line.

But I didn't expect that even though she was so unreasonable and pretentious, Hawking Chi could still tolerate it.

It's really strange.

Yun Qin had also seen him and Su Yiyan getting along. Although he was usually quite tolerant, it had never been to this extent.

But how long can his love of tolerance last?

Seeing that she was staring at him, Huo Jinchi reached out and touched the tip of her nose, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I feel that the emperor is particularly different today." Yun Qin smiled at him.

Hawking liked what he heard, and a smile immediately appeared in his eyes. He asked, "What's the difference?"

"Hmm..." Yun Qin deliberately dragged out the tone and said with a smile: "Extraordinarily wise and brave."

She really wanted to say handsome, but apparently there was no such word yet.

Huo Jinchi raised the corners of his mouth and stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek. "Your mouth is particularly sweet today."

"No, I haven't eaten the persimmons from Ajing's house yet." Yun Qin said deliberately in a serious tone.

Huo Jinchi couldn't help laughing. He lowered his head and pecked the corner of her lips, looking into her bright eyes. "I'll know if it's sweet or not after I taste it."

So, when the carriage arrived outside the palace gate, Yun Qin was carried all the way back to Tongming Palace by Huo Jinchi.

——

The concubines in the harem were shocked and it was hard not to think too much about the fact that the empress was under house arrest and Yun Qin moved into the Tongming Palace right after.

They all thought that what the emperor did was too absurd. Even if there was something wrong with the empress, he should not have confined her to house arrest just for a palace maid.

But now that the Queen Mother is not in the palace, they have no favors and naturally dare not go to the Emperor to say anything. They can only gossip and throw things behind his back.

Some people thought of Concubine De, but she refused to see anyone as usual, so they could only turn to Shen Danying.

What they said was that Yun Qin's original master was Su Yiyan, who was an enemy of Shen Danying. Yun Qin was so loyal before and is now so favored by the emperor. If he really gets the position, he will definitely trample Shen Daning under his feet.

In short, his words were full of provocation.

Shen's response was always indifferent. No matter what they said, he just nodded without showing any fear or resentment, which disappointed all the concubines.

After leaving, I couldn't help but talk about it behind my back.

"Such a softie, no wonder she was bullied by the Sumerians."

However, after they left, Shen Danying in the hall had a cold expression on his face.

"Agree? Look at them. If you don't agree, they will get angry!" Xiangtan couldn't help snorting as he removed the teacups on the table.

Shen Danying also snorted coldly, "Don't worry about them. They can't cause any trouble."

Seeing that she was not angry, Xiangtan also nodded. He paused and sighed, "Yunqin is really lucky."

Shen Daying was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "I knew this day would come. I feel like a stone has finally fallen from my hand."

"Pay attention to the movements in front of the temple. If someone goes there, I will naturally go to the temple to take a look."

"Yes, I promise. I will let people pay attention to it."

No one expected that the first person to go to the front would be the most low-key Concubine De.

Even if she came to ask the Emperor Jiang Yuanzheng whether she could enter the palace for the sake of the eldest prince's affairs.

But it couldn't hide the fact that she was the first person to go to Yu's front after Yun Qin moved into Tongming Palace.

However, when Huo Jinchi took Yun Qin out of the palace, Xu An still used the excuse that the emperor was not seeing anyone today to get away with it.

Concubine De just looked at the main hall and didn't say anything. She only told Xu An to report this matter to the emperor.

Xu An naturally agreed.

After Huo Jinchi came back, Xu An immediately told him about this matter, and that night Huo Jinchi went to the Defei Palace.

When the imperial carriage left, Yun Qin and Rong Xin stood behind the door of the side hall and watched quietly.

Rong Xin couldn't help but say to Yun Qin, "Madam Defei doesn't seem like someone who can't keep her temper, does she?"

"Didn't I say it's for the health of the eldest prince?" Yun Qin said in a calm voice.

"You are pretending to be stupid with me." Rong Xin glanced at her and said with a smile, "If the eldest prince is really ill, how could Concubine De leave so easily after knowing that the emperor doesn't want to see anyone? I guess she would have to see the emperor even if she had to go to the palace."

Yun Qin did not respond to her words, but just smiled faintly, "I would like to meet this poor eldest prince who is always in poor health."

Speaking of the eldest prince, Rong Xin also murmured: "To be honest, I have never seen the eldest prince. It's really strange. The eldest prince is already three years old. He can run and jump. Even if he is weak and sickly, Concubine De shouldn't hide the emperor's eldest son so strictly."

Yun Qin's eyes turned cold, but her voice remained calm, "Don't worry, if it's really a fox, it will reveal its true colors sooner or later."

She was clearly talking about the eldest prince, but she suddenly started talking about something strange, which made Rong Xin confused.

"Are we talking about the same thing?"

Yun Qin was naturally not just talking about the eldest prince, but also about the mastermind behind a series of events including the Su Yi cigarette scandal and the murder of Concubine Liu.

There are only a few people in the harem. Apart from the suspects who are deeply involved, the rest are only these few people, although everyone is a suspect.

However, Concubine De, who had a son, was the most suspected one.

She didn't know whether Huo Jinchi had ever suspected Concubine De, but in her eyes, Concubine De was the number one suspect.

What happened today was enough to prove that she was not as low-key and indifferent to worldly affairs as rumored.

She has already torn off the Empress' skin, so she can also tear off Concubine De's skin!

This was just her suspicion for the time being, so she didn't elaborate with Rong Xin, and only said, "I mean, isn't the Queen Mother's birthday coming up soon? The eldest prince is grown up now, and he should personally wish the Queen Mother a happy birthday at the birthday banquet."

"That's right." Rong Xin nodded. "So, this means we can meet the eldest prince this year?"

Yun Qin nodded. By then she should be "Yun Danying" and would naturally have to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

"Oh, right!" Rong Xin slapped his forehead, "It's the Queen Mother's birthday, you have to prepare a birthday gift too! It's only a little over a month away, what should I do?"
