Chapter 17 Huipin is under house arrest, people are restless

Yu came to announce the decree, and all the palace people had to wait for it in front of the hall.

Yunqin and Ajing hurried over, but found that the eunuch who announced the decree had already walked out of the hall.

Just as he was wondering, he saw Huipin chasing out from the palace, shouting, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, the emperor won't treat me like this, I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor!"

What happened?

Yunqin pulled Ajing to salute, feeling surprised and hesitant.

The eunuch who announced the decree led a group of people and did not stop in the face of Huipin's shouting. He walked out of the palace gate and turned around and shouted to the people around him: "Close the palace gate!"

Huipin watched the vermilion palace gate slowly closing.

"No!" she screamed, her legs went limp, and she collapsed in front of the hall door.

Rong Xin quickly supported her, "My Lady, the ground is cold, please get up quickly!"

The palace maids, who were already in a panic, became even more confused and rushed forward to support Huipin.

Yun Qin also followed forward, but did not squeeze into the crowd.

Huipin was pulled up, and almost leaned on Rong Xin. She looked at the palace door closing completely, suddenly pushed Rong Xin away, stood up, and shouted angrily.

"It's Rongzhi, that bitch. The emperor actually punished me because of her! It's all because of her! Drag her over to me, quickly!"

Rong Xin quickly held her arm and raised her voice, "Your Majesty, don't you understand? The emperor is not punishing you because of Rong Zhi's injury, but because you hurt her! If you want to take action again, will the emperor let you off easily?"

Huipin always only listened to what she wanted to hear, but she could not ignore Rong Xin's words.

She turned her head and looked at Rong Xin fiercely, but after staring at her for a while, she suddenly softened.

Fortunately, Rong Xin was quick to catch her.

"My lady, please take care of yourself."

Huipin leaned in her arms, already sobbing, "Why, why do you treat me like this? I'm just a servant, just a servant!"

After hearing this, the palace people around her fell silent.

"It's cold outside, your Majesty, please go into the palace first."

The crowd surrounded Huipin and entered the main hall, but Yunqin did not follow.

Xiao Dezi, who was standing behind the crowd, glanced at her, then slowly stepped out of the crowd and walked to Yun Qin's side.

Yun Qin didn't look at him, but walked towards the back of the hall.

Xiao Dezi followed her silently and followed her into the room.

He first repeated the emperor's order, "It said that Concubine Hui should rest and recuperate, but it was actually a house arrest."

Yun Qin was a little dazed as she listened to Xiao Dezi's words.

I was surprised that the emperor acted so quickly, but also so harshly. It was not a beating or a reprimand, but actually house arrest, which lasted for three months.

Huipin can now rest assured and take care of her baby.

Yun Qin waved his hands at Xiao Dezi and said in a hoarse voice, "I know everything. Go back now. Be careful not to let others see you."

"Don't worry, sister. It's such a mess out there, and everyone is here with the Empress. Who would care about a little eunuch like me?" Xiao Dezi responded, and then complimented Yunqin, "Sister, this move is really powerful. It's a bloodless move. It has alienated Huipin and Rongzhi, and also made her lose favor from now on."

Yun Qin raised an eyebrow when he heard this. Did he think that Ah Jing let the secret slip today because of her instructions?

She, Ajing and Rongxin are one and the same. There is no difference between what Ajing said and what she said.

But Yunqin would not take the blame for this. "This matter is not a secret. Who knows if there is an emperor's spy in Chunxi Palace who brought this matter to the emperor?"

"That's possible." Xiao Dezi knew that she was being cautious, so he just agreed and didn't continue the topic.

He glanced at Yunqin again and lowered his voice deliberately, "Sister, is it time to recover from this illness?"

These suggestive words made Yun Qin's eyes darken. It turned out that he was waiting for her here.

The corners of her lips curled up into a sneer, "Are you afraid that if the queen is confined to her house and the emperor doesn't come, she will forget about me?"

Xiao Dezi smiled and said, "How could that be? Doctor Zhang Yu came to see my sister today. It shows that the emperor still cares about my sister."

Yun Qin's eyes turned slightly, and she asked again: "What if the emperor really forgets me?"

Xiao Dezi's face froze when he heard this. His thoughts were seen through, and he dared not look Yunqin in the eye again, "Sister, please don't joke with me. With your beauty and talent, how could the emperor forget you so quickly?"

"You never know. The emperor might be angry with me if the queen is under house arrest." Yun Qin looked at him, her voice smiling but her tone a little cold, "You should make plans early."

Xiao Dezi glanced at her, then quickly lowered his eyes and laughed, "Sister is joking with me again, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that he was saying one thing but thinking another, Yun Qin was too lazy to play any "little games" with him, and said calmly: "If Your Majesty can give birth to a prince, it is not impossible for your mother to regain the favor because of her status as a son. You should not be too impatient..."

"Sister Rong Xin is now the legitimate head maid of Chunxi Palace. There are still many places where you can be used. With her speaking well of you in front of the Empress, you may even be promoted to the chief eunuch. Don't make the wrong calculation."

Seeing his expression constantly changing, Yun Qin said again: "I have said all. If there is nothing else, you should go and wait for the queen."

Xiao Dezi frowned, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he said nothing. He just responded and left Yunqin's room.

Looking at the closed curtains, Yun Qin slowly sat down on the bed and sighed in her heart.

I hope he can understand what I mean.

Although it was chaotic outside, Yun Qin felt much more peaceful.

What she said just now was her true thought. The emperor's confinement of Huipin might be another sign of his respect for her.

I hope that after this experience, Concubine Hui will be able to face reality, put aside all her admiration for the Emperor, and give birth to the child safely.

She will be better off, Sister Rong Xin will have a promising future, and Yun Qin can also leave with Nanny Ruan without any worries.

Yun Qin was exhausted and the trip made her feel dizzy. She collected her thoughts, lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon after.
