Chapter 189 The Winner



Chapter 189 The Winner

This night, each palace was peaceful yet restless.

Maybe because she was frightened during the day, Yunqin had many dreams at night and was always in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

When I woke up the next day, I didn't remember what I had dreamed about, I just felt extremely tired.

She had nothing to do today and wanted to stay in bed for a while, but then she saw Rong Xin walk in with a look of surprise on her face.

Yun Qin knew something was wrong and immediately stood up:

"What's wrong?"

Rong Xin walked closer and lowered her voice, "This morning, we got news that Su Yue really died in the Ministry of Punishment. It was said that she was killed by a headbutt."

Yun Qin sat up straight, but she was not that surprised.

I just didn't expect Su Yue to die so soon.

She thought it would take some effort. Could it be that Concubine De's hand has already reached so far?

It only takes one night to clean up the mess.

This couldn't help but make Yun Qin feel a little suspicious.

"What did the Emperor say?"

Rong Xin replied, "During these troubled times, Xiao Dezi probably didn't dare to send any news, but the emperor must be very angry. Someone saw Xu An leading people to the Ministry of Punishment in a hurry. I guess he wants to interrogate all the people in the Ministry of Punishment."

"There is one more thing."

Rong Xin whispered, "Yesterday, the Queen Mother came out of Fengyi Palace and went to Tongming Palace. I don't know what they talked about. It took a long time for her to come out."

These words made Yun Qin lower his eyes and ponder for a moment, only then did he realize that he had overlooked something very important.

"The little princess is still with the emperor. The queen mother went there in person. It must be for the little princess's matter."

Rong Xin suddenly realized, "The Queen is not in good health, and Concubine De has to take care of the eldest prince. There is no high-ranking concubine in the palace who is qualified to raise the little princess. Could it be that the Queen Mother wants to raise the little princess by her side?"

"The Queen's illness will eventually heal, and there is no one in the palace who is more suitable than her to raise the little princess."

This is exactly what Yun Qin overlooked.

No matter what happened yesterday, the end result was that the little princess lost her biological mother.

The ownership of the little princess is the greatest interest hidden in all these appearances.

Obviously, the Queen and the Queen Mother are the biggest winners.

So, was Concubine De really responsible for Lady Liu's death?

Yun Qin felt a chill in her heart. No wonder it was Su Yue in her palace, and no wonder Su Yue died so quickly.

If it was the Queen Mother, then everything would make sense.

In addition to being poisoned by cinnabar, Lady Liu was also poisoned by phoenix fairy flower. The cinnabar was made by Su Yiyan, but the culprit for the phoenix fairy flower poison has never been found out.

Yunqin couldn't help but suspect that this was also done by the Queen Mother.

But Yun Qin later rejected this idea, because if it was done by the Queen Mother, her target was the child, but the person who poisoned the Phoenix Fairy Flower obviously wanted to kill Concubine Liu.

No matter what, Miss Liu has been plotted against to death since she became pregnant!

Thinking of this, Yun Qin grabbed Rong Xin's hand.

"Go and call Dr. Zhang Yu over."

Rong Xin was startled. "What's wrong with you?"

Yun Qin steadied her voice and said, "I'm fine. I just want to ask Doctor Zhang Yu something. Sister, just ask him to come over. I'll explain it to you later."

"I'll be right there."

After Rong Xin left, Tingchun came in and helped Yunqin get up.

"Is Danxue okay?" Yun Qin asked.

When Yunqin asked, Tingchun immediately said, "Danxue has been crying since she came back yesterday. She felt that she had let down her master and that she was too ashamed to see her master, so she didn't come."

"What does yesterday's incident have to do with her? If Su Yue wants to harm me, there are a hundred ways. How can I prevent them all?"

Yun Qin smiled at her and said, "Tell her what I said. If she really feels sorry for me, she should do her job well and be more careful in the future."

"I knew that my master was the kindest and most tolerant person and would not blame her." Tingchun was very happy for Danxue and two dimples appeared on his cheeks.

"Master, I think Tingchun is right." Yun Qin nodded and smiled.

"Tingchun also thinks the master is right."

While the two were laughing, Rong Xin came over with Doctor Zhang Yu.

Yunqin asked someone to give Doctor Zhang Yu a seat, and then said to Tingchun, "Go check on Danxue, and see what breakfast the kitchen has prepared."

"yes."

Seeing that Yunqin had left only Rongxin in the hall, Doctor Zhang Yu became more serious and asked:

"Xi Danying, are you feeling unwell?"

Yun Qin held the handkerchief in her hand and said to Doctor Zhang Yu, "I don't feel particularly uncomfortable, but I just feel a little uneasy."

Knowing what happened yesterday, Doctor Zhang Yu was not surprised. He took Yun Qin's pulse first, and then said, "Deng Ying was frightened. I will put some tranquilizers in Dan Ying's medicine. After two doses, he will be fine."

"Thank you, Doctor Zhang Yu." Yun Qin's brows were tinged with worry, and she whispered, "I am still worried about the tragic condition of Lady Liu yesterday."

She bit her lower lip and said, "I'll tell you, Doctor Zhang Yu, seeing her like this, I can't help but think of myself. Lady Liu was usually so healthy, but she's gone just like that. And I, even when I'm taking medicine, I often feel that I'm running out of energy and lack strength."

"I, I'm really worried. If I get pregnant..."

Having said this, Yun Qin could no longer continue. She frowned slightly, and the worry and fear between her brows could no longer be concealed.

Doctor Zhang Yu was not surprised that she had such concerns, but he just treated her like a sore thumb.

Can……

He sighed in his heart and was filled with sympathy for Yun Qin.

"Don't worry, Xiying, your body is not suitable for pregnancy. You should take good care of yourself."

Not suitable for pregnancy?

Does it mean that it is actually difficult for her to get pregnant now?

Yun Qin's eyes flashed, and she no longer had to rack her brains to think of how to ask Doctor Zhang Yu to prescribe some contraceptive pills for her.

After all, this estimate sounded somewhat shocking to Doctor Yu.

Rong Xin naturally understood what Doctor Zhang Yu meant, and immediately asked nervously, "Doctor Zhang Yu, when can we promise her that she can recover?"

Seeing how nervous she was, Doctor Zhang Yu sighed again, "It will take at least two years."

"Two years?" Rong Xin was surprised.

Yun Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, two years was just right.

By then, the situation in both the former court and the harem should be more stable, and her position will also be secure.

It's much better than the current timing.

After expressing her gratitude, Yun Qin personally sent Doctor Zhang Yu away. Turning around, she saw Rong Xin with a look of anger and worry on her face.

"I still neglected Su Yiyan!" She gritted her teeth when she saw Yun Qin looking at her.

Yun Qin patted her hands and said, "Sister, it's not worth it to be angry because of her. This may not be a bad thing for me."

She pulled Rong Xin to sit down and continued, "Look at the situation in the palace. Su Yiyan had a miscarriage and had a close call with death. Now it's Concubine Liu... I'm even more afraid that I'll be pregnant at this time, so I asked you to call Doctor Zhang Yu to come and ask him to think of a solution."

"Now it's much easier. I don't have to think about how to hide it from the Emperor."

"But, but what if..." Rong Xin held her hand tightly.

Yun Qin patted her hands again, "No one can predict what will happen in the future, sister, don't scare yourself. Besides, do you still not trust Doctor Zhang Yu?"

Hearing this from Doctor Zhang Yu, Rong Xin felt a little relieved.

"Okay, I won't think too much about it." She glanced outside, "Why hasn't Tingchun come yet? You must be hungry too. I'll go to the kitchen to check."

Yun Qin nodded, watched her leave, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she felt a little more worried, the possibility of facing the crisis still made her feel relieved.
