Chapter 191 Isolated and helpless

the next day.

Yunqin went to Yukang Palace to pay her respects early in the morning.

In the palace, Concubine De read out in public the imperial edict to confer the title of Yijia Guipin on Concubine Liu.

No one's expression changed. The person was already dead, so what difference did it make even if she was given a title of consort.

Yunqin and Lady Liu had little friendship and they had a feud, so her visit was just a formality.

He lit a stick of incense and then came out.

"Xi agreed."

As soon as Yun Qin stepped out of the hall, someone followed her and called her name in a low voice.

Turning around, Yun Qin saw Shen Danying.

She was wearing a bluish-white skirt today, which made her look less coquettish and more beautiful than usual.

When Yun Qin saw her following her, she suddenly felt helpless.

She could understand Shen Danying's desire to find someone to stick with in the palace, but she was not a suitable candidate.

Her current advantage is that she has no connection with the previous dynasty and is isolated and helpless in the palace.

Perhaps because Huo Jinchi knew about her past with Shen Che, he was somewhat tolerant of her contact with Shen Danying, but he definitely did not want her to get involved with Shen Danying.

"Shen Da Ying." Yun Qin responded politely.

"I heard that Danying called Doctor Yu yesterday, but is she sick?" Shen Danying asked, looking at her slightly pale face.

Yun Qin didn't expect that she actually came to care about her. She felt even more helpless, but her tone softened a bit, "I'm just a little frightened, nothing serious."

Shen Danying knew the reason very well, after all, she had not slept well in the past few nights.

"Xi Daying, please take care of yourself." Shen Daying said with a smile.

However, Yun Qin could see some reluctance in her smile, which seemed to indicate that what happened that day had had a great impact on her.

"Shen Danying is the same." Yun Qin didn't know how to comfort her and could only go along with what she said.

Shen Danying smiled at her again and left before her. It was obvious that he had no intention of chatting.

Are you really just concerned about your own body?

This made Yunqin a little confused, but she didn't feel any malice and didn't take it to heart.

After Lady Liu's funeral, the days passed quickly again.

The year is coming to an end in the blink of an eye.

In addition to being busy preparing New Year's goods and sending New Year's gifts, the most concerning thing for the palace is that the emperor has not entered the harem for half a month.

In the past half month, they have been to Tongming Palace.

The emperor would sometimes meet them, but most of the time he would not. Only Yunqin had never been to see him.

During this time, the Queen's illness recovered and she resumed her morning greetings.

This morning, they paid their respects to the Queen and just sat down.

Someone said with a sad tone: "Empress, it has been a long time, and we can't let the emperor continue to be so sad."

The one who was speaking was He Cainü. When Concubine Liu was in power, she was very close to her and even helped her to ridicule Su Yiyan.

Now he is coming out faster than anyone else.

"The emperor is so good to Xi Ying, why doesn't Xi Ying try to persuade the emperor more?" She glanced at Yun Qin with a reproachful look again.

Yun Qin didn't expect that even though she had been keeping a low profile recently, something would still happen to her.

Following her words, everyone else in the hall also looked at Yun Qin.

"What are you talking about, He Cainu?" Yun Qin glanced at her calmly. "The emperor is sad because of the death of Concubine Yi Jia. He has to take care of the little princess and deal with state affairs. It's hard enough. You don't even know how to be considerate of the emperor, but you always think about yourself."

"I heard that He Cainu has been to Yuqian twice. It's obvious that she is really anxious."

After Yun Qin finished speaking, she used a handkerchief to cover the smile on her lower lip, but the sneer in her tone was not concealed at all, and the sarcasm was even stronger.

These words made everyone in the hall laugh.

He Cainv didn't expect her to be so ruthless, and her face immediately turned red.

"I am also thinking about my sisters."

This statement made everyone laugh again.

Xu Danying was the only one who didn't laugh. In her opinion, although He Cainü was funny, Yun Qin's behavior was even more unpleasant to him.

She snorted and laughed, "Sisters are all free to say whatever they want, but none of them are as stable as Xi Chengying. Even if we put all of us together, we are not as capable as Xi Chengying alone."

Every word is an exaggeration, but in fact it is just a satire on Yun Qin's ability to act and pretend.

Yun Qin laughed, "You are right. If you have the ability, you can persuade the emperor to enter the harem. Why are you being so mean to me here?"

"you……"

"We sisters don't talk much, but Xu Danying gets angry after hearing a few words from you." Yun Qin glanced at her, picked up the tea and took a sip, "If that's the case, Xu Danying should talk to me less in the future, so as to avoid getting angry and causing harm!"

If you can provoke someone but can't support him, you are a waste!

"Xi Danying is really different from before." De Fei smiled and said, "I didn't realize before that Xi Danying is so sharp-tongued."

Yun Qin put down the cup, looked at her, and said with a smile: "I didn't know before that Concubine De also likes to meddle in other people's business."

Seeing that she even criticized Concubine De, everyone's faces were instantly very interesting. Even Shen Danying couldn't help but look at Yunqin's face several times.

Defei herself remained expressionless and was about to speak, but Yunqin spoke first.

"I don't mean anything else. Please don't be angry, Madam Defei."

To deal with green tea, you must take green tea’s path and leave green tea with no way out!

The smile on Concubine De's face faded a little. She smiled at her, picked up the teacup and drank water without saying anything else.

Only the Queen is left...

Yun Qin looked at the Queen on the throne. She said that she had recovered from her illness, but her face was still pale and she looked thinner than before.

Seeing Yun Qin looking at her, she exchanged a glance with Yun Qin calmly.

"Xi Danying is right. You should also be considerate of the emperor. It is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else. It is better to rely on yourself than on others just waiting for others to help you."

No one expected that the Queen would actually speak for Yun Qin.

Even Yun Qin didn't expect this and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

What has provoked the queen?

Facing the shocked or puzzled looks of the crowd, the queen remained indifferent.

She still remembered that He Cainü's first words were directed at her.

"If there's nothing else, let's go." The Queen stood up and, without caring about their expressions, helped Lanying back to the back hall.

Everyone in the hall stood up, bowed and left.

As the weather was cold as it was, outside the Fengyi Palace were parked sedan chairs from various palaces, the most conspicuous of which was the ceremonial procession of Concubine De.

After getting on the ceremonial procession, Concubine De did not leave in a hurry. She looked at Yun Qin not far away, walking past Shen Danying who was trying to talk to her, and got into the sedan chair.

Seeing this, Furong, who was standing nearby, could not help but say in a cold voice: "She is becoming more and more arrogant now, and she doesn't care about anyone anymore."

Concubine De laughed and said, "That's really smart. The more isolated and helpless she is in the palace, the more the emperor will pity her."

"I underestimated her in the past."

"Then, Madam..."

Concubine De lowered the thick curtain and said calmly, "First find out her pulse."

"yes."
