Chapter 29: Conscience exists, but not much

Yun Qin didn't expect Xin'er to come out so quickly, and she was dragged out by Xu An.

As soon as she saw her, Xin'er immediately grabbed her arm, with tears in her eyes and a look of panic on her face.

Yun Qin pushed her arm away and let her stand on her own. "What's the matter? Talk to me later."

This is the front of the temple, not a place for any fuss.

When the two of them walked to a deserted place, Xin'er choked up and told Yun Qin what had happened in the palace.

Yun Qin touched her nose guiltily, thinking that he was probably angry with her.

"It's okay. The emperor didn't say he would punish you. Maybe he just wanted you to take the snacks in."

After hearing her words, Xin'er gradually calmed down and wiped her eyes and said, "Thank you, sister. I, I..."

I couldn't find my own self for a long time.

"Okay, go back quickly." Yun Qin has a conscience, but not much, especially towards such a two-faced person.

When Huipin saw the two people coming back so quickly, she knew that the matter had not been accomplished. She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the two people, "What happened?"

Mainly looking at Xin'er, waiting for her answer.

Xin'er's knees went weak and she knelt on the ground, tremblingly recounting what had happened before.

"The Emperor did not summon Yunqin, but met you instead?" Huipin's eyes looked murderous.

Xin'er was about to lie on the ground, "I did go to the palace, but the emperor didn't even raise his head. He just told me to put my things down and leave."

"Really?" Huipin looked at Yunqin.

Yun Qin didn't need to lie, "She was only in there for a few breaths before Xu An grabbed her arm and threw her out."

Huipin finally believed it a little and fixed her eyes on Yunqin again. She couldn't figure out what went wrong and why the emperor seemed to dislike her so much?

Seeing her doubts, Yun Qin immediately spoke up, "Your Highness, although the Emperor never saw me, he left all my things behind. I think the Emperor has softened his heart towards you. He didn't see me because he thought I was embarrassed to see you, and seeing me would give people something to blame."

When Huipin heard this, her eyes immediately turned, but she was no longer ecstatic like before when she heard such words, but just said "hmm" lightly.

It was originally said to fool her, and Yun Qin didn't care whether she believed it or not, as long as she could shake her mind of using herself to compete for favor.

Huipin glanced at Xin'er who was kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "Useless thing!"

Yun Qin knew who he was scolding, but she lowered her eyes and pretended not to hear.

Xin'er trembled even more violently, and kept saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Get out of here!"

After getting angry, Huipin's face became much uglier. Yunqin saw something was wrong and said quickly, "Your Majesty, don't get angry and hurt yourself. I'll help you to rest."

Huipin might be really feeling unwell, so she didn't refuse and took Yunqin's hand to go to the big bed in the small room.

Not long after lying down, Huipin fell asleep. Seeing that she was asleep, Yunqin lowered the bed curtain and left the inner hall.

Rong Xin happened to come over, and the two of them talked outside the gauze partition.

Knowing that she had dealt with it today, Rong Xin breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Go change your clothes first, so that the queen won't be unhappy when she wakes up. I'll stay here."

Yunqin knew that what she said was true and did not refuse. As soon as she walked out of the palace gate, she ran into Xiao Dezi again.

"The queen has already fallen asleep. If you have anything to do, come back later."

Although the two had not spoken to each other alone since the last time, they were both close to Rong Xin and had no enmity with each other.

Xiao Dezi pursed his lips and whispered, "I'm here to look for Sister Yunqin."

"Looking for me?" Yun Qin said nothing. After looking around and seeing no one, she walked to the corner and asked, "What's the matter?"

She was a little confused. Xiao Dezi was also a smart man. She had explained it so clearly last time, so he shouldn't mention the previous incident again. So what could happen?

Xiao Dezi didn't waste any words and lowered his voice and said, "I have paid close attention these days. In addition to the one named Xin'er, the queen also asked a little eunuch named Xiao Quanzi to keep an eye on my sister."

"Today, my sister and Xin'er went out, and that little Quanzi also went out with them. I followed them quietly, and sure enough, I saw him following you all the way to Yuqian."

Yun Qin narrowed her eyes slightly, but she was not surprised. It would be strange if Huipin didn't allow people to stare at her. She was probably afraid that she, a chess piece, would escape her control.

"Thank you for telling me. Sister Rong Xin has already sent someone to keep an eye on Xin'er. I'll leave Xiao Quanzi to you." Yun Qin said with a smile.

Xiao Dezi looked up at her suddenly, surprised that she actually told him that there was no conflict between her and Rong Xin, "Sister, do you still believe me?"

Yun Qin was a little amused. "Sister Rong Xin and I are one and the same. She believes in you, so why shouldn't I believe in you? I didn't expect that you would be willing to help me."

"Of course I will help my sister." Xiao Dezi was a little excited. "I, Xiao Dezi is not a good person, but I also know the loyalty of the underworld. Since I said that I will listen to my sister in the future, I will not change. I just misunderstood before and thought that my sister..."

"Chivalry among the Jianghu? This is a new term in the palace." Yun Qin couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Dezi's ears turned red from her laughter. He scratched the back of his head and looked a bit silly, unlike his usual shrewdness. "Yes, I heard it from the old eunuchs' storytelling."

Yun Qin stopped laughing, but there was still a smile in her eyes. When she looked at him like that, Xiao Dezi's face turned even redder and he lowered his head, not daring to look at her again.

"I do have something I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Dezi immediately pricked up his ears.

Yun Qin smiled again, and then asked, "What is Kong Danying from the West Palace doing recently?"

"Kong Danying?" Xiao Dezi was puzzled, but still answered: "She just goes to pay respects to the Empress Dowager every day, and then comes back to embroider clothes and make shoes. I heard that she even made a forehead guard and sent it to the Empress Dowager's palace a few days ago."

"Is there anything wrong?" He asked hurriedly.

Yun Qin then told her about what happened when she met Zi Sang that day, "I always feel that something is a little strange. Please help me keep an eye on the West Palace these days. Don't let them try to do anything to Rong Zhi."

"Sister doesn't care whether she lives or dies." Xiao Dezi also hated Rongzhi very much.

Yun Qin frowned and said, "I don't want to care about what happens to her, but if someone wants to kill her, she can't die in our palace. Afterwards, the emperor suspects that it was the queen who did it, and we can't produce evidence, what should we do? If the queen is demoted, what future do you and I have!"

As soon as she said this, Yun Qin was shocked at her own coldness. What could she do? In the palace, it was a matter of life and death, and she could only protect those few people!

However, Xiao Dezi didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. Instead, he admired her intelligence and alertness.

With a gloomy face, he said seriously, "Don't worry, sister. I will keep an eye on the West Palace. If they make any movement, I will notify you immediately."

"Thank you for your hard work. If you can't find me, go and tell Sister Rong Xin. Don't delay." Yun Qin suppressed the chill in her heart and gave another reminder.

She also doesn't know when things will break out. If it happens during the days when she is away, she must not delay it.

"I save it."
