Chapter 314 There's Something to See

In late summer, the weather is still hot and muggy.

Compared to other places, Anlan Pavilion was cooler, but it was still hot. An ice basin was placed in the hall, which still provided a slight coolness.

Yun Qin leaned against the pillow, holding the storybook in her hand, but her eyes were drifting somewhere else.

With the Queen Mother's death, many things will change, and the first to be affected is the Fang family of the previous dynasty.

I don't know how anxious they are now.

No wonder Huo Jinchi was in such a hurry to go to the Qinzheng Hall. The table was probably already filled with the memorials from the Fang family wishing to enter the palace.

How will they react once they confirm the Queen Mother’s condition?

Is the political situation going to be in chaos again?

Although the former dynasty was involved with the harem, it did not have much to do with Yunqin.

What she cared more about was the emperor's attitude towards the matter, which was what really concerned her.

Now that the Queen Mother is paralyzed, will Huo Jinchi soften his heart and forget that he had asked her to stay in the palace before and allow her to enter the palace again?

She was just paralyzed, not dead.

Even if she had lost control of the former dynasty, the harem was still a huge mountain standing in front of her, and it would still be easy for her to stir up trouble.

It would be easy to kill her.

Yun Qin unconsciously clenched the book in her hand, and there was a chill in her eyes.

She counted the people she could use now, and only Shen Yan could be counted as a chip...

However, we cannot act too hastily. We should test Hawking Chi's attitude first.

Thinking of this, Yun Qin gathered her thoughts and decided not to think too much about things that were still uncertain.

She lowered her eyes and glanced at the storybook in her hand, and saw that the young lady of the Duke's Mansion was meeting her lover at night. The two of them were so romantic under the moonlight.

Her eyes lingered on the affectionate conversation between the two for a moment, and Yun Qin suddenly laughed out loud.

She doesn't have all the thoughts of a little girl, she is just full of conspiracy and schemes.

The two people, Wang Xueyan and Hawking, are probably each other's disaster.

——

Yunqin didn't go out for the next few days.

The rumors in the palace were dispelled.

First, the Queen was furious and punished a group of people. Later, Hawking Chi increased the intensity of the search. Now, the palace is in a state of panic and no one dares to say anything.

The Empress Dowager's condition has not improved. I heard that the Fang family sent in a miracle doctor to treat the Empress Dowager, who is now in the palace, but there is no news about whether he has achieved any success.

Paralysis can indeed be recovered somewhat, and the Fang family holds this view and has not given up hope yet.

As for the identity of the eunuch...

"Master, the eunuch's name is Wang Huiquan. I heard from his subordinates that he is an old man in the palace. He was assigned to the palace when he was young and has been working there ever since. Now he is the chief steward of Haiyan Palace, in charge of all matters."

Xiao Shunzi inquired for a few days and finally got the exact news today, and came to report to Yunqin.

"I haven't heard that he knows any martial arts?" Yun Qin asked.

Xiao Shunzi shook his head, "No. I have met the old lady supervisor before, but I didn't see anything special about him. He can even fight?"

Yun Qin didn't answer, but just said: "Well done, go down and get your reward."

"Hehe, I'm not doing this for money." Xiao Shunzi scratched the back of his head.

As soon as Yun Qin saw his expression, she understood what he was thinking, "Let Dan Xue find you two more bottles of good wine, is that ok?"

"My master is wise. I thank you for your kindness!" Xiao Shunzi was immediately overjoyed.

After he left, Rong Xin shook her head and said, "Master is too used to them."

"I know even if he doesn't say it. He asked for the drinks to smooth things over. I guess they all went into other people's stomachs." Yun Qin smiled. "He works for me. I can't just not give him such a convenience."

"I'm not as thoughtful as you think." Rong Xin said with a smile.

"Don't say that. In this palace, you still have to rely on your sister for everything. I'm just a hands-off manager." Yun Qin hugged her arms.

Rong Xin tapped her nose and said, "Just give me some magic potion!"

Yun Qin giggled when she heard this.

"Aren't you going to tell me why you are investigating this eunuch?" Rong Xin looked down at her again and asked.

Yun Qin let go of her arm, still feeling a little hesitant.

She had not expected that the eunuch's identity was so clean. No wonder Prince Rui was able to keep his footing even though he had suffered a "mental shock" that day.

He was confident that even if the emperor had suspicions, he might not be able to trace it back to him.

If you really can't find anything in the end, it's okay to say it.

So after some hesitation, Yun Qin told Rong Xin the whole story.

Including the vicious words the Queen Mother said when she was unconscious.

After hearing this, Rong Xin was naturally shocked. She first walked quickly to the gauze partition, took a look outside, and then turned around and sat back next to Yun Qin.

"How sure are you that this was ordered by Prince Rui?"

Compared to her nervousness, Yun Qin was much more relaxed. She rested her hands on the low table and pointed with her fingers, "100%."

Rong Xin took a deep breath and finally uttered, "Oh my God!"

No wonder she was like this, Yun Qin's words contained too much information.

First, Prince Rui had people dress up as ghosts to scare the Queen Mother into having a stroke. Later, it was revealed that Concubine Li was killed by the Queen Mother. Not only was it hard to believe, but each case involved royal secrets, and the impact was too great.

"I didn't intend to tell you about this. Prince Rui doesn't seem like someone you can easily mess with. He can even reach into the imperial palace. Who knows if he has minions in the palace? The fewer people there are, the safer it is." Yun Qin said, putting away her smile.

Rong Xin also came back to her senses from the shock and nodded, "That's true, this matter ends with me, and no one else can tell it."

Yun Qin also nodded and tapped her fingers on the table. "The last rumor did not achieve its purpose. I don't think Prince Rui or the eunuch will let it go."

“What else do they want to do?”

"Of course it is to expose the fact that the Queen Mother plotted to murder Concubine Li." Yun Qin said in a faint voice.

Rong Xin frowned, "This is a long time ago, and the Queen Mother is the Emperor's biological mother, so she is invaluable. Even if this matter is brought up, can it still be overturned?"

"They probably know how difficult it is to use such means, so they don't want to overturn the verdict openly." Yun Qin sneered, "So what if you are the queen mother? Do you not care about your reputation?"

"You mean, they want to use rumors to force the emperor to surrender?" Rong Xin was shocked.

Yun Qin smiled and glanced at the setting sun outside. "Just wait and see. This will be interesting."
