Chapter 319 Clearing the Record

After a day of spreading, the rumor about the Empress Dowager became known to almost everyone in the palace by evening.

After the queen returned to her bedroom, she stayed with Zhaoning and took another nap in the afternoon.

Instead, it was the last group of people who found out.

After hearing the news brought by Lanying, the queen was distracted for a moment, and the teacup in her hand fell directly to the ground.

Lan Ying asked hurriedly, "Madam, are you okay?"

The Queen did not respond to her question. All that echoed in her mind was the Queen Mother's hysterical roar that day, which meant that she wanted to dig out Concubine Li's body.

The rumors specifically mentioned Concubine Li's name. Could it be that these rumors are true? Were Concubine Huo and Concubine Jing also killed by the Queen Mother?

Just thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but feel cold all over, and her body was shaking a little.

Lan Ying quickly supported her and said, "Your Majesty, please stop asking me to do this. Please say something!"

The queen didn't know whether she heard her shout or not, and suddenly grabbed her wrist, her voice harsh and cold, "Let's go to Ci'an Palace now, I absolutely cannot have anything to do with Zhou Quan!"

If this is true, the Queen Mother is not just useless, it is possible that she and the entire Fang family will be implicated.

"Don't worry, Madam." Lan Ying supported her and shouted outside, "Someone, help Madam change her clothes!"

——

By the time Yunqin received the news, it was already the next day.

It was said that the "miracle doctor" sent by the Fang family was disrespectful to the empress and was driven out of the palace by her. For this, the empress dowager seemed to be furious and fainted once out of anger.

After Yunqin finished listening, she placed another chess piece on the chessboard and asked, "Is everything alright?"

"No, Jiang Yuanzheng has been in Ci'an Hall the whole time. I heard that he woke up after a few injections." Tingchun replied.

Yun Qin's eyes were still fixed on the chessboard, and she curled her lips when she heard this.

That's a pity.

"After all, he was sent by the Fang family. He actually dared to be rude to the Queen. He is really outrageous." Tingchun said again.

Seeing that Yun Qin didn't say anything, Rong Xin said to her, "You said that Zhou Quan was sent by the Fang family. Even if he was very brave, how could he dare to be rude to the queen?"

"You mean, this is simply nonsense?" Tingchun was surprised.

Rong Xin did not answer, and asked again: "Think about what happened recently?"

Tingchun thought for a moment and his eyes flickered, "Could it be related to the rumors about the Queen Mother?"

Then, she was surprised and asked, "Does the Queen think the rumors are true? Is she trying to remove the Fang family from this matter?"

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She continued, "The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother's favorite, so she must know the most. With her actions, could it be that what is being said outside is true?"

Tingchun asked several questions in succession, but in fact she didn't need anyone to answer them, as she had already made a judgment in her heart.

After setting up the chessboard, Yun Qin finally put down the chess record in her hand and said to Ting Chun, "Just say these words in front of me. Don't mention them again after we leave this room."

"Master is right. This has nothing to do with us. Just wait for the result and don't give others a chance to criticize you by saying too much." Rong Xin also said.

Tingchun stuck out her tongue and said immediately, "Don't worry, I won't say a word when we go out."

Yun Qin smiled and asked, "Do you know where the emperor is now?"

"After the Empress Dowager woke up, the Emperor returned to the Qinzheng Palace." Tingchun replied.

Yun Qin nodded and said to her, "Then let me change my clothes and then we will go to the front of the palace to see what the emperor has to say."

"yes."

——

As soon as he saw Yun Qin, Xu An's face immediately broke into a smile, "Which gust of wind brought Concubine Xi here?"

"Eunuch, you are getting better and better at talking." Yun Qin asked him with a half-smile, "Is the emperor unhappy again?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Xu An immediately showed a sad look on his face and said:

"The Emperor is a man of few words, and now he speaks even less. Although he doesn't make things difficult for us servants, I feel bad seeing him looking so unhappy. In this palace, only Your Majesty can make the Emperor happy."

Yun Qin glanced into the hall and said to him, "Please inform the eunuch."

"Hey, I'll go right away."

Xu An walked out not long after he entered, with a smile on his face: "The Emperor wants you to go in."

Yunqin nodded and said to Tingchun, "Don't forget to leave a portion of the snacks you brought for Eunuch Xu."

"Oh, you are still thinking about me. I am in for a treat today." Eunuch Xu smiled immediately.

"It's not a rare thing, as long as you don't mind it, father-in-law."

"Everyone knows that the snacks in Her Majesty's palace are the best and the Emperor loves them the most. I am so happy to have a portion, how dare I refuse." Eunuch Xu waved his hands hurriedly again.

Yun Qin smiled and said, "You are too polite, sir. I will go see the emperor first."

"You're welcome."

After entering the hall, Yun Qin did not see Huo Jinchi behind the desk at first glance.

It's strange, this crazy person who is obsessed with reviewing memorials is not reviewing any memorials?

"What are you doing peeking around?" Hawking's voice came from the other side.

Yun Qin turned around and saw him standing next to the bookshelf with a few books in his hands.

"Your Majesty's sudden voice really scared me." She was not scared at all, but she stroked her chest with her hand, looking scared.

Today, Luck wore a lake blue palace dress. She still didn't like to wear pearls and jade. She simply pinned a lifelike lotus hairpin on her head and jade pendants on her ears. Her outfit was fresh and natural, making her look even more beautiful and elegant than a lotus just out of water!

Even with this artificial look of touching his chest, he seems more lovable than others and doesn't look disgusting.

"You come to me to perform an act?" Huo Jinchi snorted and exposed him mercilessly.

Is there any truth in Xu An's mouth? It's not that he rarely speaks, he obviously talks a lot, and his little mouth is as if it were poisoned!

Yun Qin put down her hand that was touching her chest and snorted, "In the eyes of the emperor, I am just acting anyway."

She put the food box in her hand on the table beside her, "It's a pity that I knew that the emperor was in a bad mood and made snacks by myself!"

Hearing this, Huo Jinchi raised his eyebrows slightly and opened the lid of the lunch box. "Did you make this yourself?"

Seeing that he seemed very interested, Yun Qin felt guilty for a moment. She spent the whole day on the chessboard and had no time to make snacks.

But she thought that Huo Jinchi had never eaten the snacks she made, and the cook made the snacks according to her recipes, so he might not be able to taste the difference, so she nodded.

"Yes, I made it myself."

Huo Jinchi's brows visibly relaxed a little, and he immediately picked up a piece of date paste cake and took a bite. But as soon as he put it in his mouth, he knew that he had been fooled by this little liar again.

He may not have the taste of a gourmet, but he has a memory far beyond that of an ordinary person. This is not the taste in his memory at all.

Huo Jinchi swallowed the snack in his mouth and looked at her with a half-smile, "Did you really do this?"

Looking at his expression, Yun Qin realized that it wouldn't happen. Could it be that he really figured it out?

But the words had already been said, so she could only admit it, "Yes, Your Majesty, does it taste bad?"

Huo Jinchi did not answer, but put the snack back, turned around, and put the books in his hand back on the bookshelf.

Yun Qin had just seen it all. It was a travelogue that she had never read. He was clearly planning to give it to her, so why did he suddenly put it back?

He could actually taste that it wasn't her who did it. What tongue!
