Chapter 326 "My heart is good?"
The queen looked at Yun Qin, who was dressed in willow green and looked even more beautiful than the roses outside the window.
Thinking of the past conflicts and grudges with her, he said coldly: "Did you come here just to ridicule me?"
Yun Qin looked at her cold face and shook her head, "Your Majesty, why can't you understand? I am afraid and I came to you to hug you."
"I am afraid that Your Majesty will think that I am not sincere. I have a plan to offer to Your Majesty to relieve your worries and fears."
The queen looked at her suspiciously, "What is your purpose?"
"Your Majesty, don't you know that many court officials are kneeling outside the study, all of whom want the emperor to take back his order?"
Yun Qin curled her lips slightly, "Don't you understand who ordered them? Being forced like this, if the emperor gets angry and punishes them, what good will it do to you?"
"If this action causes unrest in the court, instability in the country, and exhaustion for the emperor, what good will it do for the harem?"
"I said I was here to form a group, now your Majesty believes me?"
The queen looked at Yunqin without saying a word, but the anger on her face had faded and her expression was wavering.
Seeing this, Yun Qin continued, "Perhaps, the emperor does not really want to punish the queen mother. When the court officials reach a high enough level, the emperor will 'reluctantly' bring the queen mother back to the palace to appease the court officials' dissatisfaction."
"But is this the result that Your Majesty really wants to see?"
These words struck the Queen's heart, and she couldn't help but ask herself, was the Queen Mother's return to the palace really what she wanted to see?
But the word "no" that came out from the bottom of her heart quickly overshadowed her sympathy for the Queen Mother.
Perhaps people are just so contradictory and hypocritical. On the one hand, she sympathized, but on the other hand, she wanted to applaud.
Seeing that she was still silent, Yun Qin sighed, "It seems that Her Majesty also thinks that the Queen Mother's return to the palace is the best outcome. There is no need for me to tell you about my plan and make you laugh."
She stood up and said, "Then I will take my leave first."
But before she could take a step forward, she heard the queen urgently say, "Wait!"
Yun Qin turned to look at her, waiting for her to speak.
The queen hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "What can you do?"
Although she hated the Fang family, the Fang family was also her foundation, and the emperor was her support and her hope for the rest of her life.
The best outcome, of course, would be to resolve the matter peacefully. It would be even better if the Queen Mother didn't have to return to the palace.
Seeing that the empress was completely shaken, Yun Qin's tense heartstrings relaxed a little and she sat back on the couch.
This time she did not prepare so much, but asked directly: "If the emperor issues an edict of guilt, even the ministers of remonstrance will not be able to accuse the emperor of being unfilial. Even if it is passed down to future generations, it will be a good story."
"What if the Empress Dowager also issues an edict of apology?"
Yun Qin lowered her voice and looked into the Queen's eyes.
As long as the Queen Mother can admit her crimes, the Fang family will no longer be able to make trouble. This crisis will be easily resolved.
And a confession of guilt also destroyed Huo Jinchi's reputation. In the history books, only an emperor who understood the big picture and a queen mother with bad personal ethics would be left.
In this way, the Queen Mother naturally does not have to return to the palace.
The Queen naturally understood this truth, but she blurted out, "Impossible, the Queen Mother will never write a confession of guilt!"
A man who had a stroke and still wanted to dig Concubine Li out of the imperial mausoleum and whip her corpse would probably never admit it even until her death.
"Your Majesty, it is up to you to mediate this matter." Yun Qin said.
After all, she is the niece of the Queen Mother and also the Empress, so only she can do this.
"This madam?" The queen frowned and shook her head, "This madam can't do it. Didn't you say that the queen mother's attitude towards me is no longer the same as before?"
Yun Qin is not omniscient. How could she know the details of the relationship between the Empress and the Queen Mother, and how could she know what to do?
"You'll have to figure this out yourself, Madam."
But she still suggested a direction, "The one that the Queen Mother cares about most, besides the Emperor, must be the Prince's Uncle. You should know more about this than I do."
After hearing her words, the queen fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time.
Seeing her like this, Yun Qin knew that she already had an idea, and she didn't have to worry about what happened next.
So Yun Qin stood up, without saying a word, just bowed to the empress and left the hall.
When the queen came back to her senses, there was no trace of Yun Qin in front of her.
"Empress Xi has left." Lan Ying said from the side.
The queen nodded, looked at the teacup opposite her that was no longer steaming, and became lost in thought again.
"Your Majesty, what Concubine Xi said sounds nice, but can she believe it?" Lan Ying asked hesitantly.
The queen came back to her senses again, picked up the cool tea in front of her and took a sip before saying, "Does this palace have any other choice but to trust her?"
——
After returning to Yanning Palace, Yun Qin told Rong Xin and the others in detail about her conversation with the Queen.
"Your Majesty is too kind-hearted to even think so much about the Empress. If she still doesn't appreciate it, I'll be so angry that I'll die!"
After listening, Tingchun couldn't help but say.
Yun Qin pointed at herself in surprise and asked, "My heart is good?"
She then smiled and shook her head, saying, "I am not trying to end this matter as soon as possible for the sake of the Queen. Am I thinking about myself, your master?"
Few people understood this.
Yun Qin said, "The emperor obviously wants to leave the Fang family alone, and he will not give in easily. With the imperial edict of guilt in front of them, what else can the Fang family do except act like a rogue and make people kneel before him?"
"Then why is the queen so anxious that she asked the queen mother to issue a confession of guilt?" Dan Xue asked.
Yun Qin sneered, "I'm just afraid that the Fang family, this rogue, will play tricks on me."
"Among the charges against the Queen Mother, there is one charge of murdering a concubine. Although it is not stated explicitly, as long as the Fang family investigates, they will definitely find that I am related. Can't you guess that I also contributed to the Queen Mother's imprisonment this time?"
"I, your master, have a good reputation. Whether the Fang family wants to vent their anger or to win over the emperor, they will turn this fire on me."
Yun Qin snorted softly, "I've just had a few days of peace and quiet, I will never let this happen!"
"Master has far-sighted plans." Dan Xue exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she looked at Yun Qin.
Yun Qin raised her eyebrows at her, and her smug look made everyone laugh.
After laughing, Rong Xin was worried, "Can the Queen make the Queen Mother bow her head?"
"It all depends on whether she can be ruthless. As the saying goes: A mother is strong. Although Princess Zhaoning is not the Queen's biological daughter, she cherishes this child so much. For Zhaoning, she will not sit and wait for death."
Yun Qin's eyes were deep. In all these years, is it possible that the Queen had no means to take advantage of the Queen Mother?
The queen looks cold as ice, but perhaps she is the softest person in the palace. Once a soft-hearted person makes up his mind, even the evil ones will be terrified.
