Chapter 343 Attacking the Heart

In Yanning Palace, the palace gate has been opened, and palace maids are walking around in it. Compared to the solemn atmosphere just now, they are all smiling and have returned to their previous happy mood.

This is not what some people expected. Some people are looking forward to something happening here.

Unfortunately, until the news of the emperor's departure came, no further news was received.

"Does the Emperor really tolerate her to this extent?" Defei was a little upset.

She took such a risk just to see Yun Qin's breakdown. Didn't the emperor like her? How could he still like her when he saw her hysterical look?

But the final result was the opposite of what she wanted to see. Why, why did the emperor like this woman so much?

Jealousy is like a cat, scratching at her heart, making her feel painful and itchy. She just wants to let others taste this feeling!

Defei clenched her hands tightly, and her long nails left bloody marks on her palms.

Even though she was extremely worried, she had to calm herself down. She asked the maid beside her, "Have the people from the hospital been sent away?"

"Your Majesty, I have already resigned and prepared to return home. My home is in the west, where bandits are rampant recently, so it is normal for a few people to die." The palace maid said indifferently.

Concubine De nodded, "That's good. Move quickly and don't leave any handle behind."

"Don't worry, ma'am."

Three days later, while Concubine De was still busy cleaning up the mess, Yunqin was finally going to meet Kong.

Kong was taken out of the private prison early and sent to a remote ear room.

After being locked up for a year and determined to die, she had become very slow to react to the outside world. She was almost in a state of being manipulated by others. She had no reaction to being brought here.

She was tied tightly to the stool with strips of cloth, leaving no room for her hands and feet to move.

It was not until the door of the ear room creaked and the light from outside hit her drooping head that she finally reacted a little. She raised her head slightly, like someone who had not seen the sun for a long time and subconsciously longed for it.

She raised her gray eyes and saw a slender figure walking towards her in the light.

As the door closed and the sunlight faded, she could see who was coming.

"You?" Kong's voice was slightly surprised, and a short sound of surprise uttered in her hoarse voice.

The person who came was Yun Qin. She was also surprised when she saw Kong, who was so skinny and had exposed skin without a single bit of skin left.

I always heard that she wanted to die, but when I saw her miserable condition, Yun Qin finally understood what these four words meant.

"Ms. Kong, long time no see." Yun Qin said in a faint voice.

Kong glanced at her slowly, and saw that she was dressed well. A hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, "You seem to be living a good life..."

Since she entered the palace, she didn't know much about the outside world, but she still remembered that after Su Yiyan came out of the water, the emperor took off his clothes and put them on the maid himself.

Even though she was dressed like this, the emperor still took the trouble to arrange for her to meet him, which shows how favored she is now.

This caused ripples to appear in Kong's stagnant heart.

"Thanks to you, and the person behind you." Yun Qin also sneered.

Kong paused for a moment, then laughed hoarsely, "Why, are you seeking revenge on me now?"

"I'm afraid I can't let you have your way." Yun Qin chuckled and sat on the couch opposite him. She tilted her head slightly and looked at her carefully. "You look so pitiful."

These words seemed to have touched Kong's nerves. Her expression became more vivid, and she roared angrily, "You don't need to pity me."

Yun Qin snorted and laughed, "What can you do to me? The loser will be laughed at by the winner, right? You don't have to worry. I will send another person in soon to keep you company. When the time comes, I will laugh at her as well."

"Arrogant!" Kong Cainv spat out these two words viciously.

Yun Qin sneered again and looked at her, "Do you think I don't know what you rely on?"

Without waiting for Kong to speak, she sneered again, "Don't be in a hurry to express your opinion. Let me tell you an interesting story first."

Kong's expression clearly showed that she didn't want to listen. She was about to make a few sarcastic remarks when she heard Yun Qin say, "The eldest prince has now moved to the prince's residence."

Upon hearing the eldest prince's voice, Kong swallowed back all the words that she had not yet said. Although she tried her best to restrain herself, her eyes became more focused when she looked at Yun Qin.

She was first imprisoned in the imperial palace and then in a private prison. There was no chance for her to hear any news about the eldest prince.

Although Kong was unwilling to say anything, it was so obvious from her expression that it was no wonder that Huo Jinchi had already made up his mind.

Yun Qin continued calmly, "This summer, the emperor took the eldest prince with him to teach him, so they went to the palace together to escape the heat this summer."

After saying this, she paused and looked deliberately at the expression on Kong's face.

Apparently she was prepared, and this time there was no obvious reaction on her face.

Yun Qin was not disappointed and continued, "What's strange is that an old nanny suddenly appeared beside the eldest prince. The first time I saw her from a distance, she actually broke the rope on the eldest prince's shoulder strap in order to talk to him."

"Do you know what she said to the eldest prince?"

There was still a numb look on Kong's face, but Yun Qin saw that her throat moved and she was obviously a little nervous about this topic.

She curled her lips slightly and continued, "It seems you don't want to know." Without waiting for her to show any expression, she continued coldly, "But I just want to tell you."

During this ups and downs, the expression on Kong's face finally changed and was no longer numb.

Yun Qin noticed her changes and continued to attack her, "Then the old nanny asked the eldest prince, do you still remember your mother..."

Before Kong could react, Yun Qin took a deep breath and rubbed her arms. "It's really scary. Concubine De was staying in the palace at that time. Who is this old lady? She asked such a scary question."

Her tone was relaxed, as if she was sharing gossip with someone.

Although the emperor had sent people to ask her, he was more straightforward and only asked her about what happened on the night the eldest prince was born and whether the person behind her was Concubine De. He was not like her, who was so eloquent and detailed.

Kong was so absorbed in her words that she had unknowingly fallen into her rhythm.

"And then?" These words almost came out of her mouth. As soon as she said it, Kong regretted it and couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Yun Qin smiled softly, "Sure enough, you would be interested in such a bizarre thing."
