Chapter 52 She Will Help

Xia Yun did not lie to Yun Qin. When she woke up again, she was already in her room.

There was a sufficient fire burning in the room, exuding a warmth that made Yun Qin sweat a little.

As soon as she moved her head, the person sitting beside the bed came to help her.

"Are you awake?"

Yunqin looked up and saw Rong Xin. She looked puzzled and her first reaction was to ask, "Where's Ah Jing?"

She thought Ajing would stay by her side, waiting for her to wake up.

"Ajing is in the front hall, so I'll be the one guarding for a while." Rong Xin smiled at her and whispered, "You must be hungry. The porridge is still simmering. Come on and eat something."

She stood up and took the porridge pot off the charcoal fire. "This was made by Madam Cui and sent over. I saw she added ham and bamboo shoots. She must be feeling guilty for wronging you last time, otherwise why would she be so generous?"

Yun Qin rubbed her sore forehead and asked, "Did I sleep for a long time again?"

"That's right. It's been another day and night." Rong Xin sat on the stool beside the bed. "You need to rest more. You look much better this time than last time."

Yun Qin nodded, still thinking about Ah Jing in her heart, and asked again: "How is Ah Jing? I heard you said that she wanted to leave the palace. She must be sad. Is she in a bad mood?"

"That's right. I'm still angry. I want to find Nanny Ruan and tell her that I won't leave the palace anymore." Rong Xin sighed, her smile a little forced.

Yun Qin was so perceptive that she immediately noticed that her expression was wrong. Although they all felt sad and reluctant, it was a good thing after all that Ajing left the palace. Even if Rong Xin was helpless, she should be happy for her, not worried like she was now.

"What's wrong with Ajing?" she asked immediately.

Rong Xin laughed and said helplessly: "Look at you, you said she is in the main hall, I will replace her later, you eat something first and then we can talk."

As she spoke, she put the spoon to Yunqin's lips.

Yun Qin grabbed her hand and said word by word: "Let me ask you, what happened to Ajing?"

Rong Xin saw her eyes staring at hers intently, and knew she couldn't hide it, so she pursed her lips, but before she opened her mouth, tears fell.

"It was Huipin. Huipin got ahead of me and locked up Ajing."

Yun Qin's expression was blank for a moment, "Huipin, she, she knows everything?"

"No, only Xin'er and another maid were there that day. You were unconscious at the time, Xin'er was called away for questioning, and that soft-headed woman is so frightened that she can't even get out of bed. The other maid is quite clever and is trying to please me, waiting to leave Chunxi Palace with you."

Rong Xin's eyes were filled with coldness. "As for those eunuchs, they all listen to Xiao Dezi, so Huipin doesn't know what happened in those days."

"But she will find out one day." Yun Qin looked at Rong Xin with gloomy eyes and asked, "Who is guarding Ah Jing?"

"You were sick, so I was always distracted. She probably felt that she had lost her child and her heart, so I had a different opinion of her. She even asked the empress for a few palace maids and eunuchs on the pretext that you were sick and the palace was short-staffed. Now they are holding Jing captive."

Rong Xin gritted her teeth as she spoke, "After all, they were sent by the Queen. We didn't dare to cause any trouble with them. We just watched them and didn't allow them to enter the palace. Ah Jing couldn't interfere..."

Yun Qin listened calmly, then held onto the edge of the bed and tried to get out of bed.

"What are you doing?"

"Change my clothes, I'm going to see Concubine Hui." Yun Qin held Rong Xin's hand, her expression frighteningly calm.

"Yun Qin..."

"Don't worry, she won't do anything to me." Yun Qin said to Rong Xin, "She still needs me and wants to use me to curry favor with her, so she is holding A Jing hostage. As long as I obey her, she won't do anything to A Jing."

"I really need to see the emperor. I have to save Ajing..." She choked up slightly as she spoke, but she regained her composure in an instant, with only her eyes still red.

Rong Xin's eyes instantly turned red when she saw her like this, "Okay, I'll help you go see her."

——

Although Huipin had a miscarriage, her physical condition was much better than Yunqin's. After all, Yunqin was the only one in the water who was fighting for her life, and she had overdrawn all her physical strength, which resulted in a bone-chilling cold.

It was not the time for a falling out. Rong Xin did not help Yun Qin into the palace, but kept a distance from her and still pretended to be at odds in front of Huipin.

Seeing Yunqin coming over, Huipin didn't look too surprised, she just said lightly: "You came pretty quickly?"

Yun Qin pretended not to hear and bowed to her unsteadily, "Your servant greets the queen."

Seeing her so weak, Huipin naturally remembered what happened that day. She remembered that it was Yunqin who pulled her out of the water, and she also remembered that she swam all the way to the shore and never abandoned her from beginning to end.

"Yunqin..." Huipin called her name and suddenly choked up. She stretched out her hand to her, wanting to pull her up, but she didn't have much strength.

Yun Qin stood up with the help of her hand, and was pulled to the bed and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Yunqin, that's my child too. I'm so sad, but the emperor doesn't want to see me again. He has a really cruel heart. Only you, only you are truly good to me." She held Yunqin's hand and cried very sadly and sincerely.

Yun Qin just watched coldly, without even saying a word, just waiting for her to speak.

She pointed at Rong Xin and said in hatred, "And her! The slave bullies the master. She has long stopped listening to me. We were all fooled by her daily appearance!"

Huipin seemed not to notice Yunqin's abnormality and continued, "So, I have nothing now, only you. Yunqin, you will definitely help me, right?"

"How can I help?" Yun Qin's tone remained calm.

Huipin smiled nervously, "You, go make some snacks and bring them to Yu. Just say, just say that you did it, just say that you risked your life to save me. The emperor likes people who value friendship and loyalty."

"So your Majesty knows what kind of people the Emperor likes." Yun Qin looked at her sarcastically.

Huipin seemed oblivious to this, and she just held Yunqin's hand tightly, leaving blood marks on her wrist. "Yunqin, you are the only one who treats me the best, you will definitely help me, right?"

"Yes, of course I will help you, Your Majesty." Yun Qin sneered.

Just because I'm nice to her, can she use me and exploit me without any bottom line?

She would help, and add more bricks and tiles to her road to self-destruction!

Huipin kept nodding, her pupils dilated unnaturally, "Then you should get better soon, and go to Yuqian when you get better." She seemed to suddenly remember, "Yes, don't worry, Ah Jing, I will have someone take good care of her."

Yun Qin immediately clenched her hands, bit her back teeth to prevent herself from showing hatred, and just nodded at her.
