Chapter 65: Sudden Change



Chapter 65: Sudden Change

The next few days were calm.

Although the emperor came to the harem several times, he went to other palaces and never came to see Yunqin again.

Yunqin knew that the Queen Mother was concerned about her, but she was not worried about it. Instead, she felt safe if he didn't come.

This day was Ajing's birthday.

With Nanny Ruan outside and Rong Xin inside, the two arranged for Ah Jing to sneak into Chunxi Palace and celebrate her birthday with them.

Although Yun Qin couldn't do it herself, she still told Madam Kang how to make a cake and asked her to help make a cake.

Ah Jing didn't buy it. "Eggs and milk are both fishy. How can they taste good when put together?"

She looked back and forth at the white mass on the table, her face full of disgust.

"Try it!" Yun Qin said unhappily, "It's good enough to have something to eat, and you dare to be picky. Eat it quickly, or it will collapse in a moment."

Ah Jing wrinkled her nose at her, then reached out to wipe the whipped milk on it and put it in her mouth.

Then her eyes lit up, but she said stiffly, "It's not particularly delicious."

If Yun Qin hadn't been unable to get out of bed, she would have pinched her face.

"Rong Xin, try it." Ah Jing forgot what she had just said and said to Rong Xin, "It's quite delicious."

Yun Qin stopped them, "No, no, you have to make a wish first." As she said that, she also instructed Rong Xin to light a candle next to the cake.

"Make a wish and then blow out the candle."

"Where is this custom from?" Ah Jing felt troubled.

"It's the custom of my hometown. Since you are eating the cake I made, you must follow the customs of our hometown." Yun Qin insisted.

Ah Jing had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, okay."

Facing the bright candlelight, she actually felt some emotion in her heart. She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes for a while, then opened them and blew out the candle.

If Yun Qin wasn't so weak and out of breath, she would have sung a happy birthday song for her.

Embarrassed? No, no, it would only be others who would be embarrassed, not her.

After blowing out the candles, Ajing cut the cake with a knife as Yunqin had instructed.

Yun Qin looked at the cakes on the table and felt very satisfied. In the past, she didn't have the conditions and always felt that celebrating their birthdays was not enough. This time, she finally realized her little wish and also satisfied her little selfish desire.

Her eyes were a little moist. At least, she would have a birthday cake on her birthday from now on.

Ah Jing took a bite of the cake, turned around and saw her eyes were blurred with tears, and immediately shouted: "Don't be like this, I haven't eaten much, don't make me cry."

"Who is crying? I am crying because the candles stung my eyes."

"Who would believe you? You're just a crybaby."

"Nonsense!"

The two were arguing when there was a knock on the door.

Rong Xin opened the door and saw Xiao Dezi standing outside. She immediately smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I know today is Ajing's birthday, so I came to congratulate her." He said, handing over a purse, "I didn't come empty-handed."

"Come in first."

After letting him into the room, Ah Jing took the purse from his hand and asked openly, "What is it?"

"It's the golden leaf that Lady Su gave me before. I can't give anything else, so I can only lend it to you." Xiao Dezi smiled at her, and couldn't help looking at Yunqin, and whispered, "Sister."

He knew his identity and seldom came here often. Even if he came, he would just say hello through Rong Xin. This time, he met Yun Qin face to face.

She was leaning on the piled quilt, her figure was even thinner than before, her face was much thinner and bloodless, and it was obvious that her body was hollowed out.

There was a smile in his eyes, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. He always remembered the appearance of Jin Quan and others in his mind.

"You and Xiao Yunqin really think alike. She also gave me gold." Ajing took out two gold leaves and smiled at the two of them.

Xiao Dezi didn't expect this, and said with a smile: "Gold is real, you will need it in the future."

"Thank you. I'll keep it." Ah Jing was not the kind of person who would be shy. She smiled at him and put the purse in her arms.

Yun Qin remembered his kindness in saving Ah Jing, and looked at him with gentle eyes, "You came at the right time. I just cut the cake, you can have a piece too."

Rong Xin had already served him a piece, "It's Yunqin's idea. Try it, it tastes pretty good."

Xiao Dezi took it and sat at the table. Looking at the three people having fun, a genuine smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, hey, leave some for me!" Ah Jing stuffed the cake into her mouth while trying to snatch the cake from Rong Xin's hand.

But at this moment, her face suddenly changed and she started coughing, covering her chest.

"Look at you, why are you eating so fast?"

No one noticed anything unusual, and Rong Xin even walked over and patted her on the back.

But in the next second, Ah Jing, who was coughing, suddenly bent over and spat out a large mouthful of blood with a "bang".

This scene frightened everyone present.

"Ajing!"

Yun Qin screamed, and her first reaction was that the cake on the table had been tampered with, and that person was most likely targeting her, and all the people in the room were suffering for her.

She felt as if she were being split in half, screaming in agony while managing to remain calm.

Yun Qin shouted: "First, lay her down first, Xiao Dezi, Xiao Dezi!"

Even though he was right beside her, she kept shouting twice. It wasn't until Xiao Dezi stood in front of her that she seemed to react, "Go, go call Doctor Zhang Yu over, go quickly!"

"etc!"

Just as Xiao Dezi was about to leave, Yun Qin suddenly reached out and grabbed him. She had sobered up a little, "No, no, you also ate this. It's too dangerous to go out. Send someone to go and get Doctor Zhang Yu to come over."

"Don't show off!"

Among the few people, the only one who was really calm was Xiao Dezi. Firstly, he only tasted a little and didn't eat much. Secondly, he felt that he had to stay calm and absolutely could not make his sister more sad.

He wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't say anything. He could only nod heavily at her and hurried out the door.

"Ajing!" Rong Xin hugged Ajing who was lying on the ground, crying and calling her name.

Yun Qin's eyes were already blurred with tears. She struggled to stand up from the bed, walked to her with the help of the table, and kept calling out, "Ajing, Ajing..."

Blood was still oozing from the corner of Ah Jing's mouth, but she was still conscious. When she saw her coming over, she pulled the corner of her mouth towards her, "I, I'm fine. Maybe, maybe I just had an emergency. It's none of your business. Go back and lie down."

"Stop talking." Yun Qin saw the blood continuously flowing from the corner of her mouth. She was panicked and her tears were like beads that had broken off the string.

Rong Xin was already sobbing and still in disbelief, "What on earth is going on? What on earth is going on? Everything was fine, how could it be..."
