Chapter 69 "Does he have a complete heart?"

After everyone left, Yun Qin slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear without a trace of sleepiness.

"Yunqin." Rong Xin was a little confused when she saw her like this.

"If I don't sleep, how can the emperor leave so naturally?" Yun Qin smiled at her, "Do you want me to act reluctant to leave? I'm very tired today and can't act."

Rong Xin was a little worried, "Are you really okay?"

"You heard what Doctor Zhang Yu said, don't worry." Yun Qin patted her hand comfortingly, and whispered, "Next time Doctor Zhang Yu comes, you must thank him well."

Rong Xin nodded, "I really don't know how to thank him."

"There will always be a chance to repay you." Yun Qin said this to Rong Xin, and also to herself.

Rong Xin nodded again, looked at Yun Qin and said, "The Emperor is really good to you. We have been with Lady Huisu for two years, and we have never seen him so gentle."

She hesitated for a moment and continued, "Are you really not moved at all?"

Yun Qin chuckled when she heard this, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "My heart is moved, how can I not be moved? With just a word or a decision, you can control the life and death of others. This kind of power will make anyone excited."

Rong Xin naturally understood this feeling. If she was not attracted by power, how could she be willing to stay in the palace for the rest of her life and want to be a nanny who was obedient and respected by others.

"You know that's not what I'm talking about." She gave Yun Qin a reproachful look.

Yun Qin smiled again, "I don't dare to say anything else. Sister, I didn't lie. People like us only have ourselves. Our lives are not decided, but at least this heart is decided by me. Whoever wants it must exchange his own heart. He is the emperor, do you think he has a complete heart to exchange with me?"

"If there's one piece missing, I'll be miserable and want to grab what I'm missing. Then I won't be myself anymore. I'd rather die."

Rong Xin knew that she was very insightful, but she never thought that she could see love and hate so clearly. Thinking about her age, she only felt sad.

He grabbed her hand and said, "Pah!" "What are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense!"

"Okay, I won't tell you." Yun Qin patted her hands, "Sister, I'll just sleep for a while, just a little while. If there is a result, you have to wake me up."

She turned her head, looked at the beams, and whispered, "She wants to see me, so I'll go see her."

Rong Xin touched her hair and said distressedly, "Okay, I'll call you, go to sleep."

Yun Qin nodded slightly, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

What Xu An found out was beyond everyone's expectations.

He went to the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate everyone, and indeed found the palace maid who drugged Ajing. However, that person insisted that it was a palace maid in the Empress's palace who found her, gave her a bag of goose cream, and asked her to add it to Ajing's food, and told her strictly the dosage.

Xu An did not have time to be shocked. He took his people to the Queen's palace, but he had just told the Queen about this matter.

Someone from the palace came to report that the maid had hanged herself.

Xu An led people to search her house and actually found a bag of goose cream in her house.

When the things were brought to the Queen, she was not panicked at all. Instead, she became furious and smashed the medicine bowl in her hand, saying that she wanted to see the Emperor.

So this matter was brought to the attention of Hawking Chi.

In Tongming Palace, inside Huo Jinchi's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know what's going on here." The Queen pointed at a bag of goose cream on the table. "Before today, I have never heard of this kind of thing. How could I possibly use it to harm others!"

Seeing her furious look, Huo Jinchi believed her in his heart. It was not for any other reason, but because he knew the empress who was once called Fang Qingxue very well. She was now pure and innocent, and she might not even be able to tell the difference between rice and vegetables. It was said that she was accompanied by poetry and books all day long, and did not care about worldly things.

He thought this was another kind of ignorance.

Given her current situation, she might not even know what goose cream is.

"You don't know what it is?" Huo Jinchi had a bad idea and subconsciously twirled the beads in his hand, but felt that it felt wrong. He lowered his eyes, and what flashed across his mind was Yunqin's smooth cheeks and the fine white jade, which suddenly almost made him feel uncomfortable.

He put the bracelet on the table and continued, "Have you never eaten goose?"

The queen was surprised and pointed at the things on the table. "Did the poison come from the goose?"

Huo Jinchi lowered his eyes and twirled his fingertips. He chuckled but did not answer.

Xu An, who was standing beside him, looked at him and explained helplessly, "Your Majesty, this goose cream is not taken from geese. Its full name is goose cream fungus, which is a poisonous mushroom."

"Your Majesty!" The Queen immediately looked at Hawking Chi and shouted angrily.

Huo Jinchi still didn't raise his eyes, and chuckled again, "Xu An, see, this is your queen who is well-read in poetry books."

The queen was so angry that she was shaking. She held onto the corner of the table and looked at Huo Jinchi with gritted teeth, saying, "This will finally prove my innocence, right?"

"That's hard to say." Huo Jinchi raised his eyes this time and looked at her coldly, "After all, the one who sent the poison was someone from your palace, and the one who poisoned was also someone from your palace. Can you clear yourself of suspicion?"

Another crack appeared on the empress's cold face. "I will definitely go back to the palace to investigate and give the emperor an explanation!"

She looked at the emperor, her eyes three points colder than his, "Has your Majesty never thought that someone has framed me?"

"Who?" Huo Jinchi raised his eyebrows and looked at her, his eyes full of coldness and ridicule: "Who can bribe the palace maid beside you, Lady Su? Or, do you want to talk about Yun Qin?"

The queen lowered her eyes and did not continue speaking. Instead, she said coldly, "I will go back and check it out."

"You'd better find out the truth. Don't worry, I will investigate it thoroughly and will never wrongly accuse you."

The two men were on the verge of a fight. Xu An and Lan Ying, who was following the Queen, felt uncomfortable, but no one dared to go up and persuade them.

In the end, Hawking waved his hand and sent him away.

The queen immediately flicked her sleeves and walked away with Lanying.

After the people left, Xu An couldn't help but say to Huo Jinchi: "Your Majesty, you are so angry with the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager knows, she will scold you again."

"Should I be blamed?" Huo Jinchi sneered, "She could have stayed out of the palace and lived a peaceful life, but she insisted on coming. I have also told the Queen Mother this. Why should they feel wronged? I am the one who should feel wronged!"

Xu An suddenly didn't dare to say anything and wanted to slap himself in the face. What was wrong with pleading for the empress? What was the difference between this and touching the emperor's scales?
