Chapter 74 "Sister, you're not hiding anything from me, right?"

No matter how reluctant she was, the day for Ajing to leave the palace finally came.

Although Yun Qin was able to get out of bed, she was not yet able to walk around.

She was physically weak and often troubled by nightmares, so Dr. Zhang Yu added some sedatives to the medicine he prescribed for her so that she could fall asleep normally. She would sleep very deeply and often had to be called by Rong Xin in the morning for her to wake up.

Although she repeatedly asked Rong Xin to wake her up so that she could send Ah Jing off, when she opened her eyes the next day, Rong Xin had already returned.

"Your health is not good to begin with. If you cry again, all the medicine you've taken during this period will be in vain." Rong Xin explained to her with red eyes, "This is what Ajing and I discussed. She doesn't want you to suffer anymore."

Yun Qin knew their good intentions, but still couldn't help complaining, "But, but, this may be the last time I see Ajing." As she spoke, tears kept falling.

"Don't talk nonsense. I've already told you that the hospice is also part of the palace. If we really want to go, we can still go and see it." Rong Xin quickly wiped her tears. "Didn't I tell you not to cry?"

Yunqin couldn't bear it any longer. Ajing had already left, and it would be useless for her to get angry. But she was still sad.

"Sister, I understand you. Why don't you understand me? Ajing did all this for me, but I can't even see her off!" She hugged the quilt and cried more and more heartbroken.

Rong Xin had no choice but to persuade her again and again.

Yun Qin, who was crying sadly on her knees, suddenly raised her head and looked at Rong Xin with tears in her eyes, "Sister, you are not hiding anything from me, are you?"

Rong Xin was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "What can I hide from you? Now Ajing has been discharged safely. If you don't believe me, you can trust Doctor Zhang Yu, right?"

Seeing that she couldn't tell anything from her face, Yun Qin lowered her eyes and wiped away her tears, saying angrily, "That's better. Otherwise, I can tell you, if I get angry, I'm afraid of myself."

Rong Xin was amused by her, "Okay, then you can get angry and scare me to death, okay?"

"Hmph!" Yun Qin snorted heavily, and then said to Rong Xin: "Then tell me in detail what happened when Ah Jing left."

"Okay." Rong Xin told Yun Qin the scene in detail.

"The Queen Mother is kindhearted. She knows that Ah Jing has not fully recovered yet, so she gave Madam Ruan a maid to do chores, and also gave eunuchs in the palace to help them carry the boxes..."

Yun Qin listened carefully, touched the little golden pig tied with a red rope on her wrist, and a smile returned to her face a little, but there were still some tears in her eyes.

Although she has accepted the reality, she still can't help thinking, how nice it would be if she were also in the team that left the palace...

Seeing her like this, Rong Xin naturally understood her mood and touched her hair. "Alright, you've been crying all morning, you must be tired, right? I'll change the medicine for you, you can rest for a while."

Yun Qin was indeed feeling a little dizzy, so she did not refuse and lay on the quilt, letting Rong Xin apply the medicine.

"Sister, tell me again, I want to hear it again."

Rong Xin paused with the medicine in her hand, sighed secretly, and said, "Okay."

——

The person who has had the worst time these days is the Queen.

Under pressure from the emperor, she searched the Fengyi Palace almost thoroughly, making everyone in the palace laugh.

After all, it was just a matter of a palace maid being poisoned. Even if Yun Qin was involved, it was not a big deal. But this kind of thing is like this, it can be big or small, it all depends on whether the emperor cares or not.

Once the emperor cares, even the smallest matter will become a huge one.

If the emperor wants a result, then we must give him a result no matter what.

It’s a pity that even after a thorough investigation, the Queen didn’t find out anything and could only go to see Hawking Chi with a gloomy face.

Huo Jinchi actually knew in his heart that she would most likely not be able to find out anything. When he heard that the queen was coming, he simply said two words to Xu An, "No!"

"But the Empress is here to report the outcome of the Ajing incident to the Emperor." Xu An was embarrassed.

Hawking's head was buried in the memorials, not even raising his head. "Then can she give me a result?"

"It seems like there is no result." Xu An's eyes twitched.

Huo Jinchi raised his head and gave him a cold look.

Xu An understood what he meant and could only retreat silently. When he reached the door of the hall, he immediately put on a smiling face and walked out.

"Your Majesty, you know that the state affairs have been busy recently, and the emperor really cannot spare the time to see you." He forced a smile, and his eyes, which were not big to begin with, were almost bloated with laughter.

The Queen's usually cold face was now even colder than before. She stared at Xu An for a few seconds before she looked away and reached out to Lan Ying.

Lanying immediately handed her a memorial.

"Everything I can find out is in here." The Queen threw the memorial to Xu An, "Remember to give it to the Emperor."

She continued coldly, "You don't need to bother the emperor to think of any crime for me. Since it was someone in my palace who committed the crime, I cannot deny the blame. I will fine myself half a year's salary. Ask the emperor if this will calm his anger. If not, have someone come and beat me up!"

After saying these words, the Queen took Lanying's hand, turned around and left.

Xu An had a bitter face and could only report the memorial and what the emperor said to Huo Jinchi.

Huo Jinchi didn't even look at her, and smiled coldly, "It should be a lesson for her. After all, she is the queen, and she doesn't even know that someone has planted someone around her. If the concubines die, it will also fall on her head. Don't even think about beating her up. I have to depose her to silence the public!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xu An and said, "There's no need to keep this secret. Tell her about it."

Xu An replied with a bitter "yes", thinking: How can they be husband and wife? They are simply enemies from past lives!

No one knew how the Queen would react, but by the time the news reached Yunqin, she had already claimed to be ill and had stopped paying respects in the mornings for the past few days.

Yun Qin was not surprised that nothing was found out about the Empress.

It took a few days for Ajing to take effect of the poison. During these few days, the people behind the scenes had enough time to clean up the mess. If the Queen could find out something, she would be surprised.

This time, it was not Xu An who came, but Aunt Xia Yun. She actually handed Yun Qin the memorial written by the Queen to the Emperor.

Yun Qin was a fool to accept the memorial. She just said, "I already know the news. There is no need to read this memorial. Aunt, you should take it to the emperor."

Aunt Xia Yun always did things in a way that made people feel at ease. Naturally, she did not force Yun Qin. She said, "The emperor asked me to come here for one thing. He wanted me to see how the young lady's injury has recovered."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qin subconsciously tightened her collar, "This, this is not necessary."

Xia Yun smiled warmly, "The emperor said that if you don't let me see it, he will come and see it himself."

"Here, I'll give it to you."
