Chapter 76 The First Thing

Just two days after this incident, another piece of not-so-good news came.

Once the deadlock between the court officials and the emperor was resolved, the Su family also took action. Not only did Lord Su plead with Huo Jinchi, but even her mother went to the Empress Dowager for help.

Lady Su has been imprisoned for more than two months now, so she naturally cannot be kept in prison like this any longer. In addition, the Su family has pleaded for mercy on both sides, and the political situation has just been stabilized.

Whatever the reason, the Sumerians were finally released from their house arrest with an imperial decree.

The first thing she did after lifting the house arrest was to call Yunqin to the palace.

As soon as the messenger left, Rong Xin immediately grabbed Yun Qin and said nervously, "You can't go. I'll go tell her that you haven't recovered yet and can't get out of bed now."

"She won't let me go. I'll have to see her sooner or later." Yun Qin's face was a little gloomy, but she didn't show any intention of backing down.

"But……"

"It's nothing." Yun Qin interrupted her and said, "Don't come with me. If she sees you with me, she will get angry with you again."

Rong Xin could only nod and let go of her hand.

Yun Qin did not change her clothes and still wore plain clothes as she went to the front hall.

——

Lady Su has always had complicated feelings towards Yun Qin. Even though Yun Qin pretended to obey her but secretly disobeyed her, and even though she was locked up for two months because of her, when she thought about it carefully, she did not have much hatred towards Yun Qin.

But she was really jealous of Yun Qin. This jealousy was unreasonable, but more terrifying than hatred. It was like millions of ants, gnawing at her heart and leaving her no peace for a moment.

This prompted her to want to get rid of Yun Qin, but she was well aware of Yun Qin's value.

To her, Yunqin was just those skinny horses that were given to her father, and they were the bargaining chips she used to win over the emperor!

After being locked up for two months, she was always thinking about one question.

Yun Qin was so good to her, and even risked her life to save her. If she had used her to encircle the emperor, she would have surely regained his favor.

It was because of the uncontrollable jealousy in my heart that destroyed everything!

During this time, she naturally learned from her two aunts how much the emperor valued Yun Qin. Although she didn't know the details, she was still angry and happy.

As expected, the emperor could not resist Yunqin's charm.

In this case, she must make good use of it.

She must control herself and must capture Yun Qin first!

But these firm thoughts were shaken the moment he saw Yun Qin.

It was not because of anything else, but because of Yunqin's face, or because of the jealousy in her heart that she could not control or eliminate.

In the past two months, she didn't know whether Yunqin had become thinner or had grown up, but she looked even better than she remembered, just like the peonies blooming in the yard, beautiful and charming, with a different charm at every moment and from any angle.

She was looking at Yunqin, and Yunqin was also looking at her.

It was obvious that the two aunts took good care of Lady Su. There was no sign of sickness on her face. She looked much plumper than before, her face had become bigger, and there was no longer any timidity between her brows. Instead, there was a bit more sharpness. Perhaps it was because the two aunts had brought her up well that she now had a dignified demeanor.

At first glance, he seemed like a completely different person.

"Your servant greets Lady Su." Yun Qin lowered her eyes and bowed.

Lady Su looked at her for a while before saying, "You seem to be almost recovered. When can you come back to serve me?"

This question surprised Yun Qin. There were almost only rumors about her outside, and she didn't believe that Lady Su was still completely unaware of it.

Since she knew everything, why did she keep me by her side?

Yun Qin thought about it for a moment and understood what was going on. It was clear that she was still unwilling to give up and still wanted to use herself to regain her favor.

Is she naive or stupid?

Does he still need to rely on her to win the emperor's favor? Or does she think he will still help her?

Yun Qin wanted to laugh, and she did laugh right in front of Lady Su. "I'm afraid I can't serve you anymore. Doctor Zhang Yu said I should rest and recuperate."

The three words "Dr. Zhang Yu" immediately stimulated Lady Su. During this period of time, Dr. Zhang Yu had never appeared in front of her. Even if she was stupid, she understood that not everyone could be treated by Dr. Zhang Yu.

The patients that Zhang Yu treated must be those that the emperor cared about.

Concubine Su finally lost her composure and said coldly, "Don't forget, you are still my maid, so you have to serve me!"

"My beauty, don't you remember?" Yun Qin looked at her coldly, "First, I saved your high fever, and then you ordered people to beat me up, causing internal injuries and bleeding. Now I can only get out of bed for a few days, and I have to gasp after walking a few steps. My beauty, what do you think I can do for you?"

Even if Lady Su remembered, how could she take it to heart? All she could see now was Yun Qin standing in front of her unharmed.

"How do I know this isn't an excuse?"

Yun Qin sneered again and asked, "Since the beauty won't believe anything I say, then why do you want me to go back to the palace?"

Su Meiren had experienced how stubborn she was. Last time, she almost beat her to death, but she didn't even say a word. It was impossible to make her surrender with just a few words now.

Su Meiren took a deep breath and said, "If you really haven't recovered yet, you should rest well first."

"Tinghe, go to the warehouse and find some high-quality supplements and send them to the kitchen. From now on, tell the kitchen to prepare what I eat every day for Yunqin." She also instructed her aunt who was standing beside her.

Before Tinghe could agree, Yunqin refused.

"How dare I, a lowly servant, eat the same thing as a beauty." Yun Qin thought she hadn't provoked her deeply enough, so she added, "Besides, my tonic food is prepared and sent to me by the kitchen, so you don't need to worry about it!"

Hearing this, Concubine Su clenched her teeth again. She had the emperor to care about her, so naturally he didn't need her.

"Yunqin, I'm already showing my goodwill to you, why don't you show me your courtesy?" Lady Su said gritting her teeth.

Yun Qin smiled softly, "My beauty, please don't lift me up. I almost lost my life the few times you lifted me up!"

"you!"

Lady Su was about to get angry, but was stopped by Ting He who was standing beside her, "Please calm down, my lady. She is just a servant. Why are you so angry? Doctor Yu has said something to you, so you won't be so angry anymore."

She looked at Yunqin again and tried to wink at her, "Why don't you get off now!"

Since it was a good intention, Yun Qin would naturally not refuse it, and whispered: "Then I will take my leave first."
