Chapter 79 Greetings

After talking for a while, Huo Jinchi left.

Yun Qin helped Rong Xin stand up, and watched Huo Jinchi walk away little by little, with the tenderness in her eyes fading little by little.

"Go back." She whispered to Rong Xin.

Her collar was neat and smooth, so nothing could be seen, but Rong Xin could still see a glimpse of the bright red at the corners of her eyes. Her face felt a little hot, and she quickly lowered her eyelids, not daring to look any further.

After returning to the room and waiting for Yun Qin to lean on the couch, she couldn't help but ask, "Should we pack up our things and prepare to move out?" There was some urgency in her tone.

Yunqin knew that she was so anxious because she was worried about herself, but the answer would disappoint her.

"The emperor wants me to live in Chunxi Palace for some time." After she said this, she analyzed the current situation in the court and the harem with her.

"Let's not talk about whether the ministers in the court will use my status to make trouble. The Queen Mother alone is not someone I can deal with. Let's not talk about anything else. Just tell me to persuade the Emperor not to get angry with the ministers. Do you think I should persuade him or not?"

Yun Qin sighed slightly, "So, it's better to face Lady Su than the Queen Mother."

Rong Xin also sighed, "You are really thoughtful."

She looked at Yunqin for a while, and a smile appeared on her face again, "Seeing the emperor being so open with you, it makes me feel relieved."

Isn't it my intelligence that the emperor values ​​most? Yun Qin also smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

The second day.

As expected, Huo Jinchi asked Xu An to send a lot of things, including the golden melon seeds that Yun Qin hinted at.

Two full bags.

Yunqin was holding two heavy purses and was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the emperor was so satisfied with her performance yesterday.

Thinking of the gloomy expression on Hawking Chi's face when he said "Do you blame me?" yesterday, I couldn't help but sneer.

He is still good at pretending.

Xu An did not stay long, nor did he let Yun Qin choose the things. He put everything down and left quickly with his people, obviously to avoid contact with Concubine Su who was now under house arrest.

In the following days, apart from the visit of Doctor Zhang Yu, no one came to see Yunqin again.

Yun Qin was not surprised by this. After Huo Jinchi said that, she understood that he would not come over in the near future and would even act as if he didn't care about her.

These were the same methods that had been used on Concubine Hui before, and she was very familiar with them.

These days, Lady Su wanted to see Yun Qin, but was stopped several times by her aunt.

It's just that it happens so often that there comes a time when I can't hold back any longer.

That day, Yun Qin was called to the palace early in the morning.

The windows in the hall were still closed, and the inner hall was dark. Although ice basins had been used early in the hall, there was no coolness in the room. Instead, it was hot and humid, making it difficult to breathe.

Lady Su was putting on makeup. The smell of powder lingered in the air for a long time, making Yun Qin's throat uncomfortable. She started coughing as soon as she came in.

Seeing her coughing while holding her chest in the mirror, Concubine Su put another hairpin in her hair and said calmly, "Look at you. You are bored after staying in the palace all day. Come with me today to pay respects to the empress and go out for a walk."

Before Yun Qin could catch her breath and speak, Aunt Tingshuang said, "My lady, she is still ill. It would be bad if she spreads her illness to you. I will go with you to pay my respects."

Su Meiren did not answer her immediately, but stroked her temples with her fingertips before glancing at her.

After such a long time, she naturally realized that the two aunts around her were protecting Yun Qin openly or secretly.

It goes without saying that this must have been ordered by the emperor.

A hint of coldness flashed across her eyes, and her gaze fell on Yun Qin again. She was rarely angry, and only said coldly: "She stays in the palace all day long. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will forget about her? I took her out for a walk for her own good."

If someone else said this, Yunqin might believe it, but she absolutely did not believe it when Lady Su said this.

She raised her eyes and looked at the slightly unfamiliar face of Lady Su in the mirror, her eyes narrowed slightly.

What is she planning?

Aunt Shuang was about to say something when she was interrupted by Lady Su.

"You were sent by the Empress Dowager to serve me. Aren't you afraid that I will ask the Empress Dowager and find out whether she wants you to serve me like this?" She glanced at Tingshuang coldly.

If they could use the Queen Mother to control her, then she could naturally use the Queen Mother to control them.

As expected, when the Queen Mother was mentioned, Tingshuang immediately felt guilty. After all, the Queen Mother did not instruct them not to let Concubine Su and Yunqin have contact.

Seeing her retreat, Lady Su sneered and looked at Yunqin and said, "Why don't you help me up?"

At this moment, Yun Qin thought a lot, mostly about what would happen if she refused to be with Lady Su.

The only one who can help her now is the Emperor, but the Emperor is now treating her coldly and may not care about her. If she gets too awkward with Concubine Su, she will probably suffer physical pain again.

A good man never suffers a loss in front of him.

It's just going with her to pay respects to the empress. It will happen again sooner or later anyway. Besides, compared to myself, Concubine Su is more embarrassing.

Having made up her mind, Yun Qin did not hesitate and went straight forward to hold Lady Su's arm, "Please, my lady."

Seeing how interesting she was, Lady Su laughed slyly, "You are the smartest one indeed."

Yun Qin pretended not to hear, helped her up, stepped aside, and followed her out of the hall.

The only thing she was thankful for now was that she was only wearing simple palace dress today. Her jewelry was nothing special except for the white jade bracelet hanging on her wrist.

There's no way. She likes such good things very much and often carries them with her unconsciously.

But fortunately, the sleeves are long, so unless you make any big movements, they won’t show through the sleeves.

Since her demotion, Concubine Su could no longer travel in a sedan chair. By the time she arrived at the empress's palace, it was already bright.

There were already quite a few people sitting in the hall.

The most eye-catching one among them is naturally Miss Liu.

She was wearing a purple dress sprinkled with gold, and covered in jewels so dazzling that it made one's eyes dizzy.

What is more eye-catching than her outfit is the way she holds her waist. Her belly is obviously flat, but it is sticking out. She looks like she is afraid that others don't know that she is pregnant, which is hilarious.

At this moment, two people were chatting and laughing with her, and the expressions on the faces of the others were indifferent, but their eyes would glance at her belly from time to time, and it was unclear whether they were envious or jealous.

As Lady Su walked in, everyone's eyes turned to her, and then they all looked at Lady Liu, with interesting expressions on their faces.

They were waiting to see a joke and for a moment they ignored Yun Qin who was following behind her.
