Chapter 81: Guidance from an Expert

The sun was scorching, but the atmosphere between the four people on the palace road outside Fengyi Palace was a little cold.

Lady Liu looked at Lady Su with some contempt on her face, "Sister, you are so cruel. I was there at the time. The maid tried her best to save you. How could you have the heart to do that? I heard that if the emperor hadn't rushed over in time, she would have been beaten to death by you."

She bit the three words "beaten to death" very hard, and her eyes looked at Yun Qin like a knife.

He almost said directly: You useless thing, why didn't you beat her to death at that time!

"Sister, you should take care of yourself more." Lady Su seemed unmoved by her provocative words. She glanced at her belly and said coldly, "Not everyone can give birth to a child."

Concubine Liu's face turned pale instantly after hearing this. She protected her belly, dodged to the side, and sneered at Concubine Su, "Sister, you must be crazy to say such a thing! This is not far from Fengyi Palace. You are not afraid that this will reach the ears of the Empress."

Lady Su, who had been calm for so long, suddenly became angry: "How dare you use the Empress to pressure me!"

Lady Liu was not afraid of her. "What if I suppress you? Do you really think you are still the Concubine Hui? Even if you want to cling to the Queen's thigh, you have to look at what you are now!"

Although she was harsh in words, she had already hidden behind her palace maids, covering her belly with her hands, fearing that Concubine Su would really go crazy.

It wasn't that she was overly nervous, it was just that the redness under Su Meiren's eyes was a little scary.

If it were before, Yun Qin would definitely worry that Lady Su would do something out of line, and would step forward to stop her and pull her away.

But now, she just watched coldly, and the villain in her heart was still waving a little flag: Fight, fight!

Concubine Su did not lose control. She snorted and laughed and confronted Concubine Liu, "At least I was given the title of Huipin. But what about you? Even if you are pregnant, will the emperor care about you?"

"You!" Lady Liu's sore spot was hit and her eyes were instantly filled with hatred.

The two were in a stalemate when Jiang Lihai, the chief eunuch of Fengyi Palace, walked out of the palace gate and said to them with a smile, "My two masters, what's going on?"

He called her "Master", but Yun Qin felt his eyes were on her.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Eunuch Jiang?" Lady Liu asked immediately, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

This lady Su is like a madman now. She is really a little scared to confront her.

"It was the Empress who asked me to call you in to talk."

"Me?" Lady Liu was a little surprised, but she nodded immediately the next second, "Then please lead the way, sir."

It came just in time, as she didn't know how to end it.

"Then please come in, my beauty." Jiang Lihai extended his hand to invite Concubine Liu to enter the palace, but he took a step back, glanced at Yun Qin, and secretly exchanged glances with Concubine Su.

Yun Qin lowered her eyes. Although she felt the gazes falling on her, she did not see him and Lady Su looking at each other.

After everyone left, Su Meiren turned to Yun Qin and said, "Let's go too."

On the way back, she glanced at Yunqin again and said, "Do you see clearly what my situation is like in the palace now?"

Didn't you do all this yourself? Yun Qin sneered in her heart, but she kept her eyes down and didn't look at her, nor did she answer.

Lady Su didn't care. She looked away and looked at the palace corridor in front of her. She sighed and said, "Yunqin, after going through so much, I have finally understood. The emperor is ruthless. If you want to live well in this palace, you must learn to stick together and find a backer for yourself."

She didn't look at Yunqin, but her voice became colder, "Do you think that you will be fine after you have won the emperor's favor? If you really become a concubine one day, it is better for you to join forces with me than those people who have ulterior motives and make fun of you and me."

"With your beauty and my skills, we can gain a foothold in the palace."

The fact that she could say these words really impressed Yun Qin. A few days ago, she looked so timid, but in just a few days, she suddenly spoke so clearly.

Were you really provoked by what these concubines said?

Yun Qin would never believe it. She was afraid that there must be an expert behind it.

Who can she reach?

Judging from the attitudes of the palace concubines towards her, they are nothing more than her two aunts and... the Empress.

Yun Qin was not so narcissistic as to think that the empress would want to pull her down.

Given Su Meiren's intelligence, the queen probably didn't explain everything she wanted to say, but only gave a few suggestions. She probably still thought that such a brilliant idea was her own.

But what is the Queen's purpose in doing this?

Let yourself be forever inferior to Lady Su and be controlled by her?

Although Yun Qin hasn't developed much ambition yet, they are really underestimating themselves!

Seeing that Yunqin still didn't speak, Lady Su suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Yunqin.

Yun Qin raised her eyes and saw her staring at her.

"I say these words from the bottom of my heart. I advise you to think carefully and not make any decision that you will regret."

Hearing this threatening tone, Yun Qin slowly showed a sneer on her lips, "My beauty, guess what I regret most?"

Looking at her eyes that were as cold as water, Lady Su naturally understood what she meant. Anger immediately surged in her chest, and she raised her hand to slap Yun Qin in the face.

However, his hand was just inches away from Yun Qin's cheek when she grabbed her wrist.

"My beauty, please be careful. After all, my face is very valuable nowadays." Yun Qin looked at her with a smile and shook her hand away.

The back of his hand hit her hand, making a crisp "pa" sound.

Although the slap was thrown on the hand, it was like a slap on Lady Su's face. She looked at Yun Qin with anger in her eyes, "You, you are so brave!"

Yun Qin snorted lightly and took two steps back to distance herself from her.

"My beauty, it's getting late. Let's go back to the palace quickly and stop standing here and embarrassing ourselves."

Su Meiren almost gnashed her teeth to pieces. She looked at the people who were spying in the dark and said through gritted teeth, "I'll deal with you when we get back!"

That was what she said, but when she arrived at Chunxi Palace, the furious Concubine Su was held down by her two aunts on both sides and had no chance to cause trouble for Yunqin.

Yun Qin walked out of the hall, patted the hem of her clothes lightly, and nodded slightly to Xiao Dezi who was standing beside her with a worried look on his face, indicating that she was fine.

"I have already reported to Eunuch Xu, but I have not seen the emperor." Xiao Dezi said in a low voice.

Yun Qin was not surprised by this and just said, "In the future, just report this matter to Eunuch Xu. Don't worry about the emperor's attitude."

Although Xiao Dezi is smart, he can't understand why the emperor wants to keep Sister Yunqin with Concubine Su.

He did not dare to entertain any outrageous thoughts, but became more resolute in his decision to serve Yu.

When I can meet the emperor in person, I will naturally understand what he is thinking, and it will also make my sister feel at ease.

"You do your thing, I'll go back to my room and rest."

"Sister, take care."
