Chapter 83 Explosion

During this period, Yunqin also asked Xiao Dezi to go to the emperor's palace. Just like last time, the emperor did not see him.

Yunqin understood that the emperor had no intention of interfering in this matter and wanted her to deal with it on her own.

Indeed, it is just delivering something, and in the eyes of others, there is no danger in it.

Even if she was really in trouble, it was just a little injustice. With the previous experience of Su Meiren almost beating her to death, would anyone dare to touch her?

Yun Qin felt a chill in his chest and could only secretly be on his guard.

When Yun Qin heard that Concubine Su asked her to deliver something to the Queen Mother again, she did not refuse this time.

A thief can only steal for a thousand days, so there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Instead of waiting anxiously all day, why not just wait and see what tricks they are up to!

In response, Lady Su's expression did not change significantly. She just looked at Yun Qin deeply. After she and Ting He left, a sneer slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Yun Qin walked out of the palace gate, but did not see Rong Xin and Xiao Dezi. She realized that they had probably been sent out by Concubine Su, and felt a little uneasy.

Walking out of the palace gate, Ting He whispered to Yun Qin: "Miss Yun Qin, don't worry too much, just follow me closely when the time comes."

Hearing her say this, Yun Qin realized that her expression must be very solemn at this moment. She forced a smile and said, "Thank you, aunt."

Ting He shook his head slightly and didn't say anything more to her.

Although she and Tingshuang had been instructed by the emperor, as the emperor no longer cared about Yunqin, the two of them no longer protected her in everything like they did before.

Her kindness towards Yun Qin now was purely because she had some affection for Yun Qin's previous loyalty to her master, and she also felt a little sympathy for her experience.

Yunqin did not take the initiative to talk.

The two of them walked in silence all the way to the Queen Mother's Ninghe Palace.

After the palace maid reported, she quickly came out and said in a calm voice, "Tingshuang, come with me." She glanced at Yunqin and her voice deepened a little, "You just wait outside now."

Yun Qin didn't even raise her eyes when she heard this. She had already anticipated various situations. Whether the Queen Mother wanted to see her or not, she didn't have any thoughts in her mind at this moment.

If they met her, they would just give her a few words of admonition or some punishment. If they didn't meet her, it was because they thought she was of low status and had no qualifications.

She won't lose any weight either way.

However, one thing was obvious: the trap they set for themselves was not for the Queen Mother.

Ting He glanced at Yun Qin with a complicated expression on his face, "Then give me the things."

Yunqin handed the things over, and she lowered her voice and said, "Don't walk around."

Yun Qin raised her eyes to look at her, and seeing that her worry was genuine, her eyes softened a little.

"I saved it."

Ting He nodded slightly, and followed the arrogant palace maid into the hall. Yun Qin turned aside and stood aside, waiting with her eyes lowered.

Her face was calm, but her heart was tense and she was always paying attention to the changes around her.

Soon, a young palace maid came out from the hall and said to Yunqin, "Sister, the Queen Mother still wants to talk to Aunt Tinghe for a while. Sister, why don't you go to the side hall and have a cup of tea first."

As she walked out, she brought out a stick of sandalwood from the temple, which showed that she had been in the temple for some time.

Then she must have been instructed to do this.

Yun Qin looked at her, carefully distinguishing the expression on her face, and indeed noticed that there was something unnatural in her expression for a moment.

"No need, I'll just stand here and wait for my aunt to get better." She tried to refuse.

The little palace maid's eyes slightly dodged, she glanced inside the palace, and said in a tough tone, "This is the Empress Dowager's sympathy, sister, you'd better appreciate it."

Yun Qin clenched her hands in her sleeves, but a smile appeared on her face, "Then please help me thank the Queen Mother."

She knew very well what the maid's look meant. If she refused to agree, the aunts and maids in the shop would probably come out and make her "agree".

There was no turning back then.

"Please lead the way, sister."

The young palace maid took Yunqin to a side hall not far from the main hall, but there was no one around.

After Yunqin was brought in, the little palace maid left.

Just when Yun Qin was feeling anxious, the little palace maid came back with a cup of tea in her hand.

"Sister, have a cup of tea and wait."

Yun Qin stared at the cup of tea, her heart ringing with alarm. She pinched her fingertips tightly to prevent herself from changing color. With a smile on her face, she took the tea handed to her by the palace maid.

"Thank you."

She put the teacup back on the table and looked at the little palace maid, "Sister, aren't you going to serve in the palace?"

"There are many people in the palace. I'll stay here to talk to you." She said as she sat on another chair and glanced at the tea on the table. She looked a little nervous and her tone unconsciously became urgent. "Sister, have some tea."

The smile on Yun Qin's lips became more and more forced, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

In fact, she only had one thought, which was: she absolutely could not drink this cup of tea!

She smiled at the palace maid again, and stretched out her slender white fingers from her sleeves, seemingly going to serve tea, but she suddenly jumped up the next second.

At this moment, Yun Qin burst out with a strength she had not expected. She kicked the palace maid who was about to stand up back with one foot, and then she rushed over and pressed her down on the chair.

Yun Qin's knees held the maid's hands and feet, trapping them between the armrests and making them unable to move.

Seeing that she was about to scream, Yun Qin was quick to grab her neck so that she could not call for help, and with her other hand she picked up the tea and poured it into her mouth.

Seeing the tea enter her mouth, Yun Qin immediately loosened her hand that was pinching her neck and instead covered her mouth tightly.

To prevent her from spitting it out, and to force her to swallow the tea in her mouth.

It was unknown how much the maid had drunk, but soon her struggling strength gradually weakened. Yun Qin tentatively let go of her hand, and she seemed to have no strength to call for help.

Yun Qin stared at her and slowly moved away.

The palace maid slid down from the chair slowly. She was still conscious and stretched out her hand as if she was still trying to get outside.

But soon, her hands loosened and she collapsed to the ground without moving.

Yun Qin's heart was beating like a drum, but her hands steadily placed the teacup on the table without making any sound.

She slowly squatted down, stretched out her fingers, and touched the nose of the palace maid.

Her trembling hands revealed her restlessness at the moment. She clenched her hands tightly before placing her fingers precisely under her nose.

Feeling the hot breath of the palace maid, Yun Qin's body softened and she held on to the chair to avoid falling to the ground.

She leaned over the chair, closed her eyes and gasped for a few times, and when she opened her eyes again, she had regained her composure.

Now is not the time to relax. If the little palace maid doesn't come out for a long time, she will definitely come to check. She must leave the Queen Mother's Palace as soon as possible.

Fortunately, what the Queen Mother did was not something glorious, and there was no one guarding outside the side hall.

The maids who were cleaning the Ninghe Palace probably didn't know about such secret matters.

She has a chance to escape!
