Chapter 86 Thorough
At the same time, in Fengyi Palace.
Lan Ying walked quickly into the Queen's bedroom, walked to the Queen who was standing in front of the bookshelf picking books, and whispered, "Your Majesty, he's back."
The Queen paused holding the book, then pulled it out and asked, "It seems you can't get it."
"Yes, the person who came said that he had a wound on his face." Lan Ying curled her lips, "That palace lady is quite fierce."
The queen turned around and sat down at the desk, without making any comment.
Lan Ying continued, "He was so audacious that he actually colluded with Concubine Su without telling the Queen. He did such a thing. Your Majesty, are you really not going to teach him a lesson?"
The queen did not look up, her voice as cold as water, "Didn't the maiden be alright?"
These cold words left Lan Ying speechless for a moment. After a long silence, she asked again, "Then what about this matter..."
"Don't pay attention to it." The queen only showed a hint of sneer on her face at this time.
He still wanted her to take care of it. She was already very kind to Yunqin by not taking any action.
She didn't care how the Queen Mother and Concubine Su would deal with Yun Qin. She didn't even understand. She was just a palace maid. If they really didn't like her, they could just get rid of her. Why go to so much trouble?
Even if Huo Jinchi cares about her, who doesn't like new things? When the novelty wears off, he will be thrown aside and ignored like those people in the palace.
Haven’t you seen enough of the high-climbing and high-falling scenes?
Not to mention that she hasn't even actually stood in front of him yet!

"How could Su Yiyan treat you like this!"
After listening to Yun Qin's explanation of the whole story, Rong Xin immediately slammed the table and called out Lady Su's name.
Yun Qin looked up at her, and a hint of warmth finally returned to her eyes.
"No, you must tell the emperor about this. Don't show up. I'll go find Xiao Dezi and ask him to go find Eunuch Xu quietly."
Just as she was about to leave, her sleeve was grabbed.
Rong Xin lowered her eyes to look at Yun Qin holding her hand, gritted her teeth and said with hatred: "Do you really want to join forces with her and stand on the side of the Queen Mother? You can't bully people like this!"
Yun Qin's eyes turned red as she listened. She looked up and whispered to her, "Sister, are we really human beings in their eyes?"
These words made Rong Xin silent for a moment.
In the eyes of those in high positions, they are just slaves. Are slaves really human beings?
Yun Qin continued, "I have thought about going to the Emperor. But even if I tell him what the Queen Mother did, what will happen? The Queen Mother is his mother, and the former imperial relatives, the Gong family, are so powerful. Will he blame the Queen Mother for me and turn against her?"
"The answer is obvious, so why should I bother myself? Besides, if this gets to the Queen Mother's ears, I'm afraid the next time I drink tea, it will be poisoned. The Queen Mother has not yet made up her mind to kill me. This is my only chance to survive, and I can't let it go in vain just to save my dignity."
Her tone was gentle and slow, without a trace of sadness, but Rong Xin's eyes slowly became misty, and the hatred in her eyes deepened, "What about Jiang Lihai? Are you just going to let him go like this?"
"Of course not." Yun Qin looked at her with a bit of sadness in her eyes, "But can I tell this to the emperor? Will he completely believe me? If he has any doubts or grudges, I will have no way to survive."
As she spoke, Yun Qin suddenly smiled at Rong Xin, her eyes slightly curved, but a tear rolled down the corner of her eye.
"Sister, have you heard this saying?" She smiled and said, "If you can't beat them, just join them."
"There is also a saying that goes, 'Disintegrate the enemy from within.'"
When she said this, her eyes showed some sharpness and her tone was slightly deep, "I will always find a chance to make sure that the Su Mei people will never be able to turn things around again."
Rong Xin sat down after hearing this, held her hand, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I deliberately didn't tell Lady Su how I escaped from Jiang Lihai in the palace. Given her personality, she would definitely want to find out, and she would definitely find a chance to meet Jiang Lihai."
"Jiang Lihai may not be willing to accept this. He may use the excuse of delivering gifts to meet with the Su Meiren. I want to hear the content of their conversation then."
Yun Qin said coldly: "We can confirm whether the Queen was involved and what her attitude is. If she instructed Jiang Lihai, then there will be many obstacles to getting rid of him."
"Okay, Xiao Dezi and I will definitely pay attention to what's happening in the main hall." Rong Xin nodded.
"There is one more thing you need to do, sister."
"What is it?"
Yun Qin's fingers slid lightly along the edge of the cup, her face gradually turning colder, "Didn't Su Yiyan always say before that it was the baby in Lady Liu's belly that killed her baby? I haven't listened to her recently."
Just by hearing the voice, Rong Xin understood what she meant, and her eyes turned cold. "The Queen Mother often invites nuns from Zehua Temple to come to the palace to preach. As long as they give enough incense money, they are also willing to preach to other masters in the palace. Maybe she would like to ask the nuns to do some calculations?"
The two looked at each other, and a sneer appeared on the corners of their mouths.
Yun Qin held her hand tightly and whispered, "Be careful."
"Don't worry." Rong Xin shook her head slightly, with a genuine smile on her face, and said, "As long as she is willing to see the nun from Zehua Temple, it means that she has long believed that the child in Lady Liu's belly is unlucky for her. No matter what the nun says, she will think it is evidence. I don't need to spend much effort, and naturally there will be no trace left."
Yun Qin nodded slightly, her expression softened a little, revealing a bit of fatigue. She leaned her head on Rong Xin's shoulder and whispered, "If it weren't for my sister, I really don't know how I would have managed to get through this."
Rong Xin gently touched the end of her hair and sighed, "If it weren't for you, I would have been killed by Su Yiyan. There would be no need for us to say these things."
"You must be injured. Let me take a look at it for you."
Yun Qin did not refuse and whispered, "I want to take a shower. Sister, please get some water for me."
"good."
In the mist, Yun Qin immersed herself in the water, looked at the bruises on her arms, and said to Rong Xin: "Sister, do you know who saved me?"
"Not the Guards."
Yun Qin nodded and asked, "He said his name is Shen Che. Have you heard of him? Is he Shen Danying's brother?"
"I've vaguely heard of it, it seems to be this name." Rong Xin was a little surprised, "It turned out to be him."
Yun Qin leaned her head against the edge of the bathtub, slightly raised her head and looked at the beams, whispering: "That day I followed Su Yiyan to the Queen's Palace to pay my respects, and I didn't know if Shen Danying was there. I can't repay General Shen in any way, but I hope I can repay Shen Danying a little."
Rong Xin helped her comb all her hair back and rinsed it slowly with water. "I have met Shen Danying a few times. She is pretty and quiet." She said with gratitude. "I will be more respectful to her next time I see her."
Yun Qin waved her hand lightly and said with a smile: "No need to do that. Su Yiyan is now the Queen Mother's person. If you treat her like this, people will probably suspect that you have ulterior motives."
"That's true." Rong Xin sighed.
"Shen Daying is very popular now. I don't know how many people in the palace are eyeing her. General Shen is so popular in the court. The Queen Mother must be eyeing Shen Daying as well. With her in this situation, I am afraid there will be a chance for me to repay her."
After Yun Qin finished speaking, she sank to the bottom of the water, leaving only jasmine petals floating on the surface.
