Chapter 88 Extreme Indifference
When the whole palace heard the news that the Queen Mother was going to leave the palace to go to Zehua Temple to meditate and escape the summer heat, everyone was shocked.
Yun Qin was naturally extremely surprised. At this time when the Emperor and the Gong family were at loggerheads, how could the Queen Mother possibly avoid it?
She didn't think that this happened because of her. It must be that the emperor and the queen mother had reached some kind of exchange of interests.
However, the Queen Mother's leaving the palace was a real good thing for Yun Qin.
It's like a huge mountain pressing down on one's head has been removed, allowing one to finally breathe easily.
But for Lady Su, this news was like a bolt from the blue. After all, she had just come to rely on the Queen Mother and was able to control Yun Qin with the help of her power. If the Queen Mother left, how could she control Yun Qin?
So, as soon as she heard the news, she went to Ninghe Palace immediately.
She didn't come back until noon. Not long after she came back, Rong Xin hurriedly knocked on Yun Qin's door.
Yun Qin opened the door, but before she could ask, she heard Rong Xin say, "Jiang Lihai is here! The two of them dismissed the palace maids and are talking in the palace."
"Let's go and take a look!" Yun Qin's eyes showed coldness.
In front of the main hall, Xiao Dezi was guarding the door. When he saw the two people coming, he immediately lowered his voice and said, "The two aunts have been invited away by our people. They can't come back for a while. You go in. I'll stay here."
"Thank you." Yun Qin thanked in a low voice.
Xiao Dezi shook his head and motioned for them to go in quickly.
"The two of you make too big a conspicuous sight, so I'll also guard the door." Rong Xin did not follow in, but nodded slightly to Yun Qin.
Yun Qin also nodded and walked silently into the hall.
Su Meiren and Jiang Lihai were talking in the side room, with the veil only half open.
Yun Qin stood outside the gauze partition and listened carefully to what was happening inside.
"…It's all because of your uselessness that you let her get away! Queen, do you really not know about this? The Queen Mother is leaving the palace soon, and the only one I can rely on is the Queen. If she knew that I was secretly conspiring with you, she would probably not help me anymore."
"Don't scare yourself, my beauty. Didn't the Queen ask me to deliver something to you? Besides, if the Queen knew about it, would I be able to stand in front of you?"
Jiang Lihai's voice was flattering. "Besides, even though the Queen Mother has left the palace, it doesn't mean that she doesn't have any more people in the palace. It's still easy to deal with a little palace maid. If Yun Qin is really dishonest, you can just send a message to the Queen Mother. Don't worry too much."
The Sumerian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked: "What happened at that time..."
After hearing this, Yun Qin slowly left the hall.
As soon as they walked out of the hall, Rong Xin came to meet them immediately, while Xiao Dezi stayed where he was, observing the movements around him.
"Let's go back to the room."
Yun Qin didn't say much at the moment. She nodded to Xiao Dezi and took Rong Xin back to the room.
Only after sitting on the couch did Yun Qin completely relax, and a hint of coldness appeared on her face.
"Is this matter related to the Queen?" Seeing her expression, Rong Xin asked immediately.
Yun Qin shook her head slightly and said, "From what Jiang Lihai said, the Queen seems to be unaware of this, so naturally this matter was not planned by her and Concubine Su."
After hearing this, Rong Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "If the Empress hadn't been involved, the Queen Mother would have left the palace by now, and we would have been able to deal with Jiang Lihai and Su Yiyan better."
Yun Qin looked at her, nodded, and smiled.
But in her heart she felt that the Queen might be aware of the situation, and might even know exactly what Su Meiren and Jiang Lihai were planning.
Jiang Lihai is a member of the Fengyi Palace. The empress manages the harem in an orderly manner. Could it be that she cannot control her own Fengyi Palace?
Not to mention, a palace maid who worked for someone unknown had sneaked into her palace before and almost caused her to suffer a great loss.
Even if there were some loopholes before, after learning this lesson, Fengyi Palace should be solid as a rock now.
How could the Queen not know Jiang Lihai's daily whereabouts? Wouldn't she be suspicious of the wound on Jiang Lihai's face?
Yunqin doesn't believe it!
The only explanation is that the Queen knew everything from beginning to end, but she didn't care. She didn't care whether the eunuchs around her bullied the palace ladies, whether her reputation was ruined, and she didn't care about her own life or death.
This is the utmost indifference and contempt of a superior.
In the eyes of the queen, he was just a weed and an ant, not worthy of her attention at all.
Yun Qin felt angry, angrier than ever before. One day, she would tear off the empress's noble skin and see whether she was a true god who was innocent as she is now, or an ugly devil who despised human life after losing this skin!
"What's wrong?" Seeing her cold expression, Rong Xin asked immediately.
Yun Qin came back to her senses and smiled at her, "Nothing, I was just thinking, I heard that Master Huiyuan would still come back to the palace on the day the Queen Mother left the palace, so we don't have to change our plan."
Her eyes turned gloomy and she sneered, "Now that the Queen Mother has left the palace, no one can control Su Yiyan anymore."
