Chapter 95 Further Intensification
The gate of Chunxi Palace.
Rong Xin was waiting anxiously, and when he saw Yun Qin coming back, he immediately went to meet her.
"What happened? Why are you back so late?"
Yun Qin had already taken off the veil on her face, and the heat on her face disappeared halfway.
She cursed Huo Jinchi again in her heart, then shook her head slightly at Rong Xin, "Nothing, just got delayed on the way. We'll talk about the details later, I'm going to change my clothes first."
Rong Xin then noticed that her clothes were a little messy and wrinkled, and her expression changed instantly, "Jiang Li..." She quickly lowered her voice, her face tense, and her eyes had already flashed with some fierceness, "He still dares to pester you?"
"It's not her." Yun Qin also lowered her voice, her eyelashes drooping, casting a shadow on her slightly red cheeks, "It's the emperor."
After saying this, she didn't even look at Rong Xin's expression. She quickly walked into the palace gate and went to the back hall to change clothes.
Rong Xin looked at her somewhat untidy steps and shook her head with a smile. It was rare to see her looking so helpless.
In the room, Yun Qin quickly changed her clothes and before leaving the room, she glanced at the white jade bracelet on the dressing table.
She paused, stared at it for a while, then looked away and walked out.
——
Come to the front hall.
Lady Su was writing something at her desk. When she saw Yunqin coming back, she asked casually, "Why did you take so long?" Then she noticed that she had changed her clothes and fixed her eyes on her, "You even had time to change your clothes?"
"To reply to the beauty, I met a blind man on the road who spilled water on me on the palace road. I went to change my clothes." Yun Qin replied in a low voice.
Lady Su then withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes and continued writing, and asked again: "Has the nun been sent to the Queen Mother's Palace?"
“It’s delivered.”
Yun Qin continued, "I met the imperial guards escorting the Queen Mother out of the palace. I think the Queen Mother will leave the palace soon. Wouldn't you go and see her off?"
"Have you met anyone else?" Su Meiren asked again, looking up.
Yun Qin shook her head.
"If they don't want to go, why should I go? Besides, the Queen Mother must be in a bad mood right now. If I go there, won't I just be asking for a lecture?"
"But the Emperor will probably go."
Hearing this, Lady Su was about to mock her: You haven't given up yet.
Then she continued, "That Lady Liu should also go. I heard that she had people stop the Emperor twice, but the Emperor ignored her. This might be a good opportunity for her."
After hearing this, Lady Su's face immediately darkened and she snorted. She didn't say anything, but just lowered her eyes and finished writing the letter. After folding it, she called Ting He in and asked her to send the letter to the Su family outside the palace.
She stood up and told Yun Qin, "Come and help me change clothes."
"Yes." Yun Qin lowered her eyes, showing no emotion at all.
After changing her clothes, Lady Su sat in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. A hint of disgust immediately appeared in her eyes.
What she hated was this face that was too similar to her mother's, especially since she had been eating more recently and her facial features had changed, making her look even more like her mother.
Whenever she looked at this face, she seemed to see her mother, her rigidity and conservatism, and how even when times were tough, she still had to act like a mistress and do housework every day.
Seeing her crying all day long because her father favored concubines and illegitimate sons, she looked so weak and incompetent!
She once swore that she would never become like her mother, but now her face is becoming more and more like her mother.
Lady Su bit her lip and said to Yun Qin, "Let Rong Xin come in!"
Yun Qin was a little confused, but still called Rong Xin in.
Lady Su looked at herself in the mirror and said to Rong Xin, "Give me the peach blossom makeup that is popular in the palace. The more gorgeous the better!"
"Yes." Rong Xin responded, exchanged a glance with Yun Qin, and went forward to put makeup on Lady Su.
According to Concubine Su's request, Rong Xin used makeup to change the shape of her eyebrows and eyes. After finally putting on makeup, her face became gorgeous and bold, and she no longer looked as timid as she did when she first entered the palace.
She stroked her temples gently, feeling satisfied with her unfamiliar look. She glanced at the gorgeous decorations on her head, but still not satisfied, so she picked out a phoenix hairpin from her jewelry and put it on her head.
Su Meiren was favored as soon as she entered the palace. Her appearance was actually very outstanding. Now she was dressed up, which made her even more eye-catching.
Glancing at Yun Qin in the mirror, she still felt jealous, but she knew that she could not defeat her. Since she couldn't play weak, she would be bold. Maybe she could catch the emperor's eye?
"Come on, follow me to Ninghe Palace."
Lady Su helped Rong Xin stand up, glanced at Yun Qin, and said, "Just stay in the palace."
Yun Qin knew that she didn't want her to see the emperor, and she sneered in her heart, but she pretended to be a little unwilling on her face, lowered her eyes and replied, "Yes."
The feeling of being able to control her made Lady Su reveal some pleasure on her face. She glanced at her again before holding Rong Xin's hand and leaving.
When passing by Yunqin, Rong Xin nodded slightly to her.
It's not like the two of them didn't need to communicate. Rong Xin was also very clear about Yun Qin's intention. She just wanted Concubine Su and Concubine Liu to meet and further intensify the conflict between them.
By then, she will definitely be there to "persuade" Lady Su.
An hour later, the Sumerian returned.
As expected, his face turned livid, and as soon as he returned to the hall, he smashed the tea set and shouted, "Bitch!"
Yun Qin had not seen such a scene, but from Rong Xin's description, it was enough to see her rage.
"After they had a brief argument, Concubine Liu suddenly started wailing while holding her stomach. The Queen Mother and the Emperor immediately became angry and reprimanded her. It is said that after the Emperor escorted the Queen Mother out of the palace, he also went to visit Concubine Liu in her palace."
Rong Xin sneered, "This time she has just shot herself in the foot. I don't even need to say anything more. I guess she wishes Miss Liu was dead."
Yun Qin leaned on the pillow, rubbed her forehead with her slender fingertips, sneered, and said, "It's good that you don't say anything in front of the emperor and the empress dowager, so as to avoid being noticed by others."
"Are you dizzy again?" Rong Xin frowned slightly and said, "Did the kitchen leave you no food again? Wait, I have to teach them a lesson!"
Yun Qin held her hand, "No need. We have been in the palace for so many years, don't we know it? Flattering the powerful and bullying the weak is common. What's the point of teaching them a lesson?"
"What blind people they are!" Rong Xin said angrily, "Su Yiyan must have privately told them not to be too polite to you."
Yun Qin snorted and laughed, "She won't let me off easily, and I won't let her off either. This is fair."
Rong Xin took a deep breath, and the anger on his face subsided, leaving only a chill, "What should we do next?"
"Hasn't she already sent the letter?" Yun Qin smiled softly and whispered, "Then let's just wait and see. It will definitely be a good show."
