When Qin Rubing saw this scene, she felt a little surprised.

At this moment, a maid beside the queen suddenly stepped forward and pushed the kneeling maid hard.

The palace maid was caught off guard and her body suddenly fell forward and fell heavily to the ground, motionless.

When everyone saw this, they were horrified and cried out in surprise. The scene became chaotic for a moment.

Qi Siyi was startled and quickly took several steps back.

Qin Rubing glanced at her and the panic on her face didn't seem to be fake.

Qin Rubing turned her head again and stared at the palace maid lying on the ground.

She didn't go over, but secretly asked "Xiao Yu" to check it, trying to find some clues from her.

As an intelligent system, "Xiao Yu" has powerful perception and data analysis capabilities, and can conduct all-round monitoring and analysis of the surrounding environment and people.

"Nothing unusual, just an accident."

Qin Rubing felt somewhat confused when she heard "Xiao Yu's" answer.

She always felt that this matter was strange and it couldn't be just an accident, but for now she could only temporarily trust "Xiao Yu's" judgment.

Qin Rubing decided to sit back and wait to see what the queen would do next.

The power struggle in the palace is complex and changeable. If you easily expose your intentions, you may fall into a passive situation.

The best way is to remain calm and observe, waiting for the right time to act.

After a moment, the queen slowly said, "The maid was disrespectful in front of the emperor. Take her away and give her twenty canes."

As soon as the queen finished speaking, the guards came forward and dragged the maid out.

Qin Rubing walked quickly to the queen's side and asked softly, "Mother, this palace maid seems a little strange. Is there something wrong?"

The queen shook her head slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and bewilderment.

She whispered, "I'm not too sure, but this person does make me feel a little uneasy."

Qin Rubing's brows furrowed slightly, and her doubts grew even stronger, but she did not show those emotions and just nodded silently.

At this time, a guard came forward and said respectfully: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly, please rest assured, Queen."

The queen nodded in satisfaction, and then slowly said: "I am a little tired, I will go back to the palace to rest first."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Qin Rubing looked at the queen's receding back, lost in thought.

Qi Siyi looked at Qin Rubing, a trace of jealousy and unwillingness flashed in her eyes, and she said softly:

"The Crown Princess is really lucky to be able to survive like this."

Qin Rubing sneered in her heart. She certainly knew the deep meaning of Qi Siyi's words, but she did not show it.

She replied calmly: "Thanks to the queen." Her voice was calm and cold, without any ripples.

Qin Rubing thought to herself, this Concubine Yi is so lazy that she doesn't even bother to pretend in front of me?

She felt even more disgusted with Qi Siyi, but she also understood that arguing with such a person would only get herself into endless trouble.

So, Qin Rubing ignored her.

Qi Siyi disagreed and sneered, "The Crown Princess may not be so lucky every time."

Qin Rubing's heart moved. Could it be that she was the one who poisoned her?

She quietly gave "Xiaoyu" an order: "Xiaoyu, check if she has any poison on her body?"

"Yes, Master."

After a while, "Xiaoyu" replied: "No poison was found."

At this time, Qi Siyi had already turned around and left.

Qin Rubing asked again: "Xiaoyu, where is the palace maid just now?"

"It's no longer here."

Qin Rubing's eyes turned cold. It seemed that this palace maid had been silenced.

She turned her head to look in the direction where Qi Siyi left, and instructed "Xiao Yu" to pay close attention to Qi Siyi's every move.

The struggle in the palace becomes more and more intense. Qin Rubing knows that she must be careful in order to survive in this complicated palace.

The afternoon sun shines through the clouds, bringing a sense of laziness and tranquility to the entire palace.

Most of the nobles were enjoying their lunch break, and the palace was completely silent.

Qin Rubing strolled along the path in the palace, her footsteps almost inaudible.

The surrounding environment was unusually quiet, with only the sound of the breeze gently blowing through the leaves.

However, although everything seemed calm on the surface, Qin Rubing had a strange feeling in her heart.

She always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching her silently in the dark. The feeling of being watched followed her like a shadow, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

She couldn't help but quicken her pace, trying to get rid of this uneasy feeling.

But no matter where she went, that prying gaze seemed to always follow her.

Qin Rubing's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She looked around vigilantly, trying to find the person hiding in the shadows.

However, apart from the occasional maids and guards passing by, she did not notice any suspicious signs.

Is it just my illusion?

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere in the palace was too depressing that caused her to have hallucinations?

Qin Rubing took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner tension.

She decided to leave the palace as soon as possible to get rid of this weird feeling.

She looked back from time to time, but found nothing unusual.

She wondered in her heart, was she being too sensitive? Or was there really someone following her?

Finally, when Qin Rubing walked out of the palace, the strange feeling gradually disappeared.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves.

Although she looked calm on the surface, in reality, her heartbeat was so fast that she felt like she was suffocating.

She narrowed her eyes, and possible candidates flashed through her mind quickly.

She told herself to calm down and not let her emotions get the better of her.

However, when she thought of that mysterious man, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Who is it? She wondered to herself, with a hint of doubt and vigilance in her eyes.

She believed that her intuition was correct and that this person was definitely not an ordinary person.

She must find this enemy hiding in the dark, otherwise she will never be able to rest in peace.

There must be someone in the palace whose superpowers are no less than hers. She was very sure of this.

However, she didn't know who this person was or what his purpose was.

She only knew that if she didn't solve this problem quickly, she would be in endless trouble.

Could it be another time traveler?

This possibility suddenly occurred to her. If this was true, then things would become more complicated.

Because competition between time travelers tends to be more intense, and they all have unique skills and knowledge that can restrain each other.

If this mysterious person is also a time traveler, then she must be careful in dealing with him to avoid being tricked by him.

Afternoon, Prince’s Mansion, Chaoyang Garden.

Qin Rubing lay lazily on the comfortable recliner, holding a cup of steaming tea in her hand.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling the warm sunshine on her body, as if the whole world had become peaceful and beautiful.

She took a sip of tea gently, and the fragrance of the tea spread in her mouth, making her feel extremely comfortable and relaxed.

The sunlight shines into the room through the clear glass, casting a golden glow on everything.

Qin Rubing closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment of tranquility and warmth.

It's been calm these days.

However, Qin Rubing did not let her guard down, for she knew that this was only superficial calm and there might be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind it.

Qi Siyi was already very favored, and now her status is getting higher and higher.

This meant that she received more attention and preferential treatment than before, even more than any other concubine.

This situation may arouse jealousy and dissatisfaction from others, and also make Qi Siyi the focus of everyone's attention.

Just as Qin Rubing was thinking about her next plan, a mysterious letter was delivered to her...
