Jin Yuyan had been confined to Qixiang Palace before. She was worried about Yongsheng, so she bribed Yongsheng's wet nurse to find out how Yongsheng was doing in Cining Palace. This action violated the taboo of the empress dowager.

It is natural for a mother to be reluctant to give up her child. The Queen Mother had experienced the same thing before, but now the Queen Mother cannot empathize with Jin Yuyan.

She even replaced all the wet nurses that Jin Yuyan chose for Yongsheng, so she was furious when she found out that Jin Yuyan bribed the wet nurse.

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, this was Jin Yuyan challenging her authority and was suspected of provoking discord between the grandfather and grandson.

Jin Yuyan did this while the child was still young. Who knows what she will instill in the Fourth Prince in the future. Zhen Huan didn't want to do things in vain, helping others raise a son in vain and then being blamed by the mother and son.

But the Queen Mother felt it was a pity to let Yongsheng go like this. In that case, Jin Yuyan's existence would be an eyesore.

Things went smoothly, and Jin Yuyan died soon after. This move not only allowed the Queen Mother to regain control of Bai Ruiji, but also completely controlled the Fourth Prince.

After all, Jin Yuyan is dead, and the only one Yongcheng can rely on is the Queen Mother.

The only thing that made the Queen Mother uneasy was that Jingyun might have heard her conversation with Fujia. Jingyun was still young and would not understand even if she heard it, but she was afraid that the child would learn the words after returning, and Concubine Yi and the Queen would definitely understand.

Zhen Huan had someone test the Queen and confirmed that Jing Yun hadn't said anything to the Queen. But she wasn't so sure about Concubine Yi.

It just so happened that Qingying, who had returned to the palace, helped her. Jingyun came to Cining Palace yesterday, and Zhen Huan thought it was Huang Qiying's idea.

So yesterday, Fujia went to the Yangxin Palace and successfully made Qingying suffer punishment. In return, Huang Qiying and Jingyun naturally had to satisfy the Queen Mother.

Back to the story, Jingyun actually didn't hear anything, but the expressions of the Queen Mother and Fujia were not right at that time.

Later, Jin Yuyan died. Jingyun guessed something, and in order to prevent the Queen Mother from continuing to keep an eye on her and Huang Qiying, she simply went to the Queen Mother to ask for a favor.

She hadn't discussed this with Huang Qiying, but she believed Huang Qiying would understand. That's why they were at the Cining Palace today.

After some pulling and testing, Huang Qiying gave the Queen Mother a reassurance.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I and Jingyun know nothing.

Concubine Jin, under house arrest, refused to repent and attempted to scheme against Concubine Mei through a self-torture scheme, ultimately suffering the consequences. "I wonder how Yu-shi raised her daughter, teaching me that the Emperor should write a letter to the Li Dynasty to reprimand him."

“Well, Concubine Jin was born into the Yu clan, and her death was not only a matter for the harem, but also involved the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

"I cannot ask about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but she first murdered the heir to the throne, then staged and staged this drama to disrupt the harem, causing the Fourth Prince to lose his mother and causing the Emperor great distress. As a concubine, she has disappointed both me and the Emperor."

"The Fourth Prince is also pitiful, having to deal with such a mother, but fortunately he still has you, the Royal Madam, who loves him."

Zhen Huan was relieved. Huang Qiying not only agreed to help her cover up Jin Yuyan's death, but also promised her that she would not let the emperor take Yongsheng away again.

"Hey~ Yongsheng, the most fortunate thing is that his royal father loves him. I am old and useless. I am tired after talking to you for a while." As she said this, she put down the firewood and picked up the teacup to drink tea to moisten her throat.

"It's my fault. I only wanted to say some sweet words to the Queen Mother, but I didn't think to disturb her nap. I deserve a beating.

Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and rest. I will take my leave."

"Hmm." The Queen Mother's "hmm" wasn't a very happy one. She said she was old but it was just an excuse, but Huang Qiying didn't deny it, which showed that she didn't want to flatter her. She revealed that she didn't want to get too involved with her.

Huang Qiying pretended not to notice her displeasure and calmly withdrew. Zhen Huan stared at the seat where she had sat with a cold look in her eyes. "Queen, is Concubine Yi really that worthy of your loyalty?"

When Huang Qiying came out of the Cining Palace, she saw Chunchan at a glance.

"Miss!"

"Why are you here? Is there something wrong in the palace?"

Chun Chan bowed and shook her head, "Your Majesty, there's nothing going on in our palace, but the one in Jingren Palace had a quarrel with the Emperor."

"That's normal. The emperor will be eager to get close to you again in a few days. No, judging from your expression, is their quarrel this time because of me?" Otherwise, Chunchan would not be waiting for her here.

"Your Majesty is intelligent. I heard that Xian agreed to suspect that you were involved in Concubine Jin's death and suggested that the Emperor bring you to the Ministry of Punishment for strict interrogation. She also said that Eunuch Jinzhong was unfaithful to the Emperor and that the Emperor could not find any evidence that you harmed Concubine Jin because Eunuch Jinzhong was covering it up for you." Chunchan's heart trembled when she said this.

Huang Qiying was speechless. She was worthy of being Qingying who had Ruyi's memories. Isn't this something only Ruyi could do?

"How ridiculous! Our queen was personally appointed as Consort Yi by the Emperor! She gave birth to five daughters for the Emperor and raised the eldest prince. Not only did she frame the queen without any evidence for just a promise, she even had the audacity to ask the queen to go to the Ministry of Punishment! Who does she think she is?" Musk Moon was furious.

"The Ulanara clan boasts of their noble family background and their childhood friendship with the emperor, so it's not surprising that they would say this.

What does the Emperor say?

"The Emperor trusted the Empress and would not commit such a blunder. He reprimanded Xianying and told her not to talk nonsense. However, Xianying insisted that the Emperor imprison you in the Ministry of Punishment, and she even knelt for a long time. The Emperor could not persuade her, and finally said, 'Kneel if you like,' and left in anger.

As for the matter of Eunuch Jinzhong, the Emperor also didn't believe it, saying that Xian agreed because she was still suffering from hysteria, and told her to get treatment if she was sick and not to let her imagination run wild.

"Did the emperor really say that?" This doesn't sound like a scumbag dragon.

"It's true, my lady. I dare not talk nonsense about such things."

Musk Moon was also puzzled. "The Emperor has always been very fond of Xian, and she has been given the cold shoulder more than once. Why is he being so rude to her this time?"

"Because Xian promised her," Chun Chan said with difficulty. She lowered her already low voice even more before continuing, "Xian promised her to call the emperor a tyrant!"

"Just because the Emperor trusts me, he didn't follow her lead and have me arrested and taken to the Ministry of Punishment?"

"Yeah," Chunchan nodded incoherently. She pointed to her head and said, "Xian agreed, maybe, but this place hasn't recovered yet."

Huang Qiying glanced at her disapprovingly and said, "Okay, stop being weird. There are some things you can't say casually. We're still out there."

Hearing this, Chunchan covered her mouth guiltily and looked around. Seeing that there was no outsider in front or behind, and the two young eunuchs from Xianfu Palace were following her two meters behind, she felt relieved and took her hand away.

"Your Majesty has taught me this, and I will remember it."

"Well, what about those snakes?"

"Uh... there's no conclusion yet. As soon as the Emperor arrived, Xian agreed and started pestering you. The Emperor was finally so angry that he left and probably forgot about it.

After the Emperor left, the Empress Dowager asked the imperial physician to take a good look at Xian Cheng. Xian Cheng refused to accept the request and this angered the Empress Dowager, who left.

Now the snake has been cleared away by the servants of Jingren Palace. I don't think anything can be found."

Huang Qiying felt relieved and asked again, "Did Concubine Mei go to Jingren Palace just now?"

"She went there, but the Empress didn't let her in, saying that Concubine Jin needed help.

The Empress is busy right now, the Imperial Concubine is unwell and can't help much, and you're busy helping the Empress with official duties, so let Concubine Mei go to Qixiang Palace to take care of them."

"She didn't make a fuss?"

"No, she immediately went to Qixiang Palace after the Empress said that. Xiao Dezi personally oversaw this matter."

When Hai Lan got into trouble before, the servants who served her were implicated and either beaten or killed, leaving a vacancy in the Jingren Palace. It was at this time that Xiao Dezi was placed there by Huang Qiying.

"That's it."

It seems that Qingning's loyalty to the Queen Mother is still questionable, and it is unknown how the Queen Mother chooses people. Whether it is Bai Ruiji, Qingning, or the future Yihuan and Qing Changzai, none of them are capable.

Huang Qiying and her servant remained silent for the rest of the journey. When they returned to Xianfu Palace, Lan Cui came forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Princess is back. She's been waiting for you for a while."
