Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 116 Doubts

"Ah——" Liu Qimei screamed and woke up in sweat.

The maids came immediately, lit the lights, and wiped the queen's sweat. They knew that the queen had a nightmare, so they comforted her. The queen could no longer sleep, and immediately got up to go to King Jingyin's bedroom. As soon as she walked outside, she heard the footsteps of many people over there, which made her even more terrified.

"Did you find it?"

"no!"

"They won't escape here, will they?"

"Master Lu asked you to find it, so just find it. Why are you talking so much?!"

Liu Qimei heard the conversation between these people and felt that they were probably looking for someone. She wondered what had happened.

"It's strange. We still can't find them. Where did these two people escape to?" Lu Juefeng said.

When the queen heard it was Lu Juefeng's voice, she felt relieved and immediately sent someone to call him over for questioning.

Lu Juefeng reported to Liu Qimei the whole process of Sun Guye leading people to besiege Yin Ruchen with the "special warrant for preliminary arrest", and Yan Moying appearing and escaping over the wall with Yin Ruchen.

Liu Qimei was lost in thought, and thought of the dream she had just had. She suddenly lowered her voice and asked Lu Juefeng, "Flying needles and arsenic, were you the one who sent someone to do it?"

"Of course not! How could I dare to do anything beyond the request? If we get rid of Yin Ruchen before Your Majesty gets the third treatment, what will happen to Your Majesty's health? Even if I want to vent the queen's anger, I will not ignore Your Majesty!" Lu Juefeng replied.

"Really?" Liu Qimei's slightly suspicious look made Lu Juefeng a little anxious.

"It's absolutely true! I swear to heaven now that if I had asked my subordinates to do anything other than what the queen had given me, I would have died a miserable death!" Lu Juefeng said firmly. "Well, that's good... But... Are you sure your subordinates didn't do anything other than what you ordered?" Liu Qimei looked at Lu Juefeng, with a sharp look in her eyes that made others dare not lie to her.

"The subordinate I sent is usually very careful and cautious in his work and has never made any mistakes so far. He reported to me that after he and Yin Ruchen exchanged a few moves, he did not continue to attack, and Yin Ruchen did not fight back against him. He also said that after he conveyed the message, Yin Ruchen replied to him with a word, and then he left and never did anything else there." Lu Juefeng explained.

"What did Yin Ruchen say?" Liu Qimei really wanted to know.

"She said, 'I have never thought of getting close to His Majesty. You are overthinking it.'" Lu Juefeng relayed to Liu Qimei exactly what his subordinates had told him.

"Oh?" Liu Qimei asked doubtfully.

Lu Juefeng immediately replied, "You don't have to believe this. Everyone knows what the consequences will be if you admit that you want to get close to His Majesty in this palace. Even though Yin Ruchen is from the common people, he is not stupid enough to reveal all his motives for wanting to get close to His Majesty!"

"But..." Liu Qimei hesitated and said, "You just said that Yan Moying suddenly appeared at Yin Ruchen's residence and said something shocking. From your description, it seems that Yin Ruchen has an unusual relationship with Yan Moying?"

"I had the same feeling at that time. These two people are really not like ordinary friends..." Lu Juefeng told the truth.

"Like what?" Liu Qimei asked.

"Like...like a couple!" said Lu Juefeng.

"I had the same feeling when I listened to your narration just now. That is to say, it is very likely that she really has no intentions towards Your Majesty? And I am just overly suspicious?" Liu Qimei said.
