Emperor Jin

Chapter 37
With a bang, the jade cup was thrown on the ground, and the tea splashed wet his robe, which was cold to the bone. He Yuan couldn't help shivering, and quickly argued: "Mother Mingjian, this time I will personally lead the team to the curtain. In the Xiaoyuan, I met three masters there, one was Li Huan's personal servant, the other two were unable to figure out the details, many of the ministers and subordinates were completely damaged, and they were able to retreat and report to the empress. It was a fluke."

"What do they look like?"

"One young man is tall and tall, while the other is a woman in white with a scarf covering her face."

The queen pondered for a moment and motioned him to back down.

She didn't call the maid, and lit the incense with her own hands. Anya's peaceful fragrance permeated the hall. The queen rubbed her temples, feeling a little irritated.

"Everything is seamless, except for those account books, no one knows..."

Her voice was low and ethereal, as if she was talking in a dream.

The dense smog made the sleeping hall even darker. The queen stared into the depths of the hall, only to feel that there seemed to be a star-like eyes looking at her with a sneer.

"Jin Yuan...you are dead, you can't do anything to me anymore..."

the Queen murmured.

She resolutely extinguished the candle, and a blue smoke curled before her eyes——

"I will be the mother of the world, and I will go down in history forever... No one can shake me, because I have already mastered all the trump cards!"

Her voice was low, but it was as sonorous as the sound of gold and stone.

Ji Xin sat in the room all night, time passed bit by bit, the morning sun finally rose, and the light golden and warm morning light shone through the window, and her heart fell into the bottomless abyss.

Your highness did not return all night!
She guarded this secret panic alone, her heart seemed to be bitten by a bug, and she felt a hollow ache.

She stood up in a daze, but broke the porcelain bowl on the table, making a crisp cracking sound.

This sound made her tremble all over, and then she remembered that Baojin was not on duty today.

She breathed a sigh of relief: there is no possibility of revealing her secrets at present.

But His Highness has always been bold and careful, and has never stayed outside for too long, and he has not returned today, could it be that something went wrong? !

She was thinking wildly, but she heard voices outside the alley, she jumped up like a frightened bird, hesitated, and still went out to find out what happened.

The North Fifth Institute is a desolate and dilapidated place, where there are some high-grade old court ladies and some low-level concubines who have never been lucky in their lives.

This place has always been inaccessible, but now the alley is full of noise, as if someone different has come.

Ji Xin looked from the gate of the courtyard, and saw a young woman in bright clothes, accompanied by the steward, walking towards this side.

"This is Miss Lin'er next to the Empress. She is under the order of the Empress, and Miss Xuan Yuran will see her."

The father-in-law in charge came to Ji Xin and said so and so on. Although he had a sixth-rank rank, he still looked respectful, presumably because the other party was a celebrity in front of the empress.

Lin'er's Qingbi Palace skirt is embroidered with five-color flowers and birds, which is beautiful and bright. It seems that she is quite favored by the queen.

She raised her face and gave a dry laugh, and said: "Please get up quickly, your lady, the empress is waiting!"

Ji Xin was so frightened that she was drenched in sweat instantly. She suppressed her fear and dizziness, and said calmly, "What a coincidence, my young lady went out for a walk early in the morning and hasn't come back yet!"

"Going out for a walk so early?!"

Lin'er glanced at her with a half-smile, half teasing, half serious and said: "Isn't it because I heard the imperial edict and felt guilty, hiding in the room and not daring to come out?"

Ji Xin only felt bitterness in her mouth, and forced herself to say: "How can this happen..."

Lin'er looked at her sharply, and found that she was a little flustered and became more suspicious. She chuckled and was about to go straight in, but someone in the alley said in surprise: "It's so many people gathered together. What happened?"

Lin'er turned her head after hearing the sound, and saw a group of five or six people meandering towards the alley. The first person was dressed in light-colored palace attire, with a graceful and calm demeanor—it was the newly sealed Xu Jieyu Yinghua.

She was supported by a maid on the left and right, and her body was stained with mud, and her feet seemed to be twisted, and she was slightly limping and uncomfortable.Ji Xin's eyes were sharp, and she recognized her master from afar, she couldn't help screaming and stepped forward, "Miss, what's wrong with you?!"

"Be careful!"

Xu Yinghua hastily ordered: "Your lady was walking in the imperial garden and accidentally twisted her foot. If I didn't happen to pass by, I don't know what kind of pain I would have suffered!"

Only then did Ji Xin breathe a sigh of relief, she stepped forward to help Bao Jin, and seeing her frown slightly, as if her foot pain was not fake, she couldn't help being surprised.

Lin'er hurried forward to meet Xu Jieyu, Xu Yinghua stepped aside, accepted the gift in vain, and said with a smile, "Miss Lin'er, why are you free to come here today?"

Lin'er explained the reason for her visit, glanced at Baojin's feet, and also felt embarrassed. Baojin was listening, and replied without hesitation: "Since the empress has an order, why don't you go, it's just that my legs and feet are inconvenient..."

For Xu Jieyu's sake, Lin'er had no choice but to let someone help her into a soft sedan chair, and the group headed towards Zhaoyang Palace.
