Yin Qu looked at the fainted Wu Chi, and the hand holding the long stick became tighter and tighter. The eunuch holding the stick was trembling with fright due to Yin Qu who was covered in cold air. He immediately knelt down to salute. Yin Qu's eyes were full of Wu Chi's pale face.

There was also that drop of clear tear that streaked down the cheek, which made my heart feel uncomfortable.

When Yun Zhiyan saw that there was no movement, he went out to take a look. He saw Yin Qu, whom he had never met before, appearing in his palace. He was even more surprised. In this situation, was he protecting this little palace maid?

"A rare guest, General Yin"

Yin Qu placed the long stick in front of the kneeling eunuch, calmed down his anger, smiled, and saluted Yun Zhiyan

Outside the palace gate, Song Lin and Qian Lian rushed over one after another, gasping for air.

Yin Qu smiled

"I came to the Xiyun Palace of Concubine Yun to explain the misunderstanding."

"Oh? General Yin came here in such a hurry, is it because of this little palace lady?"

There was a trace of anger in Yun Zhiyan's beautiful eyes. She looked at Qian Lian who was holding her legs and still panting. What did she understand?

"Concubine Yun, please don't misunderstand me. Wu Chi was raised by Grandma, the steward of the General's Mansion. Grandma is old and has no children, so she only cares about Wu Chi. The General is grateful to Grandma for the General's Mansion for most of her life, so she can't

Stand back and watch”

Songlin stepped forward, saluted, and explained

"Since you are here to explain the misunderstanding, don't go there in vain."

Song Lin got permission to continue talking.

"I saw that palace maid when I went to the Huanyi Bureau for my humble position, General Na Fei. It was the Huanyi Bureau that Princess Ming asked me to go to." Song Lin pointed at Yingxue who was still kneeling in the palace. Yingxue's face was ashen and she knew she couldn't escape.

.

Yun Zhiyan frowned slightly, for the sake of a little palace maid, he couldn't drag more people into it, and Yin Qu's victory in suppressing the bandits was the occasion of divine favor, let alone offending him.

"That's all. Since General Yin is your guarantor, I can only believe it. Qianlian, you have worked hard too. Take Wuchi back and raise him well."

Yun Zhiyan waved his hands sleepily and walked inside.

Qian Lian immediately stepped forward to help Wu Chi and thanked Yin Qu with his eyes. The matter was over and Yin Qu couldn't stay any longer. After looking at Wu Chi a few more times, he left.

Wu Chi opened his eyes slightly and felt that he was extremely uncomfortable sleeping. His jaw and neck hurt. He was lying on his stomach. Wu Chi wanted to turn over and lie down to make it more comfortable, but when his butt moved, he turned back to the original position in pain.

"Don't move, I just gave you the medicine." Qian Lian came in with a bowl of medicine and gave it to Wu Chi

"Aunt Qian, can you save me?" Wu Chi didn't see the person's appearance clearly, and in his mind he could only hear the intermittent conversation between Qian Lian and the medical officer.

Qianlian sighed

"General Yin saved you"

"General Yin?"

Wu Chi wiped away the blur of the black shadow in the scene in his mind and replaced it on Yin Qu's face, and his heart beat inexplicably.

"I originally went to the Huanyi Bureau to see if anyone could testify, and then I saw Song Lin there. Song Lin said that he was of low status and could not enter the inner palace, so he had to go to General Yin. When General Yin heard this

Coming right away."

Wu Chi felt complicated in his heart. Although he was spared the beating, he and Yin Qu were inexplicably connected. This was an unfavorable situation whether looking forward or backward, and it also dragged Yin Qu into the water.

He knew how it would be spread, and if it spread to His Majesty, it would affect his marriage.

Wu Chi buried his head in drinking the medicine. His mouth was bitter and his heart was bitter. The reason was Yingxue.

"Where's Yingxue? If you call her here, I have to fight her."

Wu Chi's face was full of resentment and he beat the bed with his hands.

"Concubine Yun was rewarded with 50 yuan and rushed to the clothing bureau."

Wu Chi said nothing and continued to drink. He deserved his punishment.

Yun Zhiyan was making tea, sometimes coming closer to smell it, and sometimes pouring water.

Qian Lian knelt on the ground, waiting for Yun Zhiyan to speak. Yun Zhiyan's voice was lazy.

"Qianlian, this is not your style. You are a smart man. If you want to save Wu Chida, you can come to me to plead for mercy. You know that I will give you this favor. You are just taking this opportunity to try Yin.

Qu’s attitude toward Wu Chi?”

"Concubine Yun knows what Qian Lian is thinking." Qian Lian continued expressionlessly, "General Yin may be different from him."

"Since you are interested in Wuchi and have taught her well, please send her to me."

Yun Zhiyan tasted the tea, her face was full of pain, and she stepped back.

"Next time you'll make the tea."

Seven days later, Wu Chi could already run and jump. She was extremely bored staying in the palace maid's courtyard. Every day she just turned over the soil and sprinkled water on the flowers in the backyard.

Today was different from usual. Qian Lian only asked Wu Chi to follow him. Wu Chi recognized that this was the direction to the main hall, and the uneasiness from a few days ago came back to his heart.

"Aunt Qian, what did I do wrong?"

Qian Lian walked in front without replying, Wu Chi asked again and again

"In other words, what will happen to my butt today?"

Qian Lian turned around and looked at Wu Chi in disbelief.

"From now on, you will work as an errand for Concubine Yun."

After finally hearing some happy news in these days, Wu Chi unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and almost laughed out loud. This would bring him one step closer to hairpins. It was great.

Yun Zhiyan didn't like to go out. Except when he had to pay respects to the Queen, he spent the rest of his time in Xiyun Palace. This also gave Wu Chi a chance to see Liu Ying. Yun Zhiyan would sometimes go for a walk in the backyard, and sometimes make tea.

There are usually no other activities, but Yanhuang comes occasionally, once every ten days and a half.

The only thing Wu Chi knew about Yun Zhiyan's big hobby was food, which was one of the important reasons why Qian Lian was favored. No wonder Qian Lian was in charge of the kitchen alone, and most of the dishes were cooked by Qian Lian.

Following Yun Zhiyan for a while, Wu Chi began to understand Yun Zhiyan's habits. He could usually know what Yun Zhiyan wanted and where he wanted to go at the last moment, and then make arrangements properly.

Yun Zhiyan covered her nose with a handkerchief, and Wu Chi stepped forward to light the incense. Yun Zhiyan laughed.

"You are quite qualified as my personal palace maid. Hey, it would be better if you could relieve my boredom."

Yun Zhiyan flipped through the book in his hand, feeling bored and irritated

Wu Chi got smart and asked tentatively.

"Concubine Yun, do you like listening to books? I often go to listen to them when I'm in the shop, and I know how to talk about them."

"Oh? It's boring anyway, so just give it a try."

Yun Zhiyan held the table with his hands, smiled, and instantly became interested.

This is what Wu Chi is good at. After a while, Yun Zhiyan would laugh, cry, and even clap his hands when he heard that he was fascinated. Later, he would often bring Wu Chi around and sometimes reward him with something.

Yun Zhiyan often asked Wu Chi to tell the story to the three of them when they were on good terms with the Queen and Concubine Ming. Wu Chi liked to tell them more and more that the Queen was kind, Concubine Ming was also very gentle, and Concubine Yun was not like the rumors.

Although she is so scary, she is the easiest person to get along with among the three. It is no wonder that Xuanniang said that the queen can get close to her.

It's just that I didn't find a chance to ask about the hairpin that Concubine Yun wore every day, the hairpin that was the same as her mother's, how to speak.

Inside the meeting hall

The ministers talked about the recent events.

"Can Xiao Yushi find any clues that Tianyu was responsible for the banditry?"

Feng Yi suddenly turned his attention to Xiao Heng, who had not published a single word.

"General Fengyi, Wei Chen has written down the details of the investigation on the petition paper and submitted it to His Majesty. Among the people and objects seized from General Yin, they all point to Tianyu."

Xiao Heng looked at Yin Qu with a cheerful smile, and the corner of Yin Qu's mouth curled up. As soon as Xiao Heng intervened, he relied on the imperial order to transfer all the people and objects captured in Liucheng to the Yushi Mansion. He could not verify it at all.

.

Feng Yi was so angry that he hammered the table

"I knew it! Tianyu, we didn't go to him to settle the score, but he came to harass us first. It's extremely abominable."

Emperor Yan's face was sullen, and his heart was full of anger, especially when there were multiple pieces of paper on the table writing about the casualties in Liucheng and the total annihilation of the city guard.

Yin Qu looked at Emperor Yan and said

"Your Majesty, I have asked Commander Su to stay in Liucheng for rectification. I believe that the former prosperity will be restored soon."

"But my suffering in Liucheng cannot be in vain, and I cannot let others bully me. Queen Yan's birthday will be in fifteen days, and the Crown Prince of Haisheng Kingdom has already submitted a letter of visit. By then, we will know which of Chihua and Tianyu will exist."

Emperor Yan breathed heavily and looked resolutely

Everyone in the audience looked at each other with their own thoughts.

Yin Qu clenched his hands. If nothing was done to stop him, Chi Hua and Tian Yu would be destroyed again. Emperor Yan was blinded by hatred and exploited by Hai Sheng. This move was difficult to pull off.

The atmosphere in the field was solemn, and no one dared to speak.

A eunuch bowed his body and pushed open the door. "Your Majesty, the Queen, along with Concubine Ming and Concubine Yun, are here to deliver some snacks."

When Emperor Yan heard about the queen, he just breathed a sigh of relief. The queen was gentle and kind, and she could always be by his side in difficult times.

Empress Yan walked in front, Concubine Ming and Concubine Yun walked side by side behind, followed by Ming Zhuxuan, who unconsciously blushed when she saw Yin Qu.
