"Miss Fifth, why did you appear here?" Honglian lowered her voice and showed great surprise at Lin Yingxue who suddenly appeared.

"This matter is a long story. I have something to ask the Empress, is the house safe now?" Lin Yingxue asked while walking towards the queen.

Honglian, who was following Lin Yingxue, nodded, "There are only me and Qinglian in the room. Miss Fifth may ask directly if you have anything to say."

When Honglian answered, Lin Yingxue had already walked to the queen, "Yingxue came to the palace to visit the queen two days ago, but was stopped outside the Mingyue Palace. Is the queen in good health? I have heard about the prince. Yingxue is here to inquire about the situation and see if there is any place to help the queen and the prince."

Lin Yingxue was afraid that people outside would notice it after a long time, so she asked these many questions.

Seeing Lin Yingxue's serious and anxious appearance, the queen instantly burst into tears, "Good boy, you are still kind and kind. But you are a woman in the boudoir, you can't control this matter. Knowing too much is not good for you..."

The queen held Lin Yingxue's hand and seemed to have grown older in her teens. If she hadn't been familiar with the queen enough, Lin Yingxue wouldn't even dare to recognize the white-haired middle-aged woman in front of her, the graceful and luxurious queen who was originally a mother in the world.

"Empress, although Yingxue is a woman in a boudoir, there are many people outside who care about the prince. They also need to know the inside story and the truth, otherwise how can we know where to help the prince?" Although the person Lin Yingxue wanted to assist the prince the most was Murong Jun, but after knowing the prince for so long, Lin Yingxue has already regarded the prince as a friend in her heart. Now that something happened to the prince, she cannot refuse to save her.

Lin Yingxue's words touched the queen, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes, "Actually, I can't speak in the palace now..."

As the queen told her, her expression gradually became bitter. "The emperor's heart is now all with Xue Ji. Because the emperor is too addicted to beauty, it is desolate to political affairs. So I said to the emperor twice. The emperor was dissatisfied with me. That day, Xue Ji and I met in the Imperial Garden. Because she was arrogant and spoke badly, I taught her some lessons."

"Unexpectedly, the emperor sent an order that night, saying that I was in poor health and asked me to recuperate in Mingyue Palace, and I had to take half a step out of Mingyue Palace for nothing... Haha, isn't this just putting me under house arrest in disguise?" The queen showed a mocking smile on her face, "I thought it was okay at the time - as the queen, I had to persuade the emperor to have some behaviors, but this would make the emperor separate from me. Now I am locked up and I can't control many things. Isn't this a relief for me?"

"But I didn't expect that some people's hearts were so vicious!" Finally, when it came to the point of the matter, a trace of hatred flashed across the queen's kind face. "It was not long after the prince finally lifted the ban, they set their sights on the prince again, saying in my name that I was seriously ill, saying that Xue Ji was trying to harm me, and asked the prince to come to the palace to save me."

"The prince has always been filial, and he will naturally not be indifferent when he heard this news. So he rushed into the palace in the middle of the night. As a result, he encountered an obstruction from the imperial guards halfway through the road. The prince resisted without any help... When the emperor heard this news, Xue Ji and others were fanning the flames in the emperor's ears, so it was said that the prince wanted to rebel... so what happened later."

After listening to the queen's story, Lin Yingxue recovered for a long time. There were only two things she could be sure of now. One was that other people in the royal family had already started to take action and wanted to pull the prince down. The other was that this plan had begun as early as when the queen was under house arrest.

As for whether the second prince, fifth prince or others were planning this incident, she is not sure yet.

"Empress?" Perhaps the queen hadn't gone out for too long, and the people outside felt something was wrong, so a palace maid asked outside.

When the people inside the house heard the sound, they were all shocked.

"I have already understood this matter. Don't worry, Empress. I will definitely find a way to save the prince. You must take care of yourself in the palace." After Lin Yingxue's explanation of the matter, she hurriedly jumped out of the window.

Shortly after Lin Yingxue went out, a palace maid came in to check the situation. If Lin Yingxue took another step late, she might have been spotted.

After leaving Mingyue Palace, Lin Yingxue did not see the eunuch who was receiving it, so she had to walk alone in the direction outside the palace, but what she didn't expect was that before she could reach the palace gate, she met someone she didn't want to see.

"Stop!" Lin Yingxue didn't expect that in such a large palace, she was so careful that she actually met the leading eunuch who disciplined her today.

"Father-in-law." Lin Yingxue bowed and felt a little irritated.

The eldest father-in-law was obviously impressed by Lin Yingxue. When he saw Lin Yingxue, he couldn't help but circle around Lin Yingxue, "Have you sent all the clothes of Empress Xueji?"

The eldest father-in-law's sudden question made Lin Yingxue slightly stunned, but fortunately she had always reacted quickly. Therefore, she quickly answered: "Go back to my father-in-law, I've sent it."

The eldest father-in-law saw that Lin Yingxue was humble and polite, and his dissatisfaction looked a little light, but he still looked arrogant as he spoke. "Then have you been the leader assigned you other tasks? Where are you going now?"

The eldest grandfather’s questions were sharper. Lin Yingxue thought about it and originally wanted to answer that he was entrusted by his master to do something outside the palace, but when he remembered this extraordinary moment, those who could enter and exit the palace at will must not be simple people. If she said this, she might be exposed. So she thought about it and changed her words: "The slave has nothing else at hand. Now the slave is planning to see if there are any other arrangements in charge."

"Is that so? I'm short of staff. If you're fine, come with me." The eldest father-in-law heard Lin Yingxue say this, so he ordered without hesitation.

Lin Yingxue wanted to refuse, but because the character she pretended to be was gentle and had no room for rejection. Therefore, she had to respond: "Yes".

Perhaps Lin Yingxue did not leave an impression of being able to do the eldest grandfather before, so what she did this time was the same - delivering food.

However, it is different from the food she gave to the queen before. The dishes she gave this time were real delicacies, and these foods were given to the emperor.

——The emperor held a banquet in the palace, and the wine, food and food were piled on the table like no money. He remembered Murong Jun and his soldiers who were sacrificing their lives to resist foreign enemies at the border, and the refugees he met on the way to Miaocheng... Lin Yingxue couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with the extravagant and wasteful king in front of him.

After Lin Yingxue followed the other eunuchs to get things up, she stood aside, waiting for a while to come forward to pour wine for all the beauties and concubines.

After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere and scene in the hall became more and more unbearable. Listening to the delicate gasping sound, watching the disheveled concubines circling around the emperor like cartilage shrimps... If Lin Yingxue hadn't known in advance that she was in the palace, she would have thought she had accidentally entered a brothel.

"My beloved concubine, I am happy today. I want to watch you dance. Why don't you go and dance a song for me?" The charming woman who was hugged by the emperor at this time was Xue Ji, the favorite concubine who was recently favored by the emperor.

Lin Yingxue quietly looked at the emperor's direction, and saw that the favorite concubine named Xue Ji heard this, she poured a glass of wine and gently opened her lips and crossed it to the emperor's mouth. Then she twisted her slender waist and stood up. The emperor seemed to be very fond of Xue Ji's style. Not only did she not dislike Xue Ji at all, but she also licked her lips with pleasure.

As Xue Ji got up, the musicians suddenly changed the tune, and the song began to become light and ambiguous, while Xue Ji twisted her charming body in such music.

The unrestrained twisting appearance in front of him made Lin Yingxue think of the brightly colored beautiful snake for no reason. The emperor is now the prey that the beautiful snake is targeting. However, the emperor thought he had picked up the treasure and did not realize that he had become a pawn in the hands of others.

Lin Yingxue frowned and was about to look away, but at this moment she had some unusual appearance on Xue Ji's half-naked smooth back.
