When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Xu Xinyue frowned, not quite satisfied. Just as she was about to speak, Qin Lingruo held her hand and spoke up for her: "The Queen's move is probably biased."

The Queen was displeased, but for Concubine Jing's sake she didn't argue with her and asked, "Why did the Seventh Princess say that?"

"When I returned here just now, I happened to meet the eunuch who kept the pets here. I heard that he suspected that there might be a noble person in danger. When I came to investigate, only Concubine Yun was here."

The Queen was puzzled: "So what? Didn't I just say that Xu Xinyue left for a while?"

Qin Lingruo let go of Xu Xinyue's hand, moved closer to He Yunyin, and pressed on:

"Oh, Concubine Yun, since you concluded at that time that I was the one who fell into the wolf's den, why did you tell the eunuch, 'It's okay here, let's investigate somewhere else'?"

"Empress Yun, could it be that you wanted to leave me to die without any help?"

Upon hearing this, Imperial Concubine Jing's expression changed drastically: "Empress Yun! What Ling'er said is true! Do you take it seriously? Do you take it seriously!?"

He didn't dare to think that if her Ling'er was really in trouble, this Concubine Yun would want to "step on" her Ling'er as a raft to set up a trap for others!

He Yunyin paused. She had never thought that Qin Lingruo would hold on to this.

At that time, she had some intention of making Qin Lingruo suffer, but she never thought that Qin Lingruo could still stand here intact!

"I……"

Qin Lingruo's voice was cold, she grabbed her wrist, and shouted with cold eyes:

"The one who really intends to murder the heir to the throne is not Yueyue, but you! The one who really wants me dead is you! Concubine Yun!"

Turning to the Queen, he said:

"That's why I said that the judgment on this matter was biased!"

"Empress, since Concubine Yun has previously claimed that this matter involves the heir to the throne, you must give me a satisfactory explanation."

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic, the Queen thought that today would not be a good day.

Relying on the fact that there are only two princesses in the palace and the pampering of Concubine Jing, Qin Lingruo has been lawless. Now that she has the handle in her hand, He Yunyin is bound to suffer physical pain!

Although the imperial concubine beside her didn't say anything, judging from her attitude, if she didn't get a satisfactory answer, given her temper, she might even report it to His Majesty.

The queen had no choice but to grit her teeth and stare at He Yunyin, saying, "Yun Fei, you knew about this but didn't report it. You intended to murder the heir to the throne. I'll punish you with 30..."

"Your Majesty is kindhearted, but I am not. I have always been vindictive, and 30 battles are not enough to relieve my resentment. If that is the case, let your Majesty judge this matter!"

After saying that, he was about to go to the Majesty's bedroom. He Yunyin called out in surprise, "Princess! I know my crime, I will obey your punishment, and I hope you will forgive me!"

He Yunyin knew that the Queen was intending to save her life.

Although Qin Lingruo is "spoiled", she also wins the favor of His Majesty. If she really makes trouble in front of His Majesty, she will probably die!

She turned her head with pleading eyes, hoping that the queen would plead for her.

"According to this princess, not only will you be caned, but I will also throw you into that wolf den to experience a lesson before I can calm down my anger."

Having caused Ah Leng such harm, it is only fair that an eye for an eye should be given back in full!

He Yunyin's mind went blank. She turned to look at her in horror and screamed, "Princess!?"

The Queen disagreed and said, "Lingruo! This is inappropriate. After all, Concubine Yun is your father's concubine!"

"What's wrong with that? As long as the knife doesn't fall on your body, you will never feel pain. If you have the thought, you deserve to die! This princess has already shown mercy!"

"Even if it's a concubine, my father has thousands and thousands! But as for blood relatives, this princess is the only one!"

Qin Lingruo had learned martial arts, and He Yunyin could not break free for a moment. He was half dragged and half dragged towards the wolf den. His life was at stake, and he had nothing to ask for. He shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Princess, I am your Majesty's concubine. You cannot treat me like this! Princess!"

Qin Lingruo ignored him and said, "Someone! Send Concubine Yun to the wolf's den!"

"Even if I report this to my father, I am still right!"

The screams and shouts from the other side were endless. The queen raised her hand to stop them, but the maidservant beside her whispered, "Don't worry, your majesty. I just inquired about it. The wolves below are fed every day and have enough food and water. If they don't attack actively, Concubine Yun will be fine. She will probably just be frightened. I will send someone to look after her until the princess leaves..."

When the queen heard this, she withdrew her hand and cursed: "You fool who doesn't know the limits should also learn a lesson!"

The screams of He Yunyin in her ears became increasingly distant, so the queen had no choice but to swallow her anger, flicked her sleeves and turned away.

Until everyone had left, Qin Lingruo stared at the dried blood on her palm, her eyes flickering with tiny tears, feeling melancholy and sad, completely lacking the majestic demeanor she had just now. Seeing this look, Xu Xinyue felt uncomfortable.

Xu Xinyue took out a handkerchief and wiped her palms, then said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Ling'er, what happened today is my fault. I just had the urge to get rid of Yun Fei, who is just a dog-skin plaster."

"But I never thought——"

Qin Lingruo shook her head and whispered, "Don't blame you... I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it earlier..."

Xu Xinyue took her hand:

"Let's go see Qin Leng. I don't know how serious his injuries are. I brought some plasters with me when I entered the palace. Maybe they can be used."

Qin Lingruo nodded slowly, and went to Qin Leng's bedroom with Xu Xianyue.

"How many times have I told you this? You just ignored me, didn't you?"

"I've already said that you and Hongyu are both my people! Before you can accomplish your great cause, you've already started an internal conflict! Yunyin, believe it or not, I'll put you back into that skin!"

He Yunyin had just been found in the wolf den. Her hair was disheveled, and her dress was dirty and tattered from just a few hours. She was still a little dazed and uneasy, her eyes were trembling, and she was holding on to the hem of her phoenix robe as if it were a life-saving straw, unwilling to let go.

She knelt on the ground in panic, begging for mercy in a trembling voice: "Empress, please calm down! This time it is Yunyin's fault. Yunyin just can't swallow this breath, so..."

The Queen pulled back the hem of her robe in disgust and scolded, "I am not an unreasonable person. I sympathize with your hatred for having your wrist cut off and am unwilling to give up, but I am not unwilling to give you a chance!"

"But, not right now! Xu Xinyue's body is of great use now, and cannot be damaged in the slightest! If the matter is accomplished, when her body is no longer useful, you can kill her or chop her up. I will leave her to you to do whatever you want with her!"

"When the time comes, even if you cut the tendons of her hands and feet, no matter how badly they are broken, I will never say a word of 'no'!"

He Yunyin raised her head happily: "Are you serious about what the Queen said?"

The Queen looked down at her and said, "Of course I take it seriously. When the big event comes, Prince Rong will most likely be a prisoner. A mere Princess Rong is not worth mentioning. You can humiliate her as you please!"

"But! I'll say this one last time. If you have other thoughts and cause trouble for me—"

"I will let someone else do the job for you, Concubine Yun!"

He Yunyin fell to the ground in embarrassment and kowtowed repeatedly: "I have no other thoughts, I promise!"

"This is the last chance I'll give you. If I find out next time that you have other thoughts..."

Before she could finish her words, He Yunyin replied with a trembling heart, "I, I know."

The queen glared at He Yunyin and said, "Your mission is to keep His Majesty under control."

"Do you apply that stuff on your body every day?"

He Yunyin hurriedly said, "I have never missed an audience with Your Majesty."

"It's just that Your Majesty rarely sees me..."

He Yunyin lowered her head and bit her lips, too embarrassed to speak out the words she had not finished.

"Hmph, no problem, as long as His Majesty is willing to summon you."

"Our emperor is sentimental yet nostalgic. He didn't even blink when he exiled Concubine Su's family. But when he found you, who looked like Concubine Su, he couldn't let you go... You are just a worthless person..."

The tone of the words suddenly changed, like a gentle sigh, but more of a mockery:

"I wonder if he would be so concerned if I leave one day?"

These words were truly outrageous, and He Yunyin lowered his head even more, pretending not to hear them.

The queen's bright eyes turned slightly, and she raised her lips and said, "Fortunately, my Lie'er has no ties, has never been bound by useless love, has no weaknesses, and is fearless. Such people are the right candidates to ascend to the throne."

"Am I right?"

The Queen asked He Yunyin, but she didn't seem to care much about her response.

"That's all for today! Remember what you said, Yunyin."

"You are no longer a descendant of the He family. Without the surname 'He', the only one you can rely on is me!"

He Yunyin responded hesitantly, not daring to refute a word.

"These days, you must stay in your own bedroom and not go anywhere! If anything goes wrong again during the half-month harem banquet, your new skin will be of no use!"
