Yun Qingyu raised her gaze and spoke softly, "There is something I find a bit confusing, and I hope the Empress Dowager can enlighten me. When my father ascended to the throne at such a young age, the the Lin held power in the court. The reason my father was able to remove the the Lin was due to the support of Consort Duan's family, which helped him regain control of the government. Why does the Empress Dowager not thank the Lin family, but instead harbor such great animosity towards them?"
The Empress Dowager seemed to have hit a nerve; her expression changed abruptly as she scolded, "This is not something you should concern yourself with."
She raised her hand to smooth her hair at her temples, regaining her composure before saying, "This matter has nothing to do with you. You only need to agree to my conditions."
Yun Qingyu smiled faintly and replied, "In that case, I won't delay your rest any longer."
With that, she turned to leave but added, "If the Empress Dowager wishes to discuss the secret of my elder brother's origins with my father, then so be it; I do not care."
The Empress Dowager trembled with anger behind her, waving her hand in frustration as tea cups and pots were swept off the table and crashed to the ground.
Yun Qingyu walked calmly out of Renshou Palace's door and called out, "Xin Yao."
Xin Yao immediately appeared, holding an umbrella and following closely by her side. With a hint of worry in her voice, she asked, "My lord, what if the Empress Dowager truly intends to deal with Consort Duan…"
Yun Qingyu interrupted Xin Yao, saying, "Whoever she wants to target is her business; it has nothing to do with this palace. This palace will not accept threats from anyone."
Xin Yao thought to herself: It seems this palace is buried under many secrets. She had a premonition that these secrets would soon be revealed one by one, leading to an unsettling upheaval.
Yun Qingyu wanted to help Xin Yao overcome the psychological shadow left by the original owner. With nothing much to do these days, she practiced martial arts with Xin Yao. Over time, Xin Yao transformed from being tense and cautious into someone more natural and relaxed.
Every time she won against Yun Qingyu, not only did she avoid punishment but also enjoyed moments alone with Your Highness while playing chess, experiencing a significant improvement both physically and mentally.
Jing Lan presented an invitation from the Ling Family. After a moment of contemplation, Yun Qingyu summoned a few attendants to join for dinner.
The seven of them filled the table. Xin Yao's gaze was icy, especially when she saw Hong Yu, always ready to throw him out.
Yun Qingyu's eyes swept over the faces before him as he spoke lightly, "The Ling Family has just sent an invitation, inviting This Palace to their estate in three days to enjoy the flowers. You will accompany This Palace."
Hong Yu beamed and instinctively asked, "Your Highness truly intends to share the favor equally?"
Xin Yao's chopsticks snapped in two with a sharp sound, her eyes growing increasingly fierce as she glared at Hong Yu.
Qiling reached out and pinched Hong Yu's arm, signaling him to be quiet. He then looked up at Yun Qingyu and asked, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
Yun Qingyu smiled faintly and said, "At that time, you may act freely without worrying about This Palace, and certainly not about Consort Duan in the palace. Let the people of the Ling Family witness the talents of This Palace's attendants and see if Ling Jing can handle being a Consort."
The young gentlemen understood; it seemed the Ling Family intended to follow Lu Mingzhan's path. The Eldest Princess was not someone he could manipulate.
Upon hearing the name Ling Jing, Yun Lingchuan frowned and reported in detail to Yun Qingyu, "That person is the legitimate son of the second branch of the Ling Family. He may have some peculiar habits; he enjoys studying poisons and experimenting on people with them. He also has some undisclosed interests—overall, he is a cruel-hearted individual."
Hong Yu snorted coldly and said, "A wretched frog like him thinks he can eat swan meat? No way! I must teach him a lesson."
Looking at Yun Qingyu with a delicate tone, he said, "Let us go out and establish Your Highness's authority. Can Your Highness treat us equally in the future and show us a bit more favor?"
Yun Lingchuan clenched his fists and cleared his throat, saying, "I believe that as an attendant, making such demands at this time is quite presumptuous. According to the rules, you should be dragged out for punishment."
Hong Yu's smile froze as he slowly turned to look at the gentle and harmless young man, Yun Lingchuan, who nodded in agreement.
The Qilin said, "Master Yun is right. Hong Yu has been a bit too carefree lately, always trying to test His Highness's patience. It's time to loosen him up a bit."
Wen Zhan nodded. "Exactly."
Shen Zhongjing also chimed in, nodding his head. "What Master Yun and Young Master Qi said is true."
Hong Yu was instantly speechless. What was going on with this group of traitors? Why was he being isolated? Thinking about it, since Yun Lingchuan was a golden thigh to cling to, it made sense.
Xin Yao finally seized the opportunity and without a second thought, tossed Hong Yu out again.
After dinner, the young masters dispersed, and Xin Yao skillfully climbed onto the princess's bed, obediently sleeping beside her.
However, by midnight, Xin Yao unconsciously moved closer, tightly hugging Yun Qingyu and sleeping soundly. A faint smile appeared on Yun Qingyu's lips as he drifted off to sleep.
