Chapter 134 Departure at Early Morning
Not even three moments later.
Qi Siyue came to Concubine Qi's palace, her face red with anger.
Concubine Qi looked at it and asked with concern: "Yuer, what's going on?"
Qi Siyue recounted what happened when she met Qin Rubing in the corridor.
Concubine Qi frowned. What was Qin Rubing doing in the palace?
She turned around and told Aunt Zhao beside her, "Go check why Qin Rubing came to the palace?"
After a while, Nanny Zhao came back to report, "The Princess of Yan has gone to see the Queen."
Concubine Qi frowned, "Didn't you just go there a few days ago? Why did you go again?"
Qi Siyue looked at Concubine Qi, "My Lady Concubine, are you saying that Qin Rubing has been visiting the Queen's place frequently recently?"
"Yeah, she didn't go there often before, but she's been going there more frequently recently."
Qi Siyue's eyes rolled, and she always felt that there seemed to be something she had missed here.
Could it be... Qi Siyue didn't even dare to think about it.
Could it be that Qin Rubing was conveying a message to the Queen on behalf of Chu Tiancheng?
When did she gain the trust of these two people at the same time?
Qi Siyue was shocked. If this was true, then the situation would be troublesome. She had to find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
So, Qi Siyue decided to secretly follow Qin Rubing to see what she was conspiring with the Queen.
On the fourth day of July, Qin Rubing went to the Queen's palace as usual.
Qi Siyue changed into a palace maid's outfit and followed carefully behind, trying not to be discovered.
However, just as she was about to approach the Queen's Palace, several guards suddenly appeared and stopped her. "Who are you? How dare you trespass here!" the guards shouted.
Qi Siyue panicked, but soon calmed down and said, "I am Concubine Qi's personal maid, and I have something important to report to the Queen."
The guard looked her up and down and said, "Then wait here. I'll go in and report."
Not long after, the guard came out and said, "The Queen wants to see you."
Qi Siyue was secretly delighted, it seemed her plan had worked. She followed the guards into the palace, and in a pleasant courtyard, she saw Qin Rubing and the queen talking.
She vaguely heard Qin Rubing talking to the Queen about "supplies".
The queen looked up and saw a maid who looked unfamiliar. "What's the matter, Concubine Qi?"
Qi Siyue replied calmly: "Empress, the Imperial Concubine said that you should take a look at the schedule for the Crown Prince's wedding."
After saying that, she handed over a piece of paper with the words: Prince’s Wedding Schedule.
The queen took a look at it and handed it to Qin Rubing.
Qin Rubing looked at it and said nothing.
"Go and tell Concubine Qi that I have no objection."
"Yes." Qi Siyue bowed and left.
But she did not go far, instead she hid behind the rockery and eavesdropped.
The Queen asked Qin Rubing, "When does Cheng'er plan to leave?"
Qin Rubing was about to answer when the jade bracelet suddenly vibrated violently.
She subconsciously looked in the direction where the palace maid had just left. There was a rockery there.
Qin Rubing understood and deliberately raised her voice and said, "I'll leave tomorrow."
The Queen was a little puzzled, "Tomorrow? Why didn't I hear anything?"
"To be honest with you, mother, the prince will quietly leave the city at three o'clock tomorrow morning."
Oh? The Queen was even more confused. "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"Yes, I heard that they only brought a few secret guards."
Qin Rubing lowered her voice for the rest of the words, so Qi Siyue couldn't hear clearly.
But the above is enough.
She left quickly and went straight to the Prince's Mansion after leaving the palace.
