Chapter 118: Frankness
It turned out that Liu Qimei arranged for Lu Juefeng to send someone to warn Yin Ruchen before King Jingyin woke up, and then find a way to secretly get rid of Yin Ruchen after King Jingyin really recovered. Liu Qimei promised Lu Juefeng that once the matter was done, she would speak well of King Jingyin in front of him after he woke up and recovered, so that King Jingyin would promote him.
"I will do what I promised you, but don't worry about Yin Ruchen's affairs!" Liu Qimei said decisively.
"Then let Yin Ruchen do whatever he wants?" Lu Juefeng said.
Liu Qimei thought that she would make Lu Juefeng very happy if she stopped asking him to deal with Yin Ruchen for her, but she still did not regret her promise to him. Unexpectedly, Lu Juefeng asked her that question. She immediately felt very strange and could not figure it out for a while, so she asked Lu Juefeng: "You seem to pay special attention to Yin Ruchen?"
"Ah... no... I am just concerned about the Queen! I would also like to trouble the Queen to speak well of me in front of Your Majesty!" Lu Juefeng said.
Liu Qimei still felt that he wanted to kill Yin Ruchen not just to do things for her own benefit, but she did not ask any further questions and let Lu Juefeng go.
After Lu Juefeng left, Liu Qimei and some people hurried to the bedroom of King Jingyin. When she arrived at the bedroom, she saw that the lights were still on, and she felt relieved. No one expected Liu Qimei to come suddenly, and Liu Qimei didn't expect to see Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying in King Jingyin's bedroom.
In order to understand the true nature of their relationship, Liu Qimei decided to immediately find these two people and ask them directly so that she could feel more at ease.
She first called Yin Ruchen to the wall and asked, "Do you love Guard Yan very much?"
"Yes." Yin Ruchen answered frankly. She had felt that Liu Qimei had misunderstood her desire to get close to King Jingyin, so she did not hesitate to let Liu Qimei know her feelings for Yan Moying. If Liu Qimei really had doubts about her, Yin Ruchen hoped that this answer would clear up the misunderstanding.
"If... I mean if... if you were asked to choose between His Majesty and Guard Yan, which one would you choose?" Liu Qimei asked awkwardly. "No need to choose, I only love Guard Yan, that's all." Yin Ruchen answered straightforwardly. Liu Qimei saw sincerity in her eyes, a sincerity she rarely saw in the palace.
"Have you never thought about getting close to His Majesty?" Liu Qimei asked bluntly.
"Never." Yin Ruchen answered very quickly.
"What if...what if...His Majesty wants you to stay with him?" Liu Qimei asked.
"First of all, I don't think Your Majesty would do that. Secondly, I come from the common people and belong to the common people. I have never thought about staying in the palace. I am neither suitable nor possible to stay in the palace." Yin Ruchen said.
Liu Qimei continued to ask: "In other words, you will leave here soon?"
Yin Ruchen pointed to the luggage on the side and said, "I have packed my things. The reason I haven't left immediately is that I hope to leave with a clean slate after the dart incident is sorted out."
"But Guard Yan is also a member of the palace. If you leave the palace, what about him?" Liu Qimei was still worried that Yin Ruchen would be reluctant to leave the palace because of some concerns in his heart.
"We'll leave together because he has something important that he and I need to do together."
