When Jinzhong was summoned by the Queen, his heart was full of doubts, and he walked hurriedly yet with a little trepidation.

He was unable to serve the emperor these days, and Li Yu was always dominating the emperor.

Although he is careful and can handle many things perfectly, in a sense he is not as trusted by the emperor as Li Yu.

But it doesn't matter, his greatest strength is his patience.

Jinzhong quietly waited for his chance.

As for Changchun Palace, the matter of惢心 was his way of showing his sincerity, but it seemed that the Queen Mother had no intention of getting closer to him.

But what happened today? It made me wonder if the sun was rising from the west?

Jinzhong walked into Changchun Palace, his shrewd eyes constantly looking around.

He often went to Changchun Palace, trying to please the famously lenient Empress, but his previous overtures were like a stone falling on deaf ears, and he received no clear response.

He was really confused when he was summoned suddenly this time.

Jinzhong respectfully paid his respects to the Empress, "Good luck to the Empress. I wonder what you want me to do for you?"

He lowered his head slightly, but his eyes secretly scanned the palace and found that Wei Yanwan, who had always been with the Queen, was not there. He looked around and found that there was no one else in the empty palace.

He secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that the Queen Mother had something important for him to do?

Rongyin sat upright on the phoenix chair with a dignified posture. She raised her eyelids slightly, her gaze fell lightly on Jinzhong, and she slowly asked again.

"Jinzhong, I'll ask you again, are you really willing to join me?"

Compared to Fu Cha Langya in her previous life, who tried every means to get news from the emperor and even gave her maid Lian Xin to Wang Qin, Rong Yin now completely took the initiative.

Even when he spoke to Jinzhong, he was so firm.

Jinzhong quickly lowered his body and said firmly, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you and am willing to serve you at my utmost."

Rong Yin's lips curled up into an imperceptible smile, and she praised, "You are a smart person."

"I've discovered that you're actually smarter than anyone else in many cases."

After the Queen said this, Jinzhong was slightly stunned.

It seemed that he had never thought that one day he would receive such direct praise from the Queen.

But he subconsciously said modestly, "I am just a little clever. I serve the emperor on weekdays, so I have to learn to read his words and expressions. No matter what, I can't compare to your wisdom."

In fact, the person Rongyin was interested in at first was Li Yu.

The timeline she was originally in did not have such a complicated relationship, and Li Yu was also a loyal eunuch who followed the emperor at the beginning.

But when I got here, I found that everything was beyond my expectations, and there were many things... that were not so reasonable.

Ever since she came here, she has been observing the "Li Yu" beside the emperor.

Rather than being loyal to the emperor, it seems more like he is trying to influence the emperor's decisions by using his status as the emperor's chief eunuch.

Many times, the words we say are very presumptuous.

But Jinzhong is different. Although he seems to be too flattering to the emperor at times, he knows how to advance and retreat very well.

"I know you are a capable person. If any concubine in the harem gets in touch with you, it will only be a matter of time before she becomes your favorite concubine under your manipulation."

Jinzhong never expected that the Queen would suddenly say such a thing. No matter whether the Queen was praising him or sarcastically, there would be absolutely no problem in kneeling down and admitting his mistake now.

"Your Majesty, you really think highly of me. I just want to earn a living in the harem and live a more comfortable life. I dare not have any second thoughts."

Rong Yin didn't know why she always didn't want to show her "cruel and ruthless" side in front of Wei Yanwan, but when Wei Yanwan was not around, she seemed to have let herself go.

She waved her hand lazily. Although she maintained her manners, it was obvious that she was not impressed by Jin Zhong's trick.

"If I say you're smart, just admit it. I have no intention or desire to engage in such nonsense with you. Stand up and answer."

When Jinzhong heard this, he gently looked up at the Queen who was sitting in front of him.

The expression on the Queen's face did not change much. It was obvious that what she said just now was sincere, so she stood up at this time.

"I'm sorry to say something disrespectful, but does your Majesty have any instructions?"

"Of course." Since Rong Yin already knew the entire direction of this world line, there was no need for her to live an honest, even stumbling, life there.

Even if she doesn't fight for herself, she will naturally fight for the people around her. The most important thing is that she had suffered enough in her previous life, and she has to choose a completely new life in this one.

When Jinzhong heard the Queen's instructions, he felt dizzy, but he still agreed obediently.

But on second thought, he felt delighted and quickly expressed his loyalty.

"My queen, as long as you wish, my life belongs to you. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

Rong Yin nodded slightly. Her voice was soft, but carried an unquestionable majesty.

"The emperor will go on a southern tour in a few days and will take Concubine Xian with him, and Ling Yunche will be punished by the emperor for something."

Ling Yunche?

Jinzhong widened his eyes in surprise. He couldn't understand how the Queen knew these things that had not happened yet, not to mention that Ling Yunche was a guard guarding Kunning Palace.

Even if he was Concubine Xian's savior...

He was secretly surprised, but did not dare to ask. He just listened quietly.

Rong Yin's eyes became deep, she narrowed her eyes slightly and hinted, "If the scene during the southern tour was too chaotic, it is not impossible for someone to fall into the water when sailing late at night."

Jinzhong's clever mind understood what the Queen said almost instantly. He was shocked. It turned out that the Queen wanted Concubine Xian to fall into the water!

But no one cares why they fell into the water.

His heart was in turmoil. On the one hand, he was surprised at how the queen could know such far-reaching things and even calculate such details accurately.

On the other hand, he also knew that since he had chosen to serve the Queen, he had to serve her loyally and not think about staying out of it, let alone keeping his hands clean.

Jinzhong understood that the Queen Mother did not allow Wei Yanwan to be present, obviously in order to protect this senior palace maid. As for these dirty matters, it was not convenient for the Queen Mother to do them personally, so he could only do them himself.

He is not a person who is afraid of taking risks. Instead, he is very good at seizing all opportunities, and this time is no exception.

He said without hesitation, "Don't worry, your majesty. It's a dark and windy night with fast-flowing water. Anything can happen."

Rongyin looked at Jinzhong with satisfaction, as if she had seen the scene after Concubine Xian fell into the water.

She waved her hand slightly, "Go down, remember, this matter cannot be missed."

Jinzhong retreated respectfully. Although his steps were steady, his mind was filled with thoughts.

He knew that he had taken on a dangerous task that could bring huge benefits, and he had to proceed with caution in this unfathomable harem.

After coming out of Changchun Palace, Jinzhong walked on the palace road. The sunlight shone on his body, but it could not dispel the haze in his heart.

As he walked, he was thinking in his mind that the day of his southern tour had not yet arrived and he still had time to plan and make arrangements.

He had to make sure everything was perfect and not put himself in danger, while also completing the task assigned by the Queen.

After returning to his residence, Jinzhong closed the door, sat at the table, and repeatedly pondered the Queen's words.

As the days passed, the day of the southern tour drew closer.

Jinzhong began to pay close attention to Concubine Xian's every move. He quietly arranged people to place spies around Concubine Xian.

He had to understand Concubine Xian's habits and preferences so that he could take action at the most appropriate time.

And in Changchun Palace, Rongyin was also waiting silently.

She knew Jinzhong was a smart man and he would get things done.

She picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, looked out the window, but was thinking about the scenes of the southern tour in her heart.

She seemed to see Concubine Xian's panic when she fell into the water, and the emperor's anger and helplessness.

The corners of her mouth curled up into that barely perceptible smile again, kind...kind...

Ah.

In Changchun Palace, Rongyin sat quietly in front of the window, gazing at the scenery outside, but her thoughts drifted back to her previous life.

She clearly remembered how Jin Yuyan deliberately framed Ruyi during that southern tour.

A bellyband falsely accused Ling Yunche and at the same time tricked out Ruyi and Wei Yanwan. If Ruyi didn't really have the aura of the heroine in this world line, she would have died at the hands of Jin Yuyan long ago.

In this life, Rong Yin originally planned to join the game herself.

She originally wanted to use Hai Lan to attack Ruyi, so that Ruyi could feel the feeling of being hurt by her greatest helper in her previous life. After all, Hai Lan was not completely innocent in her previous life.

Rong Yin frowned slightly, sighed softly, and said to herself: "Hai Lan, Hai Lan, the things you did in your last life are still in front of my eyes. However, you and Ruyi have no intersection in this life. If I really want to use you, it seems that I can only postpone it for a while."

Her eyes gradually became sharper, and she thought to herself, "But Jin Yuyan, I must never let her give up such a good opportunity in this life."

These days, Jinzhong followed her instructions and revealed the relationship between Ruyi and Ling Yunche to Zhenshu invisibly.

Rong Yin knew very well that with Jin Yuyan's personality, she could not be unaware of this, and she would definitely use the opportunity of the southern tour to sow discord between the emperor and Ruyi.

Rong Yin picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said softly: "No matter what, Ruyi can't be said to be wronged. All this is caused by the disputes in the harem. Since the situation of the mantis stalking the cicada has been formed, I will be the last oriole."

At this time, Jinzhong quietly walked into Changchun Palace. He bowed slightly and whispered, "Empress, everything has been done according to your instructions. Zhenshu should have known about Ruyi and Ling Yunche's affairs."

Rong Yin nodded slightly and said, "Well done, Jinzhong."

Jinzhong hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "My queen, what should we do next?"

Unconsciously, the conversation has changed to "we".

After Jinzhong finished saying this, he carefully looked up at the expression on the Queen's face and found that she did not show any disgust or disdain, including disapproval. At this time, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, at some points, Jinzhong is grateful.

Rong Yin's lips curled up into a light smile, "Just wait and see, and take action at the critical moment. The struggle in the harem is like a game of chess, and every move must be calculated clearly."
