Chapter 3213: Chapter 3214: Gathering Information Indirectly

"We..."

Yin Baiqing was about to speak when he saw a palace maid walk in from outside, and immediately shut his mouth.

"Your servant greets the Empress and the Crown Prince. Your Majesty, Madam Zui is at the door. Should your servant bring her in?" the palace maid asked Zui Yiming.

"Let her in."

Zui Yiming’s smile disappeared, and she instructed the palace maid coldly.

"Mother, what’s going on? Did Grandmother upset you?" Yin Baiqing asked, observing the cold aura surrounding his mother.

"Hoo!"

Zui Yiming let out a heavy breath.

"I originally thought your grandmother simply wanted your Fifth Aunt to accompany the Empress in the palace, but now it seems... that’s not the case."

Zui Yifeng’s situation is complex, and Zui Yichun’s desire to enter the palace isn’t simple either.

"Do they still want Fifth Aunt in the palace? As a concubine?" Yin Baiqing almost laughed.

These people from the Zui Family are utterly mad, aren’t they? Isn’t having Mother in the palace enough, and now they want Zui Yichun to join too?

He has witnessed his Fifth Aunt’s arrogance, to the point of being intolerable. Such a woman, entering the palace for what reason would Father tolerate her presence?

"Mother, you won’t agree to this, will you?" He asked his mother. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Of course, Mother won’t agree, even if she did, do you think your Father would?" Zui Yiming smiled at her son and asked in return.

"Of course not."

Without a second thought, Yin Baiqing replied.

Back then, there was no choice but for Father to feign a life of indulgence every day just to search for him.

Yet, he was also aware that Father’s heart belonged to Mother, and he had always worried about her when she was at Prince Niu’s Mansion, taking care of their son and handling all the matters of the household.

Now that he is finally Emperor, he naturally won’t let Mother suffer any longer.

"Just as well, your grandmother is here. We can inquire about Zui Yifeng’s situation." Zui Yiming reminded.

"Alright."

Yin Baiqing was thinking the same.

"Brother Changhong, do you have any medicine?"

He turned to Lin Changhong, asking if he had some kind of powder or medicine.

"I have some prepared by Sangsang, this is the Truth-Telling Pill. Just put it in the tea. However, it only lasts for a quarter of an hour, so ask quickly whatever you need."

Lin Changhong didn’t waste words and directly took out the elixir pills.

"Nanny."

Zui Yiming glanced at her side, where her nanny was standing.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The nanny responded, went to Lin Changhong’s side, took the pills with both hands, and then stepped back.

Soon, Madam Zui entered under the guidance of the palace maid.

Originally, she intended to express grievances toward Zui Yiming, but upon seeing the seated individuals, she was momentarily stunned.

"Empress, who are these two?"

She had only seen Yin Baiqing as a child, and had not met him since his return, so naturally, she didn’t recognize him.

"Mother, this is Baiqing, and his savior," Zui Yiming introduced.

"So it’s Baiqing. You’ve grown so much over the years, haven’t you?" Madam Zui’s eyes flashed, and she forcefully suppressed the strong feelings of resentment in her heart.
