Chapter 268 Interest Relationship

After the queen was under house arrest, Qin Rubing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She always felt that there was a hostile atmosphere in the palace, and this atmosphere seemed to come from the queen.

Although no solid evidence has been found to confirm her guess, her keen perception of her surroundings has never been wrong.

Every time she entered the palace, she would remain highly vigilant and sensitive, able to detect subtle changes and potential threats.

After this design caused the Queen to be grounded, she became more convinced that her intuition was not wrong.

Because she clearly felt that the vague danger signal had weakened.

However, she also understood that in this complex court, intuition alone was far from enough.

She needed more clues and evidence to determine whether the queen was really a threat to her.

At the same time, she also has to carefully handle her relationships with other members of the royal family so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

In this palace full of power struggles and conspiracies, every step needs to be taken with caution.

Qin Rubing knows very well that only by constantly observing, thinking and acting can he protect himself and achieve his goals.

In the following days, Qin Rubing secretly sent people to investigate the Queen's past whereabouts and interpersonal relationships, trying to find more evidence.

She also took advantage of every opportunity to establish connections with other concubines and maids in the palace and obtain useful information from them.

While chatting with people in the palace, Qin Rubing deliberately led the topic and talked about the Queen's house arrest.

Everyone expressed their opinions, some thought the queen deserved it, while others expressed doubts.

Qin Rubing watched coldly, carefully observing everyone's expressions and reactions.

The words of one of the concubines caught her attention.

She gossiped that the queen had been in frequent contact with a minister recently and that there seemed to be an unusual relationship between the two.

Qin Rubing had an idea and decided to investigate the minister's background in depth.

Perhaps this will be the key clue to uncovering the queen's secret.

Qin Rubing began to investigate the minister and found that he was quite powerful in the court and had contacts with many officials.

What is even more suspicious is that he has some interest relationship with the queen's family.

In order to collect more evidence, Qin Rubing cleverly arranged some spies to monitor the minister's every move.

Soon, she received an important piece of information: the minister had met with the queen in private and handed her a mysterious letter.

Qin Rubing was determined to find out the contents of the letter. She used some tricks and finally succeeded in stealing the letter.

The words in the letter shocked her. It turned out that the queen and the ministers were plotting to usurp the throne and murder the emperor, so that Prince Yong could ascend the throne.

Qin Rubing knew that this matter was of great importance, and she had to tell Emperor Dong about this amazing discovery immediately.

However, the power struggles in the palace were complicated and she could not easily reveal her intentions.

So she carefully planned a meeting so that she could find an opportunity to present the evidence to the East Emperor.

On the day of the meeting, Qin Rubing dressed in a low-key and elegant manner to avoid attracting unnecessary attention. She carefully came to the agreed location with the important letter in her arms.

Dongdi arrived as expected, and Qin Rubing took advantage of the opportunity when no one was disturbing her to quickly hand him the letter. Dongdi unfolded the letter, and after reading it, his face suddenly changed, with a flash of astonishment in his eyes.

"This is conclusive evidence. Your Majesty must be careful and cautious." Qin Rubing said in a low voice.

Dongdi clenched his fists, anger and determination intertwined in his heart. He knew that the situation was critical and he had to take decisive action.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not tolerate it." The Eastern Emperor said in a firm tone.

Qin Rubing nodded slightly, indicating that she was willing to help him uncover the conspiracy.

However, she also knew that the road ahead was difficult and that the dark corners of the palace hid countless unknown dangers.
