Chapter 938: Chapter 932: What Was Found

She suddenly pricked her finger on the sharp hairpin in her hand.

King Jin hurriedly stood up, seeing that blood had already started to flow from the Empress’s finger, he quickly called for someone.

The Empress stopped him, saying, "No need to call anyone, it’s just a minor injury."

She wrapped her wound with her own handkerchief.

"How can Your Majesty’s precious body be treated so hastily?", King Jin objected as he brought out some white cloth, meticulously cleaned the Empress’s wound, and properly bandaged it up.

After bandaging, he saw the blood-beaded hairpin and slightly furrowed his brow.

He tossed the injurious hairpin to the side, sighing lightly, "Mother, why weren’t you more careful? At first glance, this hairpin looks unsightly, but upon closer inspection, it’s as sharp as a blade, too easily injuring someone. Mother, you shouldn’t use it anymore. If you fancy this design, your son will find a craftsman to make you one."

A fierce look flashed in the Empress’s eyes as she said indifferently, "Indeed, at first glance, it looks unattractive, but upon closer inspection... Hmph!"

"Mother, what is really going on?" The Empress seemed particularly different today.

"That Gu Youyou is just like this hairpin, unassuming in appearance. I thought she was just a poor relative of the Lin Family, but upon careful thought and investigation, she is indeed extraordinary."

"What has Mother discovered?" King Jin’s brow twitched.

"Hmph!", the Empress coldly snorted, "She claims to be frail and sickly, but in fact, she is a ’medicine person’ raised by the Dao Sect."

"A ’medicine person’?", King Jin didn’t know what a medicine person was.

"My son need not understand, it’s a matter for the Dao Sect. The Dao Sect isn’t as clean as it appears on the surface, not detached from worldly affairs, they have too many unclean things internally. Gu Youyou has been raised as a medicine person since she was young, and I guess Lin Xingyi must also know some inside stories. He sends Silver to her every year, but the amount isn’t much.

To say he cares about his niece, it seems he hasn’t done enough, but to say he doesn’t care, it would not go so far as to keep her in the Lin Family all this time. In my view, it’s more like a cover-up.

What’s stranger is that she only escaped because of Jin Zijin. Jin Zijin lived in Lotus Village for six years disguised as a common hunter, and everything was safe and sound until the last year when he took Gu Youyou out.

And he did so with the ceremony of a wedding. Of course, later they claimed that Jin Zijin did so to repay a life-saving debt to the Gu Family, Gu Feng, to treat Youyou’s illness under disguise, to say they weren’t really related.

But why did he rush to the Imperial Palace that day in Zhaoyang Hall? Because he got the news and came to rescue Youyou.

I don’t believe Lin Xingyi knows nothing about these matters, hence he is not truly aligned with us."

Listening to the Empress say so much all at once, King Jin’s mind couldn’t quite make sense of it all.

The Empress, somewhat frustrated and stifled by her own son’s lack of acumen, resignedly said, "I say all this, just to make a few points. First, the Lin Family and Gu Youyou staying with them—there’s something wrong. Jin Zijin is not as he appears, not solely devoted to the Dao Family and disinterested in royal power. Just by the fact that he was able to enter the palace and rescue Youyou immediately, it shows that he has spies placed in the palace."

The Empress shifted her position and gently touched her injured finger, whispering, "To place spies right under my eyes, and I remain completely unaware... I can’t tell whether he placed them after he came to the capital in recent years or had planned and planted them many years ago. In any case, this man poses a much greater threat to us than Sheng Qiaoyue and her son. In the future, you cannot simply focus your attention on Jin Tingyu; you must spend more effort on Jin Zijin."
