Chapter 1452 Ruthless
Lie Jiuqing expected that the Empress Dowager would know about the gift of Zicao.

The empress dowager's journey from being a young lady to becoming a queen is legendary and quite exciting. Now, none of these concubines can be her rival.

In front of her, the methods of the queen and the imperial concubine were actually not worthy of publicity. It was just that she was in a high position now and didn't bother to play any conspiracies.

The queen obviously had a bad look on her face, "What is this strawberry? Is it poison?"

Without waiting for Lie Jiuqing's explanation, the Empress Dowager immediately asked all the maids and eunuchs to go down.

The hall was very quiet for a while.

The Empress Dowager's face was solemn, and the Queen's heart gradually sank, "Queen Mother... this..."

"It's not an important matter, it's just that the Ai family doesn't want people to be distracted, and some unfavorable rumors will spread to you."

With that said, the Empress Dowager sat down on the main seat with the support of her nanny, "Jiu Qing, tell me what you think."

The queen sat down upset and looked at Lie Jiuqing with a frown, "Is there really someone who wants to harm me?"

"Now it seems that it should be."

"What should it be!"

Seeing the queen's excitement, the empress dowager warned in a deep voice: "Queen, calm down for a moment and listen to what Jiu Qing has to say."

Lie Jiuqing knew clearly that the Empress Dowager did not want all these things to go out, so she was so polite to her.

"My lady has carefully inspected the strawberries. There are many signs of germination inside the palace, and buds have grown outside the palace. Judging from their growth habits, some of them have been left for at least six months. "

The empress was only three months pregnant, but the strawberries had been left for nearly six months. The empress dowager's view of her belly immediately changed.

This was the first time the Queen had heard of Sangzicao, so naturally she didn't understand its meaning, but the way the Queen Mother looked at her gradually made her uneasy.

The Queen Mother asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure?"

"Of course I am just speculating, the details will depend on the queen."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother and Lie Jiuqing looked at the Queen together.

She subconsciously touched her belly and asked, "What do you mean?" Lie Jiuqing looked at the Empress Dowager. There were some things that she couldn't say casually about her identity.

There are many implications behind this statement.

The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea but did not speak. Lie Jiuqing did not take the initiative to mention it, "The Empress Dowager, look, do you want me to help the Empress recuperate her body these days?"

"Ah."

How could the Queen not see the subtle atmosphere between them, but the Queen Mother had already spoken, so naturally she couldn't refuse.

"I've been bothering Jiu Qing for the past few days."

Lie Jiuqing smiled and said, "It is my blessing to be able to help you."

The Queen closed her fingertips together, feeling the uneasiness in her heart growing.

"Jiu Qing, please step aside first, while the Aijia and the Queen have a few words of respect for themselves."

"Yes."

As soon as Lie Jiuqing went out, the queen immediately asked anxiously: "Mother, what exactly is Sangzicao? Is it harmful to my royal son?"

"What do you think! How many good things are there in the harem?"

The Empress Dowager put down the tea cup fiercely, "Queen, after all these years, you finally have an heir, how could you be so careless? Do you know, you almost lost your throne!"

The Queen shuddered. It was the first time in many years that she saw the Queen Mother getting so angry.

She never thought that this Sangzicao was so serious.

She hurriedly knelt down and said, "Mother, I am always careful, but I didn't even expect that I was still unprepared. Please atone for your sins."

The Empress Dowager reprimanded: "You are the mother of a country and the master of the harem. Now you are the only one favored by the emperor. There are only many more people who can harm you. This time is a lesson. You don't need to know the details. The Ai family will be fierce. Jiu Qing will handle it, and if something goes wrong, just blame it all on her."
