The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1080 Break (6)
Cai'e hugged the curtain and went out of the inner bedroom, handed the things in her hand to Xueyan, and told her to put them away first, and then said after she came back: "The emperor didn't give the queen a dead queen, maybe it was because of the love she grew up with. Well, after all, no matter how bad the empress is, she is also the first wife of the emperor, and there is no precedent for abolishing an empress, so it can only be... let her die of illness, and the empress should order her to go on..."

"No, it's not the right time yet. She is alive, blocking the way of my palace, but also blocking the way of the imperial concubine. I have nothing at the moment. Even if the empress dies, it will not do me any good. So let's keep her first. Let her continue to live." Concubine Ning leaned on the bed, her eyes were full of calculations, she thought for a moment and told Cai'e, "Go and tell Wang Zhen, let him secretly investigate the matter of the bead curtain back then. But there are still people left alive, if there are, they should be transferred to a place far away from right and wrong to protect them, and this palace will use them one day."

Cai'e hurriedly responded, "Yes, this servant knows."

After Qingchen followed the emperor out of Huayu Palace, he saw that Xiao Jun was silent all the time, and his expression was not very good. At this time, he didn't need to think about it and knew that he was angry, but for some reason, the emperor's face was more sad.

Qingchen took a few steps to catch up with him, and asked with a complicated mood: "Your Majesty, how are you? If you are angry, you can tell the concubine. Don't hold your anger in your heart and ruin the dragon's body."

Xiao Jun stopped suddenly, hugged her tightly in his arms as if very tired, and sighed: "Chen'er, why do you think the harem is always full of disputes? During the draft, I watched them all be gentle and gentle. But people, they are all well-educated and reasonable ladies, but after entering the palace, why did they suddenly become so terrifying, their methods, even I feel hard to guard against, let alone you?"

Qingchen hugged him, and was speechless for a moment. The girls who were drafted entered the palace with the purpose of honoring the lintel. Who doesn't have their own thoughts?From the very beginning, I made up my mind to fight for you. How could there be a peaceful day for this harem?
With a silent wry smile, Qingchen hugged the exhausted emperor for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty, no matter what others do, this concubine is still your Nianyi, it has never changed and will never change."

"It's also fortunate that you are by my side, fortunately there is you..." Xiao Jun was probably really tired, most of her weight rested on her body, and she buried her head on her shoulder without saying a word.

Qingchen knew that he just wanted to be quiet, so he tried his best to support his body, stood there silently and accompanied him, sometimes it was also a kind of comfort.

Finally the emperor raised his head, let out a heavy sigh of relief, held her hand and walked forward slowly, from the tone of his words, Qingchen seemed to feel that his emotions were much calmer than before, "Chen'er, Zhen'er I believe that you will not murder Heng'er, but I also believe that Concubine Xian is innocent. Although she testifies against you in a hurry, it is because of her love for her son. For no reason, she will not take Heng'er and her own life Taking the risk of framing you, besides, it wouldn't do her any good, would it?"

Qingchen knew that the emperor was thinking about motives. If the person who was poisoned today was Concubine Ning, he might not hesitate to believe that it was a bitter trick. After all, there was a conflict of interest between them, but the emperor couldn't think of Ye Hanyu as such. What is the motive for doing it, so he is sure that someone is obstructing it.If she dared to poison Heng'er and herself to suffer such a crime just because of fighting for favor, then she would be too vicious.In his opinion, Concubine Xian is not so unbearable.

"The concubine also hopes that someone is provoking it, but she is a little bit disappointed that Sister Ye doesn't trust the concubine so much. What happened may not be that important, the important thing is that she no longer trusts the concubine." Yes, All the while, that was what saddened her the most.

Xiao Jun held her hand and walked slowly on the path in the Imperial Garden, and said in a gentle voice, "I'm not protecting anyone, but I always feel that Concubine Xian...at least compared to other people, she doesn't have so many insidious thoughts She suspects you, probably because Wei Ronghua's girl offended you by talking nonsense in the palace today, and felt that you were angry, so she attacked Heng'er. Of course, I knew you would not do this, but when she wanted to For no other reason but when you are the only one who has been in contact with Heng'er, she will inevitably become suspicious. Both mother and son were poisoned because of a piece of pastry you touched, and Wei Ronghua's incident was the first, such a coincidence , anyone will misunderstand..."

"Then why does the emperor trust the concubine?" Qingchen interrupted him angrily, not because she was angry with Ye Hanyu, nor because the emperor was unhappy with what he said, it was not unreasonable, but she just felt uncomfortable in her heart .The problems between women may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of men, even ridiculous, but only they themselves know where this subtle change is.

Xiao Jun saw that her face was a little annoyed, and coaxed: "I believe you because I know that you have always wanted to have a child, and seeing Heng'er is so cute, it's too late for you to like it, how could you poison him? Besides, you don't even want to know Wei Ronghua as well as her, so how can you embarrass an innocent child?"

"Look, sister Ye can't figure out something that even the emperor understands?" Speaking of this, Qingchen became even more annoyed, "The emperor said so many things to be considerate of the concubine, and the concubine dared not refute, but the concubine just I just feel sad to be questioned by my closest friends."

"Okay, I know you're not feeling well, so how about I accompany you outside to watch the moon and relax? It's such a quiet night, maybe I haven't walked outside with you for a long time." Xiao Jun embraced She walked slowly along the Taiye Pool, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers in the dark night, and suddenly asked: "After you returned to the palace, did you not visit the Empress Dowager?"

Qingchen hurriedly said: "It's not that the concubine doesn't understand etiquette, it's just that since returning to the palace, the concubine hasn't had a moment of leisure, and it really hasn't had time to catch her breath."

Xiao Jun naturally knew the reason, thought for a while and said, "I know you can't help yourself, but since you have returned to the palace, it is better to go to the old ancestor's place as soon as possible to please her."

"Yes, I obey. In the morning, I will go to Yongshou Palace. Besides, my ancestors are about to leave for the palace to escape the summer heat. I also want to ask Nanny Gui about many things. I am the head of the family, no matter what. You have to take good care of her old man first." It was rare for the two of them to walk together, talking about trivial matters in the palace.

Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, she pressed down the turbulent chores in her heart. At this time, she also wanted to have a moment of peace in her heart. Qingchen asked softly: "The emperor thinks that the moonlight in the Valley of Evil Doctors is good. Or is the moonlight in this palace better?"
