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

Chapter 1096 The Intentions Are Sinister (12)
Jinxiu said in a dazed way: "Mother, I understand what you mean, as long as we break the emperor's trust in Concubine Xian little by little, and when there is a suitable opportunity to tear off her mask, then she is really finished. Therefore, before this, we must not complain in front of the emperor, let alone have any slanderous words to make the emperor feel that the empress is dissatisfied with the concubine Xian. The more the empress treats her kindly in front of the emperor, once the emperor becomes suspicious, then he will I am even more dissatisfied with Concubine Xian, and even feel that it is worthless for the empress. But we can no longer pamper her like this, we must force her to take action against the empress under the circumstances we can control."

"Yeah, I can't be so passive anymore. I'm really scared. I'm afraid that the people around me will be like Liang Jieyu again and get hurt because of my indecision. But Jinxiu, do you know that if I do this, I will be hurt." I'm not happy at all, even if there is a real fight someday, I will only feel sad." Qingchen's words were full of unspeakable sadness and melancholy, this kind of mood is different from when she drove Concubine Shu to a dead end. The mood at that time was really different, there was no relaxation and joy, and some were just heavy and sad.

At this point, Jinxiu felt uncomfortable, but she was more angry, not hating the virtuous concubine for competing for favor, but despising her unscrupulous methods.

"Your Majesty, don't think so much. If you have this thought, why not think about how to serve the Emperor well."

Qingchen slightly raised her lips, and said softly: "Yes, why not think about how to serve the emperor well."

Early the next morning, Jinxiu left the palace with the token of Duanyang Palace in her pocket. She went out early in the morning and didn't come back until it was dark. She is a martial arts practitioner. When she was outside the palace, she clearly felt that someone was following her. But she was quickly thrown away.

After coming back, she had a secret discussion with Qingchen, and Qingchen asked her to go to Xiaoyinzi to discuss this matter. It is not so easy to bring people into a place like the imperial palace.

When everything was arranged properly, five or six days had passed, Gu Yunfeng had also prepared all the medicinal materials she wanted, everything was ready, Qingchen just waited for Ye Hanyu to bring the emperor to Xingshi to question her.

It was clearly stated on the prescription that the medicine had to be taken at noon to be effective. Looking at the bowl of black concoction that Yun Lan brought up, Qingchen's obsidian-like eyes were as cold as the surface of a lake on a cold day. , what to face next, everything is under her control, as long as Concubine Xian dares to come, she will let her know what harming others and herself is.

Seeing that the time was coming, Qingchen smiled slightly, and picked up the bowl of concoction that smelled bitter, and before it was delivered to his mouth, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then he saw the emperor's wind Stepping in with normal strides, Qingchen hurriedly put down the medicine bowl in his hand and got up to salute, "Good luck, your majesty, my concubine is waiting for your majesty to have lunch."

There was clearly a trace of panic in his demeanor, but he saw that the emperor directly picked up the medicine bowl without saying anything, sniffed the smell of the medicine lightly, and then took another sip, before turning around in relief and facing Wei who followed in. Rong Hua raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did you get the news that you dare to talk nonsense here?"

Wei Ronghua hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine is not talking nonsense. This bowl of medicine is really made with the baby's heart and soul. If you don't believe me, the Emperor can ask the imperial doctor to verify it."

Just now the emperor was in a hurry, so Wei Ronghua came in first, so she didn't see the emperor taste the medicine.

Xiao Jun sneered, ignored the people kneeling on the ground, and asked Qingchen instead: "I heard that you have a secret recipe for childbirth here, can you show it to me?"

Qingchen's heart sank slightly, he didn't expect things to happen so suddenly, indeed Concubine Xian was cunning, she refused to come forward for such a thing, but forced Wei Ronghua to come and die for her.

Qing Chen signaled Yun Lan to get the prescription, and then asked Wei Ronghua, "How do you know what's in this bowl of medicine in this palace? Who told you?"

Wei Ronghua's hands trembled a little, but he retorted with a firm tone: "The concubine heard about the secret recipe that the empress sent someone to find outside the palace by accident, and the concubine also has real evidence, does the empress still want to quibble?"

Qingchen asked coldly: "What is your so-called real evidence?"

Wei Ronghua didn't answer her, but turned to the emperor and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine uses the baby's heart and blood as medicine, which can be said to be inhumane. Someone picked up a piece of blood by the Yu River flowing outside the palace this morning There was no baby in the blood-stained swaddle on the bed. The concubine guessed that the poor child must have died and was thrown into the river. It is unexpected that the imperial concubine would drink the heart of a baby so heartlessly for her own selfishness. Blood, how can such a person be worthy of being a mother, even if God is blind and really gave the imperial concubine a child, aren't you afraid that the dead baby will claim your child's life?"

"Nonsense!" Xiao Jun grabbed the colored-glazed thin-bodied flower-and-bird white porcelain teacup on the table, and slammed it in front of Wei Ronghua. Even though Qingchen was not pregnant yet, he would not allow anyone to curse them like this The child who is yet to come.

Qingchen looked at Wei Ronghua coldly and didn't refute. The less she said at this time, the more wronged she was. When the truth came out, the emperor would be annoyed at them for telling stories, and the punishment would naturally be harsher.

Yun Lan took the prescription, but still looked at her worriedly, Qing Chen signaled her to hand over the item to the emperor, Xiao Jun took it and looked at it for a while, then threw it on the kang table with a chuckle and asked, "Who gave it to the emperor?" You found something like this? How could you believe in such a baseless prescription?"

Qingchen replied aggrieved: "Of course the concubine doesn't believe it, but if the concubine says that this prescription was given to the concubine by Sister Ye, will the emperor believe it?"

"Who? Concubine Xian gave it to you?" The emperor obviously couldn't believe his ears, "How could there be such a thing in Concubine Xian's hands?"

Qingchen said urgently: "Your Majesty, how dare the concubine lie about such a matter? Elder Sister Ye originally said that she wanted to keep this prescription for herself, but she didn't need it when she had Heng'er, so she took this prescription away." It was forwarded to the concubine. The emperor thought about it carefully, if the concubine sent someone to search for it, he would definitely keep it secret. How would Wei Ronghua know? Besides, since the concubine entered the palace, there are countless things. I haven't figured it out yet, how can I send someone to look for this kind of thing? With Imperial Physician Gu taking care of my body, does my wife need to do such an outrageous thing?"

The emperor was about to speak when Wei Ronghua yelled relentlessly: "Your majesty, the imperial concubine is lying. A few days ago, someone in the palace saw Jinxiu secretly hiding a woman and a child. Every meal time, someone would bring her food, and this lasted for several days, but today the woman and child suddenly disappeared, maybe it was the imperial concubine who killed her and silenced her, I don't know."
