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

Chapter 1105 The Intentions Are Sinister (21)
Jingshu really doesn't know how to answer such a thing, not to mention that she has never experienced the relationship between men and women, even if she really has someone she likes, how can she like it or not, how can it be a later choice?

After Jingshu sighed softly, he comforted: "Mother, you are tired today, what's the matter, go back and wash up and rest for a while before talking about it. It's getting dark, and the Third Highness hasn't seen you for so long, maybe it's time I was looking for you crying. Not for anything else, even if it is for the Third Highness, you must calm down and don't do something irrational in anger. Not too late."

A hint of hope suddenly ignited in Yubi's tired expression, and her steps seemed to be much more steady than Shicai's. It was the belief that supported her. No matter at any time, the child was the most comforting thing.

"Yes, fortunately I still have Heng'er, at least I still have a child who can pass the lonely days. The future will be long, so why should I be anxious, as long as the emperor likes Heng'er, who can predict what will happen in the future? "

There are fights among the concubines, don't there be any among the princes? Isn't everyone as humble as Xin Shuyuan?People with heirs will more or less have desires, after all, that position is too tempting.

Qingchen just returned to Dongnuan Pavilion and hadn't settled down yet, when Qinxue followed up and said, "Niang Niang, Concubine Yu is gone."

"It's good to go. If you kneel down again, it seems that this palace intends to humiliate her." After saying this lightly, she opened the account book and checked the expenses in the moon palace, as if nothing happened. Same happened.

Qinxue curled her lips, and muttered in a low voice, "Concubine Yu is getting more and more miserable now. This is turning black and white, and her face doesn't change color. It's obvious that she was sorry for the empress first, but she said it as if the empress did it." What heinous thing failed her. How can a person who usually looks gentle, docile, and knowledgeable be so terrible when he makes trouble for no reason?"

Qingchen didn't seem to hear her dissatisfaction, and ordered without raising her head: "Go and wash all the melons and fruits in the small kitchen, and bring them up after dinner, and send Chang Xi to the imperial court to ask when the emperor will come down to use them." Dinner?"

"Yes, I will obey." Qinxue hurriedly agreed, then turned around and retreated.

Not long after, word came in from outside, saying that the emperor was going to have dinner in the imperial study tonight, so she didn't have to wait, so Qingchen asked Jinxiu to bring over the stewed chicken soup.

The emperor looked at the purple ginseng and black chicken soup in front of him, lost his mind for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Fuquan, do you think it is because I give too much to the imperial concubine that people hate it, so that even the jade concubine is born?" Feeling jealous? Is it true that I really should go to the other concubines for a walk, rain and dew, maybe the harem will be less jealous, and the imperial concubine will no longer be the target of public criticism. It's not that I don't know, since she came back Gong, how many troubles I have suffered in the open and in the dark are all because of my favor. But I also know that she actually doesn't like me going to other people's place."

Seeing that the emperor's thoughts were so contradictory, Fuquan thought for a while, bowed and smiled and said: "The slaves can't guess what the masters of the harem are thinking, but they also know that they all have the same desire for the emperor's blessing. The imperial concubine just returned to the palace There is nothing wrong with the emperor going to her a few more times, after all, he has just taken over the affairs of the harem, if he can see the emperor often, it will be convenient for the imperial concubine to discuss some matters with the emperor, so there is no need to bother to ask for an audience."

After all, he was an old man next to the emperor, and what he said was impeccable and impartial, even if it was spread, it would not offend anyone.The emperor also knew that perhaps Fuquan didn't mean to be so tactful on purpose, but that it was useless to tell him about the harem, so he stopped talking and bowed his head to eat.

After dinner, the emperor began to concentrate on critiquing the papers until the end of the Xu Dynasty, when he took Fuquan to Duanyang Palace.

Walking halfway, he saw a group of people in front of him holding lanterns and heading towards the Qixiang Palace. Even though it was far away, the emperor recognized Qing Chen who was stumbling and walking in pearl shoes at a glance.

It was so late, and she came out in such a hurry, something bad must have happened, the emperor thought so, and quickened his pace to chase her.

Yun Lan turned her head inadvertently, and saw the emperor rushing up with Fuquan, she hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here."

Qing Chen stopped and turned around, saw Xiao Jun walking over quickly and asked: "It's already this hour, what are you going to do, but is there anything urgent?"

Qing Chen was about to bend down to salute, but he was lifted up by him, held her hand and said, "There's no need to be too polite, just tell me what happened."

With his hand wrapped in his palm like this, feeling the warmth from the emperor, Qingchen seemed to have taken a reassurance, and suddenly felt a lot more at ease, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, all concubines are not good, and their abilities are limited. I also can't figure out what is right and wrong in this harem. Someone from Qixiang Palace came to report that Shu Gui was suddenly poisoned and passed out, and the concubine didn't know what happened, so he brought people over in a hurry and ordered people to pass on the news. Imperial doctor, since the emperor is here, why don't you go and see Mr. Shu Gui?"

The emperor embraced her and supported her arm vigorously, but his pace didn't speed up much. While walking, he thought about it: "Mr. Shu Gui is restraining her feet, and she lives alone in Qixiang Palace, so she got hit for no reason." Poison, it makes me a little confused about what's going on."

Qingchen also nodded and said, "The concubine was also thinking about this just now. If there is no problem with the food, there must be other ways. In short, let's go and see Mr. Shugui first. I only guess on the road, I am afraid I can't think of it." This is why."

The emperor snorted coldly, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction, "They really can make troubles, so they won't let me stop for a while."

Qingchen didn't know what kind of conspiracy was behind this matter, or Shu Gui had offended someone before, so he was secretly retaliated against when he was in trouble, or this matter was still aimed at her, so she took over With the power in the harem, accidents happen one after another. Those who know it naturally understand that someone is deliberately playing tricks behind the scenes. Those who don't know it think that she, the imperial concubine, is incompetent and her prestige is not enough to suppress everyone, so the harem keeps going wrong.

But at this time, what should be said on the scene still has to be said, with a little bit of shame, Qingchen said softly: "Your Majesty, it is because the concubine did not think carefully that someone took the opportunity to kill Shu Gui. Why did people poison Shu Gui, the ministers and concubines will definitely do their best to find out the truth, and they will never just let it go."

In the dark night, the emperor's eyes were bright and cold, and his voice was as cold as his gaze, "How can I blame you for this matter, if you did it intentionally, you were only on guard for a while. People like it, but poisoning her is a bit too much, I really don't know what kind of heart these people have, how they want to take people's lives so often, why are they so vicious?"
