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

1123 Chapter 12 Conspiracy of Each Other ([-])
After leaving the Bingquan Palace, Qingchen ordered Yunlan to say: "Let Xiao Yinzi secretly investigate to see who has handled the rouge and gouache in the Queen's Palace. Once the suspect is identified, I will allow him to do whatever he wants. The interrogation made it clear. I don't want the queen to die. How easy it is to die. A pair of white silk and a cup of poisoned wine can save me. I want her to live. Life is worse than death! She has done so many evil things. Having been stained with the blood of so many people, she should spend the rest of her life to atone for her sins. So many innocent people died at her hands, why should she cancel them all with one life?"

Yun Lan replied with a cold snort: "Your Majesty said that letting her die like this is really too cheap for her."

Passing through the Imperial Garden and seeing Liang Shuyi's Qixiang Palace from a distance, Qingchen said helplessly: "Yun Lan, you can go to Liang Shuyi's place for me later, and comfort her a little bit, although Master Ji was imprisoned , but the emperor just locked him up and didn't convict him, so let her stop acting impulsively and give me some time to think of a solution."

Yun Lan felt sorry for her embarrassment, and said softly: "Your Majesty has put in all her efforts for the sake of the emperor. You must not let the emperor think that your empress is a harem meddling in politics, but also let the emperor know the power of this, and you must act in a roundabout way on behalf of Mr. Ji." , and it’s really difficult for the empress.”

"If I really have the ability to win everyone comprehensively, then my hard work will be worth it. I'm afraid I don't have that ability. The emperor had hatred in his heart before, and he was merciless in rectifying the court. It was because of the anger in his heart. He chopped down the old tree in the court hall. Although removing the dead branches and leaves will bring new vitality, it will inevitably hurt the healthy and strong branches, which are the pillars of the court. Just cut it like this , is really regrettable.”

Qingchen racked his brains and couldn't think of a good solution for a while, so he inevitably felt a little gloomy.

After returning to the palace, she took a shower and changed her clothes. Since it was getting late, it was already time for dinner, so she changed into a homely emerald gauze dress, put on a few jade hairpins, tied her hair up simply, and waited for the emperor Come down for dinner.

Xiao Jun came late because of the busy state affairs. The emperor stepped into the palace with a sweltering heat and saw that she was dressed in a clean and refreshing way, and the room was cool and comfortable, so he felt a little bit happier, and said with a smile: "My Chen'er looks good no matter how she dresses up. In this hot day, I was very anxious. Seeing you like this, it's like drinking ice-cold mung bean soup. I feel very comfortable."

Qingchen took the tea from Yunlan and put it in front of the emperor, saying: "We will have dinner later, and it is not appropriate to eat something too cold at this time. The emperor should drink a cup of lotus core tea and have a meal after a break." As he spoke, he picked up his round fan with a jade handle, stood beside him and fanned him gently.

The emperor took a sip of lotus core tea, and accidentally smelled a faint fragrance from her body. He couldn't help but put the teacup down and dragged her into his arms. He sniffed in her ear and asked, "Is it smoked?" What kind of fragrance smells so good, it's kind of like the cold fragrance of plum blossoms."

The servants in the room saw that the emperor had started to untie her clothes, so they all tactfully blessed her and retreated. Qingchen naturally felt the emperor's restlessness, but dinner was about to come, so Pushing him and saying: "It's a hot day, let the girls smoke some plum blossom fragrance on their clothes, and take advantage of the cold fragrance to soothe the mind and calm the mind. The emperor rests for a while, is he ready for dinner?"

But Xiao Jun ignored her reluctance at all, and whispered with her ear in his mouth: "Princess Shouyang's plum blossom fragrance really deserves its reputation, but why don't you try to make some incense from Empress Li's tent?" While speaking, the emperor's voice was already hoarse with impatience, and he took off his outer shirt in a few strokes.

At this time, it was as if there was a stove next to him, Qingchen was really not in the mood to be happy with him at the moment, so he pushed him and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine is hot."

The emperor put her down on the heating kang, pushed her up, and said with an ambiguous smile, "I'm hot too, really hot..."

After all this tossing, she lost her appetite to eat, and waited on the emperor to bathe and change clothes, and only ate some lotus seed soup with him. Seeing that he didn't seem to want to leave, she remembered what happened in the queen's palace during the day, so she said : "Your Majesty, something happened in the empress's palace, I wonder if the Emperor has heard about it?"

"I know." Xiao Jun idly flipped through the account books she copied under the lamp, and said indifferently: "You can investigate this matter, and deal with it according to the palace rules when you find out the results."

Qingchen got up and stood behind him, gently fanned him and asked: "The emperor trusts the concubine so much, is it definitely not the concubine who wants to murder the queen?"

The emperor didn't look up, but just smiled and said: "Why did you murder her? Now you are in charge of the harem, and you have everything you need. Why bother to provoke the empress for nothing."

"However, there are also people who say that the concubine murdered the queen in order to replace her." After hesitating for a while, Qingchen still said: "After all, in the eyes of outsiders, without the queen, the concubine, the imperial concubine, will not be able to become a royal concubine very soon." Queen?"

"Then do you want to?" Xiao Jun looked back at her and asked with a gentle smile, "Do you want that position?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but I don't have the qualifications, and I don't force things that don't belong to me." Seeing that the emperor seemed very interested in listening to her, she went on to say: "Being a queen is not just for the emperor. Doting is enough, and the concubine has no merit in the country at present, and has no successor in the dragon's veins. How can she be qualified to be the mother of the world?

Besides, as long as the concubines are by the emperor's side, it doesn't matter whether it's the queen or the imperial concubine, the concubines don't care about their status at all, the emperor knows it.Taking a step back, the emperor knows what the empress did. If the concubine really wants that position, she can write a letter to expose the empress's crimes and let the emperor send her out. Why use such a stupid way to poison the empress , carrying the eternal infamy of charming the emperor and bewitching the lord, and killing the queen? "

Seeing her serious appearance, Xiao Jun laughed dumbly, threw away the things in her hand, took her into her arms and asked, "Are you charming the Lord? I think there is a little bit of it. Otherwise, why can't I let you go? Whether you are Not the queen, in my heart, you are my wife."

Tightening his arms, the emperor said seriously: "Chen'er, promise me that you will not let me become a lonely family. I just hope that you can be my good wife and spend this life with me caringly."

It's not that he can't understand the loneliness in his heart, the emperor is untrustworthy, this kind of feeling is not good, the pressure he endured before is far from what she saw.

Besides himself, who else can he trust wholeheartedly? Qingchen is very distressed, but he also understands what he means. He does not allow too many other things between the two of them. It is not because he is worried about her interference in the government affairs. , but afraid that one day he will lose himself in the face of power.
