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

Chapter 648 Breaking through the secret (2)
"You can see it too?" Qingchen recalled the smell of the herbal medicine carefully, but couldn't remember what it was for a while, after all, it was just a glance, even though there was a little smell on the veil, it still didn't matter. It was almost covered up by the smell of the rouge, she wanted to take it back and let Gu Yunfeng identify it, but who knew that Liang Jieyu was so cautious, the more cautious she was, the more she felt that something was wrong.

"It turns out that she has always been in contact with Concubine Li in secret. The Empress Dowager has never hesitated to please Concubine Li, and Liang Jieyu has always been Anshun and doesn't ask about other people's affairs. Why does she only have a secret relationship with Concubine Li?"

Yun Lan naturally also smelled the scent of rouge in Liang Jieyu's room. Hearing what Qingchen said, she quickly figured out why she doubted Liang Jieyu so much, she nodded thoughtfully and said, "Your Majesty, think about it. How can a concubine in the palace not care about the emperor's favor, unless she has someone else in her heart, but what kind of good man does she like, who can make her even look down on the emperor? She has contacts with concubine Li , Could it be that she has something to do with the Xie family?"

Qingchen's heart twitched violently, it was the Xie family again, even if it had nothing to do with the Xie family, it would definitely not be a good thing to speculate with Concubine Li like this.

"Liang Jieyu is the daughter of the Ji family. I heard that Mrs. Ji is also a civil servant who is clean and self-sufficient, and that she has a part-time job in the Ministry of Rites. How could they have anything to do with the Xie family? Maybe we were wrong, maybe it was Li The imperial concubine might have something to do with Liang Jieyu, that box of medicine powder... Maybe I'm just too sensitive."

Qingchen said this, but there was always a feeling of self-deception, but if Concubine Li really used some means to control Liang Jieyu to do shameful things for her, it must be aimed at the Queen Mother, and Qingchen has no power to control her. Whether it is to the original owner of this body or to the current self, the Queen Mother is a great threat. Just look at how she can't tolerate Concubine Li's children so much.It's the best of humanity for her not to harm her. As for the others, she doesn't want to be troubled.

What a smart person Yun Lan is. Hearing what she said, she already understood that she didn't want to get involved in this matter, so she changed the subject with a smile, "Maybe we are really overthinking. Madam, you see that the roses in this garden are blooming so well. Don't you like rose cakes the most, why don't you ask someone to pick some, so we can make our own cakes in our small kitchen?"

Qingchen's eyes were also attracted by the rich and fragrant flowers in the flower garden, and he nodded and said, "That's okay, the first stubble flowers are the most fragrant, and they bloom well, and they are really good for making pastries. When they are ready, I will give some to Sister Ye." go."

Yun Lan supported her to walk slowly on the path while admiring the scenery, "Your Majesty is always like this, you can never forget He Shuyi."

Qingchen said warmly in his heart: "My sister treats me so well on weekdays, I should do everything as I should."

After the incident of the evil talisman passed, Concubine Li was quiet for two days. When she received the news from Liang Jieyu that day, she was about to collapse. Under the instigation of the Queen Mother, it's no wonder that my body is getting worse day by day. If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before my child will be lost.

In Shufang Pavilion, Concubine Li had been waiting for a long time, but she didn't see Xiao Jue coming to the appointment, so she asked someone to urge her again.After waiting for a long time, Xiao Jue came to see her by himself with a heavy face.

Seeing his cold and distant appearance, Concubine Li couldn't help sneering and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean that you just don't want to see me? I'm a pregnant woman, and you have to wait here for nearly two hours before you agree to see me." Come on, it really is big enough!"

Xiao Jue's expression was cold, and there was still some pain and disappointment that could not be concealed in his eyes, "Concubine Li, please tell me what's going on, if people see it, I'm afraid it will affect your reputation."

Concubine Li sneered sharply: "Really, did your Highness think that it would affect my reputation when I had a spring evening with me in the Plum Garden?"

"You!" It's okay not to mention it, but when it was mentioned, Xiao Jue gritted his teeth angrily. She was obviously the one who plotted against him, but instead she used this matter to blackmail him, but Xiao Jue still thought that she was a woman and wanted to give She kept a thin face, and couldn't bear to expose her, so as not to become angry from embarrassment, and even the remaining affection in the past would all turn into resentment.

"Why did you come to me? Tell me. I don't have time to argue with you, and I don't want to bring up that matter again. It won't do you any good if you talk about it." Xiao Jue's tone was cold. Very, faintly impatient.

Concubine Li dismissed the people around her, hugged his arm and said tearfully: "Your Highness, save our child, I beg you, this child does not belong to the emperor, he belongs to you!"

Xiao Jue suddenly turned his head to look at Concubine Li, his face instantly turned gray and stiff, he opened his mouth, but was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

"Don't talk nonsense, this kind of thing will kill your head. Even if you have any embarrassing things to entrust me to do, you don't have to use this method to force me to submit!"

"You think I'm lying to you? You go to the imperial hospital to check my pulse rate to see if I'm pregnant at the right time?" Concubine Li looked at him in pain, and said decisively: "I'm pregnant. It’s me, don’t I know who the father of my child is?” Even though she really didn’t know if the child belonged to Xiao Jue, in order to keep him, she could only deceive Xiao Jue in this way, because she really The thing is there is no other way.

Xiao Jue swayed twice, and pulled out Concubine Li's arm holding him forcefully, her heart was cold and blank, she said the child was his, the child was his...

The escapade with her already made him regret endlessly, but now she is still pregnant with his child, Xiao Jue scolded himself for being damned in his heart, leaning on the pillar beside him, his face was so pale that he couldn't speak for a long time.

But Concubine Li didn't give him any time to adapt, and said anxiously: "Just now, Liang Jieyu sent someone to tell me that the queen mother secretly ordered the two imperial doctors who gave me an abortion to take away my child quietly. Originally, only the emperor and the empress knew about this matter, but Liang Jieyu was serving the empress dowager, and she heard the clue from the conversation between the empress dowager and the nuns beside her, so she took the risk of sending someone to tell me. Even the emperor doesn't want this child. Could it be that he became suspicious? Xiao Jue, help me, I don't want our child to just disappear anyway, I beg you, this is your child too, isn't it? Is it? You are the child's own father, except us, I am afraid that no one wants him to be born in this world..."

As Concubine Li was talking, she was already sobbing, and now she really had no one to turn to except Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue still stood aside with dull eyes, no matter how much Concubine Li pulled and shook him, he was like a puppet and let her manipulate him but he couldn't recover. This matter was really too hard for him to accept.
