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

Chapter 657 Concubine Chen is Pregnant (3)
Xiao Jun sighed again: "You couldn't bear to slap Concubine Li. I was there at the time, and she was pregnant. If you couldn't give a valid reason, how could I not uphold justice for her? I want you to apologize, too. If you wanted to turn the big thing into a small one, if you were obedient at the time, why did you alarm the queen and let her find an excuse to abolish your concubine position? A momentary impulse almost ruined your future. After this Can you learn a lesson in the future?"

"Didn't all the concubines admit their mistakes to the emperor? Even if they are saints, they will inevitably make no mistakes in their lives, let alone someone else deliberately framed them. Could it be that the concubines are all at fault?"

Xiao Jun said helplessly: "I didn't say it was all your fault, I just hope that you will act more cautiously in the future, and this is also for your own good. Forget it, let's not talk about it, Sangzhou Weaving Mansion has paid a lot of tribute this year. Good silk and satin, since you want to make small clothes, I will send some more to your palace later, but don’t tire yourself too much, he is my prince, can I still wear clothes without him? When you entered the palace, you only embroidered two purses and one pajamas for me, after all, I am not as important as the child in your heart."

Qingchen couldn't help but chuckle again, "The emperor is wearing a dragon robe, even if the concubine has the guts to make a dragon robe privately?"

Xiao Jun snorted lightly, "There is no need to make excuses if you are heartless, I hurt you for nothing."

Fu Quan brought Gu Yunfeng in, saw that Gu Yunfeng was also happy, came in and greeted the emperor, and said: "Congratulations to the concubine Chen, Mrs. Fu said that the lady is not feeling well, can I let the minister take a pulse first?"

Qingchen covered his wrist with a handkerchief, and while Gu Yunfeng was in the middle of asking for a pulse, the emperor asked again: "Where are the maids serving you by your side, why don't you bring any of them with you?"

Qingchen responded lightly, "The emperor asked his concubines to kneel as a punishment, and it's not a good thing. Why did the concubines let them suffer with them, so he didn't bring them here."

"It's outrageous. How can there be a reason for a master to suffer while a slave is watching?" Xiao Jun turned around and asked Fu Quan, "Did you inform the servants of Duanyang Palace about the concubine Chen's pregnancy?"

Fu Quan hurriedly said: "The notification has been made, and now everyone in Duanyang Palace, led by Yun Lan, is cleaning up the palace for the empress."

Xiao Jun had no choice but to say: "Then I will personally send Concubine Chen back later."

After taking the pulse, Gu Yunfeng said: "It's not a serious problem, but the lady seems to be a little annoyed and tired, which makes the fetal image unstable. The minister brought a pill to protect the fetus, and the lady took the pill first. Wait until the empress returns to the palace, and then take the decoction after dinner."

Qingchen deliberately said pitifully: "The emperor said that he punished me not to have dinner."

Gu Yunfeng was slightly taken aback, seeing Xiao Jun's mouth twitched, she turned her face away and said nothing.

Fuquan also felt that it was difficult to deal with. The emperor's imperial decree had not been handed down, so he didn't know whether to say it now. He was in a dilemma, so he took the opportunity to ask cautiously: "Your Majesty, you said before that the Duanyang Palace fined the salary. thing……"

"What kind of salary should I pay? Concubine Chen is pregnant. I'm still afraid that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not take care of it well. Let me tell you that from today onwards, the things that are sent to Concubine Chen's palace don't have to follow the rules. You can give whatever you need, and the matter of confinement will come later." Let’s talk about it.” Xiao Jun asked Gu Yunfeng again: “From now on, you will take care of Concubine Chen’s fetus until she gives birth. She is weak, so you should be more careful and tell me in time if you have any questions. Everything will be handled by them. Mother and child first, remember?"

Gu Yunfeng hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes, I have made a note, I will definitely take good care of your empress' body, the emperor can rest assured."

Seeing that the emperor was willing to believe her, Qingchen said softly again: "The concubine has something to say, I don't know if it should be said or not? Although the emperor asked the empress to find out the reason why he and Shuyi fell into the water, but before the concubine came to the imperial study I also took a detour to see the boats that docked at the eye bank, and I had doubts in my heart, so I sent someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inquire, but who knows that it is a little different from what the empress found."

Xiao Jun looked at her slightly, then asked, "What did you find?"

Qingchen hesitated again and again before saying: "The concubine had a conflict with concubine Li just now, the emperor may think that the concubine is slandering her, but the concubine wants to ask the emperor to summon someone, the emperor must think about his words."

Xiao Jun's face was serious, she stood with her hands behind her back and asked, "Who do you want me to summon?"

"Xia Zhong, the chief eunuch in charge of the servants in the Imperial Garden of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The emperor said to Fuquan without hesitation: "Broadcast to Xia Zhong."

Fuquan hurriedly delivered an order to call someone, and Qingchen felt a little relieved.Just now, the queen was here, and the emperor was angry again, so she couldn't talk about some things.She slapped Concubine Li in a fit of anger, and as a result, the plan that was almost connected was disrupted. If the emperor refused to believe her, it would be useless for her to tell the evidence.Now that he is willing to believe her, the next thing will be easy to talk about.

When Xia Zhong was brought to him, he first knelt on the ground and saluted. The emperor turned his head to look at Qingchen. Qingchen knew that the emperor didn't know what she wanted to ask, so he said to Xia Zhong: "Eunuch Xia, the emperor has something to ask you. , you have to answer truthfully."

Xia Zhong didn't dare to raise his head, he just kowtowed on the ground and said: "If the emperor and the empress ask, I will know everything and talk about everything."

Qingchen asked in a gentle tone: "Did Mr. Xia just bring people down to the lake to clean up the water plants in the lake before? Did you find any problems with the boats you used at that time?"

Because the water and grass are too luxuriant near the shore, the overgrown weeds affect the landscape, and the handyman who manages the imperial garden has to go into the water to clean it every once in a while. Eunuch Xia hurriedly replied: "If you go back to your mother, the previous servant did take people into the lake. After clearing the water weeds, there is no problem with the boat.”

Qingchen asked again, "Grandpa Xia, are you sure? Are there any ships with rotting bottoms that you didn't realize were also parked on the shore?"

Eunuch Xia hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is impossible. Many of the slaves in the palace can't swim, so every spring when they release boats into the lake, they always check repeatedly whether there is any problem with the boats. The boats that came down were all carefully repaired and reinforced, and absolutely no dilapidated boats with rotten bottoms were launched into the water."

Qingchen glanced at the emperor's gradually cooling expression, and asked softly as if adding fuel to the fire, "Then why did I see that the bottoms of the boats parked on the shore are all rotten and damaged, and they almost The rescue and Shuyi were delayed, so many people fell into the water, if there is no time to rescue them, wouldn't they all be buried at the bottom of the lake?"

Eunuch Xia thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty said that the servants saw it too, and the servants didn't know how to answer it. They only knew that the disused boats were dragged into the water for some reason, and the ones used by the servants A few boats were left in the warehouse."

　There are still various requests, there are four updates today.
