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

Chapter 658 Concubine Chen is Pregnant (4)
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."

"So that's how it is." Seeing Xiao Jun's lips pursed tightly, his face livid and silent, Qing Chen asked again: "Is there anything else you want to ask, Your Majesty?"

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Xiao Jun waved to Xia Zhong: "I see, you have nothing to do here, you can go back."

Xia Zhong kowtowed and got up, took a few steps back, and followed Eunuch Fu out.

The emperor's expression was gloomy, he just stared at the piles of memorials on the heating kang in a daze, and from his hesitant attitude, Qingchen knew that he wanted to appease Concubine Li again.Concubine Li was pregnant and could not be promoted. She felt that she had been greatly wronged. The emperor seemed to owe her something for this. Besides, the queen mother even ordered the emperor to kill her child secretly. From this point of view, Xiao Jun is indeed I'm sorry for her.

Now, if you want to thoroughly investigate this matter, it's not like you won't be able to find out the truth, but if it's really Concubine Li's doing, no matter how angry the emperor is, I'm afraid he can't punish her at this time.

"Chen'er, why do you think Concubine Li wants to harm He Shuyi?"

Qingchen said lightly: "The emperor must have heard about it. Concubine Li has been very close to the Ye family recently. Why did she want to harm He Shuyi? With the emperor's wisdom, it is not difficult to guess her purpose. It's not that the emperor doesn't know, but he just doesn't want to pursue it. .”

Xiao Jun was silent for a while and then said: "Yes, I really don't want to pursue it. There is one thing that you probably don't know. The Queen Mother did not allow Concubine Li to give birth to this child. I... agreed to the Queen Mother's request, so I always feel a little sorry. Let her live, I promise you, I will only forgive her this time as compensation, and this time will not be an example."

The emperor knew very well that Concubine Li was not the real Xie Wanyi, and she did not have the slightest sisterhood towards Ye Hanyu, so the emperor would not be surprised by what she did.

Although she already knew about this matter, Qingchen still looked a little surprised, and then smiled wryly: "Then sister Ye's grievances are not in vain?"

"How could it be in vain? Do you really think that I don't know the purpose of your hard investigation?" Xiao Jun's tone was very firm, and her words were very direct, which made Qingchen feel a little uncomfortable, and frowned. "You let me see how ambitious this woman is and how vicious her heart is. From then on, will I treat her the same way as before? You broke my heart of favor for her. Isn't that the biggest punishment for a concubine?"

Yes, no matter whether it is demotion or confinement, it is far inferior to the heart of punishing others.

He saw through it again, she could fight every woman in the palace, but she couldn't hide her thoughts from his deep eyes.

Qingchen lowered his eyes and said: "This is not the intention of the concubine, but I just don't want to make sister Ye feel wronged, and I don't want the emperor to misunderstand the concubine. Since the emperor has already made a decision, the concubine does not want to embarrass the emperor. It’s good to do it for yourself, and it’s good to take the opportunity to have a heart of repentance.”

Xiao Jun leaned over and held her hand and said: "Chen'er, no matter how big a mistake Concubine Li made, the child is innocent. I am sorry for her, and thank you for understanding my difficulties."

The matter was within her expectation, or she did not expect to bring down Concubine Li because of this matter, so she pursed her lips slightly and said: "Your Majesty, this concubine understands your mood, you should go see Sister Ye more often." , don't chill her heart."

Xiao Jun nodded gently, "I know."

After Qingchen took the medicine, she rested in the imperial study for a while. Seeing that it was late, she wanted to go back to the palace for dinner. Even if it was for the sake of her children, she had to eat something nutritious as much as possible.

Xiao Jun leaned over and hugged her and said, "I will send you back."

It's not too far from the imperial study to Duanyang Palace, Qingchen thought that the emperor would send her back with the imperial chariot, but he didn't expect him to carry their mother and son all the way to Duanyang Palace.

Qingchen felt it was inappropriate, afraid that people would see it and cause criticism, so he said: "The emperor let the concubine come down, the concubine will not be tired after walking such a few steps, lest people see and gossip."

Xiao Jun smiled indifferently and said, "What are you afraid of? I am holding my prince. Are you afraid that someone will gossip? Since there are only a few steps away, what if I carry you back? I am happy, so why don't I ask them?" consent?"

Qingchen leaned on his shoulder, smelling the scent of ambergris on his body, and softly complained: "Nowadays, there are not only concubines who are pregnant in the palace. If the emperor favors the concubines, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction again. gone."

Xiao Jun snorted softly, and even her gaze seemed a little cold, "You don't need to worry so much, don't listen to gossip, just take care of the baby, and I will take care of the other things for you. You are pregnant with me. The most precious prince, in the future no one will surpass him in dignity, I will not allow him to make any mistakes, do you understand?"

"The concubine knows that no matter what happens, she will protect our child." At this moment, she suddenly had the urge to cry. It must be the blessing of their mother and child that he valued her so much.

The Duanyang Palace is still busy at the moment, seeing the emperor holding her back, and the servants who came to congratulate her kneeling in the courtyard, Xiao Jun was in a good mood, and immediately said: "According to the usual practice, everyone has a share, so take care Serving your mother, I will reward you in the future."

Everyone thanked her happily, Xiao Jun directly carried her into the inner room, put her on the bed carefully and said: "Let's rest for a while, later I will let them serve you on the bed for dinner, there is no need to get up."

"Your majesty, the concubine is not that delicate. What does it look like to have dinner on the bed? If it gets out, won't people say that the concubine is frivolous?" Just now, I was punished to kneel outside the imperial study. How can I even eat dinner now? Got someone to feed?
Xiao Jun saw that the mattresses had been replaced with new ones, and that many flowers and plants that had been placed in the room had also been moved out, leaving only a few pots of elegant orchids on the flower stand in the corner, and a few pots of gardenias in full bloom. Smelling fragrance faintly, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's so good, with Yunlan here, I can rest assured, and I'll find a few more experienced nuns to serve you later."

Qingchen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there's no need. Although the concubine is the first child and has little experience, Yun Lan is careful enough, Jin Xiu is quite stable, Jin Xin is also careful, and Imperial Physician Gu comes to take care of the minister from time to time." Concubine, there will be nothing wrong with it, besides, the concubine is not used to being served by strangers. The emperor has already treated the concubine too well, if he sends people to the concubine's palace again, he will surely offend other pregnant sisters Dissatisfied, the courtiers and concubines will pay attention to everything on weekdays, so the emperor can rest assured."
