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

Chapter 718
The Empress Dowager's face was gentle, her expression didn't fluctuate at all, but her tone was much more amiable, she said to the emperor: "The Ai family thinks so too, just now they also advised her to stay in the palace and raise her, but she insisted that the emperor is busy with state affairs, I often don't care about Ai's family, I want to do my filial piety for the emperor, and every day when I have free time, I will come to accompany Ai's family to relieve boredom..."

"I don't think it is necessary." The emperor resolutely rejected the Queen Mother's words, and said firmly: "Concubine Chen can't take care of herself now, so how can she do any filial piety for me? If she really wants to, wait until after she gives birth." Let's talk. There are so many concubines in the palace, who wouldn't expect the Queen Mother to do their best in front of the Queen Mother, Liang Jieyu and Qin Wanrong are always in front of me, I am also very relieved, although the Queen is busy, she will still come to greet the Queen Mother every morning and evening. With so many people in front of the Empress Dowager, there is really no need for her to join in the fun, not to mention that she is pregnant and can't do anything, and has to be taken care of by the people around the Empress Dowager, which is inconvenient."

The Empress Dowager still had a slight smile on her lips, but her eyes were clearly chilled, "What the emperor said is that there is no shortage of people around Ai's family, but seeing that Concubine Chen can talk and is obedient and lovable, I'm happy to see her mourning her family, since the emperor is worried about her, let's forget it."

Xiao Jun said lightly: "I have nothing to worry about, but she never knows how to take care of herself, and she is afraid that if something happens to the emperor's heir in her belly in the queen mother's palace, what she knows is that she is not careful, and what she doesn't know is that she thinks The Empress Dowager refuses to be sympathetic, and she has to work hard to take care of her during pregnancy."

After a pause, the emperor said: "I don't have much appetite recently. I heard that the side dishes in Qin Wanrong's palace are pretty good. I'll work hard for her to serve me for a few days. It's getting late. When I came, I met Doctor Gu. Go to Concubine Chen's Palace to ask for pulse, if the Queen Mother has no other orders, let her go back, and I will talk to the Queen Mother again."

After the deal was concluded, the empress dowager's face that had already sunk back into a gentle smile, nodded and said: "It's so good, eating the same dishes all the time will inevitably affect your appetite, and it's time for the emperor to change his taste. Since Imperial Physician Gu is still waiting in Concubine Chen's Palace, so you should go back first, Liang Jieyu will send Concubine Chen off for Ai's family."

Qingchen slowly got up and looked at the emperor, seeing his cold eyes, staring at the teacup on the table expressionlessly and said: "Concubine Chen's baby, I definitely want it, if there is anything wrong, don't come to see me again gone."

At first glance, it sounded like he was speaking to her, but the queen mother sitting opposite couldn't help frowning, Qingchen hurriedly said: "The concubine obeys the order, and the concubine will resign."

Only now did Qingchen understand the queen mother's intentions. She wanted to use her to blackmail the emperor. As long as Qin Wanrong is not pregnant for a day, the queen mother will always let her serve in the Shouan Palace. She may also "accidentally" slip a tire.

What the emperor said just now was basically for the empress dowager.

Holding Yun Lan's hand out of the door of Shou'an Palace, seeing no one coming out, Qingchen turned to Liang Jieyu and said, "Thank you for reminding me just now, but I also have a piece of advice for Liang Jieyu, the Queen Mother is poisoned. It's getting deeper and deeper, but it's still hard to find the source of the poison. Even if Gu Yunfeng tried his best to save it, it still doesn't help. But there is a limit to everything. If there is no problem with the things used, it is a human problem. Sooner or later, the queen mother will suspect you body, I advise you to take it as soon as you see it."

Liang Jieyu's pretty face twitched a few times, and said coldly: "Thank you for reminding me, my concubine will take care of the concubine's affairs, so don't bother me to worry about it. Reminding my concubine, it's just a poor child innocent , perhaps with the intelligence of the empress, she has already understood the Queen Mother's intentions, and concubines are nothing more than unnecessary actions."

"I appreciate your kindness, thank you very much." Liang Jieyu's few words when serving tea to Qingchen had already convinced her that her thoughts were correct, because Chunlan handed her the cup of Liu'an tea back then. When she was pregnant, she once said that she didn't drink Liu'an tea. At that time, she just made an excuse to say it casually. If it had nothing to do with the Queen Mother, how would Liang Jieyu know?
She was kindly reminding herself to beware of the Queen Mother. Qingchen dared to drink her tea because she said that she brewed the Longjing tea herself. stupid.

"Is Lin Guiyi's fetus really made by the Queen Mother?" Qingchen still couldn't help but want to ask for confirmation.

Liang Jieyu shook her head lightly, "With Qin Wanrong here, the Empress Dowager He Lao personally took action, but it was just a helping hand. Qin Wanrong has been telling the Empress Dowager recently that the empress is wrong. She was at odds, and the Duanwu Empress ordered her to kneel as a punishment, wouldn't it be more of an enmity with her?"

"I see, thank you for telling me this." Qingchen never thought that Liang Jieyu would tell her so much, ever since she knew Liang Jieyu's secret, and the incident between Jin Xin and Su Yue happened again, At first, he thought that Liang Jieyu would hate her, but he didn't expect that she didn't hold grudges against her.

Liang Jieyu smiled bitterly and said: "Say one sentence is no different from saying ten sentences. Anyway, the empress will not tell the queen, let alone betray me. The character of the empress can be trusted by concubines. To be honest, in fact, concubines are selfish. I don't hate Empress, but I have always admired Empress for her intelligence and character, but it's a pity that I didn't have the chance to have a close friendship."

Qingchen smiled slightly and asked: "I don't get along with Concubine Li, and Liang Jieyu still wants to protect her, so I can't have a deep friendship with Bengong, is that so?"

Liang Jieyu sighed softly, she didn't seem to intend to explain, she looked back at the Shou'an Palace, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this is not a place to talk, Your Majesty, go slowly, the concubine will send you off respectfully."

"What you said is that it's inevitable that people will become suspicious if you've been out for a long time. You should go back soon." Qingchen held Yun Lan's hand and turned to leave, thinking that Liang Jieyu trusted her, and it was also because of the empress dowager's unkindness to her. Who will expose the person who avenged himself?To some extent, the Queen Mother is their common enemy.

Tonight, the emperor is going to have dinner in Qin Wanrong's palace, probably for a long time from now, it will be her time to shine.Only if she can give birth to the prince, will the Queen Mother forget her worries.

Yun Lan asked softly: "Your Majesty, do you think you want to tell the Queen about this?"

"If it comes from the mouth of the palace, do you think the empress will believe it?" Qingchen sneered, "Even if the empress dowager and the empress fight fiercely in secret, to them, we are always outsiders, and there is something supreme , no matter who falls into their hands, it will never be allowed to fall into our hands. No matter whether the queen believes me or not, the first thing she will suspect is the intention of telling her the truth, and maybe she will join forces with the queen mother to deal with it first We, so we can't get involved in this matter."
