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

Chapter 726 Who Poisoned (8)
Xiao Jun hugged her tightly, and put a gentle kiss on her forehead, "I really want to hold Chen'er like this forever, if there is an afterlife, I will give you back Qin Zishuo, and take you to travel around the world. It’s just that since I have taken the throne, I have to live up to the expectations of all people in the world; since I have given up my own vast sea and sky, at least it is worth giving up; Chen’er, stay by my side and protect this place with me The people of the world, right?"

"The concubine promised the emperor that she would accompany the emperor for the rest of her life. The emperor's words of wisdom must mean what he says. If there is an afterlife, what will happen if the emperor forgets the concubine?"

Xiao Jun pressed against her forehead, closed her eyes and said with endless enjoyment: "I will never forget you, even if I forget, I will love you again, just like you do to me, no matter whether you love Mr. or Your Majesty, all you love must be me alone."

This moment of warmth has been expected for a long time. Qingchen enjoys his domineering and gentleness to the fullest, and does not want to have more words. She just wants to quietly engrave this caring feeling in her memory, even without him in the future I can also remember the warmth and nostalgia in his arms.

Xiao Jun went back to the imperial study and sent her back to Duanyang Palace. After dinner, she was doing needlework alone under the lamp. She raised her head inadvertently and saw that Yun Lan seemed to be thinking about something, so she asked, "What are you thinking about?" what?"

Yun Lan recalled: "Today, this servant took a few more glances at that little Mencius, why does he look so familiar, he looks like a servant in Feng Guiren's palace who has already gone."

Qingchen stopped sewing, thought for a while and said in a flat tone: "Everyone is already dead, it doesn't matter why he did this, whether he wanted to avenge Feng Guiren, or was ordered by the Queen Mother, anyway, we will I can't go any further. What we should be more worried about right now is how we should deal with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother made things difficult a few times. In fact, it doesn't necessarily mean that my life must be taken. She is just afraid that I will threaten Qin Wanrong's status when she is gone in the future. , so as long as the emperor shows me less favor, she may not be able to tolerate me, but the problem is that I can't sit passively like this and wait to die."

Yun Lan asked softly: "Then what is your plan?"

Qingchen thought over and over again, then suddenly raised his head and asked: "What if the Queen Mother is unconscious?"

Yun Lan was slightly taken aback, her heart was turbulent like sea waves in a storm, and she sighed inaudibly for a long time, thinking that people are really forced out sometimes, so she nodded helplessly and said: "If you lose your mind, you will naturally lose your mind." Then you can no longer interfere with the affairs of the harem. The empress is kind and kind, and she will never be cruel."

Qingchen sighed: "Yun Lan, you know my thoughts best."

Seeing Jin Xin came in with washing water to wait for her to wash, Qing Chen ordered: "You tell Chang Xi to call Xiao Yinzi over, I have something to tell him."

Jin Xin asked in surprise: "It's already this time, is there something that you can't talk about tomorrow?"

Yun Lan glanced at her, took the golden basin in her hand silently, saw that Qingchen was just looking at her silently, Jin Xin's face suddenly became hot, knowing that she had overstepped, she hurriedly said: "Yes, The servant is going now."

To see Xiao Yinzi at this time, it is of course something important, or something that is inconvenient for others to know about, Jin Xin thought that he was indeed a bit reckless just now.

When Xiao Yinzi came over, Qingchen had already finished washing, and he was only wearing ordinary casual clothes. Outside, he was wrapped in a Sichuan embroidered cloak with a silver-white background and a pattern of blue waves. The painting above is a picture of a lotus pond under the moonlight in ink and wash, with an elegant artistic conception.She didn't wear any jewelry on her head, just a bun hanging behind her head as a gift, and her whole person was as fresh and refined as a lotus emerging from water.

Xiao Yinzi was slightly taken aback, seeing her put down the book in her hand to look over, hurriedly plunged forward a little unnaturally, "My servant pays my respects to your empress."

Qingchen sent all the people in the room out, leaving him alone and said: "There is no need to be polite, I have asked you to come here at this time because there is something I want you to do, and it is of great importance. You can only do it yourself, if you are not careful, you may lose your head, are you willing?"

Xiao Yinzi got up and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, just tell the slave to do it. No matter how difficult it is, the slave will never shirk. In the life of the palace, no matter how cautious you are, you may lose your head at any time. Rather than being mermaid, I’d rather be Daozu. The slaves follow the empress and don’t work for the empress, so what is the use of the empress raising the slaves?”

Qingchen nodded and said: "You do understand, Xiao Yinzi, both our master and servant almost suffered a disaster today, I can't just sit and wait for death, so I want you to go out and help me find something, although it is not an aboveboard But in order to save my life, I have no choice, even if I don't want to, I have to."

As a slave, Xiao Yinzi always took it for granted to help his master do some private things at critical times, so no matter what Qingchen ordered him to do, he would not be surprised. If he just kept him idle like this, then That's weird.

"If it weren't for the slave who is intelligently protected by the empress and the doctor Gu is considerate today, how could the slave have the life to stand here and listen to the empress? This is all a careless slave, and I ask the empress to punish her. If others can't tolerate the empress, they can't tolerate the slave. As long as The empress opened her mouth, no matter who the slave is, she would risk her life to clear the obstacles for the empress."

Xiao Yinzi's words made Qingchen very gratified, he knew who couldn't tolerate them, but he still had no hesitation, saying this was enough to show his determination.

"I won't punish you, I just hope that you will be more diligent in your work in the future. I need a kind of medicinal herb called psychedelic grass. I don't produce this kind of plant. I need to buy it from the drug dealers from the west. You can't pretend to be someone, you have to go to deal with someone in person, the sooner the better, and make sure that person can keep his mouth shut."

Xiao Yinzi didn't ask about the purpose of this medicinal herb, but responded bluntly: "The slave knows, the empress is at ease, the slave will definitely find something for the empress."

Qingchen saw that it was getting late, and before Xiao Yinzi left, she instructed again: "Only you and I know about this matter, we must never let a third person know about it, do you understand?"

Xiao Yinzi replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the servant will definitely do everything right. If there is no other order, the servant will leave."

"Go ahead."

After Xiao Yinzi left, Yun Lan came in to wait for her to sleep, Qing Chen ordered: "Light that benzoin, I have been restless at night lately."

Yun Lan went to get the censer with the emerald coral top, and said: "Maybe it's because the first child is nervous and thinks too much, so she can't sleep peacefully at night. Pregnant women should relax and be happy for the child, but, alas... ..."

Qingchen also said helplessly: "Even if there are no pregnant people in this palace, how many of them can sleep well?"
