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

Chapter 742 Where did the poison come from (2)
Qingchen also played with a blue-purple evening flower in his hand and said lightly: "Isn't it? Some people are so lucky that others can't envy them."

The roses are already blooming and fragrant, and they are beautiful when placed in a white jade bottle with a little decoration, and then sprinkled with a few drops of water, the beautiful flower arrangement in two bottles is completed.One bottle is placed on the table in Xiaohua Hall, and the other bottle is placed on the Kang table in Dongnuange. The fragrance of flowers all over the room makes people feel happy.Qingchen doesn't like the fireworks of incense, but loves the natural fragrance of flowers. Is there any woman who doesn't love flowers, looking at the flowers that she has inserted with her own hands, a smile is added to her pleasing face.

While holding the scissors to trim the excess branches and leaves, Jinxiu came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has sent someone to come over for a while, saying that there is something important to do, so don't delay."

Qingchen's hand holding the scissors paused slightly, the emperor was not around, and her body was weak, if something went wrong in the queen mother's palace, wouldn't the emperor's knot with the queen mother be added?At this time, if the queen mother had no other thoughts, she wished to keep her away, so as not to be tainted with suspicion and make the emperor angry, why did she call her over in such a hurry, why did she have to find her urgently?
Looking at Yun Lan puzzledly, seeing her also looked puzzled, but the people sent by the Queen Mother were still waiting there, Qingchen didn't dare to delay, the last time it was because of a few words with Xiao Jue outside the Queen Mother's Palace , the queen mother was displeased by delaying the time, and now the emperor is not here, if the queen mother picks up some mistakes again, wouldn't it be me who suffers?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly got up and walked out. Xiao Xiangzi had already ordered the soft sedan chair to be prepared, and Qingchen had no idea what to do all the way, so she had to calm down and think about adapting.

Stepping into the door of Shou'an Palace, I happened to meet Liang Jieyu bringing out a bowl of bird's nest soup from the small kitchen, and seeing her gentle and blessed body, said: "Concubine concubine pays her respects to concubine Chen, your lady is auspicious."

Qingchen reached out to help her, and looked deeply into Liang Jieyu's eyes, hoping she could give him some hints. Liang Jieyu's eyes flickered slightly, glanced at the purse on Yun Lan's body, and then said with a smile: " Empress, the Empress Dowager is waiting for you in the palace, will my concubine accompany you in?"

Purse?Qingchen's heart skipped a beat, wondering if there was something wrong with the purse that Qi'er was playing with just now?But what can happen to the things I wear so well?

"Thank you, Liang Jieyu." After ambiguously thanking her, Qingchen followed her into the room.

The atmosphere in the Empress Dowager's palace was always depressing, Qingchen really didn't know what kind of hatred Liang Jieyu was carrying to be able to serve here with a smiling face every day.

Qingchen knelt down respectfully. Before the concubine visited the Empress Dowager, the palace servants next to her would always put a cushion on the ground in time, but this time the maidservants on both sides stood motionless, as if they didn't even notice She is average.

Qingchen knelt down on the cold marble floor without hesitation, and said softly: "My concubine pays my respects to the queen mother, and the queen mother is blessed and safe."

The Empress Dowager sat high on it, with sharp and majestic eyes, and glanced at her and Yun Lan from the corner of her eyes, ignored their master and servant, continued to drink the tea in her hand, and said to Qin Wanrong in a bad tone: "You Go in and see what's going on, if there's anything wrong with Aijia's emperor and grandson, Aijia will definitely let those evil-minded vixen be buried with him!"

Putting down the teacup heavily, Qin Wanrong was taken aback by such an attitude and tone, and hurriedly said: "Quiet the queen mother, my concubine will go in and have a look, the eldest prince is auspicious, he will be fine, please rest assured the queen mother. "

Qingchen knelt on the ground, her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes because she was nervous, thinking that it was indeed Qi'er, but she couldn't guess what happened to Qi'er.

If the Queen Mother doesn't scream, she can only kneel down. If she asks at this time, no matter how much she asks the Queen Mother, she won't give her a good face. Besides, since she is angry in her heart, she might as well kneel for a while and let the Queen Mother calm down. Well, if her old man has peace of mind, maybe he can still listen to her words of defense.

No one in the room spoke, the silence made people feel uncomfortable, as if she was here to punish her kneeling, the queen mother didn't say a word, she seemed to have already determined that something happened to the eldest prince, and she was the culprit, so punishing her like this is already light that's it.

After going on like this for a long time, the queen mother was a little impatient. Turning around and seeing her kneeling there with a calm expression, waiting for her to speak quietly, she sneered and said, "Concubine Chen is very patient, don't you ask?" What did the Ai family ask you to do, or did you know it already in your heart, so there is no excuse, just waiting for the Ai family to find out!"

Qingchen raised his eyes, met the empress dowager's fierce phoenix eyes with a calm expression, and said without any haste: "The concubine doesn't know why the queen mother summoned the concubine, but since the queen mother doesn't speak, the concubine doesn't dare to speak too much on my own." Ask, since you are here, just wait and listen to the Empress Dowager's instruction with peace of mind."

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly in disdain, and said in a stern voice: "I never imagined that you would be so stable after doing such a bad thing, but it also made the Ai family look at you with admiration. The old saying is good, clever words make the color fresh and benevolent. Concubine Chen has always been able to speak and behave. But even if you can coax the emperor and the empress dowager, and blind the eyes of everyone in the palace, don't even try to play tricks here at Aijia, Aijia won't accept your tricks. You can do anything to a child , it's too insidious!"

Qingchen listened quietly to the Queen Mother's scolding with his head bowed, with a respectful expression, and said calmly: "The Queen Mother is admonishing me, and my concubine dare not refute, but there is a reason for everything. I don't know what caused the Queen Mother to be so angry. Please enlighten me, Queen Mother."

"The concubine Chen is really good at acting. Qi'er, who is your intention to murder the concubine, you can still pretend to be innocent with all the witnesses and material evidence. The concubine admires your ability to deny it." Xiao Jieyu came from Dongnuang Pavilion with red eyes. When he came out, it was obvious that he was crying a lot just now, and the makeup on his face was a bit smudged, "Queen Mother, don't say that the concubine's maids can testify, even Yun Lan and Jinxiu who are beside Concubine Chen can also testify. The concubine handed it to Qi'er herself. Before the concubine carried the child from the flower garden to the shade of the tree, Qi'er was bitten by a centipede crawling out of her purse. The imperial doctor said that the poison was not easy to cure. Qi'er is still alive In a coma, what should the concubine do?"

Qingchen looked up in surprise, feeling indescribably shocked. How could there be poisonous insects like centipedes in her purse?The purse that Ye Hanyu gave her has been hanging by the bed for several days, and today is not the first time she wears it on her body. If there is such a thing, wouldn't it have crawled out and bit her a long time ago? Got hurt by poisonous insects after so much effort?
No matter what the situation is, saving people is the most important thing. It's just that even if an ordinary centipede bites someone, it won't cause Qi'er to go into a coma, right?

Seeing her shocked and puzzled face, the Empress Dowager ordered: "Go and bring that poisonous insect up for Concubine Chen to have a look at."
