Chapter 359 Your Majesty, are you crazy?
The rumor quickly spread, and the storytellers had already made up a story. Having learned from the lessons of Prince Yu and Erzhu Huaji, they very cleverly thought of a new method - using code names to refer to identities.
So, under the gloating eyes of his colleagues, the Third Assistant Minister listened to the storyteller's story of brother-sister incest mixed with the love-hate relationship of the takeover hero with a sullen face. He had to pretend to be puzzled, but in fact, he was almost wearing out his teeth while discussing with his colleagues with a smile.
"What?! They all know?!"
Xiao Qingwu listened to the report from her personal maid, her beautiful eyes widened, full of panic.
The maid had followed her in the palace and knew everything about Xiao Qingwu.
She nodded with a pale face: "It has spread in the capital. The storyteller is talking about it in the tavern where the prince consort is!"
Her tone was full of panic, and so was Xiao Qingwu.
When both of them were at a loss, a familiar voice rang in Xiao Qingwu's ears: "Qingwu..."
Xiao Qingwu looked over and saw Xiao Siyuan walked in and put his hand on her cheek.
Xiao Qingwu's fingertips moved slightly.
The maid retreated tactfully and closed the door.
The two looked at each other as if a long century had passed. Xiao Siyuan sighed softly: "I'm back."
As if a key had been opened, Xiao Qingwu could no longer hold back the tears that she had been holding back, and they burst out.
Xiao Siyuan wiped away her tears with his fingertips, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he leaned down slightly -
"Prince consort, you are back."
"Why do you close the door in broad daylight!" The third assistant minister raised his eyebrows and asked in doubt.
He walked inside, and the maids followed him closely, trying to stop him:
"Prince consort, the princess is feeling a little unwell and is resting..."
The doubt became more and more serious. The third assistant minister looked at her nervous expression and then at the closed door.
In an instant, it was as if a flash of lightning passed through his mind, and the voice of the storyteller lingered in his ears again. A guess emerged in his mind -
damn, this adulterous couple would not have done it here directly? !
He panted and kicked the door open in the horrified eyes of the maids.
One of the doors fell down with a thud, and dust flew everywhere.
The Third Assistant Minister stepped in, and his eagle-like eyes immediately fell on the bed.
It was not the scene of the two people making love as he had expected. Xiao Siyuan and Xiao Qingwu were both sitting at the table. Xiao Qingwu was still pouring tea for Xiao Siyuan, and both of their tea cups were steaming.
They looked like brothers with deep affection.
Hearing the sound, they both raised their heads and looked over.
The Third Assistant Minister did not look embarrassed at all. He brushed off the dust on his body and smiled: "Why did my brother come here without saying hello in advance?"
Xiao Siyuan did not respond to his words, but looked past him, his eyes fell on the door that fell to the ground, and said in an inaudible tone: "The way the Prince Consort made his appearance is really different from others."
The Third Assistant Minister sat beside him: "I was just anxious for a moment. Besides, it's just a broken door. If it's broken, it's broken. Just throw it away."
He looked at Xiao Qingwu steadily, with a hint of meaning.
Xiao Siyuan sneered: "The Prince Consort is right."
Although the Third Assistant Minister appeared to be tough, he still had doubts about this matter in his heart.
If they were really incestuous, he did have his period when he slept with Xiao Qingwu...
The Third Minister looked thoughtful.
Xiao Qingwu sat at the table calmly, but her hands were shaking. Xiao Siyuan put his hand on hers without leaving any trace.
"Why did my brother come here today?" The Third Assistant Minister continued the topic he had just talked about, looking at him suspiciously: "I just heard that you were in Xu's house..."
"I was not there when my sister got married, and now that she has recovered from her injuries, I naturally have to come and see her," Xiao Siyuan interrupted him, with a sneer on his face: "After all, we have a deep brother-sister relationship, and as the brother of the emperor, I naturally have to come and check it out."
He emphasized the four words "deep brother-sister relationship", and his eyes seemed to be smiling, as if he was mocking the Third Assistant Minister's test.
The Third Assistant Minister's expression changed slightly, and then he looked at him with complicated eyes.
Xiao Siyuan chuckled again, not knowing what he was laughing at. Then, he smiled earnestly: "Congratulations, you're going to be a father."
Third Minister: "!!!"
His expression froze, and he could hardly believe his ears. After a few seconds, he suddenly stood up and looked at Xiao Qingwu steadily: "You, you..."
He was so excited that he couldn't speak. Xiao Qingwu calmed down a lot under Xiao Siyuan's comfort. He looked up at him with a smile: "The court doctor has come to see him."
Third Minister was ecstatic.
The strong joy overwhelmed his mind. He threw away all the incest between brother and sister and the takeover hero. There was only one thought in his mind - he was going to be a father!
He lifted his robe, walked over and half-knelt beside Xiao Qingwu, his ear pressed against her belly, and closed his eyes contentedly.
Naturally, he did not see Xiao Qingwu and Xiao Siyuan looking at each other with affection.
...
With the formula, it is not difficult to mix the incense for calming the mind.
The difficult part is the dosage of the vanilla.
When mixing the perfume, Song Shiwei would be taken back to Ci Ning Palace from the Heavenly Prison.
Having seen the miserable conditions of the prisoners in the Heavenly Prison, out of fear, Song Shiwei had been reporting the lower amount, less than one percent of what she had given to the Queen Mother. It is conceivable that the incense that popped out like this would not only fail to soothe the Queen Mother, but make her even more manic. But
the perfumers did not dare to put too much, so they could only add it in small amounts at a time.
The sound of chains and roars echoed throughout the Cining Palace. The emperor looked at the empress dowager quietly, wondering what she was thinking.
The captain came over trotting and whispered in the emperor's ear.
Song Shi pricked up his ears to listen, but heard nothing.
The emperor's face was calm, and when the captain finished speaking, he just raised his hand slightly to indicate that he understood.
The captain withdrew and the emperor pressed his eyebrows.
"You've only delayed your own time," the emperor said lightly.
Song Shiwei froze for a moment, his pupils slightly locked.
"I might as well tell you, I actually have no intention of killing you," his voice sounded a little lazy, but it seemed to be grasping Song Shiwei's heart.
"Your Majesty?"
"Rather, I am very pleased that you have turned the Queen Mother into this, and I even want to reward you."
Song Shiwei: "!!!"
The other perfumers: "???!!!"
Song Shiwei's expression was blank.
Your Majesty, are you crazy???
The other perfumers were terrified, and judging from their expressions, they probably wished they didn't have ears at this moment.
"In the palace, this is not a secret," the emperor ignored their horrified looks and continued, "Although I was raised by her, she always beat and scolded me, and she also hated me because of the unborn child in her belly."
