Infertility for life!
Qin Ye's eyes darkened. How much must Xiao Zhihua hate her to have given her this kind of medicine!
"This medicine is scarce and expensive, and most people can't afford it. In the deep palace, concubines like to use tricks like this when competing for favor." Concubine Tong took Qin Ye's hand and walked to the side and sat down.
"Back then, I was rewarded with the title of consort for my contribution in raising Prince Chen. Many concubines were jealous of my contribution and were worried that I would be favored by the dragon, so they used figs on me. I only discovered this three years later..."
She was murdered and accidentally eaten for three whole years. When she found out, it was too late.
She was unable to have children throughout her life.
So, when Qin Ye picked up the cup of tea, she smelled it with particular sensitivity.
Qin Ye was surprised. He didn't expect that Concubine Tong had such a past.
"Who harmed you?"
"It's not important." Concubine Tong smiled faintly and shook her head. "Back then, I was just a personal maid serving Concubine Xiao. Over the years, I have only wanted to fulfill Concubine Xiao's last wish and protect Prince Chen's safety. I am not interested in other things, such as competing for favor, becoming a concubine, and winning the emperor's favor."
On the contrary, she likes quietness.
Competing for favor?
Goodbye!
Give her a Buddhist scripture and a meditation room, and she can stay at home for a year.
However, when it comes to business, Concubine Tong's eyes slowly become serious:
"My child, I know Xiao Zhihua wants to harm you, and you two are incompatible, but I still want to tell you that back then, Xiao Zhihua was the only one left in the entire Xiao family, and Prince Chen had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders."
"All members of the Xiao family are dead. He knelt in blood and swore to protect Xiao Zhihua for the rest of her life. He would never kill Xiao Zhihua."
"But I'm not saying this to ask you to forgive Xiao Zhihua. I just want you to know the dilemma that Prince Chen is in."
"He doesn't deal with Xiao Zhihua, not because he doesn't love you. Everyone has their own difficulties." Concubine Tong patted the back of Qin Ye's hand and said earnestly.
Qin Ye understood what she meant.
Zong Zhengchen was in the middle, with her on one side and the promise and oath of the entire Xiao family on the other. He didn't want to betray her, nor did he want to let down the ancestors of the Xiao family.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll let him handle this matter. No matter what he does, I respect his choice."
"Oh——" Concubine Tong held Qin Ye's little hand tightly and looked at this sensible child. She wished that Concubine Xiao could come and see it in person. She would definitely be satisfied with this good daughter-in-law.
She could see that Prince Chen liked Qin Ye very much.
At the same time, he also understood that Xiao Zhihua was a paranoid child and would never let Prince Chen go.
I only hope that Concubine Xiao in heaven has eyes and can protect these children to be safe and sound, not to do wrong things, and to be upright and honest with a clear conscience.
Concubine Tong sighed in her heart, sighed secretly, and finally warned:
"Born in a royal family, the most important thing is offspring. Xiaoye, protect your belly."
.
A quarter of an hour later, Qin Ye walked out of the Zen room with two scriptures. When he turned the corner, he heard Xiao Zhihua crying hoarsely:
"I'm not going to Jiangnan, and I'm not going to my cousin's place!"
She grabbed the man's sleeve and cried with red eyes:
"Don't send me away, Your Majesty, please don't! I know I was wrong, and I will never do anything to let you down again. I was confused for a moment... I was wrong!"
"Your Majesty!"
She cried humbly and begged at the top of her lungs.
However, no matter how she cried, the man always looked at her coldly, leaving no room for negotiation.
Xiao Zhihua felt as if a knife was stabbed in her heart, and she slowly knelt on the ground in despair.
What's the point of her living without King Chen?
Since Prince Chen doesn't want her, she might as well go and meet her parents in the underworld now!
Suddenly, her eyes turned fierce, and she immediately pulled out the hairpin in her hair and stabbed herself in the neck.
"stop!"
