Chapter 79 Tell it Frankly
Emperor Qingling frowned: "I won't go."
The next moment, he suddenly remembered what Lin Taiyi said just now, that it was Hua Zhiyao's father who gave him the ancient recipe.
Such a dangerous poison actually appeared in the harem.
He changed the subject: "Let's go and see Concubine Xian."
The little eunuch raised his head in surprise and said: "Okay."
"Little Guangzi, wait in Guangling Palace. If Concubine Shugui has anything, you must report to me. If there is any negligence, I will not let you go."
Little Guangzi bowed with fear and trepidation: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qingling looked at Concubine Shugui's bedroom reluctantly and left Guangling Palace.
Concubine Shugui, who was lost in thought on the bed, heard the imperial carriage leave, and looked at Mi Chun: "Is there any news about the Foshan Temple outside the palace?"
Mi Chun opened her lips and replied: "This morning, Nanny Chen heard that the Prime Minister had found clues, so she left the palace directly. Also, I heard that Nanny Chen dealt with a palace girl in the cold palace yesterday. She was the biological daughter of Nanny Yu who was by the Queen's side. Later, the Emperor ordered her to be beaten to death, and all those related to the palace girl were killed. More than ten people were killed in the entire harem. As for the Queen..."
She wanted to say that the Queen should have made things difficult for the Queen today because of this matter, but since the Queen had forgotten, she would not mention it.
But since it was about the princess in the cold palace, she would tell the Queen about it.
Concubine Shu Gui nodded: "I understand. Please help me find Eunuch Wei. I want to see him."
Mi Chun almost cried on the spot. Her queen was walking on thin ice in the harem. She even forgot that she was targeted today.
Fortunately, the queen was confined by the queen mother. If not, I am afraid that she would be targeted in the future.
Her queen is really miserable.
Perhaps it was because she was sad that Mi Chun did not obey the order and ran out wiping her tears.
She looked very sad.
Concubine Shugui found it funny and said to herself, "Silly Michun, this matter can only be forgotten, otherwise, when the empress dowager comes to her senses, she will definitely protect the empress. By then, I will be roasted on the fire. There is pressure from the court in front and the empress dowager's protection in the back. There is no other way except to keep myself out of trouble."
The empress dowager was too unusual today, and the look in her eyes...
was not like that of the empress dowager.
After thinking about it, the only one in the harem who has this ability is Ying'an.
She is eager to protect her mother, so she went straight to the empress dowager.
I am afraid that the consequence of such a reckless act is that the empress dowager will be furious.
There are still some troubles in this harem.
In Chengqian Palace.
The palace maids and eunuchs knelt all over the room, and none of them dared to raise their heads.
When Emperor Qingling appeared, Concubine Xian was sitting at the end of the bed crying. I felt pity for her when I saw her.
Emperor Qingling remained silent, sitting on a stool nearby, and said solemnly: "You all go out first, I have something to tell Concubine Xian."
"Yes."
Concubine Xian stopped crying after everyone went out.
She raised her head, slowly stood up and walked forward, kneeled down and lay beside Emperor Qingling's legs, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I thought you didn't want me anymore?"
Emperor Qingling said nothing.
Concubine Xian looked at Emperor Qingling without responding, and raised her eyes to look at him in confusion.
But the next moment, Emperor Qingling raised his hand and held her chin, leaned down, bit his back teeth and said: "Does the ancient prescription that your father gave to Doctor Lin have anything to do with you?"
He never let go of his doubts about Hua Zhiyao, but he couldn't resist his heart.
From Ying'an's voice, he knew that Hua Zhiyao was not simple. She traveled through time in her previous life, and now she was reborn.
It was like she carried the memories of two lives.
The current Hua Zhiyao made him feel scared.
The powerlessness of having her emotions controlled, her every word seemed to go straight to his heart.
She understood him much better than he thought.
Concubine Xian was shocked.
How could the emperor know this!
The queen... failed!
Concubine Shugui!
She was obviously going to die soon, why is he still fighting with her now!
What is her basis!
Thinking carefully, all of this was caused by Concubine Shugui. The emperor clearly didn't take Concubine Shugui to heart in his previous life, why did he care about her so much in this life, and even wanted to hold his whole heart in her hands.
It is obvious that in her previous life, Concubine Shugui did not know how to manipulate the emperor's heart.
That's why she had the opportunity to take advantage of it.
What on earth... is going on!
She was in deep thought, but now she could only deny it to save
her life. "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. I know nothing. Besides, after I entered the palace, I cut off contact with my family. Your Majesty, please investigate. If you find that I have any contact with my father, I will die without your order."
She swore a poisonous oath. She
denied the matter righteously.
Emperor Qingling was shaken.
Even he did not dare to swear such a poisonous oath.
Concubine Xian... how could she do it...
or was she so fearless that she was ready to die at any time.
Emperor Qingling said in a deep voice: "I will investigate this matter myself. If it is true, the entire Hua family will not survive."
As he said, he looked at Concubine Xian with deep eyes.
Concubine Xian was alarmed.
The emperor was testing her.
If she cared about the Hua family, she would not know the priorities and make it difficult for the emperor.
If she did not care about the Hua family, she would be heartless and inhuman.
She considered again and again and said, "Whatever decision the emperor makes, I and the Hua family will accept it. If my father really does something that harms the harem, I will have to give up my love and marry into the palace no matter how reluctant I am. I am the emperor's person, and for the emperor's sake, if there are such people with bad intentions in the court, it will put the emperor on the opposite side of the world, which is not advisable."
Her words cleverly resolved the contradictory relationship between the two.
She put her own interests and the emperor's interests together, and considered the emperor's every word.
It can be said that it was watertight.
Emperor Qingling looked at her and said in a low voice: "I was right about you."
Concubine Xian lowered her head: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She could feel how much sincerity the emperor had in saying this.
As the saying goes, she had seen how he loved her, so she was the first to feel that he didn't love her anymore.
If there was 100% sincerity, he would only have 60% left now.
The temptation with suspicion is the most chilling.
Concubine Xian said lightly: "Your Majesty, how are the Empress and Concubine Shugui?"
Emperor Qingling turned his head and said in a deep voice: "The Empress is no longer in trouble."
He was reluctant to say more, and even reluctant to mention Concubine Shugui.
She was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for Concubine Shugui.
Concubine Xian knew his worries very well.
She said calmly: "When I was in the palace, I saw my mother cook a bowl of porridge for my father. I want to make it for Concubine Shugui. Your Majesty, can you personally deliver it to me? It will also be my apology to Concubine Shugui. What the imperial physician said that day was not what I thought."
Emperor Qingling raised his eyes and looked at her. He said
solemnly: "Then what is your worry?"
Concubine Xian raised her eyes, then looked out the window, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have a question for you. If you stay with the person you love for your whole life, you are the only two people in your life, watching flowers, the sea and the world, but you wake up and she has forgotten you, what will you do?"
After hearing this, Emperor Qingling panicked for no reason.
