Chapter 16: Falling into a Trap



Qin Shaoqing is now standing in the courtyard of Yongde Palace with a worried look on his face. Looking at the scene in front of him, the confusion on his face only lasts for a moment, and then he is replaced by a look of understanding!

At this moment, the Emperor and the Empress were sitting on chairs at the main entrance of the palace, and Concubine Tong was sitting at the lower left of the Emperor with a smile on her face!

In the yard, there was singing and dancing, a scene of prosperity!

Emperor Qin Yingtian looked at Qin Shaoqing who had rushed in rashly. His face was slightly flushed from running, which made him look more energetic. He did not look sick at all!

For a moment, Qin Yingtian's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at Qin Shaoqing who was standing in the yard with shock and inquiry in his eyes, and his face gradually became filled with anger!

"Why are you here?"

Qin Yingtian did not ask about his physical condition, but asked him to explain his appearance!

"I received word that Concubine Tong was seriously ill and suspected of being poisoned. I was immediately extremely worried, so I brought the palace physician to visit her!"

Qin Shaoqing knew that he had fallen into someone's trap and there was no need to hide it anymore, but he still spoke while playing Tai Chi!

"Today, because I recently got a female musician who plays the pipa very well, the Emperor and the Empress came to see me. I didn't send anyone to pass on the message to Qing'er!

I think what happened today must have been deliberately done by someone. Qing'er, you've worked hard to run this trip for me, so why don't you sit down and write for a while!"

After hearing what Qin Shaoqing said, Concubine Tong knew that he had been plotted against, so she hurriedly explained to the emperor, reminding Qin Shaoqing of his current situation!

"I see that although Qing'er came in a hurry, he doesn't look like someone who has been ill for a long time. In fact, he looks more energetic than me!"

The emperor did not respond to Concubine Tong's words, but looked at Qin Shaoqing with sharp eyes and said!

"Your Majesty, the prince heard that Concubine Tong was ill, so he came to me and got some strong medicine to support her body, so that she could hold on until here!"

Su Nan heard the doubt in the emperor's words and stood aside to explain for Qin Shaoqing!

When the queen saw the emperor sitting next to her and heard the words of the woman in the audience, the suspicion on her face eased a little, and she immediately joined in unwillingly!

"You bold servant! The prince has been ill for a long time. How dare you give him medicine without authorization?

Luckily, the prince's body can withstand the strong medicine you gave him. If the prince had used your medicine and hurt himself, even if you had nine lives, it would not be enough to kill him!"

When Qin Shaoqing heard the Queen's words, he thought, what a good idea! If he were healthy now, it would mean that he would be in trouble with his father. If he was injured, he would lose a great general!

"Mother, don't be angry! I stole the medicine from her, and I acted rashly, causing you to worry!"

After Qin Shaoqing finished speaking, he immediately knelt on the ground, with his head lowered so that his facial expression could not be seen clearly!

The emperor looked at everything happening before his eyes, his mind was a little confused, but a seed of doubt was deeply planted!

Just when the Queen was about to attack Qin Shaoqing again, Concubine Tong stopped her!

Tong Fei looked distressed. She stood up from her seat, walked to Qin Shaoqing, squatted down and supported his arms with both hands!

"Good boy, stand up quickly! Even when you can't save yourself, you still care about me so much. Your Majesty, I accept this kindness.

Since you took such a dangerous medicine when you came here, I will make the decision here and let you go back and rest quickly. If you really hurt yourself because of this, I will not be able to report it to the Queen Mother!"

As Concubine Tong spoke, she used her eyes to remind Su Nan who was standing beside her. After seeing this, Su Nan immediately came to Qin Shaoqing and supported him with her hands!

"Since Concubine Tong is concerned about you, you should leave the palace quickly to recuperate and then let the two imperial doctors return home with you!"

Although the emperor allowed Qin Shaoqing to leave, he was still worried and sent two imperial doctors to follow him!

"Let Lan'er come along! I'm really worried about Qing'er, so you should go with the imperial physician as well. If there's anything, please let me know!"

When the Queen heard that the Emperor had allowed Qin Shaoqing to leave, although she was unwilling, she did not dare to disobey the Emperor's order and could only send her confidant to go with him!

"Yes, Queen, I will take good care of the Ninth Prince when I go there. If anything happens, please report back to the palace immediately!"

When Wu Lan heard the Queen's instructions, he immediately walked up to the Emperor and the Queen and accepted the task!

"Then I would like to thank you, Father and Mother, for your kindness. Now that I feel very uncomfortable, I will withdraw first and will not disturb your Majesty's elegance here!"

Qin Shaoqing did not refuse the kindness of the emperor and the queen. After all, such things had happened many times before, and he was used to it!

"Okay, just step back. You should be more calm in the future if you have any problems!"

The emperor sat there with a conflicted look in his eyes, and spoke to Qin Shaoqing impatiently!

"Yes, I will follow your instructions!"

After Qin Shaoqing finished speaking, he respectfully withdrew from Yongde Hall!

The moment he walked out of the courtyard, the emperor's face was suddenly filled with inquiry!

"Your Majesty, look how filial this child is! He ignored his own health and came to visit me in the palace. Yet, someone took advantage of this child's filial piety and played a trick on him in the middle of the night!"

Concubine Tong deliberately interrupted the emperor's thoughts, and after she finished speaking, she glanced at the queen intentionally or unintentionally!

"This child is indeed filial. If you have time, you can teach him more!"
