Chapter 12 Place it in the room for viewing
Before the imperial guards could capture the maid, she killed Xiao Yuanpan and then committed suicide with a dagger.
Qi Yue looked in the direction where Xiao Yuanpan died with his eyes open, and saw that Concubine Xian did not look panicked at all, but instead had an expression of relief.
Qi Yue knew every character in the book, so he understood that it would be difficult to overthrow Concubine Xian today, but getting rid of Xiao Yuanpan would also make Concubine Xian lose an arm and make the emperor feel alienated from her.
Qi Yue patted his chest and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, are you all right?"
When he looked at Concubine Xian, he was puzzled: "Concubine Xian...why aren't you panicking at all?"
Concubine Xian's face froze slightly, and then she immediately pretended to be frightened, and said to Qi Junqi with tears in her autumn eyes: "Your Majesty, I have never seen such a scene. I was shocked just now. This palace maid is really too scary..."
Qi Yue sneered: "You are too fake, Concubine Xian. You are the daughter of a military commander. If you say that, be careful that the Marquis of Zhenguo will come to the palace with the family law to beat you."
Qi Junqi only glanced at Concubine Xian and turned to look at Queen Wang.
Seeing that she looked extremely unhappy, he walked to her side with heartache and gently held her in his arms.
Qi Yue continued, "A delicate woman like me would be so frightened that my heart would almost jump out of my chest!"
"Fortunately, Shao Siyan protected me just now."
He pointed at the imperial doctors and said disdainfully: "You should learn from them. This is what it means to be a good subject to my brother. Don't you think so, my brother?"
Qi Junqi: "Yes, Shao Siyan is extremely courageous, loyal, and has excellent medical skills. He will be officially appointed as the Imperial Physician and join the Imperial Hospital today."
Everyone was shocked, especially the little medicine boy carrying the box at the end. They regretted it so much that they missed the chance to reach great heights.
Shao Si Yan kowtowed: "I thank the Lord for his grace. Long live Your Majesty."
Qi Yue: "My royal brother, you must conduct a thorough investigation. This maidservant suddenly accused Concubine Shu before she died. She might have wanted to put the blame on Concubine Shu so that the person behind the scenes could get away with it."
After saying this, she glanced at Concubine Xian meaningfully.
Qi Junqi: "Drag the bodies of Xiao Feng and the other two away, and pass on the imperial decree, ordering the Dali Temple to confiscate the property of Xiao Feng's nine clans and exile them for a thorough investigation, and to take all those involved into the Heavenly Prison to await their fate."
"Until the truth comes out, Concubine Xian should just stay in your Yikun Palace and have a good rest if you have nothing to do."
Is this to ground her?
Concubine Xian secretly glared at Qi Yue with hatred and nodded her head in agreement.
Qi Yue did not miss her rolling eyes: "Why did Concubine Xian roll her eyes at me? If you are dissatisfied with your brother's decision, you can say it."
Concubine Xian did not dare to argue with her anymore. She held her forehead and pretended to be unwell: "Your Majesty, I am a little tired. I will withdraw first."
Qi Junqi just waved his hand without even looking at her, and Concubine Xian left, suppressing her anger.
Deputy Court Judge Zhang and Shao Siyan together prescribed pregnancy-maintaining medicine for Queen Wang again, and Qi Junqi also ordered people to reward Queen Wang with a lot of rare tonic medicines.
Qi Yue, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but take advantage of today's incident to steal a lot of good things from Qi Junqi's private warehouse, including several tonic medicines for strengthening the body.
After the imperial doctors and their medicine boys left, Qi Yue asked He Xiang to send the things back to the Moon Palace first, and he and Shao Si Yan slowly walked out of Kunning Palace.
Shao Siyan: "Thank you, Princess, for your support today."
Qi Yue looked at him with interest: "Okay, but...how are you going to thank me?"
Shao Siyan was stunned. He never expected that Qi Yue would directly agree with his words. He really wanted to thank her.
Shao Siyan: "If the princess needs me, I will do my best to help you as long as it is not disloyal or unjust."
Qi Yue: "I like people like you who are loyal to the emperor and love the country. I don't need you to do anything. Just come and check my pulse every day. Seeing your face will help me get sick less often in the future."
Shao Siyan: "I obey your order."
Seeing that he remained unmoved by her teasing, Qi Yue tilted her head to look at him, "I didn't expect that someone with such an unserious face would actually have such a serious and rigid personality?"
Shao Siyan's seductive fox eyes moved slightly and he looked at Qi Yue, as if asking.
What's wrong with his appearance?
Qi Yue looked at him, who seemed to have not yet figured it out, and suddenly smiled.
She reached out and stroked his earlobe along his chin, "Old-fashioned little fox!"
Shao Siyan was stunned, and the next second his ears quickly filled with blood, "Princess, I will take my leave first..."
Without waiting for Qi Yue to respond, he fled.
Qi Yue looked at his hands and muttered, "It seems like I scared someone away..."
Over at the Moon Palace, Gu Qingyu waited and waited, and even finished a pot of tea, but Qi Yue still didn't come back.
Seeing He Xiang coming back with the things, he hurriedly asked, "Where's the princess? Why didn't she come back with you?"
He Xiang: "Hello, young marquis. To answer your question, the princess is still admiring the flowers in the imperial garden."
After he finished speaking, Gu Qingyu walked away without stopping for a second, leaving only a dark red back.
When Gu Qingyu found Qi Yue, Qi Yue was trampling on the flowers in the imperial garden. She picked the best ones and brought them down.
Gu Qingyu: "My cousin is in such a good mood." After saying that, he took a closer look and found that what Qi Yue was holding was a crabapple flower. He frowned for a moment.
Qi Yue looked and saw a face with thick eyebrows and sharp eyes. He was at least 1.9 meters tall and was wearing a noble black and red brocade robe. His black hair was tied only with a dark red hairband.
She was dressed like an official of high rank, but she only wore a headband, which was unusual. She even called her cousin.
Needless to say, it must be the young marquis Gu Qingyu created by her.
Qi Yue: "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be my most extravagant cousin, the young marquis."
"Why aren't you in your mansion enjoying yourself? Why are you in the palace? Are you here to look for me?"
Gu Qingyu stared at the crabapple in her hand and said, "There are thorns on the crabapple branches. What should I do if it hurts my cousin's hand? If you like it, just ask the palace maid to pick it for you."
He stretched out his hand to Qi Yue, wanting to help her pick the crabapple flowers, "I'll help my cousin pick them. Your hands are delicate, don't hurt them."
With someone helping to pick the flowers, Qi Yue was of course happy and relaxed. He handed the flowers over and reminded them, "Remember to pick the best ones. After picking them into a bunch, tie the branches together with a ribbon."
While Gu Qingyu was carefully picking crabapple flowers, he asked casually, "Why are you picking so many crabapple flowers, cousin?"
Qi Yue: "The room is too quiet, so I put it in the room for viewing."
When Gu Qingyu heard this, he picked flowers even faster.
His cousin wanted to put the crabapple flowers he picked in her boudoir! What was the difference between this and the fact that he already lived under the same roof with his cousin?
Thinking of this, Gu Qingyu felt a little hot in his ears.
Qi Yue was wondering what kind of expression Murong Heli would have when he received the crabapple flowers?
