The news that Queen Qin Danruo was pregnant spread in the capital.
Although General Qin had lost his official position, more and more people wanted to curry favor with him, so he simply moved directly to his ancestral village and lived in a small house. Li, his wife, insisted on going back with him.
Qin Danqing from the Anguo Mansion has been confused for a while. Could it be that her memories of her previous life were fake?
Why is the current situation completely different from that of the previous life? Is it because Danruo and I switched marriages?
While she was deep in thought, An Qingfeng rushed in with a sword, murderous intent:
"Did you instruct your mother to kill Qingyu?"
Qin Danqing was shocked. After all, after being reminded by Duke An Guo, An Qingfeng's attitude towards Qin Danqing improved and he became gentle and considerate, as if he was not the one who attacked him before.
Qin Danqing also floated in his favor, thinking that he would not do anything to her even if An Qingyu died, but she would definitely not admit it.
She pretended to be confused and defended herself:
"My dear husband, what are you talking about? Everyone in the capital knows that my mother is insane and was divorced because she pointed a sword at my father.
I just felt sorry for my mother and gave her a place to live, but how could I make a madman listen to me? "
An Qingfeng didn't believe it at all. His eyes were filled with poisonous hatred:
"I've already hacked your mother to death and made amends to Qingyu. Now it's your turn."
Seeing that he looked like he was pretending to be alive, Qin Danqing ran out of the room for his life. An Qingfeng chased him out with a sword, and the servants screamed in fear.
Duke Anguo arrived in time to stop the farce and pulled An Qingfeng to the study. After some discussion, An Qingfeng brought a bowl of calming soup that he had personally made to apologize to Qin Danqing.
Qin Danqing felt guilty. Seeing that An Qingfeng didn't care about An Qingyu's death and wanted to reconcile with him, he immediately walked down the stairs and drank the calming soup clean.
She smiled at An Qingfeng in a flattering manner and said:
"Thank you, my husband, for the calming soup. I feel warm inside and feel very comfortable."
An Qingfeng looked at her stupid appearance and laughed out loud. It was because he underestimated her cruelty that he killed Qingyu.
Seeing that An Qingfeng's smile was not right, Qin Danqing began to murmur in his heart. He hurriedly tried to spit out what he had just drunk, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't vomit out a single thing.
Seeing her panic, An Qingfeng kindly reminded her:
"This secret southwestern medicine will begin to eat away at your internal organs bit by bit once it enters your body. In six months, you will become weak and die. Even doctors won't be able to determine the cause of your death."
Seeing Qin Danqing's eyes full of despair and pain, An Qingfeng felt relieved and continued to remind him:
"Oh, by the way, your body is in such bad shape after months of bleeding. I'm afraid you won't last more than three months before the poison takes its toll and you die."
Qin Danqing looked at his evil face and glared at her unwillingly:
"I lost a lot of blood trying to save you, and you turned your kindness against me."
An Qingfeng didn't care: "After all, it was you who was eager to marry me, you were eager to save me, and you had to use your kindness to force me.
But since you are my benefactor, I will give you a chance. If you can eliminate the queen and the evil spirit in her belly in one fell swoop, I will give you the antidote."
Qin Danqing nodded without hesitation. She didn't feel any guilt towards Danruo. She just felt that she couldn't die so easily in her next life. She was reborn to be the queen.
--
Danruo has been taking care of the baby in the harem since she became pregnant. The baby is now four months old.
Her belly was already showing, and many experienced maids thought it might be a princess based on her pregnancy. Shang Xiaoyang felt very happy, and he began to fantasize about having a baby daughter exactly like Danruo.
The Queen Mother personally presided over the New Year's Eve palace banquet. Since it was the first major palace banquet after Danruo's canonization, and her pregnancy was already stable, the Queen Mother hoped that Danruo would attend in order to establish her reputation.
Dan Ruo agreed and said she would protect herself and her child.
At the palace banquet, Han Cairen specially prepared a sword dance. She was dressed in red military uniform and her long hair was tied up high. She played the image of a heroic woman and her sword dance was also beautiful.
After the dance, the audience applauded, and Han Cairen stared at Shang Xiaoyang's reaction. She saw that he didn't even look at her. His head was tilted towards Dan Ruo the whole time, paying attention to her every move.
Han Cairen accepted the reward and continued to ask, "Your Majesty, what do you think of my sword dance?"
Shang Xiaoyang then looked at her, his face cold and he replied calmly:
"Fine."
Seeing that Han Cairen still refused to return to his seat, Shang Xiaoyang continued:
"The look in his eyes is wrong, he lacks aura, and the overall feeling of power is lacking..."
When Han Cairen was dancing, her eyes were glued to Shang Xiaoyang, so naturally her expression was not right. As for momentum and strength, the noble lady who had never actually fought on the battlefield was naturally weaker.
However, Shang Xiaoyang thought of the time when he and Dan Ruo cooperated to strangle Prince Hu Rong on the battlefield, and felt that he must find an opportunity to dance with Dan Ruo with swords in Yangliu Yiyi in the future. He could write this down in his future planning notebook.
Seeing that Han Cairen was about to cry, Dan Ruo opened his mouth to respond to Shang Xiaoyang's speech:
"I think Han Cairen dances very well, and has a unique and interesting style."
Han Cairen ran away crying. The Queen Mother hosted a banquet, and Han Cairen was so ignorant of the rules that she was punished by the Queen Mother to be confined to her house for half a year.
Next, Concubine Wang prepared a gift, which was the enlightenment book she had written for the future little prince. It touched Shang Xiaoyang's heart, and therefore she received the most rewards from Shang Xiaoyang.
In the middle of the banquet, the palace maid helped Danruo to go to the side hall to rest, and Qin Danqing took the opportunity to follow.
Seeing that there was no one around, she knelt down in front of Dan Ruo, acting very humble.
"Empress, it was all my sister's fault before. My mother has passed away, and I just realized how much she misled me, which led to my disrespectful remarks to you.
Please forgive my sister for the sake of our blood relationship. I personally made tiger-head shoes for your unborn prince. Please take a look at them."
Dan Ruo hesitated to answer, so Qin Danqing kowtowed heavily and pleaded, "Just think of it as for father."
Dan Ruo thought of General Qin and took it. He found that his hand was pricked by a tiny needle, and then a black dot quickly moved to the pricked finger.
Dan Ruo used his spiritual power to heal the wound instantly, and the black spot stopped. Dan Ruo picked it up and sent it to Qin Danqing.
"Is this your remorse?"
Qin Danqing's face turned grim when he saw that the truth was revealed.
