Chapter 22 The Emperor Cannot Be Humanely Exterminated



Concubine Qin's face turned pale. "No, it's not like that... Your Majesty, it must be this bitch!"

Once again pointing the finger at her personal maid, Concubine Qin was in a panic, "I had no idea at all, it must have been her, she acted on her own!"

"My Lady! I have grown up with you. Do you really want to kill me?"

The servant cried bitterly, crawled to the emperor on her knees, and kowtowed repeatedly, one louder than the other, "Your Majesty, if it weren't for Concubine Qin threatening me with my parents."

"I have no grudge against Concubine Rou, so why would I poison her? This was all Concubine Qin's idea. She forced me to do it. I'll tell you everything. Please, Your Majesty, spare my life!"

Like a broken jar, the maid wiped the tears from her face and spoke directly to Lady Qin.

"Not only this time, but also last time, when Concubine Rou fell, when Concubine Lin had a miscarriage, and even when Concubine Shu died suddenly, all of these were..."

"Shut up right there!"

A slap landed mercilessly on the maid's face, but after doing this, Lady Qin froze in place, unable to utter a word.

Some of the things the maid talked about were done by her, but some had nothing to do with her.

But she has always been a smart person. She glanced at the imperial concubine who came prepared, the maid who turned against her at the last minute, and even the aunt, the empress dowager, who had always protected her, and turned her eyes away.

Know clearly.

Even if she had a very eloquent mouth, no one would believe her at this moment.

"That's enough."

Wen Yunxiao raised his hand and gently touched his brows. He looked at Qin Meiren with eyes that no longer contained any trace of nostalgia. "I never thought that there would be a vicious woman like you in my harem!"

"Come here, Concubine Qin murdered the heir to the throne and poisoned the concubines. Her evil intentions are unacceptable and must be thrown into the Heavenly Prison immediately and executed in the autumn!"

The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet ended abruptly.

Now, there is no such person as Concubine Qin in the harem anymore.

"My Lady."

Nanny Jiang walked in with a smile on her face. Ever since the poisoning at the palace banquet, the Lingxi Palace had been cleaned up from top to bottom, and the emperor and the empress dowager were extremely cautious.

Not to mention eating.

Anything that was personal to her had to be examined by the imperial physician before being presented to her.

Of course, even so, after those things entered Lingxi Palace, they would have to be checked again by Nanny Jiang or Xing'er before they would appear in front of her.

The harem is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. Lin Chunhuan feels that no matter how careful he is, it can never be too much.

Seeing the smile on Nanny Jiang's face, Lin Chunhuan asked with a smile, "Has the soup been delivered? Is the Queen Mother feeling better?"

After Concubine Qin was thrown into the Heavenly Prison, the Queen Mother fell ill. Although it was not a serious illness, she was bedridden for more than half a month. It was only in recent days that she showed some improvement.

"Much better. Knowing that it was the soup sent by our Lingxi Palace, the Queen Mother even has a much better appetite."

"Your Majesty, there's news from outside. On the day of the palace banquet, Prince Jin called the Duke into his study. I don't know what they said, but when he left, his face was covered in blood. I'm afraid the two of them were not happy."

Lin Chunhuan smiled when he heard this.

Now that the adoption has come to nothing, the emperor has set his sights on the Prince of Jin's Mansion because of the incident involving General Fan.

She really wanted to take a good look at the entire Prince Jin's Mansion to see if it could still be as smooth sailing as in her previous life. She lowered her eyes and selected a plain pearl hairpin, handing it to Nanny Jiang. "Where is Princess Changning?"

"The miscarriage hurt you, are you feeling better now?"

"I think it's better now." Nanny Jiang sneered, "For some reason, the other day, the county lord was made to kneel outside the house for an entire hour."

With the pearl hairpin firmly inserted in her hair, Lin Chunhuan stood up.

The baby in her belly is now over five months old, but her body does not look bulky. She has slender arms and a long neck. She only needs to tie her hair loosely.

Not only does it not look awkward at all, but it also appears more gentle.

"Let's go to the Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother."

“…cough cough cough”

Bursts of coughing were heard. As soon as Lin Chunhuan entered the room, she took the medicine from the nanny and asked, "Why is the Queen Mother still coughing so badly?"

"Have you consulted the imperial physician?"

However, the Queen Mother just waved her hand and said, "It's nothing serious. There's no need to bother the imperial physician."

"It's just that it's hard on you and the emperor, coming here every now and then, and you're pregnant... Honestly, it's my fault."

Lin Chunhuan put down the medicine in her hand in a feigned expression of displeasure, but the concern in her eyes was genuine. "Your Majesty, what you said is truly humiliating to me."

"I was hoping that after the child was born, she would be raised by the Empress Dowager herself. The Empress Dowager must take good care of herself."

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up slightly, and she grabbed her hand in disbelief.

Her lips trembled with excitement. "Roupin, are you really willing to leave the child with me?"

"certainly."

Lin Chun smiled shyly.

Then a trace of bitterness appeared between his brows, "After all, your health is still because of Qin..."

Before he could finish his words, seeing the empress dowager's expression change slightly, Lin Chunhuan raised his hand and covered his mouth.

"I spoke too much and said the wrong thing. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's take the medicine."

In the end, the medicine was not fed into the Queen Mother's mouth, but her slender hand was held tightly.

The Queen Mother had some expectations in her eyes, "Princess Rou, please help me with something."

It’s just getting dark.

When Wen Yunxiao walked into Lingxi Palace, he saw Lin Chunhuan looking uneasy. She didn't even notice when others approached her until they put their hands on her shoulders.

Then he turned around in panic, "Your Majesty!"

"Why didn't you let anyone know you were coming? You scared me!"

Lin Chunhuai pursed his lips in grievance.

While she was complaining, her slender arms tightly embraced the man beside her.

"Seeing you were distracted, I didn't let anyone disturb you. But I didn't expect my Huan'er to be so easily frightened." Wen Yunxiao's tone was gentle, with a hint of doting.

Although at the beginning, he kept Lin Chunhuan by his side only because she could make him respond, and later he became particularly concerned about her because she had a child.

But we have been together for a long time.

He felt more and more that such a woman was exactly what he wanted, never blindly obeying him, and they were like an ordinary couple when they got along, which made him feel particularly comfortable.

Gradually, I became unable to leave it.

"Did the Queen Mother give you any instructions today?"

The emperor asked directly, but Lin Chunhuan's face turned pale when he heard it, "The emperor knows everything?"

"No problem." Wen Yunxiao rubbed his smooth hair with amusement and chuckled, "My Queen Mother is right. After thinking about it, I think it is most appropriate for you to do this."

Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips and nodded slightly, looking nervous. She did not open her eyes again until she had helped the emperor fall asleep, revealing a sincere smile.

I'm afraid Lady Qin would never have thought of this.

Would her aunt, the Empress Dowager, personally order someone to poison her?
