"Your Majesty, these have been soaked in medicine. It's better to take them away." The head nanny said with disdain.
Tu Qingyu reached out and lifted the cloth on the table. "Is the imperial physician coming soon?"
"It's almost there."
As soon as the nanny finished speaking, Si Chao came in with the imperial physician.
"How are you?" Si Chao held her hand and looked around. Seeing that she was fine, he held her in his arms again.
"I'm fine, what brought you here so quickly?"
Before Si Chao could say anything, Eunuch Guangbing spoke up, "Your Majesty, as you can see, when His Majesty heard the news, he was discussing state affairs with his ministers. News from Fengyi Palace can be passed to Qinzheng Palace at any time.
His Majesty left his ministers behind and hurried here."
"Stop talking too much!" Si Chao scolded him as soon as he finished speaking.
Too talkative? If you think Guangbing is too talkative, you should have spoken up a long time ago.
She pulled him, "Don't do that next time. If you abandon the court officials like this once or twice, it's okay, but if you do it every time, won't I become a demon concubine who brings disaster?"
"When I heard that poison had appeared in Fengyi Palace again, how could I have the mind to handle the affairs of state?" Besides, who would dare to say anything with him around?
"I'm fine. There are so many people around me. If something happens to me, then they and I will both die."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Si Chao glared at her and called the imperial physician, "Hurry up and take a look, what's going on!"
The imperial physician stepped forward and sniffed around, then stood up and saluted. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, these brocade and porcelain pieces are soaked in medicine. The brocade is soaked in Soul-Cleansing Grass, and the porcelain is soaked in the sap of the Seedless Tree. Soul-Cleansing Grass can be used in cooking, and long-term consumption is beneficial to the body. However, if combined with the Seedless Tree, it becomes the most powerful abortion drug."
When Si Chao heard the word "abortion pills", his face immediately darkened.
"Oh, good, that's great!"
"Put them all away." He waved his hand and gritted his teeth, "Go check. I want to see who is so desperate."
After saying this, he was afraid of scaring Tu Qingyu, so he took a deep breath and took her hand, "Doctor, please take another look at her."
Fortunately, after taking her pulse, the imperial physician said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty is in good health, and the prince in her belly is also healthy."
But, he seemed to have found something different.
It’s still a short month now, so we can’t be sure. Let’s wait for another month or two to make sure.
By then, maybe you can get another reward.
"That's good, you guys go down first."
After the others walked for a while, he stuck to Tu Qingyu again.
He hugged her, rested his head on her shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I will take care of these things, Qingyu, don't leave me."
His harem is indeed dangerous, but he really can't let anyone go.
"Why are you saying this all of a sudden? I'm pregnant."
"I know that even if you are pregnant, if you want to leave, the child cannot hold you back."
When he was able to jump off a cliff and fake his death so decisively, he knew that he had to be extremely careful in order to keep the person by his side.
"Don't worry, I'm not a heartless person. As long as you treat me consistently, I won't betray you."
"I know."
The result came out in the evening. The things came from the Shang Gong Bureau. Among them, Si Zhi Si Zhen, Dian Zhi Dian Zhen, Zhang Zhi Zhang Zhen, and Shang Gong, who were in charge of brocade, silk, gold, jade and other precious goods, a total of nine people were brought in for trial.
Soon, Zhang Zhi and Zhang Zhen confessed, saying that they were instructed by Concubine Qian and Wei Baolin.
Wei Baolin felt resentful towards Tu Qingyu because he failed to perform a dance at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and wanted Tu Qingyu to have a miscarriage.
Si Chao took the confession and took a quick look at it. Without even looking up, he threw the papers aside and said, "Let's check again."
Haha, you want to take the blame by pushing out two little beauties and talented people?
Perhaps, in the past, for the sake of peace in the harem, he would take into account the face of some families and accept whatever the findings revealed.
But it’s different now. He will not let go anyone who dares to harm his Qingyu.
At this moment, Tu Qingyu came in with the curtain open. "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
"Why are you here?" He hurriedly stood up to help the person. "It's getting a little chilly at night. Why don't you put on a cloak before coming out?"
"Cool?" She put her hand into his large palm, "Look at my hand."
Si Chao paused, then rubbed it with his fingertips, "It's indeed hot."
"This is..." Tu Qingyu looked at the papers on the ground, "Are the results out?"
"Not yet, this doesn't count as a result."
She bent down to pick up the paper on the ground, took a look at it, and said with a smile: "It really doesn't count."
Si Chao: "It will be soon. The real results should be out tomorrow."
In fact, it is easy to guess that there are only a few people in the palace who have the opportunity to win over the major parties.
Tu Qingyu: "I'm not in a hurry. They should be the ones who are in a hurry now."
Maybe they are still discussing what to do.
I'm afraid I'll be found out.
Dabao: "Master, you are so smart. I will play VCR for you."
In Zhao Xiuyi's Changding Palace, Zhao Xiuyi and Wang Jieyu sat opposite each other.
Concubine Wang's face was filled with panic. "I heard that the Shanggong Bureau arrested nine people from Shanggong to Zhangzhen. How could they be discovered so quickly?"
Normally, such an action would not be discovered so quickly, let alone not at all.
"Why are you panicking?" Zhao Xiuyi was also very annoyed. "His Majesty attaches so much importance to her, he must have arranged many people around her. Isn't it normal to be discovered?"
"Aren't you worried that those people will betray us?"
"Give us away?" Zhao Xiuyi slammed her hands on the table. "Besides Shang Gong, who else knows that this was orchestrated by you and me?"
She has already made a way out. This thing can only be done by Wei Baolin and others.
"But Shang Gong isn't from either of our families. How can you be so sure she won't betray you?"
"Don't worry about that. You just need to know that she won't betray me."
Although they said this, both of them had anxious expressions on their faces.
Tu Qingyu: "What's the relationship between Shang Gong and her?"
Dabao: "Shang Gong is her uncle's ex-girlfriend."
Tu Qingyu: “Ah?”
Dabao: "Back then, the An and Zhao families were a perfect match. Unfortunately, the An family's old master passed away, and none of the younger generation of the An family achieved anything. The family gradually declined, and it was during this time that An Shanggong was sent to the palace by his family."
Originally, the An family wanted An Shanggong to become the late emperor's concubine, but unfortunately due to the struggles in the harem, she became a female official by accident.
When she entered the palace, she had already fallen in love with Zhao Xiuyi's uncle.
For the sake of the family, they had to separate from each other.
The young uncle was also a sentimental man. Since he couldn't marry the person he loved, he simply became a monk.
Tu Qingyu: "Became a monk? Did he really become a monk because he couldn't marry An Shanggong?"
Dabao: "It doesn't matter why he became a monk. What matters is that An Shanggong felt that he left home because he couldn't marry me."
