Extra Chapter 37: The Emperor Without an Heir
Everyone looked at Tu Qingyu, and then looked at the imperial concubine.
Unexpectedly, Tu Qingyu didn't give money to Xiurong to save face. Instead, he picked up the teacup in front of him and said to the imperial concubine, "My small kitchen over there has newly developed several delicious and beautiful snacks. Sister, do you want to come over to my place to try them later?"
To be honest, Tu Qingyu didn't expect that he would get along so well with the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine.
It is true that these two people have interesting personalities and pure souls.
The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows slightly and raised her wine glass to return the toast, "Okay, that girl Aning said yesterday that she missed the snacks from your small kitchen in the palace."
Naturally, she would not get cosmetic surgery for money to humiliate Tu Qingyu.
"Why me?" Concubine Xian immediately curled her lips in displeasure, "Sister Qingyu obviously likes the snacks in her palace too."
The imperial concubine glanced at her lazily, and she quickly changed her words, "Yes, yes, yes, I like it, I'm greedy."
Several discerning ladies in the audience immediately followed suit, saying, "What kind of snack is it that the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine are obsessed with? I, your humble servant, would like to try some as well."
Tu Qingyu: "If you want it, Madam, I'll have someone bring some back for you when you leave the palace."
The wife of Marquis Dingguo came to the banquet not because she had a good relationship with Qian Xiurong, but because she heard that a concubine of the Qian family had helped her grandson once.
Although she had repaid this favor with money and power, this was the first time Qian Xiurong had sent her an invitation, so Lady Dingguo Hou thought it was one last favor to Qian Xiurong because of what happened last time.
After Tu Qingyu finished speaking, the wife of the Marquis of Dingguo immediately stood up and saluted, "Then I would like to thank the Empress Shufei for the reward."
Everyone was having a great time at the banquet, except Qian Xiurong, who was still holding a glass of wine and had a grim expression on his face. The viciousness and resentment in his eyes could hardly be concealed.
Meng Tian looked at her thoughtfully, and in her heart she said to the system, "Tell me, if I enter the harem in the future, can I join forces with Qian Xiurong?"
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
System: "Yes, host. We will solve them one by one. You will definitely stand at the top."
Tu Qingyu found it funny to hear what Yitong said. She picked up the teacup to hide the smile on her lips.
Qian Xiurong felt that the smile was dazzling. She glanced to the side and the nanny next to her nodded slightly at her, indicating that the matter had been done.
About a quarter of an hour after she finished doing all this, the palace maid pouring wine for the old princess was replaced by a new face.
After pouring wine for the old princess, he gave Meng Tian a wink.
Meng Tian understood and nodded slightly. The palace maid next to her staggered and the wine in her hand spilled on her skirt.
"ah!"
She exclaimed softly, and as if realizing the occasion, she quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound.
But the people present still noticed her, and she hurriedly bowed and apologized, "I hope Your Majesty will forgive me, your humble servant, your humble servant..."
She seemed to be in great difficulty, looking at the hem of her skirt and unable to speak.
The palace maid who spilled the wine knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is all my fault. I accidentally spilled the wine and stained this young lady's dress."
Qian Xiurong was about to get angry when she heard the old princess speak, "Don't blame me, Your Majesty. I don't think this little girl meant it. Just let Tiantian go down and change her clothes. It's such a wonderful day today. Don't let this little thing ruin your mood."
No one would have thought that the old princess would speak at this time.
This was a very strange thing to say. The host of the banquet hadn't said anything yet, and hadn't said whether there would be a punishment or not, but she was already begging for mercy.
After hearing this, Qian Xiurong's face turned pale, but the old princess had seniority and status after all, and she would not really be aggressive over such a small matter.
I could only wave my hand to let the matter go.
The little palace maid immediately stood up and left as if she had been pardoned. Meng Tian also apologized and said she was going to change her clothes.
Qian Xiurong stared coldly at Meng Tian's back and said to the trusted eunuch beside him, "Go follow her and don't let her leave Wanfu Palace."
She didn't believe that this woman even invited the old princess out and made such a big fuss just to reunite Tu Qingyu with his family.
"yes."
Tu Qingyu noticed everyone's little movements, including the drugged snacks in front of her and the green plants sprinkled with drug powder next to her.
This method is quite subtle. There is nothing wrong with the snacks and green plants themselves, but the ingredients in the snacks plus the fragrance of the green plants themselves and the medicinal powder on the green plants, the three drugs put together can cause miscarriage.
Of course, the effect of this medicine will not take effect immediately in a short period of time, but as long as Tu Qingyu is infected once, the medicine will remain in her body and slowly make her body weak until the fetus is born three months later.
This is a very old prescription. Even the most skilled physician in the Imperial Hospital would find it difficult to think of this if he came across it today without anyone reminding him.
Three months later, Tu Qingyu had a miscarriage. No one would have thought that she had been tricked at a banquet a few months ago.
The imperial physician couldn't see anything wrong when the accident happened, so it would be even more impossible for him to have an abortion three months later.
Dabao: "Master, what are you going to do about this?"
"What should I do?" Tu Qingyu lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Of course, I would send her to the cold palace."
After all, she has become an immortal now, and she can no longer talk about sending people to death at will.
Dabao: "When will the master take action?"
Tu Qingyu: "No rush, let's do it one thing at a time. Turn on the live broadcast from Meng Tian's side."
Dabao: "Okay, Master."
Qian Xiurong's trusted eunuch originally followed Meng Tian closely, but when she was about to enter the dressing room in the side hall, Meng Tian used the system's sleight of hand to shake off the eunuch, and then went all the way to a small room in the side hall of Wanfu Palace.
It was a small house on the way to Wanfu Palace for a banquet.
"System, His Majesty is coming, quickly prepare your deception."
"Good host."
When Li Yuanqi came into their sight, Meng Tian's appearance instantly changed to Tu Qingyu's.
Li Yuanqi, who had rushed over after hearing someone causing trouble at the banquet, stopped in his tracks when he saw the person standing under the corridor.
"Qingyu?"
The anti-poison pill he was carrying close to his body began to heat up, but in the blink of an eye, the person in front of him had completely changed.
No, not Qingyu.
So what happened to him just now?
Are your eyes blurry from dealing with state affairs these days?
No, he was clearly refreshed when he woke up in the morning. It was impossible for him to be so tired that even Qingyu could have misjudged him.
His personal eunuch Lu Bao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's the Concubine Shu."
"Who do you say she is?" Li Yuanqi frowned.
Lu Bao said, "Empress Shufei."
What's wrong with the master? Why doesn't the Concubine Shu recognize her?
Hearing him say "Empress Shufei" without hesitation, Li Yuanqi quickly suppressed the shock in his eyes, turned the jade ring in his hand, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Let's go and ask your mistress Shufei what she is doing here." He emphasized the words "mistress Shufei".
