Acacia seeds...
He actually wanted to give her acacia seeds...
The cruelest punishment in this world is not death, but living a life worse than death...
Love seeds are a royal secret medicine and the best poison. Once poisoned, not only will people suffer from unbearable itching all over the body, loss of appetite, and weakness in the limbs, but they will also feel a pain that corrodes the bones and marrow, causing mental collapse and eventually death from difficulty breathing.
It's just like the feeling of lovers who want to see each other but can't and are deeply missing each other.
And sending the imperial physician to watch over her was simply to keep her alive, making her linger in a state of being neither dead nor alive.
"I know you hold grudges, but so what?"
Emperor Mian looked down at the queen who was lying on the ground, and slowly squatted down as he spoke.
"From the moment you started planning this, you should have expected this to be the outcome."
After saying this, he stood up and looked down at the queen condescendingly.
"You are right. I am not Di Lan, so I will not show mercy to anyone who threatens and betrays me."
After saying that, he pinched her mouth open and threw a red pill into the queen's mouth.
As soon as the pill went down her throat, the queen let out a heart-wrenching roar, her face turned pale and bloodless, with cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
Emperor Mian watched all this with an expressionless face, and by the way, he removed her jaw, leaving her no chance to bite her tongue to commit suicide.
After doing all this, Emperor Mian patted the non-existent dust on his clothes and turned to walk out.
When he reached the door, he stopped and ordered, "Watch the queen carefully. If she dies, you will all be buried with her."
The guards outside the door lowered their heads.
After Emperor Mian left, the room fell into silence.
, only the queen was left curled up on the ground in pain, unable to make any sound.
…
Soon, the news that the queen was deposed and imprisoned for life by the emperor spread like wildfire and became a hot topic of conversation in the palaces.
Everyone speculated that the queen was punished because the emperor found out that she had plotted to murder the royal heir. The emperor's attitude also made everyone understand once again the position of Concubine Gu in his heart.
You can mess with anyone in the harem, but don't mess with Concubine Gu. First it was Concubine Liang, then Concubine Ning, and now even the Queen is in trouble.
Everyone has their own judgment in their hearts.
However, the protagonist Gu Xiaoqiao seemed extremely calm in the face of such discussions.
It was the last afternoon of her confinement period. She was lying in bed playing with her child when Manager Wang came over with a cheerful look on his face.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Emperor has a son. His Majesty, in recognition of Your Majesty's hard work and contributions, has promoted Your Majesty to the title of Consort Jin."
Eunuch Wang said with a smile.
Gu Xiaoqiao was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Emperor Mian would be so quick and promote her rank just as she was about to leave the confinement period.
"Thank you, Manager Wang."
After saying this, he was about to ask Caiwei to help her up so that she could receive the imperial decree and express her gratitude, but he was stopped by Eunuch Wang.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to be so polite. His Majesty has instructed that your health has not yet recovered, so it's not appropriate to perform formalities. It would be better to wait until you are well again. It won't be too late to express your gratitude then."
Eunuch Wang had a flattering smile on his face.
Gu Xiaoqiao nodded, and without saying anything more, he asked Caiwei to receive the imperial edict on his behalf and gave Manager Wang the corresponding reward.
"Could you please tell the Emperor a message? The baby is almost one month old. When can the Emperor choose a name?"
Manager Wang touched his nose and said, "Yes."
"Then I will report back to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please have a good rest. I will take my leave."
Gu Xiaoqiao nodded slightly, "Well, take care, eunuch. We won't see you off."
"You're welcome, Madam."
Eunuch Wang left with a smile.
As soon as Eunuch Wang left, the house immediately returned to peace. Gu Xiaoqiao played with the child for a while and then asked Caiwei to take the child to find the wet nurse.
A month-old baby needs to be fed every once in a while.
As night fell, Caiwei prepared the bathtub and said to Gu Xiaoqiao, "Madam, I will wait for you to take a bath."
"Um."
Gu Xiaoqiao lay in the bathtub, letting the hot water wrap around her body. A warm current came over her, gradually dispelling her tiredness.
Caiwei gently massaged her shoulders and neck.
Gu Xiaoqiao squinted her eyes in comfort, "Well, Caiwei, your massage skills have improved again."
When Caiwei heard this, she immediately became proud.
"That's not true. I've been studying various massage techniques lately and I've been studying very hard!"
Morning and evening massage helps the body recover after childbirth, but her mother's foundation is really good. It's only been a month and her body has recovered to the same level as before giving birth.
If I have to say what the difference is, it is that she is a little fuller than before, her breasts seem to be bigger, her hips seem to be more upturned, and the whole person looks more charming and attractive.
"Caiwei, please bring me some hot water. It's a little cold."
"Yes, my lady."
Caiwei responded and turned to walk out, while Gu Xiaoqiao comfortably soaked in the bathtub with her eyes closed.
Soon, someone came in carrying a bucket of water.
Without even opening her eyes, Gu Xiaoqiao said casually, "Caiwei, just add two spoonfuls of water for me first."
Hearing this, the people behind him obediently followed the instructions.
He picked up the ladle from the bucket and scooped two scoops of water into it, then stirred it. After mixing it well, he scooped another scoop of water and slowly poured it over Gu Xiaoqiao's collarbone.
The water temperature is moderate and just right.
Gu Xiaoqiao felt the water flowing down her skin, sighed comfortably, and praised: "Caiwei, you are really getting better and better."
