Chapter 21: The Angry Emperor with No Heir x The Cannon Fodder Female Match and the Concubine's Daughter 21
"My queen..."
Seeing Jin Ling's hesitation, Qiao Jinjin chuckled and said, "I know what you want to say."
"Instead of trying to deal with them, it's better to just not deal with them."
"I am pregnant with the Emperor's child and cannot take any risks."
"Empress Yuan is right. The women in the harem are very scheming. They'll dig a hole for someone to fall into at any time." Nanny Liu came out from the back with a look of agreement on her face.
"It's just that Your Majesty has clearly reminded Concubine Xian, and I'm afraid she will do something bad to Your Majesty."
Qiao Jinjin shook her head. "At the moment, Concubine Xian is just trying to avoid me. She can't guess how much I know."
The sun was setting, and Mo Liyuan came to Kunning Palace in the afterglow of the sunset.
When he saw Aunt Qiao, he kissed her on the forehead.
"How was your day? Was your child well behaved?"
As always, Aunt Qiao took his hand and placed it on her belly. "Silly boy, the child is only two months old. Your Majesty can ask you this question again when I am five months pregnant."
Mo Liyuan curled his lips and smiled, "It's me who is anxious. I heard that Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian are here today?"
Aunt Qiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes, but I don't want to deal with them. I speak more directly."
After saying this, he looked up at Mo Liyuan and said, "Your Majesty, please issue an imperial decree."
Mo Liyuan frowned in confusion. "What imperial decree?"
Qiao Jinjin chuckled and gently stroked her belly with one hand. "I have angered the Dragon's face and am confined to Kunning Palace. No one is allowed to visit me."
After saying this, she blinked her eyes again and said, "Next month, please ask Jinling to change my appearance for me, and I will leave the palace to relax."
"Hahahaha" Mo Liyuan paused, then immediately laughed "You clever girl, I know what my beloved concubine means"
It's good to know that Concubine Yugui has already had a miscarriage, so I have to keep a low profile and try not to let others know that I am pregnant. Otherwise, not to mention the concubines in the palace, it will be troublesome to deal with the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Qiao Jinjin lowered her eyes and thought, "Your Majesty, if my guess is correct, did someone propose to establish a crown prince again during the court session this morning?"
Mo Liyuan frowned when he heard this, and suppressed his annoyance and said "Hmm"
"So what does the emperor have plans?"
Mo Liyuan sighed. He would not hide this from his aunt.
"Master Li will not live long. I have ordered people to poison his food. He will be fine for now, but he will die suddenly within three months."
"As for Prime Minister Qiao, aunt, there is something I want to tell you."
Qiao Jinjin looked at Mo Liyuan who had a serious face, and put away the smile on her face. "What's the matter?"
"Prime Minister Qiao may not be Prime Minister Qiao"
"Auntie, can you understand?"
Mo Liyuan spoke this sentence carefully. He had originally planned to wait until Aunt Qiao's pregnancy was stable before telling her, but he really didn't want to hide it from Aunt Qiao. He wanted to tell her everything in time.
He believed that Aunt Qiao was a strong person, otherwise she would not have survived in such a difficult environment.
Qiao Jinjin only felt bitter in her heart. "Your Majesty means that the current Prime Minister Qiao is not Qiao Zhenshan. How long has it been?"
"Fifteen years"
When Mo Liyuan said this number, Qiao Jinjin felt relieved. So the person who had hurt her and her mother so miserably in the previous life was not her father.
"Does the Princess know?"
Mo Liyuan shook his head. "She doesn't know. Even Qiao Zhenzhen is not the daughter of Qiao Zhenshan and the current Prime Minister Qiao."
This time, Aunt Qiao's eyes widened. "Could it be that Prime Minister Qiao found a substitute to deal with the princess?"
Seeing Mo Liyuan nod, Jin Jin Qiao sighed in her heart. The eldest princess and Qiao Zhenzhen were so unlucky that the person they slept with was not their husbands.
"System, your information is inaccurate."
[Host, I am only responsible for delivering the main storyline. As for these supporting characters, I do not pay attention to them unless the host specifically asks me to inquire.]
"Okay, then help me check if Qiao Zhenshan... is still alive?"
[Sorry host, he has passed away]
Jin Jin Qiao closed her eyes. If her father had really been murdered long ago, then her enemies would be the current prime minister and the family of the Grand Tutor.
"My dear, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Qiao Jinjin opened her eyes and smiled at Mo Liyuan, "I'm fine. I just know that my father is not so cruel to me. I feel relieved all of a sudden."
Mo Liyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't want to tell you this so early, for fear that you wouldn't be able to bear it."
"Your Majesty," Jinjin Qiao raised her hands and hugged Mo Liyuan's neck, "Thank you. Don't hide anything from me in the future. I am most afraid of suspicion."
"good"
The emperor's decree issued the next day made the concubines in the harem unable to believe it.
"You are under house arrest for no reason. Qing'er, did the emperor stay in Kunning Palace yesterday?"
Qing'er pinched Concubine Yu's shoulders and said, "Yes, I heard that the emperor looked very unhappy when he left Kunning Palace this morning. If I were to ask you, Concubine Yuan must have become so arrogant after being favored that she made the emperor unhappy."
Concubine Yu Gui laughed sarcastically, "She just relies on her beauty and doesn't think about the fact that there is no shortage of beauties in the harem."
"Forget it, let's not talk about her. After a while of house arrest, the emperor might forget about her."
Qing'er hesitated for a moment and said, "My queen, are you really not going to fight for the power to manage the six palaces?"
Concubine Yu Gui narrowed her eyes and snorted softly, "How can I not fight? Prepare some food and we will go to Yu's study later."
When Concubine Yugui arrived, she saw Concubine Xian standing at the door of Yu's study from a distance. "Hey, why are you here, little sister?"
Concubine Xian pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly and said, "Greetings to sister Guifei. I heard that sister Yuanfei was under house arrest. I don't think it was intentional to displease the emperor."
"Oh," Yu Guifei raised her eyebrows in understanding, "So you want to come and plead for Concubine Yuan, but are you familiar with Concubine Yuan?"
At this time, Ma De walked out of Yu's study. Seeing Concubine Xian and Concubine Yugui at the door, he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig his nose in the ground and said, "Greetings to the two ladies. The emperor said that he is in a bad mood and will not see anyone. Please go back early, ladies."
Concubine Yugui glared at Concubine Xian fiercely. If Concubine Xian had not come, the emperor would have definitely seen her. But now, the emperor has said that he will not see anyone anymore.
"Hmph, fake kindness"
Concubine Xian was filled with hatred. Concubine Yugui had embarrassed her in front of so many servants. She looked at Concubine Yugui aggrievedly and said, "Sister, why do you say that? I really care about Concubine Yuan."
Concubine Xian raised her voice deliberately when she said this. She always appeared gentle and kind in front of the emperor. If the emperor could hear her, he might be more sympathetic to her.
Ma De really wanted to roll his eyes. These concubines were too pretentious. He bowed again and said, "The emperor said that if anyone disturbs the emperor again, he will be banished to the cold palace."
Concubine Xian quickly closed her mouth, which made Concubine Yugui look at her with contempt.
"Qing'er, let's go. Some people have such ugly faces."
Mo Liyuan pinched his eyebrows in annoyance. These women were really restless. Sooner or later, they would all be sent out of the palace.
"Mad"
