Wushuang, who had moved from the side hall of Fengyi Palace to the main hall, looked at the things in front of him and said with a smile, "Cuizhu, take them down and wash them."
"Soak the powder I gave you in water, and then wash with that water." Wushuang instructed.
"Yes." Cuizhu responded.
Judging from what their master meant, they knew that these things must have been added with something else. It went without saying that they were sent by other concubines, who wanted to cause their master to have a miscarriage.
The mistress has only been pregnant for more than a month, and it is not yet three months stable, so it is easy to have a miscarriage.
So the other concubines thought of giving their masters something so that their masters would not be the ones who gave birth to the emperor's eldest son.
Wushuang didn't care at all. These things with musk and safflower added were actually not very lethal. The more lethal ones were some secret medicines.
For example, the Thousand Days Drunk that the Queen Mother gave to Qin Mu was a secret medicine.
Among the things sent to Wushuang now, many of them contain secret medicines.
Cining Palace.
"Now that Chen Xiuyi is pregnant, the emperor will definitely not let her sleep with him. This is your chance." The empress dowager stared at Concubine Shu.
"You didn't get pregnant before because the emperor didn't touch you. So this time, let him touch you and successfully get pregnant." The Queen Mother warned with a serious expression.
Concubine Shu is also full of fighting spirit. She will definitely get pregnant before others.
Not only Concubine Shu, but all the other concubines turned their attention to Wushuang after knowing that she was pregnant, and tried every means to get rid of the baby in her belly.
Qin Mu was often dragged away by them, and he wanted to quickly conceive their child while Wushuang was pregnant.
But unfortunately, Qin Mu is the same as he was before, and the concubines can do nothing to him.
…
Cining Palace.
"Emperor, what are you going to do? Liu is a concubine of low birth. Being promoted to Xiuyi because she was the first to become pregnant is already a heaven-given honor for her. Do you still want to favor her alone?"
"As an emperor, how can you be so sentimental? She, Liu, is not qualified to be the mother of a country. You must have other children."
"There are so many noble ladies and concubines in the harem. What do you plan to do if you don't have children with them?" the Queen Mother accused angrily.
It has been almost two months since Wushuang revealed her pregnancy. The concubines in the harem have tried all kinds of methods to get rid of her child, but no one has succeeded. Although Wushuang's Fengyi Palace is not as impenetrable, it is not so easy to harm her.
The concubines still wanted to have children with Qin Mu as soon as possible, but they have not succeeded so far, which made the queen mother very unhappy.
Of course, what made her most unhappy was that Concubine Shu did not succeed. Concubine Shu still had not succeeded in sleeping with Qin Mu.
This made the Queen Mother feel very disappointed and resentful towards Qin Mu.
"She, Liu, is just a merchant girl. She's not even the daughter of a wealthy businessman. She's just the daughter of a small tofu shop owner. What qualifications does she have to be the mother of a country?"
"Emperor, please don't be confused!" said the Queen Mother earnestly.
Qin Mu listened to the Queen Mother's words calmly. After she finished speaking, he said calmly, "Liu is not qualified to be the mother of a country. Who can be?"
"Noble Consort Li? Or Virtuous Consort Liu? Or Zhaoyi Wang?"
"According to you, Queen Mother, only women from the Zhao family are qualified to become the queen mother of the Qin Dynasty?" Qin Mu stared at the Queen Mother.
"Just like when you, Queen Mother, killed my biological mother and deceived everyone by pretending I was your own child, thus winning the position of Queen Mother?"
"Are you still thinking that if I insist on not letting Concubine Shu have a child, you will let Liu give the child to Concubine Shu to raise?"
The Queen Mother was surprised when she heard what he said. She asked in disbelief, "How do you know all this?"
The incident of her exchanging children happened a long time ago, and the harem was in chaos at that time. The previous dynasty was also in chaos because the older children of the previous emperor were fighting for the throne, so she succeeded.
The most beautiful concubine in the late emperor's harem, Concubine Chen, was killed by her during childbirth and her child was snatched away.
Few people know about this.
"Why can't I know?" Qin Mu said calmly, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. The Queen Mother doesn't really think that no one in the world knows what you did, right?"
"You killed my mother. If you still want to maintain your dignity as the queen mother, you'd better not interfere in anything." Qin Mu stared into her eyes and said.
"Otherwise, I will not only kill you, Concubine Shu, but also the Zhao family behind you. I will not let them go."
Qin Mu has no feelings for his biological mother. He was raised by the Queen Mother since he was born. His biological mother died after he was born, so he definitely has no feelings for her.
But the Queen Mother did kill his biological mother after all. Wouldn't it be unfilial for him to say that he didn't seek revenge?
The Queen Mother looked at him in shock. "What did you say? What are you going to do to Zhao?"
Qin Mu looked at him and said, "Mother, I hope you can understand that you are able to become the Queen Mother because of me."
"You have been the Queen Mother for so many years and have an extraordinary status in the palace because of me." Qin Mu's expression was calm, but his words were extremely cold.
"If you do anything to Chen Xiuyi, I don't mind burying Zhao with her."
"Do you understand?" Qin Mu looked at her and said.
The Queen Mother was really frightened.
She thought Qin Mu didn't know his life experience, but she didn't expect that he actually knew it.
"You may not know that it was actually my father who told me my life story." Qin Mu said with a slight smile.
The Queen Mother's eyes widened even further.
"What did you say? Your father...how could your father..." The empress dowager was really scared. Did the late emperor know that she had attacked Concubine Chen?
But...if the late emperor knew, why didn't he avenge Concubine Chen?
"The evidence that you murdered the late emperor's concubine was also given to me by my father," Qin Mu continued.
The Queen Mother was even more puzzled. Why did this happen?
Could it be...
"Hahahaha... The late emperor actually knew what I did... Since he knew, he didn't take revenge on me... It seems that everything he said about how much he loved the Concubine was a lie!"
"It's a shame that Concubine Chen was still thinking about the late emperor before she died. The late emperor knew how she died, but he didn't do anything to me, her murderer, and even asked me, his enemy, to raise her son."
"Hahaha..." The Queen Mother was very happy.
How jealous she was of Concubine Chen back then.
Concubine Chen was a new concubine who entered the palace when the previous emperor was middle-aged. As a result, because of her stunningly beautiful face, she was favored by the harem and was named Concubine Chen before she even gave birth to a child.
That’s “Chen”!
It was obvious that in the Qin Dynasty's harem, the titles of concubines were reserved for the four noble, virtuous and virtuous concubines. However, the late emperor made an exception and bestowed the title of "Chen" on Concubine Chen.
It was also because the previous emperor had a concubine, Chen, that's why she reacted so strongly when Qin Mu changed Wushuang's title to "Chen".
The same stunning beauty, the same favored concubine in the harem, the same "Chen".
How uncomfortable would this make the Queen Mother?
