Chapter 338: Concubine De steals corpse

The newly appointed Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is still Jiang Yankun's man. He told Jiang Yankun that among the four vassal states, Princess Lihua of Goguryeo also came with the envoys.

After Jiang Yankun told Jiang Xinyue the news, she didn't understand for a while. What happened to the princess of Goguryeo? What's special about her?

She didn't take the princess seriously. She forgot about it because another thing made her more concerned.

She is pregnant again.

The lotus pond in front of Xihe Hall has been filled up. Xihe Hall is now renamed Qingyang Palace. It is said that the word Yang was mentioned by the emperor himself.

The filled lotus pond was planted with roses. When Jiang Xinyue saw it, she couldn't help but complain in her heart: The emperor is keen on planting flowers. He plants the flowers that the concubine likes. He should be the best gardener in the palace!

When the large area of ​​roses blooms, it will probably be March next year, when the selection is held every three years.

The gate of Qingyang Palace will become a popular attraction.

But it has nothing to do with Jiang Xinyue. The arrival of the little guy in her belly has delayed the time when the emperor wants to hold the canonization ceremony.

Emperor Xuanwu, who had patted her belly gently before it was conceived, immediately touched it again and said, "You little thing, it would be better if you waited a few days longer. I have finally finished my work, and now you are here again. How can your mother's body bear it?"

Imperial Physician Yan said that Jiang Xinyue had a cold body and it was extremely difficult for her to conceive. In order to have her first child, she had to wait for a year and a half before she succeeded.

And it was not without his hard work every night.

This time, she had a second child so soon, so she had to be extra careful and not let her suffer any hardship or fatigue, otherwise she would easily have a miscarriage.

Jiang Xinyue thought it was nothing, because Concubine De, the expert in abortion, had already been eliminated. Concubine Wen, Concubine Yu, and Concubine Ye in the harem, as well as Concubine Zhuang who came out this time to expose Concubine De's crimes, were all Jiang Xinyue's people. Who else would harm her?

Who else would dare to harm her?

Oh, yes, there is also Concubine Cheng, who was actually forgotten.

She has been too quiet recently, and Jiang Xinyue even forgot about this person.

If a child is quiet, he must be doing something naughty, and this sentence also applies to Concubine Cheng, the naughty child.

"Where is the pigeon soup that I asked the kitchen to stew? Is it ready?"

The emperor had seen Jiang Xinyue's reaction when she was pregnant with the sixth prince.

She vomited everything she ate, and she was tortured to the point of being skin and bones. This time, no matter what he said, he would keep an eye on her meals the whole time, and if she lost a pound, he would be considered an incompetent husband.

"Drinking pigeon soup again?"

Jiang Xinyue pouted: "Your Majesty, I've almost become a pigeon spirit. If you don't believe me, just listen... cluck, cluck, cluck..."

Emperor Xuanwu was amused by her silly and cute appearance: "Cluck, cluck is a chicken, and pigeon is cuckoo, cuckoo..."

"It turns out that the emperor is a pigeon."

Jiang Xinyue shook her head proudly: "No wonder you let me eat pigeons all day long!"

She deliberately imitated the crowing of a chicken to let the emperor imitate the crowing of a pigeon.

The emperor was even more amused and grabbed her and hugged her in his arms. The smell of happiness filled the entire Hexi Palace.

Shuangjiang and Xijue looked at each other and left the flower hall lightly.

Tang Shiliang followed the emperor's order and served the pigeon soup that the imperial concubine wanted to drink in the kitchen: "General Manager Gao, you have been guarding and not leaving, right?"

"No."

Chef Gao shook his head: "But for the safety of the queen, you should test the poison before eating!"

If someone poisoned the ingredients in advance, he would not be able to explain it even if he had a hundred mouths.

Tang Shiliang raised his hand and took out a little white mouse from a small box. He scooped a small spoonful of the soup in the stew pot and poured it in front of the little white mouse. The little white mouse licked the table clean after smelling it.

After waiting for a while, the little white mouse did not respond, so Tang Shiliang put away the box and left.

Since the last time Concubine Zhang put a snake on the emperor and caused Wang Dequan to be poisoned, the emperor did not allow him to test poison, but used little white mice instead of humans.

Wang Dequan was very moved by this. The emperor was afraid that something might happen to him, so he changed the rules passed down by the ancestors!

Could this pigeon soup contain a chronic poison that was used to harm the baby in the empress' belly?

Tang Shiliang walked out of the kitchen, and he was like a paranoid man, and he kept thinking wildly.

This thought and hesitation delayed the time.

"Wow!"

"Who are you? Why are you climbing the wall? Stop!"

When they reached a palace, a figure wearing a dark red cloak and covering his entire face appeared on the palace wall, and under the palace wall, there were two guards acting as footstools.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the hat of the red cloak fell down, revealing a face that frightened Tang Shiliang.

The palace servants behind him even shouted: "De Fei... De Fei... Madam De Fei stole a corpse!!"

Stealing a corpse?

Emperor Xuanwu sat up suddenly from his chair: "Tang Shiliang, are you sure you saw De Fei?"

Tang Shiliang nodded with a worried look on his face: "It's absolutely true, not only I saw it, but also those who went to the kitchen saw it."

But because they made too much noise, De Fei was frightened and fell directly from the palace wall. The two guards also ran away quickly.

When they chased to the other side of the palace wall, De Fei's figure had disappeared.

"Bang!"

"You actually switched the furniture right under my nose. Great! You're really brave!"

Emperor Xuanwu clenched his fingers into a fist and hit the small tea table. The loud noise scared Jiang Xinyue. The emperor patted her and his eyes softened: "You stay well in Hexi Palace. Don't leave anyone by your side until you find Concubine De."

Concubine De is already a desperate madman. Who knows what she might do.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wen and the other concubines are outside seeking an audience."

"Let them in."

The emperor felt that the more people around Jiang Xinyue, the better. Concubine Wen and the others came at the right time.

Jiang Xinyue raised her hand: "No, Your Majesty, Concubine De faked her death and escaped, but she has been lurking in the palace for so long. It is obvious that she is coming for me. She wants my life, and if she can't find a chance, she will stay in the palace. This is too dangerous. I can lure her out."

"No!"

The emperor directly rejected: "You also said that she is dangerous. I don't allow you to do such a dangerous thing. You are pregnant with a child. What if..."

He didn't dare to imagine it.

"Let me come!"

Yupin had heard their words outside the door: "I heard a maid in Shun'an Palace say that Concubine De didn't seem to be dead, which scared Tang Shiliang enough. Although my appearance is not one ten-thousandth of that of the Imperial Concubine, my figure is most similar to that of the Empress, so let me come to lure Concubine De to appear."

"Yupin has some truth in what she said, let her come."

This time Emperor Xuanwu quickly agreed.

Yupin rolled her eyes to the sky: You are using my life to do a favor!

She is doing it for the Imperial Concubine, not for the dog emperor, he is really capable.
