Chapter 342 He is not as good as you
Shen Qing felt that no matter how much Xuanyuan Ling doted on her, she would always be sensitive about this kind of issue.
However, maybe he just didn't have the opportunity right now? After all, it was hard to say whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl. If the child was born as a prince, and there were voices in the court to establish a crown prince when he grew up, today's incident might reveal something. Now, after all, it was still early.
Xuanyuan Ling was getting angrier and angrier as he spoke: "Am I so superficial in your heart? Have I not seen all your looks? I know you are cunning, but after all these years, don't I know you know your limits? Can't I see that you are only trying to protect yourself, not to hurt others?"
He was angry when he said this, so his tone became a little harsh.
As a result, after he finished saying this, he saw Shen Qing staring at him in a daze, with a complicated expression.
Shen Qing's heart was complicated. He pointed it out so directly, as if she had nothing to hide in front of him, right?
"I thought the Emperor would mind."
Xuanyuan Ling looked at her unhappily: "You are not very old, but you have a lot on your mind. Why? Do I suspect that you covet the throne just because you mentioned the crown prince?"
Shen Qing was speechless. Is it possible to say this?
Xuanyuan Ling choked when he said this. The atmosphere was so tense that he just said it. But since he had said it, he just looked at her and said, "I am not old enough to suspect such things. I am still in my prime. Should I be afraid of a woman like you or the unborn child in your belly?"
Since ancient times, emperors have been trapped in a vicious circle, that is, when their princes grow up, they see that their princes are capable one by one while they themselves are getting older and older, and their suspicion will become more serious. Many emperors will be suspicious of their princes because of this, and the crown prince is basically the first to be affected. If there is a prince with a reputation for virtue, the older the emperor gets, the more he will feel that one day he will be replaced. Many emperors will blame the prince or crown prince with a reputation for virtue for this.
Xuanyuan Ling understood Chen Qing's caution, but he still felt that she was too cautious. He was not as cautious as before. He thought she was sensible when he found out. On the contrary, he felt that it was not good for her to be too sensible.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know what will happen in the future, and I can't guarantee it, but at least I won't do it now."
This statement can almost be said to be very frank.
He did not say that he would not have any suspicions, because he himself did not know whether he would really have any suspicions when he watched power slip away from his hands.
Chen Qing suddenly realized that in order to let Xuanyuan Ling know that she loved him deeply in her heart, she had set up a personality for herself and showed him everything she was willing to show him. Now, Xuanyuan Ling's behavior could even be said to be no different from what she had done before.
He was also laying himself out for her to see.
The only difference is probably that Shen Qing had laid it out differently at the beginning. What she showed to Xuanyuan Ling was originally partly fake, but Xuanyuan Ling didn't, what he said was true.
Chen Qing's heart was a little confused all of a sudden. She turned her head away and didn't dare to look into Xuanyuan Ling's eyes. Isn't the feeling of guilt coming?
"It's my fault." Shen Qing said this and found that he still couldn't tell the truth. One lie always had to be filled with countless lies: "I was just afraid that the emperor would think I was scheming and that I was bad... so I didn't dare to say it..."
Xuanyuan Ling couldn't get angry anymore when he saw her expression.
If you say she is sensible, she actually has some womanly thoughts at this moment.
But she was originally a little girl, and some of these little thoughts were also lovable. Xuanyuan Ling reached out to grab Shen Qing and said in a good voice: "Okay, I know about this. If they really murder the court officials because of this kind of thing, I will not sit idly by."
When Shen Qing heard that he really didn't mind, the guilt in his heart really went straight to the bottom of his heart.
Xuanyuan Ling added: "I told you to take good care of your pregnancy, but you still worried about things like this. Fortunately, the imperial physician said that everything is fine with you. Otherwise, if you hurt yourself because of worrying too much, I will not forgive you."
Shen Qing looked very obedient at the moment: "Then how many people do I have under my command? Ask someone to report to the emperor later?"
Xuanyuan Ling looked at her unhappily: "I still manage the harem? It's a good thing that you have people in your hands. Use them when you need them, but don't worry too much about them."
"knew."
Xuanyuan Ling saw that she was so obedient at the moment, and curled his lips again: "You actually understand the affairs of the court."
The tone of his voice was exactly as he said. Now he really did not have any suspicions. Instead, he discovered some differences in Shen Qing and was a little surprised.
Shen Qing found an explanation: "When I was a child, Zhizhuo and I also studied together."
"But he is not as good as you." Xuanyuan Ling said.
"The emperor said last time that he did a good job." Shen Qing looked at Xuanyuan Ling as if he was a scumbag who was easily bored with the old and easily pleased with the new.
Xuanyuan Ling said: "He is not as good as you. You are a woman. You have never seen the vast mountains and rivers like him, nor have you ever taken the imperial examination. But you understand the situation in the court. He can do things, but he may not understand these things."
Shen Zhizhuo has a straightforward personality. If he really understood these things, he wouldn't be so stubborn.
On the contrary, Chen Qing now thinks that she knew to be respectful to the queen since she entered the harem. She knew that even if the queen was not favored, she still had the highest status in the harem. Moreover, she had been respectful for several years. Even when she was beaten like that by Concubine Qin, she never put on any eye drops in front of him just because she was favored. She understood the situation better than all the women in the harem.
Xuanyuan Ling thought of this and held Shen Qing's hand tightly.
This grab was actually a bit heavy.
Shen Qing felt pain and couldn't help but hiss.
Xuanyuan Ling then realized that he had grabbed too hard: "Are you okay? I was thinking about something else for a moment."
He looked at her hand and rubbed it, then looked at her again and found that she seemed to be in pain and had a delicate expression. She was also staring at his hand.
He pursed his lips, pulled her hand over and blew on it: "It's better."
Shen Qing nodded.
Xuanyuan Ling was relieved and turned around to call Zhao Hai in.
Zhao Hai thought the emperor had some instructions, but when he heard Xuanyuan Ling ask him to arrange someone to attack Shen Zhizhuo, he was shocked.
How could this happen out of the blue? Would the Qin family dare to show up again? Lady Qin was still making trouble? Wasn't this just jealousy? Wasn't it just too much? Couldn't they just live a peaceful life? Why did they have to make a fuss?
Zhao Hai sighed and went back to do his work.
Xuanyuan Ling and Shen Qing saw that they were almost done with dinner, so they had dinner together. Afterwards, they played chess for a while. Afraid that Shen Qing would not sit still all the time, they only played one game and then went to bed. Shen Qing had been sleepy since she became pregnant, so she fell asleep quickly. However, Xuanyuan Ling could not sleep. In fact, he could not see anything in the dark, but he looked in Shen Qing's direction for a long time.
