Chapter 345: Each Has Their Own Plans
The queen glanced at Jinzhi and asked, "What do you mean?"
"After what happened to the Qin family, the emperor must be on guard against them. Now that Concubine Qin is plotting to murder Concubine Xi, the emperor must be furious. It's hard to say. He won't investigate it carefully. Concubine Qin won't be able to defend herself for a hundred days."
The queen was tempted, but said, "If we want to frame someone, it will probably cause too much trouble."
The best way to bring down Concubine Qin at this moment is naturally to frame Concubine Qin for murdering Concubine Xi. Based on the emperor's current favor for Concubine Xi, the queen feels that this step has a great chance of success.
But if she really wants to bring down Concubine Qin, it might not be enough to frame her. She also has to take real action and ask the Emperor to investigate carefully. Only after the truth is revealed can the case be confirmed. Otherwise, it would be a frame-up. Once it is discovered that there is some entanglement with her, wouldn't that mean she is attacking Concubine Xi?
It will be over then.
She is now afraid of the worst. The less things this person has, the more afraid she is. She has fallen to the point where she only wants to keep her position as queen, and she doesn't even care about who will become the crown prince in the future. If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Qin wanted to support Chu Linglong, which made her feel a sense of crisis, she wouldn't want to move.
Even at this point, she still didn't dare to move.
Jinzhi felt distressed when she saw the queen, but she thought about it and said, "There's no need to implicate Concubine Qin. Just do this..."
Jinzhi whispered something into the queen's ear.
The Queen raised her eyebrows and said, "Your idea is very good. Go ahead and do it, but be careful."
"I understand. Don't worry, Queen. This time, I will make sure that Concubine Qin doesn't get in your way."
Even if the Qin family wants to support another prince in the future, without Concubine Qin in the palace, there will be one less eyesore. The queen watched Jinzhi go out, she looked out the window and thought, she had been fighting with Concubine Qin for all these years, this time, it can finally come to an end.
Concubine Qin didn't know what the Queen was doing. When she saw the letter from Master Qin, she was so angry that she threw all the tea in her hand at Little Lizi.
Little Li immediately knelt down: "Please forgive me, Madam."
Concubine Qin was angry, but she didn't expect the emperor to be so defensive. No, not to mention being so defensive, the emperor was actually so close to the Shen father and son. Just because of an assassination, he followed the clues and set his sights on the Qin family.
As a result, not only did her plan fail, but it also backfired.
If she dared to do anything again, she would be doomed, but the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. Why was Shen Qing's life so good?
The emperor is wary of the aristocratic families, but he is not on guard because she is from a humble family. Now he is willing to promote her father and brothers to higher positions?
At first, she was looked down upon because of her humble family background, but who would have thought that this would become an advantage that allowed the emperor to dote on her without any scruples?
Concubine Qin became more and more annoyed. She couldn't get rid of her anger for another day. If she took action again now, no matter what she did, whether she succeeded or not, her family would definitely be implicated.
At that time, she didn't know that Zhong Yugong, a eunuch who originally followed Xiao Lizi, had secretly received something.
When the Queen was in power, she naturally had all kinds of spies under her command. Concubine Qin was still Concubine Yu at the time, and the Queen was very wary of her. Taking advantage of the time she had put people in Zhong Yu Palace, she had to put a few people in there just in case of emergency.
But this person had always been excluded. But what a coincidence, this person and Little Leo were always in the same boat, and Little Leo was now in charge, so he was promoted.
The Queen had spies there to naturally control other people's families. She had been doing this for many years, and on the surface, they were naturally Concubine Qin's people.
At the same time, Concubine Zhou was waiting for Caiping to come back. When Caiping came back today, she looked over as usual.
Caiping's expression was a little timid: "My dear."
"What day is it?" Concubine Zhou's tone seemed no different from before.
Caiping felt her heart sink: "It's the ninth day."
Concubine Zhou said calmly: "Is there any movement?"
Cai Ping pursed her lips, her heart beating fast: "I think it's because the dosage is small, so it hasn't happened yet."
A few days ago, when Concubine Zhou's mind changed, she gave Caiping several tonics under the pretext of giving them as gifts. Caiping didn't recognize the others, but she recognized one of them, saffron. In the past, saffron was very beneficial to women's health. It was one of the things the emperor gave to Concubine Zhou after she had a miscarriage. But for pregnant women, it is a taboo, especially since there were several other types that Caiping couldn't name. Although she couldn't name them, but Concubine Zhou said that she would secretly add them to Concubine Yi's pregnancy-preserving medicine, so even if she was a fool, she knew what Concubine Zhou was going to do.
She was frightened and tried to persuade him carefully, but Concubine Zhou had obviously made up her mind. She was a servant and they would rise and fall together. But since her master had given the order, she dared not disobey. So she took these things and went to find Xiao Dengzi, who was on good terms with her.
This was already the ninth day. Every time she went out or came back, Concubine Zhou stared at her. Caiping became more and more afraid. She didn't dare to look Concubine Zhou in the eye.
So many days have passed since Chu's father passed away. Even if Chu Linglong was in a bad mood, the saddest few days had passed and her mood had improved a little. However, she had a miscarriage at that time, and the imperial physician was afraid that she would have a premature birth, so he always told her to walk less and take pregnancy-maintaining medicine. After all, she is more than eight months pregnant now, and it would be dangerous if something happened again.
Shen Qing was worried about the Shen family's affairs before, but later Xuanyuan Ling did everything he should do, and she felt relieved. She ate and slept well in the past two days and was in good spirits. She has not vomited so far, but now her belly is more than four months old, and it really can't be hidden anymore.
Compared to the slight bulge at three months, the belly at more than four months is already somewhat obvious, but Shen Qing still feels that it doesn't feel real.
Just before dinner, Chunhua came to report in a hurry: "The person in charge of the imperial kitchen said that the Empress's soup seemed to have been tampered with today."
Shen Qing raised an eyebrow: "Qinpin's people?"
Chunhua's face was filled with indignation: "That's right, I was watching him carefully before, and now he's under guard, and I've left the soup there so no one can touch it."
Shen Qing felt that this matter was a bit strange. The Qin family asked Xuanyuan Ling to watch them now. Concubine Qin ignored her family and attacked her? But things have come to this: "Please ask the emperor to come over."
Chunhua immediately sent someone to go. When they arrived at the door of the imperial study, Zhao Hai saw Chunhua's anxious expression and his heart skipped a beat. He didn't ask what happened, but heard Chunhua say, "Please inform the eunuch that our queen has poisoned the food."
Zhao Hai’s eyes almost popped out of his head, and his legs were trembling: “What happened?”
Chunhua said, "It's okay."
Zhao Hai was so angry that day. He glared at Chunhua. What nonsense did the little girl say? It was so scary. He thought something happened to Concubine Xi. Bah, bah, bah, what are you thinking? How could Concubine Xi be in trouble?
