Chapter 452 Be Careful
Jinzhi had never expected this to happen. Could it be that the Chen family was implicated in the Qiao family case and said something? But before she could figure it out, she was taken away.
The Queen looked at Jinzhi's back as she was taken away, and looked at all the servants in Fengyi Palace being taken away by Zhao Hai. She sat on the chair she usually sat on, and for a moment she felt that Fengyi Palace was empty and deserted.
The queen had already thought of the worst outcome, and now, she was afraid that the worst outcome would come. However, the closer it got to this point, the more she couldn't panic. Even though her fingertips were trembling, she had to tell herself not to panic, she couldn't panic. She didn't know how she could save herself at this moment.
Xiao Xia Zi and the others were right outside the door. They said they were following orders, but they were just trying to prevent the Queen Mother from causing any trouble at this time. At least, before anything was found out during the interrogation, the Queen Mother could not cause any trouble.
It was already late after all this commotion. Zhao Hai looked at the huge number of servants in Fengyi Palace. Well, I was afraid that I would not be able to sleep tonight. What should I do? It was already difficult for him to report to the Chen family members in front. If these servants did not report, he would not be able to see the emperor. Zhao Hai turned around with a gloomy face and a sharp voice: "Interrogation!"
During this interrogation, Jinzhi, as the most capable person around the Queen, was naturally given special attention.
Under severe punishment, Jinzhi gritted her teeth and refused to relax.
The women in the palace have endless tricks, and the queen naturally has capable people at hand. Zhao Hai admires someone as loyal as Jinzhi. He thinks that if he gets into trouble one day and someone asks about the emperor's privacy, he will naturally not reveal a single thing. But after all, not everyone is particularly loyal.
Someone will always come out with something, and as long as someone starts talking, the matter will snowball and get bigger and bigger.
Zhao Hai was very busy with the interrogation, and it would take more than a moment to finish. Xuanyuan Ling naturally stayed in Zhaohua Palace that night. He felt sorry for Chen Qing and couldn't bear to see her in a bad mood. He was even worried that she wouldn't eat well during meals.
Shen Qing did not have a good stomach due to the change in mood, and did not eat for a few days.
It was useless for Xuanyuan Ling to pick up some food for her, she just couldn't eat it.
Later, Shen Qing did not go to bed early as before. She had been sleepy since she was pregnant. Today, she couldn't sleep because she had something on her mind. Xuanyuan Ling was worried: "I will not let the queen off for this matter. I will never let anyone have the opportunity to set up such a situation in the future. I will order these concubines in the harem to never appear in front of you again. When you go to the harem banquet, you follow me. Don't do this. It makes me feel uncomfortable."
Chen Qing looked at Xuanyuan Ling's nervous expression and asked: "Why don't you ask them to show up? Is the emperor going to disband the harem?"
Xuanyuan Ling was stunned: "Do you want me to do this?"
He actually asked about the date.
How could he ask about the date? They should have known this tacitly.
Between the two of them, this matter had never been mentioned before, let alone thought about.
Disbanding the harem is a very detrimental thing to one's moral character. It's already not a good thing for the women who entered the harem to be out of favor and trapped in the deep palace for their entire lives. Now they can be kept. At least if they behave themselves, they can live a stable second half of their lives. In the palace, if the treatment is good, there will be no problem in supporting them until they are old. They can also grow flowers and trees to kill time.
But if she was dismissed, she would be despised by the emperor. After returning home, she would either become a nun or be imprisoned until death. Free? How could a person who was favored by the emperor be allowed to show his face in public? After all, such a woman was a disgrace to the family.
You want to marry again? How is that possible? Who would dare to marry a woman that the emperor has touched? Even if there is someone who is brave enough to marry her, would he dare to marry her in the family? Those who secretly have affairs with her are afraid of bringing trouble to the family, and they might even be beaten to death. What a joke! This is an era where imperial power is supreme.
Chen Qing dared to say that today Xuanyuan Ling issued an order to disband the harem and let the concubines go home, and the concubines in the harem could hang themselves in their own palaces that day.
She never intended to commit this sin.
And another point, what is her purpose in doing this?
Over the years, Xuanyuan Ling and she have always been careful about favoring him. He himself also doesn't want people to find fault with him, so no one in the court has any objections to her being favored. If anyone mentions it, Xuanyuan Ling will scold them immediately. She didn't do anything and was a good person. He didn't delay anything because of her, so who should say something?
But if she were to disband the harem, all the civil and military officials in the court would probably spit at her to death in one day.
So rationally speaking, Shen Qing had never considered this kind of thing at all. He just confronted Xuanyuan Ling because what he said sounded a bit outrageous.
We can’t disband the harem, so how can we prevent people from seeing her in the future?
What's going on? Will people run away when they see her coming from afar? That picture might be a little beautiful.
Of course Shen Qing shook her head: "Do you think my reputation is too good?"
Xuanyuan Ling had just asked about the date, thinking that she was afraid, so she wanted him to disband the harem. He could understand: "I can issue an order to have them eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures in their own palaces in the future, saying that they are praying for the country."
Shen Qing stretched out her hand to cover his mouth: "Your Majesty, please don't make a stupid move, lest it make me look too coquettish and make Your Majesty lose his sense of proportion and do anything. When the princes and princesses grow up, I'm afraid they will think that Your Majesty imprisoned their biological mother for your sake."
Really, he was really worried, otherwise under normal circumstances, he would not have said those words even if he had the rationality.
Xuanyuan Ling pulled her hand down: "I feel sorry for you."
Chen Qing was originally scared, but after being interrupted by Xuanyuan Ling, she found it funny that he was racking his brains to comfort her just because she was upset.
Xuanyuan Ling was hugging her, but saw Chen Qing coming over to kiss him. His lips softened, and he supported her body as he watched Chen Qing holding her belly and sitting on him.
Chen Qing watched as Xuanyuan Ling came up to him and kissed him randomly again. It was really a random kiss. After all, he felt uncomfortable just now, and this kiss was meant to vent his emotions.
Xuanyuan Ling asked her to kiss him so hard that he messed up, and he had to yell, "Be careful."
He seemed a little reserved.
Shen Qing smiled and pulled his clothes off: "I am restless and can't sleep. Your Majesty, can you help me sleep well?"
