Chapter 68 Don't plot against Concubine Yu
Xuanyuan Ling rubbed her for a while and saw how aggrieved she looked. It was Concubine Yu who had caused all this trouble out of no reason.
It's not just grievance, but also hatred, right?
"I will beat to death all those who beat you." Xuanyuan Ling suddenly said, "Are you afraid?"
This question is not easy to answer.
If she says she is afraid, it sounds fake. If she says she is not afraid, she seems perverse. Concubine Yu is shouting for war and killing, which is also perverse. Just looking at Concubine Yu, you can tell that the emperor absolutely dislikes her. But doesn't he say every day that Concubine Yu is wrong?
Chen Qing looked at Xuanyuan Ling very stubbornly: "I'm not afraid. I just hate that I was innocent but suffered a catastrophe. I hate those people who helped the tyrants to do evil and were cruel. Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of me. I am grateful."
When Xuanyuan Ling asked the question, he didn't expect Shen Qing to be so tough.
Just like the time she got angry and dared to throw him in the face, he had never expected it. Now seeing her like this, his eyes were deep: "Chen Qing."
Chen Qing's heart trembled, and his face was a little confused: "I'm here."
"Don't plot against Concubine Yu."
This was so straightforward that Shen Qing was stunned for a moment.
Xuanyuan Ling stroked her cheek with one hand.
She was not stupid, on the contrary, she was actually very smart and could play tricks. Didn't she deliberately not sleep with him because he hurt her before? He knew all this, and it was precisely because of this that she dared to admit in front of him that she hated Concubine Yu. In fact, he didn't blame her.
It would be a lie to say that I didn't hate him now. How could I not hate him? Being beaten like this for no reason, anyone would hate him, and there are many dirty things in the harem.
He really felt pity for her in his heart, but this time, there was something more that he couldn't explain.
"I promise you, no matter who is in this palace in the future." Even if you don't have children in the future: "I will not neglect you."
As he spoke, he looked at her, his expression somewhat serious.
Shen Qing didn’t wake up until this moment: “Your Majesty…”
She turned away as if she was a little angry, but soon turned back carefully and looked at Xuanyuan Ling as if to assure him: "I won't."
Xuanyuan Ling curled his lips, thinking that she was so sweet. Seeing her eyes, he couldn't help himself and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
Shen Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Xuanyuan Ling's hand gently stroked her hair: "Take good care of yourself, and don't be picky about Zhong Yu Palace. Concubine Yu dare not disturb you. When you feel better, I will have someone carry you back to Zhaohua Palace."
Shen Qing nodded obediently: “I understand.”
"I'll come to see you another day." Xuanyuan Ling said and stood up.
Shen Qing watched him leave, and thought that what he had just said was magical.
Regardless of the authenticity of this statement, let's just talk about his intention. Does he really not want the harem to have more calculations and intrigues? But he can't make a promise to others and let them behave themselves, right? Concubine Yu was so favored at the beginning, did Xuanyuan Ling do this? If he really did this, Concubine Yu would definitely not be like this now.
However, ordinary concubines might be grateful for these words, but Shen Qing just laughed it off.
However, he also had a rough idea in his mind that she and Concubine Yu were enemies. It would be better if nothing happened to Concubine Yu in the short term. If something happened, he should not let Xuanyuan Ling blame her, as that would not be good.
When Xuanyuan Ling came out, Concubine Yu came to see him off again, still with the same attitude. Xuanyuan Ling didn't even glance at her and went straight out of Zhongyu Palace.
And the latter said expressionlessly: "Go to Fengyi Palace."
Today is not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month. When Zhao Hai sent the messenger to Fengyi Palace, the Queen couldn't believe it. Now that the matter of Chen Qing asking someone to give birth control pills has not been concluded, why would the Emperor come?
The queen was a little nervous, but she still asked someone to arrange dinner.
When Xuanyuan Ling came, the Queen looked very respectful.
The Queen thought Xuanyuan Ling wanted to ask about the progress of the investigation on the contraceptive pills, and she didn't know how to start the conversation.
Despite all the effort put into investigating, they still couldn't find any clues. The Queen had so many spies in the harem, and yet, not a single trace was left.
The queen herself was worried about who could be so cruel and powerful. She was not only afraid because the matter had not been investigated thoroughly, but she was also really afraid of the person behind it.
This powerful and silent method has prevented Shen Qing from having a child for so long. What if this method is used on her?
The queen felt scared at the thought.
Xuanyuan Ling had never had a comfortable meal at the Queen's place, but it didn't matter since he wasn't here to eat anyway.
"I intend to make some changes to Shen Qing's position. What does the Queen think?"
The queen was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately considered: "Mrs. Shen has suffered such a great crime for no reason this time, she should be comforted. I think it would be better to promote her to a noble lady, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
After all, the emperor is thinking about her. He used to protect her, but now that she is unable to bear children, he still wants to promote her to a higher position.
However, since there will be no children in the future, the queen is willing to give Shen Qing this face.
"Yes." Xuanyuan Ling said: "Give me another title."
The Queen was truly shocked. The Emperor had always been the one who attached the utmost importance to rules. Now Chen Qing had no children and had only been in the palace for over half a year. When she said that just now, she was just being generous, thinking that the Emperor would still be more lenient. But who would have thought that not only would he not be more lenient, but he would even grant her a title?
You know, Concubine Fang hasn't been promoted even though she was pregnant.
“This, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to draw up a title. I’m sure Mr. Shen will be happy if he knows.”
"No need, I have already thought about it." Xuanyuan Ling said, "Let's call it Xi."
