"This... I don't know." The man knelt on the ground, sweating coldly, "Prince Ding's wife is fine. She found out that Qiao Yanxin was poisoned by Zhang, so she pulled the person out."
He Lingsheng clenched his fists: "Check! Check for me! What's going on?"
"Bye." The man lowered his head and whispered, "What about Qiao Yanxin?"
He Lingsheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "There is no need to keep those who don't listen."
"Bye, I'll do it right away." Just as the man was about to leave, He Lingsheng called him back: "Find out the matter first."
After the man left, he lost the mood to continue writing. He didn't expect that even a little girl like Qiao would dare to play the game of pretending to obey but actually disobeying. It seems that he is too kind in his daily life.
At the same time, in Lanqing Palace, Bixi walked quickly to the side of Concubine Zhao and whispered, "Your Majesty, Zhang was arrested, and Qiao Yanxin was arrested."
"What about the people from Dingguo Palace?"
Bixi shook her head: "Nothing happened. The concubine of the Shang family discovered that Zhang had poisoned the woman."
"She again!" Concubine Zhao threw the teacup fiercely on the table: "A concubine's daughter, but Prime Minister Shang really cultivated her with great care. I think she is even more capable than the legitimate daughter."
"Your Highness is right. I heard that the concubine of the Shang family not only knows a lot, but is also very good at flirting. She actually made He Jingheng dizzy."
"Haha, I didn't expect that a little concubine's daughter would be so precious." Concubine Zhao sneered, "If she were a legitimate daughter, I might really consider making her the Crown Prince's principal wife. Not only would she be very capable, but she would also be able to fulfill the Crown Prince's wish."
But fate plays tricks on us.
Concubine Zhao rubbed her forehead, and her head began to ache again: "Where's the prince? Didn't you find anything?"
"Your Highness didn't notice our actions. He thought Qiao Yanxin had acted on her own and replaced the Jade Butterfly Powder with Heartbreak Grass. He is angry now!"
"Sheng'er is not experienced enough after all. As the crown prince, he actually gave such a thing to Qiao. He doesn't even know what strength he has. He doesn't know what he is doing." Concubine Zhao sighed, "Zhang is too useless. He can't even do a trivial thing like poisoning, and he was caught by someone. He is a useless idiot. However, after this incident, I will let him know what it means to be a mantis stalking a cicada while the oriole is behind."
"Your Majesty said so." Bixi stood aside, thinking for a long time, and finally spoke: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing I need you to know."
"explain."
"This is what I heard from the servants of the Eastern Palace. I don't know whether it's true or not." She whispered, "Your Highness gave them the Jade Butterfly Powder in order to frame the concubine of the Shang family for poisoning and let Zhao Junyi sentence her to death. He then could replace her in prison, bring her back from the place of exile, and raise her outside the palace, and find an opportunity to make her a concubine in the future." Bixi's voice became smaller and smaller because she saw that Concubine Zhao's face was getting gloomier.
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Zhao picked up the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
Bixi knelt on the ground hurriedly: "Your Majesty, calm down. I only heard it, don't take it seriously."
"Don't take it seriously?" Concubine Zhao said angrily, "If he hadn't ordered it personally, how could such rumors spread? You can find out, but there's no guarantee that other people will know it." She looked at Bixi and said in a deep voice, "Investigate where this news leaked from, leave no trace."
"Kill, Your Majesty." After Bixi turned and left, Concubine Zhao said in a deep voice: "Kill Zhang and Qiao." As soon as she finished speaking, a dark figure in the dark nodded and left.
"Shang's concubine, Shang Ruoyi." Concubine Zhao looked fierce and said, "I've let you escape this time, but next time, I will never let you go."
Shang Ruoyi suddenly sneezed, rubbed her nose, and pouted, probably because her scumbag father was scolding her again.
"Sister-in-law, the weather is cold, please wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold."
"Nothing." Shang Ruoyi looked at Cong Fangzhi and suddenly pulled her hand over to feel her pulse. After a moment, she smiled and said, "You are pregnant."
"What?" Cong Fangzhi was stunned: "I..."
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Bai, you heard it right, you are going to be a mother."
"Really?" She touched her flat belly and said in disbelief, "I'm going to be a mother?"
He Jingxi happened to pass by. Hearing this, he quickly walked to Cong Fangzhi and said, "Sister-in-law, are you serious?"
Shang Ruoyi looked at him speechlessly: "If this child inherits your intelligence, I don't think he will be able to become the top scorer in the high school entrance examination."
He Jingxi scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
The news quickly spread throughout the He family.
The old princess smiled from ear to ear after hearing the news: "Great! Our He family is finally going to have a new baby." She turned her gaze to He Jingheng and Shang Ruoyi and urged: "And you two, hurry up! Your brother already has a successor, and you are still not making any progress." Don't think she can't see that these two people didn't consummate their marriage at all.
Shang Ruoyi just smiled and said nothing, and He Jingheng did not say anything either.
“Oh, how great it would be if we could still be as prosperous as before? Now that this child is born, I don’t know how much suffering we will have to endure.” Lin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She was very sad. When she finished speaking, the smiles on everyone’s faces faded a lot.
Shang Ruoyi comforted her when she saw this: "Aunt, our house will be completed soon. It will be very comfortable to live in. Your dear grandson will be fine. Don't worry."
Hearing this, Lin nodded. The current situation was beyond her expectations. She had meat for every meal and a spacious and bright house. Although it was not as luxurious as the royal palace, it was already out of reach for an exile.
Qin said with some envy: "Sister-in-law, don't cry. I envy you so much for your good fortune!"
It was just getting dark when a shadow quietly came to Shang Ruoyi's room. He put his ear to the door and listened for a while, but there was no sound from inside.
Just then, Shang Ruoyi's voice came from behind.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Qin's steps were in a panic and she almost fell down. Fortunately, He Jingheng, who had a sharp eye, quickly supported her and said, "Mom, why are you here when it's dark and you're not sleeping?"
"What are you talking about!" Qin's voice was not only embarrassed, but also slightly angry: "Did you make Ruoyi angry again?"
"What?" He Jingheng didn't react for a moment.
"You, don't make Ruoyi angry!"
He Jingheng shook his head: "No."
"No?" Qin pointed at his nose and said, "If not, why didn't Ruoyi want to consummate the marriage with you?"
"Cough cough cough..." Shang Ruoyi almost choked to death on her own saliva.
Can this be said so blatantly? Don't you say that many people are reserved? Even noble families are very careful with their words, so how come her mother-in-law speaks so harshly?
