Chapter 63: Crashing into the Regent's Arms



The imperial concubine's face turned cold. In fact, she had guessed it herself: "But I have always been cautious and have checked the people around me several times. Logically, others shouldn't have a chance, right?"

Ye Xingchen glanced at the servants and saw that they were not panicked at all. Instead, they all looked worried, and it didn't look like they were pretending.

"If there's something wrong with the person, then there's something wrong with the thing." Ye Xingchen stood up and looked around the imperial concubine's bedroom.

"Things, I have checked everything in my palace several times, there can't be any problems." The imperial concubine was even more puzzled.

Since she became pregnant, she has had people check her up every now and then, which is not right.

"If everything is fine, why did the imperial concubine bleed so heavily today?" Ye Xingchen asked back.

Now the imperial concubine was speechless, she couldn't understand it either.

Ye Xingchen inspected the imperial concubine's bedroom and finally his eyes fell on a white jade statue of Guanyin inside.

"My Lady, where did you get this statue of Guanyin?" Ye Xingchen asked.

The imperial concubine was shocked: "This was given to me by the Queen Mother. Is there something wrong with this Guanyin statue?"

Ye Xingchen nodded, walked over, picked up the Guanyin statue and threw it to the ground.

"No, Ye Xingchen------" It was too late for the imperial concubine to stop it. She watched helplessly as the Guanyin statue was smashed to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The imperial concubine was so angry that her face turned pale: "Ye Xingchen, you are so bold, that was given to me by the Queen Mother, how could you break it? If the Queen Mother knew about it, neither you nor I would have a good life."

Ye Xingchen ignored it, took a look at the fragments, and finally picked up a piece of green jade: "Found it, please have a look, Concubine."

The imperial concubine was shocked: "How can this piece of jade be green? This Guanyin statue is clearly white all over."

“The Guanyin statue is indeed white, but the inside is green because someone tampered with it and put something inside that can cause miscarriage.

This thing is colorless and odorless, and it won't evaporate at all on a normal day, but if it is smoked for a long time, it will activate the toxicity inside. "Ye Xingchen explained.

The imperial concubine was completely dumbfounded: "I usually burn incense to this Guanyin statue every morning and evening."

“That’s the reason.”

"The Queen Mother said that they were requested from Bao'en Temple. There are two in total, one was given to the Queen, and the other was given to me.

At that time, I was very grateful. Bao'en Temple is the national temple of Cangyue Kingdom. I have been pregnant for many years, so since I got this Guanyin statue, I would burn incense every morning and evening.

Why did the Queen Mother want to harm me? How could she treat me like this? I have never been disrespectful to the Queen Mother. "The Imperial Concubine would never believe that the person who harmed her was the vegetarian Queen Mother.

“You are carrying His Majesty’s child, a royal heir. Even if the Queen Mother doesn’t like you, she won’t harm the child in your belly. After all, this is her grandson.

But even though the Queen Mother wouldn't do it, it doesn't mean that others wouldn't do it. Maybe this white jade Guanyin had been tampered with before it was delivered to the Queen Mother." Ye Xingchen analyzed.

The Imperial Concubine's expression became even uglier. "It must be Concubine Xuan. She has been fighting with me all these years. No one in the palace wants me to be unable to have children more than she does."

"His Majesty is leaving the palace today and the imperial physician is on leave. I wanted to ask Concubine Xuan to allow me to leave the palace, but the guards stopped me and would not let me disturb them. They also said that if I forced my way in, I would be severely punished." The little maid spoke immediately.

"It was indeed her. This bitch is so vicious that she actually wanted to cause me to have a miscarriage. I will never let her go." The imperial concubine swore.

"Now that the cause has been found, Your Majesty, please handle the rest yourself. It's time for me to go back." Ye Xingchen said.

"Thank you, Ye Xingchen, today. You saved my child, so you are my benefactor. Madam, please give her my token. This token will make your life much more convenient in the palace and the imperial city." said the imperial concubine.

"Yes." Nanny handed it over immediately.

Ye Xingchen was not polite and took it: "Then I'll accept it." After saying that, he left.

Looking at Ye Xingchen's back, the nanny immediately said, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, are you really confident in Ye Xingchen? What if she gives your token to Concubine Xuan? The consequences will be disastrous."

The imperial concubine smiled calmly, "She wouldn't. If she really wanted to harm me, she wouldn't have saved me. Even if she saved me, she could have pretended not to notice the problem with the White Jade Guanyin. So everything shows that she is not Concubine Xuan's person."

"The Imperial Concubine is wise." The nanny said admiringly.

"You must immediately find an identical statue of Guanyin. Do it in secret and never let Concubine Xuan know. Also send someone to investigate where this white jade statue of Guanyin came from." The imperial concubine ordered.

"yes."

On this side, Ye Xingchen left Lanxin Palace and had not walked far when she passed a palace gate. Before she could react, she was pulled over by a strong force and fell into the arms of a stranger.

Just as Ye Xingchen was about to make a move, he heard a familiar voice: "It's me."

When Ye Xingchen looked up, he saw Cang Boyi's handsome face and was delighted: "Regent, why are you here?"

"I was passing by. Did you just go to Lanxin Palace?" Cang Boyi asked.

"Well, the imperial concubine was bleeding heavily and almost had a miscarriage. Her maid accidentally bumped into me. The emperor and the imperial physician were not here today, so I went to save her." Ye Xingchen answered truthfully.

Cang Boyi frowned slightly: "Do you know what it means for you to enter Lanxin Palace?"

"It means breaking up with Concubine Xuan and becoming her enemy from now on. Even if I don't enter Lanxin Palace, she won't let me go. She even sent someone to assassinate me a few days ago."

Cang Boyi's heart skipped a beat, and the worry in his eyes was self-evident: "She actually sent someone to assassinate you, are you injured?"

"No, I repelled the assassin's attack, and Concubine Xuan herself was stabbed by the assassin. She seems to be fine today, so it seems that her injury is not serious." Ye Xingchen explained.

"I'm glad you're not hurt." Cang Boyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Concubine Xuan has been living too comfortably. If she dares to hurt Ye Xingchen, he will never let her go.

"Regent, I'm going to take you to see a good show. Come with me." Ye Xingchen smiled playfully and pulled him away.

Cang Boyi looked at the soft little hand holding his, his heart was filled with joy, and he immediately followed.

Ye Xingchen brought Cang Boyi back to the place where the chrysanthemum viewing banquet was held, but she did not go closer. Instead, she stopped behind a rockery not far away.

From here, you can see Concubine Xuan and others clearly, but they won't notice this side.

Ye Xingchen drew a spell in the air with his fingertips and whispered something: "Go!"

Not far away, Jing Yan'er, who was chatting with the third princess, felt a needle-like pain on the top of her head. Her face suddenly became grim and she pounced towards the third princess.

"Ah!" The third princess screamed, and before she could react, Jing Yan'er slapped her twice and strangled her neck fiercely.

Everyone was terrified when they saw this scene, including Prince Mo, who had a good impression of Jing Yan'er, and his face changed.
