Chapter 228 Unexplainable
Concubine Shu got up and put the talisman paper and pills in the innermost part of the makeup box.

"You said it was a nightmare," Concubine Shu sat down again and asked, "was haunted by nightmares?"

"Twist the pills apart, put only a quarter of them, and it will have an effect for about an hour," Qin Luan said, "When the effect is over, people will fall into a deep sleep and sleep until dawn."

Concubine Shu nodded in satisfaction.

She was sure that the emperor would come to her, just because the emperor "slept soundly".

Once the dream is disturbed and the rest is not at ease, it will be impossible to stay at night for lunch break.

Then there is only one hit, only one chance.

When people are in a nightmare, they will indeed blurt out some sleepy words, and even wake up from the dream, sweating profusely, and keep their eyes open until dawn.

But what if the emperor just sweats and just keeps silent?
Then miss it.

If there is only one hour, it would be good to fall into a deep sleep afterwards.

As long as you wake up refreshed, even if it's not pleasant at first, it can be resolved.

It's not bad for the emperor who hasn't slept well for a long time.

"I'll try my best," Concubine Shu said, "Speaking of which, I'm not optimistic, maybe one day he will suddenly have a seizure."

Qin Luan smiled.

That's how people are, when they are restrained, they try their best, and when their temper comes up, they don't care about it.

Looking back afterwards, I can't figure out why I was so impulsive at that time, or why I was so restrained that I didn't like myself.

The emperor must be the same.

Therefore, my grandmother said, we must always be vigilant, and the situation changes in a flash.

"My aunt summoned her, which made my aunt very nervous." Qin Luan said.

"It's okay to be nervous," Concubine Shu rolled her eyes, "After all, there are only so many people in the palace, so entering the palace is not a good thing."

Qin Luan also laughed: "Besides the empress, I'm only familiar with the empress."

Speaking of the queen, Concubine Shu frowned, then relaxed again, her words were quite emotional.

"She's different from me," Concubine Shu thought about her choice of words, "out of place."

Concubine Shu chose the way to enter the palace by herself. Even if the purpose is not pure, even if she didn't know the purpose at the beginning, she has integrated into this place, and she has her own fun here.

Empress Cheng is different.

She is different from everyone.

Concubine Shu saw these things in her eyes, especially after the death of His Royal Highness, the empress became more and more "detached" in the harem.

People are still staying in the central palace, mind, the world is too big.

Qin Luan exchanged some information with Concubine Shu before getting up to leave.

The one who sent Qin Luan away was still the little maid who led the way last time.

Qin Luan followed her along the corridor to the imperial garden, and met Eunuch Xu and Zhao Qi beside Eunuch Xu.

This time, luck was not on their side. There was no fork road nearby to detour freely and naturally, and the two sides could only meet face to face.

Qin Luan bowed politely.

The little maid was also clever, and signaled Qin Luan to take two steps aside, letting Zhao Qi and the others pass.

Zhao Qi didn't move, and looked at Qin Luan coldly with a sullen face.

Just looking at his face, he was in a bad mood.

This is also inevitable.

Jin Shu'er's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and the pain in the later stages of pregnancy became more and more intense.

Back pain and swollen legs, frowning all day long, almost washed my face with tears.

Zhao Qi didn't like to deal with these things, at first he could coax him patiently, but then he became impatient.

If half a year ago, he could go to the mother's concubine's palace, or be with the cousins ​​of his grandfather's family, now that his mother's concubine is in trouble, his grandfather's family has plummeted, and it's too late to put his tail between his legs, how would he dare to go out for fun?
As for those sycophants before, it was even too late to hide.

Of course, even if they didn't hide, Zhao Qi would still be annoyed watching them.

Apart from sycophant, he knows nothing.

Therefore, in the past half a month, Zhao Qi has been very unhappy.

To make things worse today, he was called to the imperial study for no reason, and was reprimanded for no reason. What's even more inexplicable was that his father asked him to visit his mother and concubine in Lenggong, and also asked Eunuch Xu to bring some snacks to her mother and concubine.

Zhao Qi was so angry that he almost exploded in front of the imperial court.

I really hurt my mother and concubine, why didn't my father let my mother and concubine come out?

It doesn't hurt, why send those snacks?
Suppressing his temper, he withdrew from the imperial front, and along the way, Zhao Qi was sulking all the way, so angry that he wished he could kick the eunuch beside him.

This eunuch is not a good thing either!

In the past, when the concubine mother was in power, she flattered her with every word, licking her face and taking so many benefits from her concubine.

It seems that when the root was cut off, even the spine was broken.

This energy was in full swing, just when it was about to explode at one o'clock, Zhao Qi couldn't vent his anger because he didn't want to meet Qin Luan.

Qin Luan's face was so respectful and expressionless, but it was Zhao Qi's most familiar expression.

Last autumn, when they met on the street, Zhao Qi remembered very clearly that Qin Luan was like this.

Qin Luan in front of him changed his clothes, from the dusty Taoist robe to a lady's dress, but his expression was still the same, indifferent.

Good.

This thought crossed Zhao Qi's mind.

Compared with those two completely different faces half a year ago and half a year later, Qin Luan's usual face can be regarded as a breath of fresh air.

When Qingliu arrived, Zhao Qi was so moved that he didn't bother to appreciate Qin Luan's facial features carefully.

Qin Luan glanced at Zhao Qi.

Without saying a word, Zhao Qi's expression softened a little compared to when they first met.

However, those feet were still nailed, and there was no intention of leaving.

If Zhao Qi doesn't leave, Qin Luan will.

The etiquette is comprehensive, so there is no need to waste it.

Just as he was about to step up, suddenly, Mr. Xu opened his mouth and called out "Miss Qin".

Qin Luan had no choice but to pause.

Eunuch Xu asked slowly: "Old Lord Hou and his son are brave, and the Zajia admires it. Miss Qin greets the Zajia and Mrs. Hou."

Qin Luan responded, and walked away before Eunuch Xu had nothing to say again.

Eunuch Xu missed the opportunity and could only regret it.

While feeling sorry for his wrist, he thought about Zhao Qi at the same time.

Obviously, the Second Highness did not like Qin Luan very much.

At the time when he retired, the Second Highness didn't say anything to belittle Miss Qin in front of the emperor, but she said a lot with Concubine Shun, and she was as thoughtful as his Eunuch Xu, so of course he knew it all.

His Highness treats Miss Qin, that belongs to her, and just looking at it makes her feel bad.

Originally, with the anger accumulated in His Highness's heart at the moment, it's too bad that it's oil, and if it's poured on it, it won't crackle and burn like a flame?

As long as there is a dispute, the follow-up can be based on the various situations at the time of the dispute, make the best use of the situation, and play in various ways, and watch while burning.

Miss Qin fought back with a heavy blow, that was the best, she took credit for it; Miss Qin suffered a loss, the Qin family didn't want to bear it, and the officials caught Zhao Qi and scolded him, that's not bad, if you put some thought into it, it's just a matter of forming a clique, which just takes a lot of effort and time.

However, Eunuch Xu did not expect that Zhao Qi would change his mind.

He didn't even have a seizure!
why?
Zhao Qi looked at Qin Luan's back, then walked towards Lenggong.

Eunuch Xu didn't keep up, Zhao Qi didn't care, and went on his own.

But Eunuch Xu had to hurry up and catch up first.
