Chapter 288 The New Nobleman

Ye Qingling hurriedly said, "You ran over to take a peek at His Majesty and Concubine, but you didn't pay much attention to him."

Seeing Qin Yufeng's strange eyes, Ye Qingling hastily changed the subject.

"My lord, you heard what I said just now. Compared with me, you know His Majesty better. Tell me why he is like this?"

"And why?" Qin Yufeng suddenly stretched out his hand, and lightly flicked Ye Qingling's forehead, "Didn't you hear what the two of them said? Think for yourself."

Ye Qingling touched her forehead.

What is this pig's trotter doing?Why did you suddenly make such an intimate move?

But thinking carefully about the conversation between the emperor and Bai Shishi just now, Ye Qingling seemed to understand.

"He wants a prince!" Ye Qingling said, "My senior sister probably told him that she is pregnant with a man, so His Majesty left her unborn child to verify the truth!"

"If Shiyue conceives and she really gives birth to a boy, then His Majesty will personally get a prince out of the next baby."

"That's why I gave her a low rank in advance to facilitate future actions."

This was the only reason Ye Qingling could think of.

Otherwise, even if the emperor is greedy for Bai Shishi's beauty, there is no real benefit for him, and he will not be able to give her a title, and this title probably took a lot of effort to fabricate a false identity for her .

"Hmph, not too stupid." Qin Yufeng said Youyou, "Your Majesty has been on the throne for decades, but there is only a princess under his knees, not even a prince! On the one hand, he seeks medical treatment and wants to maintain a strong body. , On the other hand, I have found a lot of folk remedies, and I want to give birth to a prince."

"It can be said that as long as he can really give birth to a son, let alone Bai Shishi is pregnant with someone else's child, even if he is already a married woman, he can find a way to snatch it."

Ye Qingling pursed her lips. It seemed that the emperor's desire for a son had overwhelmed the man's dignity, and he even had a vague feeling of being insane.

"Miss Bai, can you tell me that Master Bai really has a way to guarantee that the child he gives birth to will be a son?" Qin Yufeng asked suddenly.

Ye Qingling sighed.

She said softly: "There are several evil ways to do it, but it's too hurtful. Master once researched it out of curiosity. I don't know how senior sister knows."

Qin Yufeng frowned.

He whispered: "Even if the prince obtained by such a method can reach that position in the future, if the origin is unknown, I am afraid that he will be backlashed."

"My lord, you don't have to think so long." Ye Qingling said, "Now that Bai Shishi is here, it seems that the emperor has his heart set on her, and he will definitely not be able to move her easily, but they said they will call you into the palace in a few days. , I am afraid there is some conspiracy, you must be careful."

Qin Yufeng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, Miss Bai is concerned about my success?"

"You and I have a common enemy now, so of course I want to care about you." Ye Qingling said it righteously, as if she had no selfishness at all, but in fact, her eyes were a little erratic.

Qin Yufeng naturally saw her expression, and didn't pick it up immediately.

Soon, there were footsteps outside.

Then there were three knocks on the door.

"There are people inside." Qin Yufeng was the first to speak, "Who is Dongfeng today?"

"Flowers." The voice outside was very thin, and one could tell it was the eunuch talking.

Qin Yufeng opened the door, and there was a gray-haired eunuch standing outside.

He bowed his head in obedience, handed over a few flowers in his hand, then bowed his head and said a few words, then turned and left.

Qin Yufeng gave half of the flowers to Ye Qingling, and said: "Just pretend to be dumb later, and do everything according to my winks."

"Your eyes are either cold or strange, how can I see that." Ye Qingling complained, but still obediently followed behind Qin Yufeng.

The rules in this palace are very particular.

But all court ladies and eunuchs who are in charge are not allowed to walk alone.

One is for safety, and the other is to allow them to supervise each other, so that if something happens, there will be personal care.

Now is the busy afternoon, there are court ladies and eunuchs in a hurry everywhere, some are holding bamboo baskets filled with charcoal fire, some are carrying kettles, or holding food boxes, no one has noticed this rush at all. One short and two little eunuchs delivering flowers.

Qin Yufeng followed the main route and made a circle outside the palaces of every high-ranking empress.

Ye Qingling didn't understand at first what Qin Yufeng wanted to do.

He suddenly said: "Look carefully, if there is anything wrong with each empress's palace, Your Majesty likes flowers and plants, and the concubines make this palace colorful and colorful every time I enter The palace will feel that the fragrance is too strong and uncomfortable."

"Okay." Ye Qingling's expression turned serious.

Although Qin Yufeng was not very sure, but he was careful, and he was able to bother to take Ye Qingling this trip, because the doubts in his heart must have accumulated to a certain extent.

The first is the palace of the queen empress.

It's impossible to get inside.

But after a few glances from a distance, Ye Qingling's brows frowned.

There are peonies inside and outside the palace. Presumably, it is because peony is the king of flowers, and the queen prefers this flower in order to highlight her status.

Ordinary peonies are nothing more than that, but Ye Qingling clearly saw several kinds of flowers that looked very similar to peonies, but were actually slightly poisonous flowers. The poison was colder and harmless at all.

But living surrounded by this kind of toxin for many years, the body will definitely be colder.

Ye Qingling's heart tightened, she felt that it was not easy for the emperor not to have a prince.

Looking down, it is the imperial concubine.

There are only two concubines.

One likes bamboo, and her residence is all blue, and there is nothing unusual about it, but this noble concubine is a few years older than the emperor, and she was his side concubine when he was the prince, and she has passed the childbearing age long ago.

As for the other noble concubine, inside and outside the palace are all rose flowers that look like peonies, there are all kinds of them, and the desire to replace the queen can be easily seen at a glance.

Like the queen, there are many problematic varieties of roses in her palace.

Ye Qingling felt a "thump" in her heart.

These problematic flowers, whether they are like peonies or roses, are actually extremely rare, even in the Central Plains, and now they all appear in the palace. She doesn't believe it is a coincidence.

Read all the way down.

The more she looked at Ye Qingling, the more frightened she became.

Almost every inhabited or slightly more ornate palace has been skillfully planted with plants that can cause infertility or difficulty in conceiving.

Most of these plants are yin, so even if the concubine is able to conceive because of her strong body, she will still give birth to a daughter and definitely not a son.
