The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 78

It didn't take long for these imperial chefs and eunuchs to be taken out, and in a blink of an eye, only the servants of Chengqian Palace and Ersen were left in Chengqian Palace.Er Sen stood in front of Jiaorong, refusing to leave at all, until the emperor slowly stepped down from his seat, Er Sen moved his body slightly to make room for the emperor.

Ersen naturally heard what the emperor said just now, claiming to be partial to Jiaorong, so that at this moment he looked at the emperor with a weird expression.

"How is she now?" The emperor stared at Jiaorong's little face that was slowly recovering some blood color, the corners of his brows were still slightly frowned, and looked at Concubine Yi beside him, with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Jiao Rong's body temperature is not as cold as before. Doctor Sun gave her an injection and took antidote. She will recover after a while." Concubine Yi stood up, The voice responded softly.

The emperor's hands were behind his back, looking at Jiao Rong's face that was usually bitingly cold, for some reason, there was always an inexplicable feeling.This little girl's face was full of shrewdness, so much so that he couldn't help but wonder if he had been tricked by this little girl.

Seeing the emperor's lingering and meaningful eyes, Er Sen's expression became even uglier. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Are you serious about what the emperor said just now?"

Hearing this, the emperor turned his head and glanced at Er Sen, but he didn't react for a while.A few seconds later, the emperor understood what Er Sen was talking about, and immediately raised his eyebrows, "When did I ever make such a joke?"

"This...how did this happen?" After receiving the affirmative reply from the emperor, Er Sen immediately opened his eyes wide, his vicissitudes of face were filled with disbelief.He didn't know what to say for a while, stared at the emperor for a long time, then licked the corner of his lips and said: "Your Majesty, although the granddaughter of the old minister is just a court lady, this kind of thing is not child's play."

Hearing these words made the emperor feel a little uncomfortable. He looked at Ersen and asked quietly: "I have been used to her for a long time, but all the palace people who have been in the palace for more than half a year have heard of it. What do you think?" Am I child's play?"

Esen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his fingers plucked under them for a long time.Being favored by the emperor is a bit unimaginable for a person who was born in Baoyi, and this is something Ersen never imagined would happen to Jiaorong.

Most of the reason why Jiaorong can have such a strong and strong personality today is due to the education of Ersen and Jiaorong's father Wei Wu.They Wuya clan all advocate simplicity, live the most unpretentious life, and have the most outstanding personality.

Things like entering the harem to rejuvenate the family, not to mention being a jerk, even mentioning it in front of Er Sen and Wei Wu would make them sneer.What the father and son often said in front of Jiaorong was: How useless a family is, they have to rely on selling their daughters to big families for profit.

Seeing Ersen's reluctance in every possible way, even with Jiaorong's expression, the emperor didn't know whether to be speechless or helpless.But just as he was about to speak, Er Sen took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister's granddaughter Jiaorong is a woman with a strong personality. The old minister knows her well. If the emperor insists on accepting her as a concubine, she would rather commit suicide than resist the order." It will take half a step into the harem."

Regarding this, the emperor snorted coldly, and didn't take it too seriously: "I know her temper very well."

As he said that, the emperor comforted him in a soft voice: "You don't have to worry, I won't marry her regardless of her wishes. This kind of thing is about what you like and what I want. I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for her to figure it out."

Afterwards, before Ersen could speak again, the emperor glanced at Concubine Yi, and said: "Take care of her, I still have business to deal with, so I'll go back to Qianqing Palace first."

Hearing this, Concubine Yi blinked, looked at the back of the emperor leaving, although she was a little helpless, she still bowed her knees respectfully and said: "The concubine sends the emperor respectfully."

After the emperor left, Concubine Yi sat back on the wooden chair with a sigh, her thoughts were very messy, she silently looked at Er Sen, and said in a gentle voice: "Lord Er Sen, Jiaorong is under the care of my palace, you can rest assured."

Hearing this, Ersen hurriedly bowed his head to Concubine Yi: "Thank you, Concubine Yi, for your tolerance of Rong'er during this period of time, don't worry about the emperor, Jiaorong will never agree to be the emperor Concubine, it will not affect you."

Concubine Yi didn't know Jiaorong's character, she frowned slightly, and said softly: "Master Er Sen is serious, even if Jiaorong intends to be the emperor's concubine, I will not have any thoughts, as long as Jiaorong can Marry with the one you love, and I will be satisfied."

On the other side, after the emperor returned to Qianqing Palace, after a while, Liang Jiugong also dealt with the chaos in Jingyang Palace and returned to the main hall of Qianqing Palace.He stood beside the emperor and watched the emperor review the memorial. After a long time, Liang Jiugong remembered what happened today, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

After hesitating again and again, Liang Jiugong still opened his mouth and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, what happened today, I always feel a little strange."

Hearing this, the emperor's pen tip paused, and he didn't look up at Liang Jiugong, but said plainly: "I'm not stupid."

This means that anyone with a bright mind can feel that something is wrong today, and if they investigate carefully, they will find that what happened in Chengqian Palace is full of loopholes.

For example, the little eunuch who accused Wang Dawei gave the reason that Li Chang was holding a grudge against Jiaorong, so he poisoned Chengqian Palace for the second time, specifically to poison Jiaorong.But thinking about it carefully, how did Li Changzai know that Jiaorong would test the poison today?After all, Jiaorong had never had the habit of testing concubine Yi's poison before, and they all knew this.

Liang Jiugong was a little overwhelmed by the emperor's words, "Your majesty, this slave is stupid, what do you mean..."

The emperor was making corrections on the memorial, frowning all the time, without any change in expression, and said softly: "I know that she may have poisoned herself, but I don't believe that she will."

Hearing this, Liang Jiugong asked in disbelief: "Why?"

The emperor's eyes were somewhat impatient. He glanced at Liang Jiugong, put the memorial aside, and put the pen on the pen stand. His eyes were a little clouded, and his voice was cold: "It's smart to do this kind of thing once." , it would be foolish to do it twice."

"Stupid?" Liang Jiugong couldn't keep up with the emperor's brain circuit, and the expression on his face was a little dull.

The emperor picked up a book on the table, casually flipped through a few pages, and saw that the contents of the book did not look up, "If you cheated once successfully, then you will cheat a second time in the same way, or you are too arrogant. , or it is that I will turn a blind eye if I look for it, no matter which one it is, it is stupid."
