Work overtime

Chapter 649 I have a showdown
Xie Guiren was so frightened that he cried, and then complained that his menstrual period was seven or eight days later than usual, and that there seemed to be something unknown. Whether or not the tire slipped prematurely due to taking Lilac has long been traced and has become a mystery.

She burst into tears and complained that the concubine Xi had been asking the three of them to eat together for some reason.

The concubine Xi looked confused and shouted with tears in her eyes: "It's not me, I didn't harm anyone. Your Majesty, someone wants to harm me. I just have a hot weather and a loss of appetite. I don't want to be extravagant and wasteful, and we can share it together." Ice bucket, that’s why I proposed that the three of us have a meal together. Who knew this would happen?”

Xie Guiren cried and said: "I think it's not menstruation but my child is gone. Why am I so stupid."

Xi Bin's eyes widened and she asked in fear: "Sister Xie, are you doubting me? But it really wasn't me who did it!"

The pain in her heart kept going round and round, and the pot was covering her head again, and she couldn't shake it off.

The first person that came to her mind was her arch-rival Meng Zhaoyi, but her words were unfounded and there was no evidence. It would be a false accusation to say so.

"Otherwise, how can we explain it? There are no traces of being harmed by Lilac in my sister's body," Xie Guiren cried, looking at the emperor sadly, "I beg the emperor to make the decision for my concubine and sister Xiao."

Concubine Xi's face was filled with tears, and she shook her head in grievance, "Your Majesty, it wasn't me. It really wasn't me."

Li Beichen looked at Xi Bin carefully, feeling strange in his heart.

Targeting Xi concubine again and again. Is it the work of one person, or is someone using his strength to confuse the public.

Xiao Cairen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, perhaps it was really not Sister Xi who did this. How could anyone harm others and involve him so blatantly? Maybe someone wanted to kill two birds with one stone and frame Sister Xi."

Xi Concubine did not expect that Xiao Cairen would speak for her. She was so stunned that she didn't know what to say, "Thank you, sister Xiao."

Liang Xiaobao listened for a long time and then said tentatively, "Ladies, would you like to think about which dishes Xi concubine didn't eat on weekdays? Only Xie Guiren and Xiao Cairen ate them."

The concubines rushed to say: "Your Majesty, I will eat every dish of the food passed down by my concubines. Really, they can all testify."

Xie Guiren thought for a while and looked at Xiao Cairen: "I remember that Empress Xi really ate every dish. On the contrary, I am a picky eater and can only eat a few bites."

Neither she nor Xiao Cairen had a bad appetite. Xi concubine likes to eat fried food. They both took just a few bites before not wanting to eat anymore. Just sit with me and watch the concubine eat with gusto.

Xiao Cairen nodded, "Sister Xie and I really don't eat much."

Suddenly, the concubine's maid Putao knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The whole audience was stunned. Was this the maid under his command who was trying to expose the master's secrets?

Li Beichen said solemnly: "You say it."

Putao knelt on the ground and said in fear: "I think of it, there is only one thing that the queen has never used, but both Xie Guiren and Xiao Cairen have used it. It is mung bean soup. The queen has never liked to drink mung bean soup because it has a beany smell. ." Xie Guiren and Xiao Cairen both drank."

Concubine Xi said urgently: "Please give me a clear warning from your Majesty. The weather has been hot recently, so I asked the imperial kitchen to make some iced mung bean soup and distribute it to the palaces to cool down. Who would have thought that someone would be bold enough to poison it."

Li Beichen stared at Xi concubine for a long time without saying anything. The concubine Xi was in charge of palace affairs, and her brain would have to be kicked by the donkeys of the production team before she would do such stupid things. There is a high probability that there is someone else.

"Xu Fang. Arrange for people to surround Jingyang Palace. Then go and arrest Dao Yan. Since the mung bean soup is made by the imperial kitchen, order the palace chief's people to investigate the case and interrogate. Then summon all the concubines to Jingyang Palace and let them know. Medical consultation."

After giving the order, Li Beichen rushed to Yonghe Palace without stopping, eager to know the prediction on Jiang Yuebai's note, fearing that some ominous words would scare her.

Fortunately, Jiang Yuebai was almost isolated from the outside world, and the two Imperial Physicians Jiang came for consultation every day, otherwise he would even suspect that Jiang Yuebai had been infected by something dirty like Lilac Drops.

"Everyone, stand down."

Li Beichen's face was serious and cold, and his tone was extremely impatient.

Li Chun and Liang Xiaobao were highly sensitive, and instantly sensed that the situation was not good, and immediately retreated with the others.

Li Beichen was wondering whether Dao Yan had deliberately written an empty note to instigate Concubine Jianing's relationship with him, or whether Jianing had already seen the hidden content of the note and deliberately replaced the original note, deliberately hiding it from him!
This was as important to him as the content of the note itself.

According to Xiao's speculation, the hidden part was a prediction about the fetus in the belly. What it was, he couldn't let him know.

Jiang Yuebai realized that his identity as a time traveler might have been completely exposed, so he took out the original note from under his pillow.

"This is the original note. I thought the words above were too ridiculous, and I was afraid that the emperor would be angry, so..."

Her voice became lower and lower.

After Li Beichen saw the words on the note, he trembled with anger, "You are pregnant with quintuplets! Jiaojiao, did you take any medicine? Do you know how dangerous it is to have quintuplets!"

Jiang Yuebai was stunned for a moment. Has his identity as a time traveler finally been revealed?
But she suddenly didn't have the courage to be honest with Li Beichen. Just like the nuclear missile button, once pressed there is no turning back.

If you never admit it, then the other party's suspicion will always be just suspicion.

Jiang Yuebai curled her lips and pretended to be disgusted with the little piece of paper, "They actually said that I was pregnant with five children! I didn't believe it. This prediction was too ridiculous. So I hid it after reading it. . The emperor feels it, does it look like there are five babies?"

As he said that, he put Li Beichen's hand on his lower abdomen and touched it around.

This time it was Li Beichen's turn to make a big fuss.

Does she really not know how many are in her belly?
Li Beichen was worried about Jiang Yuebai's safety and couldn't help asking in a reproachful tone, "You really don't know?"

Isn’t this writing a book at the cost of one’s own life?
Jiang Yuebai lowered his head, seeming aggrieved, "Dr. Xiao Jiang gave me the concubine's ancestral decoction to help with pregnancy. I remember at that time, Dr. Xiao Jiang said it was the emperor's order. He also told me that she might be pregnant with multiple cells. If the emperor doesn’t believe it, he can call Dr. Jiang to ask.”

Li Beichen remembered that after the Queen Mother fed Jiang Yue Baixizi Decoction that day, he did ask Jiang Xian to check her pulse and drink some fertility drugs.

It seems that Jiang Yuebai does not want to expose his identity as a time traveler.

Then he had to take the initiative, "Jiaojiao, yesterday Monk Daoyan said that you are not from this world and come from another world. Tell me, is this true?"

Li Beichen stood up and sat face to face with her. He took out a box of Durex from his pocket and placed it in front of Jiang Yuebai.

"I went and asked. Your father said he had never seen this thing before. After looking around, there was no place selling this thing. Jiaojiao, are you really from another world? Is this something you brought from another world?"

There was fatigue in his skeptical tone.

Jiang Yuebai raised his head and looked at Li Beichen in surprise.

It's so straightforward.

Regardless of whether they are male or female authors, they always like to describe the appearance of the characters in their articles as being like gods.

At this time, I looked at Li Beichen under the candle. He was really good-looking and had a good skin. The child born should be very good-looking.

After all, the other person is unnecessarily beautiful, and so is she.

Li Beichen frowned and looked at her, trying to read some true feelings from the other person's eyes. In the past few days, he had not been acting according to the script.

But it seemed that there was no answer. There was only confusion and entanglement. He thought he had the answer.

I felt pain in my heart, and my head also hurt. There seemed to be something pulling inside.

He subconsciously held his forehead and moved his thin lips slightly: "Who are you? What is the purpose of coming to this world?"

Jiang Yuebai: "???"

Can this be asked? I don't know the answer either. I just walked through it in a daze.

Jiang Yuebai shook his head: "I don't know."

For a moment she wanted to be a ghost. For example, the Buddha sent her here.

But to think that this could be a world in a book. I haven’t read the book myself, but what if the other person has read it? Is the other party the real prophet?
She asked the system this question.

The system says they are the World Wide Internet, with countless worlds of Ganges sand.

One grain of sand is one world, one leaf is one Bodhi.

The world has hundreds of millions of dimensions, and there is no problem in treating the world in the book as reality or treating reality as a book. The essence is the same.

She had considered a confessional like today. But I didn't expect that the emperor would start so straightforwardly. I thought I was going to test it out for a few rounds.

Seeing that Li Beichen remained silent, Jiang Yuebai added again, "I really don't know."

Li Beichen suddenly asked: "Then do you know how to go back? Back to your original world?"

Jiang Yuebai shook his head and asked tentatively, "The emperor didn't seem to be afraid at all when he heard that I came from another world. Does it mean that the emperor knows about other worlds?"

This is a question that can be advanced or retreated.

Li Beichen did Tai Chi, "I was surprised when Dao Yan said you came from another world. I recalled your words and deeds after entering the palace. It does seem like you come from another world. For example, you can heal a broken bone in one day." Wound ointment shouldn’t exist in this world.”

Jiang Yuebai was completely stunned.

This involves another question, how to explain that you have a system.

She was not very sure at the moment whether the other party was also from time travel, because she carefully recalled the emperor's every move, and couldn't find anything unusual except that he was too calm.

But the Emperor's family originally believed in metaphysics and was deeply scheming. Being calm in times of trouble may just be professional quality.

She froze in place, carefully considering the strangeness of today's conversation, and couldn't help but probe, "Your Majesty?"

Li Beichen came back to his senses, looked at her and asked expectantly, "Huh?"

Come on, tell me the next plot, or tell me you have a life-extending medicine.

Jiang Yuebai asked hesitantly: "Has your Majesty ever read a palace-fighting novel in which the heroine is Jiang Yuebai?"

Li Beichen was stunned, ah, she actually came here through a book. After recalling the content of the introduction, I found that at this stage, there is zero useful information.

He was silent for a long time, "What's the name of the novel you read, and what story it tells."

Jiang Yuebai thought for a while, since she had a promotion system for palace fights and it happened in the harem, based on her own experience, the name should probably be——

After hesitating for a while, he made it up based on speculation, "It seems to be called "Harem Promotion Expert"? I don't remember."

Li Beichen suppressed his excitement and pretended to be calm, "So you have read this novel, then you know the ending of the novel? How does it end?"

Jiang Yuebai shook his head pretending to be regretful: "I just glanced at it and flipped through it casually."

I can only fool around with it, and if I try to make up the details, I won’t be able to make it up anymore. After all, I haven't seen it at all.

Li Beichen: "There are records in ancient books about entering the world in the painting and the book. If you enter the painting, it is called the fairy in the painting. So, if you have not even opened the book and read it, how could you suddenly come to This world?"

He carefully avoided using words that were too modern and would reveal his identity as a time traveler.

More than ten years of harem career have made him accustomed to being cautious and keeping secrets only to himself.

Jiang Yuebai shook his head, "I don't know either. Maybe there is some mission. Maybe it was just an accident."

He smiled brightly at Li Beichen, "Or are you here to save the world?"

Li Beichen stared at Jiang Yuebai with burning eyes, stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Yuebai's hand, and put it in his heart, "No, you are here to save me."

He wasn't sure whether he was acting or speaking from the bottom of his heart.

This time it was Jiang Yuebai's turn to blush, "Why isn't the emperor surprised at all? He seems too calm."

Li Beichen said: "Buddhist scriptures talk about three generations of marriage. From the day of the palace examination, I fell in love with you at first sight. Maybe we have known each other for a long time. You came to this world to find me, maybe you came here because of me."

Jiang Yuebai was stunned.

This is probably the setting of a brain-dead novel. Are you the heroine or supporting character of a brain-dead novel?
The atmosphere reached this point, and Li Beichen expressed his demands:
"Jiaojiao, thank you for coming to me from another world. Monk Daoyan said, if you hadn't come to this world, I might have died soon.

You remember, on the night of the Queen Mother's funeral, I was poisoned by cold. Liang Xiaobao treated me, and you also gave me antidote pills.

But Monk Daoyan said that the cold poison still remained in the body and was getting worse. You come from another world. Do you have any solution? Do you still have the elixir for the Queen Mother? "

Li Beichen looked at Jiang Yuebai eagerly and repeated, "Can you help me?"

The Queen Mother's wailing that night echoed in my mind, and the scene at that time was played like a high-definition video with 3D stereo surround sound.

Jiang Yuebai was frightened when she heard this, and couldn't help but tremble. She looked Li Beichen up and down: "Does the Emperor feel anything abnormal?"

Li Beichen: "Not yet. Dao Yan said that the disease is on the skin at this time, still on the surface, so it is not obvious."

Jiang Yuebai comforted: "Then there is still time."

Li Beichen: "Dao Yan said it could happen at any time, and there is no cure for this poison in this world. Maybe someone with superpowers like you can find a solution."

Jiang Yuebai always felt that this monk Daoyan was very strange.

"The emperor can think on the bright side. Dao Yan may be a spy sent by the enemy to make the emperor panic and make irrational decisions. Does the emperor want to listen to a story that really happened?"

Li Beichen guessed what story Jiang Yuebai was going to tell and nodded calmly, "I'd like to hear the details."
