The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

Chapter 63 Return to Life
The queen seemed to see Zhao Nuoqing's thoughts, and said: "I know you are infertile, and there is nothing I can do about it, but you know the secret of this palace! Concubine Tong must hate you for sending the medicine away this time." You, but I can protect you!"

What the empress meant was that even if Zhao Nuoqing was infertile, she would never escape her control!

Zhao Nuoqing knew that the empress was afraid that she would reveal her secrets, so she deliberately made Concubine Tong hate her. In this way, Concubine Tong would definitely not let her go without the protection of the empress.

Zhao Nuoqing's heart was cold. If she didn't do this matter, she would die, but if she did...she felt uneasy!

She didn't want to die, and she couldn't die. There was her father and younger brother at home. If she died, how sad would they be?The father will also feel guilty all his life.

No, she has to think of a way!
Zhao Nuoqing looked up at the bowl of juezi soup in Qingyan's hand, and paused, "Concubine... got it!"

The queen nodded in satisfaction, looked up at Qingyan, and gave her a look, indicating to look at Zhao Nuoqing, don't let her play any tricks.

Seeing Qing Yan, she nodded calmly, and then went to Guangmo Palace with Zhao Nuoqing.

The day before the emperor came back, the queen used another method to put Tong Pin in confinement. At this time, the sound of falling and smashing could be heard in Guangmo Palace, presumably Tong Pin was venting her anger.

Zhao Nuoqing stood still, unable to walk in no matter what.

Qingyan behind her urged: "Mei Ren Zhao, go in, the empress is still waiting for her return!"

Zhao Nuoqing frowned dissatisfied, and walked in.

Behind the two of them were two young eunuchs, because they were afraid that Concubine Tong would get angry and hurt Zhao Nuoqing.

Qing Yan stood outside the door and shouted: "Madam Tong, Miss Zhao please see me!"

Tong Bin was imprisoned before Zhao Nuoqing was named a beauty, so she didn't know that Zhao Nuoqing was Zhao Meiren, so she stopped when she heard the sound of falling and smashing inside, and then came Tong Bin's angry voice.

"What Zhao Meiren! Where did Zhao Meiren come from!"

Concubine Tong walked out of the room as she said that, she was stunned for a moment when she saw Zhao Nuoqing, and then said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have become a beauty!"

Zhao Nuoqing looked at Concubine Tong, even if she was imprisoned, she would still dress very delicately. At this time, she was wearing a water blue embroidered lily dress, and her eyes were red with anger and grievance.

She never dreamed that she was looking forward to entering the palace to be favored, but she lost her footsteps with the empress. Now except for meeting the emperor when she first entered the palace, until now, she has never seen the emperor again!
"What are you here for?"

Concubine Tong's tone was very unkind, and seeing Qingyan, the palace maid standing beside the empress behind her, she was even more disgusted in her heart.

Zhao Nuoqing sighed, hiding the tension in his heart, raised his eyes and put on a triumphant look, looked at Concubine Tong, and told her the queen's exact words.

"The empress said, if you still want to gain favor, then drink this bowl of Juezi soup!"

"What? Juezi soup?"

Concubine Tong looked at the bowl of soup on the tray in Qing Yan's hand in disbelief, her eyes widened slightly, terrified.

"No...why? Why did the queen do this? I came to the palace to help her, why did she treat me like this?"

Zhao Nuoqing sneered and said: "Heh! When Concubine Tong entered the palace, did she ever know the queen? Did you really enter the palace with the intention of helping the queen? Don't think that the queen doesn't know! In fact, you are just A pawn next to the prime minister, right? If you can’t conceive an heir, I don’t know if the prime minister will care about your useless pawn? How pathetic!”

Zhao Nuoqing deliberately emphasized the words "can't conceive children" and "useless chess", and sure enough, she saw that Concubine Tong's face was extremely pale.

It seems that the prime minister doesn't love this concubine's daughter that much, probably his daughter is just a tool to seize power in her eyes!

Qingyan glanced at Zhao Nuoqing suspiciously, she didn't seem to have expected that a woman who always seemed to be submissive and aloof from the world would be able to say such harsh words at this moment.

However, what she said was true, so Qingyan only felt that Zhao Nuoqing was influenced by the power of the imperial palace. In the past, she was only in a low position and did not dare to show her head, but now she is overjoyed as soon as she is named a beauty.

Thinking of the empress who once told her not to underestimate Zhao Nuoqing, and even resorted to the means Tong Bin hated to tie her by her side in order to keep Zhao Nuoqing by her side.

This time, the Queen may have misjudged her!
He only heard Zhao Nuoqing's voice lazily say: "Concubine Tong, do you want to drink this medicine or not?"

Zhao Nuoqing looked at Tong Bin with a provocative gaze, but Tong Bin was obviously stung by such gaze, suddenly his eyes became ruthless, and he strode forward.

Zhao Nuoqing was startled, and took a few steps back abruptly. The two eunuchs behind him hurried forward to protect Zhao Nuoqing. Qing Yan was standing behind Zhao Nuoqing. Followed back, everything happened so suddenly, he staggered, and the medicine bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap" and shattered.

Naturally, the decoction in the bowl was a sacrifice to the sky.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this, even Concubine Tong, who was about to overturn the medicine bowl, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed wildly.

"Hahaha, as expected, God will help me!"

Saying that, Concubine Tong looked at Zhao Nuoqing with sharp eyes, "Go back and tell the queen! If you want me to be pregnant again, dream! My father will definitely help me! As long as my father is still the prime minister, I will go out to this place sooner or later of!"

Zhao Nuoqing's body trembled, as if she was frightened by Concubine Tong, Concubine Tong smiled triumphantly.

Zhao Nuoqing turned his head to look at Qingyan, and asked in a low voice: "Qingyan, what should I do?"

Qing Yan smashed the medicine just now, and now she was panicked and angry, and said with a little dissatisfaction in her voice: "Let's return to the queen first!"

Zhao Nuoqing nodded, looked up at Concubine Tong, and left Guangmo Palace with a frustrated look.

After leaving Guangmo Palace, the corners of Zhao Nuoqing's mouth slightly curled up, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked back at Qingyan, and saw that she lowered her head and said nothing, looking very scared.

"Qingyan! Why did you spill the medicine just now? With so many of us, it's okay to hold her down and pour her down directly? Hey, how can you explain to the empress now!"

Hearing Zhao Nuoqing's words, Qing Yan's body visibly trembled, and she suddenly knelt down in front of Zhao Nuoqing with a plop.

"I beg Meiren Zhao to save this servant! The empress hates people who make things go wrong the most! Hong'er, the good sister of the servant before, was kicked out by the queen because she failed to do what the queen ordered. Hong'er followed the queen." When she was a concubine, she often offended people, but after a while, she..."

Zhao Nuoqing said with a clear heart: Obviously, this Qingyan also offends people, but she is also afraid that she will end up like Hong'er.

However, Qingyan's appearance played into her arms, and the medicine was originally intended to be overthrown by Concubine Tong herself.

Zhao Nuo said calmly: "Qing Yan, get up quickly! We don't tell the Queen about this matter! When you go back to the command later, you just say you and me to persuade you, but the concubine Tong will not take it. Just overturn the medicine yourself!"

Qing Yan gratefully kowtowed to Zhao Nuoqing three times, then got up tremblingly, and went to report to the Queen.
