Queen's scheming

286 Threat
Chapter 290 Threats
Shen Qingyi held the warm water teacup in her hand, and quietly looked at a hangbai chrysanthemum inside. Following her breath, it trembled slightly, and the warm water rippled, as if there were turbulent waves hidden under the pool of water.

Dong Xiaoyuan tightly wrapped the silk handkerchief in her hand, lap after lap, as if to soothe the entanglement in her heart. Just when Shen Qingyi's patience was exhausted and Shen Qingyi raised her hand to push her away, Dong Xiaoyuan said a word , broke the tranquility of Ningsu Palace, and said: "Concubine's little day this month has been missed for half a month. Originally, concubine was born as a maid, and it is common to wash clothes with ice water in winter. Little day is always forbidden. , but it's the first time I've missed it for so long, the concubine feels...feels..."

Needless to say, no matter whether it is Shen Qingyi who is sitting on the bright yellow brocade couch, or Mi Yurou who is sipping tea in the flower room, they all understand Dong Xiaoyuan's meaning.

Shen Qingyi gently blew on the Hangbai chrysanthemum in the teacup again, because it was the first time that the Hangbai chrysanthemum was brewed, the hangbai chrysanthemum was not moved at all, Shen Qingyi suppressed the puzzlement in her heart, and said softly: "Since Dong Xiaoyuan has If I doubt it, why not invite the imperial physician to see it, but come to Ningsu Palace to see, what's the reason?"

Yuji was fanning at the side, and finally understood why Dong Xiaoyuan refused to drink that cup of scented tea just now, it was because of this.

Dong Xiaoyuan raised her head, more than a year's life as a concubine had taught her to paint her eyebrows and eyes in detail. Originally, they were only two or three shades in color, but looking at them now, she also has a bit of Xiaojiabiyu's beauty.

"My concubine is worried about the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital. I came here to ask the empress to see her. I hope she will show mercy and protect my concubine." Dong Xiaoyuan pursed her lips, her voice trembling. She didn't know if she had made the right bet, what should she say? The empress is also pregnant now, even if she gives birth to a prince, she will not pass the one in the empress' belly.

Shen Qingyi nodded lightly and didn't speak, but with a wave of her hand, Yu Ji retreated, without even half a cup of tea, and invited Baicao Xiaosheng in.Yu Lian and Baicao Xiaosheng have been living in the East Wing, but the distance is more than a hundred meters.During this half a cup of tea, Shen Qingyi didn't say a word to Dong Xiaoyuan, before it was clear whether she was pregnant or not, it was useless to say anything.

After a while, Baicao Xiaosheng said expressionlessly: "Congratulations, Xiaozhu Dong, she is nearly two months pregnant."

The joy on Dong Xiaoyuan's face spread little by little, and she finally waited until the clouds opened to see the moon, but before the smile on her face bloomed into a gorgeous flower, she withdrew the joy, feeling a little worried Kneeling and begging: "Empress, it is difficult for the heirs in the palace. I beg the empress to protect my concubine. In the future, it does not matter whether the concubine will give birth to a prince or a princess. It is also good to be a playmate for your little prince. Please also ask the empress to take pity on the poor concubines!"

Shen Qingyi frowned slightly, what she couldn't get used to the most was this kind of pettiness, each of them actually imitated Shen Qingwan's weeping and cowardly appearance back then, put down the teacup with sapphire blue honeysuckle pattern in her hand, and said softly: "Since Once you have a body, don't just kneel at every turn. Although it is summer, there is a lot of ice in Ningsu Palace. The marble floor is not as cold as green bricks. It is too cold and greasy. If you catch cold, it will not be good Already!"

When Dong Xiaoyuan heard this, she didn't dare to kneel for a long time, she got up with Yuji's hand, Baicao Xiaosheng just cupped her hand, and left, he couldn't understand the twists and turns of the palace, and he didn't bother to get involved.

Seeing Dong Xiaoyuan sat down, Shen Qingyi stroked her protruding belly and said: "I am also pregnant, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of you. Now that you are in Zili Palace, whether it is Deng Zhaoyi who is the lord, It’s still the people who serve you in front of you, they are all capable, just relax, you will definitely be able to give birth to the child safely!”

Dong Xiaoyuan's face showed embarrassment. She was specially diagnosed with a happy pulse in Shen Qingyi's palace. Could it be that this is not sincere enough?Could it be that Shen Qingyi didn't understand the meaning of her actions?If Shen Qingyi doesn't like her, or if she can't tolerate her child, then she can let Mr. Baicao say that she is not pregnant, and turn around with a bowl of miscarriage medicine. His life was completely handed over to Shen Qingyi, could it be that Shen Qingyi still couldn't trust her?

"The concubine is very convenient. The concubine can use whatever the queen's kitchen does, and saves a trip to the imperial dining room. Didn't the concubine always say that the harem should be more frugal? The concubine uses the queen's concubine. What comes out from between the fingers is enough!" Dong Xiaoyuan lowered her head, extremely humble.

Shen Qingyi was a little unbelievable, so she asked in doubt: "You can't trust Deng Zhaoyi, you want to move from Zili Palace to Ningsu Palace?"

Dong Xiaoyuan gritted her teeth and said, "There's nothing you can trust, nothing you can't believe, but Deng Zhaoyi is younger than a concubine, so naturally she doesn't know much about many things. If she encounters something taboo, Deng Zhaoyi will be dragged down and the emperor will be displeased." Not good."

Such blunt words, even Yu He who was serving Mi Yurou in the flower garden could understand, Yu He couldn't help shaking her head, who is Deng Zhaoyi, how could she do such absurd things, if Dong Xiaoyuan was pregnant , and living under her own nose, Deng Zhaoyi will keep the emperor's heir no matter what, this is nothing to be ordered.

Shen Qingyi also deeply believed it, and naturally knew that Deng Zhaoyi would not have any dirty thoughts, and it would only be worse than her own caring, and most importantly, Shen Qingyi did not really want Ningsu Palace to move in outsiders.

"Dong Xiaoyuan is worrying too much. If you are really worried, I will transfer two old nuns to take care of her. If you are pregnant and move to the palace, there are some taboos. What do you think of Dong Xiaoyuan?" She was nearly forced to death by Tang Aoxue back then, and she was the one who promoted her, but Shen Qingyi had to worry about those wolf-hearted people who didn't know how to repay her kindness.

Dong Xiaoyuan raised her head slightly, seeing that Shen Qingyi's expression was firm, she had made up her mind not to let her come to Ningsu Palace, she gritted her teeth and said: "The Empress knows about this concubine's humble background, if the sisters from other palaces know The concubine is pregnant, and the concubine is worried that she will not be able to keep the royal blood, if the emperor pursues it..."

Shen Qingyi narrowed her eyes slightly, Dong Xiaoyuan dared to threaten herself, threatened herself with the royal blood, her voice was like ice in a hot spring, clear and transparent: "Dong Xiaoyuan, you can think about it, you must move to the Ningsu Palace Wait, if someone poisons the child of this palace, you will be the first one to bear the brunt!"

Shen Qingyi's words couldn't be more clear, if Dong Xiaoyuan insists on moving to Ningsu Palace, then all food and drink will be tested by her, a pregnant woman. After all, many things are harmless to others, but not to pregnant women. is poisonous!

Dong Xiaoyuan gritted her teeth and said: "Concubine, think clearly, concubine is pregnant at this time, just to help empress empress!"

What Dong Xiaoyuan said was grand, but the imperial concubine Duanjing who was in the flower room was a little worried. This Dong Xiaoyuan must enter the Ningsu Palace because she is so desperate to beg for nothing, is it really just to protect the child in her womb?
"Is the empress really going to keep Dong Xiaoyuan?" After Dong Xiaoyuan jumped up and down happily and left, Mi Yurou hurriedly turned out from the flower room, her voice full of concern and worry.

Shen Qingyi's expression was gloomy and unclear, with a pair of bare hands wrapped around the cherry-red palace belt around her waist, she said: "She doesn't hesitate to threaten me, but she also wants to stay in Ningsu palace, why didn't I let her go?"

The imperial concubine Duanjing frowned, sat down on the other side beside Shen Qingyi, and said with some concern: "It is because she is so indifferent that the concubine is a little worried. Although she is usually a good person, but Who can say for sure, after all, her origin is there, she originally followed Concubine Tang Gui."

Shen Qingyi snorted coldly and said: "It's extremely stupid, she can't trust Deng Zhaoyi, what else can I say, she can ask for my protection at this moment, and betray Deng Zhaoyi who has been protecting her for two years, and she can turn around Ben Gong pan bit, I thought she was a good person and a responsible person, but I didn't expect to have such thoughts!"

Shen Qingyi showed anger at this moment, Yuji sent Dong Xiaoyuan out, and when she came back, she saw such a scene, and said quickly: "The empress is not angry because of the affairs of the Duke of Zhen, but because of these people Get angry, what the imperial concubine advised you just now, you can't just turn your head and forget it!"

Shen Qingyi took a deep breath, and sighed: "It's just because of Deng Zhaoyi's grievances. I thought it was a donkey's liver and lungs with good intentions. I let Dong Xiaoyuan live in the Zili Palace. How much respect did I give her? How did Deng Zhaoyi protect her? Even Ben Gong felt heart-warming, but it was just a piece of broken stone wrapped in leather, I thought it was warm, but who knew that when something happened, he would turn his face and deny anyone!"

Mi Yurou was worried at first, but when she heard Shen Qingyi's words, she smiled, this empress is really kind-hearted, she was plotted to come to her by others, and she was thinking about grievances for others, just like Deng Zhaoyi Yes, the empress is protecting her like this, if something happened to him and Qingrong, the empress would definitely not ignore it!

Thinking of this, Mi Yurou felt warm in her heart, as if she had a backbone, she took Shen Qingyi's hand, comforted her to sit down, and then said with confidence: "The empress really doesn't need to be so angry, this Dong Xiaoyuan is just taking her place and keeping herself safe." Four words, only to be favored. If the queen empress really can't understand her, she can be sent away by just finding any excuse. Although she is still pregnant with the emperor's heir, but such a lowly person is pregnant with a child. The queen mother would not be too happy, even if Dong Xiaoyuan was promoted to the position of the third-rank master, her background will not change."

Yu Ji also persuaded from the side: "Since the empress asked her to move to Ningsu Palace, let her be a food tester. She is willing to go out by herself, and the empress doesn't have to worry about her. If something happens to her , it was also a disaster for the empress, even the empress dowager and the emperor would not blame it on the empress."

What Yuji said was the truth, if Dong Xiaoyuan stayed in the Zili Palace peacefully, in case something happened to her, Deng Zhaoyi would have to bear it, but if she got to the Ningsu Palace, she would be dead, The emperor and the queen mother will not say a word, this is the path Dong Xiaoyuan chose, no wonder others, no one can blame it!
Shen Qingyi suddenly smiled and said: "Forget it, I was just worried that Concubine Tang Gui would jump around, so she happened to block me!"
