The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 12 Who is the mastermind
Qing Chen really didn't have the strength to hold on anymore, so he said with a sleepy expression: "I feel exhausted now, I just want to have a good sleep, and I will tell you about today's matter some other day."

Yun Feng knew that she was tired, so he prescribed a prescription: "Let Jin Xin wait for you to take the medicine first, and then take a good rest after taking the medicine. I will be on duty tonight. If you feel unwell, I will be there as soon as you call.

Chen'er, you had a serious illness when you were young, and your health is not good. You should pay more attention to rest. "

Qingchen nodded, but what was the reason for her frail body to be so seriously ill?

She had asked Qin Zishuo more than once in the past, but every time he kept it secret and kept it secret.

But Qingchen always felt in his heart that he knew something, and the matter might not be that simple.

Otherwise, there are so many orphans in the world, why does he treat her differently from others?

"Why are you still sick?"

Suddenly there was a voice behind her, and she was so startled that she trembled and turned around.

Only then did Qingchen realize that at some point, there were only the two of them left in the room.

Yun Feng and Jin Xin left early, she just wanted to get up and salute when Xiao Jun pushed her back.

Helpless, she had no choice but to lower her head and reply softly: "The concubine is ready, it's just that I'm a little tired after walking too much today."

"Ah."

The emperor seemingly casually agreed, "I'm here to ask you, when Xue Jieyu was thrown today, since you were here, did you notice anything?"

Qing Chen didn't raise his head, and replied submissively: "The Empress also called my concubine to ask this afternoon. The concubine was very scared at that time, but she just guarded Xue Jieyu carefully and didn't notice anything."

Xiao Jun asked, "Did you find anything suspicious?"

Qingchen shook his head, "The concubine didn't find anything."

Under the dim candlelight, the woman in front of her eyes still lowered her eyebrows and stood there with her head down, unwilling to say a word to him.

Xiao Jun was silent for a while, inadvertently saw the bland three dishes and one soup on the table, and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Qingchen lowered his head and replied: "The concubine came back late, and I haven't had time to use it yet."

Xiao Jun stood silently for a while, and seemed to have nothing else to say, so she said, "The food is getting cold, let them warm it up and serve you, I'm leaving first."

Qingchen was uncomfortable seeing him, but when he heard that he was going to leave, he knelt down and said in a hurry: "The concubine sends the emperor respectfully."

Xiao Jun stopped and looked at her indifferent face quietly, her expression was a bit complicated, and finally she sighed softly, turned and walked out.

Not long after, Jinxiu brought Xiaomei back, and Qingchen told her, "Clean up her injuries first, go to the House of Internal Affairs tomorrow, and inform the manager there, you always have to call them." Greeting."

Jinxiu said: "Yes, the servant girl will go tomorrow morning."

Qingchen said to Xiaomei again: "From now on, you will work in Yinfengxuan, you should learn more from Jinxin and Jinxiu, why don't I change your name to Jinyun from now on?"

Xiaomei hurriedly blessed her, "Thank you for your name."

Jinxiu smiled and said, "You're a clever girl."

Jin Xin brought the medicine to send her to eat, and Qing Chen told her again: "You see, arrange a room for her, and let her settle down first."

Seeing that Jin Xin led Jin Yun down, Jin Xiu asked in a low voice, "Your honor is very preoccupied this afternoon, but did you find anything suspicious?"

Qingchen leaned forward and looked outside and said in a low voice: "Xue Jieyu was indeed plotted against by someone, if the place where the wooden bars are broken is neat, it will certainly arouse suspicion.

That man was very smart. He didn't use a saw to cut off the wooden bar, but split it and reinstalled it, so the broken place was uneven, and there was no artificial trace at all.

This accident was so beautifully done that it was impossible to find out, let alone someone behind the scenes.

The emperor handed over the matter to the empress, and the result at most was to punish those eunuchs who raised their shoulders and convict them of being careless and careless in serving their master.

Either they were beaten, or they were fined to do menial work. In short, they were not afraid of losing their lives under the handling of the Queen's 'Kanren'. "

Jinxiu asked puzzledly: "At that time, Gu Chang was asking the nobleman what he saw, but the nobleman said that he didn't find anything? Does the nobleman not trust her?"

Qingchen thought for a while and said: "I always have a terrible idea that if this matter is done by Concubine Shu or Concubine Ning, or any concubine, the Empress will investigate to the end.

After all, she doesn't like Concubine Ning's separation of powers, and she doesn't like Concubine Shu being disrespectful to her.

But if she can't find out anything about this matter and instead handles it leniently, then she will be the most suspicious.

It's not that I don't trust Gu Changzai, but I can't believe her. After all, she belongs to the queen. If things go as I expected and we see the clues, do you think the queen will let me go? "

Jinxiu exclaimed in surprise: "The nobleman is right, thinking about it carefully, I feel chills in my heart."

Qingchen continued: "The empress is two years younger than the emperor, and she is in her prime now. She would not be willing to see someone give birth to a dragon heir earlier than her. After all, the eldest son of the emperor is of great significance. For several generations, except for the current emperor, no one has ever given birth to an heir. Are they all succeeded by the eldest son of the emperor?"

The expression on Jinxiu's face was a bit uneasy, and she asked cautiously: "Didn't the Emperor ask Concubine Ning and the Empress to investigate this matter together? It's not easy for the Empress to cover the sky with one hand, right?"

Qingchen was already extremely tired at this moment, and his whole body was sore, but he still held on to his spirit and said: "Concubine Ning is a smart person, her temperament has always been calm, unlike Concubine Shu who doesn't care about the consequences when she gets angry.

Even if she did find out something, she would not rashly attack the queen without conclusive evidence.

Before she is fully sure of bringing down the queen, she will not make a move easily. "

While helping her undress, Jinxiu sighed: "Then Xue Jieyu's loss will be for nothing."

Qingchen got up and walked towards the bed, Jinxiu hurriedly came over to help her and asked, "Your honor, do you think it's okay? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Qingchen said weakly: "Probably after walking too much, my whole body feels as if it's falling apart.

In fact, in the final analysis, I was just guessing, so many concubines in the palace stared at Xue Jieyu with red eyes, anyone might do that.

Forget it, it's not us anyway, so what are you worrying about, it can't help. "

Jinxiu helped her to lie down, then blew out two lamps in the room, and before putting down the curtains, she ordered: "Tonight is a slave on duty, if the nobleman is not feeling well, you must tell the slave so that someone can call Yun Feng .”

"Okay." Qingchen agreed in a daze, and soon fell asleep.

The emperor came out of Huayu Palace early in the morning, and seeing Gu Yunfeng trotting hurriedly towards Xihe Palace, he hesitated for a moment, and took his people to Xihe Palace.

Sure enough, Qingchen fell ill again, Gu Yunfeng asked: "Why did you call me at this time? Didn't you say that I will be there whenever you want?"

Jinxiu said aggrievedly: "I wanted to call you in the middle of the night last night, but the nobleman refused to let me. I have to wait until dawn. I was awake just now, why did I pass out after a while?"

"For a while?" Yun Feng said angrily, "Look at how she has been burnt, and she will die after a while."
