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

Chapter 707
Qingchen hurriedly said: "Returning to the empress, the concubine walked at the back and didn't pay attention, didn't see anything, and was almost bumped into by someone in a panic. If the empress wants to find witnesses, she can ask those who are waiting on the sidelines." The court ladies and eunuchs, see if anyone has seen them clearly?"

Concubine Li also replied: "The concubine was far away from Lin Guiyi at that time. When she heard the movement, she saw Xiao Jieyu fall to the ground, which scared the eldest prince to tears. Lin Guiyi fell into the water immediately, and then there was a little girl. The eunuch went on a rampage, hurting Yun Lan, and bumping into Chen Qie, the scene was extremely chaotic at that time, Chen Qie didn't see anything before."

There is no clue about the jewelry. Small items like earrings, if the gold chain hanging the pearls are too thick, it will look cumbersome.It is precisely because the chain is thin and the pair of pearls are larger and heavier than ordinary pearls that the chain broke.

This seems to be the most reasonable explanation, the empress thought for a while with a cold face, got up and said: "I will go in and see Lin Guiyi first, you all should wait here."

This is to deliberately torture others with nowhere to vent your anger.The queen didn't cry out, and Sang Guirong and Xiao Jieyu knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move around.

Qingchen curled the corners of her lips coldly, thinking of such a thing, the queen's first thought was not how to appease Lin Guiyi, but she kept interrogating the concubine involved in the incident, maybe she only valued the child in Lin Guiyi's womb, that's all. As for Lin Guiyi's health and mood at the moment, the queen didn't care at all.

The crying in the room gradually died down. Lin Guiyi seemed to have calmed down a little bit now, and the empress was trying her best to comfort her. Even if she had great sadness, she must know how to restrain herself.

Concubine Li came over with a sneer and lowered her voice, "Concubine Chen has always been smarter than me, why don't you call me and tell me your opinion?"

Qingchen glanced at her indifferently, knowing that Concubine Li had bad intentions, how could she say such a thing?Are you saying behind your back that the queen shouldn't reward this pair of earrings, or is it that Sang Guirong is doing things secretly with ulterior motives?What good would it do her to say such a thing?
The corner of her mouth raised slightly, and she said in a cold voice: "If even Concubine Li can't figure out this game, I'm stupid, and I can't understand it even more. But I hope it's an accident, otherwise everyone will be in danger in the future , Concubine Li should understand what I mean, right?"

Lin Guiyi's child is gone, can the queen still accommodate their child?With no children in the middle palace, the most fearful thing is that concubines with children will threaten their status.It's okay if they are willing to obey, like Concubine Li and Qingchen, they are all qualified to fight against the queen in the future, who will truly be loyal to her?

Heirs have always been the Queen's biggest concern.

Concubine Li's complexion changed slightly, how could she not understand what she meant, "Then what are you going to do? You know, you and I are people that the queen mother and queen don't want to see now, I just want to keep my child, you must think so too , not as good as us..."

"Then let's each seek blessings for ourselves." No matter how unfavorable the situation is, Qingchen does not want to cooperate with someone like Concubine Li, because no one will put a poisonous snake that can bite at any time in the Behind, that is the most dangerous.

Concubine Li gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you so confident that you can escape the schemes of the queen mother and queen? Someone in this palace can find out some news from the queen mother. At the critical moment, they can at least give you a warning so that you can escape safely." , and you just need to ask Mrs. Gu to protect me when I give birth. Anyway, no matter how we fight next, we must at least protect our child first."

For Concubine Li, Qingchen has long since lost half a ounce of trust. Although what she said is very much in line with her wishes, if she can put herself to death, it will be great if she doesn't make trouble. If you want her to lend a helping hand, it is simply a joke .

She turned her face away indifferently, "I don't cooperate with untrustworthy people."

Concubine Li sneered and said: "Then let's pretend that I haven't said anything. Maybe Concubine Chen can really rely on the emperor's favor to live her whole life. You must know that the Queen Mother has already issued a decree, and the autumn election is in early September. If Concubine Chen is still as popular as she is now after having brought in so many fresh faces, then this Palace will have nothing to say."

The empress came out from the inner room, Qingchen hurriedly asked the emperor: "I don't know how Lin Guiyi is doing?"

Xiao Jun said with a calm face: "I have already fallen asleep. I have arranged for the imperial doctor to take good care of her during this time. The most important thing is to take good care of her body first."

Qingchen didn't say anything more, Lin Guiyi was afraid that it would take a long time to get over the pain of losing a child, because it was not only a heartache, but also a lifetime of regret.

Seeing that Sang Guirong and Xiao Jieyu were still kneeling on the ground, Xiao Jun ordered annoyedly: "Get up and talk, Lin Guiyi's child is gone, I don't want anything to happen to Sang Guirong." Then she glanced at the table Looking at the damaged earring, he asked thoughtfully, "When Sang Guirong came to the Queen's Palace this morning, what kind of earring did he wear?"

Sang Guirong hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, what the concubine is wearing this morning is a pair of gilt and emerald winter jasmine earrings."

The very common ear pendant is just a pendant made into a flower shape, and then emeralds are decorated in the stamens. Even if such a thing falls on the ground and is accidentally stepped on, it will never be as easy as stepping on a pearl. people slide.

Qingchen can roughly guess why Xiao Jun asked such a question, because if Sang Guirong wore that kind of earrings at the beginning, it proves that she didn't mean it, at least she didn't plan to use the jewelry on her body to harm others.If she thought that way temporarily, it was because the empress happened to reward her with such a pair of earrings.

Not to mention whether Sang Guirong really had such intentions, just because the empress rewarded her pair of pendants and what happened to her, I was a little confused at first.

The queen was afraid that he might misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained: "Sang Guirong came to greet the concubine earlier today, and the concubine was dressing up. Seeing that the clothes she was wearing and the pair of pendants with pearls complemented each other perfectly, I rewarded her Who would have thought that such a calamity would have happened because of her lack of thoughtfulness, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"The queen rewarded Sang Guirong with good intentions. How could I blame you? I have asked about this. Sang Guirong is about to become a mother. I believe she will not intentionally harm anyone. Xiao Jieyu Hugging the eldest prince, bumping into Lin Guiyi is purely out of mother's instinct to protect Qi'er, this is just an accident, I wonder if the queen agrees with me?"

From this point of view, the emperor didn't want to punish anyone for this. If the empress had no other intentions in rewarding Sang Guirong with the pair of earrings, how could the empress accuse Sang Guirong of her fault?It's not her fault that the jewelry is not strong.
