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

Chapter 743 Where did the poison come from (3)
Nanny Wei shook her head lightly, turned around, picked up a mahogany tray from the small table at the side, and walked over, leaned slightly and handed the tray in front of Qingchen, with just one glance, she couldn't help but scream and hide back .In the mahogany square plate, there was a two or three inch long, black red-headed centipede. Although it was dead, such a huge poisonous insect still made her fall back in shock.

Xiao Jieyu sneered and said: "Why is your mother afraid? When you put this thing in your purse and wear it on your body, how come you don't know how to be afraid?"

The red-headed centipede is extremely poisonous, even if an adult is accidentally bitten by it, it may be life-threatening if not treated in time, what's more, Qi'er is just a child, Qingchen couldn't bear it, and hurriedly asked: "Queen Mother, Qi'er now What's the matter, can I let my concubine go in and have a look at him? Gu Yunfeng has excellent medical skills, why don't you let him take a look first, maybe he has a way to detoxify."

"Stop pretending here, you harmed my Qier, and now that he is still alive, you want that imperial doctor to harm my child, right? Who doesn't know that Gu Yunfeng is your old acquaintance, you snake rats A nest with ulterior motives, do you think my Qier died too slowly?" Xiao Jieyu spoke aggressively, but carelessly, she gritted her teeth, and didn't even care about etiquette.

The queen mother gave her a dissatisfied look, took a purse from the edge of the kang and threw it in front of Qingchen, and asked coldly: "Do you think this is yours?"

Qingchen reluctantly picked up the purse and held it in his hand, saying: "It belongs to my concubine."

"Then what else do you have to say?" These words were obviously meant to send her off.

Qingchen hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, Qi'er is still a child, no matter what the concubine does not want him to be troubled, please ask the Queen Mother to let Gu Yunfeng take a look at Qi'er? Since no one can cure the poison on Qi'er for the time being, let Gu Yunfeng see it." It doesn't matter, what if he can really save Qi'er? Even if there is only a little hope, we can't give up, can't we?"

Seeing her eyes full of hope, the Queen Mother suddenly jumped a few times for no reason, but she still said with a cold face: "Then let Doctor Gu come and have a look, if Qi'er's poison can't be cured, Aijia Just let him be buried with Qier."

Qingchen had no intention of dragging Gu Yunfeng's life, but she couldn't do anything about it. Seeing that someone had already sent a message, Xiao Jieyu seemed to be a little confused about Qingchen's thoughts, and said angrily: "You are the good guy, and you are the bad guy. It's also you, what does Concubine Chen mean?"

On the contrary, the Empress Dowager ordered as if suspicious: "You don't have to kneel anymore, get up and talk first."

Seeing that the Queen Mother seemed to be softening her heart, Qin Wanrong took a hard look at her, and said to the Queen Mother eccentrically, "Empress Dowager, even if Concubine Chen wanted to make amends, she still wanted to murder the Eldest Prince first. She had bad intentions. See you later." The Empress Dowager wants to punish her for her crimes, so she wants to repent, isn’t it too late? Murdering the emperor’s heir is such a crime, if you don’t punish her severely, how can you set the rules of the palace as an example to others?”

The Empress Dowager looked at Qin Wanrong for a while, and was extremely dissatisfied with her eagerness for quick success and quick profit, and she didn't know how to hide her temperament. Even if she wanted to punish her, she still had to give someone a chance to defend herself. Are all the servants around you a vegetarian, Your Majesty? After returning, how could they not complain?If this is the case, she will be punished, how will he explain when the emperor comes back?

Besides, no matter how stupid people are, they can see that this centipede is obviously different from ordinary poisonous insects. I am afraid that it is only found in the hands of drug dealers in the Western Regions. , at least ask the source.

Seeing that Qingchen's complexion was not very good, the Queen Mother also knew that her birth was full of disasters. If an accident happened in her own palace, even if the emperor didn't say anything, she would definitely hate her as a mother in her heart. of.If you don't vent your anger on her, sooner or later it will be blamed on the Qin family. The Queen Mother really doesn't want to implicate herself because of the grievances between the concubines.

"Concubine Chen, the Ai family gave you a chance. Why did you say this? Is it because you are the emperor's favorite concubine that you can't tolerate the children of other concubines? The Ai family always thinks that you are not so unbearable. Such a thing happened to him, it really made Aijia feel dumbfounded."

Qingchen knew that the Empress Dowager might not really think so highly of her, saying this was just to pave the way for her next punishment, so she calmed down and replied: "The Empress Dowager, the concubine met Xiao Jieyu today by chance. It's not an appointment, even if she intends to frame her, she must be unprepared. Besides, the queen mother must have heard that the concubine had a concubine two days ago, and she has been lying in bed for so long, unable to take care of herself, so how can she have the extra energy to plot against others? Qier is a child, some things no matter how good the adults look at them, they may not be able to catch the children's eyes, if they are not what Qier likes, even if they are handed over to him, he may not be willing to reach out to pick them up. How can we be sure that Qi'er will like the purse on the concubine's body? Not to mention the concubine, even Xiao Jieyu, a mother, couldn't have expected it, otherwise, why would she not come to stop it? Since it is impossible As expected, how could that concubine wear a purse filled with poisonous insects on her body, isn't she afraid that she will be bitten?"

Xiao Jieyu was stunned, and turned to look at the Queen Mother. What Qingchen said was not unreasonable. If Qi'er didn't like the purse, even if it was given to him, he would not take it. Children are so self-willed, and no one can influence them his preferences.

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, Qing Chen's words were stating a fact, Xiao Jieyu said the same just now, the two did not meet each other, but met by chance, and the purse was a gift from Ye Hanyu, Concubine Chen obviously cherished it very much.

The queen mother tentatively asked: "Could it be that He Shuyi gave this purse to Concubine Chen with ulterior motives?"

Qingchen hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, this is absolutely impossible. After He Shuyi gave this purse to my concubine, my concubine has played with it more than once, and even took out the vanilla inside to look at it." However, there are no poisonous insects at all, otherwise, the concubine would have been bitten long ago."

Seeing that she insisted on protecting He Shuyi, she would rather be unable to get rid of the suspicion, and take the responsibility of refusing to spoil other people's good intentions. The Queen Mother frowned slightly. Although she appreciated her responsibility, she didn't think it was a good thing. I don't like concubines who have too deep personal relationships and form cliques to fight.

It's not that she has never heard of Concubine Chen's friendship with Ye Hanyu, but she never imagined that the two have such a deep friendship.Others couldn't win over Ye Hanyu, and even the empress grew up with her and they weren't close, who would have thought that she would fall in love with Concubine Chen.Compared to this ability to win people's hearts, Qin Wanrong is far behind her.

The queen mother asked calmly: "If this matter has nothing to do with He Shuyi, then you are the most suspected. What else do you have to say?"

Looking at the purse on the table, Qingchen couldn't figure out the key to it. When did something go wrong and someone put such a poisonous insect in?
