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

Chapter 842 This is just the beginning (16)
Qingchen knew that the emperor's anger was not without reason. To deal with a child and make him suffer all kinds of torture before he died is really a bit too conscienceless. Even though Xiao Jieyu's behavior is not pleasant on weekdays, this It's really too much for Qi'er.

Fuquan hurriedly said: "Yes, this servant is going to deliver the decree."

When Qing Chen saw Fu Quan go out, his face was also a little annoyed. Could it be that even a great eunuch who had stayed in the deep palace for more than 30 years and read all the thoughts and tricks of the women in the harem couldn't stand it?
People who cherish their lives under heavy pressure will definitely expose each other. Qingchen knows that this matter may come to fruition in a short time, but it is hard to say whether the person who came out to be punished really had a grudge against Xiao Jieyu, or was a scapegoat. up.

Qi'er was still sleeping on the warm kang, and the wind and rain outside were getting louder and louder. Against the silence in the room, the sound of the wind and rain seemed to be particularly raging, as if it had the momentum to destroy everything in the world.The crackling raindrops hit the window, and every sound was so clear and loud.

Gu Yunfeng lifted the curtain and came in, brought another bowl of medicine for Qi'er, Xiao Jieyu still poured it down cruelly.Seeing that it was getting late, Qingchen knew that during the banquet at noon, the emperor didn't eat much, and they were busy with Qi'er's affairs for the whole afternoon, and they didn't even have time to drink tea.

Qing Chen ordered Yun Lan to say: "Go and order Jin Xin to serve tea, and then you make some soup and let the emperor pad his stomach first. It's very windy and windy outside. I'm afraid Qi Er will stay here tonight, and dinner will also be served." Let’s start preparing, let’s make ginseng soup to give everyone some energy.”

Yun Lan said in a warm voice: "Your servant obeys the order, I will go now."

Jin Xin brought hot tea up, the emperor drank a few sips, and suddenly asked blankly, "How is the situation with the Queen Mother?"

First she glanced at Qing Chen, and then Jin Xin replied cautiously: "I heard from the person who came over there to tell you that the Queen Mother was just furious and agitated when she woke up. Liang Jieyu has been waiting there, trying to persuade her." After a long time, the queen mother calmed down and fell asleep again."

The emperor snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.

Later Yun Lan brought bird's nest soup, Qing Chen managed to persuade the emperor and Xiao Jieyu to use some.

No one in Qifeng Palace closed their eyes for the whole night, during which Qi'er was given medicine a few times, and at dawn, Qi'er finally showed signs of having a fever.

Fearing that Qi'er's condition would relapse, the emperor stopped the early court for the first time since he ascended the throne.Several people waited on them attentively until around noon, when Qi'er finally woke up after the fever subsided, Xiao Jieyu wept with joy, holding the child and crying like the rest of her life, she was speechless.

The wind and rain had passed outside, and it was still a fine autumn weather, but after an autumn rain, many flowers and plants were destroyed, and the imperial garden became more bleak, and the weather became colder and colder.

The emperor personally sent Xiao Jieyu and their mother and son back in a dragon chariot. After the emperor left, everyone in Qifeng Palace was relieved. They didn't close their eyes for a whole night, so Yun Lan persuaded: "Your Majesty, take a nap and rest first. , the servant will wake you up before dinner."

"It's okay, the emperor is also tired. I'm afraid I will go to see Qi'er tonight. I don't think I will come to our place again. I don't need to prepare too much for dinner, and I don't have much appetite."

Yun Lan helped her to lie down, and Qing Chen asked worriedly: "Have you found out about Si Zhen's room? Who is it, and why did you harm the eldest prince like this?"

Yun Lan's expression froze for a moment, her voice was very soft, and her words were full of helplessness, "It's been found out that she hanged herself in the room. The people in Si Zhen's room found a bag of heat-reducing powder under her quilt. There is no evidence of death again. The emperor issued a strict order to thoroughly investigate the origin of the medicine, but it is just a pack of medicine. If the little maid wants to get these things, she really doesn't have to ask the people in the Tai Hospital. The master has his own way, and everyone It was a few days ago that he died, so it is difficult to find out who gave the medicine. There are so many little eunuchs in the palace, and Chang Xi didn't see the face of the person who pushed the nanny and the eldest prince into the water. Looking for a needle in a haystack?"

After listening to Yun Lan's words, Qingchen was speechless for a long time. She didn't know what to say, because what Yun Lan said was right.If the little maid in Sizhen's room didn't get the medicine from the inner hospital, then this package of urging heat powder must have been given by the person who instructed her behind the scenes. The master's work is much more secretive than a little palace lady. The origin of this medicine is afraid It is difficult to check.

Seeing that she was in a daze with her eyes open, Yun Lan knew she was thinking about something, and she was afraid that she would not be able to hold on, so she persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, take a nap for a while to rest your mind, the eldest prince's affairs should be handled by the people from the House of Internal Affairs." After investigation, if the empress is too worried, she might cause trouble for the upper body. The eldest prince was able to escape this time, and the empress is also responsible for it. How many people will be unconvinced again. The emperor has sent a lot of money to Chang Xi just now. Rewards, those who have failed in this conspiracy, I am afraid that they will write us down again."

Qingchen smiled wryly and said: "Anyway, Qi'er is still a child, how can I just watch him suffer without helping him? Besides, if there is anything wrong with him, the emperor will definitely suffer, I don't want to see the emperor sad , How much he loves Qier, don't you and I see it."

Yun Lan nodded lightly, and sighed: "No matter how the emperor treats the concubines in the harem, he really loves these two princes. Maybe he received too little love when he was a child, so he didn't want his own children to die again. Have the same experience as him, after all, this is the pain that will never be erased from the human heart, and it is the regret of a lifetime."

"What you said is that you served the late emperor for many years, and you must have seen all the pains the emperor suffered before. Maybe no one will understand his regret except you."

Yun Lan shook her head helplessly, she had seen the emperor's sadness more than once in those years, but at that time she was just a court lady serving tea in front of the imperial court, so what could she do to help him?

"This servant has seen the emperor hiding in a corner more than once before, watching the late emperor passing by from a distance, but he was unwilling to go forward to pay his respects, because the late emperor had very strict requirements on the princes, and in order to protect the emperor, the late emperor's attitude towards him was also extremely strict. He is indifferent, and will be severely punished for any unsatisfactory situation. I think the emperor had very contradictory thoughts about the late emperor at that time. He had love for his parents, but he didn't want to be scolded and sad."

"So even if you are the queen's son in name, life is not easy." Qingchen knew that the queen must have hated Shen Guiren at that time. If the first emperor loved Xiao Jun more, then it would be even more difficult for him to survive in the harem .The queen will regard him as a threat to the prince, and other concubines will find it difficult to tolerate the two princes under the queen's knees being so proud.
