Mo Qiqi didn't know why Jun Qianche suddenly asked such a question. She smiled knowingly and said, "I believe that as long as the emperor wants to protect the people, he will not let others hurt them. ∟★八∟★八∟★ Read ∟★ books, .2▲3.o︾" But I am very self-aware. I know that the person you want to protect is not me. To say such emotional words, you just hope that I can treat the child in your belly well!
"I will never let anyone hurt you." Jun Qianche promised seriously.
Mo Qiqi nodded, quickly stood up from Jun Qianche's arms, looked at him, smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to go back and rest. I am pregnant and cannot sleep with you, Your Majesty. Go to the other sisters’ places!”
Jun Qianche looked at her and knew that she was driving him away. He felt helpless and stood up to leave.
"Your Majesty, go slowly." Mo Qiqi walked away with a full body.
Jun Qianche suddenly stopped, glanced at the snacks on the table and said, "Queen, I think the snacks sent by Concubine Chun are good, and I want to take them back to Yujing Palace to taste them."
Mo Qiqi immediately walked to the table and brought the snacks over, handing them to Jun Qianche: "Eat more if the emperor likes it."
Eunuch Lin immediately brought it over.
Jun Qianche walked away.
Mo Qiqi looked at Jun Qianche's leaving figure, with a proud smile on her lips, and murmured: "Concubine Chun, don't blame me! You asked for it."
Banxiang walked up to Mo Qiqi in confusion and said: "Your Majesty, does the Emperor really like the snacks sent by Concubine Chun? Those were given by Concubine Chun to the empress. The Emperor likes them, so just send someone to let Concubine Chun make them. , why do you want to take away what belongs to the queen? This is not to compete with the little prince in the queen’s belly for food!"
Mo Qiqi gave an unpredictable smile and said: "Silly girl, do you really think that Concubine Chun is so kind to me and makes snacks every day to please me."
Banxiang asked in confusion: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not, those snacks are filled with something extra." Mo Qiqi pointed out. Although she came from modern times and didn't know much about the intrigues in the harem, she had seen such TV and movies in modern times, so she had some understanding of what pregnant women were most taboo about.
"Added something?" Banxiang looked in disbelief: "What did you add? The snacks sent by Concubine Chun are always tasted by slaves. There is nothing wrong! And that time in the Imperial Garden, Concubine We all ate and everything is fine!"
Mo Qiqi smiled coldly and said: "She added musk to the cake. Musk has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Pregnant women smell it and can cause miscarriage. It is the most taboo for pregnant women, but it is not poison, so you can't test it with a silver needle. The concubines are not pregnant and will not have any problems if they eat it, but taking it for a long time will still have an impact on the woman's body. But if a pregnant woman eats these snacks, it will be dangerous." If Concubine Chun uses other methods to abort the baby She might not be able to detect the medicine, but she could smell the musk immediately.
In his previous life, my grandfather had angina pectoris, so he used muscone. Muskone can dilate coronary arteries and increase coronary blood flow, and has certain effects on angina pectoris. Therefore, she was relatively sensitive to the smell of musk. Although Chun Fei put musk in the pastry and used the scent of the pastry to cover up the smell of musk, and the amount used was not a lot, she still smelled it keenly.
Banxiang was worried after hearing this: "How could this happen? I remember that time in the imperial garden, the empress ate the cakes sent by Concubine Chun, and when Concubine Chun sent them this morning, the empress also ate a piece in front of Concubine Chun. . Madam, please ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look!"
Mo Qiqi smiled and said: "Banxiang, don't worry. Now that I have discovered it, how can I eat it? In fact, I didn't eat the pastry at all. I covered it with my sleeves. It looked like I had eaten it, but actually I was eating it. It’s in Jinpali and thrown away.”
After hearing this, Banxiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty is so powerful, she scared me to death. This Concubine Chun is really hateful. I thought she was kind-hearted and came to give snacks to your Majesty, but I didn't expect that she had hidden evil intentions. My Majesty, since you have seen through it , why don’t you tell the emperor?”
Mo Qiqi smiled mysteriously and said: "Do you think Jun Qianche is a fool? I deliberately gave him the pastries. I believe he can see through the tricks in the pastries. The reason why I didn't say it openly was because I wanted to see How will Jun Qianche punish Concubine Chun? Logically speaking, this child is the emperor's first child. Even if some of the concubines in the harem are jealous, for the sake of their own lives and the interests of their mother's family, they dare not harm him blatantly. This Not only does it offend the emperor, but it also offends the Mo family, no one would be so stupid. But Concubine Chun did this, I think there must be someone behind this to instigate her."
Banxiang guessed: "Your Majesty, are you suspecting that the Emperor ordered Concubine Chun to do this? Your Majesty is pregnant with the Emperor's child."
"Although this child belongs to Jun Qianche, I really don't know if he really wants to keep this child. Although he keeps saying that he wants me to give birth to this child, who knows if he is acting for me. He is secretly manipulating people! Even if there is an investigation, no one will suspect him. So I want to use this snack to see what Jun Qianche will do. If he pretends that nothing happened, I This proves that Concubine Chun did this at his instigation, and I will carefully check everything he sends in the future, and I will never trust him again."
"What if the emperor punishes Concubine Chun?" Banxiang asked curiously.
Mo Qiqi said calmly: "Then we have to look at the intensity of this punishment and then make a judgment. Okay, I'm tired and want to sleep."
"Yes!" Banxiang immediately helped Mo Qiqi to rest, but when she thought about the cakes, she still had lingering fears and was a little scared.
After Jun Qianche left Fengyang Palace, he did not go back to Yujing Palace directly, but went to Chun Nuan Palace of Concubine Chun.
Concubine Chun was surprised by Jun Qianche's arrival. She arranged her clothes and walked out of the inner room to meet him: "I see you, Your Majesty."
"Get up!" Jun Qianche's voice was as cold as ever.
But Concubine Chun was used to it, and the concubines in the harem were also used to the emperor's indifference.
After Jun Qianche sat down, Concubine Chun said happily: "Your Majesty, it's rare for you to come to my concubine. I'm so happy. Your Majesty, I've recently learned how to make snacks. I'd like to make a snack for the emperor to try!" "
"No need." Jun Qianche stopped her coldly, looked at her and said calmly: "I came over tonight and brought you a snack. Eunuch Lin, bring it in!"
"Yes!" Eunuch Lin walked in from outside, holding the snacks brought from Mo Qiqi.
Concubine Chun was shocked when she saw the snacks in Eunuch Lin's hand, but she pretended to be calm on her face.
Jun Qianche looked at her and asked, "Concubine Chun, look at this plate of snacks I brought. How does it compare with what you made?"
Eunuch Lin immediately placed the snacks in front of Concubine Chun.
Concubine Chun could naturally recognize that the dim sum was given to the queen by herself, but she did not know what the emperor meant or whether the emperor had seen through her intention, so she could only act and looked at the dim sum and said happily: "What exquisite dim sum." ! This snack must have been made by the imperial chef in the imperial dining room!"
"That's right! How would you like my concubine to taste this snack?" Jun Qianche's black eyes flashed coldly.
Concubine Chun picked it up, took a bite, nodded and said: "This snack tastes good, very delicious."
Jun Qianche narrowed his black eyes and said in a stern tone: "This is a snack you made yourself, can't you eat it?"
Concubine Chun was shocked, but still pretended to be calm and said: "This is a snack made by my concubine? How could it be in the hands of the emperor?" Could it be that the emperor had already seen what was going on in the snack's mind.
Jun Qianche said coldly: "I saw this at the queen's place. I thought this plate of snacks was good, so I asked the queen for it. The queen said you made this plate of snacks."
Concubine Chun said with a smile: "It turns out that the emperor got this plate of snacks from the Queen. I did send a plate of snacks to the Queen in the morning. Although the snacks looked familiar just now, I didn't dare to recognize them because I didn’t expect that the emperor would take snacks from the empress. If the emperor likes it, you can tell me that I can help you make another one. This one should be reserved for the empress and the little one in her belly. Prince, eat it!”
Jun Qianche stood up and walked towards her, with cold eyes, looking at the snack in Eunuch Lin's hand, and angrily took it and threw it to the ground.
"Bang!" The metal plate fell to the ground with an ear-splitting sound.
The palace people were so frightened that they fell to their knees.
Concubine Chun was so frightened that she knelt down.
Jun Qianche said coldly: "You all step back, I have something to say to Concubine Chun."
"Yes!" The people in the palace were originally happy for their master, but now they were scared out of their wits. They thought that the emperor came to Chunnuan Palace to favor his master! I didn't expect to get so angry, and I didn't know what the empress had done wrong, so I was so frightened that I quickly retreated.
Concubine Chun pretended to have an innocent and puzzled expression and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"Concubine Chun, do you still want to act in front of me? You don't know what's going on in your heart at this point?" Jun Qianche scolded him sternly. He dared to hurt his child. He was really reckless.
Concubine Chun looked confused and said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are saying?"
"I don't understand. Okay, I'll tell you. I added musk to this point. If I remember correctly, Concubine Chun's specialty is not making snacks, but mixing perfume! Then you should know the harm of musk to women. , especially for pregnant women, musk can cure miscarriage. You know that the queen is pregnant, but you add musk to her snacks. What is your intention?" Jun Qianche asked coldly.
Concubine Chun shook her head and explained: "Your Majesty, I have no concubine."
"You are still making excuses. Didn't you make this snack?" Jun Qianche has never been so angry as at this moment.
Seeing that she couldn't hide, Concubine Chun had to admit: "Yes, I made the snacks. Concubine, I was jealous that the queen was pregnant with the emperor's child, so I had evil thoughts for a moment. Your Majesty, concubine I know I was wrong, please spare me!" Concubine Chun crawled up to Jun Qianche, grabbed the corner of his clothes and begged.
Jun Qianche kicked her away angrily and said coldly: "I had an evil thought for a moment. I heard that you have been sending snacks to the queen for many days in a row. How dare you say that you just had an evil thought for a moment?"
Concubine Chun sat weakly on the ground and said with a bitter smile: "Since the emperor has seen through it, I will not hide it from the emperor. Yes, I am not a temporary evil thought, but a deliberate move, because I am really good." I hate the Queen, but I am also jealous of her.
Although we are all the emperor's women, she is pregnant with the emperor's child. Why should she be pregnant with the emperor's child? She is arrogant, jealous, and often bullies the concubines in the harem. The emperor used to be very tired of the emperor's empress, but we only have love for her. Hate, but now, the emperor is getting better and better towards the queen, and even made the queen pregnant, so I am jealous, I am not inferior to her in any way, appearance, talent, figure, I think I am not inferior to the queen, why The emperor usually didn't even look at his concubine, but he was getting better and better towards the queen. Therefore, the concubine was unwilling to give up, so she thought of killing the child in her belly, because if the child was born, the queen would only become more arrogant and more arrogant. Don't take the sisters in the harem seriously. "
"I heard that the queen has been very kind to you recently, and even taught you to dance and sing."
Concubine Chun smiled coldly: "Hahaha, that's because everyone was deceived by the queen. It was just the queen acting for others to see. She hoped that others would say she was virtuous and generous, so that she could win the emperor's heart. Sure enough, , not long after she did this, she became pregnant with the emperor's child, which is enough to show how deep the queen's scheming is. She is using us to achieve her purpose. Your Majesty, the queen is not as simple as you seem. You have to guard against her. , I am doing this for the emperor’s good.
The power of the Mohist family was already very great. Duke Zhenguo often offended the emperor in the previous dynasty. If the emperor allowed the queen to give birth to his unborn child, the Mohist family would become even more arrogant. Therefore, I did this all for the sake of the emperor! " Concubine Chun changed the subject and burst into tears.
Jun Qianche snorted coldly and said: "That's nonsense. Do you think I will believe this? If you really cared about me and the Mo family, you wouldn't dare to do this. Who instigated you to do this?"
Concubine Chun looked at Jun Qianche firmly and said, "Your Majesty, no one instructs me to do this. It is me who hates the Queen so much."
Jun Qianche smiled coldly: "Okay, Concubine Chun, you don't have to say anything, but you'd better think clearly about the crime of poisoning the queen and the prince in the queen's belly."
"Your Majesty, I know that doing this is a capital crime. Now that the Emperor has discovered it, I am willing to be punished. However, I was unable to personally remove the child from the Queen's belly. I really feel sorry for the Emperor, and I am even more worried about the future of Huachen Kingdom. ." Concubine Chun looked worried.
Jun Qianche's eagle-like eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "You think you will be fine if you fight all the crimes alone! Do you really think the person behind the scenes can protect your family?"
Concubine Chun was startled and looked at Jun Qianche.
Jun Qianche smiled coldly and said: "As long as it is the person I want to kill, no one can save it. I will give you one last chance to tell the person behind the scenes, and maybe I can save you from death."
Concubine Chun's heart was a little shaken. She did this just to protect her family from harm. If this incident involves her family, then she will be the sinner of the family. No, I have to tell the emperor that I cannot let my family be harmed. harm.
Concubine Chun raised her head and looked at Jun Qianche, with a look of remorse on her face and said: "Your Majesty, I said, I ordered you to—poof!" Before Concubine Chun could say anything, she suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Jun Qianche immediately stepped forward to help her up and check: "Concubine Chun, what's wrong with you?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am a concubine, I am a concubine—" Concubine Chun slowly closed her eyes, never having the chance to reveal the person behind the scenes.
Jun Qianche looked at Eunuch Lin and said, "Let Concubine Yang come to Chunnuan Palace quietly."
"Yes!" Eunuch Lin immediately went down.
Soon, Yang Shihan secretly came to Chunnuan Palace. When she saw Jun Qianche, she complained dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, why did you let me secretly come to Chunnuan Palace in the middle of the night? What happened?"
Jun Qianche said calmly: "Concubine Chun died of poisoning, please see what kind of poison it was!"
Yang Shihan was surprised: "He died of poisoning." He immediately walked towards Concubine Chun who was lying on the bed, and then carefully checked, and soon came to the conclusion: "Your Majesty, I have found out that the poison in Concubine Chun is called poison against the will." .”
"Poison against one's will? Is this poison very powerful?" Jun Qianche asked.
Yang Shihan sighed and said: "This kind of poison is indeed very powerful, and it is very rare. It is not easy to make this poison. Because the poison is added with poison, the reason why this poison is called the heart-breaking poison is because the person who takes this poison People, after taking poison, must swear to be loyal to someone for the rest of their lives. If they break their oath, the poison will spread."
Jun Qianche said angrily: "It's so vicious. No wonder when Concubine Chun wanted to reveal the person behind the scenes, she suddenly became poisonous, without any warning, and the poison spread very quickly."
"This is the power of this poison. Sometimes the poisoned person does not know that he has been poisoned. This poison is colorless and odorless. It can be added to tea, snacks, and meals, as long as the poisoner is present. After the person took the poison, he tricked her into making a promise to be loyal to him for the rest of his life and never betray him, and the poison began to work in her body. Once she violated it, the poison would immediately take effect," Yang Shihan explained.
Jun Qianche clenched his fists angrily and said coldly: "The people behind the scenes are doing everything they can to prevent me from finding any clues about him."
"Your Majesty, why did you come to Concubine Chun tonight? What did you ask her to say about the person behind the scenes?" Yang Shihan asked in confusion.
Jun Qianche walked out of the inner room and said coldly: "You will understand after looking at the snacks on the ground."
Yang Shihan walked to the snacks scattered on the floor, squatted down and smelled them: "These snacks are filled with musk."
"I brought these snacks from the Queen. Concubine Chun gives them to the Queen every day." Jun Qianche's tone calmed down.
Yang Shihan shook her head and smiled: "I wonder why Concubine Chun has been so nice to the Queen recently! It turns out she has ulterior motives!"
"Concubine Chun doesn't have such courage. Someone forced her to do this." Jun Qianche analyzed calmly.
"How does the emperor plan to deal with Concubine Chun? A good person died like this? You must give an explanation to the harem and Concubine Chun's family!" Yang Shihan asked.
"Eunuch Lin, let us announce tomorrow morning that Concubine Chun died suddenly of a hidden illness." Jun Qianche explained.
Eunuch Lin said respectfully: "Yes!"
"Does the Emperor think Concubine Chun's family will believe it?"
"Concubine Chun almost killed my child, why don't they believe it? I will talk to them about this matter." Jun Qianche's eyes flashed.
"It's late at night, let's go back!" Jun Qianche left.
Yang Shihan came secretly and had to leave secretly. She shook her head and felt sorry for the early death of Concubine Chun's beauty.
Early the next morning, the news of Concubine Chun's death spread in the palace, and everyone was surprised. Last night they were all envious that the emperor went to Concubine Chun's palace! Unexpectedly, Concubine Chun died early today.
There were a lot of rumors about Concubine Chun's death. Some people said that Concubine Chun offended the emperor and was sentenced to death by the emperor.
Some people say that Concubine Chun must have done something wrong. The emperor went to question her last night, but she committed suicide.
Some people also said that Concubine Chun was not in good health the past few days. The emperor must have known about it and went to visit her. Concubine Chun was so excited and happy that she was so happy.
In short, he had everything to say, but he only dared to discuss it behind his back. On the surface, he believed that Concubine Chun died of a hidden illness.
After Mo Qiqi got up in the morning, she washed herself and took some boiled water to drink. This was her habit after getting up every morning.
Just took a sip of water.
Then Banxiang came hurriedly: "Mother, it's not good, something serious has happened."
Mo Qiqi glanced at her and said casually: "What's the big deal? The emperor passed away?" He continued to drink water.
Banxiang immediately reported: "Concubine Chun is dead."
"Pfft—" Mo Qiqi spurted out the sip of water she just drank, and even sprayed it onto Ban Xiang's face.
Banxiang twitched her little mouth in aggrieved tone and cried: "Mother, the makeup that I worked so hard to put on was all messed up by you, and I have to repaint it again, wuwu—"
Mo Qiqi put down the cup and ordered: "Let's go to Concubine Chun's palace with me."
Banxiang touched her face and said, "Mother, my makeup is all ruined. I need to reapply my makeup before going."
Mo Qiqi said impatiently: "What time has it been? You are still in the mood to put on makeup. There is no need to do it. It is best for you to go like this, as if you have cried loudly. It is a kind of respect for Concubine Chun. Let's go!" No! When Banxiang got the chance, he pulled Banxiang and walked out.
Banxiang felt aggrieved, but did not dare to say anything, so she could only follow her master out of Fengyang Palace.
Arriving outside Chunnuan Palace, I heard crying from a distance.
Mo Qiqi let go of Banxiang, slowed down and walked in.
"Wow, Concubine Chun, why did you leave like this!" the palace people cried sadly.
The concubines in the harem also came to express their condolences to Concubine Chun: "Sister Concubine Chun, you left so suddenly! My sisters didn't even see you for the last time."
Mo Qiqi walked into Concubine Chun's palace. There was a coffin in the main hall with no lid on it.
Mo Qiqi stepped forward.
When the concubines saw Mo Qiqi coming, they comforted her: "Queen, you are pregnant, so don't be too sad."
"Empress, we know that you have a good relationship with Concubine Chun. Before Concubine Chun died, she made snacks for you every day! She passed away suddenly. You must be very sad, but for the sake of the child in your belly, you must express your condolences. ah!"
Mo Qiqi came to the coffin and saw the body covered with white cloth inside. She wanted to reach out and lift the white cloth to see Chun Fei.
Seeing this, Banxiang stopped her and said, "Empress, Imperial Concubine Chun has already left. It's better to let her go with peace of mind!"
All the concubines echoed: "Yes, Madam, it's better not to look at it, so as not to make you more sad." They were afraid to look at it.
Mo Qiqi withdrew her hand and said sadly: "I never expected that you would just leave like this. I am sorry for you."
The concubines comforted her: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. You have always been very kind to Concubine Chun. Concubine Chun died suddenly of a hidden illness and it had nothing to do with your Majesty."
"That's right! Your Majesty doesn't know medical skills, so you can't check the health of the sisters in the harem every day! Concubine Chun is not lucky, no wonder your Majesty."
Banxiang consoled her: "My queen, you are pregnant, so don't be too sad. Let's leave first! Here, my queen will only be even more sad."
All the concubines echoed: "Yes! Yes! The Queen should go back first! The sisters can stay here with Concubine Chun."
Mo Qiqi nodded: "Okay, sisters, please don't be too sad. My condolences."
Everyone nodded.
Mo Qiqi stepped away and walked out of Chunnuan Palace with a long sigh and murmured: "People who were fine yesterday will die today no matter what."
But Banxiang said cruelly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chun is the one to blame. Whoever asked her to harm your Majesty deserved it."
Mo Qiqi glared at Banxiang and said with a wry smile: "Banxiang, I really didn't realize that you, who are usually so tearful and soft-hearted, are now so hard-hearted. It seems that you are not as weak as you seem! "
Banxiang explained aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, this servant is complaining about you! I will feel sorry for you and be soft-hearted when it comes to your Majesty, but I will be hard-hearted and cruel to anyone who wants to harm your Majesty. I wish they would all die so that no one can harm the queen."
Mo Qiqi smiled: "You! I understand your loyalty, but Concubine Chun left so suddenly, I was really surprised. I thought Jun Qianche was just going to question her, and at most he would be grounded or demoted. If she loses her status as one of the four concubines, demotes her to a beauty or agrees to it, the worst thing she can do is to be thrown into the cold palace. I never expected that the emperor would directly kill her."
Banxiang smiled and said: "This can show that the emperor cares about the empress and the little prince in her belly!"
"But why do I feel that the emperor's doing this feels like killing someone!" He must be afraid that Concubine Chun will tell the truth and expose his true face!
"Mother, you are too worried again."
Mo Qiqi looked up at the sky and said in frustration: "Why is it so difficult to survive in the palace! Whoa, who can tell me who is the good guy and who is the bad guy!"
"Your Majesty, I think you should trust and rely on the Emperor, because you and the Emperor are husband and wife, and now you have a child. You should work together as husband and wife, so that you can face all hardships, and the Emperor will also protect your Majesty from any harm. Yes." Banxiang concluded seriously.
Mo Qiqi sighed: "But can he be my support? Although husband and wife should be of the same mind, after all, we are not ordinary couples. We are surrounded by power and the Mo family. Do I dare to rely on him? Is he really willing to work with me? Am I of the same mind?" There are too many people and things between me and Jun Qianche. In addition to the Mo family, there are also the Seven Sage Kings and the man who had an affair with me in the observation tower. These are all things between husband and wife. The gap! As for the child in my belly, I don’t know whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future, so I feel that life is really difficult, and every step I take is frightening.
Hearing what his master said, Banxiang's heart was a little shaken.
