Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Jun Qianche said truthfully: "Empress, my left arm is indeed injured, but it's nothing serious. Don't worry, empress. I'm just afraid that my mother will worry, so I didn't tell my mother."
"Are you afraid that the Queen Mother will worry, or are you deliberately covering up someone? The Queen Mother has already asked the people at the Royal Hospital, and they all said that they have never treated the emperor's injuries. Even if you are afraid that the Queen Mother will be worried, you do not tell the Queen Mother about this matter, and you deliberately hide it. , but you should always ask the imperial doctor to help you apply medicine and bandage! But you didn't. Instead, you ran to the queen's palace every night, but you didn't stay in the queen's palace. This was very strange, so the queen guessed that your The injury is related to the Queen. You didn't want to expose the matter, so you deliberately kept it from the imperial doctor. You just didn't want the Queen Mother to know that the Emperor was deliberately protecting the Queen. Is the Queen Mother right?" the Queen Mother calmly analyzed.
Jun Qianche denied: "My injury has nothing to do with the Queen. I didn't ask the imperial doctor to apply medicine because I thought the injury was not serious and it was on my arm. I can apply the medicine myself. Before I came here recently, There are many things going on in the court, and I don’t want the ministers to know about my injury, lest they make a fuss and cause panic in the court, so I deliberately concealed the matter."
The Queen Mother looked displeased: "But the Ai family doesn't believe what the Emperor said. The Ai family will go to the Queen to question her." After saying this, the Queen Mother stood up and walked out.
Jun Qianche knew his mother's character. As long as it was the queen's decision, no one else could stop her, so he could only go along and hope that Mo Qiqi would not admit it.
Yang Shihan walked to Jun Qianche and joked: "Cousin, I didn't expect you to care so much about the queen. Shihan is really surprised."
Jun Qianche glared at her displeasedly, complaining about her talkativeness.
After Mo Qiqi rested on Fengzai for a while, she felt that her body and mind were relaxed. She stood up and took a walk, took a bunch of grapes and ate them leisurely. She touched her belly in a motherly way and said, "Baby! Mom, eat now." There are grapes! You should also eat more."
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" An announcement suddenly came from outside.
Mo Qiqi was so shocked that she swallowed the whole grape and it got stuck in her throat: "Uh-huh—"
Seeing this, Banxiang asked worriedly: "Empress, what's wrong with you?"
Mo Qiqi pointed to the grapes in her hand with a painful expression, and pointed the other hand at her throat: "Ah! Kaka—"
Banxiang understood what was going on and immediately patted Mo Qiqi on the back, but the action was too gentle and was useless.
Mo Qiqi told her with gestures, use force.
Banxiang nodded in understanding and said, "Your Majesty, that slave is offended." He took a deep breath and patted Mo Qiqi's back hard.
"cough!"
Banxiang exerted force suddenly, and Mo Qiqi coughed, causing the grapes to fly out of her throat.
But unfortunately, when the Queen Mother walked in, the grape flew towards the Queen Mother, right between the Queen Mother's eyebrows. Fortunately, Jun Qianche reacted quickly and reached out to catch the flying grape. Xiang Mo Qiqi.
Mo Qiqi made an innocent expression.
Jun Qianche winked at her and signaled her to salute quickly.
Mo Qiqi understood Jun Qianche's eyes this time, and immediately bowed and said, "My son, please see the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother said angrily: "Queen, you are so brave, you dare to attack the Ai family."
Mo Qiqi waved her hand and immediately explained: "Queen Mother, I'm not here. I just heard the announcement from outside that the Queen Mother is here. I was very excited and was eating grapes! I got stuck all of a sudden, so I asked Banxiang to give it to me. The photo was taken, and when the grapes came out, the Queen Mother happened to walk in, and it ended up like this. I really didn’t mean to be disrespectful to the Queen Mother."
Jun Qianche feigned displeasure and reprimanded: "Queen, you are already a mother, why are you still so frizzy? What if the grape gets stuck in your throat and cannot come out, how dangerous it is to your belly." The fetus is not good either."
Mo Qiqi nodded obediently and said, "Yes, I know I was wrong. I will pay attention when I eat grapes in the future."
The Queen Mother glared at her son and was very unhappy. He was scolding her! He clearly cares about her, but what almost hurts him is how is his mother? He really married a daughter-in-law and forgot about his mother. Now he only has the queen and the child in the queen's belly in his heart.
Jun Qianche looked at the queen and said, "Why don't you please sit down, queen mother?"
Mo Qiqi immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "The Empress is here. The Fengyang Palace is full of radiance. Mother, please sit down quickly."
The Queen Mother glared at her displeasedly and walked towards the throne.
Mo Qiqi looked at Jun Qianche and asked with gesticulation: "What's going on? Why did the Queen Mother come suddenly?" Did something happen? I should-
At this time the Queen Mother turned around and sat down.
Mo Qiqi immediately stood up dignifiedly and elegantly, with a gentle smile on her lips. But she was beating drums in her heart. Ever since she came here, the Queen Mother had not come. Even though she was pregnant, the Queen Mother had never come over to ask what kind of wind was blowing today. The Queen Mother came unexpectedly. My intuition told me that she was pregnant. Something must have happened to her.
Jun Qianche came close to her and whispered: "Don't be afraid, act according to the opportunity."
Mo Qiqi glanced at him and nodded.
When the Queen Mother saw the two of them flirting with each other, she became even more unhappy. She looked at Mo Qiqi and asked, "Queen, do you know why the Ai family came to Fengyang Palace today?"
Mo Qiqi turned her bright eyes and replied with a smile: "The Queen Mother is here to see her unborn grandson! Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely give birth to your grandson well."
It's okay for her not to mention the child, but she gets angry when she mentions it. For the sake of the child in her belly, her son is going to turn against her. How can she still have the mood to see the child in her belly? This child may not be... Whose grandson is it? She had never liked or wanted to see the child in her belly.
"The child hasn't been born yet, what do the Ai family want to see?" the Queen Mother said coldly.
Mo Qiqi continued to speculate: "Could it be that the Queen Mother is revisiting Fengyang Palace to see the place where she stayed when she was the Queen? The Queen Mother must have missed the late Emperor, so she came here to visit and recall her relationship with the Emperor. Beautiful memories of our late emperor together.”
"Presumptuous." The Queen Mother shouted angrily in displeasure and scolded: "You, a junior, can discuss the matters between the Ai family and the late emperor?"
"I didn't comment. I was envious of the relationship between the Queen Mother and the late Emperor." Mo Qiqi defended herself.
The Queen Mother said coldly: "You still dare to be stubborn?"
Mo Qiqi pouted and said, "I don't dare."
Jun Qianche spoke out: "Mother, the queen is pregnant now, please don't scare her."
The Queen Mother glared at her son displeasedly, feeling that it was too difficult to talk to the current Mo Qiqi, so she had to get straight to the point: "Does the Queen know about the injury to the Emperor's arm?"
Mo Qiqi was shocked. She didn't expect that the Queen Mother would really know about this matter. It was over, it was over. No, there can't be chaos. Didn't Jun Qianche tell himself to act according to the situation? It's time to test your acting skills. Even if you beat yourself to death, you can't admit that Jun Qianche's arm was injured to save her, otherwise the Queen Mother won't peel off her own skin.
Seeing the surprise on Mo Qiqi's face, the Queen Mother flashed a proud smile at the corner of her mouth and said, "Queen, the matter has been exposed, are you scared?"
Mo Qiqi grabbed Jun Qianche's arm and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, are you injured? When did it happen? Which arm? Who hurt it? Let me take a look quickly."
Jun Qianche was really impressed by her acting skills. Even after being questioned like this by her mother, she could still act calmly. I really don't know where she got this calmness and calmness.
Jun Qianche took her hand, looked at her and said, "Queen, don't worry, it's just a small injury, it's okay." This girl just pinched his wound, can you be more careful.
Mo Qiqi saw his expression and realized that she had accidentally touched his wound, and told him with her eyes: I'm sorry! I was too nervous.
Jun Qianche looked back at her: "Keep acting." At the critical moment, the two still had a good understanding.
After Mo Qiqi caught Jun Qianche's look, she continued to worry: "The emperor is the king of a country. There is no such thing as a small injury on the emperor. Who is so brave to hurt the emperor? If I let this concubine know, He will be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts. Your Majesty, how did you get this injury? Did you fall in love with some beauty and wanted to favor her, but she didn't want to, so the Emperor forced you to do it, so you were injured."
Jun Qianche glared at her displeased.
Mo Qiqi squeezed her tears and said, "Your Majesty, do you know that you were injured? How painful is my concubine's heart? Why didn't you tell me?"
"The Queen really doesn't know about this?" came the Queen Mother's stern voice.
Mo Qiqi looked at the Queen Mother, pretended to be sad and wiped her tears and said: "Your Majesty, I really don't know, the emperor has never told me."
"If the Ai family remembers correctly, the emperor comes to the queen's palace every night these days. Didn't the queen notice anything strange about the emperor?" the queen mother asked coldly.
Mo Qiqi blamed herself: "It's all my fault. Since I became pregnant, I only think about the child in my belly every day and ignore the emperor. Every time the emperor comes to Fengyang Palace, he always talks with me." I was talking about future children, so I was careless and ignored the emperor's body."
The Queen Mother smiled coldly and said: "The Queen is a mother for the first time, so it is understandable that she is concerned about the child in her belly. I guess the Emperor did not want the Queen to worry, so he did not say anything. This is very similar to the late Emperor. Since the Queen does not know about this matter, the Ai family also does not know about it. Don’t blame the queen." He looked at Eunuch Lin and said coldly: "Eunuch Lin, you are an old man next to the emperor. You have served the emperor since you were a child and have been with the emperor every step of the way. The emperor was injured, you should know what happened. Bar!"
Eunuch Lin immediately knelt down and blamed himself: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Emperor is injured, and I don't know about it. It's my fault. Please punish me, the Queen Mother."
"You don't know either?" The Queen Mother looked very displeased and said coldly: "You are the Emperor's personal father-in-law. How could you not know that the Emperor was injured? Just a punishment, is it enough? The Emperor was only injured this time. If it were more serious, which one of you could bear this responsibility? The emperor is very hard working on state affairs every day, and has no time to care about you, so you are lazy, right? You don't even know that the emperor is injured in such a serious matter. It's more than just dereliction of duty. If the Ai family doesn't punish you severely today, this palace man will not rebel again in the future.
Eunuch Lin, because you have served the emperor for so many years, the Ai family will leave your body intact, with a white silk ribbon, and commit suicide! "
"Mother, my son's injury has nothing to do with Eunuch Lin. Isn't it too serious for you to punish Eunuch Lin?" Jun Qianche spoke for Eunuch Lin dissatisfied.
Eunuch Lin blamed himself: "Your Majesty, it is this old slave who did not serve you well. I am willing to be punished. I only hope that I can still serve the emperor in the next life."
Jun Qianche said sternly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't put the responsibility on yourself."
The Queen Mother said ruthlessly: "How could it have nothing to do with him? As the emperor's personal father-in-law, it's okay if he didn't protect the emperor's safety. He didn't even know that the emperor was injured. What's the use of being so careless? Sorry? The family will not only execute Eunuch Lin today, but also blame the guards and imperial guards around you, and ask them how they protected the emperor's safety. The Ai family doesn't believe that they can't find out where the emperor's injuries came from."
"The Queen Mother and the son-in-law deliberately concealed their injuries and deliberately did not let them know, so they did not find out. The Queen Mother cannot blame them." Jun Qianche spoke for the people around him.
The Queen Mother said coldly: "It is their responsibility for not protecting the emperor. Unless someone comes forward and admits where this injury came from, the Ai family will go on a killing spree today. No one around you can escape responsibility." . Someone is coming! Send the guards and Yulin troops from Yujing Palace to Fengyang Palace."
Seeing this, Mo Qiqi stood up and said: "Queen Mother, there is no need to go to such trouble. I know how the emperor's injuries came from. Please let them go."
The Queen Mother glanced at her son with a surprised expression, and her eyes fell on Mo Qiqi: "Oh! Didn't the Queen just say she didn't know about the Emperor's injury?"
"I was just scared, but I couldn't bear to see so many innocent people being punished or even killed because of me."
The Queen Mother's expression was stern and she said coldly: "Then Queen, please tell me! Were the Emperor's injuries caused by you?"
Mo Qiqi was startled and immediately explained: "Queen Mother, the emperor's injury was indeed caused by the minister who saved the son, but it was definitely not the injury by the minister."
"Then how did the Emperor get injured?" the Queen Mother asked angrily.
Jun Qianche immediately said: "Mother, my son's injury is -"
"Your Majesty, please stop talking. The Ai family wants to hear what the Queen has to say." The Queen Mother scolded sternly.
Mo Qiqi looked at Jun Qianche, smiled faintly and said: "Your Majesty, please stop trying to excuse me." Although she, Mo Qiqi, is timid and afraid of death, she will not ignore the lives of others for the sake of her own life. , the Queen Mother made such a fuss today, didn’t she just want herself to tell the truth! In this case, I said to myself, the worst thing is that I will lose my head and my life. Maybe I can return to the modern age after death!
"Queen Mother, since you want to hear it, I will tell you the truth. On the night of Qixi Festival, I was curious about how the people outside the palace celebrated the Qixi Festival, so I went to ask the emperor to let me leave the palace. At first, the emperor did not agree. , worried that the son would be in danger outside the palace, but the son kept stalking him. As a result, the emperor agreed, and the son took the maid out of the palace. He thought he would come back after playing for a while, but who knew that the son was in the palace? I met the Seven Wise Kings outside, so I walked around. Later, on the way to Yuelao Temple, I encountered a carriage accident. I was almost hit by the carriage. Later, the emperor appeared in time to save my son, and the emperor took him with him. The son returned to the palace, but he was assassinated by an assassin on the road. The assassin wanted to kill the son, but the emperor saved the son when he was in danger, so the emperor's arm was injured. The emperor comes to Fengyang Palace every day these days. , just here to apply medicine.”
The Queen Mother said angrily: "Queen, you are so brave. As the master of the harem, you secretly left the palace to meet the seven kings on the Chinese Valentine's Day. Do you still have the emperor in your eyes?"
Mo Qiqi held her forehead, she was so honest, why did she tell her about her chance encounter with Yuehen! Damn it!
Jun Qianche immediately explained to Mo Qiqi: "Mother, the queen made it very clear that the queen and the seventh uncle only met by chance outside the palace."
"A chance encounter? Your Majesty, do you believe that such a coincidence can happen in the world?" the Queen Mother asked displeasedly.
Jun Qianche said firmly: "I believe it."
"You-" The Queen Mother was blocked for a moment.
Mo Qiqi was very moved when she heard this.
The Queen Mother reprimanded displeasedly: "The Queen treats you like this, and you still speak for her. Even if he met the Seven Wise Kings by chance, the Emperor was injured in order to save the Queen, but the Queen concealed the matter when she came back and refused to treat the Emperor Xuanyu's injury. She wants to kill the emperor."
"I'm not a concubine." Mo Qiqi cried out for herself.
Jun Qianche also helped Mo Qiqi explain: "Mother, it was my son who didn't let the queen tell me about my injury. I didn't want my mother to worry, and I didn't want the courtiers to discuss it."
"Mother, I really don't know what kind of drug the queen gave you to make you speak for her everywhere. In short, the queen has violated the palace rules by leaving the palace privately, and then concealed the emperor's injury. Mistakes are compounded. If the Ai family doesn't punish you today , it is difficult to convince the public, the queen must accept the punishment." The Queen Mother said sternly.
"Mother, the empress left the palace with the consent of the son. It was also the son who prevented the queen from telling the truth about the son's injury. If the mother wants to punish, then punish the son!" Jun Qianche said resolutely.
Mo Qiqi held her forehead. The Queen Mother was already very angry with this idiot Jun Qianche. That was because she cared about her son, so she wanted to punish me angrily. But I am pregnant, so I believe the Queen Mother would not use any harsh methods. According to the criminal law, the most you can do is to suspend the person for a while. As long as you don't say anything, the matter will be reduced to a minor matter. The more you speak out to help me, the angrier the Queen Mother will become, which will only make things worse. Jun Qianche, you have so many women, but why do you know so little about women
"Your Majesty, this matter was caused by the Queen. The Ai family must punish her today. The Emperor is no longer allowed to defend the Queen." The Queen Mother held back her anger and said, this is her good son. She only has Mo Qiqi in her eyes. In front of so many palaces When people contradict themselves, they disappoint themselves too much.
Jun Qianche wanted to talk again.
Mo Qiqi pulled down his sleeve quickly with quick eyes and hands, shook her head at him, then looked at the Queen Mother, and said obediently: "Your Majesty, the Emperor's injury is indeed caused by my son, and I am willing to be punished."
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "The Queen is quite well-behaved. In that case, don't blame the Ai family. How do you think the Ai family should punish you?"
Mo Qiqi said obediently: "It's up to the Queen Mother to handle it."
Yang Shihan saw this and said, "Queen Mother, Shihan has an idea."
"Oh! Then tell me." The Queen Mother glanced at Yang Shihan, and the two of them smiled slyly.
Yang Shihan looked at Mo Qiqi.
Mo Qiqi rolled his eyes at her.
Jun Qianche also glared at Yang Shihan displeased.
Yang Shihan withdrew her gaze, looked at the Queen Mother and said sweetly: "Queen Mother, since the Queen Mother has made a mistake, but now that she is pregnant, the Queen Mother cannot punish her corporally, so why not let her stay with the Queen Mother to fulfill her filial piety for a while? ?”
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "Shihan's idea is very good. The Ai family sees that the Queen has not learned the rules of the palace properly since she entered the palace. Starting tomorrow, the Queen will move to Ciyue Palace for a month. Ai Jia needs to teach you the rules of the palace."
Jun Qianche was very worried after hearing this: "Queen Mother—"
"What? Your Majesty is dissatisfied with the Ai family's actions?" The Queen Mother's face clearly showed displeasure.
Jun Qianche said truthfully: "Mother, the Queen is pregnant. I'm afraid that changing the place will not be used to it, and it will be bad for the fetus. Please take the Queen lightly for the sake of the Queen's pregnancy."
Mo Qiqi held her forehead, Jun Qianche, could you please stop adding fuel to the fire? Didn’t you see that the Queen Mother was so angry? Just obey her first and wait until her anger subsides before saying no! You'll kill me if you do this.
Before the Queen Mother was about to speak, Mo Qiqi quickly said: "Queen Mother, I am willing to follow you to study at Ciyue Palace." She was really happy to go to the Queen Mother's palace. This was a perfect opportunity for her. She has never had the chance to enter the private toilet in the Queen Mother's palace! Now, the opportunity has come, so I am very excited.
Jun Qianche looked at Mo Qiqi displeased. Doesn't she know that her mother is very unhappy with her? Why should I agree to such a request from my mother
Mo Qiqi gave him a happy smile.
The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction: "The Queen is still sensible, so let's talk about this matter. The Ai family is tired, so let's go back and rest first. Your Majesty, your injury will go to Guining Palace later, and let Shihan help you take a good look at it. "
"Yes!" Jun Qianche replied lightly.
The Queen Mother left.
Yang Shihan looked at Jun Qianche, smiled charmingly and said, "Your Majesty, I am waiting for you in the palace." She glanced at Mo Qiqi and left arrogantly.
After everyone left, Jun Qianche looked at Mo Qiqi and said angrily: "Mo Qiqi, why did you agree to the punishment from your mother? Do you think your life is too long?" Although it was a reproach, he felt deep in his heart. Worry.
Mo Qiqi glared at Jun Qianche in displeasure and complained: "Your Majesty is still talking about me! My concubine thinks that the emperor thinks that my life is too long. You know that the Queen Mother is angry, but you still add fuel to the fire, right? I hope the Queen Mother will kill my concubine in a rage so that you will be happy!"
"No conscience, I'm just speaking for you." Jun Qianche felt aggrieved because this girl always didn't recognize his good intentions.
"Your Majesty, do you know that you almost killed my concubine just now? The Queen Mother is angry because she cares about you and is worried about you, but you keep speaking for me, which will only anger the Queen Mother even more. You are her son. She won't do anything to you, so she can only vent her anger on me. If it were me, I think I would do the same." Mo Qiqi pouted in displeasure and walked to the table to sit down. Down.
Jun Qianche sat down with her in confusion, and said in disbelief: "You actually helped the queen speak for her?" Her mother had not liked her since she entered the palace, so she was also hostile to her and would often talk to her in front of her. She was not talking about the queen. Every time she said that the queen was not good, he always felt that she had no filial piety. Today really surprised him.
Mo Qiqi took a sip of water and said: "I'm not talking to the Queen Mother, but I have a child now and will become a mother in a few months, so I gradually understand some mothers' thoughts. Pregnancy in ten months is very difficult. It is even more difficult to raise a child. If the child grows up and is alienated from you for another woman, the sense of loss and sadness will really make people very depressed. Therefore, the emperor's contradictory will only anger the queen mother and make her To punish me more severely, if it were not the Emperor, perhaps the Queen Mother would just ground the concubines. Now, let’s go to the Queen Mother, alas!” He looked worried, but in his heart he was looking forward to hurrying over.
"I really didn't think so much." Jun Qianche felt that what she said made sense.
Mo Qiqi sighed: "What about you men! You are just too careless, and you are so smart that you are confused for a while."
"Cough!" Jun Qianche coughed lightly.
Mo Qiqi immediately apologized and said, "Hey, I made a mistake."
"It is true that I did not have a good grasp of what happened today, but don't worry, I will go to the Queen Mother and tell you that you will not be allowed to go to the Queen Mother's palace." Jun Qianche was worried that she would go to the Queen Mother's palace. The Queen Mother had always wanted to get rid of her. If the child in her belly were allowed to live with the queen, wouldn't it be like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth
Mo Qiqi immediately waved her hand: "No, no, no, your Majesty, please stop fussing, otherwise things will only get worse and worse." I just want to go to Ciyue Palace! Jun Qianche, please don’t ruin my good deeds.
T
