Chapter 293: Guar Jia Wen Yuan 22
At night, Yinzhen thought about what he had said to Wen Yuan yesterday, and recalled that Concubine Qi said to Su Peisheng, "Go to Changchun Palace, and don't ask anyone to report it first."
When the time came and Concubine Qi continued to do those useless things, he would just go over and say a few simple words.
Cuiguo in the palace looked at Concubine Qi vomiting again with some concern, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you really willing to sacrifice your own life for this matter?"
Who would have thought that Concubine Qi, who could bully others in Jingren Palace during the day, would now be vomiting in her own palace.
She wiped the corners of her lips slightly and waited until the discomfort in her body subsided before getting up.
"You have been with me in Chuxiu Palace these days. You have seen that the servants in Chuxiu Palace are all staring at us. How can I have the opportunity to put the things next to my prince?"
If there really was a way, I wouldn't put myself in danger.
Even so, Cuiguo still couldn't help but worry.
"My queen, please don't let anything happen to you. The Third Prince still needs your care as his mother."
Concubine Qi took a deep breath. She trusted Yixiu very much and said, "Don't worry. The Queen said that this medicine will not kill me. It's just that children are weak and adults will at most feel nauseous, vomit, and be in a trance. It will be fine after a while."
"And... Concubine Qi was not feeling well today, so it seems that this medicine has taken effect."
After all, I am in this situation, Concubine Qi is with me all day, and the child often talks to me, so I believe it will be effective.
Su Peisheng looked at Yinzhen with trepidation and almost knelt down.
I never expected that the emperor would tell people not to report it. I heard such words as soon as I approached.
He exclaimed in his heart that Concubine Qi was courting death. The Emperor looked furious now!
Sure enough, the next moment Yinzhen called Su Peisheng and Xiao Xiazi in, and Concubine Qi screamed.
"what!"
Frightened by the sudden appearance of Su Peisheng and Xiao Xiazi, Concubine Qi's heart was pounding like a drum and she was extremely panicked.
Did the emperor listen to what they just said?
Su Peisheng shouted expressionlessly: "The Emperor has arrived."
Yinzhen walked in with a gloomy face, and Concubine Qi knelt down anxiously: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."
"May you be blessed with good health? How can I wish you good health when I have someone like you?"
Concubine Qi forced a smile, looking at Yinzhen who seemed to still have a little hope: "What is the emperor talking about? I...I don't understand."
Looking at her timid appearance, Yinzhen simply couldn't understand why she would do such a thing!
"Back then, you harmed Concubine Wan's dragon fetus. I didn't punish you because it didn't cause serious consequences. But you never change!"
Yinzhen was indeed very angry this time. Looking at Concubine Qi who was still unrepentant, he laughed out of anger.
When Concubine Qi saw that the emperor no longer believed her, she immediately slid down to her knees and apologized, looking at Yinzhen and crying.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was just possessed by a ghost for a moment. I hope you will forgive me this time because I have been with you for so many years!"
"Your Majesty, you have always favored Concubine Qi since you entered the palace. I am Hongshi's mother, and I always want to give Hongshi a good future. I was confused for a moment, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me this time!"
Yinzhen looked down at her, "It is the greatest shame for Hongshi to have a mother like you! Su Peisheng, immediately send the imperial physician to Chuxiu Palace to treat Concubine Qi and the Sixth Prince."
Yinzhen looked down at Concubine Qi, who was crying miserably, and said coldly, "You'd better pray that Concubine Qi and her son are safe!"
In the harem, what Yinzhen could not tolerate the most was that they set their sights on the princes. What's more, he had only ascended the throne for a few years, and they were all eyeing the throne under his butt!
Humph, you are all so greedy that you don’t even consider whether you have the ability!
Yinzhen left with a flick of his sleeves. Concubine Qi collapsed on the ground, at a loss for a moment. She grabbed Cuiguo's hand and pulled her, saying, "Quick, go to Jingren Palace and find the Queen!"
Cuiguo ran out immediately. If Concubine Qi and the Sixth Prince were hurt in any way in today's incident, the Emperor would be extremely furious.
Now the master and servant put all their hopes on the Queen!
But the Queen Mother did not come out, but Huichun followed Cuiguo to Changchun Palace.
When Concubine Qi saw her, she thought she had seen a savior, so she pulled her aside and asked, "Huichun, what did the Queen say? What did the Queen say?"
Now all hopes rest on the Queen. Concubine Qi looked at Huichun with her heart hanging high.
Huichun bowed slightly, "Empress Qi, the Empress said that your deeds have been exposed this time. The Emperor loves Concubine Qi and her son so much that even if the Empress wants to, she is powerless."
Concubine Qi was horrified. She grabbed Huichun's sleeve and asked anxiously, "How can there be no solution? How...what should I do? Tell me what should I do?"
Huichun was being pulled by Concubine Qi's excited voice. Her cold look was very similar to Jianqiu's before. At this moment, a trace of sympathy flashed across her eyes as she looked at her. Then she whispered in her ear, "Think about it. If you are really punished by the emperor, you will be the sinner who drags down the third prince. The queen has spent so much effort to train the third prince, but you are so disappointing."
"Third Prince has a mother like you. In the future, let alone becoming the emperor, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold his head up high. You should think about Third Prince and don't delay his future."
Huichun then smiled and said, "The Queen said that if it were you...she would give the Third Prince the best training. In the future, he would be the legitimate son. Wouldn't that mean he would have a bright future?"
After saying that, Huichun bowed slightly and left. When Cuiguo came in, she saw her mother kneeling on the ground, crying in despair.
"Queen...Hahahaha Queen! You are so calculating!"
……
After hearing what Concubine Qi said, Yinzhen became worried about Wen Yuan and Hongyu. He had raised this child with great difficulty. If something happened to him, Yinzhen couldn't imagine how heartbroken Wen Yuan would be.
So when he hurried over, he arrived just in time with the imperial physician.
Seeing Wen Yuan sitting there and playing with Hongyu, he immediately walked over.
He waved his hand and called the imperial physician over: "Quick, take a look at Concubine Qi."
Wen Yuan looked over with her bright eyes, and Yinzhen saw that she was completely confused. Seeing her like this, Yinzhen held her hand to comfort her: "Don't be afraid. I heard some things today. To ensure safety, I'll have someone check your pulse."
It was Wei Lin who came to diagnose the patient's pulse. After carefully diagnosing the patient, he said to Yinzhen and Wenyuan, "Your Majesty, Concubine Qi does have the elements of lilac and tuberose in her body. If she stays in such an environment for a long time, she will suffer from nausea and vomiting, and lose her appetite. In the worst case, she may even fall into a coma due to poisoning and die."
"This poison is extremely harmful to young children and pregnant women, and it must not be placed in the temple!"
Yinzhen said coldly, "Go and show it to the Sixth Prince."
Wen Yuan held his hand and looked at him worriedly: "Your Majesty... Hongyu..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Wei Lin examined carefully for a long time and only detected a little bit in the Sixth Prince's body, which was quickly dissipating. Wei Lin turned his eyes and said to Yinzhen: "The Sixth Prince also has traces of this poisonous flower in his body, but it is probably not deeply exposed. The Sixth Prince will be fine if he takes good care of himself."
Yinzhen then breathed a sigh of relief, patted Wen Yuan's back soothingly, and asked Wei Lin to go down and prescribe medicine and treat her well.
Wen Yuan cried and fell into his arms, and asked aggrievedly: "I have been obedient since I entered the palace, and never had any grudges with the sisters in the palace, but...but I and my child have been poisoned time and time again, Your Majesty, I am so scared..."
"I'm afraid that one day, my concubine and my child will be killed, and we won't know who did it."
Yinzhen put his arm around her shoulders, patted her gently and said to her in a soothing tone: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will protect you and the child. Su Peisheng!"
His favorite concubine and child were poisoned, and the murderer has been found, so naturally he has to punish them severely to vent his anger.
Su Peisheng quickly bowed and agreed: "Your Majesty."
"Pass on my decree. Concubine Qi has harmed concubines and plotted to murder the heir to the throne. She has refused to change her ways despite repeated admonitions. She shall be demoted to a commoner. For the sake of the Third Prince, I will not sentence her to death. Let her repent for her sins in the cold palace!"
"Whoo!"
Wen Yuan stared at him in disbelief, "Your Majesty, is it Concubine Qi? I have never offended Concubine Qi, why is she so cruel and wants to kill me and the Sixth Prince?"
"I am too greedy. It's my fault for not protecting you well."
Yinzhen hugged her lovingly. Her frail body was already difficult to recover, and now she was trembling and sobbing in his arms. This silent crying made his heart even more painful.
However, Su Peisheng turned back after a short while and walked in with a wrinkled face, looking at a loss.
Yinzhen snorted coldly: "Didn't I ask you to go and announce the decree? Why are you still here?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I was originally going to go, but just as I was leaving the Chuxiu Palace, I heard a servant come to report that... that Concubine Qi had committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
"presumptuous!"
It is a serious crime for a concubine to commit suicide. Is Concubine Qi crazy?
Wen Yuan stepped out of his arms, tears still flowing, but she looked at him with concern: "Your Majesty, please go and take a look. I... Although I don't like Concubine Qi, things like this are always..."
Seeing her pouting and stubborn yet submissive appearance, Yinzhen touched her face distressedly, "Then you should have a good rest, I will go and take a look."
Less than an hour after arriving at Chuxiu Palace, Yinzhen returned to Changchun Palace.
Su Peisheng thought to himself: Concubine Qi is really confused! Even if the emperor is considering the face of the Third Prince, he will not really sentence her to death, but entering the cold palace is almost the same as death.
But committing suicide out of fear of punishment is a serious crime!
No wonder the emperor was so angry.
As soon as he entered, the Queen had already heard the news. When Yinzhen arrived, Yixiu was already waiting in Changchun Palace.
With tears on her face, Yixiu looked at Yinzhen and said, "Your Majesty, why did Concubine Qi suddenly commit suicide?"
Yinzhen looked at her coldly, not giving Concubine Qi any face at all: "She has done something wrong, so she is naturally afraid of committing suicide. I have already let her off the hook for poisoning Concubine Wan, but she does not repent and has attacked Concubine Qi and her son again!"
"If I hadn't accidentally learned about it today, Concubine Qi and her son would be in great danger."
Yixiu wiped her tears and looked at Yinzhen's indifferent expression. She knew that he must be extremely disgusted. Yixiu could only say, "Your Majesty, Concubine Qi has committed suicide. I hope you will forgive her because she has been with you since the Prince's Mansion."
Although Yinzhen hated Concubine Qi very much, he felt that a concubine committing suicide was really a disgrace to the royal family, so Yinzhen said to the queen: "In this case, I will bury her with the rites of a concubine, considering that she has served me for many years. However, the war on the border has just ended, so it is not appropriate to hold a grand funeral. All funeral rites should be kept simple. The queen can decide."
"Yes, I obey your order."
Yixiu looked at him and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince cannot be left without someone to take care of him..."
"The Queen will take care of the Third Prince for now. I don't want to hear any news about Concubine Qi."
After giving a hasty order, Yinzhen hurried away. Yixiu gave birth to a prince, and her lips curled slightly. She felt a little cold in her heart as she looked at Concubine Qi and Cuiguo beside her.
The next day, when Lu Yingfeng heard the news of Concubine Qi's sudden death, he immediately went to Wen Yuan to ask. Wen Yuan was indignant: "It turns out that Concubine Qi did it all on purpose for the past half month! She couldn't find a chance to do it, so she used the poison on herself, waiting for the smell to spread so that it could enter our bodies without anyone noticing!"
Then Wen Yuan looked at her worriedly: "Sister has been talking in my palace for many days, it is better to ask the imperial physician to take a look."
It happened that Wei Lin was coming, and Lu Yingfeng did not refuse. However, the poison in her body was only mild, so Wei Lin prescribed a medicine and she was cured.
Lu Yingfeng didn't think much about it, thinking that the poison was not strong and would take years to kill, so he looked at Wen Yuan and said, "She died happily, but why do I feel so aggrieved in my heart?"
Wen Yuan: "That's right, she harmed me. It seems like I forced her to do it. I got myself into trouble."
Looking at the extremely aggrieved Wen Yuan, Lu Yingfeng sighed softly: "In the past, Concubine Qi seemed to be just a little slow, but I didn't expect that she could have such means to harm others."
"Who says it isn't?"
Looking at Wen Yuan who was only concerned about her own anger, Lu Yingfeng thought that it might be the Queen who instigated it. However, our Queen has always been hiding in the dark and never does anything herself, so she got away with it cleanly.
But now it is more important to appease Wen Yuan. Lu Yingfeng also thinks that it is not easy for her: "Sister, you must be careful in the future. There are endless ways to harm people in the palace. If it weren't for the emperor this time, we would not be able to escape."
"Yes, it's really frightening to think about it. I've only been in the palace for a year and it's already like this. What should I do in the future?"
Wen Yuan lowered her head in melancholy, and Lu Yingfeng held her hand: "Don't be afraid, sister, we will take care of you, everything will be fine."
Wen Yuan nodded: "I hope so. Now I don't ask for anything else. As long as my child can grow up well, that's enough."
"Most definitely."
But there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days, so they have to think of a solution.
