Apart from using pregnancy as an excuse, there is no other excuse to avoid punishment.

Su Shangqing lowered his head and followed Qi Jingqin, feeling guilty but still willing to take a chance. For the sake of the child in his belly, the emperor would not blame him, right?

But just because she thinks like this every time, it makes people feel a little bit bored.

Hearing such words, Liang Huanqing's face inadvertently showed a trace of disgust and envy. Now she is the only one who can say such words in the palace.

In the whole palace, she was the only one who could be treated differently.

Everyone stopped talking and followed quietly behind.

At this time, Qi Jingqin seemed not to accept her words. After hearing Su Shangqing say these words, he closed his eyes and frowned. He Yu, who had been following him, knew that this was a time when the emperor was particularly irritable.

, think about how much Concubine Shu disgusted the emperor, so that she reached such a situation.

"There are eight concubines in the ceremony, but they still can't serve you two?" Qi Jingqin's voice was slightly angry, as if he was very unhappy.

After being in the palace for so long, no matter what she did, Su Shangqing always used the child in her belly as an excuse. No matter what happened, she was like this. She could convince him at first, but over time, it made him hate her and the child in her belly.

's children.

Su Shangqing is not stupid either. She has been in the palace for so long and has served the emperor for so long, so she naturally knows how to read the words and emotions. She hurriedly knelt down and everyone stopped.

Su Shangqing lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know my mistake and I will never dare to go beyond etiquette like this again."

"You understand." Qi Jingqin said coldly, "The queen is the middle palace and the master of the six palaces. The etiquette should be above you, but you are good. There are eighteen people in total including the sedan bearers. The queen is surrounded only by the palace.

If you are in charge, what do others think? As long as this is the first time, any pregnant concubine will be able to override the queen!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" It seemed that the Emperor was indeed angry. Su Shangqing and the maids and eunuchs behind him knelt down in a row and shouted in unison to calm down.

At this time, Su Shangqing had nothing to say. The emperor was dissatisfied with him in every possible way. As long as he harmed the queen's interests even a little bit, the emperor would make a fuss about it. This made her feel aggrieved, but she

I can't say it out loud.

Wasn't this the case before? When I was still the favored concubine of Ganquan Palace, when I was still the favored concubine of the Sixth Palace, it was clearly ordered by the emperor that I was pregnant and was the most important person in the harem. From now on,

Always bring more people with you when you go out to avoid any accidents.

But what's happening now? Why do you have to accuse yourself in public like this of something you personally promised?

Su Shangqing could not understand the emperor's strange behavior in recent days.

The first was to appoint a stillborn fetus that had just reached full term and was not yet born as Prince Duanhui. He was the first prince of the dynasty and named him Qi Shihuan, which meant that he would be famous throughout the ages and be famous throughout the world.

Su Shangqing was very worried about this matter. She didn't know why she did this. Is it because that person was Liang Huanqing?

After Liang Huanqing regained his favor that day, the emperor would be overjoyed and liked whatever he did. But on the contrary, now it is difficult for Su Shangqing to even see the emperor. If he hadn't said that he had something to say to the emperor today, he would not have been able to talk to the emperor at all.

Don't mention being able to see the emperor.

He had gone through so much trouble to see the emperor, but as long as Liang Huanqing wanted to see the emperor, even if the emperor was meeting someone else, Liang Huanqing rashly barged in and made the majestic Qinzheng Palace into a mess, the emperor would not

will blame her.

From Su Shangqing's perspective, it was obvious that Liang Huanqing did not follow the etiquette from the beginning. She was pretending to be shabby and only brought one person in charge of the palace order.

Su Shangqing was so angry that even though she was kneeling, she still said unreasonably: "Your Majesty, this is not just the fault of my concubine alone. Could it be that the Queen only has one person in charge of the palace order?

Do you think that if you don't want to surpass the queen, you will not take any of the palace people with you? I am wrong, but the fault does not lie with me!"

"Presumptuous!" Qi Jingqin was already dissatisfied with her behavior of bullying her subordinates and concealing her superiors. Now she wanted to humiliate the queen, but he couldn't tolerate it.

When Qi Jingqin was about to scold Su Shangqing, Liang Huanqing couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I think Concubine Shu did this to protect the emperor's heir. At this time, Concubine Shu was pregnant and had a hard pregnancy. Your Majesty

I'm afraid I don't know something. There is something wrong with me in this. As the middle palace, I am responsible for solving the emperor's problems and taking charge of the six palaces. I am not a concubine, but I am not a concubine. However, I still ask the emperor to forgive me.

After deposing the emperor, he will teach you."

At this time, Liang Huanqing bent her body slightly, lowered her head and was sincerely excusing Su Shangqing. Those who didn't know it thought they were sisters.

Qi Jingqin looked at her saying this and his expression softened slightly.

But at this time, Su Shangqing saw that Liang Huanqing could ease the emperor's bad mood with just a few words. Even though he was pregnant and kneeling on the ground, Su Shangqing was so angry that Liang Huanqing could resolve it with just a few words. This really made people feel a little jealous.

.

"Your Majesty!" Su Shangqing was heartbroken and wanted to drag Liang Huanqing into the water without caring about the truth or falsehood of the matter. "I came to you today just because of the Queen's business. The Queen is in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, but...

He also takes advantage of his position to do evil things and disregards the royal family’s face!”

When Liang Huanqing and Yuebai heard such words, they were inevitably a little surprised. Is Su Shangqing going to say that now?

In front of the emperor, if Su Shangqing wanted to talk about this, Liang Huanqing could not stop her.

She quickly made the worst plan in her mind: since Su Shangqing wanted to say something, just say it. When she arrives at Qianning Palace and can't see Shen Shu, she will know that this matter is false.

No matter what happens at that time, even if there are already suspicions in the heart, no matter how difficult it is for them to meet in the future, as long as they get through this test safely, there will be nothing else to worry about.

But even so, Liang Huanqing still wanted to remind her: "Shu Concubine! I am kind enough to speak for you, but now you want to slander me!? I warn you that if there is no evidence, it is best not to speak nonsense!"

Liang Huanqing was warning Su Shangqing that if they didn't have conclusive evidence, it would be best to keep the matter secret, but how could Su Shangqing compromise in this difficult situation?

Qi Jingqin looked at the two of them suspiciously, wondering what was going on that he didn't know.

He Yu and a group of eunuchs stood behind him, lowering their heads and not daring to speak. They were at the entrance of the Qinzheng Hall, but in this world, it was not the king's land. Even if he said it here, it would not matter much.

He Yu couldn't help but feel anxious and worried for the Queen. Although he didn't know what it was, at the same time, he was glad that he didn't know.

Looking at Su Shangqing's expression, she seemed to know something important. On the other hand, Liang Huanqing was only slightly angry, as if she hated Su Shangqing for being ungrateful. He spoke for her, but was bitten back.

"Shu Fei, tell me." Qi Jingqin is a suspicious person. His kindness to Liang Huanqing must first be based on the fact that Liang Huanqing has not done anything. Once Liang Huanqing does something, it will be difficult to guarantee that Qi Jingqin will

Trust her as usual.

Now that Su Shangqing just said such a nonsense, Qi Jingqin seemed to have already guessed in his heart what Liang Huanqing had done.

Liang Huanqing also looked at Qi Jingqin in disbelief. 1 She couldn't believe that Qi Jingqin would react like this, as if she had really done something wrong and was being reported, and Qi Jingqin's eyes were too cold.

Stand by and watch others criticize you.

For a moment, Liang Huanqing seemed to have fallen into an abyss. The ice all over his body was fierce, and the coldness penetrated into the bone marrow, swallowing up all Liang Huanqing's fantasies.

Qi Jingqin frowned slightly. He was suspicious by nature, and his first instinct was to wonder if Liang Huanqing had done something that violated the imperial code and was trying to rebel but was caught by Su Shangqing?

All of a sudden, the trust that was finally built up suddenly collapsed.

Liang Huanqing was unwilling to look at Su Shangqing at this time, so he just looked at Qi Jingqin with a look of disbelief. It turned out that no matter what he did, he could not dispel his doubts about himself.

As long as there is a slight sign, that spark can start a prairie fire in an instant.

Qi Jingqin and Liang Huanqing looked at each other, and with just a few simple words from others, they could tell that their already intimate identity and relationship suddenly became a little strange.

Su Shangqing knew that he had no evidence, and even now there were many doubts. If it was really what he thought, Ji Ziqi and Shen Shu would meet in Qianning Palace, but why did Liang Huanqing dare to take them directly to Qianning Palace now?

Although there were many doubts in my heart, the words had already been spoken, and there was no reason to take them back. Since the emperor wanted to say it himself, he could only bite the bullet and say what he heard that day.

Su Shangqing's heartbeat was racing at this moment and he couldn't stop panicking. Speaking of this now, it was like a last-ditch battle. If he could kill a thousand enemies, he would lose eight hundred, but this... there was almost no chance of winning.

Since Liang Huanqing dared to take them to Qianning Palace like this, it meant that everything she heard at that time might be different.

But at this time, they were all waiting for Su Shangqing to say, and it would be impossible if Su Shangqing didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, I planned to go to Qianning to pay my respects to the Queen the day before yesterday to show my discourtesy some time ago, but I didn't expect that Princess Wangshu would be in Qianning Palace at that time." Su Shangqing knelt on the ground and looked at Liang Huanqing and said.

.

However, Liang Huanqing had no more emotions. She just followed the direction of the voice and looked at Su Shangqing. Qi Jingqin also looked at Su Shangqing with an indifferent expression.

No one cared about going to Ning Palace at this time, and no one remembered the so-called pine nut and lily cake.

Liang Huanqing thought that it would not be a bad thing to explain everything thoroughly at this time, so he explained everything so that there would be no more extraneous matters.

"What's wrong with Wang Shu?" Before everything was explained clearly, Qi Jingqin would overthink everything he heard.

Could it be that Liang Huanqing was planning to rebel and would he bring Qi Wangshu with him?

At this time, Qi Jingqin's tone was already slightly angry, but he was still restrained. No matter what he was thinking, it was just an idea after all. Qi Jingqin could not decide the direction of this matter so arbitrarily.

When Su Shangqing saw that the emperor was interested in this matter, she was very excited. She knelt down and said, "That day, I saw the Queen and Princess Wangshu coming out together, so..."

Such eavesdropping was unethical, and Su Shangqing was worried that if he spoke out, the emperor would speak out about him again.

But after hesitating for a while, he then thought that he was just cleaning up the rubbish for the royal family, and he had done nothing wrong. The people who did the wrong thing were Liang Huanqing, Qi Wangshu, and Shen Shu.

Then he said: "So I hid behind the door and eavesdropped." Su Shangqing looked up at Liang Huanqing, who was also looking at her, "At that time, the Queen and Princess Wangshu planned to have General Liang Ji and Lord Ji together today. Enter the palace and secretly ask Concubine Shen to meet Lord Ji! Concubine Shen is a concubine of the late emperor, but she secretly has an affair with the court officials. The Queen Concubine and Princess Wangshu are their helpers!"

"How audacious! What nonsense!" Liang Huanqing pointed at her and cursed: "You dared to eavesdrop when the Imperial Palace was talking to the princess, and then you made such nonsense!"

Qi Jingqin was confused. Why was this matter related to Concubine Shen? Ji Ziqi? Fornication?

Liang Huanqing looked at Qi Jingqin and said angrily: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me! I did let the princess out of the palace that day and sent a message to my brother, saying that I would come to the palace for a reunion today. I and I The elder brother is a brother and a sister. After I got better, I never had the chance to see each other, so we would get together when I had time. Ji Ziqi also came to the capital for the first time and became friends with his brother, so he brought them to the palace to chat together. The princess was also present. Moreover, today I have just started to develop my skills and made pine nut and lily cakes. I wanted to invite the emperor to try it, but I didn’t know that Concubine Shu was gossiping behind my back. Your Majesty, if I really helped Ji Ziqi have an affair with Concubine Shen, why bother? Would you please go to Qianning Palace?"

Then Liang Huanqing looked at Su Shangqing and said: "Then the Japanese Palace has not mentioned Concubine Shen, but you and Concubine Shen had a private enmity at some time, and you are blamed on me? If you don't believe it? , you can go to Concubine Shen and ask for a clear explanation! You are slandering Concubine Shen for nothing and disregarding the reputation of the royal family. If it weren’t for the fact that you are pregnant with Liujia, I would also purge the harem and punish the late emperor. You!"

Su Shangqing saw that Liang Huanqing was so sharp-tongued and couldn't provide any evidence, but now he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he said: "Since I said this, I must have heard it with my own ears..."

"How did you hear with your own ears what I have never said or done?" Liang Huanqing asked quickly.
