After a long night of tossing, Tonghuan Pavilion finally calmed down. In order to let Wanyun rest in peace and take care of his health, Zhang Qin returned to the imperial study with anger. Jian Xiao stayed with Wanyun all the time.
"Sister, why didn't you say that my child was gone?" Wan Yun asked in confusion, "Now you say that I have a child, what if I can't get pregnant? How can this drama continue?"
Jian Xiao took Wan Yun's hand and said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a child!"
Wan Yun looked at Jian Xiao doubtfully, looked up and down carefully, and suddenly said, "Could it be that you have it?"
Jian Xiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly and nodded.
Wan Yun was not surprised. What was the relationship between Zhang Qin and Jian Xiao? She knew best that Jian Xiao returned to the palace pregnant and the father of the child was definitely not Zhang Qin.
"Your Majesty, does he know?" This kind of thing is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and there is a danger of annihilation of the family.
"I know!" Jian Xiao said, "I'm sorry, sister, I'm only telling you now."
"He is so generous!" Wan Yun said sincerely
"This is actually just a deal. I am doing it for revenge, and he is doing it for my country." Jian Xiao said lightly, "The child's father has passed away now. This is the only proof that he once lived in this world. I must make sure that nothing is wrong."
"Then why don't you raise it yourself?" Wan Yun asked curiously
"Since I want revenge, I must stand in the spotlight of thousands of people. This way my child will become the target of public criticism. Even growing up safely will be difficult. Why don't I stay by your side until everything is over?" Jian Xiao's eyes said.
Revealing a trace of determination, such calmness, Wan Yun saw turbulent waves in his eyes
She didn't know what happened after Jian Xiao left the palace, but it must have been extremely tragic for Jian Xiao to become what she is now.
"Have you made an agreement with the imperial doctor? The pulse you checked a while ago really turned into a happy pulse?" Wan Yun asked.
Jian Xiao shook her head, "I hadn't taken care of anyone at that time. When the woman came to Yuexin, her pulse condition was very similar to that of her happy pulse. Most people wouldn't be able to tell through it easily, but Dr. Liu, I did take care of it and it wouldn't be a problem."
"How do you know so much about this?" Wan Yun said, "Fortunately, I haven't left yet today, so I can cooperate with you in such a play. Otherwise, it would be dangerous."
Jian Xiao was confident, "This method is the simplest. If it doesn't work, there will naturally be complicated methods. Now I'll wait for His Majesty to come to find that person's shoes."
Wan Yun looked at Jian Xiao who knew everything like the back of her hand, and couldn't help but feel afraid that she could bear the humiliation and bear the burden in the palace that day and just wanted not to argue with others, but now she has calculated every move accurately, even though she has been in the palace for many years, she can't compare.
She secretly thought that she and Jian Xiao were still on the same side, otherwise she really didn’t know what would happen...
The sun came as expected, and it was a little warmer. It seemed that the cold wind from last night had been blown away. Jian Xiao had been feeling quite tired for the past two days. In the morning, he asked Yueyue to go to the queen to ask for leave, saying that he had caught a cold and needed to take a rest.
I know something big is going to happen today, so why not hide away?
Kong Zhaoyi was still lying on her side at home, waiting for the girl to help her change clothes. Suddenly she heard a hurried sound outside the door, followed by the sound of things falling. Kong Zhaoyi yawned lazily, "What are you doing?"
Just! Your skin is itchy so early in the morning?"
"My servants are here to see your majesty, long live long live long live!" The shouts caught Kong Zhaoyi off guard. She hurriedly found a piece of clothing, combed her hair casually, and just pulled her embroidered shoes out of bed when she saw Zhang Qin walking away angrily.
Come in
"I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, so I missed your welcome. Please forgive me for my sins," Kong Zhaoyi said sweetly.
Zhang Qin didn't answer, but grabbed Kong Zhaoyi's arm and lifted her up from the ground.
"Say! Who lent you the courage!" Zhang Qin roared in a low voice.
Kong Zhaoyi was startled. She knelt down and immediately became half-suspended. Her wrist was about to be snatched off. "Your Majesty, this is... why is this? I have done something wrong, my concubine?"
"Humph! Are you still acting? Huh?" Zhang Qin took out the porcelain bottle of tea leaves from his arms and threw it to the ground hard. "Bang..." The porcelain bottle broke into pieces, and the tea leaves and musk were mixed together and sprinkled on the ground. "This
You don’t know him either?”
Kong Zhaoyi's eyes widened immediately, "I... Your Majesty, I don't care about my concubine's affairs!"
"Pick them up piece by piece for me!" Zhang Qin yelled
Kong Zhaoyi trembled, knelt on the ground, and picked up the pieces of porcelain. "Oh!" She put her index finger in her mouth suddenly. It was obviously scratched by the porcelain piece. She peeked at Zhang Qin, who was still steely.
face indifferent
Kong Zhaoyi cried while picking it up. She didn't know why the favor from the past few days had turned cold so fast, and she didn't know how Zhang Qin found out about it. But when she put down the tea leaves, she looked around carefully to see that no one else was there, and she even gave them away again.
Two pieces of fine gauze were used to cover it up, but how could it still be discovered?
When she picked up the bottom of the bottle, Zhang Qin suddenly said, "Look at what's written below!"
There is a large seal on the lower part of the porcelain bottle with the word "hole" printed on it.
Seeing this, Kong Zhaoyi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, someone has wronged my concubine."
"Oh? Isn't the word 'hole' an object here? I remember seeing your pair of porcelain bottles here." Zhang Qin calmed down.
Kong Zhaoyi saw that Zhang Qin had relaxed a little, and immediately knelt down straight, and said confidently: "The porcelain vase of my concubine has no signature." Kong Zhaoyi glanced at the girl, and a girl came over holding the porcelain vase, "This is what your majesty gave me.
My concubine, look how smooth it is down here."
"Is this what I gave you?" Zhang Qin asked
"Of course! Your Majesty has forgotten? That day in the imperial study, before I could change my clothes, Your Majesty rewarded me with this pair of plum vases. I almost died of embarrassment." Kong Zhaoyi pulled back the old favor, "Look," Kong Zhaoyi's plum vase
He rummaged through the ear fragments and found, "There is a broken plum blossom on the left and right sides. These are my concubine's."
"Really?" Zhang Qin pursed his lips, "What about the other one? Not a pair?"
"This... I accidentally broke it the day before yesterday!" Kong Zhaoyi said carefully
"Broken? But this?" Tianjiao came out holding a porcelain vase, which was exactly the same as the one that was broken just now.
Kong Zhaoyi was stunned immediately
"There are two broken plums on the left and right. This is what you just told me. How did your broken bottle end up at Yun Jieyu's place safely?" Zhang Qin asked.
"I..." Kong Zhaoyi didn't expect that the trap she dug would actually trap her, "Your Majesty, I don't know if Yun Jieyu..." She wanted to write down any other reasons, but she couldn't justify them, so she had no choice but to bend down and kowtow, "Your Majesty, I don't know Yun Jieyu..."
I was deceived for a moment, and I ask Your Majesty to let me go in consideration of past kindness." Kong Zhaoyi couldn't help crying.
"Hmph!" Zhang Qin waved his sleeves, "If it weren't for Yun Jieyu's unborn baby being safe and Concubine Jian and the others interceding for you, I would have done it for you long ago!"
Kong Zhaoyi, who was crying so hard, cried even harder when she heard Zhang Qin say this, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."
"Although you are exempted from the death penalty, you cannot escape the living penalty! Tell me who gave you the musk and who gave you the idea, and I will reduce you to a talented person," Zhang Qin said
