Concubine Qin led Xue Xuan back to her bedroom. She didn't speak all the way and looked gloomy.
Xue Xuan also knew that she was being rude just now, so she looked at Concubine Qin somewhat flatteringly: "Sister, are you angry?"
Concubine Qin sat down and sighed slightly, "Ever since I was little, I have never been able to bear to be angry with you."
Xue Xuan felt a little guilty. She was silent for a while and said, "I'm sorry, sister."
Concubine Qin's heart skipped a beat, thinking that she was going to say something about Musk. No matter what, she hoped that she could confess to herself. No matter how ridiculous the reasons she gave were, she could find excuses for her to forgive her.
However, Xue Xuan did not mean to say this. She said: "I have embarrassed my sister just now. I was just curious about why the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were so young and lost their etiquette."
Concubine Qin said seriously: "The Empress Dowager doesn't like us sisters that much. It's best for you to come to the palace less frequently in the future."
Xue Xuan suddenly raised her head, feeling a little sad, "Sister, don't you want the Empress Dowager to look at us sisters differently? She seems to like the tea brewed by her sister very much. As long as her sister comes to the palace more often to serve the Empress Dowager, she will definitely like her. Only the Empress Dowager likes her.
Sister, then sister will have a good life in the palace."
Concubine Qin's eyes were stern, "Are you really thinking about me?"
Xue Xuan said quietly: "Sister, although you voluntarily entered the palace as a concubine, it was for my sister. My sister doesn't want you to live in sorrow in this palace. As long as you are favored and live well, my sister will feel at ease. Otherwise,
No matter how perfect my husband is, my sister will never be able to feel at ease. Moreover, if the emperor and the queen mother find out about it, they will not let us go lightly. If we establish a good relationship now, even if the incident comes to light in the future,
Fortunately, the Queen Mother is here to protect me, so the Emperor will not punish him severely."
"The Empress Dowager already knows about this matter." Concubine Qin's face softened slightly. Xue Xuan's words still touched the softest corner of her heart. No matter what, they are all sisters. She may have regretted that she has been hurting her all this time.
It's really commendable for her to think so much about her. "She's not angry."
Xue Xuan was stunned, a little ecstatic, "Really? The Queen Mother knows? Then she didn't punish you?"
"No!" Concubine Qin didn't understand where her happiness came from.
"Oh, that's good, sister, I'm leaving the palace. My husband-in-law can't find me when he comes back, so I'm afraid he'll be anxious." She said quickly, then glanced at the sachets on the table, and said: "These sachets, you
Remember to wear it so that you can calm down. Sister, I'm leaving!" She said as she walked out quickly.
Concubine Qin's heart slowly sank. If it weren't for her last few words, she might still believe that she was really doing her best.
After Xue Xuan left, she said to her in a deep voice: "Invite Magistrate Guo over."
Laughter went out in response
Guo Yuanpan came over, Xiaoyu took out the sachets and handed them to Guo Yuanpan. He took them in his hand and slowly opened them, pouring the spices inside on a piece of brocade cloth. He carefully looked at Concubine Qin's calm face.
But everything is burned inside
"How?" She still couldn't hold it back and asked.
"The musk contains more ingredients than before. It is a strong medicine. I dare to conclude that if the empress continues to wear these sachets, she will be childless for the rest of her life." Judge Guo Yuan said solemnly
Concubine Qin swayed a little, she actually knew it in her heart, but she had to do this to make her give up.
"Please keep it secret, especially from the Queen Mother," Concubine Qin begged. She didn't know about the relationship between Guo Yuan and Long Chuxia. She said that Long Chuxia had just returned to the palace and was not a person in the palace.
Not familiar with it
Judge Guo shook his head and said, "Concubine Qin, I would like to ask you not to hide anything from the Empress Dowager. There is nothing in the palace that she doesn't know about."
Concubine Qin was stunned and became cautious, "What does the court judge mean?"
Judge Guo Yuan said: "I won't tell you, but I advise your empress not to try to hide it from the Queen Mother. She may have known these things for a long time."
Concubine Qin sighed in her heart, yes, why hide it from her? Since she found out that her miscarriage was due to Xue Xuan, she naturally knew that she would continue to send these things to the palace. She was silent for a long time, and then said: "Thank you for your advice, sir.
A smile for you, sir!"
Guo Yuanjian stood up, bowed his hands and left, walked two steps, and then turned around and said: "The Queen Mother is kind-hearted. If you have any questions, you might as well ask the Queen Mother. There is nothing she doesn't know about. Moreover, the Queen Mother is not afraid that innocent people will be implicated in this matter."
person?"
Concubine Qin raised her head and looked at Judge Guo, feeling horrified, but she pretended to be calm and said: "I know, thank you, sir."
After seeing off Judge Guo, Concubine Qin angrily swept everything to the ground and said sadly: "What did I do wrong? Is she going to do this to me?"
Xiaoyu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, "My queen, there is no need to be angry. There is no need to be angry. Let's just throw these things away secretly!"
"You can throw away things, but you still can't throw them away even if your heart is broken. I really want to ask her why she wanted to murder me like this. How can I blame her?" Concubine Qin closed her eyes, and hot tears fell down.
, her body trembled slightly, and even though she tried her best to suppress the sadness in her heart, she still couldn't suppress it. "What is the difference between her doing this and inserting a knife into my heart?"
The laughter became even fiercer, "Why don't you take her to the imperial court and let the emperor handle it?"
Concubine Qin was startled and shook her head subconsciously, "No, according to the emperor's temperament, if he knew that she did this, he would definitely kill her."
"She doesn't care about your life anymore, why do you still miss her?" Xiaoyu said loudly.
Concubine Qin said nothing and could not defend herself. Xue Xuan did not care about her life, but she had to protect her family. If the emperor found out, I am afraid that the Chen family would also suffer because of her.
Concubine Qin thought for a moment and said: "You order someone to leave the palace and ask your brother-in-law to come into the palace. Don't let her know."
"What do you want, the empress?" Xiaoyu asked in surprise.
"The crime she committed is enough to bring death to the Nine Clan. What the Guo Court Judge said just now is justified. The Queen Mother already knows about this matter. There is no guarantee that the Emperor will not know about it. I cannot allow the entire Chen family to bury her with her. As for the Xue family, now my brother
When fighting on the border, the Emperor will treat the Xue family lightly for the sake of his brother. Therefore, I want to ask my brother-in-law to divorce her before the Emperor knows about it." Concubine Qin was so anxious that she had never thought of this before.
The Empress Dowager stood still, probably because she wanted to find out the motive behind her. It was not that she had not planned to ignore her matter until now. She could only save one after another. She had already been sorry for Mr. Chen before, and now she could not stand to see their family suffer.
If he really loves Xue Xuan, then after this incident is over, if Xue Xuan is still lucky, the two of them can continue their relationship as husband and wife.
Xiaoyu also thought of this and said: "Yes, she is now a member of the Chen family, and she is planning to murder Emperor Rui. Once this matter is spread, even if the emperor is willing to give up, the civil and military officials of the court will not let her go, and will definitely force the emperor to
Until she is killed, killing her alone will not quell the anger of the civil and military officials of the court, and the Chen family will inevitably be implicated. Even if the Chen family is not beheaded, the Chen family will not be able to gain a foothold in the capital, and Mr. Chen will definitely not be able to secure his official position." After that, she
