"Fourth brother, how do you think about the Jiangnan expedition that I told you about?" The emperor asked Qi Mingzhuo while playing chess at the pavilion.【】
Qi Mingzhuo smiled, "Everything is subject to the arrangements of the imperial brother. I am just an idler. Thanks to the emperor for not giving up, I have given you this important task. I am afraid that I will betray the holy will."
The emperor laughed heartily, "I also know that my fourth brother loves to travel around the mountains and rivers, so I gave you this task. I heard that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful and rich in beauties."
Qi Mingzhuo smiled, "Then I will definitely live up to the emperor's kindness."
"Fourth brother, you are not young anymore. Every time I want to act as a matchmaker for you, you refuse. This time when you go to Jiangnan, you should pay more attention to the beauties in Jiangnan. You should also get a princess, otherwise the Queen Mother will spend every day
It annoys me if it makes noisy noises in my ears."
"My brother, the emperor and my mother have to worry about my brother's affairs. I really deserve to die. It's just that I'm used to being alone. I'm afraid that there will be more people to control me. I'm scared even thinking about it."
"You." The emperor smiled helplessly.
"My brother lost again." Qi Mingzhuo put down a move, "It's a pity that I can't regret it."
"Fourth, you gave in to me on purpose, right?"
"No way, the emperor's brother is very good at chess, and my brother is willing to be defeated."
At this time, I saw a servant hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, there has been a murder in Caisiyuan."
Hearing this, the emperor was shocked, and Qi Mingzhuo was also shocked. This Caisi Courtyard is where the show girls live. How could there be a murder before the draft started?
"Your Majesty, King Yong feels that this matter is of great importance and needs to be reported to the Emperor. Can the Emperor move it to Caisiyuan?"
Qi Mingzhuo approached the emperor.
The emperor hesitated for a moment and then said, "Tell King Yong that he must investigate this matter. In addition, he can choose beautiful girls to be named beauties, and the rest can be sent to various palaces as maids."
"yes."
After the servant resigned, Qi Mingzhuo said, "Brother, won't you go and select it yourself?"
The emperor smiled lonely, "Since it's been decided by default, why do I need to choose?"
Qi Mingzhuo said nothing more, and the two continued to play chess.
Fengqi Hall.
"Qingxin, what you said is true?" Pei'er rubbed her painful temples.
Qing Xin nodded, "My lord, Zhaoyi and the others really went to the cold palace to run wild. Zhuer almost lost her life in order to save the imperial concubine. Zhaoyi and the others really went too far. There were two murders in Caisi Court.
It is said that they are the two most beautiful ladies, what a pity."
"They are afraid that if too beautiful women are sent to the emperor, the emperor will be obsessed with beauty and they will be left out."
Qing Xin nodded, "My lord, your Majesty asked King Yong to investigate this matter, but if King Yong finds out about Zhaoyi and the others, he may just turn a blind eye or close an eye, and two lives will pass like this. I'm afraid that
Zhaoyi will have murderous intentions for the noble concubine in the cold palace."
Pei'er continued to rub her temples.
"My lord, I have nothing to worry about. I am only afraid that Zhaoyi will be harmful to my lord. It is really dangerous for me to have people behind me and no one to back me in the court."
How could Pei'er not know that she was walking on thin ice now? Why?
She touched her belly and said, "The emperor doesn't favor me, so what can I do?"
Qingxin cried, "My little master, you have to work hard to win the favor. Take this child as an example. You have to let the emperor know."
Pei'er shook her head, "Why don't I want to? But you have seen how powerful Zhaoyi and the others are. If they know that I am pregnant with a dragon seed, can this fetus be saved? Does the Emperor want it? Does the Queen Mother want this?
Although he is a concubine, he is still the eldest son."
"But, in a few months I won't be able to hide it anymore."
"Qingxin, please accompany me to the cold palace."
"Little Master."
"What are you talking about? You are afraid that I will go alone."
Zhuer was very happy. The prince finally decided to take the young lady away. He secretly showed her love to the young lady, and she seemed to be very moved. She was even more happy.
She cooked light dishes.
"Miss, it's time to eat."
Liu Xiaoxuan came back to her senses.
"These side dishes were sent by the prince. I don't know if they were stolen." At this point, she secretly observed the young lady and found that the young lady's face turned red.
Hehe, she guessed it right. The young lady must miss stealing things with the prince that night.
Liu Xiaoxuan was about to eat when suddenly the door of Leng Palace was kicked open.
The two of them were shocked. Hearing this posture, they were afraid that Zhaoyi and the others were here to cause trouble again.
But they were wrong, the person who came was actually Pei'er.
As soon as she came in, she laughed coldly, "I heard that the lady committed suicide two days ago because she couldn't bear the humiliation?"
Pearl was so angry that her whole body was shaking, "Bitch, what are you doing here?"
"Bitch?" Pei'er sneered, then touched her abdomen, "I'm already pregnant with a dragon species, and it's been more than three months."
Hearing this, Zhuer and Liu Xiaoxuan were frightened.
More than three months?
Does that mean that Pei'er was already with the emperor when they first entered the palace?
"Shameless!" Zhuer scolded.
Pei'er smiled, "Both the Queen Mother and the Emperor said that they don't like princes from powerful families, but I have no power. The Emperor is very confident that I will be the queen of the future, and my child will be the prince. Pearl, you
Do you still dare to call me a bitch, do you still dare to call me shameless?"
Pearl was furious, "You are just a bitch!"
Pei'er sneered, "That's all, I'm too lazy to care about you, miss. It's not that I don't remember your life-saving grace, but what about the life-saving grace? Are you still not being bossed around by you every day? Girl, that's it.
Girls can never be equal to sisters. You said you treat Pearl and I as close as sisters, but why don't you let us do other people's work?"
Liu Xiaoxuan was very cold, "So, you hate it?"
"That's right." Pei'er gritted her teeth, "It turns out that the emperor didn't want to kill your children. It was me who kept encouraging the emperor and the queen mother."
Liu Xiaoxuan burst into tears with laughter, her heart twisting, "It's actually you."
"Yes, the emperor loves me very much, but you don't know it. Those illusions are all because I taught him to be nice to you. Miss, do you hate me very much?"
I hate it, I really hate it, but I also hate the Emperor even more.
"In order to repay your life-saving grace, I am now going to ask the emperor to give you a chance to return to him. Of course, I also have my own purposes and selfishness. At first, everyone thought that the emperor was crazy about loving you. Now,
I want to prove to the world that the emperor is in love with Pei Er, the girl next to Xue Changxi, a deliberately created illusion. I want you to fall in love with us and make you miserable. Do you think this arrangement is good?"
"You!" Zhuer rushed over, but was stopped by Qingxin.
"Don't think that I don't know about the matter between the prince and you. The prince developed the Guixi Pill for you. I know everything about it. The shrewd emperor also noticed it and ordered me to investigate secretly. The evidence I have is enough to get rid of you.
, but I suddenly can’t bear to let you die. What a pity it is for you to die. Everyone in the world thinks that the emperor loves you instead of me. If you want to die, you have to wait until you prove to the world that the emperor loves me!"
