Chapter 548: Misfortune leads to Dongshui
The Queen Mother's face instantly became extremely gloomy, and her hawk-like eyes narrowed slightly.
A cold light burst out from it, and a chilling aura filled the air.
"What did you say? Concubine Mi, what does this have to do with Concubine Mi? Explain it to me clearly."
Wang Chu sighed, hesitating to speak
"Empress Dowager, I heard that it was Concubine Mi who pestered the Emperor last night, saying that she wanted to go out and relax. You said, this is also a coincidence. The Emperor and Concubine Mi walked near Changchun Palace. Concubine Mi said that she was a little tired, and persuaded the Emperor to go to Changchun Palace to see An Shunrong. This is how An Shunrong's scandal was exposed in public. The Emperor was so furious that he used the method of swallowing gold to sentence An Shunrong to death."
The Queen Mother's eyes were grim and terrifying, she gnashed her teeth and
"Concubine Mi, good, what a great Concubine Mi. Do you really think that my family and the An family are easy to bully? How dare you plot against my niece? Chen Fengping, do you really think that you dare to do this just because you hold the secret in my hands? My family, Concubine Mi, and the Chen Guogong Mansion will never coexist. I will definitely avenge this grudge."
Chen Fengping is the name of the old Duke Chen.
Wang Chu's eyes flickered slightly. What was the secret that the Queen Mother was talking about?
The reason why Concubine Mi was so confident in front of the Queen Mother was because she held this secret in her hands.
Wang Chu quickly said, "Empress Dowager, there is one thing I dare not say."
The Queen Mother covered her heart
"Tell me, explain everything to me clearly. Also, why did the emperor want you to execute Qian Ning and Wang Chu?"
Wang Chu paused and spoke cautiously.
"Empress Dowager, it was An Shunrong. Before she died, An Shunrong begged the Emperor to see me. Before she died, she left a message, asking me to tell you, Empress Dowager, that Concubine Mi had framed her. She begged you, Empress Dowager, to avenge her."
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth
"Even if Qian Ning committed such a foolish act, Concubine Mi cannot plot against my niece. Two lives were lost for one corpse. Concubine Mi, who looks innocent, is the same kind of person as her grandfather, pretending to be kind and righteous on the surface. Since Concubine Mi has killed Qian Ning twice, well, I will repay her in kind."
Wang Chu watched from the sidelines, watching the fierceness and determination of revenge in the Queen Mother's eyes.
He closed his eyes and remained silent.
The Queen Mother was so upset by this incident that she suffered a headache again.
Wang Chu gave her a larger dose of Xiangshi Powder.
At night, the Queen Mother finally came to her senses and wrote a letter to Anshan in Jiangnan.
Xie Yu ordered that no one in the harem should discuss An Shunning's sudden death.
Even if everyone had many doubts in their hearts, they dared not discuss this matter anymore.
evening
Shenguang Palace
Chen Mi woke up from his dream, and Hua Ling hurried forward with a worried look on her face.
"My Lady, what's wrong with you? You are sweating so much. You must have had a nightmare."
Chen Mi recalled the dream just now. An Qianning had a hideous face, her stomach was ripped open, and she was bleeding and threatening her with her teeth and claws, asking her to pay with her life.
This dream was too real, she couldn't help but feel palpitations
"Nothing, I just had a nightmare, bring me some tea."
Hua Ling hurriedly brought back the tea.
"My lady, did you dream about An Shunrong?"
Chen Mi took a sip of tea and looked stunned.
"Um"
Hua Ling said, "My queen, it was An Shunrong who committed treason and did such a dirty thing. She also tried to confuse the royal bloodline. This is a major event that will kill all nine of her clans. My queen, this is not your fault. Why do you need to blame yourself? You are pregnant now, so you can't be disturbed by this nightmare."
Chen Mi recalled the last time An Qianning looked at her, which was filled with such overwhelming hatred.
After all, she was the one who plotted against An Qianning and the baby in her belly.
"You are right. I did nothing wrong. For the sake of the child in my belly, anything I do is worth it."
Chen Mi's eyes fell on the incense on the table and he frowned.
"Is this incense different from the one I usually use? Has it been changed?"
Hua Ling nodded
"Your Highness, you have not been sleeping well recently. The Imperial Hospital has replaced the incense with a calming one for you. Don't worry, I have asked someone to check it. It has not been tampered with. It is a very expensive calming incense. You can smell it more often. It will also be good for the baby in your belly. Your Highness, don't worry too much."
Chen Mi nodded
"Well, I am worried. Since I have checked and it is beneficial to the fetus in my belly, I will use it. Okay, you go to keep watch. I am tired."
The flower spirit retreated
Chen Mi lay down, but couldn't close his eyes.
All that flashed through her mind were the events of last night, which disturbed her mind. She didn't fall asleep until dawn.
Second day
Zhonghe Palace
Lin Junxue had just finished her meal when Gao Cheng came again
Xie Yu issued an order to take her out of the palace. Lin Junxue agreed and packed up a little.
Noon
A luxurious carriage drove out of the palace
Inside the spacious and luxurious carriage, there is a couch made of fine silk and covered with thick velvet carpets.
Lin Junxue sat on the side without even glancing at the side.
Xie Yu sat aside, holding a book in his hand, but his mind was not on the book at all.
Just now, Xie Yu sent Danzhen and Gao Cheng out, leaving only the two of them.
Xie Yu coughed deliberately
Lin Junxue paused, then turned and looked at Xie Yu.
Her eyes lost their usual gentleness, and she spoke quietly.
"Your Majesty, if you feel uncomfortable, you should go back to the palace."
Xie Yu is helpless
Today, he has already swallowed his pride, otherwise he would not have taken Jun'er out of the palace for fun. He just wants her to be happy.
"Jun'er, these days, you haven't seen me, nor have you come to see me. I'm not doing well. Do you know how much I miss you? Jun'er, please don't make trouble with me."
Lin Junxue stared at Xie Yu in front of her quietly
In those eyes as clear as autumn water, there was a gleam of barely perceptible light, just like the hazy moonlight before dawn.
inside the carriage
Lin Junxue and Xie Yu's eyes met, and time froze.
A silent game
Lin Junxue's beautiful eyes are as clear as water, and as bright and moving as the twinkling stars in the night sky.
She tilted her head slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled gently.
Xie Yuze used his eyes as deep as a pool of water to lock his gaze on Lin Junxue.
He was trying to get her to change her mind and go along with what he had just said.
unfortunately
"Your Majesty, I don't want to cause any trouble with you. I just want to follow my heart. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, so how can Your Majesty not live a good life? Your Majesty, since you can't give me what I want, I never dare to force you to do it."
Xie Yu's face darkened.
"Jun'er, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and I only favor you. It's impossible."
Lin Junxue nodded
"I know, Your Majesty, since you can't give it to me, why do you take me out of the palace to play and coax me? Your Majesty, don't worry about me anymore, just think that I don't know what's good for me."
Xie Yu gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Junxue's stubborn look.
He was an emperor who held the whole world in his hands, but now, he was helpless against the woman in front of him.
"Jun'er, don't take advantage of my love for you and spoil you..."
