Deep Palace Conspiracy: My son will sit on the dragon throne and I will be the queen mother

That night, Emperor Yinde did go to Weiyang Palace and had dinner with Su Qingyao and several children.

Chengjue and Yun Shu both ate obediently. The one and a half year old child no longer needed to be fed by Su Qingyao. Even if it was a bit picky about food, Su Qingyao would let them do it.

Chengze was also over nine months old. During the meal, he sat quietly on Su Qingyao's lap and was fed complementary food. Yun Shu also enthusiastically helped to feed his brother.

After a very happy meal, Emperor Yinde also stayed in Weiyang Palace.

After that, Emperor Yinde became busy again. The new year's imperial examination was in progress, and the matter of choosing who to be the prime minister was really the top priority.

So I didn't enter the harem for half a month.

Su Qingyao didn't care about this. She looked at the children every day and felt that this kind of life was very promising.

That night, Su Qingyao put the children to sleep and was about to let Ziqiu come in to help her bathe and change clothes when she saw a dark figure outside the window.

"Who?" Su Qingyao immediately became alert.

Before she could scream, the man went directly into the palace, knelt down and saluted Su Qingyao, "I see you, Master."

Su Qingyao frowned and scolded coldly, "Who are you?"

The man raised his head and said, "My subordinate was Ying Jiu, the secret guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess. When Yin De was three years old, he once rescued his master."

Yinde three years?

Su Qingyao walked to the soft couch and sat down, recalling what happened in the year when she first entered the palace.

"Are you the one who rescued me from the Taiye Pond on the night of October 20th, the third year of Yinde's reign?"

That night, Su Qingyao bumped into Queen Chun Zhao Yiren and Jing Chen. After some pulling with her, she was pushed into Taiye Pond and was rescued by a man in black.

Apart from her, only Ziqiu knew about this matter. After the two analyzed it, they did not expect the identity of the person.

Now that she is kneeling here, Su Qingyao finally figured it out, "You are the secret guard of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess asked you to protect Queen Chun Zhao Yiren that night. Did you indirectly save me?"

It sounds nice to say it's protection, but to be precise, it's surveillance.

"Master is wise." Ying Jiu bowed again.

Su Qingyao picked up the tea cup at hand and took a few sips, "Since you are the secret guard of Her Royal Highness, why do you call me the master? Although I don't have much contact with the secret guards, I still know the rules. There can only be one master."

"Yes." Ying Jiu replied, "Master's words are correct, but Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has left the capital and does not need us to continue to serve her. Therefore, I am bold and ask Master to allow me to serve you."

Su Qingyao did not expect that the eldest princess would even disband her own secret guards.

"Since Her Royal Highness the Princess has given you freedom, why do you continue to stay in the palace? And why did you choose this palace?"

"My whole life, I just want to serve the royal family and die with dedication. As for why I chose my master, I want to protect my little masters."

Su Qingyao rubbed the cup with her slender fingers. Yingjiu's meaning had been expressed clearly.

The secret guards trained by the royal family must always be loyal to the royal family. But how much can she believe what this person says?

"How can I believe this?" Su Qingyao stood up and looked at him condescendingly.

Ying Jiu pulled out his dagger directly from his waist, and presented it to Su Qingyao with both hands, "If the master doesn't believe it, you can kill the subordinate directly, and the subordinate will never say anything."

Su Qingyao held the handle of the dagger and was stunned for a long time.

"Besides your life, is there anyone else who can show your loyalty to me?"

Ying Jiu hurriedly said, "Subordinates can help the master and keep an eye on Beauty Qiao's every move."

"Why Beauty Qiao?"

"My subordinates heard that Beauty Qiao has been disrespectful to the master many times before. Now that she is pregnant, the master should be more careful." Ying Jiu replied respectfully.

Su Qingyao sneered, this little secret guard knew quite a lot.

"Actually, there's no need to go to such trouble." Su Qingyao said, when she arrived at the inner hall, she took out a small package of goodies she had prepared and handed it to Ying Jiu, "I have long disliked Mrs. Qiao. How can such a person give birth to a royal heir for His Majesty? It would be better to have him stillborn to save people's worries."

When Su Qingyao said this, there was murderous intent in her eyes, as if she really wanted the child's life.

"Subordinate, I will definitely live up to my master's trust." Ying Jiu took the good thing and kowtowed to Su Qingyao.

"I only give you twelve hours. If it doesn't work..." Su Qingyao did not finish the rest of the words.

"If that doesn't work, the master will kill the subordinates directly." Ying Jiu handed the dagger to Su Qingyao again.

Su Qingyao was not in a hurry to withdraw, but waved her hand at him, "I am tired, please step back first."

"Subordinates retire."

Watching Ying Jiu disappear into the night, Su Qingyao called Zi Qiu to come in and wait on her, and told her everything that had just happened, "What do you think of this matter?"

Zi Qiu carefully took off the hairpins from Su Qingyao's bun one by one, "It's hard to say, if there is really a problem, why would the master let the master kill him directly? If there is really a problem, then he belongs to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess What do people want to do?"

Su Qingyao stroked her forehead lightly, "Ziqiu, I can't see clearly for the moment, but one thing I can be sure of is that this person has nothing to do with Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

"You will know after you test it a few times." Ziqiu said, and then laughed again, "The empress said a few days ago that Her Highness the Third Princess had a lot of rouge and gouache, so she hid some in her dormitory. I didn't expect that she would send such a big use."

Su Qingyao had already told Zi Qiu just now that the good stuff she gave Ying Jiu was not poisonous powder at all, but a few of Yunshu's rouges mixed together with a small amount of laxatives. They were all non-toxic.

"Shu'er has helped me a lot this time. It seems that she has to make new clothes for her. Didn't Sister Ji send a lot of materials a few days ago and said they were from my aunt? You can go to the warehouse to look for them tomorrow. Come out."

"Instruct Xiao Xiazi to keep an eye on Yingjiu's place."

The next day was the day when the concubines came to Weiyang Palace to pay their respects once a month.

"Concubine/Concubine, I respectfully wish you, the Concubine Xian, may you be blessed and safe." All the concubines saluted.

Su Qingyao sat at the top, looked at everyone, raised her hand slightly, "Without courtesy, I will give you a seat."

"Thank you, Concubine Xian."

After everyone took their seats, the vacant seat of Beauty Qiao was particularly obvious.

"Which sister hasn't come here yet?" Su Qingyao's tone was neither urgent nor slow, but the concubines had already heard her displeasure.

"What's wrong with Beauty Qiao today?" Liu Jieyu said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the maid next to Qiao Meiren coming in, "Slave, please see the Concubine Xian. Masters, I would like to report to the Concubine Xian that our little master has a stomachache this morning and really can't get through it. Please be patient. "
