Quick Wear: The paranoid beauty grabs the waist and spoils her

Chapter 404 How to Compete with His Peerless Charm 49

The scene was chaotic for a while.

Emperor Chengming used the empress as a shield and fled in panic.

After he was out of danger, he realized that his actions were cruel and selfish.

But what's the harm? He is the emperor, the ruler of the world. Whoever he wants to die will have no chance of survival.

Emperor Chengming thought to himself that he owed a lot to the Queen.

Now the Queen has died protecting him from an arrow. I think she must have loved him deeply and was willing to do so.

Even though the Queen had been cold to him over the past five years because of past events, and had often been lukewarm towards him because of the incident at Duke Wei's Mansion, and had even been turned away many times, his love for the Queen had never diminished.

They got married at a young age and had a deep love for each other. He would definitely posthumously confer a title on the empress to show his love.

The moment Emperor Chengming escaped, he shouted for protection.

The moment he pushed the queen out, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he glanced around with anger on his face.

This anger was because those villains dared to ruin his birthday and blaspheme the royal majesty.

Ji Qingchen was not at all surprised that Emperor Chengming pushed himself out to block the sword at the critical moment of life and death. He and his elder sister had already seen through the character of Emperor Chengming.

However, he did not know what Emperor Chengming was thinking just now. If he knew, he would not pretend to be injured and fight off the men in black, but would take advantage of the assassination to fish in troubled waters and take Emperor Chengming's life.

However, if this were true, the incident of Prince Huixian, the injustice of the Ji family of Duke Wei's Mansion, and the truth about the Jiaxing Su family would no longer be known to the world, and those who deserved the punishment would not be able to receive it.

Furthermore, envoys from various countries are present. If any further complications arise, the stability of Daqian may be difficult to maintain.

After all the men in black were killed, Nan Xiang and everyone else in Fengyi Palace hurried to Ji Qingchen's side.

When passing by Emperor Chengming on the way, Nan Xiang paused calmly, then rushed to Ji Qingchen, and together with Liu Han, they held him steadily on the left and right.

This birthday celebration was supposed to start with envoys from various countries presenting gifts and concubines from various palaces presenting carefully prepared gifts. It was a peaceful and festive occasion, but it was ruined in the end by a few men in black.

Although the real culprit was found, Emperor Chengming was not happy at all. He always felt that some things were out of control, but he was powerless to change it.

After the birthday celebration, Shu Xiuyi and Wen Cairen were thrown into jail.

Within three days, the Shu and Wen families were killed and their entire clans were exterminated, and countless people were implicated.

After getting the confession he wanted, Emperor Chengming ordered the two men to be given poisoned wine without hesitation.

It was announced to the public that they assassinated the emperor at his birthday banquet.

As for the reason, it was rumored that Shu Xiuyi's Shu family had colluded with the enemy and committed treason to murder the royal heir, and Wen Cairen, who had been framed many times by other concubines, formed an alliance with Shu Xiuyi and together they attacked the emperor.

But the truth was quietly suppressed by Emperor Chengming. After all, this was not a glorious thing.

The more detailed story is that Shu Xiuyi couldn't stand the loneliness in the deep palace, so she secretly communicated with the leader of the palace guards and quietly took control of the palace guards. The Shu family was ambitious and had always been dissatisfied with Emperor Chengming.

In their early years, they supported Prince Huixian, so they always had doubts about the death of Prince Huixian, the passing of the previous emperor, and the accession of Emperor Chengming, even though these events had happened several years ago.

However, why did the Shu family rashly carry out the assassination on Emperor Chengming’s birthday? Perhaps there was someone else behind the scenes manipulating this.

For example, the Xu family and the Li family.

While Nan Xiang was carefully treating Ji Qingchen's wound, she was quietly analyzing the situation.

Ji Qingchen listened carefully, not caring about the pain in his body. Looking at the little girl's joyful expression, his eyes were gentle and doting.

"In fact, this time, in addition to the Xu and Li families, the Fang family is also involved."

Nan Xiang came back to her senses, her expression was full of worry, but her tone was very firm.

"Concubine Xu, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Li, they have joined forces."

Ji Qingchen looked at Nan Xiang's worried eyes, stretched out his hands, gently held her face, and raised a faint smile.

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing the man so calm and in control of the situation, Nan Xiang's heart finally settled down.

"I believe you."

Ji Qingchen raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of Nan Xiang's head. His voice was lazy but firm, and unnaturally gentle, "Ah Xiang, how about we go to Nanli next year?"

Why go to Nanli?

Nan Xiang had doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask. After spending so many days together, she knew that if she asked Ji Qingchen, he would tell her the answer, but it would definitely not be the answer she wanted.

She could only suppress the anxiety deep in her heart and put on an expectant smile:

"Okay. Wherever Heyu goes, Ah Xiang will go too."

……

Nan Xiang returned to the Accounting Department of Shanggong Bureau again and heard Caiyi talking to her, sharing and complaining about Shu Xiuyi and Wen Cairen.

Nan Xiang did not express her own opinion, but listened carefully to Cai Yi's complaints.

Cai Yi talked a lot with great interest, starting from Shu Xiuyi and Wen Cairen, and then talked about some other big and small things that happened in the palace, such as what a certain concubine did to win favor, and what strange things the eunuchs and maids in a certain palace did.

Nan Xiang listened carefully without any impatience.

Seeing that Caiyi said she was tired, she thoughtfully poured her a cup of tea.

Caiyi drank it all in one gulp, with a satisfied smile on her face: "Thank you, Xiaonan, you are so nice!"

Then she stopped sharing the gossip and brought out a plate of coconut-flavored glutinous rice balls from below.

"Xiao Nanzi, I learned this from Chef Wu in the Imperial Kitchen. It's super delicious. I made it myself."

Seeing Caiyi's expectant look, Nan Xiang naturally wouldn't reject her kindness and started to praise her:

"Oh? Caiyi, you made it so delicately. I must try it."

Nan Xiang picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake and took a bite. It was soft, sticky and sweet, with a refreshing coconut flavor that exploded between the taste buds. It was indeed a fresh and refreshing pastry.

Nan Xiang was generous in praising Caiyi and gave her a thumbs up. While showing off, she nodded to Caiyi frequently.

After finishing all the coconut-flavored glutinous rice balls on the plate, Nan Xiang looked at Cai Yi with shining eyes.

"Cai Yi, do me a favor."

Caiyi was a little frightened by Nanxiang's look, but she remained calm: "What can I do for you?"

"you teach me."

"Huh?" Caiyi was a little confused for a moment, but she quickly realized that Nan Xiang wanted her to teach her how to make coconut-flavored glutinous rice dumplings.

"Okay."

After agreeing, Caiyi felt a little doubtful. In the past, when she brought cakes or other food, Nan Xiang had never shown such a strong interest in learning. Could it be that this time he was going to make it for the Queen?

Caiyi guessed this in her heart and asked directly:

"Xiao Nanzi, are you learning this to make it for the Queen to enjoy?"

"No... No! I made it for myself."

Nan Xiang herself didn't understand why she was so eager to refute, and after the words were out, she didn't want to say more.

Caiyi looked Nan Xiang up and down several times, and seeing that she was only a little agitated when she refuted, and there was nothing unusual else, she did not ask any more questions.

Nan Xiang worked at Fengyi Palace. During his free time, he would go back to Shanggong Bureau and often interact with Caiyi.

Therefore, Caiyi knew that Nanxiang was highly valued by the Queen in Fengyi Palace and lived a smooth life.

But these days, Caiyi always felt that there was something unusual about the relationship between Nanxiang and the Queen.

Although she was full of doubts, she never asked too many questions. She just buried the doubts deep in her heart. Occasionally, she would remind Nan Xiang indirectly, and Nan Xiang always accepted it calmly.

At first, Caiyi comforted herself that Nanxiang was only loyal and grateful to the queen, but now, she no longer has this certainty.

It seems that there must be an unusual relationship between Xiao Nanzi and the Queen.

Caiyi pondered secretly.

"Cai Yi?"

Nan Xiang saw that she was a little distracted, and fearing that she might have wild thoughts, she quickly grabbed her hand and left.

Caiyi came back to her senses and went to the Shangshi Bureau with Nanxiang.

……

In Fengyi Palace, after Nan Xiang left, Ji Qingchen could no longer hold back and took out a snow-white embroidered handkerchief from his arms and covered his mouth with it.

After a moment, spots of scarlet appeared on the embroidered handkerchief, just like a blooming red plum.

"He Yu, I'm afraid your body can't hold on any longer. You have to go to Nanli as soon as possible." A clear voice came.

Ji Qingchen raised his eyes and looked at the person who came indifferently.

The man was dressed in white with fluttering sleeves, looking handsome and extraordinary, with a lazy look in his eyes and an unruly smile on his face. When he looked at Ji Qingchen, there was a bit of worry in his eyes, and also a hint of disappointment.

The people who came were Ji Qingchen's good friends Pei Qing and Pei Yanzhi.

"It's okay. I know what I'm doing." Ji Qingchen said calmly.

"Ji Heyu! Are you the miracle doctor, or am I the miracle doctor?"

Pei Qing laughed out of anger, "If it weren't for Sister Qing Yan and Ji Heyu, even if you were disabled or dead, it would have nothing to do with me, your young master."

"Ah."

Ji Qingchen did not argue and let Pei Qing chatter on while he checked his injuries.

Pei Qing was helpless and angry when he saw this:

"I have finally rescued you from the battlefield and saved your life. Can't you cherish it?"

Seeing that Ji Qingchen remained silent, Pei Qing continued, "You don't take care of your own body, do you really want the person you love to be a widow for you? If that's the case, you might as well die early!"

As he said this, Pei Qing unconsciously increased the force of his acupuncture.

Ji Qingchen still had a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't feel any pain. Only the slightly protruding blue veins on his forehead revealed that he was not as calm as he appeared.

"Where is my sister?" Ji Qingchen asked softly.

Pei Qingying said: "Don't worry, Sister Qingyan is safe and sound."

Ji Qingchen did not ask Pei Qing where he placed Ji Qingyan. With Pei Qing's ability as the young master of the Pei family, if he couldn't even do this, then he would be just a figurehead.

If that was really the case, he would have to think carefully about whether he should entrust his sister to Pei Qing.
