dream.
This must be a dream.
Concubine Qi saw the bloody scene again. She subconsciously reminded herself that she was dreaming, but the child kept chasing her and yelling at her in a shrill voice to avenge him.
Revenge, where does the revenge come from? Concubine Qi was very confused. She suddenly lost her child. She wondered if there was something wrong with An Lingrong's secret recipe. Then she wondered if someone in the palace had really schemed against her. She even suspected that her body was really weak and that was why she couldn't keep the child. The emotions tore at her every day, making her sharper and sharper. She wanted to stab someone at any time to relieve her resentment.
Now this shrill voice was haunting her, and she couldn't help but want to find out what was going on:
"Where does the hatred you are talking about come from?"
The child clapped his red hands and kept saying, "Hehe, you mistook a thief for a good person and treated the secret medicine given to you by others as a treasure. You have been using it for many years and have already damaged your uterus. I have cultivated for many years and originally thought that I could be reborn into a rich and noble baby, but you, such an ignorant person, have killed me. Hehe, you are my enemy, and the one who gave you the medicine is also my enemy. Hehe, you both have to pay for my life."
No! She didn't believe it. The queen always loved her. She would use whatever was good. How could she harm her? Concubine Qi couldn't help but cover her ears, trying to block out the deadly sound, but she ignored the smoke from the cigarettes burning in the room and the action of the maid pinching her throat.
After this happened several times, Concubine Qi could no longer hold on mentally and fell into complete madness.
On the second day, she took out a few leftover pills. These pills were given to her by the Queen. They were placed in the Emperor's body when he was favored by the Queen. They could make the Emperor feel so ecstatic that he would find it difficult to give them up. She had used them countless times in the past few years. Could there really be something wrong with them?
Once suspicion arose, one had to find ways to verify it. Finally, after going through a lot of twists and turns, the medicine was brought out of the palace and asked her family to help check it out. The result was like a bolt from the blue for Concubine Qi.
At this time, Qipin's chest was burning with fire. She tried her best to break free from Xiaowen's hand: "Let me go. I will tell the emperor about this. These pills were soaked with safflower. I was injured and lost the prince. This is also the emperor's child. I have to let the emperor find the murderer behind the scenes."
Xiaowen knelt on the ground and hugged her legs tightly with both hands:
"My queen, have you forgotten my master's instructions? He said that a little impatience can ruin a big plan. This medicine was given by the queen. Do you want the emperor to blame the queen for this? My master said that this pill has been handled by many people, and it may not be the queen's doing. You just lost your child, and the emperor rarely comes to the harem. It is really not appropriate to offend the queen at this time."
The anger in Qipin's heart had already burned her eyes red, and she simply refused to listen to Xiaowen's persuasion. She gritted her teeth and said:
"Every time I encountered trouble, my father always told me to be patient. In recent years, his official position has become higher and higher, but has he ever thought about what kind of life I am living in the palace?"
Xiao Wen held her tightly and refused to let go: "My queen, you have to bow your head under the eaves. If you offend the queen at this time, it will only make your life more difficult."
This bucket of cold water poured over her head did not extinguish Concubine Qi's anger. Instead, it gave her a secret fantasy: if she made the roof shake, would the Emperor let her track down the real culprit?
The fire in her eyes burned even more fiercely, but her tone was unusually calm: "Xiao Wen, you are right, I can't act too hastily."
Hearing her say this, Xiaowen thought that she had finally come to her senses, so she untied her legs and carefully helped her into the bedroom, then brought her hot tea and comforted her in a gentle voice.
For a period of time thereafter, Concubine Qi behaved well, and Xiaowen completely believed that her master had returned to normal, and she would take her to the Imperial Garden to relax at any time.
At the end of October, there was a heavy snowfall in the Forbidden City, and the white snow and red walls were particularly attractive.
The children in the palace could no longer sit still, and in the afternoon they all went to the imperial garden to play snowball fights.
The Sixth Prince and Zining were already two years old and were very active. Wearing thick winter clothes, they watched the eldest princess and Wen Yi playing happily in the snow. They no longer allowed their wet nurse to hold them and clamored to go down to the field to play.
Concubine Jing and Concubine Jing really couldn't stand the two little ones' noise anymore. Seeing that there were people watching over them, they nodded and agreed to let the two little ones come down to play.
Seeing the two little guys running away as soon as they got off the ground, Concubine Jing smiled and said, "Sister Jing, it's boring to stand for a long time. Why don't we go to Chengrui Pavilion and sit for a while? Let them make a pot of hot tea, and we can also be elegant people who enjoy tea in the snow."
Li Ying looked at Lin Lan, who was serving the Sixth Prince, and nodded in agreement, thinking of how Lin Lan had always been accommodating.
But they were all mothers, and even if there were many people following them, it would always be more reassuring to have the child under their own eyes. After drinking a few cups of hot tea, Concubine Jing and Concubine Jing could not help but leave the pavilion and follow the laughter to look for the child.
The children were having a great time, and the faces of the eldest princess and Wen Yi were flushed. Concubine Xin and Cao Qinmo looked at each other and then spoke to the palace maids:
"Let the princesses come back. They will catch a cold if they continue playing around. And today's embroidery class cannot be delayed because of the snow."
Concubine Jing teased Cao Qinmo: "You are really a strict mother. You don't even let Wen Yi take a break on a day like this."
Cao Qinmo smiled and replied, "Sister, please don't say that to me. When Princess Zining grows up a few more years, I might be more eager for her to succeed than I am."
As they were talking and laughing, Concubine Qi's voice sounded faintly behind them:
"It's really lively here, sisters."
Hearing her voice, several people turned around and looked at the forced smile on Concubine Qi's face, and then they all laughed along with her.
Seeing that everyone was just giving her a perfunctory response, Concubine Qi's eyes changed instantly. Why could these people enjoy family happiness while she had to suffer the pain of losing her child?
Her sinister look naturally could not escape everyone's notice, and they all changed their minds and became unnaturally wary of her.
It happened that the children were brought back by the palace servants at this time. Cao Qinmo and Concubine Xin hurriedly stepped back and held the two princesses tightly by their side. Concubine Jing held Princess Zining in her arms, and Li Ying also signaled Lin Lan to hold the Sixth Prince.
The distrustful attitude of several people towards her immediately hurt Concubine Qi's heart. She was not a tiger or a wolf, so why should they be so on guard? She just went to the Imperial Garden to relax today. When she heard the children's laughter, she naturally thought of her own child who was not meant to be with her, so she wanted to come over to see him.
Why do you do this to her?
Concubine Qi was thinking in a daze. Seeing that everyone was about to move away from her, she got excited and reached out to pull the Sixth Prince in front of her.
Lin Lan had been on edge ever since Concubine Qi appeared. When she saw her reaching out to pull the Sixth Prince, she overreacted and instinctively dodged to the side. Lin Lan was skilled in martial arts, and the force of this dodgment was a little too great. Concubine Qi was leaning forward slightly, and she fell to the ground when she was pulled to the side.
Not only was Concubine Qi confused, but everyone else was also stunned by this sudden change.
"Wow!" The little Sixth Prince was frightened and burst into tears. Zining, who was a few days younger than him, followed suit and sobbed.
The Imperial Garden suddenly became lively.
Concubine Qi was pulled up from the ground. Looking at her scratched palms, she grinned and slapped Lin Lan in the face.
The Imperial Garden is more lively.
