Quick Wear: After I captured the hero, I ran away with the ball

Lu Qingfeng's expression looked a little better, and she helped Li Ji onto the bed. Her mother was right. Even though she had Li Ji's heart now, in the harem, only children could be relied on, so she still had to conceive a dragon heir as soon as possible.

Under the Hongluan tent, Li Ji kissed Lu Qingfeng passionately. As the night deepened, he was so confused that he mistook the person under him for Chi Yue.

"Brother Ji, you promised to marry Yue'er." Li Ji shook his head. Only then did he see clearly who Cheng Huan was. He felt guilty and worked even harder.

In the morning, when Lu Qingfeng got up, the mattress beside him was already cold. Xier came in with a bowl of medicine: "Your Majesty, this is what His Majesty told you before he left."

Lu Qingfeng looked at the bowl of medicine, feeling mixed emotions: "Put it down."

Xier knelt down and said, "My Lady, before His Majesty left, he told me to watch you drink in person."

The quilt in Lu Qingfeng's hand was almost torn to pieces. Ever since His Majesty expressed his feelings to her, he has never favored anyone else, but no one in the harem has a child.

He kept telling her that this was to protect her. Now his foundation was unstable and he had to rely on the He family and the Chi family. If she gave birth to a child before the queen and the imperial concubine, she would definitely become a target in the harem.

She used to think so too. He was willing to make Chi Yue the target of public criticism for her. But now, she sees the two of them being affectionate in public every day, and her jealousy grows deeper and deeper.

Perhaps even Li Ji himself did not notice that he talked about Chi Yue more and more often when he was with her, and she started to panic from being calm at the beginning.

"Give it to me."

Lu Qingfeng took the medicine from Xier's hand and drank it all in one gulp, but he felt as if someone was grabbing his heart.

In the Xingyue Palace, Chi Yue was pulled up by Tao Zhu in a daze to dress up. Although life in the harem was comfortable, the daily greetings were almost killing Chi Yue.

After simply dressing up, Chi Yue secretly took a few snacks and hid them in her sleeves. She would pay her respects at irregular times every day to avoid going hungry.

"I send my regards to the Queen. May the Queen be blessed with peace and happiness."

"Everyone, get up." The queen didn't even bother to look at them, she just glanced at Chi Yue who still had some crumbs hanging from the corner of her mouth.

Soon Zilin leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine had several cakes hidden in her sleeves. She almost choked on them when she ate them in such a hurry on the way."

The Queen couldn't help laughing and coughed lightly to cover herself up. Chi Yue had no idea what was going on. Tao Zhu couldn't stand it anymore and secretly reminded her. Only then did she wipe her mouth like a hamster that had stolen food.

It was so embarrassing that she just wanted to disappear right there.

"I heard that the chefs in Xingyue Palace are the best, but there is no need to pester us like this, Imperial Concubine." Shen Zhaoyi said with a big laugh.

The concubines around her also covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Chi Yue wanted to make excuses but didn't know how to do so.

"Take a break, it's just a snack. Zilin, bring out the chestnut cakes that we made today, so that everyone can have a taste."

Chi Yue's heart beat faster as she looked at the Queen who rescued her. She was busy reciting the Heart Cleansing Mantra in her mind.

When Zilin brought the chestnut cake to her, she was still muttering to herself until Taozhu gently pushed her, then she responded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

She had only eaten a piece of cake in the morning and was really hungry now. As soon as she took a bite, the fresh fragrance of the chestnuts melted in her mouth without being choking at all.

"Now that you're full, let's talk about today's business." The queen waved her hand gently, and a eunuch was brought up.

As soon as Xu Zhaorong saw the eunuch, the chestnut cake in her hand fell to the ground. Chi Yue looked at her calmly. It seemed that she also had a part in the original owner's matter.

"Why did Xu Zhaorong react so strongly? Could it be that she knows him?"

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I have never seen this eunuch before. I was distracted for a moment and accidentally dropped the cakes Your Majesty gave me. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Xu Zhaorong quickly adjusted herself and half-knelt on the ground.

"In that case, let him speak for himself."

"Empress, please spare me, Empress, please spare me!" The eunuch kept kowtowing. The Empress gave Zilin a look, and Zilin immediately stepped forward and slapped him.

"If you tell her what happened that day honestly, the Queen will naturally let you off the hook. But if you don't, there are many tortures in this palace."

The eunuch glanced at Xu Zhaorong cautiously and said with determination, "It was Xu Zhaorong who asked me to lead the Imperial Concubine and Lady Bai to the river the day before yesterday. Xu Zhaorong also asked me to talk to Lady Bai..."

"Go on." The queen's eyes became fierce, and the eunuch was so frightened that his legs went limp and he told everything.

"It is said that His Majesty has turned over her card several times in recent days, but the Imperial Concubine has always intercepted it. When Bai Cairen heard this, he was so angry that he followed me to the river. I saw with my own eyes that it was Bai Cairen who pushed the Imperial Concubine into the water. It has nothing to do with me. I was just following orders."

The Queen looked at Xu Zhaorong and asked, "Is what he said true?"

"Your Majesty, this is all lies. I would never do such a thing."

"Bai Cairen, tell me, is what he said right?"

Xu Zhaorong stared at Bai Cairen fiercely at this time. Bai Cairen shuddered and said, "My queen, I have never seen this eunuch. His falling into the water that day was an accident."

Chi Yue knelt down at this time and said, "Empress, I have indeed seen this eunuch. He told me that Your Majesty was waiting for me by the river, so I went to keep the appointment.

Your Majesty, you know that I have rarely left the Xingyue Palace since I entered the palace. If it weren’t for Your Majesty’s appointment, I would not have gone there.”

"You're talking nonsense. Didn't you go to the Imperial Garden alone yesterday and beat me like this?" Bai Cairen hated to see her being so weak. Every time she was like this, the emperor's heart was seduced away by her and he no longer cared about the concubines.

"That's because you called me by my name and even insulted me. That's why you were punished. You brought this upon yourself."

Chi Yue was half-kneeling, with half of her body still leaning on Tao Zhu, as if she was going to fall down in the next second: "Please, Madam, make the decision for me."

"Zilin, help the imperial concubine sit down." Then he looked at the people kneeling on the ground, "If you are willing to tell the truth today, you can get a lighter punishment. Otherwise..."

She only threatened him slightly, but Bai Cairen revealed his true colors: "He was the one who took me to the river, and he was the one who instigated me. It has nothing to do with me."

"It was Concubine Xu who ordered me to do this. Oh, and she also gave me one hundred taels. You can go check. The money is still in my room. I hope the Queen will understand."
