Chapter 40 The cold-blooded and short-lived emperor vs. the surrogate princess 40
Following Mrs. Qu's departure from the palace, there was another piece of news.
The imperial concubine suddenly suffered from unbearable abdominal pain. The Luoxia Palace has been closed, and the imperial heir in the imperial concubine's belly may not be safe!
This news spread like wildfire at an extremely exaggerated speed.
The emperor who had just left the court heard the whispers of the palace people, his head buzzed, his vision went dark, and he almost fell to the ground.
Under Qu Xinyue's order, he waited outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, trying to tell the emperor that the news was the pearl of rumors:...
What's the big deal when you suddenly feel like you're in the same boat?
She hurriedly stepped forward, taking advantage of the invitation to hurriedly flick the piece of paper that the imperial concubine asked her to hand over into the emperor's hand.
Qi Guantuo was startled for a moment and opened the piece of paper.
What appears on the paper is a vivid and concise line drawing.
Two adults are holding a child, and a warm picture of a family of three comes to mind.
The signature is the word "joy" and a smiling face outlined in three or two strokes.
"Naughty!" Qi Guantuo gritted his teeth, carefully folded the note, put it in his purse like a treasure, and put it together with his personal seal.
A fond smile flashed in his eyes.
Qi Guantuo didn't know that Qu Xinyue was not only busy taking revenge on Mrs. Qu, but also helping him investigate the poisoning case that year.
But this does not affect the tacit understanding between them.
When the retired ministers came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and heard the maids' whispers, almost all of them looked as if they had been struck by lightning.
They rushed to Qi Guantuo like their buttocks were on fire and nervously asked for confirmation.
"Your Majesty, is something really wrong with the Imperial Concubine?"
Qi Guantuo looked at the eager eyes of the ministers, shook his head, and denied it flatly: "My dear friends, don't worry, it's nothing."
The hearts of the ministers suddenly sank to the bottom. When the emperor said it was okay, don't frown and look like you are sad but I have to endure it.
The old ministers have already shed tears, the emperor's heir has been waiting for for so long!
An Shangshu, who was standing behind the ministers, lowered his head and was secretly happy. He was already convinced that yesterday's assassination was successful.
As for why the emperor kept it secret from everyone that something happened to the imperial concubine and the emperor's heir was not protected?
Isn't that why the emperor is worried that everyone will mention the matter of his successor?
The emperor is just pretending to be fat.
An Shangshu thought he had seen the whole picture and decided to cause trouble when he returned.
Since the emperor Qi Guantuo has been unkind to the An family, why not change to an emperor who is more kind to the An family?
Qi Guantuo saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, his face remained calm but he was already thinking about it in his heart.
It's just that now is not the time to settle accounts with ministers who have ulterior motives.
Furthermore, although Yue'er said on paper that she was fine, he still wanted to see it with his own eyes before he could truly feel at ease.
Master Qu returned to Qu Mansion with a sad look on his face. He was not worried about his daughter Qu Xinyue.
But he thought of something. His wife has been acting strange recently, and she always passes signs to the palace.
He knew very well in his heart that his wife and Qu Xinyue were not on good terms at all, yet she worked so hard to get closer to Qu Xinyue.
Now that something happened to Qu Xinyue, it was hard not to let him think too much.
He was afraid that his wife would cause a huge disaster and harm him.
As soon as Mr. Qu, who was worried, entered the room, he saw Mrs. Qu changing her usual sad expression, smiling at the corner of her mouth, and humming a rare ditty.
He was obviously very excited.
Lord Qu paused and felt a bad feeling in his heart that his vision would come true!
With a pale face, he waved away the young man who was about to come forward to serve him. He walked up to Mrs. Qu in three steps and asked in a deep voice, "You entered the palace again today?"
Mrs. Qu's eyebrows were unabashedly elated and she hummed briskly.
After being married for many years, how come Master Qu doesn’t understand the person beside him?
Seeing Mrs. Qu's reaction, Master Qu felt a sweet taste in his throat.
He pointed at Mrs. Qu with trembling fingers, and it took him a long time to say: "You stupid woman!"
Mrs. Qu, who was always strong, suddenly became unhappy. She reached out and slapped away the finger that Master Qu was pointing at her, and sneered.
"What? Are you feeling sorry for that little bitch? How come the little bitch can enjoy happiness while Ran'er is suffering?"
"You..." Mr. Qu staggered back and uttered an ouch, "Did you know that this was going to be a disaster!"
Mrs. Qu was not afraid and had a complacent look on her face. She rolled her eyes at Master Qu and said disdainfully.
"Look at how cowardly you are, don't worry, you did this quietly and no one will know."
When Master Qu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky in his heart.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door.
There were screams from maids who were frightened, and screams from boys who were kicked and beaten.
Before Master Qu and Mrs. Qu could walk out of the house, the door to the room where they were was suddenly kicked open with a strong force, almost hitting them in the face.
"Everyone is here, surround them all!" The secret guard captain, who had borrowed people and armor from the Royal Forest Army, entered the house majestically with a long knife on his waist.
The imperial guard behind him roared.
Yes--
The movement quickly surrounded the room.
They were so dense that not even a mouse could escape from under their feet.
Master Qu and Mrs. Qu saw for the first time what iron blood is! What is murderous aura!
The two of them were so frightened that their faces were as white as paper and their legs were weak.
There is only one voice left in Master Qu's heart, it's over, it's over, it's all over...
Mrs. Qu still kept her luck in mind and was sure that even if Qu Xinyue suspected her, there would be no evidence.
She took a deep breath and tried to put on a calm smile on her face, although it was a little stiff.
"My lords, may I ask what this is? You see, although Qu Mansion is a small family, it is the concubine's natal family, isn't it..."
The captain of the secret guard team, who knew the situation best, sneered. Only then did he remember that the imperial concubine came from Qu Mansion?
Why did you go early?
He didn't bother to argue with Mrs. Qu, so he directly raised his arm and waved, shouting: "Take Mrs. Qu away!"
Two beefy-looking imperial guards stepped forward, clasped Mrs. Qu's hands behind her back, and marched her towards the street outside the mansion.
The captain of the secret guard walked at the back. Before leaving Qu Mansion, he thought of the hardships that the imperial concubine had suffered in Qu Mansion, and he smacked his feet.
He turned around and came to Master Qu, with a sullen face and a cold threatening voice.
"Master Qu, Mrs. Qu is suspected of poisoning the imperial concubine. Now she will be detained for rigorous interrogation. If Mrs. Qu confesses the matter and Master Qu is involved..."
The unfinished words were hidden in the malicious eyes of the secret guard team leader.
Master Qu almost couldn't catch his breath, the whites of his eyes rolled up, and he fainted from fear.
The captain of the secret guard was stunned for a moment, never expecting Master Qu to be so careless.
He curled his lips and said "coward" before turning around and quickly following the team.
When Mrs. Qu was escorted out of Qu's Mansion, everyone on the street saw it. Everyone was curious about why the dignified fifth-grade Mrs. Qu was taken away by the imperial guards.
For a time, all kinds of rumors were rampant!
Mrs. Qu was escorted directly to the palace.
Qu Xinyue leaned lazily on the beauty's couch, enjoying the carefully peeled nuts handed to her by her personal maid. How could she feel any stomach discomfort?
Mrs. Qu, who had just been escorted in front of Qu Xinyue, her eyes widened suddenly, feeling unwilling and happy at the same time.
Qu Xinyue's stomach is fine, doesn't Qu Xinyue have no reason to convict her?
Mrs. Qu suppressed the hatred in her heart and pretended to be calm and asked: "I wonder what mistake I made? Did you let the imperial concubine use this method to invite my wife into the palace?"
Qu Xinyue raised her thick eyelashes, her eyes filled with coldness, and asked coldly.
"Then I would like to ask Madam Qu, what mistake did my mother make that you had to take her life?
What mistake did I make again? Have you lived a life inferior to that of a pig or a dog in Qu Mansion since you were a child?
What's wrong with the child in my belly that you need to poison him with medicine? "
Qu Xinyue's eyes were as sharp as knives, making Mrs. Qu dare not look directly at her.
Her eyes dodge and she refuses to acknowledge the answer: "My wife, I don't know what the noble concubine means?"
Qu Xinyue was cold and didn't expect Mrs. Qu to feel any regret, so she just asked the question she wanted to know most today.
"I want to know who gave you the medicinal powder? Whether you say it or not, I will find out sooner or later. But whether Mrs. Qu survives today depends on whether she can tell the truth."
