If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

Chapter 309 Xia Qian was dealt with

The emperor was already in a bad mood before the banquet was over. He covered his forehead, said he was drunk, and left the table.

However, the emperor's departure did not affect others' mood. No matter the queen, Concubine Hua, or Lingrong, they were all in a good mood. Seeing that the banquet ended so anticlimactic, Lingrong couldn't help but want to laugh. The emperor was a man who valued respectability so much, but now he had lost all his respectability.

Back in the Yangxin Palace, the emperor paced back and forth in the palace, so he arranged for Su Peisheng to investigate. Why did Concubine Hua's Huanyixiang fail? Why did she get pregnant? He even arranged for Xia Qian to squat in the Yikun Palace to observe Concubine Hua's movements, and of course there was also the Nian Mansion outside the palace. The emperor was so afraid of Nian Gengyao, how could he forget him at such an important moment?

Although Zhen Huan didn't know what was going on, it didn't stop her from taking advantage of the situation. Regardless of her past and present lives, she had been suffering as Concubine Hua for a long time.

Zhen Huan quietly called Xiao Yunzi over and instructed, "Xiao Yunzi, go and quietly deal with Xia Qian. He is probably near the Yikun Palace now."

Xiao Yunzi looked at Zhen Huan and nodded slightly as if she had confirmed some signal. She lowered her head and left without saying anything.

Xia Ke was from the Sticking Rod Department, and he led the people from the Sticking Rod Department to handle shady matters for the emperor. Zhen Huan knew that the emperor would definitely send Xia Ke to keep an eye on Concubine Hua and collect evidence or forge evidence for him. If Xia Ke died at this time, the emperor's suspicion of Concubine Hua would definitely reach its peak.

The banquet was over and everyone went back home. General Nian finally sent a message asking to see the empress.

"Empress, what's going on?" General Nian had not received any news from Concubine Hua since the last letter. Even when he delivered a message to the palace, Concubine Hua did not send out any useful information. How come she was suddenly pregnant?

"Brother, I'm fine. I finally fulfilled my long-cherished dream!"

"But..." General Nian was very worried about his sister. From the emperor's look, he didn't want to have this child. He thought that if the royal family didn't want the child, it would definitely hurt his sister.

"There's no buts, brother. I know what you want to say. He is my life," Concubine Hua stroked her belly gently with a kind expression on her face, but her words were extremely cold.

"But, no matter what, the Queen is the most important." Yes, to General Nian, his sister is more important both emotionally and in terms of interests.

"Okay, brother. Don't worry about it. Keep your hands and feet clean recently and don't let anyone get hold of anything against you." After saying that, Concubine Hua took the sedan chair and went to Yikun Palace.

On the way, a young eunuch hurriedly came to Zhou Ninghai and whispered something in his ear.

Zhou Ninghai's expression changed immediately. He limped and hurried to catch up with the sedan chair. "Your Majesty, Xia Qian was hit with a brick and taken away outside the Yikun Palace."

"Xia Jian?" Concubine Hua was stunned when she heard this. Xia Jian was the head of the Sticking Rod Department. She was not surprised that he would appear in the Yikun Palace, but she was quite surprised that someone hit her with a brick.

"Yeah." Zhou Ninghai nodded solemnly. He was also very surprised. If something happened to Xia Qian, the emperor would definitely suspect Yikun Palace, and they would be in trouble.

"It's okay. I'm afraid someone is deliberately trying to cause trouble for us. But I also wanted to get rid of Xia Qie in the first place."

I have harvested five acres of corn at home. It rained in the middle of the night yesterday, and I got up in the middle of the night to pile the corn. I hadn't recovered yet in the morning, so I built a jianzi in the afternoon to store the corn. Maybe you don't know what jianzi is. It's the local dialect here. It means using wire mesh to make a cylinder and stand it up, and then pile corn inside. This way it is ventilated and convenient for storing corn.

Today I have to take my son to get vaccinated again. Taking care of a child is so tiring. I didn't sleep well last night and now I am exhausted. I suspect I have a nervous breakdown.
