Chapter 131 The Emperor's Favored Concubine is Heartbroken (27)

As soon as Ye Junhong left, Shen Qingjiao immediately called Zhu Ling to prepare hot water.

She was now sticky all over and felt very uncomfortable.

The system sighed quietly, "Host, you are really desperate. In order to overthrow the queen, you even poisoned yourself."

"Ah? What are you thinking about?"

Shen Qingjiao laughed dumbly, "Why would I use such a stupid trick that hurts the enemy by a thousand but hurts myself by eight hundred?"

This time it was the system's turn to not understand, and argued, "Host, if you didn't take poison, why would your body bleed?"

Shen Qingjiao smiled and said, "I just took some medicine to bring the day forward."

The system was stunned for several seconds before it understood what Shen Qingjiao said. It was dumbfounded and said, "In other words, the blood flowing from the host is menstrual blood!"

Shen Qingjiao hummed calmly, "The medicine I took today can bring forward my menstrual period, and the previous medicine was to create a false pulse for a short period of time to make me look pregnant."

The system was deeply impressed by Shen Qingjiao's brilliant idea, and said with emotion, "The host's methods are brilliant. I am convinced and ashamed of myself!"

Shen Qingjiao chuckled and said nothing.

After bathing in the side hall, she felt dry and refreshed, and her mood improved a lot, so she went to the courtyard to play with the cat.

Suddenly, a nimble figure jumped over the high wall and flashed into the palace, scaring Shen Qingjiao so much that she almost screamed.

"It's me." Huo Haochu said quickly.

Shen Qingjiao was still in shock, and gritted her teeth and said angrily, "If the general hadn't spoken, I would have thought there were thieves in the imperial city!"

Huo Haochu looked at her pale and bloodless face and his heart sank.

A moment ago, he passed by a corner and heard three or five palace servants whispering.

Huo Haochu had no intention of eavesdropping, but he vaguely heard the three words "Noble Concubine Shen", which aroused his curiosity. He used all his ears to listen, and was shocked by what those people said.

It turned out that the baby in Concubine Shen’s belly was killed by the Queen!

At that time, he was filled with mixed feelings.

The first thought that came to my mind was, how painful would that witch be to lose her child?

He wanted to say something to comfort her so that she would feel better.

So, Huo Haochu took advantage of the fact that no one was outside and sneaked into Yongshou Palace.

But just now, he saw Shen Qingjiao laughing and teasing a cat in the courtyard, which made him feel even more upset, as he thought she must be forcing a smile.

"My queen, don't be too sad. It's not good for your health. Go to bed early. If you can't fall asleep, take some tranquilizers."

Huo Haochu didn't know how to comfort a woman who had suffered the pain of losing a child, and he spoke stutteringly, but Shen Qingjiao could clearly feel the concern in his words.

"Thank you General for your words of comfort," she thanked him softly.

Then, she casually said something earth-shattering, "In fact, I have never been pregnant from the beginning to the end."

After hearing this, Huo Haochu didn't believe it at all.

He also thought that Shen Qingjiao was too sad about the loss of her child and her mind was confused.

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Shen Qingjiao smiled slightly, "General, do you still remember that I asked you to get some medicine outside a few days ago?"

Huo Haochu nodded, but he still didn't know what the connection was between medicinal herbs and these things?

"I understand pharmacology, so I can mix two decoctions from those herbs. One can create a false pregnancy pulse to deceive the imperial physician."

"The other is used to bring forward the menstrual period, so that others will think that the bleeding in my uterus today is due to miscarriage."

Shen Qingjiao did not hold back and revealed all of her previous plans.

Finally, she added, "I am not a good person. Everything I did was to overthrow the queen."

Huo Haochu remained silent.

Concubine Shen claimed that she was not a good person, but he himself was not a good person either, and he had no right to stand on his high ground and judge her behavior.

Before, when he heard that Concubine Shen was pregnant, he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

The day before yesterday, he finally figured it out.

It turns out that what he cares about is that Concubine Shen is pregnant with the Emperor's child!!!

At that moment, Huo Haochu realized that he had inappropriate thoughts about the emperor's concubines.

Once this thought came to his mind, it tormented him for a long time.

The Huo family has three generals and is deeply favored by the emperor. How could he be so ungrateful and covet the emperor's concubine?

Because of this, every time he patrolled to the gate of Yongshou Palace, he closed his eyes and rushed in one breath, not daring to stay for long.

He was afraid that after seeing her, he would fall deeper and deeper.

Until today, when Huo Haochu suddenly learned that Concubine Shen had lost her child, he was worried and came to see her.

Shen Qingjiao was a little confused when she saw Huo Haochu remained silent for a long time.

After a brief pause, she asked, "General, do you think I am scheming and scary?"

Huo Haochu finally woke up from his memories.

He shook his head and said firmly, "No, I think the Queen has brought this upon herself. If the Queen had no intention of harming the Queen, she would not have fallen into the trap set by the Queen."

Hearing this, Shen Qingjiao smiled sweetly, like the pink peach blossoms swaying in the wind on the branches, making people intoxicated.

"Thank you for your understanding, General. As a token of my gratitude, I will provide you with free medical consultation. How about that?"

Huo Haochu wanted to refuse, but his actions were faster than his brain, and the next moment, his hand had already reached out.

After he reacted, he was stunned for a few seconds.

He knew very well that if he took his hand back now, it would be too disrespectful to Concubine Shen.

Huo Haochu could only sigh slightly and roll up his sleeves resignedly.

Shen Qingjiao stretched out three fingers, placed them on Huo Haochu's wrist, held her breath, and examined it carefully.

Huo Haochu's breathing stagnated again.

The woman's slender hands were as white and delicate as a finely carved jade, and she touched his broad, rough, wheat-colored arms with bulging veins without any hesitation.

An ambiguous atmosphere floats gently in the dark night.

After a few breaths, Shen Qingjiao withdrew her hand.

She smiled and looked at Huo Haochu, "General, you are as strong as an ox, and you have no hidden injuries, but you are a little irritable. I will prescribe some medicine for you. You only need to take it for two days, and you will sleep better at night and not have frequent dreams."

Huo Haochu's face suddenly turned red, but fortunately it was dark and not easily noticed.

He hesitated for a moment, wondering if the woman opposite him was hinting at something.

Ever since he met this witch, the anger in his body has indeed become more intense. He often dreams of this witch at night and has some absurd dreams.

In the dream, her charming and seductive beauty completely destroyed the self-control that he was so proud of.

Thinking of the beautiful spring scenery in his dream again, Huo Haochu's desire arose again, and he quickly forced himself to think about something else to divert his attention.

However, this reminded him of something serious.

Huo Haochu took out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket, handed it to Shen Qingjiao, and said, "This is the profit of Zuixianlou after deducting the cost in the past month."

After Shen Qingjiao took it, she counted it and found that there were 45,000 taels of silver notes. She was surprised and said, "The money earned is much more than I expected."

After all, in ancient times, if a restaurant could make a profit of one thousand taels a month, it was considered a good profit.

And Zuixianlou actually earned more than 40,000 taels in one month.

Huo Haochu explained with a smile, "The dishes provided by the Empress are novel and unique, and the taste is extremely delicious. Therefore, the dignitaries in the capital are keen to entertain guests at Zuixianlou."

"The restaurant is always packed. Some wealthy guests are willing to spend a fortune to reserve a private room in advance. Therefore, the restaurant's daily revenue is very considerable."

Shen Qingjiao nodded.

She thought for a moment, took out a 15,000 tael silver note, and handed it to Huo Haochu, "This is my dividend to the general, please accept it."
