The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

"I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me and give me a chance for the sake of our cousin relationship. The Queen cannot have children, but I can. I am young and in good health, and I will definitely be able to give birth to a prince for Your Majesty." Concubine Qi looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, with a hint of pleading in her voice.

Feng An, who was standing by, was stunned. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Concubine Qi in disbelief.

Is this noble lady Qi so bold? She actually dared to slander the queen for being infertile in front of the emperor. Isn't she afraid of losing her head?

Xiao Chengxu raised his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. He pinched Concubine Qi's chin and said viciously: "Get out of here! You dare to dream of getting pregnant with a dragon seed? You are not even as good as the queen's finger, what qualifications do you have to be compared with the queen! I might as well tell you clearly that no matter whether it is a prince or a princess, it is impossible for Concubine Qi to come out of your belly. How capable do you think you are? Can you give birth to children for me by climbing onto my dragon bed? Impossible, you will never be able to give birth in your life."

Concubine Qi's face turned pale as paper in an instant, her lips trembled uncontrollably, and she couldn't say a word. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. How could the emperor say such a thing?

The emperor said it was impossible. Could it be that she was the one who was infertile?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Concubine Qi felt dizzy and as if the whole world was collapsing.

But Doctor Zhang clearly said that she was in good health and had no problems.

Xiao Chengxu didn't bother to care about how much shock his words had caused in Concubine Qi's heart. He waved his hand and Concubine Qi was immediately dragged away. According to his orders, she was directly sent to the Ministry of Punishment.

"What are you standing there for? Go and get the imperial physician." Xiao Chengxu shouted angrily.

Feng An quickly said, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is on the way."

Hearing this, Xiao Chengxu suppressed his anger, sat on the edge of the bed, closed his eyes, and began to rest, quietly waiting for the arrival of the imperial physician.

In Kunning Palace, Xie Yaoqing had already fallen asleep peacefully, but was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.

Xie Yaoqing sat up from the bed with an unhappy look on her face. She had a stern face and an extremely cold expression. She said unhappily, "Why are you arguing so late at night? If you want to argue, get out of here and argue with me."

Nanny Fang said anxiously, "Your Majesty, there's news from the Palace of Heavenly Purity that something has happened to the Emperor."

Xie Yaoqing snorted coldly and said indifferently: "Is he dead?"

Nanny Fang was obviously shocked by her master's words. She widened her eyes, opened her mouth slightly, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

After all, such words were too abrupt and could be said to be extremely disrespectful to the emperor.

However, Xie Yaoqing didn't need Nanny Fang's answer at all, as she already had the answer in her heart. Because if the emperor really passed away, according to the palace rules, the funeral bell would be rung to express condolences, and the news would be spread quickly. But at this moment, she didn't hear the sound of the funeral bell, which meant that Xiao Chengxu was still alive, at least not yet.

If Xiao Chengxu was gone, as the head of the harem, Xie Yaoqing would need to take charge of the situation. But since he was still safe, it had nothing to do with her. Xie Yaoqing had no psychological pressure at all. She frowned impatiently and turned around to lie down and sleep.

However, the Qianqing Palace sent people to invite again and again. Nanny Fang and others didn't know what happened. They all looked solemn and uneasy, fearing that something serious had happened. So they all persuaded Xie Yaoqing to go to the Qianqing Palace to find out what happened.

Xie Yaoqing was unable to sleep because of the noise, and after being persuaded by them again and again, she had no choice but to get up, yawning and walking towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity with sleepy eyes.

When she arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, she saw that the palace was brightly lit and the atmosphere was extremely solemn. The guards, palace maids, and eunuchs were all visibly nervous, standing still like wooden sticks. When they saw Xie Yaoqing coming, they saluted in a hurry with stiff movements.

Feng An felt as if he had seen a savior coming, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He hurried forward and said in a low voice: "Empress, you are finally here. The Emperor..."

In just a few words, Feng'an explained the whole cause and effect of the matter clearly and plainly.

After Xie Yaoqing finished listening, she sighed softly, secretly sighing that Concubine Qi was so brave that she dared to drug Xiao Chengxu, but this move was really stupid, it was really stupid. The struggle in the palace was originally treacherous and undercurrents, but Concubine Qi's move directly put the struggle on the table, not only bringing disaster to herself, but also causing an uproar in the harem.

This time, she gave the emperor a love potion to win his favor. If everyone in the palace followed suit in the future and gave him poison, wouldn't that be considered murdering the emperor? If she committed such a heinous crime of regicide, I'm afraid the whole family would be implicated and suffer a devastating disaster.

Entering the palace, Xie Yaoqing looked up and saw that besides Xiao Chengxu, there were several other imperial doctors standing by. Xiao Chengxu showed an undisguised joy, and he could not wait to get up from the dragon couch, walked towards Xie Yaoqing, and said, "My dear..."

However, Xie Yaoqing took a few steps aside with a look of disgust, and waved his hand, signaling Xiao Chengxu to stop, "Your Majesty, don't come over, just stand there."

Xiao Chengxu's enthusiasm was instantly poured with a basin of ice water, and he felt chilled from head to toe, from body to heart.

Xie Yaoqing randomly pointed to an imperial physician and asked indifferently, "How is the emperor's health now?"

The imperial doctors looked at each other in confusion. The one who was named lowered his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, there is Huanqingsan in the emperor's body, which is an aphrodisiac. If you want to remove it, there are only two ways. One is to use cold water, and the other is..."

Everyone present knew what the second one was.

The imperial doctors all felt that this was not a big deal. After all, if the emperor wanted to cure the love potion, all he needed was the empress.

Considering the love between the Emperor and the Empress, they would definitely not choose the first method.

However, they all thought they were wrong.

Without thinking, Xie Yaoqing turned around and ordered Feng An, "Why don't you do as the imperial physician says? Prepare cold water, preferably ice water as well."

The doctors were stunned. They seemed to have heard something unbelievable. They were actually planning to use the first method? Obviously, the second method was more convenient and quicker. It only required...

But they dared not say anything more and could only bow their heads and remain silent.

Xiao Chengxu's body shook violently several times, as if a gust of wind swept through him. There was endless scarlet in his eyes, his face was as gray as death, and he looked in disbelief, with hurt eyes fixed on Xie Yaoqing.

Xie Yaoqing narrowed her eyes slightly, with a faint smile on her lips, and said softly: "Your Majesty, if you really don't want to wrong yourself and soak in the icy cold water, why don't you let me find a few concubines to serve you. I believe they will be ecstatic. Having the opportunity to serve the emperor is something they have always dreamed of."

There was a hint of sarcasm and provocation in her words, as if she was deliberately trying to anger the emperor in front of her.
