If this incident causes a chain reaction and hurts Xiao Shujun, it will not be good.

So he persuaded: "Your Majesty, why don't you wait for those concubines to get better, if you choose a concubine so hastily, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

Hearing Qin Kexin say this, Xiao Shujun really had some more concerns, after all, those disturbing ministers couldn't help but take it into account......

If Xiao Shujun really chose a concubine so hastily, then the ministers who recommended those who were unsuccessful would definitely continue to let Xiao Shujun accept concubines on the grounds of unfairness.

Instead of listening to their nagging in his ear, Xiao Shujun still chose to complete the selection of concubines at one time this time, not wanting to let those ministers have a chance to take advantage of it.

"Then according to what the queen said, after a few days, those women who suffer from heat stroke will be good, and it will not be too late for me to choose a concubine."

Hearing this, Qin Kexin and Su Lianrong both breathed a sigh of relief.

But Xu Qingran saw that the situation did not go as she expected, and couldn't help but secretly scold Qin Kexin for getting in the way, but at this time, she didn't dare to say anything, she was already very suspicious, and it would be bad if she said the wrong thing again to arouse some suspicion.

"Niangniang, how are you going to investigate this matter?" Back at Soft Fragrance Garden, Yu'er asked Qin Kexin.

"Based on the intuition of this palace, this matter must be related to Concubine Qing, but there is no evidence, you first go and investigate what the grandmothers said today about Concubine Qing sending herbal tea." Qin Kexin knew that this was the only breakthrough in this matter.

"Okay, the slave will go and check." Yu'er received an order to rush to investigate.

On the other side, Xu Qingran was extremely angry, returned to Qinghui Garden, immediately retreated from the deserted appearance outside, and began to smash things indiscriminately.

"Niang Niang is angry, Niang Niang is angry." Qing'er comforted Xu Qingran while cleaning up the things Xu Qingran threw on the ground.

After a long while, Xu Qingran was tired and calmed down, "How did you handle it over there?" ”

Qing'er knew that Xu Qingran was referring to the evidence of the crime, so she said: "Don't worry, the slave has already disposed of the bowl with the problematic herbal tea, and the imperial doctor has already bought it, so the queen will not find out about us." ”

After listening to what Qing'er said, Xu Qingran breathed a sigh of relief, now it is impossible to stop His Majesty from choosing a good-looking woman as a concubine, and it is the right thing not to let what he did be exposed.

Sure enough, because they handled the evidence cleanly, Yu'er didn't find anything.

"It's Yu'er's incompetence." Yu'er, who didn't find any evidence, was a little remorseful.

"Hugh wants to say this, it must be that they have been prepared for a long time before you can't find out, and this palace will think of other ways to do this." Qin Kexin kindly comforted Yu'er, knowing that it must be a little difficult to find out about this matter.

Yu'er was relieved a lot after Qin Kexin's comfort.

"By the way, what happened to the women who suffered from heat stroke?" Qin Kexin still thought that she had to let Xiao Shujun choose a concubine as soon as possible, so as not to change later.

"This slave has gone to see it deliberately, although those women are fine, but they all look listless, I'm afraid it will take two or three days to get better."

Qin Kexin frowned when he heard this, thinking to himself that if it was just an ordinary heat stroke, how could it not heal for so long? Qin Kexin further confirmed that those women were definitely not suffering from heat stroke.

In any case, this matter must be investigated.

Xiao Shujun returned to Soft Xiangyuan in the evening, and Qin Kexin proposed to Xiao Shujun that the selection of a concubine would be carried out three days later.

"It's all up to the Queen." In the affairs of the harem, Xiao Shujun didn't have the energy to intervene, so he could only hand it over to Qin Kexin.

Hearing this, Qin Kexin smirked: "Although the concubine is happy that Your Majesty is not interested in the matter of accepting a concubine, Your Majesty can't be so distracted!" made the concubines feel that His Majesty was pretending. ”

"Nonsense, how can I be pretending? Besides the queen, which woman have I ever had a crush on? Xiao Shujun really caught the opportunity to talk about love, which made Qin Kexin's heart warm.

Seeing that Qin Kexin was happy, Xiao Shujun asked the doubts in his heart: "Isn't the queen unhappy when I choose those ugly women, why do you want to stop me?" ”

Qin Kexin was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she didn't expect Xiao Shujun to ask so directly, but Qin Kexin still replied calmly: "First, the concubines are really worried that the ministers will not be satisfied, and second, the concubines don't want someone in the harem to do anything in the dark."

Third, is the concubine so unconfident in herself? Do you have to choose some ugly women to feel at ease? Even if His Majesty chooses all the beauties of the country, the minister is confident that His Majesty will not change his mind! ”

Xiao Shujun likes Qin Kexin's appearance as a confident woman who takes care of the overall situation, the corners of her mouth curl into a good-looking arc, and she dotes: "What the queen said is that in my heart, no matter how beautiful or ugly other women are, they can't compare to my queen!" ”

Chapter 246: Self-defeating

Qin Kexin was blushed by Xiao Shujun again, and quickly changed the topic: "Then what do the ministers say about this matter today?" ”

"The ministers naturally think that I am very correct in postponing the choice of concubines, rather than hastily choosing concubines, and this is not all thanks to the queen, the queen is really my little think tank." Xiao Shujun is really a boastful Qin Kexin who has changed the law.

"The think tank is a lot of people, how can a concubine be called a group by herself?" Qin Kexin said coquettishly.

Xiao Shujun noticed Qin Kexin's embarrassment, but he still deliberately used words to provoke people: "For me, it is enough to have a queen alone!" ”

Qin Kexin really couldn't stand it now, "When did Your Majesty learn so many rhetoric?" ”

Xiao Shujun laughed heartily when he heard this, and only Qin Kexin could make the always serious Xiao Shujun laugh so happily, Xiao Shujun actually walked directly to Qin Kexin's side, hugged Qin Kexin horizontally, and then looked down at the person in his arms and whispered.

"I only say these words to the queen, and if the queen likes it, I will continue to say it to you in bed." As he spoke, he hugged Qin Kexin and walked to the bed.

Although Qin Kexin was accustomed to Xiao Shujun's habit of hugging people, Qin Kexin still couldn't stand Xiao Shujun's sweet offensive, so she could only bury her head in Xiao Shujun's arms shyly.

I thought that this serious man on weekdays was so sultry when he talked about coaxing love, and his legs were weak.

Qin Kexin let Xiao Shujun carry herself to the bed, and after a lot of clouds and rain, Qin Kexin was not so shy, she was stunned and pestered Xiao Shujun to say love words in the middle of the night, Xiao Shujun was naturally willing, and even used these love words to directly coax Qin Kexin to sleep.

Early the next morning, after Xiao Shujun got up early to go to court, Qin Kexin was eating alone and was almost thinking about how to investigate the events of the previous few days, when the grandmother of that day came to ask to see her.

"Call her in." Qin Kexin had a hunch that this grandmother was here to provide evidence, but she didn't dare to slack off.

"Queen Mother, the slave and maid observed a detail that day, but because of the presence of the Qing concubine, the slave and maid did not dare to say it...... Please don't blame the queen! Sure enough, as Qin Kexin expected, this grandmother is here to provide clues.

"This palace can understand your fear of offending Concubine Qing at that time, and it's not too late to say it now." Of course, Qin Kexin would not blame.

Hearing this, this grandmother dared to speak: "Queen Qiyu, when the slave maid was inspecting those women that day, she found that Concubine Qing's maidservant Qing'er was standing aside for a long time, and it seemed that she wanted to send herbal tea.

But she didn't move, she kept observing the queue of those women, and even placed the order of the herbal tea held by the palace maid behind her, the slave didn't think much about it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, there must be something strange, and after the imperial doctor came, she directly diagnosed those women as heat stroke without much examination. ”

Qin Kexin listened to Mama's report, thought about it carefully, and thought about the cause and effect of this matter, and suddenly realized!

"What you said about the palace is clear, it's a very useful clue, Yu'er, lead Mama to receive the reward!" Qin Kexin felt that this kind of person who dared to tell the truth should be rewarded.

"Mama come with me." Yu'er walked ahead.

Hearing that she still had a reward, the grandmother was very happy and followed Yu'er away.

Leaving Qin Kexin thinking about his next move.

Before, Yu'er said that the clues of herbal tea were gone, and Qin Kexin had no way to continue to investigate, but now after the reminder of the grandmother just now, Qin Kexin remembered that there was still a certification.

Those palace maids and imperial doctors who placed herbal tea were all certified, but those palace maids must be from Qinghui Yuan, Qin Kexin was not easy to investigate, and the imperial doctors were different.

Qin Kexin first ordered other imperial doctors to re-diagnose those women, and the conclusion was that it was not heat stroke, but the use of a plant called soft spirit grass, which made the mind coma and the body paralyzed, and this soft spirit grass happened to be placed in herbal tea to have this effect.

Qin Kexin was already sure in her heart that this matter was what Xu Qingran did, and in order to further affirm, Qin Kexin announced that the imperial doctor who was diagnosed that day.

Those imperial doctors were all more professional in treating heat stroke, and Xu Qingran must have calculated that the imperial hospital would send them to diagnose those women who seemed to be suffering from heat stroke, so he bought them in advance.

"Still not telling the truth? If you tell the truth, this palace may hide it for you, but if you don't say it, Your Majesty will immediately know about it, and the seriousness of the crime of bullying the king, you know. ”

Hearing Qin Kexin say this, those imperial doctors really panicked, and finally told the truth and the truth.

"The queen mother, please take the lives of the officials, don't tell Your Majesty about this matter." Those imperial doctors have already collapsed to the ground, the crime of bullying the king is a big crime of killing the head, why are they not afraid?

"This palace said that as long as you tell the truth, this palace will help you keep it secret, you go back first, but if you do anything wrong in the future, this palace will never bypass you!" Qin Kexin has always been a person who believes in his word, and he will never deceive others with such things.

Seeing Qin Kexin say this, the imperial doctors were already thankful, "Don't worry, the queen's mother, the officials will never do it again." ”

After speaking, he ran out of the soft incense garden in a gloomy manner.

How could Xiao Shujun not know about Qin Kexin's actions, but Xiao Shujun never interfered.
