() Two hours ago......

"Mother."

In the gloomy harem dormitory, Concubine Shu was sitting alone on the bed eating the fruit peeled by the servant.

"What's wrong?"

Concubine Shu raised her eyes impatiently and saw that it was the head of the harem affairs.

"Niangniang, recently, there have been some rumors outside, I don't know you...... Haven't you heard of it? ”

"The wind?" Concubine Shu sneered, she hadn't seen any strong winds and waves, it was nothing more than a few idle maidservants who were talking nonsense there.

"Yes, sis, do you remember...... The Imperial Doctor in the dungeon? ”

"I remember." Concubine Shu frowned, it seemed that things were not as simple as she imagined, "The one who treated the queen back then?" ”

"Exactly." Manager Chen glanced around, and when he saw that there were no outsiders around, he stepped forward and motioned for those palace people to go down.

The mother also understood, waved her hand, and drove a few people out.

"Niangniang, I heard that the crown princess was locked up there."

Gonggong Chen said with a mysterious face, "You know, this Yin Qingqi has always been a lot of nosy, if it weren't for her, Concubine Liang would not have died, besides, you know that the prince is now obsessed with this little goblin......"

"Yin Qingqi ......" Concubine Shu calculated, last time Concubine Liang was arrested, Concubine Shu was also present, so she naturally knew it in her heart.

"What is the attitude of the prince?" Concubine Shu raised her eyes and asked.

"Because the prince knew that Yin Qingqi was arrested and put in prison, you know, Yin Qingqi disappeared for a few days before, and was later found in the dungeon, the prince was furious, so he naturally wanted to go to Dali Temple to investigate." Chen Gonggong reported.

"It's a bit of a hassle." Concubine Shu's eyes were cold.

"You know, the last time the queen died......"

Concubine Shu stared at Gonggong Chen tightly, Gonggong Chen only felt a chill on his back, his hair stood on end, his whole scalp was numb, he was stunned, and his body couldn't move.

"That time, it was the medicine you took yourself!"

Gonggong Chen took two steps back, and his body staggered and almost fell.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, you can't talk nonsense, it's obvious that you asked the slave to put the packet of medicinal powder into the medicine made by the imperial doctor......"

Gonggong Chen looked at Concubine Shu incredulously, obviously not expecting her to come to such a play.

"Huh." Concubine Shu smiled, with a cunning on her face that had never been seen before

。 "You don't have to worry, the reason why I say this is nothing more than to let you know in your heart, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and besides, the crown prince is now busy fighting for the throne with the sixth elder brother, and he has no intention of caring about anything else."

"You know, no one can get out of the affairs of the year, do you think that if one day, the crown prince succeeds to the throne and I am implicated, you can still be fine?"

"That's what the lady said." Gonggong Chen nodded again and again, "That Niangniang, what should you do if you look at this matter?" ”

"What should I do?" There was a murderous intent in Concubine Shu's eyes.

"Hurry up and go to Dali Temple, find a reason, and get rid of that imperial doctor."

This is also what Concubine Shu did after careful consideration.

Many years ago, the queen was already terminally ill, and the emperor naturally knew in his heart, no matter what kind of miracle doctor, I am afraid it would be difficult to cure his illness, so he left the imperial doctor alive, firstly, because his medical skills are really superb, and secondly, it is also for his own accidents, he may still be able to help.

But the emperor never thought that the person he left in the dungeon had always been a pimple in the hearts of Concubine Shu and others, bothering them for decades.

Half an hour passed.

Inside the Qingmu Palace.

Yin Qingqi was frightened just now, and he just looked a little better.

But the scene of Gonggong Chen coming to Qingmu Palace with a group of guards to arrest people still made Yin Qingqi startled.

"The crown princess." Gonggong Chen stepped forward and respectfully saluted Yin Qingqi.

"You are?"

Yin Qingqi squinted her eyes and recognized, she really didn't remember the existence of such a person in her memory.

"Are you Gonggong Chen of the harem?"

After searching for a while, Yin Qingqi finally had some impressions of the person in front of him.

"Gonggong Chen is here with such a large number of people this time, but what's the matter?" Yin Qingqi glanced at it, all the guards were expressionless, with a serious face, and the guards in his palace were also confronting their people.

Gonggong Chen raised his eyes with a look of pride.

"It's really inappropriate to disturb the crown princess this time......"

"However, this time it was Concubine Shu's order, and the slave had to obey, but I still have to work for you."

"What if I say no?" Yin Qingqi frowned, she was extremely disgusted with the arrogant and domineering appearance of the harem. "What can you do with me?"

"The mother laughed." Gonggong Chen smiled, "You are the quasi-crown princess, and the old slave naturally can't do anything to you."

It's just that the king's order is violated, and I hope that the mother can bear with me. ”

"Monarch's order?" Yin Qingqi sneered, "When will Concubine Shuniang be able to represent the emperor's meaning?" ”

"Mother, it seems that you don't know something."

Gonggong Chen was not angry, but had a kind face.

"Since the emperor is sick, all the affairs of the harem are taken care of by the concubine, don't look at it, although the prince manages the government, this harem is different from other places."

"What's more, there are some rumors in the harem now, and Niangniang is doing this in order to eliminate misunderstandings as soon as possible, so as not to affect the majesty of the royal family."

"Rumors?" Yin Qingqi was startled at first, and then suddenly understood.

It seems that someone deliberately took the old lady away, and then took this opportunity to embarrass himself in order to blackmail Qi Yuan.

And Yin Qingqi was also a little shaken.

Although he was not interested in the battle between Qi Yuan and Sixth Elder Brother, he was still unwilling to drag Qi Yuan down.

In a sense, Qi Yuan doesn't owe him anything, but he doesn't want to admit it deep down, and if he causes trouble for Qi Yuan because of himself, it will make Yin Qingqi feel even more guilty.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Yin Qingqi waved his hand and called the peony over.

"Peony, if the prince asks, he will say that I went to the harem."

Now is not the time to play with a child's temper, blindly going against Concubine Shu will only make his situation more difficult.

"Niangniang, don't ......" Peony's expression was a little anxious, she naturally knew that the harem was full of women, and it was full of battles.

"I'm fine."

Yin Qingqi smiled and shook his head. "I really don't believe that Concubine Shu dares to do anything to me in front of so many people, and Qi Yuan refuses to agree."

After speaking, Yin Qingqi followed Gonggong Chen and entered the harem.

The harem was a quiet and peaceful scene.

As soon as Yin Qingqi entered the courtyard, he saw a huge incense altar with three evenly burned sandalwood sticks.

"I don't know that Concubine Shu believes in Buddhism and eats fasting."

Yin Qingqi looked at it coldly, but she didn't expect that a person like Concubine Shu, who did a lot of evil, would still recite Buddhism, which is really ironic.

"The crown princess doesn't know anything." Gonggong Chen replied, "Concubine Shuniang has always maintained this custom and prayed for the emperor's blessings. ”

Yin Qingqi was silent and did not talk.
