Chapter 180: Settled
Chonghua Hall is very luxurious, comparable to the queen's bedroom, not to mention all kinds of famous calligraphy and painting, gold and silver glass is indispensable, even the maid has gold and silver.
The palace maid outside walked in from outside with small steps.
"Concubine Niangniang, the queen has moved outside the palace, and asked Niangniang to go out to pick up the car."
Xiao Guifei's movements were slightly stagnant, squinting her eyes slightly, Chu Qing had never been to Chonghua Palace: "Heh, seeing that I am pregnant, I can't bear to come in a hurry?" β
"Niangniang, Queen Fengyi, don't be lazy.
Xiao Guifei didn't have the slightest respect, only glanced coldly: "Since she is here, let her wait outside, and when I want to see her, I will go to see her." β
The palace maid below stood in place, hesitating, in a dilemma.
"Confused things, tell the queen that the palace is uncomfortable." Xiao Guifei said angrily.
The palace maid hurriedly pounded garlic, and after going out, she said to the queen: "Back to the queen, our mother has recently been pregnant with a dragon heir, so she is unwell, and now she is uncomfortable, please go back to the queen first, and when our mother is better, she will naturally go to the meeting." β
Chu Qing couldn't understand the meaning of these words, but she didn't say anything.
"In that case, it doesn't hurt to wait here for a while now. Go get a chair for Hongu. β
Chu Qing said coldly.
It was already late autumn, and the cold wind was blowing, Chu Qing straightened her back and sat there.
Seeing this, Nanping hurriedly put on a dress for Chu Qing, and Chu Qing stretched out his hand to block it: "No need." β
After waiting for an hour, there was still no movement in the Chonghua Palace.
"She's still waiting outside?" After Xiao Guifei had eaten and drunk enough, she asked.
"Yes, sissy."
Xiao Guifei waved her hand: "That's it, you go and invite the queen in." β
Originally, she wanted to continue to make things difficult for her, but after thinking about the child in her belly, she still wanted to accumulate some blessings for the child in her belly.
When Chu Qing came in, the tips of his fingers were already cold. But she wasn't angry.
Concubine Xiao Guifei was still leaning there, and when she saw Chu Qing's calm face, she suddenly felt bored: "It's so boring, it turns out that the queen mother won't be angry at all." β
"You all go down, no one is allowed to come in if you hear any movement without the orders of this palace."
The palace maids secretly glanced at Xiao Guifei, Xiao Guifei squinted her eyes slightly, tilted her chin, and glanced at Chu Qing with a haughty attitude, and then nodded.
The palace ladies hurriedly went down.
"I don't know what the queen mother has to say?"
"You're pregnant, you know?"
Xiao Guifei seemed to have heard a big joke: "I am pregnant myself, can I not know?" β
"I'll show you something."
Saying that, Chu Qing took out the spices.
Concubine Xiao Guifei looked at it: "Isn't this the spice that His Majesty sent over some time ago, recently, it is rare, but this palace thinks that this taste is excellent." β
Chu Qing sneered: "Do you think this tastes excellent?" β
At this time, Imperial Physician Shi stepped forward and said: "There is a musk ingredient in this spice, Your Majesty, I don't want to have children in the harem." β
"Presumptuous, it's complete nonsense." Concubine Xiao immediately told him to stop. She turned her head and said to Chu Qing again, "What tricks do you want to play?"
What the hell do you wantβ"
The more Xiao Guifei spoke, the more angry she became, her face was not very good, and she raised her hand to hit someone, but Chu Qingyi grabbed her wrist.
Chu Qing held her wrist and walked forward step by step, until Concubine Xiao had no way to retreat, her tone was very unkind.
"I want to harm your child? Do you think you would have been able to get pregnant if I hadn't asked people to take the spices out? From now on, if you want to protect your child, you must listen to me from now on. β
"Why should I trust you?"
"If you don't believe me, you just go to Your Majesty to make trouble, Your Majesty has already become wary of the Xiao family, if you make trouble, not only the child in your belly, but even the entire Xiao family will be in danger."
After finishing speaking, she let go of Xiao Guifei.
Xiao Guifei has always thought highly of herself, how could she believe her words.
But her words left a shadow of doubt in Xiao Guifei's heart after all.
Chu Qing almost died of anger when she walked out of it.
"Nanping, quietly go and look at Concubine Xiao."
After Chu Qing finished speaking, he exhaled deeply.
What she should have said has already been said, if Concubine Xiao is obsessed, then the Xiao family's death is not a pity, but the child in her belly is really...
"Queen Mother, that Concubine Xiao's child is not your mother after all, why don't you want a child of your own with Your Majesty?"
Nanping couldn't help but ask.
"Do you think Hongu doesn't want to? This kind of thing can't be forced, Your Majesty rarely comes to me, and the health of this palace is not good after I didn't have a child last time. β
When Chu Qing's mood was not very good when she said this, Nan Ping hurriedly comforted: "Don't be sad, it's all the slaves who are not good at making the mother unhappy." β
"Forget it, what are you guilty of, let's go back."
After Chu Qing left, Concubine Xiao Guifei stroked her stomach, and the first thing she had to do was naturally to investigate the specific ingredients of the spice.
But after the people under his hand investigated, it was exactly the same as what Chu Qing said.
Xiao Guifei's heart was panicked, according to what Chu Qing said, His Majesty didn't want this child, so what the hell would she...
She hurriedly went to find Chu Qing, and Chu Qing knew that she would definitely understand this matter.
"You can think clearly now that is the best, you didn't choose to go to the Xiao family, but came to me first, which can be regarded as preserving your Xiao family."
Now Concubine Xiao will no longer doubt her words: "You say, what do I need to do now to save my child's life?" β
"It's very simple, you don't need to worry too much about things outside, and you don't need to worry about it, as long as you don't see Your Majesty, Your Majesty naturally doesn't know your physical condition.
As for the fetal pills, don't drink them at all if your majesty sends them, I will have someone send them to you.
You live with me now, if you don't see Your Majesty, Your Majesty won't see you, and I'll take care of the rest. β
Chu Qing talked eloquently.
Xiao Guifei asked, "Are you really so kind to help me?" β
"I'm not helping you, I'm for His Majesty's children, you'd better be obedient during this time, otherwise, your family will be affected by you."
Xiao Guifei was successfully frightened by her words, and she was originally a fierce and inward-looking.
Since then, Chu Qing has detained her in the middle palace every day, and Concubine Xiao is also unclear about the affairs of the outside world, and she also refuses Yao Chi's idea of wanting to meet.
β¦β¦
And Zong Ze took Chu Jiao to the hill that he had marked before.
Chu Jiao was very careful all the way for fear that others would find out, and after arriving, she went directly to the nest.
directly locked up this group of people.
"This group of people is well watched, and then the nearby locations within a radius of ten miles must be searched carefully to avoid any fish that slip through the net."
After Chu Jiao came back, so many soldiers were lost, and Qin Shao also negotiated the conditions with Qing Han and brought the antidote back.
The soldiers received the antidote, and their bodies gradually improved.
"This time, you have made great contributions, I want to reward you something, you say, what do you want?"
Yao Chi is very happy, he has contributed a lot to the successful resolution of this matter.
Zong Ze knelt on the ground, the injuries on his body were not good, after hearing Yao Chi's words, his heart had a lot of waves: "The minister has nothing to think, as long as he can help His Majesty, it is the blessing of the minister." β
"You don't have to be so humble, you have a lot to do with it.
You are the one I must reward. β
Yao Chi bent his eyebrows slightly, wearing a bright yellow robe, looking like a bright gentleman.
"Then, the minister's greatest wish now is to be able to go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the motherland."
Zong Ze silently recited the princess's name ten thousand times in his heart, but he controlled his thoughts.
He's just a little soldier, how can he be by her side.
If she goes into battle to kill the enemy, maybe one day she will be able to give her a sideways look.
"Good. Since you have this heart, you can go to the border to temper it.
I won't hand over the military power of the border to you right away, depending on your performance. β
Saying this means that Yao Chi agreed.
Zong Ze hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
Bidding farewell to Princess Qin, Zong Ze was reluctant but went to the border with hope.
Chu Jiao was also relieved, Qin Shao's people actually found traces of a thousand ghosts in the imperial city.
"Don't worry, I communicated with Luo Min before, and she will inform me as soon as there is news."
Chu Jiao comforted Qin Shao.
Qin Shao nodded, but he was still anxious in his heart, this feeling was inexplicable.
"Lord Qiyu, princess, the emperor of the Li Dynasty is here, and he is also bringing Princess Zhaoyang."
When looking at Zhaoyang, there was already a small female doll by Zhaoyang's side.
Chu Jiao couldn't put it down when she saw it, hugged it in her arms, and looked at the female doll's eyes as big as a porcelain doll, her skin was white and red, and she kept looking at Chu Jiao.
"What's her name? It seems, can't speak yet? How do you take a child to travel and drive? β
Chu Jiao gently held her in her arms and shook her gently.
"She's not even two years old, she hasn't taken her name yet, her nickname is Yangyang, the main reason is that the child can't leave the two of us now, and whoever leaves us will cry a lot."
Zhaoyang said helplessly, but the smile and happiness in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Chu Jiao teased the female doll, and Yang Yang actually giggled.
Chu Jiao's face was also dyed with a smile, she didn't expect the child to be so cute.
Qin Shao and a few men looked at her appearance of being so enthusiastic about the child, and they could somewhat understand Chu Jiao's feelings.
And Qin Shao was more guilty.
"Such a cute female doll, you need to stay a few more days."
Chu Jiao raised her eyes and found that several people's eyes were on her, and she was a little embarrassed for a while.
