Chapter Ninety-Three: Old Things
Seeing her frowning and very distressed, Qin Changqi couldn't help but reach out and smooth the wrinkles between her eyebrows, and then said softly, "Don't think about it, leave the matter to me." ”
Cheng Ge thought to himself, anyway, even if he couldn't figure it out, it was better to hand it over to Qin Changqi, he didn't know what kind of power he had now, and he didn't bother to ask. If he wants to say it to himself, he will say it without asking. If he doesn't want to say it now, it's useless to ask himself.
"You have a good rest here, I asked Fenghe to send a message to the capital, and we will go back later." Cheng Ge said softly while feeding him medicinal food, "Do you have anything you want to eat?" I'll do it for you. ”
Cheng Ge actually just asked casually, even if there is really anything you want to eat, there are still the cooks of the prefect's yamen.
"I want to eat the osmanthus glutinous rice cake you made." Qin Changqi looked at Cheng Ge's insincere appearance, and knew that she just wanted to comfort herself, so she said coquettishly, "It's the kind you made for Mo Ge'er last time." ”
Cheng Ge has a question mark on his face, he is already a father, how can he still love pastries so much? What about the domineering prince who said he was good? But now that he has said it, he can't regret it, so he can only nod.
"Why didn't you like to eat before?" Cheng Ge saw that the medicinal food had been eaten, so he put him back on the table and went to clean it up later.
"Probably people are the most vulnerable when they are sick." Qin Changqi took a long breath, as if he remembered the past, and said softly, "Do you know, my biological mother left me at this time twenty years ago. ”
Cheng Ge was stunned for a moment, although she knew that the current queen was not Qin Changqi's biological mother, but she hadn't heard anyone say anything about his biological mother before. The last time we had a heart-to-heart conversation, the two of them didn't mention it.
"You sit, I want to talk to you about her." There seemed to be a trace of pain in Qin Changqi's eyes, and Cheng Ge looked at him so fragile that he sat on the edge of the bed obediently and held his hands.
Qin Changqi's mother was the most popular concubine in the palace that year, although she was only in the concubine position, she was relatively kind. Not only did many palace maids and eunuchs like her very much, but even other concubines were also good friends with him. But perhaps it was such an honor that made the noble concubine, who was very favored in the family at that time, very angry.
So in normal times, the noble concubine is targeted everywhere, and others dare not speak out. After all, the noble concubine has a strong family background, which is not something that ordinary concubines can provoke, and the queen does not want to cause disputes, so there is basically no serious reprimand, just in the middle and mud.
"Doesn't the emperor know?" Cheng Ge said with some doubts, after all, this kind of thing, even if the emperor doesn't care so much about the harem disputes, he must know about it, didn't he make a move?
"He knows." Qin Changqi narrowed his eyes, a hint of danger burst out of his eyes, it seemed that he did not respect Qin Cao as much as he appeared, Qin Changqi gritted his teeth and continued, "He just thinks that even if he doesn't make a move, it won't be good, and he can't protect it for a while." ”
But having said that, his own woman can't protect him, so what is this man's ability? Thinking of this, Cheng Ge not only despised Qin Cao a little.
So in the disappointment again and again, the concubine slowly became a little discouraged. She didn't have any status back then, and her mother couldn't help much, so she could only rely on the emperor's favor. But now that even the emperor's favor has been lost, what else does she have?
After leaving Qin Changqi, the emperor came a few times, but he didn't still favor her as before. The concubine didn't know what the reason was, but she only felt that she was very lonely.
Finally, the noble concubine saw that she was no longer favored and began to make a move.
When the concubine was pregnant with her second child, she was in a much better mood, and the emperor came a few more times. It's just that the emperor has never stayed overnight, and the noble concubines don't think much about eating all kinds of meals and pastries sent by the imperial dining room every day, wanting to supplement the child with more nutrition.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that Concubine Gao had already put cinnabar in various diets, and the imperial doctor who asked for peace for the concubine didn't tell her - after all, it was Concubine Gao who told the truth?
So on the day of the concubine's birth, she died of an unexpected blood collapse, and the baby girl died after only a few moments of birth.
At that time, Qin Changqi was standing outside the room, watching basins of blood and water come out of the room, and finally heard the concubine's personal palace maid crying bitterly. He looked at it expressionlessly, and his heart was very blank. It's not that he wasn't sad, but he knew it wasn't an accident.
My mother's health has always been good, how could she die of a blood collapse?
After the death of the noble concubine, Qin Changqi has been following the emperor's side, until once Qin Changqi was on the way to the academy when he heard the arrangement of the noble concubine's personal palace maid in a whisper, and she asked a eunuch to send the little palace maid who poisoned the noble concubine out of the palace. It was only at this time that Qin Changqi did not know the cause of his mother's death.
But at that time, he was very young and did not have the ability to bring down the noble concubine, and the most important thing was that no one would believe him. He can only keep his head in obscurity, while protecting his own safety, while secretly cultivating power.
"But if you really want to bring down the noble concubine, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Cheng Ge frowned, this noble concubine was messing around in the palace and messing up the harem, the emperor had never punished her, and even the queen hardly asked.
It seems that this noble concubine has some skills in her.
"What I've been thinking about is that if I really want to bring down someone, it's not actually to kill her, but to make her lose everything she values the most." Qin Changqi said indifferently, he had thought about this ending a long time ago, and he had been implementing it all these years.
What is the most dear thing to the noble concubine?
That should be the glory of the crown prince and her maternal family.
Now that the crown prince is under house arrest in the East Palace, the noble concubine must be in a hurry. As long as a person is in a hurry, he will definitely make mistakes in his busyness, not to knock her down with a blow, but also to make her feel frustrated.
"I hope you can help me." Qin Changqi held Cheng Ge's hand and said affectionately, "I hope you can always be by my side and help me avenge my hatred." ”
Cheng Ge looked at his eyes seriously and said, "How could I not be there." But let's solve the woman's matter, since the noble concubine hurt my mother-in-law and sister, how could I let her go? ”
In fact, Cheng Ge itself will not have these fights and disputes, but in modern times, I have watched too many TV series of palace fights and house fights, and I still know some of them. Cheng Ge is flying in his mind about the TV series he has watched over the years, and the tricks are not new, as long as they work.
Qin Changqi looked at her contemplative appearance, and his eyes flashed.
