But now, since Qin Ran has secretly married Shi Chunzhu, he must know that he has never touched Shi Chun.

Even if he is still young now, everyone in the palace knows that the two concubines in the East Palace are the most favored by the crown prince, and they almost never leave day and night.

It is rumored that it is very intimate, but in fact, it has never touched a single hair.

In this way, wouldn't Qin Ran feel strange in his heart?

Thinking of this, Qi Changrong unconsciously rubbed the string of sandalwood beads on his wrist.

The killing intent in his heart became more and more surging, until he finally returned to calm.

But even she herself didn't know who she had to kill or how many people she had to kill in order to hide the matter.

Anyway, killing someone is not complicated for her.

But the living are better than the dead, aren't they?

The desolate night shrouded the dark East Palace, and only the inner hall where Qi Changrong was resting lit a bright lamp.

In the inner hall, behind the layers of bed curtains, Qi Changrong sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

She was dressed in a white bedgown, letting her long waterfall-like hair fall behind her, counting the sandalwood beads on her wrist one by one, and her movements were gentle and irresistible.

The night was getting darker, but Qi Changrong didn't mean to fall asleep at all.

Sitting alone in the dark, as if waiting for something.

The cold moonlight was obscured by the thick clouds, and the moonlight that penetrated through the window slowly disappeared, and with a 'squeak', the door of the dormitory was pushed open from the outside, and a slender and thin figure came in through the gap in the temple door.

Then the door of the temple was closed again, and only the sound of unfamiliar footsteps approached almost inaudibly.

Finally, stop at the edge of the bed.

"The sin slave serves the spring, and he came to ask His Highness for his sin."

The hall was very quiet, so quiet that through the heavy curtains, even the sound of Shi Chun's deliberately lowered breathing could be clearly heard.

Qi Changrong lifted his eyelids and looked at the side of the bed coldly.

There was something in between, and she couldn't see what Shi Chun's expression was, and she could only judge from her shoulders that were trembling slightly from time to time that this person was very uneasy at this time.

Yes, she made an unforgivable mistake behind her master's back, how could she be at ease?

Qi Changrong was silent, and Shi Chun, who was kneeling outside the bed, didn't dare to say much.

didn't even dare to look at the reaction of the person inside, but subconsciously reached out to protect his lower abdomen, and there was a small life quietly sprouting in it.

"Remember what Lone told you on the first day you entered the East Palace?"

Finally, I don't know how long it has been, Qi Changrong, who has been silent, opened his mouth, and from her indifferent tone as always, Shi Chun couldn't figure out her thoughts, and he became even more panicked.

She knew that as long as the prince was willing, all the secrets of the palace would not be able to hide from his eyes.

And this time, I completely stepped on her bottom line.

Holding back the sudden chill in his heart, Shi Chun knelt on the ground and replied with his mouth open: "Your Highness once warned the slave: Don't have delusions, don't have delusions, think twice about what you do. ”

Hearing her unconcealed answer, Qi Changrong was a little puzzled: "In this case, when did your delusions and delusions become uncontrollable?" ”

She didn't understand.

Obviously, a few months ago, he personally told Shi Chun that when it was in the future, the palace could set her free.

Why has it only been a few months, but Shi Chun, who had not yet given birth to delusions, said something irreparable?

Qi Changrong couldn't help but reflect on himself, whether he shouldn't have let Shi Chun and Qin Ran go in the first place.

"Where love goes, what desire is born, when the slave understands his own mind, delusion has been born, once there is delusion, it is only a matter of time before it erupts."

Hearing these words that can be called sincere, Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows: "So? ”

"The slave has nothing to say, let His Highness punish him, just ask His Highness to let go of the medical saint, he doesn't know anything."

Shi Chun took a deep breath, and when it came to the end, he gritted his teeth and wanted to protect Qin Ran.

Qi Changrong was silent for a while, and then asked, "Does he know that you are pregnant?" ”

"I don't know." Shi Chun's heart trembled, knowing that it was useless to lie, so he replied truthfully: "There was an accident, and the slave didn't have time to tell him." ”

I see.

Qi Changrong hooked the corners of his lips meaninglessly.

In the extreme silence, only the sound of sandalwood beads colliding came into the ears.

The more he listened, the more frightened he became.

Everyone in the East Palace knew that once Her Royal Highness started playing with the sandalwood bead string, it meant that she had murderous intent in her heart.

Sensing that the atmosphere in the inner hall was getting more and more weird, Shi Chun gritted his teeth and kowtowed fiercely: "Your Highness, rest assured, the slave will definitely not affect the East Palace!" ”

'Bang', the extremely quiet inner hall, Shi Chun seemed to be able to hear his violent heartbeat, and there was an inexplicable sigh above.

She kept kowtowing, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

Just as Shi Chun was about to continue to plead and kowtow, a hand suddenly stretched out from inside the bed curtain, accurately supporting her chin, and her voice was neither sad nor joyful.

"Look, what a good face has become." Qi Changrong Tsai looked at her carefully, and saw that the fear in her eyes was deepening, and said calmly: "The Lonely Society will send someone to tell the medical saint the good news." ”

Following the strength of his jaw, Shi Chun had to raise his head, and he had to look directly at Qi Changrong's eyes in the dim light.

One with a frightened eye.

An obscure one.

For a long time, she didn't seem to understand what the man was saying.

After a long while, Shi Chun finally understood the meaning of Qi Changrong's words, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did Your Highness tell him?" ”

Qi Changrong let go of the hand that was clamping her jaw, and smiled faintly: "You and his business, although Gu was unexpected, it can be regarded as a crooked hit." ”

"What do you mean?"

"You and the child in your womb are the handle he gave to Lone."

"In other words, if you want to give birth to this child safely, whether you want to or not, Qin Ran will definitely be tied to the same boat as the East Palace."

"It's your choice."

From the moment they crossed that line, everything was out of control, Qin Ran was a medical saint, and he was only loyal to the contemporary emperor, and he didn't have to be afraid of anyone except the emperor who was in charge of his fate.

But Qin Ran made a big mistake, he and Shi Chun stepped on the face of the royal family, no matter what the reason, if the news of Shi Chun's pregnancy reached the ears of Emperor Jin An.

And if he knew that the child's father was still Qin Ran, just the crime of messing with the harem would kill them.

Either a vigorous but meaningless death, or a stealing life.

They have no choice.

At this time, Qi Changrong had three choices.

1. Quietly dispose of Shi Chun or the child, so that the secret will always be a secret, so that it will not implicate the East Palace, nor will it shake the position of Qin Ran's medical saint.

Second, report this matter truthfully to Emperor Jin An, as for how to deal with it later, it is up to Emperor Jin An to decide.

3. Conceal secrets, become a fellow party, and hold the handle of the medical saint, so that Qin Ran is subject to the East Palace.

For Shi Chun, if she could choose independently, she would definitely choose the first way.

In this way, even if she is a slave, she can live up to her loyalty and affection,

It's a pity that Shi Chun missed a little, and her master, that is, Qi Changrong, couldn't leave this matter alone.

Shi Chun's eyes widened, and he rushed forward, grabbed a corner of Qi Changrong's sleeve in a panic, and begged with his eyes: "Your Highness let him go, he has been obsessed with medical skills all his life, and he has never interfered in the battles of the imperial family, he is useless to the East Palace." ”

"As for the slave, the slave knows that he has made a big mistake, and he does not ask His Highness for forgiveness, but asks His Highness to deal with it harshly, but he just wants not to implicate innocent people."

"You really don't care about the baby in your womb at all?" Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows slightly, and gently pulled out the corner of his sleeve that Shi Chun was holding in his hand, and his tone became lighter and lighter: "Even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, you don't want to try to fight for it?" ”

Shi Chun sat paralyzed on the ground, his palm unconsciously placed on his lower abdomen, January's abdomen was no different from ordinary people, but she knew very well that there was a small life being born in it.

In September, it will be on the ground.

Suddenly, Shi Chun's eyes were red.

Qi Changrong glanced at her lightly, and the emotions in his eyes were clear: "Go down, don't be delusional about making fearless struggles, it's not enough to die." ”

Having said that, even if Shi Chun doesn't care about himself, he has to care about the innocent life in his womb.

She didn't give it a choice whether she wanted to come into this world, but her love for it was unquestionable.

There was only Qi Changrong left in the dormitory.

As if nothing had happened, she pulled the bedding over her side, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, Qi Changrong woke up on time as usual, she pulled the bell at the head of the bed, and the person who was waiting for the grooming opened the door in an orderly manner and walked in.

Put the sleeping handkerchief, copper basin, and jade comb in the gargle in turn.

After it was done, he withdrew without saying a word.

The prince, as always, does not like to be served closely.

About a quarter of an hour later, Qi Changrong pushed open the door and walked out.

Ji Fang, who was waiting outside the hall, followed closely: "Your Highness, Xia Zhaoxun is waiting in the courtyard, can you summon him?" ”

Strange to say, His Royal Highness has always been very fond of the two Zhaoxun of the East Palace, and it stands to reason that even if Xia Zhaoxun broke into the main hall without His Highness's consent, he would not be severely punished.

But today, for some reason, no matter how he persuaded him, Xia Zhaoxun insisted on waiting outside, and his expression was quite worried.

"Not necessarily." Qi Changrong walked towards the main hall: "If she likes to wait, let her wait." ”

“……”

Hearing this, Ji Fang walked away against the wall, lamenting in his heart.

It seems that the waiter Xia Zhaoxun didn't know what he had done to annoy His Highness.

I don't even want to see it.

The food in the East Palace was extremely light, Qi Changrong was half full, and then drank a cup of soup.

Then he was ordered by the emperor to leave the palace.

When passing through the courtyard, Shi Xia was waiting for her, but Qi Changrong didn't look at her, and walked out of the East Palace without squinting, completely ignoring her.

Ji Fang didn't dare to say much, hung his head and followed, only mourning for Shi Xia for a moment in his heart.

There was a carriage waiting outside the East Palace, and after Qi Changrong got into the car, the carriage drove away from the palace from the main road and went straight towards the trial hall of the Criminal Department.

Qi Changrong sat on the soft collapse and closed his eyes in contemplation.
