Chapter 159: Self-inflicted
It wasn't until the next day that Gu Qingyi didn't know about the farce that happened in Jiyue Courtyard, and she also knew the news that the group of girls were betrayed, she didn't expect that King Qin would engage in joint sittings and dispose of all the people.
But such big news did not cause much discussion, because everyone's attention shifted to the two assassinations of King Qin, the Praetorian Guards searched under martial law day and night, and the atmosphere in the capital was tense for a while, and everyone was waiting to see the final result.
Not long after, the prince was reprimanded by the emperor for his unfavorable affairs, and the officials of the James Mansion ushered in a big change. There was a lot of noise in the government and the opposition, and everyone was wise to protect themselves, but they were strangely calm.
The Xiongnu peace talks were originally the crown prince's responsibility, the treaties negotiated at the beginning were annulled, the emperor asked for an increase in the annual offering, the border was open to each other, these two requirements were extremely unfavorable to the Xiongnu, the envoys have been unwilling to let go, at this time I don't know why, it was agreed.
This change is confusing, but there are also keen people who have figured out the inside story, and they are even more sandched and behaved, not daring to show any tendencies.
The earth-shaking changes finally ended, the court finally returned to the surface of calm, the envoy proposed to return to China, the emperor agreed, and let the king of Qin be responsible for the banquet practice.
Gu Qingyi did not attend the banquet, but she also knew the undercurrent surging, and just when she thought it was over, King Qi came to the door.
Yujing Garden has not yet been cleaned up, Gu Qingyi still lives in the outer study, the outer study is a confidential place, Gu Qingyi met King Qi in the flower hall.
King Qi sat for most of the day, and even refilled the tea twice, but he still looked cowardly and couldn't say a word. Gu Qingyi could probably guess his intentions, and she had been spending time with him, but the pregnant woman's body was impatient after all, so she had to break the deadlock and get straight to the point, "The third brother is here for Princess Huyan?" ”
King Qi's face turned red, and he said, "Yes, second sister-in-law, can you meet the princess?" ”
Da Zhou and the Xiongnu have made peace, but the Xiongnu and relatives have no whereabouts, these days Hu Yanhua has been going to see Gu Qingyi, for the woman who almost killed her, Gu Qingyi stayed away, and always refused to see each other on the grounds of safe pregnancy, but I didn't expect her to give up, and actually took advantage of King Qi.
King Qi has never been to the court, I don't know the dark tide of the court situation this time, and I don't know what role the Huns played in the assassination case, he was shocked by the Hun princess at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, and he never forgot it, and has always wanted to marry the Hun princess, who knows that the princess doesn't look down on him, but he never forgets the King of Qin. Until today, she received a message from the princess that as long as she helped her meet with Princess Qin, she was willing to marry him. King Qi was immediately overjoyed, and immediately came to the door as a lobbyist, and there was a scene of talent.
"I don't have anything to talk about with the princess." Gu Qingyi's expression was faint, and he looked at King Qi without his previous enthusiasm, "The third brother is the prince of Da Zhou, if he falls in love with the princess of the Huns, he directly asks his father for marriage, why bother looking ahead." ”
King Qi was suddenly embarrassed, "If you want to be happy, if the princess is unwilling, I don't want to make it difficult for others." ”
I didn't expect King Qi to be a gentleman.
Gu Qingyi, who was a villain in vain, stood up directly, "Since the third brother doesn't want to be strong, then please be considerate of me, blame me for being narrow-minded and unwilling to see a woman who covets my husband again." ”
King Qi's face turned completely red, and he looked at Gu Qingyi at a loss, "Second sister-in-law, don't be angry, I, I don't mean to embarrass you." ”
"It's okay, I'm not feeling well, so I can't entertain you."
Gu Qingyi served tea to the guests, King Qi looked at her guiltily and uneasily, and finally apologized and turned to leave. As soon as he left, King Qin returned, "What is the matter with King Qi looking for you?" ”
Gu Qingyi didn't want to provoke their brotherhood, so he kept silent about Hu Yanhua's affairs, "King Qi heard that the concubine was unwell, so he specially came to visit. ”
King Qin looked at her silently, there was warmth flowing in his eyes, Gu Qingyi thought that there were slaves and maids next to her when she met King Qi, and King Qin probably knew about their conversation, and her deception was just a superfluous move, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"The princess doesn't have to worry about this king, you handled it well." King Qin stretched out his hand and picked up her hanging sideburns, "The Xiongnu princess is a thief, and if she can't see you, she will find another way, so you won't be sick after today." ”
"Okay."
Gu Qingyi lowered his head to avoid King Qin's burning gaze, his heart was sour and sweet, his heart seemed to be bumped by a deer, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly. King Qin looked at the princess who was shy again, and his handsome face, which had been indifferent for days, finally showed a smile, since that day of confession, his own princess has become more and more interesting.
As expected, on the second day, Hu Yanhua found the queen, hoping that the queen could summon Princess Qin and give her a chance to settle her past suspicions with Princess Qin. The queen didn't know what to think, but she took care of this idle matter and ordered to summon Gu Qingyi.
Gu Qingyi, who had been prepared for a long time, lay on the bed, her little face was painted white with fat powder, and said weakly to the eunuch who came in to visit, "Blame me for my useless body, I haven't been well since I was frightened by the assassination, and I caught a cold last night, so I contracted the wind cold." The queen mother is a precious body, and she dare not let her be contaminated with a sick body. ”
The eunuch's face was a little ugly, "It's not the queen who summoned the princess, it's the Hun princess who wants to see you." ”
didn't give up yet, and wanted her to bring her sick into the palace.
Such persistence made Gu Qingyi more and more vigilant, Hu Yanhua had no ability to buy off the queen's people, the only possibility was that the queen knew that Hu Yanhua was plotting against her, and she was going to push it.
She just suspected that Hu Yanhua's purpose was not pure, and after today's experience, it can be said that the evidence is conclusive.
Gu Qingyi squinted her eyes and hid a flash of coldness, "I heard that the princess is about to return to China, so I can't practice it to the princess in person." Father-in-law Lao brought a word for me, and I will see you again in the future. ”
At this point, the eunuch had no choice but to return to the palace to resume his life, and as for how angry the palace was, it had nothing to do with Gu Qingyi. She didn't know that it was not only the queen and Hu Yanhua who were angry, but also the king of Qin.
"Master, the spies have sent news that the Hun princess has obtained the secret medicine for abortion, and the pregnant woman is in danger of dying if she is stained, and the reason why she is obsessed with seeing the princess is to have the opportunity to be drugged."
The room was as silent as death, Feng Ming cautiously raised his eyes, but saw that the master's face was sinking like water, his eyes were full of fierce cruelty, the cup in his palm was cracked inch by inch, and with a bang, the cup fell to the ground and finally shattered.
The cup broke the silence of the room, and King Qin finally spoke, "Where did her secret medicine come from?" ”
Feng Ming hurriedly lowered his head, "Prince." ”
"Very good." King Qin's face was full of ridicule, the dignified prince of a country had become a despicable villain who was secretly drugged, and he was the only one who used it smoothly.
He sneered, "Can there be a wife and concubine in the East Palace who are pregnant?" ”
"Shi Liangdi, who was given by the queen, is suspected of being pregnant."
"Go ahead."
"Yes."
It is only fitting to treat others the way they would be.
East Palace, Jingxiu Temple.
Shi Liangdi's face was as beautiful as a little white flower with pride, and her eyebrows were full of charm and style, and the palace maid picked a golden step and put it on her black and bright sideburns, and flattered, "Liangdi's good color is not as good as the one in the main courtyard." Now no one in the East Palace knows, the most favored is our Jingxiu Courtyard. ”
Shi Liangdi was flattered and sneered, "It is rumored that the crown princess was very clever and clever when she was not out of the cabinet, but I can't see it like this, which angered the queen mother, and she will suffer in the future." ”
The maid hurriedly said, "In the future, the East Palace will be your world." ”
"Really good at talking, reward."
"Xie Liangdi."
The maid accepted the reward with a smile, and she didn't know what to think, but suddenly looked at Shi Liangdi's stomach, "Liangdi, your little day has been three days late, will it be ......?"
Shi Liangdi subconsciously covered her stomach, and was surprised, "Quick!" Hurry up and ask the Imperial Doctor! ”
"Aifei is not feeling well?" A clear male voice came from outside, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the room knelt down in unison and saluted, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Shi Liangdi's face was immediately full of smiles, acting like a weak willow supporting the wind, bowing in front of the prince in a thousand ways, her eyes were full of obsession and dependence, and her voice was delicate, "The concubine has seen His Royal Highness." ”
The prince was very impressed by her gesture, and his depression in recent days has decreased slightly, and he personally helped the person up, and asked again, "I just heard you pass on the imperial doctor, but I am not feeling well."
Shi Liangdi's face immediately showed a look of shyness, "The concubine is not unwell, but the kid hasn't come for a few days, so he wants to call the imperial doctor to ask why." ”
"Didn't you come on Boy's Day?" The prince looked at Shi Liangdi's still flat lower abdomen in surprise, and already had a guess in his heart, and hurriedly helped her sit down on the soft collapse, "Today, the palace is resting with you, it should be, you are blessed." ”
Many thoughts instantly turned in his mind, the East Palace has no children so far, if Liangdi can give birth to Lin'er, the father and emperor will be happy, and he can also use this to calm people's hearts, and it will not be a problem for the East Palace to rise again.
What if the East Palace is dormant for a while, King Qin is sharp and standout, and his father will definitely not be able to tolerate him!
Shi Liangdi, who enjoyed the care of the prince, was both proud and proud, and her eyes on her lower abdomen were even more hot, and she didn't know if it was because she was too excited, her lower abdomen suddenly cramped, her face suddenly turned pale, and she held the prince's hand tightly, "Your Highness, the concubine's stomach hurts so much......"
The prince woke up from his contemplation, and at a glance saw the red blood flowing out of Shi Liangdi's lower body, and his face was gloomy, and he shouted sharply, "Where is the imperial doctor!" Tell the Imperial Doctor! ”
The imperial doctor had already been summoned, and he came just in time to see the scene in front of him, and was immediately startled, and when he diagnosed the pulse, his face was like ashes, and he knelt down with a puff, "Weichen is incompetent, Liangdi her, she has a miscarriage!" ”
I thought it was a happy event, but who knew that it had become a mourning bird, and the imperial doctor regretted that his intestines were green.
"Rubbish!" The prince was furious and kicked the imperial doctor directly, "How can Liangdi have a miscarriage!" ”
The imperial doctor knelt tremblingly and said with difficulty, "Your Highness, Liangdi has just conceived a fetus, and the fetal image is already unstable, and at this time, she has been exposed to strong abortion pills, which will cause the blood to flow endlessly. ”
What he didn't say was that fortunately, the month was still young, and if it was a fetus that had already formed, I was afraid that it would be a fatal death. However, this is just a bad thing, Shi Liangdi is afraid that she will never be able to get pregnant again.
Even if she didn't know that she couldn't get pregnant, Shi Liangdi, who had a miscarriage, was grief-stricken and cried, "Your Highness, you must be the master of the concubine." ”
The prince's forehead was bruised, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and his face was gloomy and terrifying, "Investigate thoroughly!" ”
The palace maids and eunuchs of Jingxiu Courtyard were walking on thin ice, and they all checked the people, objects and food that Shi Liangdi came into contact with today, but there was no problem, and the prince's face became more and more gloomy, and he was quite in a posture of mountain rain coming, and everyone was shocked and silent, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
In the end, it was the imperial doctor who stubbornly said, "Your Highness, your clothes are stained with filth, please change your clothes." ”
The prince looked at the blood stained on the hem of his clothes, and his face suddenly sank, and the imperial doctor asked him to change his clothes not because of this, but because of ...... Yes, Shi Liangdi had a miscarriage after he came back!
His face changed, and he hurriedly picked up the sachet on his waist, and finally understood when he smelled the familiar smell, all the tables and chairs around him were overturned by him, and there was a loud bang, his muscles were bruised, and his eyes were bloodthirsty and fierce, "Bastard!" ”
The abortion pill he got for Gu Qingyi actually came back to him!
The humiliation and hatred of killing his son with his own hands, one day, he will pay for it twice!
