She didn't look at Huangfu Wushuang, but instead looked straight at Imperial Physician Liu. Imperial Physician Liu was stunned for a moment, he was obviously just a young lady that hadn't reached the age of 15 yet, why did his eyes seem so familiar, as if he was 8,000 years old! Just one look was enough to make you submit to him!
"This humble subject …"
"How dare you!" "Now the evidence is so solid that you still dare to quibble!" Noble Consort Chen's face changed, she was about to call for her men to take Chu Qinghuan down, but Chu Qinghuan simply laughed indifferently, as though she had already seen through everything.
"Imperial Concubine, if we were to rashly make the Second Miss Chu guilty, wouldn't the news spread that our royal family was bullying others? Qian Er felt that it would be better to ask about the details of this matter first.
No one would have thought that Huangfu Yunqian actually stood on Chu Qinghuan's side this time. Even Huangfu Wushuang couldn't help but glare at him, as if she was questioning Huangfu Yunqian's betrayal.
How could the Noble Consort Chen possibly look down upon Huangfu Yunqian? Just as she was about to speak, she saw that Soo Fei who was by the side suddenly had a memory flash through her head. It was something that happened at the Grand Liquid Flower Banquet.
"I was being rude, but seeing Xian Consort's sister lying unconscious on the bed, I am unavoidably nervous, I hope Second Miss Chu does not blame me. However, regarding the matter of the brocade handkerchief, if there is no witness verifying the innocence of the Second Miss Chu, I am afraid that even if the Second Miss Chu herself were to say something, it would be difficult for me to convince the masses. "
When the Noble Consort Chen's expression fell into Chu Qinghuan's eyes, Zhuang Shufei's anger and regret were all instantly caught in the depths of her eyes. Chu Qinghuan smiled and said, "Qinghuan only has a few questions to ask Imperial Physician Liu.
She was not willing to be the second Empress Liu. Noble Consort Chen's expression had already eased up a lot, "Naturally, I won't blame you."
Chu Qinghuan smiled and looked at Imperial Physician Liu, her eyes carrying a playful look, "Imperial Physician Liu, may I ask, how long will it take for these two to make a pregnant woman red?"
When Imperial Physician Liu saw that the many concubines were all so vigilant, he was alarmed in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he said: "The ephedra is easy to pass on; the two must be contaminated at the same time to cause pregnant women to turn red."
"So they were contaminated at the same time. Qing Huan understands. In that case, Qing Huan will ask Imperial Physician Liu one more time. If I only ate half of a wintersweet, would it …"
"How is this possible!?" It was so hot that even if you put a pregnant woman in the ephedra, you wouldn't see her even if you only used half a circle … Red. " Realizing that he had said something, or perhaps he had misunderstood something, the Imperial Physician Liu immediately broke out into a cold sweat.
"So that's how it is. Empress is enlightened, the osmanthus that I just ate was even smaller than the ordinary one, and because there was a prize in her ear, Concubine Xian only used half of it, so …"
"Like I said, how could Chu Qinghuan be the culprit? Just now, outside the hall, I saw Concubine Xian giving this handkerchief to her, hmm, yes, even my royal sister can testify, but why did Royal Father call her over? Why don't we invite our royal sister back? "
Huangfu Yunqian's words caused Noble Consort Chen to feel somewhat embarrassed. Thinking back to how she had almost thrown Chu Qinghuan into jail just now, Noble Consort Chen felt a lingering fear in her heart. "Qian Er should've said it earlier. Since it was not the problem with the embroidered cloth, then it must be because of some other reason. Ting Yu, is your Empress normal and healthy? Don't try to hide anything from everyone, it's not good for anyone if this gets out of hand. "
Ting Yu, who had been silent all this time, was squatting in front of the bed, looking at Xian Consort with a startled expression. Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder, and she immediately turned around, only to see that everyone was looking at her.
"Forget it, Xian Consort's sister is someone with an idea, what else does this servant girl know? It has always been the little sister of the Xian Consort who was so strong. She got up so early and was so tired that she got a bit red. We can only blame ourselves for not having the experience and causing a ruckus. "
Noble Consort Chen knew that she had almost committed a grave mistake just now because she was too impatient for the results. When Zhuang Shufei spoke up, she also nodded and replied, "Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, so it's not really worth it for Master Xing to take action …"
"Imperial Concubine, Qing Huan feels that this is not a false alarm, but someone doing it on purpose!"
"What did you say!" Noble Consort Chen's expression changed, but she saw Chu Qinghuan slowly walk to Xian Consort's original seat and hold up a small plate of sweet ears: "This pretty ear hid these osmanthus seeds for the sake of winning the prize, but from what Qing Huan knows, there is only one of these seven rare items: Gui Yuan, Red Jujube, Lotus Seed, Silver Needle, Copper Coin, Peanut and Pearl. But why is there only one of them in Concubine Xian's ears?"
Inside the exquisite White Jade Butterfly were seven or eight delicate ears. They were all unique in style, only that a small piece of white and tender piece was exposed from inside the stuffing. It was the Gui Yuan Sect!
"How can this be!" Zhuang Shufei's expression also changed as her beautiful face paled. "The little sister of the Xian Consort has always been gentle and modest, why would anyone harm her? And today is a day of celebration, who dares to make a move on the Kunning Palace! "
Kunning Palace!
Hearing Zhuang Shufei mention Kunning Palace, everyone felt their hearts tremble, but then they heard the organized cheers from outside, "Empress is thousands of years and thousands of years!"
Perhaps it was because he was worried about the matters at the side hall, but Empress Liu came over quickly after a while with an anxious look on his face. It was obvious that he was worried about the situation in the Xian Consort.
"Madame Prime Minister, do not worry. Concubine Xian will definitely be able to turn the situation around." Liu Cairong consoled his softly from the side. Huangfu Yunqian couldn't help but frown when she saw Liu Cairong, "Why did she follow the Queen Mother to the main hall?"
This honor was something that even Grand Princess did not possess. After all, how could such matters be entertained?
However, Empress Liu had brought Liu Cairong with her today, simply because she wanted to show off to Liu Cairong. After all, they had stayed away from the capital for three years, so even the prized women of the heaven would not be able to compare to a few local tyrants.
Furthermore, Liu Changqi's death might cause the Empress Liu to feel a little fearful. She needed Liu Cairong to help his rope in; after all, this was the time for Liu Cairong to discuss marriage.
The sons and daughters of the outsider wives had already reached the age to marry and have their own children. Seeing the slim and graceful Empress Liu girls, it was natural that they would have some ulterior motives.
As the saying goes, mutual benefit can be gained through mutual benefit. Empress Liu had a good plan, but it was just that Liu Cairong didn't know what she was thinking.
When Noble Consort Chen reported the information that she had gathered to Empress Liu, Feng Yan was immediately enraged. "You actually dared to cause trouble under my nose, it seems that I am too lenient towards them! Go and find all the servants in the imperial dining room for me. Let me see who dares to make a move against Xian Consort. "
The anger of the Empress Liu frightened a group of concubines who had never seen the world before. Immediately, a few of them began to tremble in fear.
However, upon seeing Chu Qinghuan, the Empress Liu's expression became a lot more gentle. "I heard that Qinghuan wants to pay respects to the ancestor in a few days, so I don't have much to give you. This set of pearl scallops suits your temperament quite well, so I'll give you my congratulations."
It was obvious that Empress Liu found out about this news, which was why shsheused a set of pearl heads to comfort herself. Is this considered slapping Noble Consort Chen's face? Chu Qinghuan wanted to laugh for a moment. She originally thought that the Empress Liu was plotting against the child who planned to get rid of the Xian Consort, but who would have thought that after a few rounds, he would actually slap the Noble Consort Chen's face.
Sure enough, Noble Consort Chen's face turned ugly, it was just that she was someone who had immersed herself in the palace for many years. She quickly reacted and put the white jade carving string bracelet on her wrist onto Chu Qinghuan's hand, while's close Palace Maid, Cui Meng, turned pale with fright, "Empress, this bracelet was gifted to you by His Majesty, you have never left your side in the past two years!"
"Shut up!" "Your Majesty has given me many things. A BMW as a gift to a hero, red makeup for a beauty. Qing Huan looks much better with this bracelet at such a young age than I do."
Although Noble Consort Chen was already over forty years old, she had always maintained herself well, and looked like she was in her early twenties.
"Thank you Empress and Imperial Concubine for your rewards." Although Noble Consort Chen was Huangfu Shu's foster mother, she would never reject such a precious bracelet.
The Madame Song by the side had a furious look in her eyes, but she looked at Empress Liu with complete respect. "Empress, when will Concubine Xian wake up? It's such a pitiful new year, but she's actually been killed by a scoundrel and she's unconscious right now. "
It's the new year, Empress Liu suddenly thought of something, "It's getting late, you may all disperse. When we return, I will definitely investigate everything thoroughly and give Xian Consort an explanation."
Just as Chu Qinghuan was about to leave the Kunning Palace, he met Peaches. "Princess, may I trouble you to take a look at Grand Princess?" A forced smile appeared on Peaches' face. It was obvious that she was not very happy.
Picking up the peaches, Chu Qinghuan laughed: "What's wrong, who doesn't know, do you think I'm bullying you?"
She quickly wiped her tears away and said as she walked: "Just now, Grand Princess went to the imperial study. In a letter from King of Xinbei, he said that he was willing to surrender, but I do want, I want him to be married off to me!"
"Why would he want Grand Princess to marry him? Back then when the Grand Princess was determined to marry him, he surrendered and became the King of Xinbei of the Turkic, a traitor. It was fortunate that those ministers that were full of righteousness and morality believed that it was not a loss to exchange the Grand Princess's marriage for the three provinces of the northern border. "
"Right now, the imperial court is filled with cowards and cowards. If it weren't for the fact that they were afraid of the eight thousand years old, they would probably have had to force His Majesty to agree to it today."
"Eight thousand years?" Chu Qinghuan asked indifferently. Could it be that eight thousand years of age was related to the Grand Princess?
"Yes." When she mentioned Ji Fengye, a hint of gratitude appeared on Peaches' face. "If it weren't for the fact that they hated selling girls the most when they were eight thousand years old, who knows how long their group would have had to nag for."
Sell girls? That monster is too bold, wouldn't he be scolding Emperor Xuanwu too?
However …
"What did the Prime Minister say?"
"Minister Chu." Bi Tao looked at Chu Qinghuan and slowly said: "Chu Xiang did not say anything, but his disciples are all in favor of it."
Then, Chu Siyuan had tacitly agreed to it?
The three states of the Northern Frontier originally belonged to the Great Zhou. However, that year, when the rider general surrendered to the Turk, the Ji Prefecture, Ning Prefecture, and Liao Prefecture all became the territory of the Turk.
All these years, Emperor Xuanwu had also wanted to take back the three boroughs of the Northern Frontier. It was a pity that Duke Zhen had always been guarding the Southern Frontier and the Anping Marquis had always been on guard in the west.
"Then what did His Majesty say?"
Emperor Xuanwu's attitude was the key, Chu Qinghuan suddenly turned her head, only to see that Bi Tao's face did not look good, as though she was angry.
