Chapter 102 - The Dragon and the Great Joy
"Elder sister, what's going on? Why would there suddenly be a black-clothed person? " When Qin Luofei saw the black-clothed man appear in Du Qingcheng's courtyard, she guessed that he was planning to assassinate her, the Empress.
Du Qingcheng cast Consort Shu a glance and lightly said: "No problem, fortunately this one had made preparations in advance."
Qin Luofei's matter had not been completed yet, but neither of these two people were able to calm down. If it wasn't you framing me, then it was me framing you.
Seeing that she was fine, Qin Luofei took her leave first and returned to her own courtyard.
Zi Yuan went to check the surroundings. The moment Qin Luofei entered the room, her mouth was immediately covered.
"Speak, I'll kill you." The black-clothed man's voice was hoarse, deliberately trying to hide his voice.
Qin Luofei was held hostage by the black clothed person into the room. The black clothed person put down the curtain separating the room and the inner room before releasing Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei saw the bloodstains on the man in black's body. He was afraid that the wounds caused by the imperial guards earlier must have been caused by them.
The black-clothed man took out some medicinal powder from his bosom and sprinkled it on his arm. Only then did he raise his eyes to look at Qin Luofei.
Borrowing the moonlight, Qin Luofei saw that the man's eyes were like the moon, rippling like the wind, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"You're not allowed to look at me anymore. If you keep looking, I'll kill you." The black clothed man was in so much pain that his forehead started sweating.
"If you don't want to watch, then don't." Qin Luofei turned her head away.
The black-clothed person passed Qin Luofei a piece of cloth and said, "Bandage it for me."
Qin Luofei took the bandage and bandaged it for the man in black. Her hands were heavy, causing the man in black to frown in pain. "Why are your hands so heavy? Do you want to die?"
"I don't dare. I'm an imperial concubine, not a physician. Please order." Qin Luofei spoke very lightly, but her hands were still as low as before, causing the black-clothed man to grimace.
"You think I don't dare to kill you?" The black clothed man threatened in a low voice.
Qin Luofei sighed helplessly, "I'm already in your hands, you can kill me if you want."
"You …" The black clothed person looked at Qin Luofei with a sharp gaze. Qin Luofei took a step back in shock, and immediately said: "Could it be that you really want to kill me? You can't be so ungrateful. I took you in and bandaged you, you can't kill me. Weren't people of the martial arts world the ones who paid the most attention to the distinction between kindness and hatred? I clearly do owe you a favor. "
The black-clothed man covered his arm with one hand, his eyebrows furrowed in pain. He even needed to listen to a woman's chattering. He really suspected that the emperor might as well kill him because he didn't know how to handle a concubine like her.
The man approached Qin Luofei step by step, but heard messy footsteps coming from the courtyard. It seemed like the imperial guards were afraid of the black-clothed men and were searching from house to house.
"Don't kill me. I'll save you once more. You can jump out of the window." Qin Luofei angrily glared at the man in black as she saw the approaching footsteps.
The man in black was already injured and could not fight anymore.
Qin Luofei's pupils slightly moved. She pushed open the window at the back and said: "It's better if you leave quickly! "I am a kind person, so I won't mind that you want to kill me."
The black-clothed person glanced at Qin Luofei with disdain before jumping towards the back window. Then, Qin Luofei happily heard the scream and could no longer hear the sound.
Fortunately, the sound of the wind was loud, so the people in the courtyard probably wouldn't be able to hear anything.
If it wasn't for the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer to the courtyard, the black-clothed person wouldn't have the time to check, and Qin Luofei wouldn't have been able to succeed in one move.
Although it was a pity that he died, he still liked to threaten her.
Zi Yuan pushed open the door and entered. She said to Qin Luofei: "Third Young Master is bringing people in to search."
Qin Luofei nodded, Zi Yuan lit up the lamp and opened the door. The third young master himself brought two soldiers in to search.
When the third young master walked to the window, his eyes moved slightly as he looked at Qin Luofei. When he saw her unperturbed expression, he waved at the two soldiers and said, "There's nothing abnormal, go search somewhere else!"
Qin Luofei really liked Third Young Master's cold personality, so she never said anything unnecessary.
"Miss, are you alright?" Zi Yuan sent the third young master off, and when she returned to the house, she saw that Qin Luofei's expression was not well, and asked worriedly.
Qin Luofei shook her head. After these two events, her plans would probably be for naught.
Since the two of them entered the city, even she was unable to rest in peace.
After a day, Qin Luofei washed up and went to see Du Qingcheng.
She had thought that with all that had happened, she wouldn't be able to stay here any longer. She would know that Du Qingcheng was still going to recite the scriptures like he had planned for the past two days.
Qin Luofei was helpless, so she could only helplessly accompany him.
Taking advantage of the fact that his body was not feeling well, the Consort Shu hid and only recuperated in the house. After suffering Qin Luofei and Du Qingcheng spent the next two days reciting Buddhist chants, he became a lot thinner.
Three days later, Zi Yuan and Mo Ling Jian contacted each other. The messenger said that the young master had left for the Southern Wilderness to find the eldest young master and had not come back yet.
Qin Luofei knew that she would not be able to see Mo Ling Jian this time.
Four days later, they set out for the palace.
Qin Luofei was still in the same car as Consort Shu. Consort Shu didn't talk much along the way, but he still had a lazy look, unwilling to eat anything.
When he returned to the palace, just as Qin Luofei was bathing and changing her clothes, she heard the palace maids say that the Consort Shu was already pregnant. The emperor was overjoyed, and gave the Consort Shu many things.
Qin Luofei originally wanted to bring Zi Yuan to see the Consort Shu, but the Emperor ordered that no imperial concubine was allowed to visit the Consort Shu, and told him to recuperate well.
The palace was filled with the withering of their children, but they didn't expect that Consort Mo and Consort Shu would be pregnant so quickly, that Huan Beauty would probably be pregnant as well.
The previous dynasty had also sent news that the war in the southern borders was not good, the Yan State's army was not suitable for the climate, many people were already sick, and even the Prince Xi had occasionally felt cold. The Emperor originally wanted to send a decree for the Prince Xi to return to the Yancheng to recuperate, but the Prince Xi insisted on staying at the border.
Due to the war, the Emperor had not been to the imperial harem for many days. Even the Imperial Consort Leng s had received cold treatment, not to mention the other concubine s.
The Queen Du Qingcheng had called for the concubine s of the harem to sew clothes for the warriors of the Southern Wilderness.
A few days later, when Qin Luofei heard that Luo Ziyan's body wasn't feeling well, she intentionally brought Sunflower chrysanthemum to visit Luo Ziyan.
Although Zi Yuan had a dull temperament and acted rashly, Xi Ju's loyalty could not be compared to Zi Yuan's. After all, she was Ling Jian's person.
When Qin Luofei went to find him, Luo Ziyan was lying on the bed with a sickly look on her face. The two imperial doctors were checking her pulse, and one of them said: "Nothing serious, just walk around for a bit everyday and it will be fine."
"Sister." When Luo Ziyan saw Qin Luofei, she extended her hand and grabbed onto Qin Luoqi's finger.
Qin Luofei vaguely smelled the scent of blood, and her eyes slightly creased.
"Elder sister, what's wrong?"
Luo Ziyan shook her head and said: "It's nothing serious, it's just a stomachache."
The two imperial doctors followed the young eunuch out of the room, and Qin Luofei walked over to Luo Ziyan's side. Seeing that Luo Ziyan had not seen her for a few days, her face became thinner, and her expression became ugly.
Qin Luofei took the opportunity to grasp her hand and secretly place it on her pulse. She couldn't help but be startled; this pulse wasn't as simple as it seemed.
"Elder sister, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Luo Ziyan laughed and shook her head, then said: "It's all because of them, I just came a few days later, my body is in pain, I'm fine."
Looking at Luo Ziyan, she obviously didn't know that she was pregnant, and even had a small child.
"Imperial Physician Gu, you can prescribe some medicine. Elder sister has a soft body, please do not prescribe the medicine of tigers and wolves."
With the maid passing the prescription opened by the imperial physician to Qin Luofei, he took it in his hands and read it carefully, his brows slightly relaxed.
These imperial physicians were indeed intelligent, and they must have had their mouths stuffed shut. They were not allowed to speak the truth, but the prescription was used as nourishing medicine. It could be used to nourish babies, but it could also be used to nourish the blood of women.
Qin Luofei passed the prescription to maid. She knew that there might be spies from other concubine among the palace maids, so she didn't think it was appropriate to overdo it.
Elder sister, you need to take good care of yourself. I can see that you don't look too good, and I still have a lot of ginseng for you.
Luo Ziyan looked up from afar and laughed: "I'm not that pampered anymore."
She actually saw that the windows of the house were not closed. Although it was midsummer now, Luo Ziyan was born in a small family, so she was afraid of catching a cold.
Qin Luofei cast a glance at Daihua, who noiselessly closed the window. One of the maid saw that Daihua had closed the window and wanted to open it again, so he said with a smile: "My family's master thought that the room was too bloody, so he opened the window to cool it."
Qin Luofei found the maid's appearance pleasing, but his heart was black.
Elder sister, your maid has become smarter, junior sister sees her as a nice person, why don't older sister reward her to younger sister!
Luo Ziyan was startled. Seeing Qin Luofei's cold eyes looking at him, he couldn't help but look at the maid, nodded slightly, and said: "It's rare for little sister to like someone, little sister can give her to little sister!"
The maid was startled. Seeing Qin Luofei staring at her with cold eyes, he quickly lowered his head in fright and fearfully said: "Greetings, Concubine Qin."
"I'm thirsty, go bring me and sister two cups of tea."
Hearing Qin Luofei's words, maid was secretly happy in his heart, he only wanted to destroy Luo Ziyan's body. It was a really good chance, even if something happened, it wouldn't fall onto his head.
Seeing that the maid had walked out of the room, leaving only Qin Luofei and Daihua in the room, Luo Ziyan said, "Little sister, she can't be the Queen and the Imperial Consort Leng's people, right?"
Qin Luofei nodded, and lowered her voice, saying, "There are spies everywhere in this palace, so big sister should take care of herself in the future. Those who aren't considerate should be dismissed, and only those who aren't considerate can serve."
Luo Ziyan nodded.
Qin Luofei also could not reveal the fact that Luo Ziyan was pregnant, so she only told her to take good care of him and not go out for the next half month.
Returning to her own palace, she ordered Zi Yuan to look after maid, and only asked her to do some chores to keep an eye on her and see who she belonged to.
The war ahead seemed to be getting more and more disadvantageous for the Yan State. The Emperor was also more and more worried, and there were fewer harem members.
Qin Luofei was in the midst of mixing rouge in the palace when Emperor Ming sent Xiao Linzi to invite her to the carriage.
