Qi Mo, I can only do this for you. You must be more careful on the road ahead!
Zhong Qingye looked at the thirteen packages and when the flames disappeared, she suddenly seemed to have lost all her strength. She leaned softly on the back of the chair. After strictly ordering everyone not to reveal a word, she dismissed it casually.
The whole room was full of servants, all lying on the table, their hands and feet felt terribly cold.【】
Today is March 27, the fourth day that Zhong Qingye and Qi Mo got married.
"Empress...are you okay..." The three girls of Chun Xia Qiu stood beside her, looking worriedly at her pale face. Although they didn't know what the burned things were, Zhong Qingye's
From the look on his face, several people could guess that he was definitely not a good person.
Xia'er stepped forward, squatted down, put a heating bag on Zhong Qingye's cold legs, took her hand and put it on it, and whispered insincerely: "Although Xia'er doesn't understand what happened,
What's the matter, but my dear, you must protect your body, if something goes wrong with your body, the prince will definitely be sad."
Zhong Qingye came back to his senses and glanced down at her. There was a long candle burning in the hall, and the candlelight was swaying gently. Although it was bright, it seemed that the hall was too wide and it seemed that it was not enough. Half of Xia'er's face was covered in
Shrouded in hazy darkness, it was not clear, but Zhong Qingye could clearly see her eyes.
Clear, the ultimate pure black, as clear as crystal, the worry and sincerity spread inside, exuding warmth like sunlight.
Zhong Qingye's heart suddenly softened. He stretched out his hand to touch her head and said softly: "I can do it."
"Mother, you haven't eaten for a day, please eat something first!" Seeing that she finally spoke, Chun'er hurriedly handed the food box over to her, looking at her eagerly.
Looking at these three girls, how could Zhong Qingye not be able to tell the sincerity of worry in their eyes? They really cared about her, and this kind of care made her unable to give up the slightest strength to refuse, so she could only nod blankly,
He replied, "Okay."
The three girls immediately jumped for joy and hurriedly put the food box on the table. Xia'er brought some candles over to one side, and Qiu'er moved the heater and carefully put it as close to her legs as possible.
Zhong Qingye's heart softened, his eyes softened unconsciously, and his whole body seemed to have gained warmth, no longer terrifyingly cold.
Those black packages, as she expected, were indeed not from the palace. From Zhong Qingye's perspective, the identical items inside were just useless dolls and scraps.
But from an ancient perspective, they also have a scarier name, called witchcraft.
Zhong Qingye doesn't understand history and doesn't have much knowledge in this area, but she has some understanding of witchcraft that often appears in TV series or novels.
She knew that in ancient times, as long as witchcraft was involved in the past dynasties, thousands of people would die. Why were those black packages hidden in the corner of the palace, and several of them were distributed in Qi Mo's study and...
Zhong Qingye certainly didn't believe that Qi Mo would use these things in important places such as the bedroom, and the servants of Prince Rui's Mansion wouldn't mess with these things either.
But if it wasn’t someone from the palace who did it, then someone framed it!
There was a small doll in the package, with many traditional Chinese characters written in scarlet blood, and densely covered with slender silver needles, which made the person's scalp numb. Zhong Qingye didn't recognize most of them, but "Qi Mu"
She understood the two words very clearly.
Such a scarlet color almost makes people feel chilly spreading from the soles of their feet.
Out of professional instinct, Zhong Qingye has always believed in her own intuition, so the moment she got those packages, she decided that they were definitely not interesting things. When she thought about Qi Mo entering the palace unusually early in the morning, she felt sad in her heart.
Uneasiness came like a tide, almost drowning her.
Unable to think carefully about what was going on, she ordered a search of the whole house, and sure enough she found other packages, the dozen witchcraft dolls lined up, the bright red blood stains and the cold silver needles, if you let
People discovered that in this feudal ancient times, Qi Mo couldn't clean himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River. He was truly incapable of making excuses!
If it wasn't for his accidental fall, if it wasn't for the black package he happened to find under the cabinet, if it wasn't for this series of coincidences, just thinking about the possible consequences, Zhong Qingye would feel a chill going straight into his bones.
She herself is not afraid, but if someone discovers it, she is afraid that the entire servants of Prince Rui's Mansion will be implicated, and thousands of lives will be ruined!
Whether this incident is specifically aimed at Qi Mo, or whether it is a large-scale clearing of obstacles, it is difficult to determine based on the current situation, but at this moment, Zhong Qingye can only take care of himself.
The palace has been thoroughly searched, and based on the efficiency of those people, there should be no problems. Moreover, she has also ordered that no one in the palace is allowed to go out tonight, the door is closed, and all matters are postponed. As of now, she can only take the following measures
Conservative defense.
There is a vague feeling that the Northern Qi regime, which has always maintained a balance between the two parties, is about to start a big storm. The first to bear the brunt is Prince Rui Qi Mo, who has always been at odds with Qi Mu!
Although he felt strangely unwilling, Zhong Qingye had to admit that from the moment he agreed to Qi Mo, their fates had been intertwined, and he didn't know if they could be separated again in this life.
"Empress? Empress?!..."
Zhong Qingye suddenly woke up from his thoughts and faced Qiu'er's worried eyes. He smiled and said reluctantly: "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong with you today? You've been so distracted that you even forgot to eat..." Chun'er said in a normal chatter, but suddenly became nervous: "Is it possible that you are pregnant?"
"Is it true? Your Majesty is pregnant?" Xia'er and Qiu'er immediately rushed over, and their eyes suddenly turned into shining light bulbs.
Zhong Qingye looked at the three gossiping girls dumbfounded, shook his head and said: "No, I'm just a little tired, and I've only been married for a few days? How could I get pregnant so soon?"
"Ah..." The three girls then remembered that Zhong Qingye had only been married for four days, and they immediately lowered their heads in despair and sighed.
Zhong Qingye shook his head and reached out to open the food box.
The food box is made of mahogany, and burning charcoal is placed on the bottom layer to keep the temperature of the food on the top three layers. Chun'er stood up to help. There are bone soup and millet porridge on the second layer, and two exquisite plates on the third layer.
For side dishes, the top layer is rice.
There was a lot of food, and Zhong Qingye couldn't finish it by himself, so he simply asked Qiu'er to prepare some more, and took the three girls to sit down and eat together. Zhong Qingye knew that this was probably the last calm before the storm.
