Mo Yan smiled softly, "I will not let you die. As long as I am here, you will always be the most respected people in the harem, and no one will dare to bully you."
In this palace, either you die or I live. In the first half of my life, my life and death are controlled by others; in the second half of my life, the life and death of others are controlled by this palace.
After a pause, he said silently: "The Queen Mother will definitely put all the responsibility for Concubine Hua's death on me. If you are afraid, you can leave Chuxiu Palace. I don't want to implicate you."
Sitian knelt down with a look of fear on her face: "Queen, don't drive me away. No matter what happens, I will never leave Chuxiu Palace. If the Queen Mother is blamed, I will bear everything."
Mo Yan smiled and touched her face, "Don't be stupid. How can you, a slave, take on the responsibility? Don't worry, I believe I can handle it."
While silently eating, the Jinhua Palace fell into great panic.
Concubine Ning gritted her teeth and said, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Jin Ju said: "Yes, I saw Concubine Hua and the Queen meeting alone, and then for some reason the Queen jumped into the river holding Concubine Hua."
"Then what?"
"My slave didn't dare to look any further and left, but now the Queen is not dead, but Concubine Hua is. My Majesty, do you think..."
Concubine Ning scolded sternly, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Jinju is silent
Yes, she can't say her guess, and she doesn't dare to say it.
If the truth comes out and reaches the ears of interested people, it will bring trouble to the empress, and she will even be accused and framed by people from the empress' side.
If the queen is really so cruel, she can really do anything.
She asked cautiously, "So, what should we do?"
An enigmatic smile appeared on Concubine Ning's face, "Don't do anything."
Yes, she doesn't want to leave at all. As long as she takes good care of Qin Liangyuan and stands by, her father will naturally take care of things.
As long as the court goes to court tomorrow, all the memorials will be on the emperor's case, asking the emperor to investigate the death of Concubine Hua, silently saying that no matter how capable and smart he is, he can't hide his words.
late at night
When Emperor Xuanguang returned to Chuxiu Palace, he looked at the thin and stubborn back of the owner who was embroidering under the candlelight. Sitian noticed him first and was about to kneel down. He waved his hand to signal her to step back.
Si Tian smiled slightly and secretly retreated.
He walked gently behind her, but she suddenly turned her head, showed a faint smile, and shouted in a lazy voice: "Your Majesty, you are here."
He smiled, the strong lines on his face were somewhat gentle, and he picked her up and hugged her into his arms, "How is it? When did you wake up? Are you feeling unwell? How is the child?"
She couldn't help but laugh lowly in her arms, "Your Majesty, you ask so many questions in a row, how can I answer this?" Among so many questions, none of them asked what happened.
Mo Yan only felt a softness touching him deep in his heart. He chose to believe in himself.
Emperor Xuanguang put his strong arms around her waist and frowned, "Why do you seem to have lost weight? How do the palace people serve you?"
She smiled disapprovingly. She had been feeling nauseous and depressed these days, and sometimes she couldn't help but vomit. How could she not lose weight? She did not answer his question, but said tentatively: "The emperor didn't ask me why I was here."
Did it appear there? Everyone in the palace said that I was a concubine..."
