The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 295 August

Within one day, Wen Cairen, the Imperial Observatory, and the Wen family were all dealt with.

Several concubines who were making fun of themselves in Changxin Palace that day were also given verbal warnings by Emperor Yongjia.

Since Wen Cairen was the only one who did this in this incident, no one else could be convicted.

But after being clearly warned by Emperor Yongjia, Concubine Xin Shu, who was in Chuxiu Palace, could not sleep.

On the one hand, he was angry about the fact that Qin Liuse was unharmed. On the other hand, his emotions were too volatile and his milk was blocked.

The anger seemed to be forced to her chest, and Concubine Xin Shu grabbed the maid and pinched her in pain.

"How could she be so lucky? She was unscathed in such a big incident. How could she not be wronged to death! The Empress Dowager Dong issued a house arrest order for her, but the Emperor released her today!"

The maid endured the pain in her arm and comforted Concubine Xin Shu, "My Lady, please ask the old aunt to give you a massage to dredge your meridians. Your Lady is in such pain. I feel sorry for you."

Concubine Xin pinched her and said angrily, "Then hurry up and go, or you'll make me die of pain!"

The maid could only leave the main hall as if she had been pardoned and run out, rubbing her arms as she walked.

On the other side, Qin Huaijin of Shu Yuexuan felt very uncomfortable after receiving the warning from Emperor Yongjia.

She was in Changsheng Palace and did not show any obvious signs, so she didn't know why Emperor Yongjia came to warn her.

Moreover, Qin Huaijin didn’t think that Emperor Yongjia could see that he was behind this matter.

Although Wen Cairen met Taoist Nun Shi that day, Qin Huaijin deliberately said those words in front of Wen Cairen, and Taoist Nun Shi received benefits from their Qin family and also promised to guide her in front of Wen Cairen.

For example, the acupuncture techniques of the little people were all taught to Wen Cairen by Taoist nun Shi.

Otherwise, Wen Cairen didn't have those talismans in his hand, and she was lying to Wen Cairen, saying that other people's children blocked her child's luck. With such instigation, Wen Cairen came up with this countermeasure.

Qin Huaijin hated Wen Cairen in her heart. If she hadn't drugged her, she wouldn't have been in such a miserable state.

Qin Huaijin originally thought that he had carried out this plan very securely, without any loopholes, and almost foolproof.

I don’t know what went wrong, but Qin Liuse actually ruined the situation.

Originally, Qin Huaijin wanted to kill two birds with one stone. After the incident, when Qin Liuse was dead, he would expose the matter of Taoist Shi and get rid of Wen Cairen, who was an eyesore at the same time.

Qin Huaijin always remembered that Wen Cairen had caused him to be unable to have children.

Now Qin Liuse is safe and sound, Wen Cairen has been banished to the cold palace, and the Wen family has also been liquidated by Emperor Yongjia.

Qin Huaijin felt unhappy because he let Qin Liuse escape.

Qin Huaijin let the maid bring in hot water to soak her feet. The more she thought about it, the more pain in her chest began to rise. With a "pop", she kicked the basin of hot water away.

"This is really too much. How did she get away with it?"

"My lady, please calm down." Chun Tao comforted her master while cleaning up the mess. "After all, Wen Cairen didn't get any benefit this time, and he can't come up with any more tricks."

"The Wen family was banished by the emperor, and the Imperial Observatory was also imprisoned by the emperor. It's a good thing after all. As for Qin Zhaoyi, we can settle the matter later, isn't it?" Chuntao comforted Qin Huaijin.

Because the Imperial Observatory, an institution dedicated to serving the country, had a scandal of having an affair with someone.

Therefore, this time Zhang Tianshi had no room for maneuver at all. Emperor Yongjia used him as a warning to others to prevent the Imperial Observatory from becoming the same as him.

The fate of that person from the Imperial Observatory was probably even worse than that of Wen Cairen. He probably even lost his head.

Thinking of this, Qin Huaijin felt somewhat relieved. She glanced at Chuntao. She was not as open-minded as Chuntao.

After all, the reason why Qin Liuse was able to resolve this situation was because Emperor Yongjia doted on her and protected her.

This alone was enough to make Qin Huaijin so angry that he couldn't eat or sleep.

This was more heartbreaking than being cut into pieces.

"The emperor has her in his heart! How could the emperor have her in his heart? How could she have such a great honor? If it weren't for my Qin family, she would never have had the chance to meet the emperor and serve him."

Qin Huaijin felt that the Qin family's negligence for a while paved a smooth road for Qin Liuse, allowing her to enjoy endless wealth and glory from then on.

Therefore, she thought that if the Qin family had not done such an unnecessary thing in the past, then everything Qin Liuse owns now should belong to her. No matter how much the emperor favors her, it is only for the sake of the Qin family's face.

Chuntao was wiping Qin Huaijin's feet with a cotton handkerchief while thinking about how to comfort her.

"Wait until our beauty's belly is well, cherish her and give birth to a prince. The emperor will naturally favor her. I think this time, Qin Zhaoyi can get the emperor's favor, mostly because of Hai'er in her belly."

In order to comfort her master, Chuntao said all kinds of nonsense.

Seeing that Qin Huaijin's face seemed to be a little better, Chuntao said, "The people Qin Zhaoyi offended in the palace are not just people in our palace. The Queen Mother Dong also dislikes him."

"My beauty, how about looking for the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace?"

"Of course I have to go look for it." Qin Huaijin said lightly.

After all, Qin Huaijin wanted to frame Qin Liuse and get rid of her, but in order to stay out of it, he was never willing to do it himself and always instigated others behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, Qin Huaijin got angry again and slammed the table. "But now because of her, the Queen Mother Dong has closed the door to no one. I don't know when she will be willing to let people go to the Cining Palace to pay a visit!"

Yesterday, the Empress Dowager Dong confined Qin Liuse's feet, but today Emperor Yongjia lifted the ban.

What’s even funnier is that after this incident broke out, the Empress Dowager Dong simply closed the door and refused to see anyone, saying that she was not feeling well and was temporarily concentrating on worshipping Buddha. She would invite people to visit her after she recovered.

How could the Empress Dowager Dong, who loves so much the hustle and bustle of life, shut herself away from people like this?

With that kind of personality, she wished she could control more matters in the harem in her own hands.

That's why this happened this time. Qin Huaijin felt that it must be because of something Emperor Yongjia said.

Speaking of which, Qin Huaijin guessed wrong this time.

There was no need for Emperor Yongjia to say anything in person. A shrewd person like the Empress Dowager Dong, after smelling the wind, felt that this matter was not good. Emperor Yongjia actually acted so swiftly and decisively to wipe out the lairs of Concubine Wen, the Wen family, and Zhang Tianshi. It was clear that he was determined to protect Qin Liuse.

The Empress Dowager Dong was also afraid of being implicated, although she was confident that Emperor Yongjia would not do anything to her. Because even if Emperor Yongjia disliked her actions, he had the obligation of filial piety to bear, and he could not touch his mother.

But people always have to have dignity.

As the saying goes, people need dignity and trees need bark. Empress Dowager Dong was afraid that Emperor Yongjia would reveal her past, so she had to settle for the next best thing and used this method to stay indoors.

It was also a statement in front of Emperor Yongjia that she would not interfere in these matters for the time being, and she was asking Emperor Yongjia not to bother with her.

However, how could the Empress Dowager Dong tell anyone such private matters?

Therefore, he told outsiders that he was worshipping Buddha behind closed doors and not seeing anyone.

Even if Qin Huaijin wanted to go to the Queen Mother Dong to fan the flames, he couldn't find a way.

-

In fact, there was no need for the Queen Mother Dong to confine Qin Liuse. When the days turned to May, it meant that the real summer heat had arrived.

Qin Liuse used to be not afraid of the heat, but now that her belly is big, she seems to have become a different person and the summer has become particularly bitter for her. In May, June and July, Qin Liuse hardly went out.

I spent my time in Zhaoyang Palace every day. Only in the morning and evening, when it was still cool, I might go out for a walk. But I didn't dare go too far because I was almost due to give birth. I was afraid that if I went too far, I would suddenly give birth and wouldn't be able to get back.

Originally, Qin Liuse thought she was very calm, but the closer it got to August, the more nervous she became.

When joking with his maid, he said self-deprecatingly that he was just like the scholar who was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

I am anxiously looking forward to that day, but when it is about to come, I am afraid that I am not ready.

That day is taking a long time to come, so I am looking forward to it. Why is it still not coming?

Qin Liuse endured June and July in this tossing and turning mood, and finally made it to August.
