Chapter 296: Emperor with Hidden Disease VS Tofu Xishi (16)
Wushuang, who moved from the side hall of Fengyi Palace to the main hall, looked at the things in front of him, smiled and said, "Cui Zhu, take them down and wash them."
"Soak the medicinal powder I gave you in water, and then wash it with the water." Wushuang warned.
"Yes." Cuizhu responded.
Judging from his master's intention, he knew that these things must have been added with ingredients. Without even thinking about it, he knew that they were sent by other concubines, hoping to cause their master to miscarry.
The master has only been pregnant for more than a month, and it is easy for her to miscarry before she has reached three months of stable pregnancy.
So the other concubines thought of giving her master something, so that her master would not be the one to give birth to the emperor's eldest son.
Wushuang didn't care at all. These things with musk and safflower were actually slightly less lethal. What was more lethal were some secret medicines.
For example, the thousand-day drunkenness that the Queen Mother gave Qin Mu before was a secret medicine.
And among the things sent to Wushuang now, many of them are things with secret medicine added.
Cining Palace.
"Now that Chen Xiuyi is pregnant, the emperor will definitely not let her sleep with her. This is your chance." The Queen Mother stared at Concubine Shu.
"The reason you weren't pregnant before was because the emperor didn't touch you, so this time you let him touch you and get pregnant successfully." The Queen Mother warned with a serious expression.
Concubine Shu is also very motivated. She will definitely get pregnant before others.
Not only Concubine Shu, but also other concubines now knew that Wu Shuang was pregnant, and they all turned their attention to her and tried every means to get rid of the child in her belly.
Qin Mu, on the other hand, was often pulled away by them and wanted to conceive their child as soon as possible during Wushuang's pregnancy.
But it's a pity that what Qin Mu was before is what he is now, and the concubines can't do anything to him.
……
Cining Palace.
"Emperor, what are you going to do? Liu is a concubine from a humble background. Because she is the first to be pregnant, it is already her God-given honor to be granted the title of Xiu Yi. Do you still want to pamper her alone?"
"As an emperor, how can you be so affectionate with your children? She, Mrs. Liu, is not qualified to be the mother of a country. You must have other children."
"There are so many noble ladies and concubines in the harem. If you don't have children with them, what are you going to do?" the Queen Mother accused angrily.
It has been almost two months since Wushuang revealed that she was pregnant. The concubines in the harem tried all kinds of tricks to get rid of her child, but no one succeeded. Although Wushuang's Fengyi Palace was not iron-clad, it was not that easy to harm her.
The concubines still want to have children with Qin Mu, but so far they have not succeeded, which makes the Queen Mother very unhappy.
Of course, what made her most unhappy was that Concubine Shu had not succeeded. Concubine Shu had still not succeeded in sleeping with Qin Mu.
This made the Queen Mother hate that iron cannot become steel, and also resented Qin Mu.
"She, Mrs. Liu, is a businesswoman. She is not even the daughter of a wealthy businessman, she is just the daughter of a small tofu shop owner. What qualifications does she have to be the mother of a country?"
"Emperor, don't be confused!" the Queen Mother said seriously.
Qin Mu listened to the Queen Mother's words with a calm expression, and after she finished speaking, he said calmly, "Liu is not qualified to be the mother of a country, then who can?"
"The noble concubine Li? Or the virtuous concubine Liu? Or the Zhaoyi Wang family?"
"According to your opinion, Queen Mother, only women from the Zhao family are qualified to become the mother of the Qin Dynasty?" Qin Mu stared at the Queen Mother and asked.
"Just like when, Queen Mother, you killed my biological mother, deceived everyone and won the position of Queen Mother by treating me as your own child?"
"Are you still thinking that if I insist on not letting Concubine Shu have a child, you will let Mrs. Liu give the child to Concubine Shu to raise?"
The Queen Mother was surprised when she heard what he said and said in disbelief, "How do you know these things?"
She succeeded in changing her son because it was a long time ago, and the harem was relatively chaotic at that time, and the previous dynasty was also in chaos because the late emperor's older child took over the throne.
Concubine Chen, the great beauty who was the most favored in the late emperor's harem, was killed by her during childbirth and her child was robbed.
Not many people know about this.
"Why can't I know?" Qin Mu said calmly, "If others don't know but you can do nothing but yourself, does the Queen Mother really think that no one in the world will know what you have done?"
"My mother-in-law was killed by you. If you still want to maintain the dignity of the queen mother, you'd better not interfere in anything." Qin Mu stared into her eyes and said.
"Otherwise, I will not let you go, not only you, Concubine Shu, but also the Zhao family behind you."
Qin Mu had no feelings for his biological mother. He had been raised by the Queen Mother since he was born. His biological mother died after he was born, so he definitely had no feelings for her.
But after all, the Queen Mother killed his biological mother, so if he doesn't take revenge, is it not unfilial?
The Queen Mother looked at him with shock on her face, "What did you say? What are you going to do to Mrs. Zhao?"
Qin Mu looked at him and said, "Queen Mother, I hope you can understand that you can become the Queen Mother because of me."
"You have been the Queen Mother for so many years and have a transcendent status in the palace because of me." Qin Mu's expression was calm, but his words were extremely cold -
"If you did anything to Chen Xiuyi, I don't mind using the Zhao family to bury her with her."
"Do you understand?" Qin Mu looked at her and asked.
The Queen Mother was really frightened.
She thought Qin Mu didn't know his life experience, but she didn't expect that he actually knew.
"You may not know that my life experience was actually told to me by my father." Qin Mu said with a slight smile.
The Queen Mother's eyes widened even more.
"What did you say? Your father...how could your father..." The Queen Mother was really frightened. Did the late emperor actually know about her attack on Concubine Chen?
But...if the late emperor knew about it, why didn't he avenge Concubine Chen?
"The evidence that you murdered the late emperor's concubine Chen was also given to me by my father." Qin Mu continued.
The Queen Mother was even more puzzled, why is this happening?
Is it...
"Hahahaha... The late emperor actually knew what the Ai family had done... Since he knew it, he did not take revenge on the Ai family... It seems that what he said about how much he loved Concubine Chen was all lies!"
"Before Concubine Kui Chen died, she was still thinking about the late emperor. It turns out that the late emperor knew how she died, but he didn't do anything to me, the murderer who murdered her, and allowed me, an enemy, to raise her son."
"Hahaha..." The Queen Mother was extremely happy.
How jealous she was of Concubine Chen back then.
Concubine Chen was the new concubine who entered the palace when the late emperor was in his middle age. However, because of her charming face, she doted on the harem and was named Concubine Chen before she even gave birth to a child.
That's "Chen"!
It was clear that in the harem of the Great Qin Dynasty, the concubine position belonged to the noble and virtuous fourth concubine, but the late emperor made an exception and gave Concubine Chen the title "Chen".
It was also because the late emperor had a concubine Chen, so when Qin Mu changed the title of Wu Shuang to "Chen" before, her reaction was so big.
The same charming appearance, the same favored harem, the same "Chen".
How uncomfortable does this make the Queen Mother?
