Chapter 261 Small-minded
Although there is absolutely no evidence to prove that she did it, it seems that in the eyes of these people, they all point the finger at her.
Qin Liuse looked at Princess Changle lying on the hospital bed and touched her belly, feeling sad. Now she was going to be a mother too, so how could she not understand Concubine Ning's feelings?
She was not afraid of being misunderstood by others, but she was afraid that Concubine Ning would also think that she was the one who did it, and that would be bad if a rift arose.
The person who did this was obviously trying to sow discord between her and Concubine Ning.
Qin Liuse brainstormed and thought about the people who might want to frame her.
In her opinion, both Concubine Xin Shu and Concubine Li Xian were possibilities, but the people below them were also not completely impossible.
Because there seem to be quite a few people in this palace who dislike her.
The imperial physician opened the medicine box, took out a handful of silver needles, and prepared to give Princess Changle acupuncture.
Emperor Yongjia waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.
The Lantern Festival dinner ended so unpleasantly.
Before leaving, Concubine Xie and her group were still a little dissatisfied, thinking that the emperor was too biased by not punishing Qin Liuse.
But at this time, the emperor was in a bad mood, and no one dared to rush into the muzzle of the gun, for fear of being implicated.
Qin Liuse knew that there was no point in staying here, so he bowed and walked out.
On the way back to Zhaoyang Palace, she felt a little cold. Her child was only three months old, and already some people disliked her so much. How would she be able to guard against this if the child was born in the future?
After returning to the palace, Qin Liuse sat by the window, looking at the full moon in the sky, drinking the hot milk that Qingqing gave her, and pondering the ins and outs of the matter.
It seems like an ordinary thing, but it is carried out so appropriately and every step is well designed.
No, it should be said that it was well calculated.
There was no need to plan at all. As long as I knew that she didn't like sesame seeds, I knew that she would naturally put the bowl of sweet soup next to her and not eat it tonight.
And the person who designed this also knew very well that Princess Changle liked sweets and loved sesame soup, so when the child saw the delicious food on Qin Liuse's table, she would be greedy and would most likely ask her for some.
The scheming behind this is so frightening that it even makes me feel a chill down my spine.
Qin Liuse felt that Concubine Li Xian should not have such a secretive mind.
But there are more than just Concubine Xin Shufei in the palace who have such scheming minds, so Qin Liuse can't actually be sure whether it is Concubine Xin Shufei or Concubine Li Xianfei.
If she can't figure it out herself, how can she ask others for advice?
For her, everyone is possible.
Qingqing looked at Qin Liuse with some depression. While massaging her legs, she comforted her not to take it seriously. "Does Zhaoyi think this matter is of great significance?"
Qin Liuse tapped the table lightly with her fingers, looking at the maids coming and going outside, bringing her hot water for bathing.
He sneered and said, "That's really a very interesting story."
She doesn't like sweets or sesame seeds. This only happened after she became pregnant.
Before she became pregnant, she loved eating sweets and sesame seeds and didn't really restrict herself from them.
And the person who knows this must be in Zhaoyang Palace.
In other words, there are other people's spies in her Zhaoyang Palace.
What long hands.
Qin Liuse finished her bath, changed into her pajamas and walked out of the clean room. Aunt Mingyue came in and whispered in her ear, "The emperor sent someone to tell her that Princess Changle's condition has improved and she has fallen asleep."
After hearing this, Qin Liuse's heart finally settled down.
He kept repeating, "It's all right, it's all right."
After all the calculations, Qin Liuse never intended to take the children in the palace into account. The person who was trying to harm her this time was really unscrupulous.
Emperor Yongjia sent someone to inform her of Princess Changle's situation, which allowed Qin Liuse to sleep well.
But, I still feel a little sorry in my heart.
So the next day, Qin Liuse had breakfast, stayed in the yard for a while, and then, served by Qingqing Zijin, went to Concubine Ning's palace.
He was preparing to check on Princess Changle, but before he reached Changxin Palace, he ran into Concubine Li Xian, who was also going to Changxin Palace to visit Princess Changle.
As soon as she saw Qin Liuse, Concubine Li Xian smiled and started talking to her, telling her about what happened last night. "It's really unexpected. Sister, don't take it to heart. No one can do anything about this kind of thing. Who could have known that there were peanuts in the sesame sweet soup?"
Although Concubine Li Xian's words sounded like she was trying to persuade Qin Liuse, the smile in her eyes and the sarcasm at the corners of her mouth made it clear to Qin Liuse that she was trying to make fun of her and laugh at her.
Qin Liuse had no way to prove her innocence in this matter, so Concubine Li could make fun of her so openly.
Qin Liuse is pregnant now, and her temper doesn't seem to be as good as before. After hearing what Concubine Li said, she retorted to her without any hesitation.
"When I heard what Sister Xianfei said, I thought that Sister was also involved in this matter."
"How can you be so sure, sister? Even the emperor didn't blame you, nor did he say that you were the one who did it."
When Concubine Li heard this, a crack finally appeared on her face.
She did want to mock Qin Liuse, but the emperor did not blame her.
However, Qin Liuse's words were really irritating. Concubine Li smiled and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? I didn't mean that. I was just afraid that you would worry too much and have a miscarriage, so I wanted to persuade you."
Qin Liuse said in his heart, I don’t believe you.
She stroked her belly and said to Concubine Li, "The emperor's child is naturally blessed by heaven. Even if someone wants to frame him, the emperor's dragon body will protect him, so those who want to frame him will not succeed."
When Concubine Li heard what Qin Liuse said, her expression turned a little ugly. She felt that her words implied that she was the manipulator of this matter.
Concubine Li sneered, "Now that my sister is pregnant, her temper has changed. What she said is more interesting than what is written in the storybook and sung on the stage. What good is this kind of thing for me? Why would I harm these two unrelated people?"
Qin Liuse smiled and said, "Sister, don't take it seriously. I was just joking with you."
Concubine Li didn't expect that she was too serious and Qin Liuse had such an attitude. She didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Sister, you really have a bad temper. It's fine if you act like this in front of me, but don't do it in front of the emperor and offend him."
Qin Liuse smiled and said, "Since I got pregnant, my temper has become a little out of control. I hope you can forgive me."
In fact, Qin Liuse said so many things just now to anger Concubine Li on purpose.
I just wanted to test whether she did it.
If it was her who did it, given Concubine Li's petty personality, she would have avoided it as much as possible and would not have ridiculed her so directly and clearly.
So when Qin Liuse saw Concubine Li's answer and reaction, she secretly concluded that this matter might not have much to do with Concubine Li.
Early in the morning, Qin Liuse pulled Concubine Li and had a tantrum. When the two of them walked into Changxin Palace, it could be said that Concubine Li's face did not look very good.
But when he got inside and saw Princess Changle, he put on a smile again.
Concubine Ning had obviously stayed up all night, her eyes were a little blue, and she didn't look very well.
Although Qin Liuse did not do this, it was the sweet soup that was taken from her after all.
Seeing Concubine Ning's haggard appearance, he felt guilty and sorry for a moment.
However, Concubine Ning did not intend to blame Qin Liuse. She greeted Concubine Li and Qin Liuse politely, asked them to sit down, and asked the maid to serve tea and snacks.
While telling them about Princess Changle's condition, "There are still some red spots on her face, but the swelling has gone down. The situation is much better than last night."
"It's fine, the doctor said I don't need to stay by her side, but as a mother, I feel bad." Concubine Ning said as she ate her bird's nest porridge, "I was so anxious last night when I saw Changle like that."
Concubine Ning told Concubine Li Xian and Qin Liuse what she was thinking, "During this period of time, as a mother, I have indeed neglected the princess. I have always been taking care of the third prince and have forgotten about Changle."
"Last night, I felt a little emotional when I saw her lying in my arms. She has grown so big in the blink of an eye. I didn't sleep much the whole night."
Just looking at my daughter like this, I couldn't fall asleep because I felt guilty for mistreating her.
Concubine Li looked at Concubine Ning with deep sympathy, her eyes full of motherly love, as if she could empathize with Concubine Ning.
"As mothers, aren't we all so devoted to our children? When Anle had a high fever just now, I took her to soak in ice water to lower her temperature." Concubine Li said as if she was about to cry.
Qin Liuse curled her lips inwardly after hearing this, thinking he was really pretending.
If she didn't know the inside story, she would have really thought that Concubine Li loved Princess Anle so much.
He is just using her to win favor. He really knows how to flatter himself.
If she really loved her daughter as much as she said, why would she let her daughter have a high fever first and then use the trick of inflicting pain on her daughter to gain the sympathy of Emperor Yongjia?
Qin Liuse saw that Concubine Ning yawned after speaking a few words and knew that she was very sleepy.
Not long after, he said goodbye to Concubine Ning, telling her to go to sleep quickly and not to look back at Princess Changle, otherwise she would ruin her body.
When Concubine Li saw that Qin Liuse was about to leave, she didn't want to stay, so she followed Qin Liuse away.
Although he didn't stay in Changxin Palace for long this time, Princess Changle recovered after a few days, and Qin Liuse met Concubine Ning again.
This time, it was not Qin Liuse who took the initiative, but Concubine Ning who sent someone to invite Qin Liuse over.
It was said that Concubine Ning was bored in Changxin Palace, so she invited Concubine Qin to come over to have some tea and reminisce about the past.
