Chapter 37 The cold-blooded and short-lived emperor vs. the surrogate princess 37
The captain of the secret guard apologized with a guilty look on his face: "Reporting to the emperor, my subordinates neglected their duties and failed to keep an eye on those assassins. They... all committed suicide by biting their tongues. Please punish the emperor!"
Qi Guantuo thought that the assassin would dare to go outside the Luoxia Palace to commit the assassination. He must have the intention of never coming back.
It's normal to commit suicide after failing a mission.
He asked in a deep voice: "Can you find out who is the mastermind behind this?"
The secret guard captain's face turned serious: "Nothing has been found yet, but my subordinates found this on one of the assassins."
Qu Xinyue's eyes fell on the object held by the captain of the secret guard in his hand.
rouge!
It's just that this rouge is different from ordinary rouge.
Ordinary rouge is thin in color and needs to be melted with water. Apply it between your fingers. When applied on your lips, the color is not very visible or correct, and it is easy to smudge when you eat.
The rouge in this rouge box exudes the rich fragrance of roses.
This is to collect the best rose petals, and use a clean stone mortar to slowly pound the petals into a thick paste.
The juice is squeezed out from the cochineal beetles, washed clean, mixed with beeswax and floral dew, steamed and condensed.
Just pick up a little bit with a hairpin and apply it on your lips, that's enough.
The color is extremely bright.
There was a person in the palace who liked to use roses as rouge.
Qu Xinyue's eyes flashed slightly.
"Did Yue'er see anything?" Qiguan Tuo lightly held Qu Xinyue's hand and asked.
Qu Xinyue raised her eyes and looked at Qi Guantuo seriously with her black and white eyes.
"There is a guess, but there is no evidence. The only concubine in the palace who likes to use roses as rouge is Concubine Jing."
Mainly, Jing Fei's lip balm is complicated in workmanship. It is said to be a very ancient secret recipe that not many people know how to make.
In addition, Concubine Jing likes roses. When Concubine Jing was a noble concubine, no one else collected the roses in the palace privately.
Although there is a lockdown now, everyone is used to not touching roses.
She knew Concubine Jing's secret recipe for rouge, which was why Qu Youran in her previous life took the recipe from Concubine Jing and showed it off to her after she took the back seat.
Qi Guantuo's eyes were dark, and he also guessed that it was Concubine Jing.
But how could Concubine Jing put Rouge, who was so easily grasped by others, into the hands of an assassin?
Moreover, these assassins will not appear in the palace out of thin air. Someone must have sent these people into the palace.
He called Manager Wei to investigate.
After the imperial doctor helped Qi Guantuo take care of his wound and all the people serving him had retreated, they were the only two people left in the entire hall.
Qi Guantuo restrained his majestic aura, smiled and shook Qu Xinyue's hand.
"Yue'er, would you like to lie down with me?" After saying that, he gave up half of the imperial concubine's soft couch.
Qu Xinyue rarely saw Qi Guantuo's childish behavior, so she refused funny: "In such a small place, what will happen if I go up and crush the emperor?"
Qi Guantuo's eyes flashed darkly and he lowered his voice: "I like to press against Yue'er, but Yue'er likes to be on top?"
Qu Xinyue just wanted to ask what the emperor was talking about? After realizing it later, he realized that Qi Guantuo had just spoken in a pornographic tone, and he was stunned and his face turned red.
Qi Guantuo inserted Qu Xinyue's fingers between his own, and their fingers intertwined.
He rubbed the back of Qu Xinyue's hand with his thumb and asked in a low voice.
"Yue'er, don't be angry with me in the future, okay? You can tell me whatever you want or don't want."
Qu Xinyue thought of the awkwardness of the past few days and knew in her heart that she fell in love with the man in front of her.
Otherwise, he wouldn't mind those concubines so much.
But in this world, every man who has some money to spare wants to have more concubines, not to mention Qi Guantuo is the most powerful man in the world.
But just now this man risked his life to block the knife for her, and Qu Xinyue couldn't help but look coldly at Qi Guan Tuo.
And Qi Guantuo said that he should try to believe him.
……
Qu Xinyue asked the question in her heart: "Your Majesty, what if this incident is really related to Concubine Jing? What should your Majesty do?"
Qi Guantuo silently raised his index finger and scratched Qu Xinyue's nose like punishment.
"The state has national laws, and families have family rules. If she really did it, I will deal with it impartially. What do you think?"
Qu Xinyue smiled and didn't take it seriously. After all, she still had a relationship with the Queen Mother, and Qi Guantuo had to give some face to the Queen Mother.
When Qi Guantuo saw that Qu Xinyue didn't believe what he said, he didn't care. Some things are better said than done.
The two of them talked quietly, and Qi Guantuo slowly closed his eyes.
Qu Xinyue saw that Qi Guantuo's face looked tired and his eyes were dark blue.
She coaxed softly: "Let's get some sleep first. I will wake up the emperor in an hour."
Qi Guantuo sniffed the familiar fragrance, hummed softly, and closed his eyes as he was told.
During this period, there were floods in many places in the south, and grain merchants maliciously hoarded grain, which made it difficult to deal with it.
Qi Guan Tuo's breathing became longer, and Qu Xinyue stood up to get a blanket to cover Qi Guan Tuo.
As soon as he walked out of the main hall, he saw a young man in black standing beside the corridor.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The young man in black stepped forward respectfully.
Qu Xinyue recognized that the other party was the secret guard captain she sent to Mrs. Qu to find out the news.
Thinking of Mrs. Qu's violation, Qu Xinyue was moved and asked: "What did you find?"
The secret guard captain replied in a deep voice: "We did find something. While Mrs. Qu was sleeping, we checked Mrs. Qu's clothes and found a pink medicinal powder."
“Finally, we took away some of the powder and consulted several famous doctors. Only then did we find out from a very old famous doctor that this powder was an abortion pill.
As long as the powder is placed within two meters of a pregnant woman's side and smells its fragrance every day, it can cause a miscarriage. "
After a pause, the secret guard team leader asked Qu Xinyue for her opinion: "My dear concubine, do you want your subordinates to arrest Mrs. Qu?"
Qu Xinyue still had doubts in her heart. If she didn't know clearly, she felt that just catching Mrs. Qu would be useless.
"Isn't this kind of medicinal powder rare to find on the market?" she asked.
The secret guard team leader answered affirmatively.
"Reply to my wife, there will be no medicine of this level on the market. The old famous doctor who can identify this medicine has seen the description of this medicine in the handwritten manuscripts of his ancestors."
Qu Xin smiled happily and asked, "How did Madam Naqu obtain this medicine?"
She narrowed her eyes and ordered in a deep voice: "Go and check Mrs. Qu's usual social interactions, and find a fake medicine with a similar smell to replace Mrs. Qu's powder."
The secret guard responded immediately.
When Qu Xinyue came back with the blanket, she unexpectedly found that Qi Guantuo had woken up.
She was stunned for a moment and asked worriedly: "You woke up so soon? Why don't you sleep more? Does the wound hurt?"
"The wound is fine, I just can't sleep without you." Qi Guantuo's eyes were filled with resentment.
Qu Xinyue was speechless. She found that Qi Guantuo had become less and less cold-hearted in front of her recently.
On the contrary, he was like a young boy. Sometimes he would say something so unrestrained that it made her heart beat so fast that she didn't know how to continue.
Seeing that Qu Xinyue's long eyelashes were trembling with embarrassment, Qi Guan Tuo smiled and took Qu Xinyue into his arms, nestling with him on the small soft couch.
Holding his soft sweetheart in his arms, Qi Guantuo sighed comfortably and asked lazily while playing with Qu Xinyue's onion-like fingers.
"Just after I fell asleep, I seemed to hear you talking, what were you talking about?"
Qu Xinyue thought that Qi Guantuo was very knowledgeable and might have heard about the origin of the medicine in Mrs. Qu's hands.
She asked in a normal tone: "Just a casual chat with the secret guard. By the way, does the Emperor know the incense smell of pine and cypress juice?"
Qi Guantuo was no longer satisfied with just playing with Qu Xinyue's fingers, and began to peck Qu Xinyue's petal-red lips from time to time.
"Is it the scent of pine and cypress juice?" Qi Guantuo said vaguely while kissing her, "I often smelled the scent of pine and cypress juice when I was a child."
