Jingyang Palace

Song Qingwan was patiently coaxing the baby in the cradle to sleep, and she had no idea that someone in the Yangxin Palace had already suggested deposing her.

Song Qingwan lowered her head and listened to the baby's breathing, then she let go of her shaking hand.

The nurse whispered, "Both children are asleep, Madam, go and have a rest!"

Song Qingwan couldn't help but look back at the two little guys. They were both sleeping peacefully with their eyes closed. Only then could she leave with peace of mind.

Then he said to the wet nurse, "Okay, I'll leave first. You've worked hard these days. The two children must be tired."

The wet nurse smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are not tired. Go and have a rest. Watching the little prince and the little princess grow up day by day, it is worth it for us to be so tired!"

"Okay, thanks to you guys." Song Qingwan said again and left.

After returning to the main hall, Haitang quickly poured Song Qingwan a cup of hot tea.

"My lady, drink some hot tea to calm yourself down. Although the weather is hot now, the imperial physician has warned you not to drink cold drinks during confinement."

Song Qingwan nodded and said, "Okay!" She was not a person who liked to eat cold food.

Haitang stepped forward and gently rubbed Song Qingwan's shoulders and said, "My lady, finally the bitterness has paid off. You don't have to worry all day long. Both of your heirs are so fair and cute. The emperor and the queen mother love them very much~"

Song Qingwan sighed, "Looking at their little faces, I really hope they can live a peaceful and happy life."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone reporting.

"Empress Qing has arrived!"

When Haitang heard that Concubine Qing was coming, she felt inexplicably nervous and glanced at her own mistress.

"My lady, Concubine Qing is here..."

"I heard it, it's okay." Song Qingwan patted Haitang's hand on her shoulder.

outside

When Yingcan saw Concubine Qing coming, she felt inexplicably unhappy, because she already knew that Concubine Qing was not as kind and harmless as she seemed.

"I pay my respects to Concubine Qing." Yingcan bowed.

"Well, where is your young lady?" Concubine Qing smiled slightly.

"The young lady is resting inside. She just coaxed the prince and princess to sleep, and she must be a little tired." Yingcan said this deliberately, wanting to see if Concubine Qing would back out.

However, Concubine Qing ignored her and walked straight into the room.

Yingcan looked at Concubine Qing's graceful back and the aura of the group of palace maids and eunuchs following behind her. They were completely different from her smiling appearance.

When Concubine Qing walked into the room, she saw that Song Qingwan was indeed resting.

"Sister!" Concubine Qing called affectionately

Song Qingwan pretended to stand up and said, "The Queen is here, Haitang, help me up."

Concubine Qing was also a smart person, so she said, "Sister, you just gave birth not long ago, there is no need to get up, just take a good rest."

Song Qingwan nodded and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Madam."

Concubine Qing looked around and asked, "Where are the little prince and princess? I haven't had a good look at them yet."

Song Qingwan said, "Oh, what a coincidence! If I had known that the queen was coming, I wouldn't have rushed to coax them to sleep. The two children just fell asleep. I'm afraid I won't be able to see them today. Children sleep lightly and wake up at the slightest noise."

Concubine Qing didn't care. "Ah... that's a pity. Maybe next time."

After talking about the prince, Concubine Qing suddenly looked at Haitang beside her, and then looked at Song Qingwan.

Song Qingwan immediately understood what Concubine Qing meant.

Instructing Haitang to go down and do the work, "Haitang, go see what Yingcan is busy with outside. Go out and see if there is anyone who needs help. You are not needed in the house for the time being. I want to chat with Concubine Qing."

Haitang hesitated and said, "My lord..."

Song Qingwan signaled with her eyes, "Go ahead."

Haitang said "Yes..." but finally she went out with lingering fear.

After Haitang left, Concubine Qing suddenly grabbed Song Qingwan's hand and said, "Oh no, sister. I heard that the Second Prince went to the Yangxin Palace because the Queen was ill, and he wants to ask the Emperor to depose you!"

Song Qingwan was surprised and asked, "What?!"

Concubine Qing said anxiously, "Sister, go and have a look! After all, the Second Prince is the legitimate son, and us concubines, no matter how noble our status may be on the surface, are nothing more than concubines in the end."

"If the emperor really listened to what the second prince said, what should I do? Your two children are still so young..."

After hearing this, Song Qingwan could no longer sit still.

He stood up immediately and said, "My Lady, what should I do? How should I persuade her if I go there?"

Concubine Qing comforted her, "Don't worry. The emperor dotes on you the most, and you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. If you die, you don't need to say anything. I believe that the emperor will lift you up high and let you go gently for the sake of you and the two children."

"If you really don't know what to say when you go, you can only use the excuse that the Second Prince is a child. You can't let the Emperor listen to the words of a child."

Song Qingwan nodded solemnly, "Okay, thank you for your advice, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Qing continued, "I also accidentally heard from the palace servants that the Second Prince ran to the Yangxin Palace in a rage while mumbling something."

"As soon as I heard it, I felt something was wrong, so I came to tell you right away."

Song Qingwan said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand your kindness and will not implicate you. I also heard this from the palace maids."

Concubine Qing said with satisfaction, "Okay, I'm glad you understand. I'll leave first. You hurry up and pack up. Go quickly. Don't let the truth come out. The matter is a foregone conclusion."

Song Qingwan said, "Yes, I will send you off respectfully."

As soon as Concubine Qing went out, she heard Song Qingwan calling out, "Haitang, come in and change my clothes!"

Haitang ran in hurriedly.

After seeing this scene, Concubine Qing's lips corners inadvertently raised slightly.

"Your Majesty is so kind-hearted!" Ying'er said as she supported Concubine Qing as they walked.
