After the subjugation of the country, she became the favorite concubine of the enemy

The cold and hard touch came, and Ling Xiche realized what was different about her. She had never worn armor before.

"Sister Mei Concubine, I was wrong before, and my sister will apologize to you. My sister must forgive my sister."

The concubine's hand began to exert force, and Ling Xiche reacted to the hard armor, and pushed the concubine away suddenly to stand up, and the latter was pushed to the ground on his back.

Ling Xiche raised his hand to look, and there was a red mark on the back of his hand, which was a little swollen, but no blood was seen.

Seeing the concubine go to apologize, the queen mother was pushed away by Ling Xiche mercilessly. She slapped the table and stood up, "Presumptuous!"

Seeing that she was unsuccessful, the concubine began to feel guilty and afraid at this moment. She was afraid that Ling Xiche would push her away because she already knew her trick, so she hurried to the queen mother and cried, "Auntie, you have to make the decision for me. If you want to apologize, it's fine if Concubine Mei doesn't accept it, and even fight with this concubine, who has never been bullied like this since she was a child."

Ling Xiche stood on the spot and thought quickly, sorting out everything.

Did she just want to scratch her hand with the armor?Why?

Shen Chen said before that the dead waiter who was caught had poison on his nails, a poison that passed through blood to death.

Did she just want to poison herself?Could it be that the person behind all this is really Xu Shi?

Had poison been applied to her armor?

"Concubine Mei, you still don't kneel down!"

The queen mother's voice brought Ling Xiche back to his senses, left his seat, walked to the middle and knelt down.

But no, the Xu family has no reason to do this. If the Shen family's dynasty is unstable, it will not be of any benefit to them. Their Xu family's glory is attached to the Shen family.

Seeking to usurp) the throne?That's even more impossible.Uncle Guo is old. Although Xu Guang is well-known in the army, he knows nothing about politics. Besides, Shen Chen's current prestige in Duanguo cannot be shaken by them.Furthermore, if they really have a heart of rebellion, the Queen Mother will never allow it.This Empress Dowager Xu was strong when she was young. No matter what Xu did, she would not avoid her action. How could she put Shen Chen in danger.

Ling Xiche suddenly turned her head to look at Concubine Qi Shu who was sitting on the seat. Under Ling Xiche's cold eyes, Concubine Qi Shu was flustered.Although he quickly adjusted his mood, everything was under Ling Xiche's eyes.

"Concubine Mei, you are so brave to be so presumptuous at Ai's family's birthday banquet!"

Shen Chen stepped forward and said, "Mother, my son believes that Mei Fei's actions must not be out of disrespect to the mother, can the mother allow him to explain first?"

Ling Xiche finally sorted out his thoughts, and said bluntly, "The queen mother, the imperial concubine's armor is smeared with poison, and she wants to kill the concubine. Whether what the concubine said is true, please ask the imperial doctor to test it."

The imperial concubine panicked when she heard this, "Auntie, no, don't listen to his nonsense, I didn't, I didn't poison you."

Ling Xiche made a salute and said, "Queen Dowager, my concubine begs the Queen Mother to ask the imperial doctor to come over for a drug test."

The imperial concubine was so frightened that tears rolled out, she grabbed the hem of the queen mother's clothes and shook her head, like grabbing a life-saving straw.

Seeing that the imperial concubine was so frightened, the queen mother already knew it in her heart, so she said to Ling Xiche, "Concubine Mei, you have nothing to do now, why can you insist that the imperial concubine poisoned you? Today's mourning family birthday banquet is very special." Do you want to make chickens fly and dogs jump around?"

Shen Chen glared fiercely at the concubine and said, "Since the queen mother trusts the concubine so much, it must be Concubine Mei who made a mistake. Otherwise, concubine, you can pierce your fingertips with your armor yourself, as long as a drop of blood bleeds Come out, just one drop, if you are not poisoned, I will return your innocence, and I will never show favoritism to Concubine Mei."

Upon hearing this, the noble concubine gripped the queen mother's clothes even tighter, "Aunt..."

Shen Chen walked over, broke away the concubine's hand that was holding on to the queen mother's clothes, grabbed the concubine and dragged her aside.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What are you going to do!"

Shen Chen grabbed the armored hand of the imperial concubine and stabbed at her other arm. The imperial concubine screamed in fright while resisting vigorously.

"Emperor! Do you still see me as a queen mother!" The queen mother said angrily.

Shen Chen threw the noble concubine on the ground, and said loudly, "Send the imperial doctor!"

"Don't go!" The queen mother slapped the table and said.

The servants waiting around didn't know who to listen to for a while.

Shen Yu persuaded in a low voice, "Since my mother trusts my cousin, why not ask the imperial doctor to examine her?"

The queen mother pointed to Ling Xiche, who was still kneeling below, and said, "Is he poisoned? He's right there now, why does he just say what he says? You're asking the imperial doctor to test for poison now. It's so humiliating, we slowly Where will I put my family's face in the future!"

Seeing the stalemate, Ling Qiyuan thought, her brother must be right, then as long as the imperial doctor comes, everything will be revealed, and she feels a little uncomfortable today, so exaggerating a little bit should not be considered bullying.

Ling Qiyuan retched interrupted the tense atmosphere, and Shen Yu hurried to her side.

"Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you?"

Ling Qiyuan lowered her head and said guiltily, "I suddenly feel very uncomfortable and want to vomit again."

The Empress Dowager's attention also went to Ling Qiyuan all of a sudden, "Qi Yuan, has your moonflower water arrived yet?"

"Not yet."

The Empress Dowager hurriedly ordered her personal maid to say, "Quick, hurry up and ask for the imperial physician."

The imperial concubine was desperate when she heard that, she rushed over and grabbed the hem of the empress dowager's clothes again, "Aunt!"

The queen mother didn't want to talk to her at the moment, and her eyes signaled the maid to go quickly.

Not long after, the imperial doctor who was in charge of recuperating the queen mother arrived. He was also surnamed Xu and was the queen mother's cousin.

Doctor Xu took Ling Qiyuan's pulse carefully, and then saluted the queen mother, "Congratulations to the queen mother, congratulations to the king of Jin and princess Jin, the princess is happy."

The Empress Dowager, who usually seldom smiles, is now smiling happily, "Finally, there is an emperor's grandson. Take a closer look to see if you have read it wrong."

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, there will be nothing wrong."

The Queen Mother was still immersed in joy, "This is great, this is great!"

Shen Chen forcibly took off the imperial concubine's armor, and threw it to Imperial Physician Xu, "Emperor Xu, check whether there is poison on this armor."

Doctor Xu looked at the queen mother, who gave a hint, so he opened the medicine box and turned it upside down for a while, then said, "Return to Your Majesty, it is non-toxic."

"How is it possible! It's non-toxic, right? Then pierce your hand with the armor to prove to me that it's non-toxic!"

"Emperor!" The Empress Dowager's expression became serious again, "Doctor Xu is a person trusted by Aijia, are you questioning Aijia?"

"My son doesn't dare."

Shen Chen glared at the noble concubine, knowing that the queen mother was so protective, there was probably nothing he could do to her today.

The queen mother said to Ling Xiche again, "Concubine Mei slandered the noble concubine and disturbed Ai's family's birthday banquet. This crime has to be punished."

Before Shen Chen could figure out what to do, Ling Qiyuan pushed aside Shen Yu who was still trying to get in touch with the baby, ran to Ling Xiche and knelt down.

"Qi Yuan, what are you doing?" The Empress Dowager turned her head and ordered the maid, "Go and help the princess up."

Ling Qiyuan refused the maid's support, and asked the queen mother, "Can I ask the queen mother for a reward?"

The queen mother saw that she was not up yet, so she stepped forward to help her up, Ling Qiyuan dared not get up this time.

"Be careful. From now on in the palace, you don't need to salute, just ask for any reward you want."

Ling Qiyuan hurriedly said, "Qi Yuan and Concubine Mei get along very well, and I don't want to see him being punished. Empress, don't punish him, okay? Qi Yuan only wants this reward now."

The queen mother glanced at Ling Xiche.

In fact, the Queen Mother knew well that he was the victim this time, and it was only because of the face of the Xu family that he could only be wronged, but now that Ling Qiyuan has spoken, there is no reason to punish him .

The Queen Mother patted Ling Qiyuan's hand, "Okay, Aijia is looking at your face, and this time he is only punished for ten days to reflect. Come, sit next to Aijia."

Ling Qiyuan was led by the Queen Mother to sit on the seat with the Queen Mother. Ling Xiche also knew that this was probably the best result, so he just bowed and said, "Thank you Queen Mother."

Ling Xiche got up and looked at Concubine Qi Shu. This time, she didn't look away any more, and took a sip of the sake in front of her with a smile.
