Catch a thief to warm the bed

The news that Empress Yan caused Jingyan's miscarriage and was placed under house arrest by Bai Chupei in Tianfeng Palace shocked the government and the public. Most officials did not believe it. No one believed that the gentle and kind Empress Yan was such a ruthless person.But a small number of officials felt that the queen's kindness was just a disguise, otherwise why the emperor had been on the throne for five years, but there were only four or five concubines in the harem, and besides the three princesses, there was only one prince.

Although the marriage between Empress Yan and Bai Chupei was decided by Bai Qihan and Yan Chen (Empress Yan's father), it was also on the premise that the two were in agreement.After the two got married, their love increased, and they were a pair of gods and couples in everyone's eyes.

After Bai Chupei came to the throne, his love for Empress Yan only increased. Except for Empress Yan's physical inconvenience, Bai Chupei mostly stayed in Tianfeng Palace. If Bai Chupei stayed in Tianfeng Palace every night, it is estimated that none of the three princesses would have it.

When Queen Yan gave birth to the prince, she lost too much blood and almost died. The imperial doctor said that it would be very difficult for Queen Yan to conceive again. Even if she was pregnant, it would not be easy to keep it.For this reason, Empress Yan was sad many times, and Bai Chupei personally fed her medicine and took her out to relax.

For the sake of the royal family, Empress Yan also hoped that Bai Chupei could visit other concubines. Every time Bai Chupei said yes, she turned around and returned to Lingtian Palace, never going to other concubines' bedrooms.

Bai Chupei only dotes on the queen. It was once rumored that the queen used sorcery to flatter the master in order to make herself the overlord of the harem. It was even rumored that Queen Yan wanted to control the emperor and turn Bai Chupei into a puppet. The real emperor was herself.

Bai Chucheng placed a lot of people around Bai Chupei, so when he heard someone say that Bai Chupei's few heirs were caused by the empress, he had a mocking smile on his face.

If someone really used magic to flatter the Lord, Bai Chucheng believed it was Princess Jingyan.

Bai Chupei married Jing Yan out of helplessness, and he thought he would dislike him, but what happened later made Bai Chucheng have to consider one thing: Jing Yan, does he know how to play tricks?

No matter how much Bai Chupei dotes on Empress Yan, he will not delay the court affairs, but because of Jing Yan, he has repeatedly refused to go to the court, and the ministers seek various reasons to drive him back.The incident of Jing Yan's miscarriage put the queen under house arrest in Tianfeng Palace without any investigation.

"Hey." Bai Chucheng felt a headache, and tapped his temple lightly, trying to drive away the pain.

Baichucheng has become very busy recently. When Lin Pei woke up, Baichucheng was not by his side, and the place where Baichucheng slept was frighteningly cold.In the first few days, Lin Pei rushed out of the room like crazy, and looked for Bai Chucheng everywhere in his coat.It was only when he saw Bai Chucheng working in the study that he felt relieved.

After a few days, Bai Chucheng also noticed Lin Pei's panic, had a good talk with Lin Pei at night, and assured Lin Pei that nothing would happen to him, and Lin Pei reluctantly agreed not to do the behavior that made people laugh in the morning.

"Chen Qian, how is the Queen doing now?" Bai Chucheng put the message aside, resting his elbows on the table, rubbing the center of his brows with his fingers.

Almost a month has passed since the incident, Bai Chupei did not deal with the queen, nor did he send anyone to interrogate the queen, he accompanied Jing Yan every day to make Jing Yan happy.

After losing her child, Jing Yan lost a lot of weight, and Bai Chupei felt cramped in her arms.For Jing Yan to take the medicine and food to regulate the body, Jing Yan eats very reluctantly every time, Bai Chupei sees the pain in his eyes and feels pain in his heart, and the hatred for the queen grows stronger in his heart.

No one cares about the life and death of Empress Yan. She is locked in Tianfeng Palace. Except for the eunuchs who deliver food, only the guards can see her. Coincidentally, one of the spies placed in the imperial army by Baichucheng happens to be in charge of guarding the empress. .

"The news from the spies is that the queen has been reciting sutras in front of Guanyin, and her body is getting thinner and thinner day by day, and the food she sent has not moved much." Chen Qian said regretfully, "If this continues, the emperor has not taken any action. It fell down first."

"Is this what Jing Yan wants to see the most?" Bai Chucheng sighed.

Lin Pei came in with food, this was the fifth time he brought in today.

Bai Chucheng was busy all the time, and he didn't have time to eat the food brought by Lin Pei. The food was hot and cold.

"Peipei, I'm sorry." Bai Chucheng came out from behind the table, took what was in Lin Pei's hand, and smiled apologetically.

Lin Pei wanted to complain a few words, but felt that he didn't understand the general situation, and seeing Bai Chucheng's black eye circles, all dissatisfaction disappeared immediately.

Rubbing the dark circles under Bai Chucheng's eyes with his thumb, Lin Pei rubbed his face distressedly when he saw that handsome face that had become haggard a lot: "I have nothing to help you, I can only help you cook and stew soup, but, You're still skinny."

Hearing Lin Pei's worry, Bai Chucheng took Lin Pei's hand that was making trouble on his face, put it on his lips and kissed it gently: "Where is it, I think I have gained a lot of weight."

"Stop talking, keep talking, Mr. Chen is going to shrink himself into the cracks in the ground." Lin Pei winked, and Bai Chucheng followed Lin Pei's line of sight, only to see Chen Qian looking around, with a smug look on his face. blushing.

"Ahem." Bai Chucheng covered his mouth and snickered. It was rare for him to see Chen Qian embarrassed, and he greeted him after laughing enough: "Chen Qian, you haven't eaten yet, come and eat together."

"Subordinate..."

"Why are you being so polite? I made three people." Lin Pei couldn't understand Chen Qian's coy look, knowing that he was embarrassed to disturb himself and Bai Chucheng, but after all, Chen Qian was working for Bai Chucheng, and you didn't even have a meal If they are not eaten by people, then it cannot be justified.

Both Bai Chucheng and Lin Pei sincerely invited, it would be hypocritical for Chen Qian to refuse, so he sat down.

"Chen Qian," Bai Chucheng said while eating, still not forgetting the topic just now, "Is there any news from Luochen?"

"Lu Chen has already told Yan Dongming about Queen Yan's house arrest. Yan Dongming is very worried about the Queen and clamors to come back. There has been no news in the past few days." Chen Qian thought for a while and said.

"What's happening with Yan Chen?" Bai Chucheng thought of the queen's father, Yan Chen, the commander of the imperial army.

"There is no movement for the time being." Chen Qian said a little strangely, "His daughter is under house arrest. As a father, he didn't say anything. His reaction is puzzling."

"There are only three possibilities." Bai Chucheng analyzed, "First, he thinks his daughter is innocent, and Bai Chupei will give the queen justice; second, even if the queen really caused Jing Yan to have a miscarriage, the emperor will not kill the queen— - He holds the imperial guards guarding the safety of the palace, and his son Yan Dongming is nominally the commander of the Bai family army; thirdly, he is disappointed with the queen and does not want to get involved in this mess."

Chen Qian thought about the three possibilities of Baichucheng, and expressed his guess: "The first and second possibilities are relatively high. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Yan Chen is waiting."

Chen Qian didn't specify what Yan Chen was waiting for, but the bright light in Bai Chucheng's eyes told Chen Qian that Bai Chucheng understood what he wanted to express.
