Chapter 283 Aroma
"You don't believe me? It's up to you. It's your freedom to believe it or not. I don't care. As long as you are willing to continue to be intimate with the son of a murderer, you can do whatever you want. As for whether your mother's spirit in heaven can rest in peace, it has nothing to do with me!"
The Queen Mother looked at Su Qingqing with resentment. Her words sounded like a curse. After she finished speaking, she no longer looked at Su Qingqing and Rong Que, and turned around to walk towards her own bedroom.
Rong Que stood behind the empress dowager and spoke each word with emphasis.
"From now on, all supplies here will be cut off. When you give me a complete explanation, I will provide you with supplies again."
All the palace servants in the Empress Dowager's bedroom changed their expressions drastically.
Cut off all supplies?
What does it mean to cut off all supplies?
Do you want to starve them to death or let them die of thirst?
"His Majesty!"
All the palace servants knelt down in unison and kowtowed beggingly.
Rong Que stared at the empress dowager's back. The moment Rong Que finished speaking, the empress dowager's shoulders stiffened for a moment, and then, without looking back, she strode back to her bedroom.
When the Queen Mother disappeared, Jixiang stood beside Su Qingqing, not caring about Rong Que, the emperor, and asked Su Qingqing directly, "Master, do you want to torture me to extract a confession? I will go and catch him right away!"
In Jixiang's eyes, what a shitty emperor, what a shitty empress dowager, she only has one master, Su Qingqing.
Su Qingqing shook her head. "Why bother? They are people who have never appeared in my life. I am not that interested."
Su Qingqing said so, but Rong Que felt as if a knife was stabbing his heart.
He knew clearly that even though he knew that the Queen Mother's words were half true and half false, even though he knew that the Queen Mother's words were meant to sow discord, the weight of these words inevitably fell on his and Su Qingqing's hearts.
No matter how much Su Qingqing said that she didn't care, he couldn't take it seriously and think that she really didn't care.
If this thorn between the two people's hearts is not removed, it will be nourished by their blood and sweat, and grow thicker and thicker. Sooner or later, he and Su Qingqing will break up because of this matter.
So, no matter what the truth is, he must make it clear.
As soon as they came out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Rong Que had already issued the order to cut off all supplies here. Su Qingqing sat in the sedan chair, and the two of them went straight back to the imperial study.
Leaning on the sedan chair, Su Qingqing looked at Rong Que outside through a thin layer of veil.
As an emperor, Rong Que walked beside her sedan chair with great pleasure, as if he were her bodyguard.
It's impossible to say that I wasn't moved.
But she had to admit that although she could confront the Queen Mother expressionlessly, she was indeed troubled in her heart.
Is that woman really her mother?
Did her mother really die the way the Queen Mother said?
If not, what is the truth?
She really couldn't help thinking about it, so when Rong Que invited her back to the imperial study just now, she agreed without hesitation.
Rong Que didn't want to get in the way of them, and Su Qingqing didn't want to either.
so……
This princess of Da Qi will most likely stay.
Closing her eyes and leaning back in the sedan, Su Qingqing sighed that Da Qi was well prepared this time.
Now she was curious about three things.
First, what exactly happened back then.
Second, the last time King Yu rebelled, he clearly massacred all the concubines and descendants in the entire palace. Why did he leave the cold palace alone? Was he disdainful or didn't care, or was he taboo about something?
Su Qingqing prefers the third party.
taboo.
As for the third point, how did Da Qi know such a confidential matter of Dayan State, so that when the envoy of Da Qi came to marry, the princess of Da Qi could appear at such a perfect time.
Even the threats were measured just right.
Su Qingqing closed her eyes all the way from the Empress Dowager's bedroom to the imperial study. Images flashed through her mind. The sedan shook and she couldn't help but dry heave in nausea.
Rong Que, who was standing beside him, was so frightened that he hurriedly called for the sedan to stop, "What happened?"
Jixiang was so frightened that Rongque was about to ask the imperial physician to take Su Qingqing's pulse, and hurriedly said, "The queen caught a cold last night. Doctor Zhu checked it this morning and prescribed a medicine."
Rong Que looked at Su Qingqing with concern.
Su Qingqing subconsciously stopped stroking her belly and smiled at Rong Que, "Is it that serious? You look as if I have an incurable disease.
Your Majesty, can we not make such a fuss?
If you keep doing this every day, you can bear it, but I can't."
Rong Que also felt that he was making a fuss out of nothing. He smiled and touched Su Qingqing's hand. "It's okay. Are you tired? Are you still going to the imperial study?"
Su Qingqing said, "Yes, of course, we must go. Okay, let's hurry up. I just talked to the Queen Mother for a long time. I am thirsty. Hurry up and get me a bowl of honey water."
The sedan chair started again. Because of this little episode, Rong Que's expression, which had been tense all the way, relaxed a little. "Why do you want to drink honey water again? Don't you like almond milk?"
Su Qingqing thought to herself, I’m afraid I’ll have a miscarriage after drinking the almond milk.
"I love to drink something sweet like honey water. In addition to the honey water, can you also give me a plate of braised chicken feet? I'm already hungry."
Rong Que gave a short smile, "What kind of combination is this?"
As they talked, the atmosphere became a lot more relaxed, and by the time the sedan chair arrived at the imperial study, Rong Que's gloomy face had softened a lot.
In the imperial study, his brother's body was placed there, and the coroner from the Ministry of Justice was squatting on the ground examining it bit by bit.
Because the Queen Mother said that the woman in the well was Su Qingqing's mother, Rong Que had the body brought over, and the coroner was examining it together.
Minglu had already summoned the imperial physicians. After studying the big red wedding candles brought from the cold palace for a while, the two physicians had already come to a conclusion and were waiting for Rong Que to come back and report.
"Your Majesty, this wedding candle has been tampered with. Something has been added to it."
"What?"
After walking around to sit behind the desk and picking up the teacup to take a sip, Rong Que asked.
Su Qingqing's honey water was also brought to her by the eunuch. She sat on a chair on the side and drank it in small sips.
The imperial physician quickly glanced at Su Qingqing from the corner of his eye, was silent for a moment, and replied, " Huan Yi Xiang was added to it, and this spice is of inferior quality. The so-called inferior quality means that the medicinal properties are too strong, and they only pursue the effect without considering whether the human body can withstand it."
Su Qingqing and Rong Que both knew what Huanyixiang was used for.
Rong Que frowned, "Are you sure those are the things inside?"
The wedding candles were brought out from the back room of the cold palace. There were thirty-six beds in the back room, and thirty-six women were lying on them, but no men were found.
In that situation, what is the use of this Huan Yi incense?
Still strong!
Who is this fragrance trying to spur?
