Chapter 285 Promise
The female corpse was Su Qingqing's mother, this was just the Queen Mother's statement.
There are too many doubts about that past.
The Queen Mother knew about this, but she didn't tell the whole story. Rong Que had already cut off all food and drink in the Queen Mother's bedroom. Rong Que was not sure how long the Queen Mother could survive. He could retain the last bit of respect for the Queen Mother, but he couldn't do the same for the Queen.
After pointing out Huang Zhaozhong and He Chao, Rong Que gave one order, "Have her tell the truth about what happened back then. No matter what means you use, I only want the result."
Rong Que had never thought of allowing the second prince's mother, the second empress, to enter the royal ancestral temple, and he didn't care what people would say about her life and death.
He Chao and Huang Zhaozhong took the order and left.
Su Qingqing looked at Rong Que, "Let's meet the princess of Da Qi. They are well prepared. I'm afraid that even if we pry something out from the queen or the queen mother, it will be incomplete information. Otherwise, the princess of Da Qi wouldn't be so determined to get it."
Rong Que and Su Qingqing both knew what it meant to meet.
This is the bargaining chip that Princess Da Qi wants to keep.
The couple looked at each other in silence for a long time. Su Qingqing curled her eyes and said, "See you then."
She took the initiative to speak out, hoping that it would alleviate Rong Que's anxiety and pain, and she was willing to alleviate Rong Que's anxiety and pain.
The princess of Da Qi seemed to have anticipated this result. After leaving the palace, she did not leave at all. Her carriage stopped at the palace gate and she entered the palace immediately after receiving the summons.
In the imperial study, Minglu had already asked the eunuch to clean the place.
After the body was taken away, some elegant incense was lit, the window was half-open, and the fresh air swept away the previous depression and suffocation.
Princess Daqi was ushered in. She respectfully bowed to Rong Que and Su Qingqing and changed her address. "As for the affairs of the cold palace, I am willing to tell you everything I know. I hope that Your Majesty and Your Majesty can sympathize with my original intention."
She called herself a concubine, which had already stamped her identity.
Rong Que felt a tightness in his chest, but he could do nothing about it. "You say."
Princess Daqi said, " I dare to guess that the Queen Mother told Your Majesty and Your Majesty that the woman holding Your Majesty's younger brother in the well is Your Majesty's mother?"
She didn't keep anyone in suspense, nor did she delay.
After a simple inquiry, he said frankly, "No, that woman has nothing to do with the Empress."
She said it so straightforwardly that Rong Que was a little skeptical. "How did you know?"
She said, "Because during the blood sacrifice that year, the person who provided the evil magic of the Baro tribe to the former emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty was from the Great Qi, and that woman was the one who completed the evil magic for Your Majesty at that time."
Her statement was beyond Su Qingqing and Rong Que's and everyone's guess.
"Is she from Da Qi?"
Princess Da Qi said confidently, "Yes, her name is Asura. Your Majesty should know that the Baro people are mainly distributed in the north of Dayan and the south of Da Qi. Asura is the saint of the Baro people of Da Qi. If your Majesty does not believe this, you can send someone to the Baro people of Da Qi to inquire. There should be portraits of saints from past generations there."
Having said this , Rong Que and Su Qingqing had no room for doubt.
“The Saint entered the Great Yan Kingdom’s palace as a maid and was assigned to work for the Queen Mother. It was she who proposed this blood sacrifice to the Queen Mother.
At that time, the previous emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom had just ascended the throne, and natural disasters and man-made calamities occurred frequently. The empress dowager was afraid that there would be some changes in the political situation, and she was uneasy all day long.
It was at that time that the Saint proposed the blood sacrifice. She only hinted at it a little bit, and the Queen Mother immediately became interested in it. "
"Why? What is her purpose?"
"In order to seek revenge, the Saint only said that this blood sacrifice could stabilize the dragon vein, but she did not mention that this blood sacrifice was too brutal and the recipients would suffer the backlash of the blood sacrifice and eventually die a miserable death."
Rong Que and Su Qingqing looked at each other and thought of the death of the late emperor.
Being buried alive in front of the imperial study was indeed not a good death.
“The Saint’s sister was forcibly conscripted into the palace by the Yan Kingdom’s royal family and became the late emperor’s concubine. However, she lived a miserable life in the palace. In order to avenge her sister, the Saint knew that she could not kill her enemy herself, so she thought of this way.
The reason why she personally participated in the sacrifice was because she could guarantee the strong resentment in her heart.
The greater the resentment, the greater the curse."
Su Qingqing just found it unbelievable.
She never believed in these heretical stories about ghosts and gods, but the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty did not die a good death.
Although the truth sounds a bit ridiculous, according to the previous agreement, Rong Que needs to keep the princess of Da Qi in the palace.
Rong Que said it clearly, "You staying in the palace is just our deal. I can give you a position, but other things..."
Princess Da Qi smiled lightly and respectfully interrupted Rong Que's words.
"Your Majesty is wise. I don't care about anything else. I will only stay here for three months. After three months, we will be separated by the world and never see each other again."
The marriage, which was strongly opposed by court officials, was finally carried out.
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory selected an auspicious day. On the first day, Su Qingqing was named empress, received the title and worshipped by all officials, and moved into the central palace. On the second day, Su Qingqing brought the princess of Da Qi into the palace and named her Consort Qi.
"My lady, why do I feel this matter is so strange? I have a feeling that the princess of Da Qi has big plans."
When they moved into the Central Palace, the followers from the Zhao Kingdom who had come to the Great Yan Kingdom with Su Qingqing naturally moved in as well.
Because she was new to the palace, Nanny Xu was busy familiarizing everyone in the palace with the environment.
Thanks to the previous King Yu's tyranny, the interpersonal relationships in the entire harem were not overly complicated.
After all, anyone who was prominent at that time was killed.
There were no women left by the previous emperor in the palace to cause trouble. The only two remaining masters were Su Qingqing and Concubine Qi.
As if to prove that what she said was true, after entering the palace, Concubine Qi took the initiative to ask Su Qingqing for a remote palace far away from the imperial study and Su Qingqing's bedroom, and moved in with two personal maids.
The envoys from Da Qi had already left, and she and her two maids stayed at home all day, as if they didn't exist.
But the more she did this, the more uneasy Jixiang felt, as he always felt that this was the calm before the storm.
This Princess Da Qi must have bad intentions.
In the courtyard, Rongque built a flower stand in imitation of the Zhen'an Prince's Palace. Su Qingqing and Jixiang were chatting under the flower stand when suddenly Doctor Sun with a serious face was led in from outside by two maids.
"What happened?" Su Qingqing saw that he was so anxious that his eyes were burning with anger, so she skipped all his formalities and asked directly.
Doctor Sun bowed and stood in front of Su Qingqing, "Madam, it seems that someone at the Imperial Hospital gave the person who came out of the cold palace some medicine that shouldn't be used."
