Chapter 213 Swear to God
Seeing her daughter-in-law falling to the ground with no one to help her, Concubine Shu quickly stepped forward and knelt down to ask the emperor to
"Your Majesty, Qingqing is pregnant with the heir to the throne. Please, Your Majesty, have mercy and let the imperial physician take a look first. It would be terrible if the fetus is harmed. Human life is at stake, Your Majesty."
Rong Guifei watched coldly. Although Shen Qingqing was her niece, she could no longer rely on her family, so she simply stopped pretending.
"No need to call the imperial physician, I am the doctor. Please allow me to examine Princess Xuan."
The emperor nodded. Ye'er had said before that it was the Crown Princess who cured his leg, so he still recognized the medical skills of his daughter-in-law.
After getting the emperor's permission, Ye Qingge walked over to Shen Qingqing and squatted down, watching her tightly closed eyes tremble slightly. It seemed that she was really pretending. This Shen Qingqing was really an acting genius. If she failed to frame someone, she would pretend to faint to gain sympathy.
Concubine Shu was a little bit unconvinced of Ye Qingge, after all, Shen Qingqing had just pointed her out.
"you……"
Ye Qingge looked at Concubine Shu and said
"Don't worry, my lady. There are so many people watching. I won't do anything to her."
After hearing this, Concubine Shu was relieved.
Ye Qingge pressed Shen Qingqing's philtrum with her fingernails, causing her to scream in pain.
Shen Qingqing covered her mouth in pain and stared at Ye Qingge fiercely. She definitely did it on purpose.
Ye Qingge clapped his hands and stood up, sneering
"Well, she's awake now, isn't she? As for the fetus in her belly, it's unharmed."
Concubine Shu came over to support her. There was no other way. As the nominal mother, she still had to fulfill her duties.
"Thank God, Qingqing, I'm so glad you're okay."
Shen Qingqing sobbed softly
"Thank you for your concern, mother."
No one here cared about her, except for Concubine Shu, even her own aunt stood aside and watched the fun, she hated it so much
"Che'er, since Qingqing is not feeling well, you should take her back first."
Concubine Shu could see that Xiao Lingche didn't like Shen Qingqing, but she was pregnant with his child after all, so she had to fulfill her responsibilities as a husband.
"Wait!"
The Queen walked up to Shen Qingqing and looked down at her. Shen Qingqing was frightened by the Queen's majesty and trembled slightly.
"Princess Xuan has not yet settled the score for falsely accusing the Crown Princess."
Concubine Shu quickly said
"Empress, Qingqing just said that she was dizzy and saw it wrongly. Please forgive her this time."
The queen snorted coldly
"Just because you're dizzy, you can just accuse others casually?"
"Then what does the Queen intend to do? Qingqing is pregnant after all."
The queen looked at Ye Qingge
"Qingge, what do you think we should do?"
Although Ye Qingge didn't like Shen Qingqing, she had never thought of punishing her. Now that her mother had stood up for her, she had no choice but to speak up.
"Let her apologize to me."
The queen nodded and suddenly turned to look at Shen Qingqing
"Did you hear me? Apologize to the Crown Princess and think carefully about how to say it!"
Shen Qingqing calmed herself down. The queen's majesty really frightened her. Although she was reluctant, she still said to Ye Qingge:
"Crown Princess, I was dizzy and saw it wrong just now. You didn't pull with the prince, nor did you push me down. I fell on my own. I just misunderstood you, Crown Princess. Please forgive me this time."
Ye Qingge looked at her aggrieved look, not to mention it was quite refreshing.
"I and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are deeply in love. If you slander me again next time, don't blame me for being heartless."
Shen Qingqing bowed her head and said
"Please rest assured, Princess, I will never dare to do that again."
The Queen felt that Qingge was too soft-hearted. How could she learn from her words with such a verbal warning?
"The Crown Princess is so merciful, but I won't indulge you. Go back and punish you by copying the "Women's Virtue" a hundred times. After you're done, hand it in to me for inspection. Reflect on yourself and remember this lesson. Don't spread rumors without hesitation. If you do it again, you won't have to speak again!"
Shen Qingqing was so frightened that she collapsed, but was supported by Concubine Shu in time.
"Noble Consort Shu, Prince Xuan, do you have any objections to my decision?"
After all, she is her daughter-in-law. Although Concubine Shu is dissatisfied, she still says
"I have no opinion"
Xiao Lingche was not concerned about this matter and also said
"I have no objection."
Even if the Queen didn't punish her, he would punish her. Qingge was already unhappy tomorrow morning, and it was a mistake to bring her out today.
The Queen saw that the two of them were quite sensible, and she returned to the Emperor.
The emperor said at the right time
"Che'er, why don't you take your princess back home? Since you are not feeling well, stay home and rest."
"I obey your command."
Xiao Lingye pulled Shen Qingqing up without mercy and wanted to take her back to the palace.
But Shen Qingqing didn't want to go back. If she left, how could she keep an eye on the prince?
"Your Majesty, I am fine now. I don't want to go back."
Xiao Lingche's face darkened instantly. Didn't she insist on staying here just to monitor whether he would go find Qingge? How dare she pull such a trick on him?
"You think it's not shameful enough? If you don't want to go back to the palace, then never go back. Put away your thoughts. If Qingge is punished because of you today, you will end up with two dead bodies."
Shen Qingqing was dragged along by him, she smiled bitterly
"One corpse, two lives? He's your child, Your Highness, how could you be so cruel?"
Xiao Lingche's eyes were cold
"Why didn't you feel bad when you fell to the ground and took advantage of the child? Now you feel bad? Ask yourself if you are worthy of being his mother."
Shen Qingqing was speechless after hearing what he said. She had just done such a foolish thing in a hurry. Of course she loved her child.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I will never joke with children again. Please forgive me."
Xiao Lingche did not listen to her explanation at all. He took her to the carriage and told Qingshi
"Take her back"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After watching her get on the carriage, Xiao Lingche turned around and returned to the palace.
Shen Qingqing broke down and cried in the car, but Qingshi turned a deaf ear to her and pretended not to hear.
……
After the sacrificial ceremony, the palace banquet is about to begin
The Queen took Ye Qingge walking in the Imperial Garden. Ye Qingge felt that the Queen must have something to say to her, but she didn't say anything. So she had to say
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for helping me just now."
The queen stopped and turned to look at her. Ye Qingge felt uncomfortable when she looked at her.
"You and King Xuan..."
"No, absolutely not"
Ye Qingge knelt down in a hurry
"Mother, I have absolutely no relationship with Prince Xuan. I only have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in my heart. Please believe me, Mother. I can swear to heaven."
She really raised her hands to swear to the sky
"If I, Ye Qingge, have any ill intentions towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let me be struck by lightning and die a miserable death..."
"Okay, okay, get up quickly."
The queen pulled Ye Qingge up
"I am just worried that you will continue to have some connection with Prince Xuan. As long as you really have Ye'er in your heart, your mother will be relieved."
"Mother, don't worry. I am already His Royal Highness's lover and will never do anything to let him down."
The queen nodded
"As the Crown Princess, you will be the mother of the country and in charge of the six palaces. If you are soft-hearted towards others, it will be detrimental to you. If I hadn't punished Shen Qingqing and made her apologize in public, you would have to bear this stain forever. People's words are scary, do you understand?"
Ye Qingge realized at this moment that the Queen was doing this for her own good. If she had let Shen Qingqing go back just like that, then the fact that she had been involved in a dispute with Prince Xuan would have been widely publicized. Not only would her reputation be damaged, but His Highness would also have a grudge against her because of this. It would not be worth it.
Fortunately, my mother is wise
She's really too soft-hearted.
"Mother, you have taught me another lesson. I understand and will never be so soft-hearted again."
Seeing that she understood immediately, the Queen nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, Ye Qingge couldn't help but feel a sour nose. She hugged the Queen and said coquettishly:
"I am so lucky to have met such a good mother. Mother, you are so kind."
Ye Qingge kissed the queen from a distance
The queen smiled and tapped her nose with her finger
"You're already a grown-up, yet you're still kissing and hugging me? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Hey Hey……"
