Chapter 512 In the Lonely Place, She Will Never Fall Out of Favor

After a long time, until the tea was almost cold, Empress Qin brought the tea cup to her mouth and took a sip.

In addition to tea, there are also some melon and fruit pastries.

However, Empress Qin had no appetite at all at this time. She put down the tea cup and looked at the door with a blank expression.

"Why hasn't the prince come yet?"

Baoqin replied respectfully, "The prince will be here soon."

Empress Qin raised the corners of her mouth and sneered: "It's been so long, and he hasn't appeared yet. Did he deliberately hang on to Ben Gong? Or did he not want to see Ben Gong at all?"

Baoqin lowered her head, not daring to answer.

At this time, the prince and Concubine Xiao walked in one after another.

The two came forward to greet each other.

Luo Qinghan explained: "I was resting just now. It took some time to change clothes and wash. I hope my mother will forgive me."

Empress Qin's gaze swept across Concubine Xiao's face and stayed on the crown prince.

She looked at the prince fixedly, and only spoke after a long time.

"Prince has really grown up, and his skills are getting bigger and bigger."

Luo Qinghan: "My son doesn't understand what my mother means."

Empress Qin stood up with the help of Pearl, and walked slowly to the prince.

"You were sent to Ben Gong when you were three years old. How old were you then? Look at you now. You are taller than Ben Gong. Time flies by so fast."

She said the words of nostalgia in her mouth, but there was never a trace of warmth in her eyes.

Luo Qinghan said calmly: "For so many years, my mother has taken care of her."

Empress Qin raised a sneer: "Even if there is no mother-son relationship between us, but this palace is kind to you. Is this how you repay this palace now?"

Facing her question, Luo Qinghan raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her.

"If you have something to say, please speak directly."

Queen Qin: "Okay, I don't want to go around in circles with you either. You can find a way to rescue Qin Lie and Qin Wen."

Luo Qinghan: "The two of them are guilty of the national law, which is ruthless. Please forgive me and I can do nothing."

When Empress Qin heard this, her face suddenly turned cold.

Seeing this, Xiao Xixi was worried that she would attack the prince again.

Xiao Xixi quietly made preparations, as long as the queen made her move, she would rush up to stop the queen.

However, Empress Qin did not act.

She just looked at the prince so coldly, and it took a long time before she spoke again.

"Bengong really regrets it, I shouldn't have adopted you in the first place."

If it was Luo Qinghan in the past, it would definitely be extremely uncomfortable to hear this, but now he just replied lightly.

"It's Erchen's fault for not being able to make my mother happy. Erchen apologizes to you."

The news that her brother and nephew were sentenced to death, coupled with the humiliation she suffered in Weiyang Palace just now, made Empress Qin's sanity on the verge of losing her sanity. She looked at the prince with an uncontrollable expression of hatred.

Xiao Xixi felt that her current mental state was very wrong, and she became more and more alert.

Empress Qin: "Bengong has something to tell the prince, everyone else will go down."

Xiao Xixi couldn't worry about the prince.

She looked at the prince eagerly, and the prince vaguely realized that the queen might have something important to tell him, and he whispered to Xiao Xixi.

"You go out and wait, you'll be fine."

Xiao Xixi had no choice but to turn around and walk out three steps.

Soon only the Empress Qin and the Crown Prince were left in the side hall.

Empress Qin sneered: "You really dote on Concubine Xiao, don't you know that in this harem, excessive doting is poison through the intestines? You dote on her like this, and when she falls out of favor in the future, you will let her How does she handle herself in the palace?"

Luo Qinghan replied calmly: "Here in Gu, she will never fall out of favor."

After hearing this, Queen Qin laughed involuntarily as if she had heard a joke.

"It's good to be young, you dare to say anything."

Luo Qing said coldly: "If your mother has anything to say, please say it directly."

Empress Qin gradually put away her smile, with a bit of malice in her tone.

"Do you want to know how Shen Zhaoyi died?"

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Luo Qinghan's face finally changed.

He asked back, "Didn't she die of illness, concubine?"

Empress Qin laughed softly, and the laughter was full of sarcasm: "Shen Zhaoyi is young and has always been in good health, how could she suddenly die of illness?"

Luo Qinghan: "Then tell me, how did the concubine die?"

Empress Qin stepped forward and said word by word.

"Shen Zhaoyi was consecrated to death by the emperor with a glass of poisonous wine."

Luo Qinghan's pupils vibrated.

Although he had already guessed about this, he was still shocked and absurd when he heard the queen say it with his own ears.

Empress Qin continued to talk while observing the change in his expression.

"The person who sent the poisoned wine to Shen Zhaoyi was Ben Gong."

"She refused to drink at that time, it was noisy and noisy, and it was very annoying. Ben Gong had no choice but to have someone hold her head, open her mouth, and forcefully pour the poisoned wine in."

"She twitched in pain and vomited blood, but she was still calling your name."

...

outside the door.

Xiao Xixi walked back and forth, she had a very bad premonition in her heart, but she couldn't tell what the bad law was?

Baoqin persuaded in a low voice: "Niangniang, don't worry too much, His Royal Highness has always been very measured and everything will be fine."

The door creaked open.

Empress Qin slowly walked out from inside.

She glanced at Concubine Xiao coldly, remembered what the prince said just now, and couldn't help sneering.

In this harem, the most fickle is the emperor. They can hold you in each other's arms the day before, and they can leave you behind and put the newcomer in their arms the next day.

How much favored Concubine Xiao is today, how embarrassed she will be when she falls out of favor in the future.

Empress Qin retracted her gaze and walked out of Qingge Hall without looking back.

As soon as the queen left, Xiao Xixi quickly ran into the side hall.

At a glance, she saw the prince standing alone in the middle of the room.

His face looked extremely bad, as if he had suffered some kind of huge blow.

Xiao Xixi's heart skipped a beat.

She subconsciously slowed down and called out softly.

"Your Highness."

Luo Qinghan turned his head slowly and laughed.

That smile was indescribable embarrassment.

"Xixi, I remembered."

Xiao Xixi approached him and touched his hand carefully, seeing that he didn't reject him, so he dared to hold his hand.

She asked softly, "What do you remember?"

Luo Qinghan: "I think about what my mother-in-law looks like, and what happened when I was a child."

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

Luo Qinghan smiled with red eyes: "Not good, not good at all."

Xiao Xixi had never seen him look so fragile.

She wanted to ask what was wrong?

But she couldn't bear to open his scars again.

She reached out her other hand, embraced his body, and put her face on his arm, comforting him silently.

Luo Qinghan closed his eyes and tried to suppress the uncomfortable emotions in his heart.

Outside the door, Eunuch Chang and Baoqin did not dare to approach when they saw the scene inside.

The two stayed outside the door and sent the other eunuchs and palace maids far away, lest they disturb the prince and concubine Xiao.
