Chapter 251 The Concubine Just Wants to Be the Queen Mother 40

The emperor almost got angry.

"You are so brave, what are you talking about! Are you even willing to kill my children?"

"The emperor is sure that this child is not a bastard. Could it be that he knew that the demon concubine was pregnant? Could it be that because the demon concubine is pregnant, you are afraid that people will find out in the palace and will cause dissatisfaction among the people again, so you settle for the next best thing. The demon concubine was sent to Ganlu Temple?" Prince Heng stared at the emperor with narrowed eyes.

"So the emperor is still thinking about the demon concubine, and has been perfunctory with us recently? The emperor has no intention of changing his mind, he just did it as a last resort, right?"

The emperor was a little dumbfounded.

He naturally knew that Ye Ruqiu was pregnant.

But he only found out about it more than half a month ago.

It's just that he was depressed a while ago and drank every day. When he doted on Qiuqiu alone, he was inevitably negligent. There were probably a few times when he forgot to tell her to take medicine. Unexpectedly, the child came at this time.

But his plan is already progressing smoothly. Maybe this child will come at the right time? So he kept pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Tomorrow is the day the hunt begins.

The day after tomorrow, he will make a big plan.

After finally maintaining stability until now, he cannot let this incident cause any trouble and affect the overall plan...

The emperor suppressed his dissatisfaction with Prince Heng:

"I don't know! Prince Heng is worrying too much! I respect all the elders and will never be perfunctory." Prince Heng is such a troublemaker. He can't see his own good every time. Wait until the day after tomorrow to see how he ranks first. Just take Prince Heng for surgery!

"It's better that the emperor doesn't know. Since the demon concubine was not detected to be pregnant when she was in the palace, then the child will naturally not be the emperor's! Therefore, neither the demon concubine nor the child can be kept!" Prince Heng said.

And all the adults also expressed their agreement.

"It's too late tonight. Early tomorrow morning, please ask the Queen to bring someone to confirm the physical condition of the demon concubine. Let the Queen decide everything."

Everyone thought it was true again.

The emperor gritted his teeth and failed to say no in front of everyone...

The emperor who returned to the courtyard was furious: "Why were you suddenly discovered? You bunch of losers, I asked you to protect Concubine Qiu, is this how you protect her?"

The secret guard knelt down and returned:

"In the afternoon, the abbot went to talk to Empress Qiu. Who would have thought that there were people from the queen in the abbot's room. At that time, they went up and covered Empress Qiu's mouth. Our people couldn't get in and had no idea what was going on inside. Empress Qiu was forcibly picked up. Pulse, that’s how you confirm pregnancy!”

"Queen, Queen again!" The emperor smashed the tea set on the table. "But why did the Queen suspect Concubine Shangqiu?"

"Empress Qiu said that she met a group of ladies who were offering incense today, so she went to say a few words, which probably exposed the truth."

"..."

The emperor was speechless.

He had already told Qiuqiu to be cautious in his words and deeds, so how could something like this happen again?

How could his Qiuqiu, who was so kind and simple, outsmart the scheming queen!

But it's just an accident.

At this juncture, something happened to Qiuqiu, and he almost thought that something was wrong...

But what to do?

Tomorrow, Qiuqiu will be taken to the palace. At that time, based on the queen's hostility towards Qiuqiu, she will undoubtedly die.

But others are in the paddock, and there is definitely no way they can go back to save them. And his plan still had two days to go, how could this come in time?

So, he must do something tomorrow!

Either stop the people going to Ganlu Temple, protect Qiuqiu from being caught, or control the queen first!

But once he does that, it will be equivalent to breaking up with those traitors and thieves. Wouldn't it directly affect the plan for the day after tomorrow?

So, there is probably only one way!

He had to advance his plans.

He might as well start tomorrow!

Beijing and Weichang take action together!

Then, there is no need to worry about revealing the truth.

The emperor immediately felt that this idea was feasible.

The hunt will start at dawn tomorrow, and the people sent out by the palace to catch Qiuqiu will have to wait until at least nine o'clock, right? In short, by the time Prince Heng receives the letter from the palace, it will probably be noon. If you're lucky, it might already be afternoon.

At that time, each hunting team should have gone deep into the paddock and would not be able to come back quickly. His actions were carried out directly, a little too hastily, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

The emperor summoned his secret guard chief and ordered him to take half of his men to the vicinity of Ganlu Temple and half of his men to keep an eye on the queen.

"Look for opportunities to act tomorrow!"

"Why don't we do it tonight?"

"No. Then everyone will know that I took away Concubine Qiu. If those guys get angry with me again, they may not only cancel the hunting plan, but also ignore me again." Or even destroy him. "So, it must be tomorrow." Just make a time difference.

"But if that's the case, our brothers may not be able to come back in time to protect the emperor tomorrow."

"No need. I have my own bodyguards." Moreover, he also has a trump card! As long as it is revealed, the winning rate will be greatly increased.

"You must rescue Concubine Qiu at all costs. No need to be polite to the Queen's people. You should work harder and send people to keep an eye on the palace earlier. If the Queen has more people, you can also increase your manpower and fight directly. Don't worry about me. Wait. After rescuing Concubine Qiu, your people don’t have to rush here, the safety of Concubine Qiu is the top priority.”

"yes!"

"Also, try not to do anything at Ganlu Temple!"

The emperor still cares about the voice of the people.

There was a mass killing in the Buddhist Pure Land, but it was his and Qiuqiu's reputation that ultimately suffered. They want to create a prosperous era and cannot lose their reputation.

The emperor was determined, and gradually his anxiety turned into excitement. He didn't sleep that night.

He will definitely win this plan!

…

The emperor would never know that someone was waiting for him to act in advance.

Although the emperor did not reveal the entire plan to Tao Ran, from what he revealed, Tao Ran knew that he was fully prepared. If they really let him go as planned, even if they can take advantage of his plan and counterattack him, the price they pay will definitely be high.

This emperor is cruel. What if he takes advantage of the opportunity to kill in the paddock? What if you use this opportunity to kill the thorn in your side?

She can't gamble!

Therefore, we can't let him go smoothly.

Ye Ruqiu just happened to use it!

They are true love, right? In the past, the ministers and people had tried their best to protect Ye Ruqiu when they forced him to do so, so this time he would never ignore her.

Ye Ruqiu was "cultivating". The reason why the Queen did not take action was not because she was soft-hearted, but because the Emperor placed too many people around Ye Ruqiu. In the pure land of Buddhism, the queen does not want to do anything ugly.

Therefore, the queen put all her efforts into placing people in Ganlu Temple. The Chen family is a well-known family. Several generations of the Chen family donate large sums of money for sesame oil to Ganlu Temple every year. They also have a good relationship with the abbot. So they kept an eye on Ye Ruqiu early in the morning.

Ye Ruqiu has been feeling hungry and vomiting recently, and the secret guards arranged for someone to take her pulse, so they already knew about her pregnancy, but they just kept pressing it without feeling it.

Two days ago, after Tao Ran sent the news to the queen, the queen took action.

In order to prevent the emperor from noticing that someone was playing tricks, they specially arranged for several ladies to go to the back mountain to enjoy the maple leaves, and used the talk of hunting to attract Ye Ruqiu.

Ye Ruqiu had not seen the emperor for many days. She was afraid that she would be deprived of his favor. After she heard about "presenting beauties", she couldn't help but show up...

On the other hand, when the abbot heard that someone in her temple was suspected of having done something unclean and became pregnant, in order to protect the pure land of Buddhism, he naturally agreed to the queen's cooperation, and this was the tempting thing to take a pulse...
