Chapter 523: Story of Yanxi Palace Er Qing 56

Concubine Chun suddenly threw the teacup in her hand to the ground. The fine porcelain shattered and the sharp fragments flew everywhere, just like her mood at the moment, anxious and restless.

"Damn it! I can't wait any longer!" She slammed the table hard and said with gritted teeth.

"Erqing's belly is getting bigger every day. If she gives birth to a prince successfully, will there still be a place for me in the harem?"

Concubine Chun put on a fake smile and walked slowly towards Yongshou Palace carrying carefully prepared labor-inducing incense.

The fragrance on her body was originally the "Hundred Flowers Yin" commonly used in the palace, but it was subtly mixed with a hint of "Lizhixiang" (made up).

This Lizhixiang is not a common spice, but it has the effect of inducing a miscarriage when it is smelled. It is usually hidden among the flowers and is difficult to detect. Only when it is close to a pregnant woman will it gradually take effect.

"How is Your Highness? I have been thinking about you and the little prince in your belly these days." As soon as Concubine Chun entered the room, she took Er Qing's hand with concern on her face and deliberately sent the fragrance to her nose.

Er Qing sneered in her heart, but remained calm on her face. She responded affectionately, "Sister, you are thoughtful, but I am too heavy now and it is not convenient for me to move around. It's a waste of your trip."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? There is no need to be so polite between you and me, sisters." Concubine Chun said, and motioned the maid behind her to present the gifts. "These are some small things that my sister specially prepared for the little prince, as well as some excellent supplements. I hope you won't dislike them."

Er Qing glanced at them casually. All those so-called gadgets were exquisitely made and valuable, and those supplements were extremely precious. It was obvious at a glance that they cost a lot of money.

"Imperial Concubine Chun is so polite, but these things are too valuable, how can I afford them?" Er Qing said the words of refusal, but she was more alert in her heart. If someone is too attentive for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. This Imperial Concubine Chun was acting so abnormally today, she must have bad intentions.

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? These are my sincere gifts. If you don't accept them, I will be sad." Concubine Chun said as she stuffed those things into Er Qing's hands.

Er Qing saw that she couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it first, but she was secretly thinking about how to deal with it.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and when Concubine Chun saw that the time was almost up, she stood up and said goodbye.

"Your Majesty is in poor health now. You need to rest more. I will not disturb you any further."

Er Qing stood up to see him off with a polite smile on her face, but she was secretly relieved in her heart.

After seeing off Concubine Chun, Er Qing felt dizzy. The rich fragrance was like a maggot on her tarsal bone, which made her unable to help but dry heave.

"Ugh...cough cough..."

The maid beside her hurried forward to support her, patted her back gently, and asked with concern: "Madam, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Er Qing waved her hands weakly, her face pale, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She slowly sat down on the table, full of doubts.

This scent…why did it make her so uncomfortable?

At night, Qianlong came to Yongshou Palace as usual to accompany Erqing. Seeing that she looked unhappy, he asked with concern: "My beloved concubine, what happened today? Did someone offend you?"

Er Qing felt relieved when she saw him coming. She held Qianlong's hand and said softly, "Your Majesty, I feel a little unwell today. Maybe I caught a cold in the afternoon."

"What did the imperial physician say?" Qianlong frowned slightly and reached out to touch her forehead: "Do you have a fever?"

"The imperial physician said there's nothing serious, but I just feel a little uneasy." Er Qing said, and then she told her about Concubine Chun's visit today. Of course, she cleverly omitted the expensive gifts and only said that Concubine Chun's behavior today was strange, which made her feel uneasy.

After listening to this, Qianlong pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you still remember what that fragrance smelled like?"

Er Qing thought about it carefully. At first, the fragrance was normal, just a little too strong. But when she smelled it carefully, it had a strange sweetness that made people want to vomit.

When Qianlong heard Erqing's description, his brows knitted tightly, and a cold light flashed in his deep eyes. He gently patted Erqing's hand and comforted her softly, "Qing'er, don't worry, I will find out the truth about this matter and will not let you suffer any injustice."

After that, he called Li Yu beside him and ordered in a deep voice: "Go, call the imperial physician, and thoroughly check all the tributes sent to Yongshou Palace today, especially those sent by Concubine Chun. This concerns the safety of Concubine and Dragon Clan, so they must be carefully checked and there must be no mistakes!"

Li Yu took the order and left, and soon came back with several imperial doctors. The imperial doctors trembled and checked every item sent by Concubine Chun, from the exquisite rattle to the beautifully crafted longevity lock, to the precious supplements, leaving nothing out.

However, the inspection results surprised them all - everything was flawless, both the material and workmanship were top quality, not to mention any harmful substances.

"Your Majesty, we have checked carefully and there is nothing unusual about these things. They are all top-quality tributes." The leading old doctor bowed and reported, with a bit of doubt and confusion in his tone.

Qianlong's face became even gloomier when he heard this. He naturally believed that Er Qing would not be suspicious for no reason, and would not joke about the safety of the dragon child in her belly. But now the results of the imperial physician's examination made him doubt again. Was he really worrying too much?

Er Qing saw that Qianlong looked unhappy, and she understood a little. This Concubine Chun was indeed cunning and did things without any leaks. It seemed that there was no way to catch her today.

"Your Majesty, I may be too sensitive. Concubine Chun means well, but I..." Er Qing's eyes were slightly red, and she looked pitiful, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Don't blame yourself, my dear. You are pregnant now, so it's normal for you to be sensitive." Seeing her like this, Qianlong felt even more distressed. He quickly hugged her in his arms and comforted her softly.

"Your Majesty, I am just worried..." Er Qing snuggled in Qianlong's arms, hesitant to speak.

"What are you worried about?" Qianlong asked softly, stroking her hair.

Er Qing raised her head, a complex emotion flashed in her beautiful eyes. She bit her lip and whispered, "I am just worried that some people are two-faced. If they have bad intentions, it is hard to guard against them..."

Qianlong was shocked when he heard this. How could he not understand what Erqing meant? In the harem, there were endless intrigues and schemes. Now that Erqing was pregnant with the dragon descendant, she became the target of public criticism. If she was not careful, she would fall into an irreparable situation.

"Don't worry, I will send people to protect you and the child secretly, and will never let anyone hurt you." Qianlong said in a firm tone, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
