C179 (2/2)
After thinking about this terrifying consequence, Xuanyuan Mocheng shouted in a stern voice without the slightest hesitation, ”If I said the plan was cancelled, it would be so. Why are you spouting so much nonsense?!”
Xuanyuan Mocheng very rarely got angry, but the angry roar he was making right now made the person hiding behind him realize that the matter was not as simple as he thought.
However, he had always understood that the person who would instantly think of Qin Feng was the current Empress Qin Feng, because he knew that there was only one person in this world who would be able to change the Second Prince's mind.
Thinking of this, he gave a cold, sneaky smile, ”Second Prince, I know that you must have gone to see empress earlier. She was the one who advised you to stay?”
His words made Xuanyuan Mocheng startled. The understanding towards him had simply exceeded his imagination.
Xuanyuan Mocheng's silence meant that he had tacitly agreed to his words, and the figure could only sigh lightly. In this world, love was the most bewitching thing, he turned around and disappeared into thin air.
Inside the Purple Palace at this moment, Nalan Duo'er was carefully listening to the voice outside.
”If our plan succeeds, then tonight, the entire palace will be in chaos. Because the empress's dragon seed has fallen, if our plan fails, then we will be exposed as well.”
Nalan Duo'er had already decided that she would give it her all. Even if the emperor really discovered her, she would only die.
Qian Er's face was filled with panic and worry. If she succeeded, then she would truly be a bad person, and empress wouldn't forgive her. If she failed, the Emperor wouldn't forgive her even if something happened.
Qian Er knew that she would die no matter what, so her expression was extremely ugly.
Inside the Endless Harmony Hall, Xuanyuan Zhiling had been drinking with the officials for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, Xuanyuan Zhiling ordered someone to go to the Blue Bird Hall to invite the empress to join in the feast.
Before long, Qin Feng appeared on top of the red carpet with Qin Chen's support. Qin Feng was dressed fully in her luxurious golden phoenix robe and had a phoenix crown on her head.
He realized that the Qin Feng of today was especially beautiful. It was only when Qin Feng arrived in front of him did he finally regain her senses and invite Qin Feng to sit on the phoenix seat beside him.
”Empress, you're really pretty today. You can look that good even when you're pregnant?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling smiled faintly. Looking at Qin Feng's blushing face, she couldn't help but feel intoxicated.
Qin Feng rolled her eyes at Xuanyuan Zhiling and said, ”Why are you sitting on the imperial throne and still not having the proper form?”
When Qin Feng said this, Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to retort, but the voices of the crowd suddenly came over.
”Long live the empress! Long live the empress! Long live the empress! Long live the empress!”
All of the officials kneeled down respectfully to Qin Feng, as Qin Feng's mother raised her hand to signal for all of them to rise.
The banquet finally began. Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng drank wine with the group of officials and were extremely happy.
Because Qin Feng was pregnant, Qin Feng knew she couldn't drink too much, so she could only use tea in place of alcohol. However, right at this moment, Qin Feng suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Qin Feng frowned.
”Qin Feng, what's wrong?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling looked at Qin Feng's pained expression and immediately became extremely nervous.
Qin Feng shook her head lightly, and her expression immediately became unsightly. She knew that she must have smelled the scent of the scented sachet just now, and although it didn't have any effect on the child, it still made Qin Feng feel extremely uncomfortable.
”No problem, no problem, I can continue.”
Qin Feng said indifferently, as a wave of patience quickly passed through her expression.
”Your majesty, there is one thing that Qin Chen wishes to report to your majesty …”
Qin Chen knew that it was because of Nalan Duo'er's scented bag. She wanted to report to Xuanyuan Zhiling, but Qin Feng stopped her.
”Qin Chen, don't speak nonsense. Today is a happy day, please do not let our matter make the emperor unhappy.”
Qin Feng said, her voice had already become weak.
”Qin Chen, what happened?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling's mood had already been affected because when he saw Qin Feng's painful appearance, his heart was aching. What exactly happened to cause Qin Feng to become like this?
Xuanyuan Zhiling almost used an commanding tone as he spoke.
Qin Chen looked at Qin Feng, then looked at the emperor, with a difficult face. She didn't know if she should say it or not.
”Qin Chen, don't speak nonsense, the Emperor is fine, it's just that he didn't rest well.”
Qin Feng endured her headache and said.
”Qin Chen, you better explain it to us immediately. Otherwise, if you know our temperament, we will punish you!”
When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, Qin Chen's eyes flashed with determination.
”empress, Qin Chen will still say it, after all, your health is no small matter, even if you really want to punish Qin Chen, Qin Chen will accept it.”
Qin Chen's eyes grew firmer by a bit as she turned to look at Xuanyuan Zhiling.
”It's like this, your majesty, someone is going to harm empress tonight. Previously, the silver ear soup inside the Blue Bird Hall was extremely poisonous, and later on, we discovered a poisonous perfume bag under the empress's pillow.”
Qin Chen had an aggrieved expression on her face as she spoke till this point. This Nalan Duo'er was truly insane, actually wanting to harm Qin Feng time and time again.
”What?!” Qin Chen, do you know who did it? ”
Hearing that, Xuanyuan Zhiling became furious, and immediately crushed the blanket in his hand, the broken pieces immediately stabbing into Xuanyuan Zhiling's palm, blood slowly flowed out from the wound on his palm.
Qin Chen nodded, and said: ”It should be the Imperial Consort Lan, because someone has seen Qian Er coming out to do some work for her.”
After Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed a look of coldness.
