Chapter 312 Do You Know - Xiao Qinshi 39

No one could find out the problem before. After all, both yellow powder and red powder are relatively hidden and harmless. But now that we have the secret medicine from the government, we can find out everything if we follow the same idea.

The emperor did not expect that the secret medicine he was looking for would lead him to the truth about the death of the third prince and the third princess. Even more frightening was that with the guidance of Liang Duzhi, the rouge hidden in the tung oil used to renovate the palace was also discovered.

It would be a lie to say that the emperor didn't know that there was something fishy going on in his harem. After all, the emperor grew up in the palace and had heard a lot about the intrigues among the women in the harem. It's just that he thought his harem was relatively harmonious and all the intrigues were just trivial matters of jealousy.

Now, it's good, it's a slap in the face. Not only did they harm his concubines and children, but now they've harmed him too. After the investigation, the emperor was no longer as merciful as before. People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were taken away by the people from the East Factory one after another, and even some of the old people who served the emperor were not spared.

This matter involved a wide range of people, even the ministers outside the palace had heard of it. The royal princes who had been active in forming cliques and pursuing personal gain, and who wanted to be adopted by the emperor, were deeply afraid that the people they had placed in the harem would be discovered by the emperor. Even though they were worried about the royal heir in Qin Wanrong's belly, they could only stay in the mansion honestly and dared not act rashly.

With Qin Wanrong's detection robot working behind the scenes, no clues could escape, and Liang Duzhi's investigation was as if he were assisted by God. Fortunately, the emperor did not have any suspicion. After all, if this incident had not happened, the emperor would still be content with the stability and harmony of his harem.

Now the emperor is still very confident in his ability to control his subordinates. Qin Wanrong cooperated behind the scenes, and Liang Duzhi worked hard in the front. It took a full two months to finally get to the bottom of the matter.

All the palace managers and maids who were involved in the incident, no matter who they were, were imprisoned by the emperor. Among them, Empress Cao and Concubine Zhao suffered the heaviest losses. Unfortunately, Empress Cao acted cautiously and cleverly shifted the blame to the royal family. Even though the emperor suspected Empress Cao, he only suspected that she was in collusion with the royal family, but he could never find out that Empress Cao was the mastermind behind the incident.

"I never expected that Empress Cao was so cunning. Despite our close investigation, she still managed to escape."

Liang Duzhi was busy investigating the matter for the emperor and had not been able to meet Qin Wanrong for more than half a month. Now that things were almost over, Liang Duzhi finally found a chance to go to Ronghua Palace at night to see his sweetheart.

Qin Wanrong's belly is now six months old. She stands in front of the window with her belly bulging, holding Liang Duzhi behind her, and the two quietly admire the moonlight outside the window. Liang Duzhi always tries to get close to Qin Wanrong whenever he comes. If it weren't for the fact that he is really useful, Qin Wanrong would not bother to coax him.

Now hearing Liang Duzhi say this, Qin Wanrong rolled her eyes where Liang Duzhi couldn't see. This man was testing her again.

Qin Wanrong had long known that it was impossible to overthrow Empress Cao with just the secret medicine. Not to mention the Cao family's power behind Empress Cao, just look at Empress Cao's personality and the emperor's character. Even if there is direct evidence to prove that the secret medicine is related to the Cao family, it is unlikely that the emperor would abolish Empress Cao's position as empress.

Besides, she is only a second-rank Taiyi now. Even if Empress Cao is deposed, she will not have a chance if the emperor wants to appoint another empress.

"Don't be sad, Rong'er. I'm here. I promise you that sooner or later I will push you to that position."

She nodded indifferently. Feeling a little tired of standing, Qin Wanrong leaned into Liang Duzhi's arms. Feeling Qin Wanrong's dependence, Liang Duzhi's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth raised in joy.

It seems that Rong'er doesn't think I'm useless just because I failed to bring down Queen Cao this time. Rong'er is still willing to rely on me.

Qin Wanrong had no idea what Liang Duzhi behind her was thinking. She felt the warmth of being embraced by someone and comfortably enjoyed the sad early autumn moonlight.

The main reason for doing this is that she doesn't want to have to do all kinds of precautions after the child is born, and even try her best to prevent him from getting sick and contacting the emperor. By doing this before the child is born, at least the emperor's health will be ruined, the hatred will be diverted, and she will know that she may not be able to have children. The child will not only be more precious, but also there will be no possibility of being adopted by Empress Cao.

Killing multiple birds with one stone, especially since she had only been in the palace for half a year, no one would suspect her. As for leaving it alone, spending reputation points to exchange various elixirs for the child, and then waiting to catch Empress Cao's handle, Qin Wanrong said it was completely unnecessary.

It's okay once or twice, but if it happens too many times, even if Qin Wanrong is innocent and a victim, the emperor who likes to escape will not be able to help but feel annoyed with Qin Wanrong.

Qin Wanrong didn't want to pay so much just to raise a son whose future was unknown. To Qin Wanrong, the child in her belly was just a tool for her to complete her mission. There were some things that Qin Wanrong didn't want to pay for, for no special reason, it was just not worth it.

From a genetic perspective, this is the child of Xiao Qin and the official family. Even if the bloodline is more towards the mother, it has no blood relationship with herself. As a spirit, Qin Wanrong has long seen that it is not her child, but the child of the trader.

From an emotional perspective, everyone is an independent individual. After all, this child is a native of the ancient film and television world. Giving so much to the child will only expose yourself. After all, they are not from the same world. Even if you give your all, how can you guarantee that the child will not change?

If symptoms such as pregnancy and childbirth were not borne by the traders themselves, Qin Wanrong would not have given birth to a child for a man she did not love in the film and television world in order to complete her mission.

After Liang Duzhi left, the clerk came in and said, "Miss, the person we sent to pick up Nanny Xing will arrive in two days, and Nanny Xing's accommodation has been arranged."

Qin Wanrong listened to the clerk's report and nodded with satisfaction. After the secret medicine incident was exposed, all the palaces in the palace were investigated by the government. Now there is no danger. It is just right for Nanny Xing to come here. She doesn't have to worry about her being implicated after entering the palace, and she can have a loyal and reliable person to help take care of the child.

In the Cining Palace, Empress Cao locked herself in the room and smashed things around crazily. After venting enough, Empress Cao returned to her usual peaceful and virtuous appearance, and smiled as she called for the palace maids to come in and clean up.

Nanny Wang had been taken away by the people from the Eastern Depot because she had dealings with the manager of the Imperial Household Department who was in charge of the palace renovation. If Nanny Wang had not been tight-lipped and if there were not spies from the royal family involved, this matter would not have been so easily fooled.
