Chapter 212 The Queen Mother is pregnant, whose child is it?
Shen Qingchen didn't know what to say. He held his forehead with his hand. He had never seen such a stupid person who poisoned himself.
He opened the door of the study and ordered, "Come here, ask the court doctor to come."
The court doctor came over quickly, took Yue Lingyin's pulse, and then checked the tea. Finally, he concluded: "It's a common knockout drug, the dosage is relatively large, and it will be fine after a good night's sleep."
Shen Qingchen asked the court doctor to go down, carry Yue Lingyin to the couch, cover her with a quilt lovingly, and resigned himself to tidying up the mess.
Outside the door, the guards waited for a long time but Shen Qingchen did not see them go in to collect the body. When they saw the palace doctor coming out, they could not help but ask, "Is the assassin dead?"
"No, I slept well." Seeing their puzzled faces, the court doctor said, "Don't wait any longer. The Prime Minister does not intend to kill the assassin today."
"Haven't you figured out a suitable solution?"
"No." The court doctor was speechless: "Why do you think I went in? To treat the assassin."
The guard walked away with a dazed look on his face.
In the morning, Yue Lingyin opened her eyes dazedly. Shen Qingchen sat beside her and looked at her, smiling and asking, "Are you awake?"
Yue Lingyin suddenly remembered where she was and stood up nervously: "Why did I fall asleep? What's going on? No one is coming?"
Shen Qingchen curved her lips in a smile and shook her head slightly.
"That's good." Yue Lingyin breathed a sigh of relief and sorted out her clothes while speaking: "That's all for today. I'll be leaving first."
Shen Qingchen: "Are you coming again tonight?"
Yue Lingyin: "Come! I'll keep coming if I don't find anything."
Shen Qingchen's eyes sparkled with a faint light: "I know the Xiangfu well. If you come in the evening, I will go with you to look for it."
Yue Lingyin was deeply moved: "There are not many good people like you. You are better than my senior brothers and sisters."
Shen Qingchen raised an eyebrow: "Senior Brother and Sister?"
"Yes." Yue Lingyin curled her lips: "They said that the Prime Minister's Mansion is very dangerous and you can't come back once you go there. I think they are just timid. How can the Prime Minister's Mansion be so dangerous? I was fine staying there for one night."
Shen Qingchen chuckled. Her senior brothers and sisters were quite self-aware.
Yue Lingyin: "By the way, what's your name? How can I find you when I get here?"
"Chen Qing." Shen Qingchen deliberately said a name that was similar to the original name. Seeing that Yue Lingyin had no special reaction at all, he shook his head helplessly.
"I stay at the Prime Minister's residence during the day and stay in the study at night to look after the precious books for Prime Minister Shen. You can come here to find me directly."
Yue Lingyin felt guilty when she thought about the things she had messed up last night. Then she saw that everything had been put back in place. She widened her eyes in astonishment and asked, "You sorted it out?"
Shen Qingchen nodded slightly: "Yes."
Yue Lingyin said excitedly: "That's great, from now on I'll look in the front and you'll clean up in the back, we're a natural pair!"
Shen Qingchen twitched his lips: "That's fine."
Yue Lingyin was thirsty and hungry. She glanced at the tea and snacks on the table with regret. Suddenly, she discovered that the plate with the snacks was small and exquisite, carved from the finest white jade, and the flower pattern in the middle was lifelike.
Her eyes lit up, she poured the snacks on the table and pocketed the plate.
Shen Qingchen's eyelids twitched: "What are you doing?"
Yue Lingyin sighed, "My family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat, so I put it in the pawn shop to get some money to use."
Shen Qingchen hesitated to speak. Should he tell her that all the items in the mansion were marked? The one in the middle of the plate was not some beautiful pattern, but the mark of his family emblem.
Yue Lingyin had no idea there was such a thing as a family emblem. She covered her face with joy and ran out from the roof.
The guard was shocked at first and then calmed down. He looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, pretending to be blind.
Yue Lingyin went to the pawn shop to pawn the plates.
The pawnshop owner took a look and thought, "Oh my! Isn't this his master's stuff? The man was still wearing his nightgown. It must have been stolen. Here's his chance to make a name for himself!"
He asked Yue Lingyin to wait in the pawnshop while he went straight to report to his master.
Shen Qingchen smiled faintly: "Let her be the pawn, and give her any amount of money she wants."
So the pawnshop owner came back, and Yue Lingyin enthusiastically shared her discovery with him.
"Boss, what a coincidence! The flower in the middle of the plate is exactly the same as the flower next to your store name!"
The pawn shop owner was speechless, "How much silver do you want?"
Yue Lingyin made a "two" gesture, and the pawnshop owner looked at her with disdain: "Two hundred taels?" He really doesn't know the value of things. The master's things are worth at least five hundred taels.
Yue Lingyin said: "Twenty taels."
boss:"……"
With a complicated expression, he took out twenty taels and said, "Go quickly, and don't tell anyone that you have been here."
Yue Lingyin nodded in understanding, with an expression of "I understand" on her face, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret and will never tell anyone about this."
The shopkeeper felt something was wrong and explained: "We are a legitimate store..."
Yue Lingyin: "I understand, I understand."
The shopkeeper took a deep breath and smiled. Don’t argue with a fool. He endured it!
...............................
Yue Lingyin had a hearty breakfast. Amid the strange looks from passers-by, she belatedly looked at her clothes and then hurried back to the palace.
There was no one in Qinghan Palace. Yue Lingyin changed into a comfortable dress and went to the well to wash and dry her clothes.
After finishing her work, Yue Lingyin was sitting comfortably on a tall tree, reading a storybook in her hands. This was her new hobby.
The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, creating patches of mottled light and shadows.
The breeze gently blew Yue Lingyin's hair, she squinted her eyes slightly, enjoying the tranquility and leisure.
Soon it was noon and she was hungry.
She went to the imperial kitchen as she knew it, but found that it was heavily guarded outside. As soon as she approached, she was discovered by the commander of the imperial guards, Feng Mian, who chased her all the way to Qingliang Palace.
Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Yue Lingyin simply turned around and looked at him pitifully.
"Don't chase me. I haven't eaten for two days. I will die if I don't eat."
Feng Mian's eyes flashed with surprise, and then as if struck by lightning, he asked in disbelief, "Are you the Queen Mother?"
The old emperor only issued an edict to appoint Yue Lingyin as the queen, but no ceremony was held due to health reasons. Three days later, the old emperor died. The new emperor did not like her and did not even let her attend the funeral. He sent her directly to Qingliang Palace to fend for herself.
Therefore, many people have never seen the empress dowager and don't know what she looks like, including the emperor and Feng Mian.
Yue Lingyin nodded slightly, with a hint of sadness and helplessness in her eyes: "No one told me that I would have no food to eat if I got married. I never want to get married again."
Feng Mian was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "There has never been an empress dowager who remarried in history."
Yue Lingyin's face became even more gloomy when she heard this, and she looked at Feng Mian pitifully: "Do you have anything to eat? I'm really hungry now..."
Feng Mian's heart softened: "No, but if the Queen Mother wants it, I will go to the Imperial Kitchen to get it for you."
"Really? You're such a nice guy."
Feng Mian felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her sparkling eyes.
"What would your Majesty like to eat?"
"I'm not picky about food. I can eat anything."
Feng Mian stared at the petite figure in front of him and said softly, "Your Majesty, please wait for a moment. I will be back soon."
