After being dressed as a demon concubine, she was pregnant with the new emperor's cub

Chapter 13

His jade pendant?

After hearing what the Tongchuan guard said, Sheng Qing almost choked on the food in his mouth, and couldn't help coughing twice.

Is it really the child's father?

After experiencing so many things of being buried and subjugated, he forgot about the child and the other father.

At this moment, the real child's other father handed Sheng Qing a cup of tea, and patted Sheng Qing on the back, "Eat slowly, no one will grab you."

Wei Lin's movements were so gentle that the guards who came to pass the message were dumbfounded. They followed Wei Lin to fight, and they had never seen their master look like this before.

"Cough, I'm fine."

After taking a sip of tea and smoothing the food down, Sheng Qing felt much better, because now he was full of the child's father, so he didn't notice Wei Lin's action of helping him smooth.

"I want to go and see."

Sheng Qing carefully looked at Wei Lin for approval. He always felt that there was something strange about this matter. He might indeed have slept with a guard, but normally, if he knew his identity, the guard would find a way to get rid of him. It's too late to clear the relationship, why is he still holding his jade pendant in his arms.

If you didn't know about this plot, you would think that he and the guard were in love and gave each other tokens of love.

What's more, the guard died inexplicably now. No matter how you look at it, it seems that someone deliberately wanted to let this matter go untested, so Sheng Qing asked Wei Lin to have a look.

Hearing Sheng Qing's words, Wei Lin originally wanted to refuse. After all, Sheng Qing was still pregnant, so it was not suitable to see that kind of scene, but seeing Sheng Qing's clear eyes looking at him with hope, he couldn't say anything to refuse. exported.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

After hesitating for a while, Wei Lin finally agreed to Sheng Qing and planned to go together. He wanted to see who was spreading rumors and playing tricks in the palace!

"Ah."

Sheng Qing nodded, he didn't expect Wei Lin to take care of such trifles in the court.

Because a corpse was fished out of the well, many eunuchs and court ladies were surrounding them from a distance, whispering in private.

Fishing out corpses from the wells or rivers of the palace is nothing new. After all, there are all kinds of dirty things in the deep palace. It is common for an unfavored nobleman to die, let alone a mere guard.

It's just that this incident involved another character, but it was unusual.

Sheng Qing, this name is synonymous with concubine Yao in the palace. It turned out that when he was Emperor Qi's servant Sheng, he made trouble a lot, and countless palace people died in his hands.

Now that the dynasty has changed, the palace people originally thought that they would no longer have to live in fear, for fear that they would lose their lives if they offended Sheng Qing.

But this morning, most of the people in the palace knew that this demon concubine had somehow won the favor of the new emperor, and was taken to the Zichen Palace by the new emperor for breakfast. A millennium!

"This Shengqing is really a disaster! Not to mention the subjugation of the previous dynasty, but now he has hooked up with His Majesty the present, and now such scandalous things have happened, how can there be such a person who is always in trouble and ruins the country and the people!"

"That's right, why didn't Emperor Qi act quickly when he gave poisoned wine to be buried, and just sealed Sheng Qing's coffin and buried him!"

"Keep your voice down, and be careful not to be overheard by someone passing through Sheng Qing's ears. At that time, he will definitely let you take off a layer of skin! Now that this messy harem has happened, just watch, he won't be complacent. How long has it been, let's just wait and see his miserable end."

As soon as he walked to the gate of the imperial garden, Sheng Qing heard several eunuchs gathering together to speak ill of him. Hearing these vicious curses, Sheng Qing couldn't help thinking: What kind of bad character is there to have so many eunuchs? One hopes he does not end well.

Sheng Qing didn't care much about these words. After all, he didn't do all the bad things. He is open-minded and has a clear conscience!

And those little eunuchs who were whispering about Sheng Qing there turned around and saw Sheng Qing standing behind them. In an instant, they were so frightened that they almost went straight over.

"Emperor... empress..."

Several young eunuchs immediately lost their legs when they saw Sheng Qing, and immediately knelt down tremblingly, and even a timid one directly peed in fright.

Sheng Qing was pregnant and couldn't bear the stimulation of the fishy smell, and retreated behind Wei Lin, and couldn't help complaining in his heart how cruel the original owner was, making people frightened like this just by looking at it.

Because of Sheng Qing's backing action, the young eunuchs saw Wei Lin with a gloomy expression at this moment.

Because Wei Lin didn't burn the palace or hurt innocent maids and eunuchs when he rebelled and entered the palace, plus the various benevolent policies he implemented after he took the throne, everyone thought Wei Lin was a benevolent king.

But today, when the little eunuchs saw Wei Lin's cold, deep, bottomless eyes, they realized that the essence of their new emperor was definitely not what it seemed on the surface.

"Your Majesty..."

Before the little eunuchs finished speaking, Wei Lin's deep voice was heard, "Cut off their tongues."

When Wei Lin and Sheng Qing came, they were followed by a few You Yunqi guards, and when they heard His Majesty's order, they immediately acted without delay.

The young eunuchs were not even given a chance to scream. While the young eunuchs were still panicking, their tongues had already been separated from their mouths, and blood flowed down the corners of their lips. The pain hit, and several people wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound, they could only open their bloody mouths, and their faces were painful.

Wei Lin looked at everything coldly. He has never been a kind person. In fact, when he heard them cursing and criticizing Sheng Qing, Wei Lin wanted to have them dragged out and killed.

But thinking of what Sheng Qing said that it is not appropriate to kill too much for the sake of children, he finally decided to just cut off their tongues to punish them for their talkativeness. He didn't want to hear anyone saying that Sheng Qing was wrong. cruel.

It wasn't until he felt the itch of Sheng Qing's long eyelashes brushing his palms that Wei Lin restrained his hostility, and said softly, "Don't look, you'll be scared."

Although Sheng Qing used to be an image of a demon concubine who killed people without blinking an eye, but before Sheng Qing said that he was afraid of killing people, Wei Lin was willing to believe him. He was afraid of killing people and would not want to see blood, so Wei Lin covered Sheng Qing's eyes and moved forward. She didn't want Sheng Qing to see the bloody scene.

But after hearing Wei Lin's words, Sheng Qing thought in his heart: it's not enough to be afraid. After all, he is also a medical student, and he will not be afraid of seeing blood or seeing dead people, and he will not go to the Virgin Mary. To prevent a feudal emperor from killing people, the only moral bottom line for him as a modern person is never to kill people himself.

Although he felt that Wei Lin's actions were making a fuss out of a molehill, Sheng Qing still said obediently, "Your Majesty is so kind to me."

After all, he still needs to win the favorability in Wei Lin's heart, and he also needs to be sweeter.

When Wei Lin heard what Sheng Qing said, she couldn't help raising the corners of her lips. If a person had a tail, Wei Lin would be wagging his tail happily at this moment.

There was a lot of movement on Wei Lin's side, and the guards and eunuchs who were handling the corpse at the well naturally heard it too.

Seeing that it was the emperor arriving, several people immediately trot over to salute Wei Lin.

"Subordinates and slaves see Your Majesty."

In the case of a dead person in the palace, under normal circumstances, the Department of Internal Supervision and the institution on duty of the deceased are jointly investigated and dealt with, so it is the new Director of the Internal Supervision Department, Mr. Tan Yi, the head of the bodyguard.

The two of them knelt for a long time but did not hear Wei Lin ask them to get up, so Chen Xing peeked at the back of Wei Lin's feet, half revealing a pair of white brocade boots that were a circle smaller than Wei Lin's feet. He will wear white in the palace, and the dark patterns on the boots are fancy, not like ordinary men's boots, so there is only one possibility...

Thinking of this, Chen Xing immediately said: "The slave sees the nobleman, congratulations, Your Majesty, for having a beloved man."

Tan Yi didn't have Chen Xing's delicate thoughts, but when he saw Chen Xing say that, he followed suit.

"Get up."

After Wei Lin's voice came from above their heads, the two stood up with a sigh of relief.

But when he saw it, he was shocked.

It's terrible, His Majesty's new lover turned out to be the demon queen from the previous dynasty, their country is in danger!

What the two of them didn't know was that Sheng Qing was also very surprised at the moment, what were they talking about, how could he somehow become Wei Lin's person?

Only Wei Lin was present with a slight smile, this eunuch could really speak.

Although several people present had their own thoughts, they all knew that the main purpose now was to solve the case of adultery of the guards that had been rumored in the palace for several days.

"Take me over there to have a look."

"Yes."

Chen Xing and Tan Yi immediately led the way. Before Chen Xing left, he gave Sheng Qing an indescribable look.

Sheng Qing was dumbfounded, why did he feel that Chen Xing's eyes looked like he was spurning a scumbag.

When he saw the corpse and the remains, Sheng Qing immediately understood why Chen Xing looked at him like that.

I saw a male body beside the well that had been soaked beyond recognition by the well water. The body was wearing the clothes of a palace guard, but there were friction marks on the hands of the body, which was obviously pushed down the well.

Beside the corpse was a jade pendant and a handkerchief.

The fineness and specifications of the jade pendant can only be used by noble concubines in the palace, and the word 'Qing' is clearly engraved on it, saying that it is not Sheng Qing's, no one will believe it!

As for the handkerchief, it was even more outrageous. It directly read: "At midnight tonight, see you next to the Dragon Well in the Imperial Garden."

Good guy!

This is not only to say that he had an affair, but also to frame him for killing his lover in order to survive after hearing the rumors. It's too vicious!

snort!No, he wanted to ask Wei Lin to redress his grievances. Fortunately, he told Wei Lin in advance that the child was not the old emperor's business.

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me."

Sheng Qing bit her lip and looked at Wei Lin pretending to be wronged.

"I believe in you."

No one knows better than Wei Lin where the lover who had an affair with Sheng Qing is. Looking at the corpses on the ground and the so-called evidence, Wei Lin's eyes show killing intent. Sometimes he obviously doesn't want to increase the number of killings. It's a pity that some people just like to hit the tip of the knife.

"Cloud seven, cloud nine!"

"exist!"

The two You Yunqi who followed Wei Lin replied in unison.

"I will give you one day to find out the truth of this matter, and everyone, no matter the mastermind or the accomplice, will be killed!"

"Yes."

After getting the order, Yun Qi and Yun Jiu flew away immediately. Since entering the palace, they have been guarding the gate all day, and now they can finally use their muscles and bones.

On the other hand, Chen Xing and Tan Yi were frightened by Wei Lin's punishment. It was just because of the death of a guard. The death penalty of beheading in half was too severe, but they just thought about it in their hearts and dared not say it.

After this incident, they have seen the ruthlessness of the new emperor, and they don't want to be cut in half with those who committed crimes.

"Let's go."

The case was handed over to You Yunqi, and Wei Lin rest assured that within a day, the whole truth will be found out.

On the way back, Sheng Qing lowered his head and didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering who is my child's father? If he was a guard, would he be pushed into the well and killed like this?"

Sheng Qing lamented that human life in the palace was worthless. Someone wanted to frame him, and a guard was killed just like that.

Wei Lin: ...

"No." He is alive and well now.

Seeing Sheng Qing's sullen look, Wei Lin also felt sullen, and even thought impulsively, or else he would tell Sheng Qing everything now, and he really couldn't see Sheng Qing being upset about it.

Just when Wei Lin was hesitant to tell Sheng Qing the truth, he heard Sheng Qing say, "I don't think so."

"I remember that man had a very deep scar on his chest. Even if he was a guard, he should be a fierce guard. It would not be that easy to die."

As a doctor, Sheng Qing is very clear about the location of human organs. The scar of the person that night was too close to the heart. It is definitely lucky to be alive after suffering such a serious injury.

Thinking about his mess after that night...how could such a barbaric person die so easily!

And after hearing Sheng Qing's words, Wei Lin couldn't help smiling, not the kind of invisible smile, but a very warm smile that came from the bottom of his eyes.

Fierce?

For a moment, Wei Lin didn't know whether Sheng Qing was praising him or scolding him.
