Having said this, I saw the other person's expression change slightly.
Then she changed the subject and continued, "Your Majesty's words do make sense. I'm afraid to ask what your Majesty means."
Hongli tapped his fingertips on the table twice.
"You have a point. The concubine's pursuit of favor naturally cannot be stopped just like that. But if we can't start from here, how can we stop Noble Lady Ke's intentions without leaving any trace?"
I don’t know if the other party is soft-hearted or really can’t think of it.
Qingying didn't intend to speak actively.
She sighed softly, "This matter involves state affairs. I am stupid and don't know what to do."
A hint of impatience flashed across Hongli's eyes.
But the tone sounded very ordinary.
"When I was still a prince, I heard Lady Zhen say that during the reign of the previous emperor, the Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu, Lady Nian, was gifted with a fine spice."
"When you and Xiyue entered the palace, Empress Xiaoxian was deceived and the bracelets she gave you were filled with lingling incense."
"Qingying, if I also give Concubine Ke a good thing like this, will she no longer have any worries?"
Hongli's expression looked a little strange in Qingying's eyes.
Qingying had naturally heard of Nian Shilan from this place.
The other party's experience was exactly the same as Murong Shilan's.
Can such a thing be said so that anyone can know about it?
How could Zhen be so defenseless against Hongli?
She deliberately frowned and replied, "Your Majesty, the harem is all about having children. If you use something like this, it's inevitable that you'll inadvertently hurt others."
"Will Concubine Chun and Concubine Ke living together affect Concubine Chun and the Third Princess?"
"Also, Your Majesty doesn't know if Concubine Ke has anyone around who's proficient in medicine. Even if she isn't, there's no doubt there are plenty of these things on the grasslands. If Concubine Ke already knows about it, it would be even worse."
"I think this matter cannot be done lightly."
To make himself a bad guy, he is completely invisible.
Qingying is not a fool, nor is she obsessed with the other person, so why would she be willing to agree to this?
Qingying's words made Hongli fall silent.
Yes.
It would be fine if this matter is not discovered, but if it is discovered, the royal family's reputation will be trampled on the ground.
He frowned tightly and didn't speak again for a long time.
Qingying glanced at the other person's face and also had no intention of speaking again.
My hands are clean now, why should I dirty them for such a person?
Even if you have to do it in the end, you must make it look like you have no choice.
Let him feel guilty.
Otherwise, if you want to reward someone with the "good deed" of sterilizing something, just let him do it himself!
Although Qingying's words were tactful, they were enough for Hongli to understand roughly.
The silence between the couple lasted for nearly half a cup of tea.
Hongli seemed to have finally made up his mind.
"What was the thing inside the lotus bracelet called? Do you remember?"
Qingying didn't raise her eyebrows. "Your Majesty, this harmful thing was once so close to me. I almost couldn't get pregnant because of it. Yongji and Yonghu almost didn't get born because of it. How could I not remember it?"
The voice seemed tinged with sadness.
Qingying continued, "Linglingxiang, Your Majesty, that thing is called Linglingxiang."
Qingying's sudden change added a touch of tenderness to Hongli's eyes.
And I don’t know how much of the heartache is real.
Reached out and held Qingying.
"I used to think too simply and completely forgot about the people in the backyard. Not everyone has the same pure thoughts as you. Qingying, you have suffered."
Is this intended to move people with emotion?
Qingying's mind raced, and then she slowly shook her head.
She looked up at Hongli, her eyes full of affection.
"Your Majesty, if everyone in the world were the same, that would be terrifying."
"After all, Your Majesty is protecting me and my children, so I am not afraid of anything and will not bear grudges against me in the past."
