[R18] Quick Travel Heroine’s Counterattack Plan (h) – Chapter 289 of “Quick Travel Heroine’s Counterattack Plan (h)” [English]

Girl Queen Mother(30)

The rumors in the palace became more and more intense, even faintly alarming the previous court.Some ministers in the court asked about this matter, but Xuanyuan Ce suppressed them.Chen Jia was secretly observing the direction of the matter, but the two parties involved did whatever they had to do as if nothing had happened. They were not affected at all and were so anxious that they stood aside scratching their hearts and lungs.

More than half a month passed, and seeing that Xuanyuan Ce and Leng Xiyan were still there, Chen Jia finally couldn’t help it anymore.On this day, Xuanyuan Ce had just gone to the morning court when he ran to Leng Xiyan Palace with a group of concubines behind him.

Leng Xiyan was still sleeping at this time, and she felt really bad when she was suddenly woken up.Caihe reported from the side: “Miss, Concubine Min came here with her concubine, and is making a fuss at the entrance of the palace now…”

Leng Xiyan frowned slightly and said, “Let her wait for a moment, I’ll get up soon…” She quickly washed and dressed, which only took about two quarters of an hour.

Chen Jia was already waiting outside a little impatiently. During this period, a timid concubine said: “Sister Min Fei, why don’t we leave first and come back later…”

Chen Jia said coldly: “No, no one can leave. This matter is related to His Majesty’s reputation. We must ask clearly…” After hearing this, the concubine fell silent, and the other concubines did not dare to speak again, patiently waiting for Leng Xiyan.

Under everyone’s expectations, Leng Xiyan finally came out.Everyone performed the palace ceremony together: “Concubine, please see the Queen Mother…”

Leng Xiyan slowly said: “Get up, this early in the morning, why do you have to come to the Aijia Palace so early for work…”

Chen Jia said seriously: “The Queen Mother, the news in the palace that you and Your Majesty have an affair has spread to everyone, are you still unwilling to admit it?”

“Admit it? What did the Ai family do wrong that needs to be admitted?” Leng Xiyan asked.

“The Queen Mother…” Chen Jia suddenly called her, “I have always respected you since I entered the palace and never dared to violate palace ethics. However, you have seduced His Majesty regardless of ethics and morals, causing such a scandal in the palace. How can you put the sisterhood in the harem into disrepute?” she said sadly.

“Concubine Min, please don’t talk nonsense. Which of your eyes saw me seducing His Majesty?” Leng Xi asked expressionlessly.

“I already have definite evidence in my hands, aren’t you willing to admit it? As soon as the rumors came out last time, I already hinted that you should let go. I didn’t expect you to insist on letting it go. I watched this matter get worse and worse. I cannot let you mess up the palace and damage His Majesty’s reputation…” Chen Jiayi said righteously.

The other concubines heard that she had evidence in their hands and were convinced of the matter, so they also spoke:

“Empress Dowager, just admit it…”

“My concubine respects you so much, how could you do such a shameless thing?”

“Concubine, it’s so chilling…”

…

Seeing them sharing the same hatred, Leng Xiyan smiled slightly and said, “So, what are you going to do?”

Concubines, you look at me and I look at you, but I can’t tell you a way.Chen Jia said: “The Queen Mother, for the sake of Your Majesty’s reputation, you have no choice but to die to apologize in order to let this matter go away…”

Leng Xiyan said with a smile but not a smile: “Concubine Min, this is your goal, right? And the death of the Ai family, doesn’t it confirm the truth of this matter? You are really good at calculating…”

“Empress Dowager, I have never thought about it this way. Your Majesty is my husband, and I naturally hope that he will be well. If this matter reaches the front court, not only will your Majesty’s majesty be preserved, but you will also be sentenced to death. Instead of doing this, you might as well die to save your dignity. My concubine and the sisters in the harem will keep this secret for you…” Chen Jia said.

“According to what Concubine Min said, what method of death should the Ai family choose?” Leng Xiyan asked.

“The Queen Mother, I have prepared poisonous wine here. As long as you drink it, you will be poisoned and die within the time of making a cup of tea. It won’t be too painful…” After saying that, Chen Jia picked up the glass of wine from the hand of the palace attendant.

Leng Xiyan took the glass of wine from her hand, shook it, and said, “It’s still sweet-scented osmanthus wine. I didn’t expect Concubine Min to prepare it early…” When Chen Jia heard this, her face was a little confused.

Leng Xiyan spoke again: “The Ai family still likes to drink sweet-scented osmanthus wine… It’s a pity… The Ai family can’t enjoy this glass of wine…”

When Chen Jia heard this and was about to say something, a cold voice sounded from behind: “With me here, who dares to take action?”

Everyone looked at the palace door and saw Xuanyuan Ce walking in, with a cold expression on his face.

“I, my concubine, see your Majesty…” Everyone opened their mouths and saluted.

Chen Jia knew that things were going to be bad from the moment she saw Xuanyuan Ce. She lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at him, thinking about what she wanted to say.

Xuanyuan Ce walked up to her and looked at her silently. The majesty on his body made her breathless and her thoughts were in confusion.

Xuanyuan Ce slowly spoke: “Concubine Min, who gave you the courage to threaten the Queen Mother?”

There was no emotion in he’s voice, but Chen Jia felt inexplicably flustered.She raised her head and wanted to explain, but when she saw He’s eyes, she suddenly fell to the ground, unable to say a word.His eyes were as cold as ice and snow, looking at her as if she were looking at a dead person.

Chen Jia subconsciously wanted to beg for mercy, but before he could get close to Xuanyuan Ce, he kicked him away. She only heard his cold voice and said: “Here comes Concubine Min. I have committed an offense and attempted to murder the empress dowager, abolish the concubine’s position, demote her to a commoner, and give her a glass of poisonous wine. I will execute it immediately…”

When Chen Jia heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and she kowtowed desperately: “I beg your Majesty to spare my life. I know I was wrong. I don’t dare to do it anymore…”

However, it was useless. Two guards with knives restrained her on the left and right, and another guard walked towards her with poisoned wine.That glass of poisonous wine…she prepared for Leng Xiyan!Chen Jia struggled even more.

Xuanyuan Ce spoke again: “Concubine Min, since you prepared this wine yourself, then you should enjoy it!”

The guard held her chin, forced her to open her mouth, and forcefully poured the wine into her mouth.The surrounding concubines looked at this scene, and no one dared to speak.
