Chapter 254: Demoting Wife to Concubine
"Your Majesty is telling the truth," Jiang Chunxi was so excited that she couldn't stop crying, "After so many years, I can finally see my family again. I thought I would never see them again in this lifetime."
"Queen, it's all my fault," the emperor said with guilt as he wiped away the tears on Jiang Chunxi's face, "It's all my fault, if it weren't for me..."
"Of course it's the emperor's fault," Jiang Chunxi interrupted the emperor, "I have suffered so much because of the emperor, and even my family can only return home in disgrace."
"But who makes us husband and wife? So no matter how much I resent you, I can't help but always think about you. That's why I've been so worried about your offspring over the years. After all, we are husband and wife, and husband and wife are one." Jiang Chunxi then changed the subject, "Of course, I remember all the kindness that the emperor has shown me over the years."
"So! I no longer have any resentment towards Your Majesty," Jiang Chunxi said, looking at the emperor affectionately, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and don't leave me behind. Otherwise, how can I live without you by my side?"
"Of course, I hope I can walk ahead of you. I will lead the way for you on the road to the underworld..."
"Alright, alright, stop saying such unlucky words," the emperor held Jiang Chunxi in his arms, "Queen, we will definitely live a long and long life together, you are not allowed to say such unlucky words again."
If a wife is found like this, what else can a husband ask for?
No, he had to hurry up and arrange everything. Otherwise, if he suddenly passed away one day, what would the queen do?
Where the emperor couldn't see, Jiang Chunxi's eyes flashed with sarcasm.
What's the point of dreaming about wanting to live a long and long life?
Over the years, in order to allow the dog emperor to have offspring again, she kept a close eye on the dog emperor's favor to the concubines in the harem. Even if the dog emperor did not turn over the green card, she would let the concubines go to the Qinzheng Palace to sleep with him. In short, she made sure that the women drained the dog emperor's energy.
In addition, the dog emperor is a diligent official. This is equal to what? It is equal to double torture! Even a body of iron can't bear it!
So wanting to live a long life is just a dream.
And as an executioner, she not only did not arouse suspicion from others, but also won the reputation of a virtuous queen. Even the dog emperor, who was always forced by her to favor women, was deeply moved by her behavior and did not think that there was anything wrong with her behavior at all.
After all, what could be wrong with Jiang Chunxi's behavior? She just wanted the emperor to have a son. Who would doubt her for being such a virtuous queen who cared so much about the emperor?
Another six years passed, and the prince adopted by the emperor was already six years old. The emperor's health could no longer hold out this year, and he issued an imperial decree to let Jiang Chunxi serve as regent. He died with his last breath.
Letting Jiang Chunxi serve as regent meant letting Jiang Chunxi rule the country from behind the scenes, and the emperor's decision was not opposed by the ministers in the court. After all, the emperor had started to build momentum for Jiang Chunxi two years ago, and most of the memorials in the past two years were approved by Jiang Chunxi. Those ministers who dared to jump out had long been dealt with by the emperor.
Therefore, the ministers in the court, who were unable to accept the Queen's power at the beginning, have now been able to accept it calmly. Therefore, naturally no one dared to say anything about the Emperor's edict before his death.
"Your Majesty, please don't leave," Jiang Chunxi cried bitterly, "If you leave like this, what will happen to us orphans and widows? Your concubine and the prince cannot live without you!"
"Don't cry," the emperor was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to raise his hands. "I have arranged everything for you, and I have handed over all the power and military authority to you. As long as you handle the affairs of state according to what I teach you, there will be no problem."
"Chun Xi, it is my blessing to marry you in this life, but I did not treat you well. I only hope that in the next life I can make up for what I owe you in this life, and we... can... can do it again..."
The emperor died before he could even utter the word "husband and wife", which made Jiang Chunxi breathe a sigh of relief. She really didn't want to be disgusted.
After all, being married to a scumbag like the Dog Emperor is simply unlucky for eight lifetimes. I believe the original owner's greatest wish is to never meet the Dog Emperor again in the next life, and never have anything to do with such a scumbag again for the rest of her life.
It is worth mentioning here that King Cheng had long been dealt with by the Dog Emperor. He died when he fell off his horse while racing.
As for Concubine Che, it was even easier to deal with her. Because of the sudden death of Prince Cheng, she became ill with worry. The imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau tried their best to treat her, but they were unable to save her. She was bedridden for a year and eventually died with Prince Cheng.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see what is going on, but who dares to say anything?
Even Prince Cheng's wife didn't dare to say a word, unless the entire Prince Cheng's mansion didn't want to live anymore.
After the death of the Dog Emperor, Jiang Chunxi officially began her regency until the little emperor got married at the age of eighteen, then she handed over the imperial power to the little emperor.
As for the choice of empress for the young emperor, the Jiang family actually had their own ideas at the time. They wanted the Jiang family to have another empress.
However, she was rejected by Jiang Chunxi. She just said that she didn't want the girls of the Jiang family to go through the same path she had gone through again, so the Jiang family gave up the idea.
Yes! No one knows better than the Jiang family how the Empress Dowager has come step by step with difficulty.
It can be said that the Jiang family almost ended up like the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked.
So, the position of the queen is not that good. Instead of wanting the Jiang family to have another queen, it is better to retreat bravely and do good to the little emperor. After all, the emperor has his own ministers, and the one who will be in power in the future is the little emperor.
In short, the Jiang family was really scared by the late emperor.
After Jiang Chunxi handed over the imperial power to the young emperor, she lived for another two years. Seeing that the young emperor handled the affairs of state with ease, she left this world with peace of mind.
But then again, Jiang Chunxi really lost a lot in this world. It can be said that she lost everything, not even her underwear was left. However, the rewards were also generous. The points she earned from completing this mission were three times the points she earned from previous missions.
But a loss is a loss. Even if the points earned this time were three times more, Jiang Chunxi's wounded heart would not be comforted at all.
Because of this huge loss, after Jiang Chunxi returned to the real world, she immediately entered the next world to continue her mission. She had to earn back the lost points as soon as possible, so naturally she couldn't waste a single minute.
"Chun Xi, why don't you say anything? I finally asked for grace from Concubine Xian to let you serve in Concubine Xian's palace. Aren't you happy?" Looking at the man in front of her opening and closing his mouth, Jiang Chunxi was annoyed to death.
