Chapter 229 Demoting Wife to Concubine 6
Chapter 229 Demoting Wife to Concubine 6
"Your Highness has never been a mother, so naturally she won't understand our heartache. A child is a mother's life. We don't ask Your Highness to empathize with us, but we also hope that Your Highness will stop making sarcastic remarks here." This was the voice of Concubine Xiao.
From her words, it can be heard that she did not take Concubine Jiang Chunxi seriously at all, and just regarded her as one of the other troublemakers.
Jiang Chunxi naturally wouldn't argue with Concubine Xiao at this time: "Concubine Xiao, although I have never been a mother, I can understand your feelings at this moment, but this does not mean that you can use the child to threaten the emperor."
"Your behavior is extremely rebellious. Hurry up and go back, or don't blame me for having you all dragged away."
"My Lady, we are not leaving," Chen agreed. "When I knelt outside Fengyi Palace tonight, I did not expect to survive. The child in my belly was killed by the evil queen. Why can the evil queen still live in Fengyi Palace and continue to be her queen?"
"Your Majesty," Chen Ying then shouted angrily to Fengyi Palace, "You fought so hard to build this kingdom, is it just to let a demon queen harm your offspring? I don't know what kind of magic that demon queen cast on you to make you protect her."
"Your Majesty, I beg you to sober up! I am willing to sacrifice my life to make Your Majesty sober. I only beg Your Majesty not to be deceived by that evil queen."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Da Ying stood up and slammed hard against the wall of Fengyi Palace.
"what!"
Chen Da Ying's action naturally caused screams, and even Jiang Chunxi pretended to be frightened and her face turned pale.
"Why are you still standing there?" Jiang Chunxi shouted at the palace maids and eunuchs, "Hurry up and carry Chen Ying back, and then go and call the imperial physician."
"If she wants to die, let her die. Why summon the imperial physician?" At this moment, the emperor finally appeared with a gloomy face. "Someone, come! Drag Chen away and beat her to death with sticks."
Chen Da Ying didn't really want to die, so even though she was bleeding from the head, she was still alive and not even unconscious. So when she heard the emperor's words, her rationality instantly collapsed, and she pointed at the emperor with a trembling hand: "You...you tyrant, you are so partial to that evil queen, how are you different from the previous emperor, you are both tyrants and tyrants."
"I am watching from underground, watching what will happen to such a tyrant like you."
When Jiang Chunxi heard Chen Da Ying's words, she was so scared that she immediately knelt down with her head lowered.
The same went for the other concubines. They didn't even dare to cry at this moment. In short, they were all frightened by Chen Da Ying's remarks.
The emperor's face became even gloomier: "Drag Chen Ying away and tear her into pieces. Grind her bones and scatter her ashes for me."
The eunuchs below quickly dragged Chen Da Ying away, and covered her mouth before dragging her away, for fear that she would say something more terrible.
After Chen Ying was dragged away, the emperor glanced coldly at the concubines present and said, "All of you, go back here, or else, all of you will go and keep Chen Ying company."
All the concubines present hurriedly stood up and almost rolled away, fearing that if they were a second late they would be executed by the Emperor.
Jiang Chunxi naturally stood up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by the emperor: "Noble Concubine Jiang, what role did you play in tonight's incident? Do you also think that the queen is a demon queen?"
"I dare not," Jiang Chunxi said with her eyes downcast, "but if the emperor insists on thinking so, I have nothing to say."
The emperor looked at Jiang Chunxi with complicated eyes. It was undeniable that as a wife, Jiang Chunxi had been very competent over the years. If Jingyao was not there, the emperor would have been willing to let Jiang Chunxi be the queen.
But there are no ifs in this world.
"Since my mother has given you the power of the palace, you should control the concubines in the harem. I don't want something like what happened tonight to happen again. I hope the concubine won't let me down again."
"I obey your command." Jiang Chunxi knelt down on the ground.
At the same time, in Fengyi Palace.
"What, my aunt handed over the power of the palace to that bitch Jiang Chunxi." After hearing Xuanchun's words, Shen Jingyao's expression became ferocious.
"I just heard the emperor say this myself. The emperor also asked Concubine Jiang to properly control the concubines in the harem," Xuanchun said anxiously, "Your Majesty, what do you think the empress dowager and the emperor mean by this? How can they hand over the power of the palace to Concubine Jiang? If the power of the palace is in the hands of Concubine Jiang, where does this put you, the master of the harem?"
"Ha!" Shen Jingyao laughed at herself, "I will no longer be the queen soon, so how can I be the mistress of the harem?"
Her aunt and cousin knew exactly what Jiang Chunxi's existence meant to her, but they still handed over the power of the palace to Jiang Chunxi without considering her feelings at all.
Shen Jingyao had to admit that things were becoming increasingly unfavorable for her, and what happened tonight made her even more panicked.
Maybe, she might not even be able to become an imperial concubine.
After a while, the emperor walked in from outside.
"Cousin, have all the concubines left?" Shen Jingyao burst into tears again, "Why, why did the three princesses have a high fever at the same time? Cousin, do you also think that I am unlucky for the three princesses?"
"I don't think so, don't let your imagination run wild," the emperor came to sit on the bed. Although he said this, it was impossible to say that he didn't have any doubts in his heart. "Well, don't think too much. I have already severely punished Chen Yingying and frightened the concubines in the harem. I believe they will not dare to come to Fengyi Palace to make trouble again."
"I just feel uneasy," Shen Jingyao leaned against the emperor's arms, "After this incident, I don't know how the ministers of the previous dynasty will slander me. Cousin, I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid," the emperor hugged Shen Jingyao tightly, "I said I would protect you, and I will keep my word. I will never let anything happen to you."
As he said this, the emperor frowned in annoyance. After what happened tonight, the ministers in the court didn't know what to do next.
As for blocking the news...
Because the new dynasty had just been established, not only was the previous dynasty still in a mess, but the harem was the same, so the emperor had no hope of preventing the news from leaking out of the palace.
As for the three daughters...
It is impossible to say that the emperor is worried, after all, she is his own biological daughter. But it is obvious that his own biological daughter is not as important as Shen Jingyao, so even if he has doubts in his heart, the emperor still has no intention of giving up Shen Jingyao.
"Cousin," Shen Jingyao hugged the emperor's waist, naturally moved again, "Jingyao is so lucky to be loved by you in this life."
