The maid reminded, "Your Majesty, Concubine An would like to see you."
Concubine An had already surrendered to the Queen in order to preserve her pregnancy and successfully give birth to her son.
The Queen sneered: "Ask her to come in!"
Concubine An came alone and behaved politely.
"I have met the Queen, the Queen, Jin An."
The queen looked her over and said, "Concubine An, just now at the Xuanzheng Palace, what did the emperor say? You know it well."
Concubine An was shocked.
Now that she gave birth to a prince, the emperor liked it very much, but the emperor was not in a hurry to rescue the prince. This made Concubine An aware of her embarrassing situation. She hurriedly knelt down and spoke sincerely: "Return to the empress, my concubine, the emperor.
Only with the protection of the empress can I be born into the world. I am dull and have mediocre qualifications. I have never thought about things that I shouldn’t think about. I and the emperor...all obey the instructions of the empress."
As a concubine, she did not hesitate to kowtow to the empress three times at this moment, "I just ask the empress to continue to protect me. I will chant sutras and Buddhas day and night to pray for the peace of your highness."
It wasn't until Concubine An's legs were weak from her knees and cold sweat fell from her forehead that the Queen saw that she was self-aware and then said: "Get up."
Concubine An breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Concubine, thank you for your consideration."
It would be false to say that Concubine An did not covet the throne and was not tempted at all. However, Concubine An had worked in the palace as a maid for many years. She had long known that it was difficult to be in the palace and she did not have family support. Seeing her father
He and his sister are idiots who cannot enjoy the blessings of the Qi people. When they are no longer useful, they will be executed by the emperor sooner or later.
Of course...she might also be dealt with by the emperor.
Therefore, it was the right way to protect herself and the prince and seek refuge with the queen. She did not dare and could not even think about that position.
"I know your intentions, please go down first..." The queen paused, frowned and said: "Remember to blow the emperor's pillow. If the cholera epidemic is not solved by the court, the emperor may not be able to escape the infamy in the history books."
"Yes, I know this." Concubine An stepped back.
Suddenly, the queen's eyes were filled with fierceness, "The tiger's poison can't even eat its seeds! The emperor really refused to let Cheng'er go! That's the prince whose son he recovered so easily that he can walk! He's really stupid and unethical!"
The maids in the Queen's Palace were so frightened that they knelt on the floor, "Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"
The queen snorted coldly; "Be careful what you say? Ha..."
The emperor is unkind and unjust. She should have been killed long ago!
The queen sneered: "Here comes someone!"
The personal maid came forward and said, "...Mother."
"Tell Concubine Jing, if you really want to do it, then do it more swiftly and cleanly...the dosage can be increased."
The slave was so frightened that he stepped back again and again, but the Queen flew over with a sharp glare: "Calm down, go quickly!"
The slave took several breaths, and then said tremblingly: "Yes, Your Majesty."
In Concubine Jing's palace.
The slaves around the queen came in private and did not attract anyone's attention.
She glanced at the maid next to Concubine Jing and whispered, "Sister, please let me know."
The maid was suspicious when she saw that this was someone from the Queen's Palace, but she quickly went in to report, "My Lady, there is someone from the Queen's Palace."
Concubine Jing raised her eyebrows: "Queen?" The queen should not be busy with herself at this time, so how could she have time to send someone to her palace?
"Tell her to come in without making any noise."
"Yes, empress."
Not long after, the maid next to the Queen was brought in. Concubine Jing played with Yuyao, "Tell me, what do you think the Queen has to say?"
The slave girl glanced around, and Concubine Jing understood, "Everyone, step aside."
When there was no one in the palace, the servant said, "Concubine Jing said that the effect of your medicine can be increased."
With this sentence, Concubine Jing's face changed drastically in shock, and the Bu Yao in her hand fell to the ground, and the beads were completely broken. She hurriedly went to fish it out, but it was still in vain.
Just for a moment, Concubine Jing persuaded herself to calm down, she opened her lips and said, "...Queen, did you already know this?"
Concubine Jing wished she could eat the emperor alive. As much as she loved him at first, she hates him now.
Therefore, during the period when the emperor was in a state of rage, Concubine Jing pretended to take good care of him, but in fact she gave him forbidden drugs.
That medicine was a good product brought by my father and brother from the Western Regions, and few imperial doctors knew about it. It was also tasteless, and if taken for a long time, it could make people restless, confused, and even lead to bleeding to death from the seven orifices.
Concubine Jing had always been very secretive and used very little... She never expected that the Queen knew about it all along! But she didn't reveal it!
Concubine Jing, only then did she truly realize the depth of the palace of the Queen in the Middle Palace!
After a moment, Concubine Jing raised her eyes and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about, please go down."
The slave had already brought the message, so he didn't want to stay long and left in a hurry.
Then Concubine Jing closed her eyes tiredly, recalling her past days and nights with the emperor in her mind, and was shocked to realize that now, her former lover was trapped in the emperor's shell and was no longer the same person as before.
He became cold-blooded and selfish.
And what about the women in their harem?
Concubine Jing smiled sarcastically: "...Wei Li, Wei Li, after all, it was you who harmed yourself."
On the other side, the maid told the Queen verbatim Concubine Jing's reaction and response.
The queen looked indifferent, but she knew that Concubine Jing would definitely increase the dosage of the medicine.
The emperor should have died long ago.
It was the soft-heartedness of the concubines who surrounded the emperor all day long that led them to this point.
"Please step aside, I want to be quiet."
"yes."
I was alone in the palace, looking at myself in the mirror. My appearance was gone, and there was a bit more sternness and depression between my brows.
In fact, the queen didn't know whether Concubine Jing had done anything. This time she just blew up Concubine Jing, but she didn't expect that something would actually explode.
The queen guessed that Concubine Jing must have done something to the emperor, but because she had been fighting with Concubine Jing for many years, she was more familiar with this opponent than the emperor. Concubine Jing was a proud person, and she loved the emperor deeply, and she knew that the emperor personally harmed her.
How could she not be crazy if she was found to be infertile? This can be seen from the fact that Concubine Jing killed Concubine Hui.
So how could Concubine Jing, the real mastermind behind the scenes, let the emperor go?
And when something went wrong, there must be a demon. Concubine An was promoted to Concubine An, and even Concubine Yan entered the palace and was favored. During these days, Concubine Jing was also strangely silent. The queen did not think that Concubine Jing had accepted her fate, so Concubine Jing must have him.
conspiracy.
The queen had already thought clearly that if the emperor refused to save her Cheng'er, she would simply die.
A dead emperor...is a good emperor.
The woman in the mirror curled her lips and sneered.
…
At the same time, even though Jiang Qi and others had a tacit agreement not to mention cholera, they could not hide this from the Jiang family.
Mrs. Jiang was very anxious after hearing the news. She immediately asked Fu Bao and others to use the supplies stored in the current space on the family panel.
And he also kept an eye on whether the imperial court would take any action.
Mrs. Jiang is also a person who has been exposed to rain and wind for many years. If the emperor does not even care about the life of his own prince...then the Jiang family will know whether this "king" should be loyal or not.
The imperial court first made some lip service, which was nothing more than the emperor's anger and condemnation. It also ordered a day-to-day search for Qingyuan officials who had fled, and pretended to send some grain and grass to the south.
The imperial court also accused Jiang Qi of failing to protect the crown prince, but did not really touch the Jiang family.
However, in the intrigue and intrigue environment in the capital, this is tantamount to announcing that the Jiang family is being targeted by the emperor, and may be the beginning of its decline.
After hearing the news, Mrs. Jiang just sneered. The dragon stick left by the late emperor could be used to beat the emperor, but she didn't even move it.
She was not so angry that she went directly to the palace to scold the emperor as the eldest sister.
Because it's no longer useful.
At this moment, the king is the king and the minister is the minister.
The emperor wants to attack the Jiang family and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, so he cannot be soft-hearted.
So Madam Jiang openly purchased a large amount of grain, grass, and medicine, and took them directly to the south under the supervision of Jiang family slaves in the name of the Jiang family. It was just out of a mother's concern for her son, the prince, and others. This is reasonable, right? Emperor
What can I say?
It was obvious that the carriage was delivering batches of supplies, but in fact more supplies were scanned and put into the space by Mrs. Jiang and her daughter-in-law and sons. Behind the scenes, Mrs. Jiang also asked Jiang Qi and others to get supplies from the space.
After the cholera broke out, neither Fubao nor Jiang Qi were willing to enter the space anymore. The only way for the family to communicate was through the faceplate.
The only thing that makes Mrs. Jiang feel relieved is that it seems that the cholera has not spread on a large scale yet, and the prince and others have not shown any signs of contracting cholera. There are also some mysterious medical manuscripts sent in by Fubao,
It was also studied day and night by Jiang Xi and others.
I hope everything goes well and that I can spend this period of time safely.
Mrs. Jiang knelt in front of the Jiang family ancestral hall and prayed to her husband's memorial tablet.
