Chapter 716 The Tragic Concubine 23
"Your Majesty, what should we do? We can't let the Queen Mother raise Prince Chen's second son in the palace and let the Emperor adopt Prince Chen's child in the end!" Chun Yi frowned and said:
"Don't even think about it," the queen sneered, "My Shen family has been planning for so long, and we don't want others to reap the benefits. But regarding Prince Chen's son, we can't act rashly now. Let's wait until Concubine Du is pregnant."
"As for if Concubine Du's belly is really not doing well..." The Queen did not continue speaking, but she already had a plan in her mind.
If it is because of the emperor that the woman cannot get pregnant, then can we find a man to make Concubine Du pregnant?
But will the family agree to this plan? After all, it would confuse the royal bloodline!
At night, the emperor came to Jiang Chunxi's palace again.
When Jiang Chunxi saw him, she naturally looked impatient: "Your Majesty, why are you here again? How come I only found out today that your Majesty likes to be so cheap and has to make himself uncomfortable for no reason?"
"Your Majesty knows that I am a dog that cannot give you any ivory, but you still want to come to me to make me uncomfortable. I don't know what to say about this masochistic attitude."
The emperor no longer had the energy to be angry with Jiang Chunxi: "Yesterday I just agreed to the Queen Mother's proposal, and this morning the Queen Mother couldn't wait to bring Prince Chen's second son to the palace. So it won't be long before she forces me to adopt Prince Chen's child!"
Jiang Chunxi said with a mocking expression: "Isn't what the emperor said nonsense? The queen mother has already taken the prince's child into the palace. Could it be that the emperor still expects the queen mother to return empty-handed and finally send the child out of the palace."
"Alas! It's a good thing that no concubine in the harem has been pregnant over the years, otherwise the emperor would have to go through the pain of losing his own flesh and blood countless times. After all, the queen mother has planned so much for the prince, how could she possibly watch the emperor have a child?"
"How can you be so sure?" The emperor looked directly at Jiang Chunxi and said, "You were not so sure yesterday, but today..."
"I am pleased," Jiang Chunxi rolled her eyes and said, "Yesterday is yesterday, and today is today. Just like yesterday, the Queen Mother had not yet brought Prince Chen's second legitimate son into the palace, but today the Queen Mother has already brought Prince Chen's second legitimate son into the palace. I guess the Queen Mother is enjoying the happiness of family life with her precious grandson in Ci'an Palace right now?"
"The youngest son and the eldest grandson are both the apple of the old man's eye. This precious grandson has already been brought into the palace. Even for the sake of the precious grandson, the queen mother will never let him be sent out of the palace again."
"Your Majesty," Jiang Chunxi looked at the emperor sarcastically, "I think you should just stop struggling. Since the Queen Mother wants your precious grandson to succeed you as the Emperor, and you really can't give birth to a son, then just do as the Queen Mother wishes and adopt Prince Chen's son into your name."
"No matter what, Prince Chen is your brother. Don't let outsiders take away the wealth. Even if it is for the sake of filial piety to the Queen Mother, the Emperor must satisfy the Queen Mother's wish."
"I am sure that if you agree to adopt Prince Chen's son, the Queen Mother will be very happy. She might even give some of her motherly love to your son. After all, you are such a filial son. If the Queen Mother doesn't give you more motherly love, it would be too unfair to your filial piety, right?"
"Do you have to say things to irritate me?" The emperor finally got angry. It was because Jiang Chunxi's words could make people break down in a matter of minutes.
Jiang Chunxi shrugged: "That can't be helped. I only have this broken mouth. It's the emperor who is so servile that he has to make trouble in front of me. Don't blame me for letting my mouth be heard."
"Alas!" Jiang Chunxi sighed in a pretentious manner, "This is just my character. Your Majesty, please be more understanding! Of course, there is nothing I can do even if you don't understand. Your Majesty, please stop daydreaming if you want me to say a few nice words to make you happy."
The emperor felt powerless: "Chun Xi, I feel like I am alone now. You had me in your heart before, which makes me..."
"Stop, stop, stop," Jiang Chunxi quickly interrupted the emperor, "Your Majesty, please don't say anything sentimental to me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it back and vomit."
As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi looked at the emperor with eyes full of regret: "The thing I regret most in my life is that I once offered you my whole heart, believed your sweet talk, and agreed to enter the palace to be this useless imperial concubine."
"It's late at night," Jiang Chunxi said coldly, "I'm going to rest. If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, please leave now!"
"Do you really hate me so much now?" The emperor looked hurt, but he still stood up from the couch. "Since you want to rest, I will come to see you another day."
Having said this, the emperor walked outside.
Just as the emperor walked to the door, Jiang Chunxi said, "Your Majesty, since we once loved each other, I will remind you of one thing."
"Be careful, Queen Mother, especially with the food in the Queen Mother's palace. I am worried that the Queen Mother will not wait to send you off so that she can send her precious grandson to the throne as soon as possible and let her precious youngest son be the regent."
"So, you better be careful! Don't let the king of a country end up being killed unjustly, just like our poor child, who was killed by others just because he was an eyesore."
The emperor did not look back, but his steps as he walked out were particularly heavy. It was obvious that Jiang Chunxi's words had penetrated into his heart again.
After the emperor left, Yuanzhu and Yuanyuan walked in from outside.
"You tell me, should I do something?" Jiang Chunxi smiled maliciously. "If any of the concubines in the harem become pregnant and they all miscarry at the same time, how will the emperor feel?"
"What else can we think? We will definitely think that it was the Queen Mother's doing," Yuanzhu said with a malicious smile, "In order to let the son of Prince Chen ascend to the throne, the Queen Mother did not hesitate to kill and wantonly slaughtered the Emperor's descendants."
"Yes! This palace thinks so too," Jiang Chunxi said with a smile, "So! It's time to give the emperor a little surprise, but I don't know if the emperor can bear the blow after the surprise. I still have to see how the emperor and the queen mother love and hate each other, so the emperor must be able to bear the blow, and don't let me down!"
Two months later, an explosive event occurred in the harem. Five concubines in the harem became pregnant with the emperor's heir.
When the emperor heard the news, he was so excited that he almost went crazy with joy.
