Chapter 706 The Tragic Concubine 3
"You... you are simply unreasonable," the emperor was so angry that he stood up and paced back and forth, "My favor to you is just an act. Could it be that my sincerity towards you has been thrown away? The love we have had since childhood has been exchanged for such slander from you."
"Chun Xi," the emperor stopped walking, "I know that losing your child is a big blow to you, but you can't deny my love for you like this! We grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and my feelings for you are evident to all. Just because I didn't convict Chengpin, are you going to completely deny our relationship?"
"Alas!" The emperor sighed helplessly, "Chun Xi, you must know that I am the emperor. You are well aware of the difficulties of being an emperor. Otherwise, I would not have forced you to choose another queen. You understood my difficulties so well before, why do you..."
"I used to understand you too well, which is why the emperor doesn't take me seriously now," Jiang Chunxi interrupted the emperor. "I have suffered the grievance of being a concubine from a wife. After entering the palace, in order not to cause trouble for you, I have been cautious in everything. I have been respectful to the queen who stole my throne, and I have never been arrogant to other concubines. I have lived like a cuckold."
"But what is the result? The child in my belly was blatantly killed by Concubine Cheng, but the emperor still favored that vicious woman. What has not been investigated clearly cannot be convicted of Concubine Cheng. This is already an obvious thing. What else needs to be investigated?"
"Even if an investigation is necessary, a month has passed. May I ask what has Your Majesty found out? If a king of a country wants to investigate such a small matter, shouldn't it be done in a matter of seconds? But a month has passed and there has been no progress at all. How can I trust you?"
"Your Majesty," Jiang Chunxi sneered at the emperor, "It's true that I love you, but that doesn't mean I love you to the point of losing my mind. In other words, anyone who isn't stupid can see that Your Majesty is protecting Concubine Cheng."
"To be honest, if the child in my belly was not the emperor's own flesh and blood, I would have thought that it was the emperor who ordered Chengpin to poison the child in my belly."
"But it is also true. If no one had instructed her, how could Concubine Cheng dare to harm me so blatantly? The reason why the Emperor protected Concubine Cheng was probably to protect the murderer behind the scenes!"
"And the person who made the emperor do this must be the queen."
The emperor was very nervous because of Jiang Chunxi's words, until Jiang Chunxi revealed that the queen was the murderer behind the scenes, the emperor finally relaxed.
"I will not hide it from you now," the emperor came to sit next to Jiang Chunxi, "Yes, it was indeed the Queen who ordered Chengpin. Without the Queen's instructions, how could Chengpin dare to harm you so blatantly."
"But you also know that I have no way to deal with the Queen now, so Chunxi, just think of it as another injustice for me. I promise you that when I am no longer controlled by others in the court, I will avenge our children and depose that vicious Queen."
Whether because of his love for Chunxi or because of the Jiang family's military power, the emperor must put the blame on the queen. Otherwise, if Chunxi is allowed to continue to suspect like this, she might end up suspecting him and his mother.
"Come on!" Jiang Chunxi said with disdain, "Your Majesty, do you think I can still believe you if you use such words to fool me again?"
"I now understand that you are a waste. A man who doesn't even dare to bring the murderer to justice and avenge his own flesh and blood when his own flesh and blood was murdered, if this isn't waste, then what is waste?"
"If I continue to believe your lies and be fooled by them, then my brain will be kicked by a donkey. I'd rather die early and be reborn, so as not to live like a joke."
"You...you..." The emperor was so angry that his face turned red, "I think you are really crazy."
"That's right, I'm crazy," Jiang Chunxi immediately retorted, "If Your Majesty doesn't want to hear me say even more unpleasant things, then leave now! Don't come to my palace again. From the moment you chose to protect the murderer, you are no longer the person I love in my heart. I don't hate you to the core because I've considered our years of friendship. If you want me to still love you and think about you, Your Majesty, don't dream."
"Chun Xi, is this really how things are going to be between you and me?" The emperor looked hurt. After all, he really loved Jiang Chun Xi in his heart.
"Yes," Jiang Chunxi said firmly, "The pain of losing a son is unforgivable, but the emperor actually chose to protect the murderer. Then don't dream that I can continue to love you wholeheartedly. I don't hate you too, which is already my limit. If you want me to continue to love you and serve you as if nothing happened, then I would rather end my life with a white silk."
"So Your Majesty, please don't come to my palace again. I don't want the friendship between you and me to disappear and become a pair of resentful enemies."
"Your Majesty, I really don't want to hate you, so please consider it as a plea from me. Please don't let me hate you, okay?" Two lines of tears fell from Jiang Chunxi's eyes.
Looking at Jiang Chunxi like this, the emperor felt as if his heart was pierced by thousands of arrows.
If he was not an emperor, and he and Chunxi were just an ordinary couple, then they should have been very happy, and the two of them would never have reached this point.
But there are no ifs in this world. As an emperor, he has the responsibility to let Chunxi down.
"I understand," the emperor said in a sad voice, "I will not come to your palace without your permission in the future. But Chun Xi, I still want to tell you that in my heart you are the love of my life. No matter when, I will wait for you to untie the knot in your heart, forgive me, and give me and our relationship a chance."
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor looked at Jiang Chunxi reluctantly and left. There was an indescribable heaviness in his steps as he left.
"Tsk!" Jiang Chunxi snorted disdainfully.
What a scumbag. Even at this point, he is still trying to act out some affectionate scenes. It's really disgusting.
The next morning, Jiang Chunxi got up early to pay her respects to the Queen.
Ever since the original owner became pregnant, the emperor had granted her permission to not have to pay respects to the queen, which indirectly slapped the queen in the face and caused the original owner to gain a lot of hatred from the queen.
Jiang Chunxi was the last one to arrive at the Queen's palace.
