Chapter 566: The Crown Prince and Concubine
Tang Xiji did not sentence Xie Junwen to death, but demoted her to a commoner and imprisoned her in the cold palace.
Concubine Du was naturally dissatisfied with this result, but the emperor had already made the decision, and it was useless for Concubine Du to be dissatisfied.
But it doesn't matter, isn't there still the Xie family? So the Xie family will just wait for the Du family's revenge in the court!
When Xie Junwen received the news that she was banished to the cold palace, she almost went crazy and clamored to see the emperor. However, Tang Xiji was unwilling to see her again, and Concubine Du would not let Xie Junwen have the chance to see the emperor again. Otherwise, it would be bad if the emperor softened his heart and gave up the idea of sending Xie Junwen to the cold palace.
Therefore, Xie Junwen was sent to the cold palace that day, and all the servants around her were sentenced to death, while her daughter, the second princess, was sent to the princess' residence.
On the night that Xie Junwen was sent to the cold palace, Jiang Chunxi came to the cold palace.
"It's you," Xie Junwen looked at Jiang Chunxi angrily, "You bitch, you came here on purpose to make fun of me, didn't you? It's all because of you, bitch. Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't be so heartless to me, and I wouldn't end up like this."
"Wow! Why, why is God so unfair?" Xie Junwen broke down and burst into tears, "It was obviously me and the emperor who fell in love first, and I was obviously the emperor's wife, but in the end, you, a bitch of low birth, took away everything from me."
"Although the emperor has not made you the queen, I know that in his heart, you are the only one who is his wife."
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi chuckled, "Xie Junwen, you have to accept defeat when you gamble. If you lose, you lose. What's the point of being unwilling? I know you have always looked down on me in your heart, but so what? In the end, I am the one who has everything you want."
Then Jiang Chunxi came to Xie Junwen and looked down at her, because Xie Junwen was slumped on the ground at this time: "Xie Junwen, you probably didn't expect that you would end up like this one day! But you have to thank me for this. After all, if I hadn't helped you, how could you have drugged Concubine Du, and how could Concubine Du find out that she was drugged by you."
"So it's you," Xie Junwen stood up with her eyes wide open, "Why? I have no grudge against you, why are you trying to hurt me like this? It's not enough that you've taken away everything from me, you even want to kill me. You're so vicious, are you afraid of retribution?"
"Haha! Retribution," Jiang Chunxi laughed happily, "It's as if you, Xie Junwen, are so pure and kind. How dare a wicked person say such high-sounding words."
"But it's true. Isn't Xie Junwen suffering retribution now? No wonder you believe in retribution," Jiang Chunxi said with a half-smile, "But I only believe that man can conquer nature. If I hadn't always firmly grasped the emperor's heart, would you, Xie Junwen, have let me go?"
"After all, you, a noble lady, let a peasant woman of humble origin, slap me in the face like that. How can you, Xie Junwen, not hate me to the core and wish I could live a life worse than death? If I hadn't been more skilled, my current situation might have been even worse than yours."
"You bitch," Xie Junwen looked at Jiang Chunxi with a ferocious expression, "I really want the emperor to take a good look at your ugly face right now. I will keep my eyes open and wait to see how you, a bitch, will be retaliated against when the emperor sees through your true face."
"Don't worry about that," Jiang Chunxi said nonchalantly, "You! You should think carefully about how you are going to survive the rest of your life. You don't think being locked up in the cold palace is the worst situation, do you?"
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi chuckled, "You caused Concubine Du to lose her fertility. Do you think Concubine Du will let you go easily?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Chunxi was too lazy to stay any longer and turned around and left with her people.
Watching Jiang Chunxi leave, Xie Junwen collapsed to the ground again, unable to hold back her tears.
She knew that the bitch Jiang Chunxi was right. Even if she was locked up in the cold palace, Concubine Du would not let her go.
And the fact is indeed so. Ever since Xie Junwen was locked up in the cold palace, she has been living a life worse than death every day. Her life is dozens of times worse than that of the original owner and her daughter in her previous life. But Concubine Du didn't want Xie Junwen to die quickly and put an end to it all. Therefore, even though she lives in hell every day, Xie Junwen is still alive and well.
This was naturally what Jiang Chunxi had someone specially remind Concubine Du of. If one wanted to take revenge on someone, letting the other person die quickly would be too easy for the other person. The best revenge was to make the other person live a life worse than death.
Time soon came to the time when Jiang Chunxi's eldest son was eighteen years old. As he grew older, although Tang Xiji still loved Jiang Chunxi, his favor for Jiang Chunxi was not as great as before. It was good enough for him to come to Jiang Chunxi's palace two or three times a month.
Unlike before, when he spent half of his time in Jiang Chunxi's palace.
Men are all like this! They all like young and fresh women. Even though Jiang Chunxi took good care of herself, she still lost her freshness.
Of course, if Jiang Chunxi was willing to spend more time on Tang Xiji, then things would be different. But the problem is that as her two sons grew up, Jiang Chunxi was no longer willing to act with Tang Xiji. Therefore, Jiang Chunxi was willing to see her love for Tang Xiji gradually fade.
It is worth mentioning here that over the years, Tang Xiji had three more sons, all born to concubines of humble origins. Concubine Du once proposed to Tang Xiji to adopt a prince, but was rejected by Tang Xiji.
After all, the Du family is in the court, so how could Tang Xiji, as the emperor, not feel wary of them?
You can say that! When Xie Junwen drugged Concubine Du, Tang Xiji was very happy to see it.
Emperors all have a common problem, which is that they are afraid of death and are wary of their grown-up sons. After Jiang Chunxi's eldest son got married and entered the court, Tang Xiji immediately became wary of and suppressed his son. The image of a kind father to his son was gone forever, which made Jiang Chunxi's eldest son sad for a long time.
However, the child was smart and soon understood the truth that there was no father and son in the royal family. Therefore, he treated his biological father Tang Xiji as the emperor instead of treating him as his father.
Jiang Chunxi had already planned how Tang Xiji would die, so when Jiang Chunxi became a grandmother, Tang Xiji started taking elixirs.
Oh! By the way, the Queen Mother had died a long time ago. It can be said that she was pissed off by her own son Tang Xiji. The Queen Mother wanted her niece to be the Queen, but failed. Later, she set her sights on Jiang Chunxi's son. In short, she had to make another Queen from her own family.
This naturally violated the emperor's great taboo, and brought the relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager to a freezing point. He was even more disgusted with the empress dowager's family, so the empress dowager's family was in trouble. Those family members who served as officials in the court were either demoted or demoted.
The Queen Mother fell seriously ill as a result and was bedridden. She died within half a year.
Of course, this must have been done by Jiang Chunxi. As the saying goes, "kill you while you're sick." How could Jiang Chunxi miss this opportunity and continue to keep the empress dowager to make things difficult for herself?
As for Xie Junwen's daughter, she was naturally sent to marry a foreign prince. Jiang Chunxi didn't need to do anything herself to make this happen. She just asked someone to whisper a few words to Concubine Du, and Concubine Du helped her get it done.
Here I have to say, isn’t the second princess too innocent?
Haha! But so what?
Wasn’t the original owner’s daughter innocent in her previous life?
Tang Xiji had a stroke two years after he started taking elixirs. It was because he had too much exciting sex on the bed with a palace maid that caused the stroke. Not only was his whole body paralyzed, he couldn't even speak.
Naturally, Tang Xiji and Xie Junwen, the crazy couple, must also have a taste of what the original mother and daughter had suffered in their previous lives. You know, Xie Junwen is still alive, so Tang Xiji naturally cannot die peacefully.
Paralysis was the ending that Jiang Chunxi had planned for him. As the king of a country, he ended up paralyzed in bed. The pain was unimaginable, and it was also the best revenge for Tang Xiji.
After Tang Xiji became paralyzed, Jiang Chunxi's eldest son inherited the throne.
After becoming the empress dowager, Jiang Chunxi visited Tang Xiji every day, putting in enough superficial efforts. She had no intention of revealing her true face in front of Tang Xiji, lest she angered Tang Xiji to death, which would be too easy for him.
