Chapter 559 The Crown Prince's Concubine 6
Time soon came to the day when Jiang Chunxi was about to give birth. During this period of time, Xie Junwen had thought about tampering with Jiang Chunxi's food.
However, Jiang Chunxi's diet needed to be strictly controlled by the people arranged by Tang Xiji. In addition, the nanny Tang Xiji arranged for Jiang Chunxi to teach her was also good at pharmacology. Naturally, Xie Junwen did not dare to do anything easily. She could only take action on Jiang Chunxi's midwife.
The women in the harem have endless ways to harm people, but in fact, as long as the man is willing to take the trouble to protect her, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks the women in the harem have, it will be useless.
As for the queen...
The Queen actually wanted to take action against Jiang Chunxi, but the child in Jiang Chunxi's belly was her grandson after all, so she hesitated.
This hesitation lasted until the day when Jiang Chunxi was about to give birth.
Of course, the queen has not given up the idea of killing Jiang Chunxi, but as I said before, while her son still loves Jiang Chunxi, the queen will not take action against Jiang Chunxi.
So during this period, the queen gave her son several beautiful concubines, all of whom were daughters of minor officials, and of course some were former palace maids.
In order to divide Jiang Chunxi's favor, the queen was very confident that as long as there were enough beauties, her son's favor for Jiang Chunxi would gradually fade. After all, isn't that the case for all men in the world?
Therefore, the queen did not think of doing anything when Jiang Chunxi gave birth. On the one hand, it was for the consideration of the child in Jiang Chunxi's belly. After all, if the child was kept and the mother was gone, who could guarantee 100% that the child would be safe?
On the other hand, it was naturally because it was not the time for Jiang Chunxi to die yet. After all, his son still cherished Jiang Chunxi very much. None of the concubines sent to the East Palace by the Queen was useful. Tang Xiji only favored them once or twice and then abandoned them. Even to Xie Junwen, he only visited her three times a month at most. Most of the time, he stayed in Jiang Chunxi's Lixiangyuan.
"Crown Princess, Jiang Liangdi is about to give birth."
On this day, Xie Junwen had just returned from paying her respects to the Queen when a eunuch came running to report to her.
"Got it. I'll be there in a minute." Xie Junwen waved her hand to let the eunuch go out, then looked at Yunsu and asked, "Will those midwives not make any mistakes? I don't want to work in vain and let that bitch Jiang Liangdi give birth to the child without any danger."
"Master, rest assured. The Xie family has fed poison to those midwives. If they want to get the antidote, they will never dare to not work hard for you. Jiang Liangdi will definitely give birth to a stillborn baby today," Yunsu replied. "But as for the Crown Prince, should you send someone to inform him?"
"Of course I have to send someone to inform the Crown Prince," Xie Junwen sneered, "If I don't inform the Crown Prince, when Jiang Liangdi gives birth to a stillborn baby, the Crown Prince's first reaction will probably be to suspect me."
"Let's go! Jiang Liangdi is about to give birth, so I, the Crown Princess, must hurry over," Xie Junwen said to Yunxiang, "Yunxiang, go there in person and tell the Crown Prince that Jiang Liangdi is about to give birth."
When Xie Xie Junwen arrived at Lixiangyuan, all the concubines in the Eastern Palace had already arrived there.
Everyone pretended to be worried, but in fact everyone was cursing Jiang Chunxi's life in his heart.
Not long after, Tang Xiji also rushed back.
"Dad," Tang Baojiao ran to her father as soon as she saw Tang Xiji coming in, and started crying in fear, "Dad, Mom will be fine, right? Mom will definitely give birth to my brother and sister safely, right?"
"Yes, yes," Tang Xiji picked up his daughter, "your mother will definitely give birth to your brother or sister safely."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xiji frowned and looked at Xie Junwen and other concubines.
"Except for the Crown Princess, all the others should go back." Tang Xiji didn't believe that these concubines would be so kind as to care about Chunxi's childbirth. Who knows how each of them might be cursing Chunxi in their hearts.
Therefore, Tang Xiji naturally would not have a good face towards these concubines at this time. Of course, Tang Xiji also had a suspicious attitude towards Xie Junwen, thinking that she had no good intentions.
But Xie Junwen was the Crown Princess after all, so Tang Xiji couldn't afford to slap her in the face.
When the concubines heard what the prince said, they naturally didn't dare to say anything more. They all left in fear and trepidation, and at the same time became even more envious and jealous of Jiang Liangdi.
"Prince, I believe that Jiang Liangdi will give birth to the child safely. You don't need to worry too much." Xie Junwen said considerately:
"Jiang Liang Di will naturally give birth to the child safely," Tang Xiji looked straight at Xie Junwen, "unless someone is plotting something bad. I hope the Crown Princess will not let me down."
Tang Xiji, who grew up in the palace, naturally would not underestimate the means of the women in the harem. If he still loved Xie Junwen, he would certainly not doubt or speculate about Xie Junwen.
But now Xie Junwen does not have any filter of true love in Tang Xiji's eyes, so Tang Xiji is naturally very wary of her. That's why he has set up layers of protection for Jiang Chunxi, so that even if people want to harm Jiang Chunxi, they can't start.
However, despite all Tang Xiji's precautions, he probably never expected that Xie Junwen could actually bribe the midwife.
This is not because Tang Xiji was careless. On the contrary, Tang Xiji was very cautious when choosing midwives. He checked every midwife again and again, and was relieved only after making sure that there was no problem. But he never thought that the Xie family would send people to give chronic poison to the families of those midwives, forcing those midwives to serve Xie Junwen.
Xie Junwen almost couldn't maintain the gentle expression on her face, but she used a lot of willpower to let herself show a gentle smile: "Your Highness is right, as long as no one does anything bad, Jiang Liangdi will naturally give birth to the child safely."
"With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince protecting Jiang Liang Di, I believe no one would dare to have any bad intentions towards Jiang Liang Di. I will go to the Buddha and pray now, asking the Buddha to bless Jiang Liang Di to give birth to the child safely."
Xie Junwen was afraid that if she stayed any longer she would not be able to control her inner anger. Anyway, the midwives had already been arranged, so there was no need for her to stay here.
"Go!" As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xiji carried his daughter to the door of the delivery room and waited anxiously, without even bothering to look at Xie Junwen again.
Xie Junwen's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it. If Tang Xiji turned around at this moment, he would definitely see the ferocious expression on her face.
"Shouldn't the Crown Princess go to the Buddha to pray for Jiang Liang Di?" Yun Su quickly reminded the Crown Princess, "Then let's go to the temple now so that the Buddha can bless Jiang Liang Di to give birth to the child as soon as possible."
Xie Junwen put away the gloomy and ferocious expression on her face, took another deep look at Tang Xiji and his daughter, revealed a barely perceptible sarcastic smile and said, "Let's go!"
