Chapter 423 The Tragic Queen 21
Look how beautiful these love words are!
Jiang Chunxi almost vomited after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, since you asked me to consider things from your perspective, then please go to Concubine Li's palace tonight to see her! After all, her confinement has just been lifted. Even if it's because Concubine Li is a relative of the emperor, Your Majesty should go to Concubine Li's palace to see her." Jiang Chunxi wiped her tears and said sympathetically:
"What the Queen said is right. I should go see Lipin," the Emperor looked like he had a headache. "Recently, Lipin's father always mentioned Lipin in his memorials. I really can't ignore it. After all, the imperial examination held every three years is about to begin again. Lipin's father is the chief examiner of this imperial examination. I can't let my subjects down at this time."
Look at what the emperor said. He still treats Jiang Chunxi as someone who is good at fooling others, just like before.
But it is also true that once a person leaves a fixed image in another person's mind, it is difficult to reverse it. This is why Jiang Chunxi dared to expose herself in front of Lipin. It was just to watch Lipin's incompetence and rage. Who knows, maybe it would drive her crazy?
Haha! Jiang Chunxi is really looking forward to it.
When night fell, the emperor came to Concubine Li's palace.
Lipin burst into tears when she saw the emperor, but she said stubbornly: "Why did your emperor come to see me? Anyway, I am a vicious woman in your heart, so why did your emperor come to my palace?"
The emperor came to sit next to Lipin and said, "Yuesong, don't tell me that you haven't deeply realized the mistakes you made in the past six months. If that's the case, then you really disappoint me."
"Haven't I disappointed Your Majesty a long time ago?" Lipin was agitated. "Your Majesty, do you know what the Queen said to me when she came to my palace on the day I was demoted to a concubine?"
"Haha!" Lipin sneered, "The Queen said that she was the murderer behind the murder of the royal heir. She wanted to alienate the relationship between the Emperor and me and make the Emperor hate me. In order to plot against me, the Queen even did not hesitate to kill her own unborn child. In order to bring me down, the Queen really has no reservations."
"Because the Queen already knew that the Emperor was going to give her child to me to raise, so she simply gave up the child in her belly and was unwilling to give it to me for nothing."
The emperor looked at Lipin with a gloomy face: "I think you have been under house arrest for half a year, your brain must be broken, you can even make up such words, I think you are crazy."
"I am not crazy," Lipin stood up and shouted at the emperor excitedly, "Every word I said is true, but Your Majesty didn't even want to check it out and just assumed that I was crazy. Are you still the Qilang who loves me so much?"
The emperor is the seventh child in the family. When he was still the crown prince, Lipin always called him "Qilang" in private. But since the emperor ascended the throne, Lipin herself rarely called the emperor "Qilang" anymore, without knowing when.
Perhaps Concubine Li also subconsciously knew that the emperor was different after he ascended the throne, which made her subconsciously stop calling the emperor "Seventh Brother". However, this subconsciousness was ignored by Concubine Li.
It was not until this time when she called out the name Qilang again that Lipin realized that she had long ceased to regard the Emperor as her lover, and unknowingly she had treated her lover as the Emperor.
"If I didn't love you, I would have sentenced you to death long ago. Would I have gone to the trouble of protecting you?" The emperor also stood up. "I shouldn't have come to see you tonight, and I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and lifted your confinement. Instead, I should have extended your confinement."
After taking a deep breath, the emperor continued, "Since you don't realize your mistake, then you should continue to be confined to your palace! The palace has finally received good news. I will never allow you to harm the heir to the throne, and I will not let the child in Xinpin's belly suffer at your hands. So you should continue to be confined to your palace. When you realize your mistake one day, I will lift your confinement."
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor stood up to leave.
"Your Majesty," Concubine Li hurriedly hugged the emperor from behind, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that just now. Please forgive me and don't be angry with me, okay?"
Although Concubine Li was worried that the Queen would harm her again if the house arrest was lifted, she did not want to continue the house arrest. After half a year of house arrest, Concubine Li was almost suffering a mental breakdown.
And the most important thing is, if she doesn't go out, how can she fight with the queen.
"Alas!" The emperor sighed, then pulled away Lipin's hand that was hugging his waist, turned around and hugged her in his arms, "Yuesong, don't let me down again. I still don't have an heir. Do you think an emperor without an heir can sit on the throne securely? You know, my brothers are still alive and well. If I still don't have an heir, wouldn't my brothers be eager to make a move?"
"The most important thing is that if something happens to the heir again, I'm afraid the court officials will criticize it. After all, the imperial court and the harem are one, and it's not just your relatives who are officials in the court. The other concubines in the harem all have relatives who are officials in the court."
"So if you attack the heir again, no matter how much I want to protect you, I'm afraid I won't be able to do so. So for my sake or your own, I hope you won't let me down again."
Lipin felt like she was about to vomit blood, but she could only say: "Your Majesty, I will not let you down again. If Your Majesty is worried, you can send more people to protect Xinpin."
The purpose of Concubine Li saying this was naturally to guard against the Queen attacking Concubine Xin, and to use the Emperor's hand to guard against the Queen framing her.
"The Queen has already mentioned this to me, asking me to arrange for a nurse who understands pharmacology to take care of Concubine Xin. I will send that nurse to Concubine Xin's palace tomorrow." The Emperor said with some relief in his tone:
"It's not enough to just send a nurse who knows pharmacology," Lipin said, and then she raised her head from the emperor's arms and said, "For the sake of the dragon fetus in Xinpin's belly, the emperor should send a few more powerful nurses to serve Xinpin."
"Okay, I'll arrange a few more people to serve Concubine Xin," the emperor said, holding Concubine Li's face, "I haven't seen you for half a year, do you miss me?"
"Your Majesty," Lipin shyly put her arms around the emperor's neck, "What do you think? If I didn't miss you, I would have let you leave just now out of spite."
"It's just that I've been missing the emperor for the past six months and I'm almost sick. I just don't know if the emperor has missed me."
"Of course I do," the emperor held Lipin up horizontally, "If I didn't miss you, why would I rush to see you?"
