Chapter 412 The Tragic Queen
At the same time, in Concubine Li's palace.
"Who on earth attacked the Queen, and was so audacious as to drug her in front of the Emperor?" Imperial Concubine Li frowned and said, "I never thought that there would be such a capable person in the harem."
"Your Highness, why do I feel that the person behind this is not only targeting the Queen, but also you, Your Highness?" Chun Xiao said, "You just got pregnant, and something happened to the Queen's baby. It's hard not to suspect Your Highness."
"That's really good," Imperial Concubine Li laughed out of anger, "I didn't expect that they would plot against me. Investigate for me. I must find out the venomous snake."
"The Emperor has arrived."
At this moment, the eunuch's report was heard outside, and then the emperor walked in with a gloomy face.
Imperial Concubine Li winked at Chun Xiao and Xia Jing to leave, then she looked at the Emperor with dissatisfaction and said, "Your Majesty, you came to me with a dark face. Could it be that you suspect that I was the one who did this to the Queen?"
The person behind the scenes was really capable. He not only harmed the queen but also indirectly plotted against her. However, the other party probably didn't expect that the relationship between her and the emperor was so extraordinary.
"Why?" The Emperor looked at Concubine Li with a gloomy face and said, "I have already promised you that when the Queen gives birth, she will bleed to death, and you promised me that you would not do anything to the baby in the Queen's belly, but why did you betray my trust in you? You said one thing in front of me and another behind my back. Do you take advantage of my love for you and don't take me seriously at all?"
Imperial Concubine Li's face changed: "Your Majesty has determined that I was the one who attacked the Queen. He feels that I have betrayed your trust and the relationship between us."
"Your Majesty, you really disappoint me," Imperial Concubine Li said with tears in her eyes. "I have been in love with you for many years. Although I am not a kind person by nature, and I can even be said to be cruel and ruthless, I am not the kind of person who goes back on his word and says one thing to your face and another behind your back."
"Because I don't want to do that, and there is no need to do that. If I really want to attack the baby in the queen's belly, I will just refuse the emperor. Why should I promise the emperor not to attack the queen?"
"You are still quibbling," the emperor looked at Concubine Li with great disappointment, "The people you planted next to the queen have already confessed that you were the one who asked them to drug the queen, and you deliberately drugged the queen in front of me. What is your purpose in doing this?"
"Originally, the Queen was not going to drink the medicinal meal today, but I forced her to drink it, and I personally fed her the medicinal meal. What is this equivalent to? It is equivalent to me personally killing my own flesh and blood."
"Empress Li, you are so cruel!" The emperor's expression became sinister. "Your move is simply killing people. Do you think I love you, so no matter what you do to me, I will not do anything to you?"
"What does Your Majesty want to do with me?" Concubine Li stopped crying and looked at the emperor straight in the eyes. "Does Your Majesty want to execute me? If Your Majesty wants to execute me, then I will wait. Whether it is poison or three feet of white silk, I will wait for Your Majesty's decree."
Concubine Li dared to say this because she was sure that the emperor would not really let her die. Not to mention the child in her belly, based on the relationship between her and the emperor, she also believed that the emperor would not be willing to execute her.
As for why she didn't continue to defend herself, after all, it was not her who attacked the queen.
That was of course because Concubine Li knew that no matter how she defended herself, it would be useless.
However, she really didn't expect that the person behind the scenes could actually use the chess pieces she placed in the Queen's Palace to plot against her.
Good, good, this is really good. Concubine Li has never suffered such a loss before. The person behind this had better not let her out, otherwise she will definitely cut the other person into pieces to relieve her hatred.
"You..." The emperor pointed at Concubine Li angrily, "You dare to talk to me like this because you are sure that I will not do anything to you."
"I am only speaking the truth. If Your Majesty wants to blame me for this, then I have nothing to say." Imperial Concubine Li replied coldly:
"I have nothing to say," the emperor put down his hands and shook his sleeves vigorously, "My Concubine Li is really courageous. You don't take me seriously. It seems that I really spoiled you too much."
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor turned and left.
After all, what else can he do if he doesn't leave? It's because he really can't do anything to Concubine Li now. If he punishes Concubine Li now, it would indirectly prove that Concubine Li is the murderer of the Queen.
In short, when leaving Concubine Li's palace, the emperor truly felt what it was like to be suffocated, but even so, the emperor still couldn't let go of his love for Concubine Li. After all, the emperor truly loved Concubine Li!
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" As soon as the emperor left, Chunxiao and Xia Jing came in from outside, and it was Chunxiao who spoke first. "The emperor is really something, why doesn't he believe the queen? The emperor doesn't even think about it. With the queen's personality, if this thing was really done by the queen, the queen would not bother to quibble with the emperor."
The Emperor and Imperial Concubine Li spoke so loudly just now that Chun Xiao and Xia Jing, who were guarding outside the door, could hear it clearly.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Xia Jing said worriedly, "The Emperor doesn't trust you, and I'm afraid that he will become estranged from you."
Then Xia Jing looked angry: "The person behind this is really very clever! Not only did he harm the Queen, but he also made you bear the blame, causing the Emperor to turn away from you. If we don't find him as soon as possible, I'm afraid his next plot will be against the baby in the Queen's belly."
"Investigate, investigate thoroughly for me," said Concubine Li with a sinister expression, "Even if you have to turn the entire harem upside down, you must investigate thoroughly for me and pull out that poisonous snake."
Jiang Chunxi slept soundly and woke up the next morning. Although induced abortion was very painful, she had a cheat, so on the surface it looked like she was suffering a lot, but in fact Jiang Chunxi did not suffer much at all.
"Your Majesty, you are awake." Chu Yu saw the Queen wake up and hurriedly helped the Queen sit up. "I will have someone bring in the toiletries. Your Majesty, please wash up before eating."
"Empress, have a cup of hot water first!" Chu Qing brought a cup of warm water to Jiang Chunxi.
Jiang Chunxi was indeed thirsty, so she took the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"What was the emperor's expression when he saw the child's body last night?" Jiang Chunxi handed the empty cup to Chu Qing and asked:
"He looks like he's been hit hard," Chu Qing sneered, "But it's true. The emperor is indirectly killing his own flesh and blood, so how can he not be hit hard?"
