Chapter 403 The Tragic Queen 1
After the original owner's health collapsed, the emperor finally revealed his true colors and never entered the original owner's palace again.
Just like that, the original owner fell out of favor, and at this time she finally had some brains and wanted to get her children back. She had been pregnant and giving birth to children over the years, and the emperor had been brainwashing her, which resulted in the original owner and her children meeting very rarely over the years.
That is to say, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, Concubine Li would bring her child to pay her respects, and only then could she see the child. Once she wanted to keep the child in her palace for a few days, the emperor would try his best to dissuade her from doing so.
This resulted in the children being very unfamiliar with their biological mother. When she asked to take the children back to his side, the emperor confined her to her home. When she tried every means to secretly run to see the children, she was stabbed in the heart by the most vicious words from her three grown-up and sensible children.
Several children said that they hated her. In their hearts, Concubine Li was their mother. They asked her to stay away from them in the future and not think that just because she gave birth to them, she could use filial piety to force them to do anything.
The children's words completely broke the original owner's spirit. Because the original owner secretly ran away, the emperor was very angry. Not only did he make Concubine Li the Imperial Concubine, he also moved the original owner to a remote palace and imprisoned her. He gave the Kunluan Palace that belonged to the queen to Concubine Li.
In fact, if the original owner had not given birth to several children, the emperor would definitely have deposed the queen and made Concubine Li the queen.
After the original owner was imprisoned, her life was miserable, but she still held on and lived for a few more years. If Concubine Li had not brought several children to attack her later, the original owner would probably have lived a few more years.
As for why the original owner was holding on to her last breath, it was because she couldn't let go of her children. However, she didn't expect that when Concubine Li brought the children to see her, the six children all scolded her for not dying quickly and leaving the position of queen for their mother.
The mother that the children were talking about was naturally Concubine Li. The reason why Concubine Li brought the children to provoke the original owner was naturally because several years had passed and the original owner still refused to die, so Concubine Li could not wait any longer.
Although she was already a royal concubine at that time, who would want to be a royal concubine when they could be the queen?
As long as there are a few children, the emperor will not be able to depose the queen, so naturally the original owner must die quickly to vacate the position of queen.
The original owner was angered to death by the words of the children. Before she died, she really hated her own naivety and stupidity, but there is no medicine for regret in this world.
As for the original owner's wish, it was naturally for revenge, and she didn't plan to have any more children.
Although the original owner knew very well that she, as a mother, had to take a great responsibility for the children becoming like that, because she was so foolish as to send the children to Concubine Li, the children hated her as their biological mother. That was naturally because they had been deliberately taught that since childhood.
But so what?
In short, the original owner couldn't get over what the children had done to her, so she didn't want to give birth to them again.
"The Queen's belly looks a little bigger," Concubine Su smiled as she sat down, looking at Jiang Chunxi's belly, "and seeing that the Queen's belly is pointed, it must be a little prince. The Emperor will surely get what he wants."
"Then I'll ask Concubine Su for her good words," Jiang Chunxi smiled very gently while stroking her belly, "The Emperor also said that this palace's belly looks like a prince's. Today, he will ask the Emperor's imperial physician to feel my pulse. After all, this palace's belly is already five months old, so he can feel the pulse and tell whether it's a boy or a girl."
"The Empress is so blessed," Concubine Yi spoke first, and her tone was so sour, "The Empress is the only concubine in the entire harem who is pregnant. Unlike me, I have drunk so many pregnancy-preserving medicines since I married the Emperor, but there is no movement in my stomach at all."
"Could it be that the Queen used some secret recipe for having a baby?" This was the voice of a little concubine, and the reason why this concubine said this was naturally because someone had instructed her to do so.
As the little maid's voice fell, everyone immediately looked at Jiang Chunxi with burning eyes. Even Concubine Li, who had always had a calm expression, could no longer maintain her composure.
After all, which woman in the harem doesn’t want a child?
"If I had any secret recipe for having a child, I wouldn't have married the emperor for so many years before I got pregnant," Jiang Chunxi was not at all flustered in the face of the concubines' burning eyes, "It's okay for other people, but Concubine Li, Concubine Yi, Concubine Su, why do you think I took the secret recipe for having a child?"
"You are all old people who serve the emperor. Am I the kind of person who can keep secrets? If there is really a secret recipe for having a child, even if I don't tell you, can I not tell the emperor?"
"And if you tell the emperor, will he not allow you to take the secret recipe for having a child?"
"That's true," Concubine Yi said with a disappointed look on her face, "We have been sisters for many years, how could I not know what the Queen's personality is like?"
Although Concubine Yi was jealous of the Queen's favor, she did not have much ill will towards her. After all, the Queen was just a simple-minded fool, and having a fool like her as the Queen was better than having someone else as the Queen.
For example, Concubine Li...
After all, if there wasn't this fool Queen, Concubine Li would be the most likely person to become Queen.
"It seems that I was happy for nothing," Supin curled her lips and said, "I thought the queen had some secret recipe for having a child. I didn't expect that there is no such thing at all."
"Don't be too disappointed, Concubine Su," Jiang Chunxi said, "Perhaps my pregnancy is just the beginning. The emperor is destined to have children late, which is why we sisters have not been pregnant for so many years. Now that I, the queen, am pregnant, it means that the emperor is finally destined to have children."
"As long as you serve the emperor well, maybe there will be good news soon."
Jiang Chunxi's words made sense to the concubines present. Perhaps it was because the emperor was not able to have children late, which was why they could not get pregnant.
And now that the queen is pregnant, is it possible...
At this time, all the concubines secretly made up their minds to compete for favor.
A dark gleam flashed across Concubine Li's eyes.
She didn't really believe what the Queen said, but she couldn't help thinking that maybe what the Queen said was true.
in case……
Concubine Li lowered her eyes. If she could really get pregnant, she would never allow the Queen to give birth to the child.
Although the emperor said that he would find a way to give the child to the queen to raise after she gave birth to the child, but if the child is not his own, then it is not his own. If she could have her own child, how could Concubine Li be willing to raise the queen's child?
