Chapter 429 The Tragic Queen
After Li Da Ying died, no concubine in the harem became pregnant. It was not until the emperor was 40 years old that Jiang Chunxi finally became pregnant again.
Jiang Chunxi was pregnant again, and this time the emperor was so happy that he fainted.
God bless him, he must be going crazy wanting to have a child, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy that he fainted.
The emperor really values the baby in Jiang Chunxi's belly as much as his life!
That was all-round protection for Jiang Chunxi, and Jiang Chunxi did not disappoint the emperor. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a prince for the emperor, who was named crown prince when he was one month old.
Of course, Jiang Chunxi’s child was definitely not the emperor’s. Instead, Jiang Chunxi went through years of selection and found a guard to borrow her seed. Afterwards, she gave the guard a pill to make him forget about it.
After all, Jiang Chunxi only wanted to borrow sperm and didn't want to leave any hidden dangers, so it was better not to let the other party know about the child.
When the child was twelve years old, the emperor's health deteriorated.
This was not Jiang Chunxi's fault, but the emperor himself was short-lived.
Fortunately, Jiang Chunxi's son was smart and showed the qualities of an emperor at a young age. In addition, with Jiang Chunxi around and the various backup plans left for him by the emperor, he did not have to worry about being overthrown by court ministers after he ascended the throne at such a young age.
It is worth mentioning here that the emperor also died with his eyes open, because when he took his last breath, Jiang Chunxi told him that she was the vicious woman who harmed the royal heir, and Li Da Ying was just an innocent person who took the blame for her.
Also, the reason why none of the concubines in the harem got pregnant later was because of her.
Originally, Jiang Chunxi wanted to tell the emperor that the prince was not his child at all, but before she could say anything, the emperor died with his eyes open.
Why would Jiang Chunxi do this? After all, she had never done this before. Even if she was sure of winning, she would never want to expose what she had done just for the sake of momentary pleasure.
Of course, that was because Jiang Chunxi felt that the original owner's soul required her to do so. As a queen, being played like a fool by the emperor and his concubine was more than just hatred for the original owner, otherwise she would not have asked Jiang Chunxi to abort the baby in her belly.
So whether it was Yuesong or the Dog Emperor, Jiang Chunxi let them die clearly, so that they could see clearly who was the fool and who was the hunter.
It's just a pity! There was no time to let the dog emperor know that the prince was not his own.

"Madam Jiang, this is the contraceptive soup given by the Marquis. Drink it while it's hot!"
Jiang Chunxi looked at the nanny's disdainful eyes and said nothing more. She directly took the contraceptive soup and drank it in one gulp.
This time she was wearing the clothes of a noble concubine of Marquis Jingnan, who had just entered the mansion yesterday.
The original owner was the daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan. In this world, businessmen are considered to be of low status, although the Jiang family is the richest family in Jiangnan and has enormous wealth.
But it is also because of this that I want to find a backer for the family. Otherwise, if someone targets them one day, at best the family property will be lost, and at worst the lives of the whole family may be in danger.
So when he saw that his eldest daughter had grown up to be so beautiful, Jiang's father planned to offer his daughter to a powerful figure as a concubine. When the original owner came of age, Marquis Jingnan happened to be ordered to go to Jiangnan to handle a case. Jiang's father used various connections to offer his daughter to Marquis Jingnan, so the original owner married Marquis Jingnan as a concubine with a generous dowry.
The original owner did not hate her father, because she knew very well that if she did not marry a powerful man with her looks, it would probably bring disaster to her family, and even if she got married, her husband's family would not be able to protect her.
After all, as she was born into a merchant family, the original owner could only find someone of equal social status even if she wanted to marry. It was impossible for her to marry into a higher social class, because officials would never marry a woman of merchant family like her.
And it was such a coincidence that the original owner was 70% similar to the deceased wife of Marquis Jingnan. So when the original owner was brought before Marquis Jingnan, Marquis Jingnan, who was known for not caring about women, lost control. And the original owner became Marquis Jingnan's concubine because of her face that was 70% similar to his original wife.
Otherwise, according to her background, she was not qualified to be the noble concubine of Marquis Jingnan. At most, she could be a concubine.
Although Marquis Jingnan treated the original owner as a substitute, seriously speaking, Marquis Jingnan was still good to the original owner, except for not allowing the original owner to give birth to a child.
Although the original owner was sad, she did not hate Marquis Jingnan. As a concubine of a merchant family, she did not have the courage to hate anyone. Instead, she had to serve Marquis Jingnan more attentively so that he could protect her family more.
But there was someone who couldn't stand the original owner being favored, and that person was the step-wife of Marquis Jingnan, and she was also the younger sister of his original wife. The reason why Marquis Jingnan married her as his step-wife was mainly for the pair of children born to him by his original wife. After all, they were sisters, and he would probably treat the children left by his sister well.
On the surface, the woman was gentle and virtuous. Everyone in the Jingnan Marquis's mansion admired her. Even the two children left by Jingnan Marquis's original wife regarded her as their own mother.
When the original owner married into the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion, she always thought she was lucky to have met a kind-hearted mistress of the house. It was not until she was framed and had an affair with a servant that she saw the viciousness of that woman.
The reason why that woman framed her was, on the one hand, she was jealous of her favor, and on the other hand, she coveted the original owner's dowry, so she set up a trap to frame her.
Originally, the original owner had hoped that Marquis Jingnan would believe her, but after all, she didn't believe him, and Marquis Jingnan would not be able to see that she was framed.
But Marquis Jingnan disappointed her. Before Marquis Jingnan opened his mouth to execute the original owner, the original owner clearly saw the complexity in Marquis Jingnan's eyes and knew that Marquis Jingnan believed in her. However, he still chose to sacrifice the original owner and protect his step-wife. After all, husband and wife are one, and Marquis Jingnan would never expose his wife's dirty deeds for the sake of a concubine.
At that moment, the original owner was filled with hatred. He hated the cruelty and ruthlessness of Marquis Jingnan. Even if he kept a cat or a dog by his side for two years, he would have feelings for it, let alone a living person who he served wholeheartedly.
The original owner's wish was simple, which was to take revenge and have his children inherit everything in the Jingnan Marquis Mansion in the future.
After seeing Jiang Chunxi drink the medicine, the nanny looked at Jiang Chunxi with contempt and then walked away.
"Miss, how could the Marquis be so cruel to you? Offspring are especially important to women, but the Marquis doesn't even let you get pregnant." Zhiwei, the original owner's maid, felt so distressed for her young lady that she burst into tears.
"Why are you crying?" This was the voice of another maid, Zhixuan. "Don't you see what the situation is like now? If you cry like this, aren't you just making things difficult for the young lady and making her even more upset?"
