Chapter 421 The Tragic Queen 9
When Concubine Li received the news that she was demoted to a concubine and confined to her house for half a year, she was almost mad with rage. She clamored to see the Emperor and was not willing to accept the imperial edict at all.
The emperor naturally didn't want to see Concubine Li at this time, so Jiang Chunxi came to Concubine Li's palace.
"Empress, you slandered me like this, causing the Emperor to question me," Imperial Concubine Li looked at Jiang Chunxi angrily, "so I just can't understand why the Empress dared to come to see me. Looking at me like this now, don't you feel guilty?"
"Why should I feel guilty?" Jiang Chunxi said slowly as she sat down. "This is just the beginning. I have nothing to feel guilty about. After all, at least you are still Lipin now, and you don't look crazy."
Jiang Chunxi gave a mocking smile and looked at Concubine Li: "So why should I feel guilty? Even if I really feel guilty, I will beat you to death. Then maybe I will feel guilty."
At this time, only Jiang Chunxi and Concubine Li were in the hall. When Jiang Chunxi came in, she sent all the servants away.
"Lipin, it must be hard to bear the blame for others!" Jiang Chunxi continued, "Especially for me. I believe it must be even harder for Lipin. After all, you, Lipin, have never taken me seriously. You always thought I was stupid and was played around by you and the emperor."
Concubine Li's pupils widened as she looked at Jiang Chunxi in disbelief: "It's you. The murderer behind the scenes turned out to be you. How did you do it? I don't believe you have the ability to do things so perfectly."
Just as Jiang Chunxi said, Concubine Li had never taken the Queen seriously, so knowing that the Queen was the murderer behind the scenes made Concubine Li psychologically defenseless. It was as if a bug that she had always despised suddenly turned into a poisonous snake and bit her back. How could Concubine Li, who always thought highly of herself, accept this?
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi laughed. "High-end hunters often present themselves as prey. When Lipin and the Emperor were so proud of treating me like a fool, didn't they know that you two were actually my prey?"
"Okay, okay, it's really good," Concubine Li laughed out of anger, "The Queen is really capable, but I still don't understand one thing, could it be that the child in the Queen's belly was also a trap set by the Queen?"
If this is true, then the queen is too scary. The most important thing is how the queen planned everything and how she gained connections in the palace.
"Of course it's me," the Queen sneered, "When the Emperor planned to wait for me to give birth to the child, he would trick me into giving the child to your Imperial Concubine Li to raise. So I decided not to give birth to the child and decided to use the child in my belly to plot against your Imperial Concubine Li."
"What's even more interesting is that the concubines in the harem are getting pregnant one after another," Jiang Chunxi laughed heartily, "Haha! If I can't give birth to the child in my belly, then why can others give birth to children? It would be even faster to use the dragon fetuses in their bellies to continue to throw dirty water on you."
"Look at you, you and the emperor have already fallen out. It's only a matter of time before you fall out of favor. I am so happy to see you end up like this. After all, you, Lipin, are now a vicious woman that everyone in the harem wants to kill."
Jiang Chunxi put away the smile on her face and sighed, "But you, Lipin, are really lucky! Until now, the emperor is still reluctant to abandon you. Of course, it would be boring to beat you to death with a stick. This palace can lose anyone but you, Lipin. Otherwise, wouldn't this harem be extremely boring?"
"Empress, aren't you afraid that I will tell the Emperor?" Concubine Li was so angry that her expression became ferocious.
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi laughed again, "Then go tell the emperor! Do you think the emperor will believe you? In the emperor's heart, I am a simple and stupid woman. Instead of letting the emperor believe that I am a vicious person, it is better to let the emperor believe that red rain will fall from the sky."
"You are amazing, you are powerful, I, Yu Yuesong, really have to admit defeat to you." Concubine Li said these words while gritting her teeth. At this moment, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
"Thank you for the compliment. I am really happy to have Concubine Li praise me so much," Jiang Chunxi said. "By the way, if someone else gets pregnant again and the child can't be kept, do you think the emperor will just demote you and ban you from traveling?"
"I am looking forward to it very much. Let's wait and see how important you, the woman who is the most beloved in the emperor's heart, are to him!" Jiang Chunxi stood up, "But for now, Imperial Concubine Li should be confined to her house. Don't worry, I will not send anyone to guard outside your palace. You can communicate with the emperor at any time."
"To be honest, I'm actually looking forward to you writing to tell the emperor that I'm the venomous snake that harmed the emperor's heir. I want to see whether the emperor believes you or whether the character I've played over the years has penetrated into his heart."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Chunxi glanced at Concubine Li with contempt, then walked out.
Concubine Li felt a bloody taste in her throat.
This is too much. This is too much.
The Queen, this vicious woman, has gone too far.
Of course, Concubine Li did not write a letter to the emperor as Jiang Chunxi wished, because she knew very well that even if she wrote a letter to tell the emperor the true identity of the queen, it would be useless. The emperor would never believe it. Instead, he would think she was unreasonable and would say anything absurd to frame the queen.
As for the concubines in the harem, they were naturally dissatisfied with the punishment of Concubine Li, but the emperor had already issued an edict, so it was useless for them to express their dissatisfaction.
Of course, at the same time, everyone is more certain that Concubine Li is really the apple of the emperor's eye. Didn't the emperor bear to punish Concubine Li severely even though she killed so many royal heirs? He only demoted Concubine Li and confined her to her house. What's the difference between this and tickling?
After all, if one wants to be promoted to a higher position, it is just a matter of a word from the emperor. As for house arrest, that is even more ridiculous. The emperor may have confined Concubine Li to her house at this time just to protect her.
Half a year passed in a flash, and just on the day when Concubine Li was released from house arrest, someone in the harem finally became pregnant again.
When Concubine Li heard the news, it was impossible for her not to feel fear in her heart. She was even afraid to step out of the door of her palace.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Chun Xiao said worriedly, "If Concubine Xin is rumored to be pregnant at this time, wouldn't that be a perfect opportunity for the Queen to frame you again?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you tell the Emperor the true identity of the Empress!" Xia Jing said worriedly, "You can't just sit there and wait for the Empress to frame you!"
