"I'm afraid what Concubine Shi did is far more than that."
Magpie clapped her hands, and two nuns led an old acquaintance in. She lowered her head and let out a low laugh.
"Palace Maid Tong Jia, you insisted on seeing our empress in the cold palace. Now that the emperor is here, if you have any grievances, just tell the emperor!"
The appearance of Tong Jia caused Concubine Shi's expression to change instantly. The facial features of her crying face were distorted for a moment.
Tong Jia looked at Concubine Shi with eyes full of hatred: "Shi Yanlan, I don't think you are my best sister. How many times have I helped you after so many years in the palace? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been exposed back then. I was pregnant, but I was killed by that bitch, Concubine De. Did I blame you? "Why did you harm me like this?"
Shi Fei's eyes were full of guilt, but she didn't dare to confront Tong Jia: "What does it have to do with me? You are stupid, what have I done to you? Did I ask you to frame the Queen of Heaven? You have evil intentions. , don’t use me as your fig leaf.”
Tong Jia shed tears first: "I took my sincerity to be fed to the dogs. I was naive and thought that there was true love in this palace. It was indeed me who was stupid."
Then, she immediately stared again: "But at the beginning, I would find someone to expose the Queen of Heaven. Isn't it exactly what you said? Your uncle accidentally discovered that the Queen of Heaven had an affair with an actor. You asked me not to tell others. That's why I failed. I fell into the trap you set for me, didn’t I?”
Concubine Shi thought that the incident would end when Tong Jia was thrown into the cold palace, but she didn't know that Jiang Xinyue secretly had people investigate outside the palace.
Not long ago, it was found that those who testified were all bribed by the Shi family. It was Shi Jiabai who sent them to the Tong family and deliberately asked Tong Jia to expose them.
Jiang Xinyue immediately ordered someone to tell the truth to Tong Jia, who was struggling to survive in the cold palace. Only then did she realize that her best friend had lied to her.
"It's...it's you...I..."
"ah!"
The emperor kicked Concubine Shi away and said, "Poisonous woman, Yue'er is kind-hearted and amiable. Everyone in the palace praises her. With her taking care of the harem, I will have no worries in the past. What are you dissatisfied with?"
He was full of sarcasm and raised his lips indifferently: "You think that if something happens to Yue'er, I will make you the queen? I tell you, once something happens to Yue'er, I swear by my ancestors and emperors that my throne will always be vacant, and no one will ...will never become my queen again."
In a hundred years, Jiang Xinyue will be the only one who shares the same acupuncture point with him.
The weight of these words was like thousands of troops roaring past Shi Fei's heart. She half leaned on the ground and half raised her body: "You think... you think I want to kill Jiang Xinyue just because I want to be your queen. ?"
Concubine Shi cried and laughed at the same time: "Back then, the late emperor only had you as the only prince left. There were countless people from the Shen clan who coveted the throne. The late emperor intended to adopt several sons of the Shen clan as princes to compete with you for the throne. It was the Queen Mother herself. I went to Zhenbei General's Mansion to ask for marriage and said you would treat me well. My father disagreed because I was wishful thinking about you. I had to be your concubine. If you hadn't won the first queen, the concubine Li, and our Shi With the support of the Wu family and the poor settlement of the Wu family, can you secure the throne? "
"None of them are stupid. I am the only one who is stupid. When I can ask for power, please love me. After seeing your true face, I want to ask for power again, but there are more and more concubines in the palace. Yue Mei, I missed the opportunity a long time ago. Originally, I thought that everyone is the same and can’t get your love, so it’s not bad to spend this life peacefully.”
"But...but why are you so partial to Jiang Xinyue? Apart from her face, what else is good about her? Is she magnanimous as the late empress? Is Concubine Li a member of a distinguished family? Do I love you so much and help you unconditionally? She There is nothing, why did you want to kill the late queen? Why her?"
The late Queen...was killed by the Emperor?
Tong Jia's mouth trembled as if she had heard some unknown secret.
Shi Yanlan...
She even knew this kind of thing, but she didn't tell her. It turned out that she really never considered herself a friend.
The emperor frowned fiercely, but Concubine Shi stood up unsteadily: "It's okay now, this bitch Jiang Xinyue is going to die, you have betrayed my sincerity, and you deserve not to be able to get the woman you love most, die well!" She died well! Hahahaha..."
If Jiang Xinyue, a bitch, wasn't about to die, she wouldn't have been able to kill the emperor like this.
She seemed to want to vent all her resentment over the years: "Is Jiang Xinyue kind-hearted? Which of the concubines who entered the palace were vicious when they first entered the palace? It was the concubines at the bottom of your harem who were worshiped and suppressed, and the concubines at the bottom were bullied. , What’s wrong with us being bad? It’s you who chose these women to enter the palace, but you let us waste time in the palace, and you want to wish you a happy marriage with other women for a hundred years. Then what are we? ? Your background board?”
"What concept are you secretly changing?"
Jiang Xinyue couldn't stand listening anymore, so she lifted up the quilt and got out of bed: "It is your own choice to enter the palace. If you really don't want to enter the palace, you can pretend to be ill, make an appointment in advance, or try to find ways to make yourself unsuccessful during the selection process. How can the emperor still put it into the palace?" A knife is held on your neck to threaten you into entering the palace? Is it unfair to the emperor to blame all the mistakes on him when he wants to have a better future? "
Although she also felt in her heart that this damn feudal society had buried too many women's lives, but the society was like this, so no one could blame it!
If this were in later generations, any man who dared to marry so many wives would be punished by social laws without a woman taking action.
But this is not the case. This is an era when polygamy is not illegal. It is a feudal dynasty under the rule of imperial power.
Wealthy people can have one wife and two concubines, let alone an emperor?
Jiang Xinyue is not a double standard. Even if she wants the emperor to favor her alone, she must use all means to make him fall in love with her. Otherwise, she herself feels, why should the emperor be devoted to her?
It can only be said that she will not let herself become a resentful woman who feels sorry for herself. She will try her best to get everything she wants without actively harming others.
If she really can't get it, then she won't ask for it, she will guard her own one-third of an acre of land and try her best to make her life easier.
"you you……"
Shi Fei took a few steps back and asked in a sharp voice, "Are you not dead?"
"Sorry, I won't die even if you die."
Magpie and Shuangsheng stepped forward one by one to change Jiang Xinyue's clothes and put a black phoenix robe on her.
As soon as the scornful aura came out, Shi Fei was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she still held on: "You... you are all pretending, you are not poisoned at all, are you?"
That's not true. After walking through the door of the King of Hell, she found that she couldn't go back and was tied up with her child, so she chose to come back again.
The emperor had better be nice to her, otherwise...
