Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 291 The World of Mad Men and Mad Women 37

When Jiang Chunxi heard the emperor say this, she naturally followed the emperor.

As everyone watched Jiang Chunxi leave with the emperor, they did not feel jealous. After all, Concubine Zhen had been very favored over the years. No matter how jealous they were, it was useless. It would only make them feel bad.

Of course, Concubine Rong, who had long since stopped caring about the emperor's favor, was not only not jealous, but also angry that the emperor took Jiang Chunxi away. She had originally thought that after visiting the eldest prince, she would go for a walk in the Imperial Garden with Jiang Chunxi. But she didn't expect that the emperor would actually call Jiang Chunxi away.

As for Concubine Hui, she cared even less. All she was thinking about now was how her son could fight for that position. She wouldn't care about the emperor's favor at all.

However, Zhenfei did have a son. Although Zhenfei's family background was poor and her son had little chance of winning that position, no one could guarantee who would get the position until the final step.

Concubine Hui’s eyes darkened.

It seems that she needs to pay more attention to Concubine Zhen in the future, and avoid fighting with others to the death, only to let Concubine Zhen reap the benefits in the end.

After Jiang Chunxi and the emperor arrived at the Taiji Hall, she massaged the emperor's head attentively: "Your Majesty, I believe that the eldest prince is a lucky person and will recover soon. You don't have to worry too much."

"With a mother like the Queen, even if the eldest prince has a body of iron, he can't stand the Queen's torture," the emperor said tiredly, "I just can't understand it. My body has not shown any signs of decline. What is the Queen so anxious about?"

"She is so anxious to have her son sit on my throne that she is forcing him to death. I think she is crazy."

Ever since the Emperor learned how the Empress forced her son to study hard in private, he had been very annoyed with her. Especially in the past two years, the eldest prince was always sick. While the Emperor felt sorry for his son, he was even more disgusted with what the Empress did.

The emperor had talked to the queen and scolded her before, but the queen always turned a deaf ear to his words and never listened to them.

It is precisely because of this that the Emperor did not give the Empress any face today. He knew that there were so many people outside, so he deliberately scolded the Empress.

The emperor can only hope that the queen will come to her senses this time. Otherwise, he can only use tough measures to prevent the queen from contacting the eldest prince.

Jiang Chunxi didn't know what to say to the emperor, so she could only gently massage the emperor's head.

Moreover, she could see that the emperor didn't want her to agree with anything, he just needed someone to talk to, so the emperor kept on nagging a lot, and Jiang Chunxi just did what a loyal listener should do, and didn't say a word that shouldn't be said.

But what Jiang Chunxi didn't expect was that the eldest prince suddenly had a high fever that night. No matter how hard the imperial physician tried to treat him, he still couldn't save his life.

One can imagine how much of a blow the death of her son was to the queen, and at this time the queen finally realized how outrageous her behavior was and how cruel she was in forcing her son.

What did this mean? It meant that she, as a mother, had killed her own son with her own hands. This realization hit the queen even harder. Her body and spirit collapsed, and she died within two years.

Now that the queen is dead, the throne will be left vacant. Those who are qualified to compete for the throne will start fighting openly and secretly.

Of course, the Imperial Concubine and Jiang Chunxi did not get involved. The Imperial Concubine simply felt that she was not fit to be the Queen, so naturally she would not argue about anything.

Jiang Chunxi was very clear that given her background, no matter how much the emperor doted on her, he would never let her become the queen, so naturally she would not interfere.

But what was unexpected was that in the end, it was the two of them who got the upper hand. Concubine Rong was named Imperial Concubine, and Jiang Chunxi was named Concubine.

Of course, Huifei was also conferred the title of noble concubine, and even the palace power was divided into three parts by the emperor, and the three of them jointly managed the palace power.

From this we can see that the emperor began to implement the art of balance in the harem. When the empress was around, it was naturally difficult for the emperor to divide the palace power among others. But now that the empress is gone, and Concubine Rong has only been promoted to Imperial Concubine, then if the emperor wants to divide the palace power into several parts, it is naturally up to the emperor to say.

However, it can also be seen from this that the emperor does not intend to appoint another queen.

When Jiang Chunxi's son was six years old, Concubine Xian finally couldn't hold on and died. Before she died, she was still clamoring to see Jiang Chunxi, but Jiang Chunxi was too lazy to see her, so Concubine Xian died with her eyes wide open.

On the day after Concubine Xian died, Concubine Cao, who was imprisoned in the cold palace, also died. Someone revealed Concubine Xian's death to Concubine Cao. After all, as a dog beside Concubine Xian, there must be someone who still remembers Concubine Cao?

So when Concubine Xian died, shouldn't Concubine Xian's dog go to accompany Concubine Xian? Anyway, after Concubine Cao heard the news of Concubine Xian's death, she immediately hanged herself with a rope the next day and followed her sister.

The emperor of this world is a long-lived person, which is something Jiang Chunxi never expected. It's not that she didn't think about taking action against the emperor, but the emperor has always been very good to her over the years. Even though she is old and ugly, the emperor is still very good to her.

So Jiang Chunxi felt embarrassed to take action against the emperor. After all, the emperor was not as perverted as other emperors. He was very afraid of his grown-up sons and would not wait until his sons killed each other.

So when her son was forty years old, Jiang Chunxi simply gave up the idea.

Forget it, just let it go! After all, Jiang Chunxi has been fighting with others for so many years and it is quite tiring. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. She is now a grandmother. If her son wants to fight for that position, let him fight for it himself!

But what Jiang Chunxi didn't expect was that even though she didn't want to fight anymore, Eunuch Qin actually gave her a big one.

It goes without saying that the son born to Jiang Chunxi was very capable. After years of observation, the emperor decided to pass the throne to Jiang Chunxi's son, so he wrote an edict to be issued after his death.

As the chief steward of the imperial court, Eunuch Qin naturally knew to whom the emperor had written the edict to pass the throne. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Eunuch Qin secretly poisoned the emperor.

There was no other way. The emperor was too long-lived, so Eunuch Qin had to take the risk. After all, Jiang Chunxi was Eunuch Qin's sweetheart. After Jiang Chunxi's son grew up and entered the court, Eunuch Qin became ambitious to have Jiang Chunxi take the position of empress dowager.

So half a year after the emperor wrote the edict, he passed away.

Then Jiang Chunxi's son succeeded to the throne, and the empress dowager also died a few days after the emperor's death.

In fact, the empress dowager knew the real cause of the emperor's death. After all, in this palace, as long as the empress dowager really wanted to find out something, there was nothing she couldn't find out.

But so what?

The Queen Mother had long given up her feelings for her son. In a sense, she even hated her son deep in her heart. Although she couldn't do anything to her son, she wouldn't stop others from doing it to her son.
