Chapter 282 The World of Mad Men and Mad Women 28
Concubine Xian was so angry that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Now that's good, everyone returned to the Queen's Palace.
When the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau was taking Concubine Xian's pulse, the emperor learned the news and immediately went to the Queen's palace after the court session.
"What on earth is going on? Why did Concubine Xian faint?" The emperor said with a dark face as he entered the Queen's Palace:
Jiang Chunxi rolled her eyes in her heart.
Look! This is the Crazy Prince. Although he already hates Concubine Xian, once something happens to Concubine Xian, he will immediately feel distressed.
"It was I who beat Concubine Xian, and that's why she fainted. If His Majesty wants to vent her anger on Concubine Xian, then just depose me and send me directly to the cold palace!" As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi cried with grievance, "Your Majesty said last night that if Concubine Xian bullied me today, I could fight back. But now that His Majesty heard that Concubine Xian fainted, he felt sorry for her again."
"Wow, I shouldn't have believed the emperor's words, nor should I have worshipped him as a god in my heart. How can a person of humble status like me compare to Concubine Xian? It turns out that the emperor only loves Concubine Xian the most in his heart, and I am just a toy for him to tease at will."
"You...you..." The emperor was really angry and distressed, "I haven't said anything yet, but you blame me first. It seems that I really spoiled you too much."
"Your Majesty, please stop saying such things," Jiang Chunxi looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, as if she was looking at a heartless man. "It is clear that the one your Majesty cares about most is Concubine Xian. How can I be considered a person of high status? How can I be blessed enough to be truly favored by your Majesty?"
"Although the emperor didn't say anything, your face was so dark when you came in. Anyone with eyesight can see that you are angry because of Concubine Xian's fainting. You feel that your beloved has been bullied. You came to the Queen's Palace to vent your anger for your beloved."
Jiang Chunxi's words were unanimously agreed upon by all the concubines.
I'm not here to vent Concubine Xian's anger, otherwise why would he have such a gloomy face? I really don't know if the Emperor has a cuckolding hobby, otherwise why would he still be so doting on Concubine Xian? Doesn't he really mind Concubine Xian cuckolding him?
But then again, if the emperor really minded that Concubine Xian was cheating on him, then Concubine Xian would not be still alive and well, and the guard named Gu would not have been sent to Concubine Xian's palace to be taken care of by Concubine Xian after being castrated.
Tsk tsk! I never thought that the emperor had a hobby of wearing green hats. Anyway, the emperor's filter was shattered again in front of these concubines.
Take Concubine Rong for example! Why does Concubine Rong look at the emperor's face with such disgust? It's just like she hates Concubine Xian.
"Your Majesty," the Queen said, "As the Queen, I should not be partial to you, but I feel sorry for Guigui. Concubine Xian has been throwing dirty water on Guigui until today, insisting that Guigui and Gu Yansen have an ambiguous relationship. In order to protect your Majesty's reputation, Guigui did argue with Concubine Xian for a few words."
"But Concubine Xian was so good. After she greeted me and left my palace, she still didn't let Gui Zhengui go. In front of so many servants at the gate of my palace, she still wanted to prove that Gui Zhengui had an unclear relationship with that Gu Yansen. Gui Zheng was so angry that he beat Concubine Xian. After all, Concubine Xian doesn't care about the emperor's reputation, but Gui Zheng is very keen to protect the emperor's reputation."
"Your Majesty, I can testify that what the Queen said is true." Concubine Rong said quickly:
"Your Majesty, I can also testify." Concubine Hui also spoke up:
As Concubine Hui finished speaking, the other concubines also spoke up to testify, which made the emperor's face even darker.
But his dark face at this time was directed at Concubine Xian.
At this moment, the imperial physician came out from the inner room.
"Doctor Ling, how is Concubine Xian? Is she okay?" The Queen looked at the doctor and asked:
"Empress, Concubine Xian is pregnant, so she fainted in a fit of rage. She will be fine after taking two doses of pregnancy-preserving medicine."
The imperial physician's words stunned everyone.
Concubine Xian is pregnant. Concubine Xian is actually pregnant.
"Haha!" The emperor laughed heartily after recovering from his shock, "Great, great, this is really great, I finally hope that Concubine Xian is pregnant."
The queen had to work hard not to lose control: "Doctor Ling, how many months has Concubine Xian been pregnant?"
"Just over two months." Doctor Ling replied.
"Your Majesty, don't be too happy too soon," Jiang Chunxi said, pouring cold water on the emperor. "Have you forgotten about Gu Yansen? You know, Gu Yansen hadn't been castrated two months ago."
"Humph!" Jiang Chunxi snorted disdainfully, "Your Majesty, why don't you think about why Concubine Xian has not been able to conceive for so many years, but when she had an affair with a guard, she got pregnant as she wished."
The queen's eyes suddenly lit up, and she gave Jiang Chunxi a satisfied look, but what she said was: "You can't talk nonsense about precious people, how can you talk nonsense about the royal heir."
"Empress, I think what the precious person said is not nonsense," said Concubine Rong, "Princess Xian has been married to the emperor for twelve years! After the three years in the cold palace, Concubine Xian has always been the most favored, but there is no movement in her belly."
"But when her affair with a guard was exposed, Concubine Xian got pregnant as she wished. If you say there is no trick, I don't believe it."
Concubine Hui: "Yes! Queen, I also feel that Concubine Xian's pregnancy is abnormal. If we don't take it seriously, I'm afraid the bloodline of the royal heir will be mixed up. By then, will my second prince be treated as a bastard brother?"
"Shut up, everyone," the emperor said angrily, "all of you go back."
Since the emperor was angry, the concubines naturally did not dare to stay any longer and left quickly. Even Doctor Ling took the opportunity to leave, otherwise who knows if he would be the one who would be unlucky in the end. After all, it was he who diagnosed that Concubine Xian was pregnant.
But then again, could it be that the child in Concubine Xian's belly is really a bastard?
Imperial Doctor Ling didn't dare to think about it any further. This kind of thing was not something that a royal doctor like him could be curious about.
After everyone left, Jiang Chunxi showed no intention of leaving.
"Why don't you leave?" The emperor looked at Jiang Chunxi with a headache and softened his tone, "Okay, you should also hurry back to your Luanming Palace, and don't let me get really angry with you."
"I won't leave," Jiang Chunxi said stubbornly, "I want to go and ask Concubine Xian whose child she is carrying. If I don't figure this out, I won't feel at ease. Going back will only make me feel uneasy. That's why I won't leave."
