Chapter 454 Northwest Development
This was another test from Emperor Jing of Wei to the Imperial Noble Consort. The Imperial Noble Consort remained neither humble nor overbearing, "Your Majesty, I think you are in your prime and strong, so there is no need to appoint a crown prince so early."
Emperor Jing of Wei nodded and said, "I'll leave the management of the harem to you. It really saves me a lot of trouble."
"It is my duty to share the emperor's worries."
As soon as the Imperial Concubine finished her answer, a palace servant came over and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Jian is here and is waiting for you in the Imperial Study."
"I forgot to summon Jian Suining. In that case, I will go to the imperial study first, and you guys enjoy the scenery." After saying that, Emperor Jing of Wei turned around and went to the imperial study.
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
As Emperor Jing of Wei looked away, Concubine Yuan said sarcastically, "When the Imperial Noble Concubine gets ruthless, she doesn't even let me and the Fifth Prince go."
The Imperial Concubine looked at Concubine Yuan and said, "Concubine Yuan, ever since you entered the palace, I have always kept my distance from you and never provoked you. But you have repeatedly extended your hand to me. Do you think I am weak and can be bullied, so you are unscrupulous?"
Concubine Yuan looked at the Imperial Concubine with a rare look of discomfort on her face.
"You bribed Cai Que and wanted her to alienate me and Si Yi. If you cross my bottom line, I will make you miss the thing you want most."
The throne of empress and the throne of crown prince are what Concubine Yuan wants now, but the Imperial Noble Concubine changed his mind with just a few words in front of Emperor Jing of Wei. How could Concubine Yuan not be angry?
"I have prepared a gift for you, Concubine Yuan. You can see it when you enter the palace." The Imperial Concubine smiled slightly. "If you and your sister still want to pester me like this, I will definitely not let you down."
Naturally, the Imperial Noble Consort would not accompany Concubine Yuan to enjoy the scenery here, and she left after saying this.
Watching the Royal Concubine leaving, Concubine Yuan was so angry that she couldn't say a word. In the end, she could only utter two words: "勤宫!"
After the wedding, Concubine Yuan received the box sent by the Imperial Concubine. She opened it in anger and found a tongue inside the box.
Concubine Yuan was so frightened that she closed the box immediately and said, "Take it out and burn it."
"Yes." The palace maid did not dare to disobey Concubine Yuan's order and immediately took the box and went downstairs.
After Concubine Yuan calmed down, she asked, "What happened in the palace of the Imperial Concubine?"
"I heard that it was a maid who served the Imperial Concubine. She seemed to have violated some taboo, so the Imperial Concubine pulled out her tongue. She was still alive, but was dragged to the Xinzheku." The maid sighed again, "The Imperial Concubine has never treated anyone like this before. I don't know what mistake this maid made."
Concubine Yuan now knew whose tongue Noble Concubine Wu sent her. It was obviously Caique's.
The Imperial Concubine was really ruthless. If she didn't move, she would be in trouble. But this move caught me off guard and left me no room for maneuver.
Soon, Emperor Jing of Wei informed the former dynasty and the harem that no successor would be appointed within three years. As for the succession of the crown prince, a decision would be made after a few more years.
Upon hearing the news, Concubine Xiang immediately came to Concubine Yuan and asked, "Sister, what is the emperor's order?"
Concubine Yuan glared at her and said, "It's you who has been instigating us to deal with the Imperial Concubine all this time. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been cut off by the Imperial Concubine."
"So what should we do now? Do we have to wait another three years?"
In three years, there are too many variables, and this is not what they want to see.
"Apart from waiting, is there any other way?" Concubine Yuan was also a little troubled. "But now the emperor trusts us, at least everything is still under control. From now on, you are not allowed to provoke the Royal Concubine again. She is not someone you can easily mess with."
