Chapter 40 The Heartless and Heirless Cruel Emperor



After Liu Yan learned about this, she took her nurse to Madam Jiang's courtyard...

The wet nurse strangled Madam Jiang to death with a rope, and then pretended that she had hanged herself. After doing all this, Liu Yan cried and told Jiang Zhen the news that Madam Jiang had hanged herself.

Jiang Zhen didn't even frown, just let Liu Yan handle it herself!

After reading the letter, Jiang Zhili burned the paper.

She was a little surprised. She didn't expect Liu Yan to be so decisive and take care of Mrs. Jiang on the day Jiang Luoyu died.

His wrist is as strong as iron!

Now that Liu Yan has such a skill, the original body can rest assured...

Watching the flame of the letter paper go out and turn into ashes, Xiaotao asked Jiang Zhili.

"My Lady, would you like to have the meal served?"

Your Majesty hasn't had dinner tonight yet.

Jiang Zhili glanced at the dark sky and nodded, "Serve the meal."

She's not hungry, she still has five mouths to feed.

Xiao Tao responded and went out of the hall to serve the meal.

As she was about to walk out of the palace gate, Xiao Tao met Eunuch Li who was guarding outside the door.

"Xiaotao, Xiaotao," Eunuch Li called Xiaotao over.

Xiao Tao looked puzzled: "Eunuch Li came here, but what's the matter?"

Eunuch Li pulled Xiao Tao to a corner. He glanced toward the main hall and then spoke, "How is Concubine Yi?"

Xiao Tao was puzzled: "My queen is fine, what's wrong?"

"Let Her Majesty have dinner at the Qinzheng Hall tonight. His Majesty must be thinking of Her Majesty," Eunuch Li said with a worried look on his face.

If he doesn't go now, His Majesty will freeze the entire Qinzheng Palace into ice! He is working there, and he is always worried about his head being in danger...

Xiao Tao shook her head repeatedly: "I can't be the queen's master. I'm just a servant. Besides, our queen has her own plans, and there's no need for me to interfere."

The Empress had specifically told her about this before.

Eunuch Li quickly made amends: "Xiao Tao, you don't have to make the decision, you don't have to make the decision, just tell the queen that the emperor is thinking of her...

Just consider it as helping a humble servant like me. If the master is unhappy, we servants will also have a hard time."

Xiao Tao was deeply touched by what Eunuch Li said. She thought for a moment and said, "I will only mention it briefly in front of the Empress. Don't hold your hopes too high."

"Oh, okay, thank you very much, Xiaotao," Eunuch Li's eyes lit up, he thanked repeatedly, and then quickly walked into the night.

He sneaked out under the pretext of going to the bathroom, so he had to go back quickly.

*****

Xiaotao quickly brought up the dinner.

The dinner was very sumptuous, with fish, meat, chicken, duck, lamb, and beef...

There are also nourishing supplements specially sent from the Cining Palace.

Jiang Zhili had a big appetite and ate two bowls of rice in a row.

Xiao Tao stood aside and spoke carefully, "I just met Eunuch Li. He said that His Majesty is in the Qinzheng Palace and is feeling depressed. He is thinking about the Empress."

Jiang Zhili paused with her chopsticks in her hand, and raised the corners of her narrow eyes slightly: "When I find a new person to enter the palace, His Majesty will be happy."

Pei Lin was not thinking about her.

Pei Lin was angry because she rejected him. If she went over there now, wouldn't she be walking into trouble?

After the newcomer enters the palace and diverts Pei Lin's attention, she will go there again, and Pei Lin's anger will naturally be relieved.

Xiaotao nodded heavily and said nothing more.

She didn't expect that the Queen actually wanted to select new people, but since the Queen was pregnant with the dragon seed, it was quite normal for her to find some new people to enter the palace.

After the master and servant finished their conversation, Jiang Zhili continued to eat hard.

In recent days, her stomach has required more and more nutrition, and her appetite has also increased. However, her figure has not changed much, and her belly has not grown very large like that of an ordinary pregnant woman with multiple babies.

This is all thanks to the system. A mother carrying multiple babies will suffer a lot of pain and torture, but her body has been modified. No matter how many babies she carries, her belly will only be slightly bigger than that of one baby.

Jiang Zhili was enjoying the meal, but Pei Lin was just the opposite.

Pei Lin was sitting at the table at this time. Two-thirds of the dishes on the table were prepared according to Jiang Zhili's preferences. He only took a look at them and thought of that cruel man in his heart!

She hasn't come to look for me all day until now.

He had been restless all day, and seemed to have no interest in anything, as if he was sick...

I felt depressed, but not as painful as I felt last night when I returned to the Qianqing Palace. However, I still felt pain from time to time.

If he didn't know what the disease was, he would have summoned the imperial physician long ago.

Pei Lin picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of duck meat and put it into his mouth.

The meat is dry and tough, like chewing wax. The cooking skills of the imperial kitchen are getting worse and worse...

At this time, Eunuch Li retreated from outside the hall.

Pei Lin spat out the duck meat in his mouth, and his cold words were tinged with a subtle expectation: "Tell me, where did you go?"

He had noticed that Eunuch Li had sneaked out a long time ago, and he could also guess why Eunuch Li had left.

Eunuch Li shuddered and knelt down. "Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me. I deserve to die. I just went to the toilet and passed by the Qingshu Palace when I happened to meet Xiaotao. I talked to Xiaotao for a while, which is why I was delayed..."

Pei Lin's dark eyes flickered slightly: "Oh? But what did you say?"

"Xiao Tao told me that the queen was affected by the rumors in the palace and was angry all day long," Eunuch Li said carefully.

Pei Lin murmured: "Rumors..."
