Chapter 31 The Queen Mother Saves Concubine Shu

"Your Majesty..." Madam Yang, who was a Buddhist, wanted to persuade him, saying that Buddhists should not be offended, but was stopped by Concubine Shu.

Don’t offend His Majesty even if you offend Buddha.

[Hahahaha, my Aye is so handsome! Love you~ Heart~]

Bei Jingchu stretched out her short little hand and crossed her thumb and index finger to make a heart shape.

The emperor subconsciously imitated and stretched out two fingers, then his face turned dark when he realized what he was doing.

In the waiting study, one could hear a pin drop, with only the baby's humming sounds.

Madam Yang knelt on the ground, the cold air reaching her knees.

But the emperor did not tell her to get up, and Madam Yang did not dare to get up on her own, so she had to wink at Concubine Shu.

Normally, Concubine Shu would not dare to speak rashly, but she touched her belly and the presence of the child gave her courage.

"Your Majesty, my mother hasn't gotten up yet."

"I know."

The emperor, who was busy reviewing memorials one by one, answered calmly.

Concubine Shu suddenly lost her temper and felt a little aggrieved.

Doesn't she know why His Majesty is targeting her mother? Isn't it because she thinks what her mother said is not good for the eldest princess?

It was obviously the eldest princess who killed her child first.

......

The two of them lived a miserable life, looking forward to the arrival of the eminent monk they had talked about.

As a result, the "high monk" knelt down tremblingly as soon as he entered, and kowtowed stutteringly: "Your humble servant, your humble servant pays homage to... pays homage to Your Majesty."

[Oh my god~ you are not a professional monk~]

Indeed, the monk was shaking like chaff in a sieve, with none of the demeanor of a great Taoist master.

"I heard from you that my eldest princess would bring bad luck to my unborn heir?"

After saying this, the monk kneeling below had an ugly expression, as if he was about to cry.

"This... poor monk... No, I see that this lady is dressed richly and her daughter is also married to a wealthy family."

"Every rich family has two children from concubines, so I just mentioned one at random."

"I just wanted to cheat them out of some money, thinking they would come to me with the money and do something to me."

"Who knew these two lunatics... No, who knew these two nobles would want to kill people!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Yang's eyes rolled back and she almost fainted.

Eunuch Jiang ordered the palace maid to pinch her philtrum hard, which made her wake up.

[It's so funny, I just wanted to cheat money, but these two idiots wanted to kill me first. 】

[As expected, no one can stop someone from committing suicide. 】

[This baby is lucky and has a long life. If it were someone else, their body would be frozen by now.]

The emperor thought it was right. If it were any other child, his body would have been cold as hell.

He would never tolerate anyone hitting a child.

Mrs. Yang, who finally came to her senses after being pinched hard on the Ren Zhong point, was shocked by the current situation.

Regardless of what happened, he cursed the monk with his mouth pinched red:

"You evil monk! You have caused us so much trouble!"

Murder Princess!

If the saying about bad luck is true, then there must be a reason for it.

Maybe a lighter sentence could be given.

But now this is absolutely not the way it will end.

The fake monk did not want to be accused of murdering the princess, so he retorted:

"I just want to cheat money, not kill anyone."

"Anyone with a bit of humanity would come to ask me what to do. Who would directly operate on a child?"

At this time, Xu Xinshu, who was summoned by the emperor, also arrived.

The emperor asked her, "Which temple is it that was said to bring bad luck to your husband and children?"

Thinking of that past event, Xu Xinshu now trembles subconsciously, but she answers truthfully: "Tianyu Temple."

The monk was a little confused at first. There was more than one monk in their Tianyu Temple who was cheating, so he didn't know about Xu Xinshu's situation.

But as soon as they heard the three words "Tianyu Temple", they knew that they had offended another nobleman.

How could I be so unlucky that I offended all the nobles?

As expected, the person sitting high up in the sky issued an order: "From today on, this kind of thing that harms people so much does not need to exist anymore."

Then have someone drag the deceiving monk away.

In fact, when the emperor heard Concubine Shu say that Chuchu was a bad omen, he thought about it for a moment.

What if this sentence did not come from the mouth of this charlatan, but from the imperial fortune teller?

Would he give up this child to protect the other children?

In the past, the emperor would definitely be determined to sacrifice his own family to protect the greater good.

But now he hesitated.

Alas, the children you raise are different after all.

Even though he is the emperor of iron and blood, he is also a kind-hearted person...

After asking the questions, Xu Xinshu also left. The only people left to be dealt with in the palace were Concubine Shu and Madam Yang.

Bei Jingchu knew that Concubine Shu was pregnant, and as long as the fetus was still there, the emperor would not punish her.

But if he lets Mrs. Yang off, Bei Jingchu feels that when she grows up, she will definitely pull out her bastard dad's oxygen tube!

No, there were no oxygen tubes in ancient times.

Then give him rat poison!

Humph.

Concubine Shu pleaded with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, my mother is also very concerned about protecting her grandson. I will definitely not do it again in the future."

"If she is punished, I will be sad and my child will be hurt too."

"I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and let my mother go this time."

The emperor hesitated for a moment, thinking that perhaps he could wait until Concubine Shu gave birth before taking any action.

But this thought only flashed through his mind. What should not be ignored is the young man's inner voice:

[Ahhh, I'm so angry! You're so shameless, do you think you have a death-proof gold medal in your belly? ]

[Even the death-free gold medal has a limit on the number of times it can be obtained, so this pregnancy is unlimited, right? ]

[Not only did they let the pregnant woman go, but they also let your mother go. Am I a little idiot? Was I poisoned in vain?]

Indeed, even if we cannot do anything to Concubine Shu, should we let the other culprit go?

"Shufei, please go back to the palace."

"Then... Your Majesty must promise me that you will not punish my mother."

It was after she became pregnant that His Majesty became gentler and Concubine Shu forgot his previous cruelty.

Now that she suddenly thought about it, she didn't dare to imagine what her mother would face.

[I have learned it, but is this what you call pushing the limit? The law is just a decoration in your eyes.]

The emperor's voice became stern: "Come here, please ask Concubine Shu to return to the palace. She is not allowed to leave the bedroom until the birth."

There are so many things going on, just put her under house arrest and don't even bother to deal with her nonsense.

Of course Concubine Shu was unwilling, but the palace maid went straight forward to tie her up, avoiding her abdomen and carrying her back.

Madam Yang kept scolding them: "What are you doing, you little slaves? Be careful! Don't hurt the heir in Concubine Shu's belly!"

The scene was in chaos, and Concubine Shu was struggling so hard that it would take time for the palace maids to tie her up by force.

"Stop!" With a loud shout, an old woman in luxurious clothes walked in from outside the door.

Bei Jingchu knew that her cheap father was going to be angry.

In the original novel, this tyrant has a perverted desire to control power.

Specifically, even his biological mother, the Queen Mother, could not enter Yu's study at will.

So the emperor did not pay his respects to the empress dowager, but was displeased: "Isn't the empress dowager meditating in the Buddhist temple?"

"Why did you suddenly return to the palace and come in without even notifying me?"

The Queen Mother knew the Emperor's rules.

But she came over angrily and said, "Why do I pray and recite scriptures every day? It's to pray for the emperor to have many children."

"If I hadn't come right in, what else would you have done to a pregnant woman carrying my grandson?"
