The emperor was panicking, but he pretended to be calm, fearing that Jiang Yan would notice something.
"Of course, I only want you as my woman."
Jiang Yan buried her head in his chest shyly. Where the emperor couldn't see, her eyes were filled with tears and her face was cold.
When returning to Changqiu Palace, Jiang Yan sat in front of the bronze mirror in a daze.
At this moment, she no longer had the joy she had yesterday.
That night, the emperor turned over Concubine An's card again. There was no other way, Concubine An had a great figure.
Although he felt sorry for Jiang Yan, he didn't think he was wrong.
He still loved her deeply, but he also fell in love with Concubine An's body and Concubine Xi's tricks.
The two were in the midst of making love, but the emperor didn't know that Jiang Yan had opened the door to the secret passage.
Through the gap, the emperor's lustful face could be clearly seen, his complexion pale.
I closed my eyes sadly and let the tears flow down.
Now she finally couldn't deceive herself anymore. The emperor really lied to her and really favored someone else.
"Your Majesty, how is my service?" Concubine An asked with heavy breathing.
"Good, very good!" The emperor's excited voice came. Jiang Yan wanted to rush out and pull the two bitches apart.
"Then Your Majesty, compared to Concubine Jiang last night, who do you like more?"
"Of course it's you."
Jiang Yan couldn't bear it any longer and pushed open the door of the secret room, staring at the two people on the bed in grief.
The emperor was shocked and suddenly softened, pushing Concubine An away.
"Yan'er, no, it's not what you see!" The emperor panicked, seeing his beloved crying, and hurried to coax her.
"Don't touch me! Is this what you meant by loving only me, Your Majesty? Is this your promise, Your Majesty?!"
Concubine An was not at all frightened by the sudden appearance of the person. Instead, she walked forward and put her arms around the emperor without any shame.
"Your Majesty, why did Concubine Jiang suddenly appear? I was scared to death." In front of Jiang Yan, Concubine An seduced my emperor.
He put his arm around her and rubbed it against her plump body.
The emperor pulled his hand away with all his might and shouted, "Get out first!"
"Yan'er, listen to me, I really only love you. I was confused for a moment and couldn't control myself. You—"
Jiang Yan laughed bitterly at herself, "Can't control yourself? I just heard Your Majesty say you like her more. So tell me, how many times has she been favored by you? How many?"
Jiang Yan roared at the top of her lungs, feeling extremely sad.
"No matter who I favor, you are the one I love the most, right?"
If Xu Jinyi were here, she would probably laugh at the dog emperor's love.
Jiang Yan was able to hold the emperor's hand for so long, and she was not stupid. She would not be fooled by a few words from the emperor.
"So you love me, but you sleep with other women and lie to me. If you do this, what's the difference between me and the concubine?"
The emperor was humiliated time and again and was fed up: "That's enough, I've already said that you are my favorite, why are you still making a fuss?"
"I have done so much for you, do you still doubt my sincerity?"
Concubine An clearly discovered something, but she didn't mind making a big deal out of it. She said, "Yes, His Majesty is our husband. He loves every one of us. Why is there so much anger, sister?"
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. The Imperial Concubine knows the principle of equal treatment. How could my sister be jealous?"
Hearing this, the emperor looked at Jiang Yan with disappointment: "Go back first and stop making trouble."
Jiang Yan laughed: "I am being unreasonable. It was you, Your Majesty, who promised me that you would not touch other women and that you would grant me the position of Empress. The Imperial Concubine was just my shield."
Concubine An covered her mouth in surprise, as if she had heard some terrible news.
“Pah.”
A crisp slap was heard, and Jiang Yan looked at the emperor in disbelief, unable to recover for a long time.
The emperor's face was gloomy and his eyes were sinister. "Come here, Concubine An is trying to murder me. Take her away and beat her to death immediately."
Only after Concubine An was pulled away did Jiang Yan calm down.
Covering his face, he deeply understood that his throne was not as important as the one in front of him.
She never thought that there would be a day when she would be disliked.
The person who had always doted on her, loved her, and pitied her now beat her with his own hands.
This hurt her more than the dozens of beatings that the imperial concubine had received.
A sincere heart is like being stepped on and trampled on by the emperor.
"In the past, you even felt distressed when I had a nightmare, but now you look at me with such cold eyes. Was all the love you showed me over the years fake?"
The emperor also woke up in shock, looking at his big hands, regret and guilt surged in his heart.
"Yan'er, no, I didn't mean it. I was just furious. If Concubine An gets out about what you just said and offends the Imperial Concubine, everything will be over."
"Yan'er, don't be angry. I was wrong and shouldn't have hit you. I promise you that I won't have anyone else sleep with me anymore, okay?"
Jiang Yan knew that the emperor was now willing to admit his mistake and give her a way out. If she continued to make a fuss, it would only hurt their relationship.
She wiped away her tears and hugged him tenderly, crying.
The emperor coaxed Jiang Yan in a gentle voice and promoted her to Concubine Jiang, and the matter was finally over.
Little did they know that Concubine An, who was taken away, was not dead, but was safely sent out of the palace by the Empress Dowager's people.
Looking at the birdcage that had trapped her for several years, Concubine An smiled. Finally, she knelt down and bowed in the direction of the Cining Palace, then left without looking back.
She did not enter the palace voluntarily, and now that she has the chance to leave, she will not let it go.
Now she is finally free and can go back to find her young lover.
The bright sunlight shone through the curtains onto the bed, and Xu Jinyi opened his eyes tiredly.
She glared at the man who had tasted the sweetness of it with resentment, and took a bite of his chest in revenge.
"Can't you just take a day off? Let me rest?"
Xiao Jing raised the corners of his lips, and entwined his hands with her hair: "I see that you are quite happy, so you are working so hard. So you want to take a break, why didn't you say so earlier."
Xu Jinyi: “…”
"I've been out of the palace for many days. If I don't go back soon, the dog emperor might get suspicious. I plan to go back later."
"Besides, you don't attend court every day. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will try to win over your people and side with him?"
"A fool like him must be feeling very proud now, thinking he has hurt me, but he doesn't know that I was just biding my time and waiting for the right opportunity."
"Now there are rumors everywhere, saying that the emperor is incompetent and doesn't care about the lives of the soldiers on the border or the people suffering from the drought."
"As long as he completely loses the support of the people, our child can be pushed onto the throne."
Touching her belly, Xiao Jing was very excited.
"You really don't mind that the throne doesn't fall into your hands?" Xu Jinyi smiled.
Xiao Jing shook his head seriously. "In fact, it would be most appropriate for our child to be the emperor. So what if I staged a coup to seize the throne? It's not the best strategy after all."
"Although I have many ministers who support me, there are also many who want to kill me. It's not easy for me to sit in that position."
