Chapter 19: The Angry Emperor with No Heir x The Cannon Fodder Female Match and the Concubine's Daughter 19
Concubine Yu Gui was not prepared to kneel down herself, but was just waiting for Nanny Zhang to take action.
Qing'er followed Concubine Yu's instructions and only paused symbolically.
The Queen, who was angry, did not pay attention to these details, but Concubine Xian, who was not far away, had her eyebrows flickering and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"Madam Zhang, Concubine Yu is disrespectful to me, why don't you take action immediately?"
The Queen's stern voice rang out, and Nanny Zhang had no choice but to grit her teeth and grab Concubine Yu's arm and force her to kneel on the ground.
"Idiot!" Concubine Xian sighed inwardly. This queen was really stupid. If the late emperor had not arranged the marriage for her, how could it be her turn to become the queen?
Concubine Yugui knelt on the ground, looking at the empress with eyes full of unwillingness, which made the empress raise her eyebrows proudly, pick up the teacup and take a sip leisurely.
"My Queen, this is the current situation in Yu Garden."
Yinling excitedly reported the situation in the Yu Garden to Aunt Qiao.
Jinjin Qiao lay on the recliner and thought for a moment before saying, "Go tell the emperor the situation. If my guess is correct, Concubine Yu is going to have a miscarriage."
"Yes, I obey your command."
Mo Liyuan was in Yu's study reading a secret letter sent to him by his subordinates. After hearing Ma De's report, he first burned the secret letter and then stood up.
"Let's go, take control of the garden, it's time to deal with the queen."
Ma De was now quite speechless to the Queen. He, a eunuch, knew Concubine Yu's plan, but the Queen couldn't see it.
Glancing at the emperor's expression, Ma De curled his lips. He had no idea what the late emperor was thinking. It was such a waste for such a mighty emperor to be paired with such a queen.
If he were to say, the only person in the entire harem who is worthy of the emperor is Concubine Yuan.
When Mo Liyuan was still some distance away from the Garden of Delights, he heard miserable screams and the concubines' cries of shock, and he immediately quickened his pace.
Concubine Yu Gui was lying on the ground, her skirt soaked with blood, and she stared at the stunned queen with tears on her face, "Queen, I cannot coexist with you. This is the heir to the throne, how dare you..."
There was disbelief in the Queen's eyes. She had clearly consulted the imperial physician and it was no big deal to kneel for a quarter of an hour, so how could she have a miscarriage?
"Empress Yu, please stop slandering me. You must be feeling unwell. Don't put the blame on me."
Qing Er knelt beside Concubine Yu Gui and supported her. She turned around and shouted helplessly, "Quickly call the imperial physician, call Imperial Physician Li!"
"The Emperor Arrives"
Concubine Yu Gui was shocked and immediately lost all her strength. She looked pitifully at Mo Liyuan who walked into the Yu Garden and said, "Your Majesty, our child is gone. The Queen killed him again. What about my child?"
Mo Liyuan's face turned pale, and he looked at the queen gloomily and said, "Give me an explanation."
"Your Majesty" The Queen was shocked. She didn't expect the Emperor to come so soon. She was not prepared at all.
"Concubine Yu Gui was disrespectful to me, so I only punished her to kneel for a while. I didn't expect her to be so useless. She had a miscarriage in less than a quarter of an hour."
Mo Liyuan smiled coldly and said in a low voice, "So you admit that this child is because you don't have one?"
The queen knelt down in front of Mo Liyuan and looked at him expectantly. "I didn't mean to do that. I didn't want to harm Concubine Yu Gui's child."
"Okay, very good." Mo Liyuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a voice from his thin lips. "Pass on my decree. Empress Shen Cuiyan has harmed the royal heir and is not a virtuous empress. The Phoenix Seal is taken back, and she is demoted to a talented person and sent to the cold palace. The power to manage the six palaces is handed over to Concubine Yuan."
"Your Majesty, you can't do this. I am the Empress, the Empress appointed by the late Emperor."
Mentioning the late emperor, Mo Liyuan got angry, and his face became even uglier. "Do you think I would marry you without the late emperor's arrangement? If your father hadn't forced the late emperor, how could he have arranged the marriage? Get out of here!"
At this time, Concubine Xian stepped forward and said softly in a gentle tone, "Your Majesty, although I know that the Queen deserves this, I think it is better to give the power of managing the six palaces to my elder sister who has more experience in the harem."
Seeing that Concubine Xian spoke first, Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and said helplessly, "Yes, Your Majesty, Concubine Yuan has only been in the palace for a short time. If she manages the six palaces like this, I'm afraid she will be in a mess."
Mo Liyuan glanced at them, thought for a moment and said, "Shufei manages the six palaces, and Xianfei assists from the side."
"Send Concubine Yu back to Yanxi Palace and ask the imperial physician to treat her."
After Mo Liyuan gave his instructions, he turned around and left without even looking at them.
When Mo Liyuan arrived at Kunning Palace, Aunt Qiao was watching Nanny Li making small clothes. Her admiring eyes made Mo Liyuan smile lovingly.
"How are you feeling today, my dear?"
Qiao Jinjin turned around and smiled at Mo Liyuan, then stood up and greeted him. "Very good."
After saying that, she took Mo Liyuan's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen.
"Why do I feel that the emperor is in a good mood? Can you tell me?"
When Mo Liyuan heard Aunt Qiao ask this, he pulled her to sit down and said, "I deposed the queen. Actually, she should have been deposed long ago."
Seeing the puzzled look in Qiao Jinjin's eyes, Mo Liyuan smiled helplessly and said, "It was not my original intention to marry the queen. At that time, the queen's mother's family was powerful, and the late emperor was forced to grant the marriage."
"Now I am not afraid of any of them. My aunt is pregnant with my child. I want to leave the position of Queen to you."
With red eyes, Qiao Jinjin leaned her head on Mo Liyuan's shoulder, thought for a moment and said, "I don't care which position I sit in, as long as I can accompany the emperor."
Mo Liyuan stroked the strands of hair on Aunt Qiao's forehead and sighed, "Originally, I wanted you to take charge of the six palaces, but after thinking carefully, if you really do this, then Aunt Qiao will definitely become a target for the concubines in the harem. I can't let you and the child be in danger."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jinjin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the emperor did not let me manage the six palaces. It's good like this now. Too much trouble will be bad for the fetus."
Mo Liyuan nodded and said, "It's only been less than two months now. When your pregnancy is stable, I'll take you out to relax."
When Qiao Jinjin heard this, her eyes lit up for a moment and she said, "Okay."
After being carried into the Yanxi Palace, Concubine Yu returned to normal, sitting on a chair and drinking bird's nest tea.
"The Queen is completely finished this time. The next step is the position of Queen."
Qing'er was a little hesitant. "Your Majesty, the power to manage the six palaces is now in the hands of Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian. This is a bit disadvantageous to Your Majesty."
Concubine Yu Gui glanced at Qing Er, snorted with a smile and said, "I just had a miscarriage, how could I have the energy to manage the six palaces? The emperor is sympathizing with me."
"Ah, Shen Cuiyan has come to this day. Let's go to the cold palace to visit this Shen Cairen later. I'm sure she will be very happy."
Qing Er curled her lips, her tone full of disdain, "That's right, if it weren't for her, Your Majesty would have been the Empress long ago."
Taifu Mansion
Qiao Zhenzhen held a bowl of medicine and looked at Li Huaijiang pitifully, "Husband, can you please not drink it? It's so bitter."
Li Huaijiang patted Qiao Zhenzhen's hand and said helplessly, "The doctor said you are weak. Drink some soup to recuperate."
After saying that, he picked up the medicine and handed it to Qiao Zhenzhen. When Qiao Zhenzhen drank the medicine, Li Huaijiang curled his lips and smiled.
He didn't want a bastard to be an eyesore in front of him.
