Chapter 190 The murderous tyrant x the disfavored noble concubine in the cold palace 6
Aunt Qiao held her head high and patted her sleeves. "Money makes the world go round. What are you afraid of? Huan'er, don't I have a lot of banknotes?"
Huan Er suddenly realized, "I just remembered that the queen brought a lot of banknotes when she entered the palace."
Aunt Qiao was in a good mood and hummed a little tune. She glanced at Huan'er and said, "So, if you have money, you have nothing to be afraid of. Let's just stay in this cold palace for the next six months."
Huan'er has always been puzzled, why is her own queen so sure that she only needs to live in the cold palace for half a year? Could it be that the queen and the emperor have some secret behind their backs?
Half a year later
Today is the Queen Mother's fiftieth birthday, and it is also the first time that the Emperor has held a banquet in the palace since he ascended the throne.
The Queen Mother wore a double-phoenix cloud brocade robe and a nine-phoenix gold jade crown on her head, and she looked elegant and luxurious.
The Emperor and Empress, wearing dragon robes and phoenix robes, supported the Empress Dowager to the banquet venue. Civil and military officials and their families had been waiting for a long time.
"May our emperor live forever"
"May the Queen Mother live a thousand years, may the Queen live a thousand years"
The emperor raised his hand and said, "Gentlemen, please stand up."
"Today is the Queen Mother's birthday. The Queen Mother said that everyone should not be too reserved."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty the Queen Mother"
The queen stood aside without saying a word, her eyes indifferent.
However, she couldn't help feeling contempt in her heart. She had long understood that the Emperor was just trying to keep the Imperial Concubine safe. Otherwise, why had he never summoned anyone to sleep with him since the Imperial Concubine entered the palace?
Moreover, she sent someone to check on the cold palace. It turned out that the imperial concubine was living a happy life now. Not only did she have no worries about food and clothing, she even built a vegetable garden in the cold palace.
No, she couldn't let the imperial concubine be so proud, thinking that she could live a good life just by hooking up with the emperor? She would not let her have her wish.
Sitting below the emperor was his second uncle, King Kangshan, who was eight feet tall and quite strong.
King Kangshan calmly played with the wine glass in his hand, staring at the dancer, looking uninterested.
The emperor looked at King Kangshan and said, "Uncle Wang, I see that you are not in a good mood today."
King Kangshan shook his head and chuckled, "I was thinking, the emperor has been on the throne for almost a year, and there is not even an heir in the harem. Shouldn't he choose some women who are good at giving birth to enter the palace?"
The Queen Mother's words touched her heart. She nodded in agreement and said, "Your uncle is right. You have been living like a monk for the past six months. You can't be an emperor like this."
The emperor was secretly depressed and felt very aggrieved. In the past few months, he had secretly found several people with superb medical skills to examine him, but they all said that he was in good health and found nothing abnormal.
But he just knew that something was wrong with him. Every time he was anxious in his heart, his body didn't react at all.
The emperor curled his lips and said, "It's my fault that you've made me worry, but I don't want so many women in the harem."
The Queen Mother frowned and asked, "Are you still thinking about the Imperial Concubine? The Queen said that the Imperial Concubine had a very good life in the cold palace. Did you ask someone to take care of her?"
The emperor was full of questions. If the empress dowager hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that the noble concubine was still living in the cold palace. How could he be the one taking care of her?
But since the Queen Mother has mentioned this, he might as well take the opportunity to let the Royal Concubine take the responsibility for him.
The emperor sighed and shook his head, "Mother, I don't want to be like this either, but apart from the concubine, I have no interest in anyone else."
When the emperor said this, not only did the queen mother's face change, but even the empress, concubines and other concubines in the harem also looked extremely ugly.
There was a gleam of light in King Kangshan's eyes. He wanted to see what kind of woman could make the emperor throw away the face of all the women in the harem.
"Oh? Since the emperor likes that concubine, why did he lock her up in the cold palace? And why didn't he take her out of the cold palace?"
Before the emperor could say anything, the queen mother angrily said, "She is a crazy woman. Shouldn't she be locked up in the cold palace and wait for her to bring disaster to the entire harem?"
Aunt Qiao was almost mad. She was just lying on the roof watching the fun, but why could these people's topics of conversation never leave her?
And the emperor, what does it mean that he has no interest in anyone else except her? It's really like the pot falls on the sky while the man lies on the roof.
Suddenly, Jin Jin Qiao narrowed her eyes and stared at the dancing dancers. She saw a flash of silver light, and five dancers attacked the emperor at the same time.
"Guard the driver, guard the driver quickly"
These dancers were well-trained, and although the emperor was protected by guards, he was still stabbed in the chest by a dagger held by one of the dancers.
The Queen Mother was so frightened that she almost fainted, and the Empress and others were so frightened that they hid aside and screamed.
Li Fuzhong supported the emperor, whose chest was bleeding profusely, and shouted anxiously, "The emperor is injured!"
King Kangshan then stood up and said with a serious face, "Close the palace gates and quickly check if there are any assassins. Anyone found suspicious will be killed without mercy."
The emperor looked at King Kangshan deeply, then his eyes rolled back and he passed out.
King Kangshan took the place of the emperor and sat in the study. A man in eunuch clothes stood in front of the desk and bowed to report, "Your Highness, the ministers have all left the palace. Should we take action on our next plan?"
King Kangshan waved his hands and sneered, "No need, the emperor has been poisoned, he will not survive tonight"
The man suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for getting what you wished for."
"Hahahaha" King Kangshan couldn't help laughing, "My nephew is such a waste. It's a pity to let him become the emperor."
"Keep the Queen Mother under watch. Don't let these women ruin my plans."
The emperor was lying on the dragon bed in the Qianlong Palace. His wounds had not been treated. Although the blood on his chest had already coagulated, the emperor was obviously in a deep coma.
Li Fuzhong knelt in front of the dragon bed with a trembling body. He had already thought of his own fate. If the emperor could not survive, he would not live either.
King Kangshan had made sufficient preparations. The entire Qianlong Palace was under strict guard, and they could even ignore the emperor's serious injuries with impunity.
Thinking of this, Li Fuzhong burst into tears again, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and cannot protect you."
"I don't want to die in a humiliating way, so I'll go first."
As soon as Li Fuzhong finished speaking, he bumped into the headboard.
The loud noise startled Aunt Qiao who was peeking on the roof.
Damn, it hurts so much, you are so brave.
My husband, why haven't you come yet? Why are you so quiet?
"System, didn't you say that your husband would come today? The emperor is about to die, why hasn't your husband come yet?"
[It's not like he's not dead yet, but don't be too happy too soon. The Demon King of the Demon Realm is scary just by hearing his name. Be careful or he'll kill you by accident.]
Aunt Qiao shuddered and became a little uncertain.
"No way, my husband always fell in love with me the first time he saw me."
[In short, you should be careful. Even if you fail, it’s okay. You can just keep working hard in the next world. But your points will be reset to zero.]
