Chapter 20: The Angry Emperor with No Heir x The Cannon Fodder Female Match and the Concubine's Daughter 20
Qiao Zhenzhen looked at the empty bowl with a sense of loss, "My dear, when will I be able to have a child?"
Li Huaijiang endured the discomfort in his heart and rubbed Qiao Zhenzhen's head and said, "The doctor said that you should take the medicine for a few months and see how it works."
"Okay, don't think too much. I have something else to do. I'll come back to accompany you in the evening, okay?"
Qiao Zhenzhen nodded, and her expression changed when Li Huaijiang left the room.
"Come here and kneel down, you bastard"
The maid Zi Xin shook her shoulders, slowly walked to Qiao Zhenzhen and knelt down.
"lady"
Qiao Zhenzhen glared at her fiercely, "What were you looking at just now, you little bitch? Are you so short of men? Is Brother Huaijiang someone you can think of?"
"Lian Yue, give me the whip."
Lian Yue looked at Zi Xin with disdain and said, "Madam, you should punish her. She relies on her beauty to flirt with the young master all day long. I can't stand it anymore."
"Snap"
"ah"
Zi Xin endured the severe pain in her body. She was filled with grievances but could not speak them out. Every few days, the young master would call her away and abuse her. He would never really touch her, but would treat her with the methods of a vicious person.
“Snap, snap”
"Madam, please spare my life. I know I was wrong."
Tired of beating, Qiao Zhenzhen dropped the whip in her hand and kicked Zi Xin hard. "Luckily my husband only likes me, otherwise I would have been seduced by a little bitch like you."
"Lian Yue, send her away and go clean the toilet"
"Yes," Lian Yue looked at Zi Xin, who had braids on her face, sarcastically, "Don't you even consider your status? How could the young master possibly like you?"
Zi Xin lowered her head, clenched her fists tightly, and her heart was filled with hatred. Li Huaijiang, Qiao Zhenzhen, if you give her a chance, you will all die miserably.
Li Huaijiang left Qiao Zhenzhen and went directly to Li Taifu's study. At this time, Li Taifu had been waiting for a while. When he saw Li Huaijiang come in, he frowned and said, "Why are you so slow? Something happened in the palace."
Li Huaijiang was shocked when he heard this, and asked in a somewhat brisk tone, "What is it? Is it about Concubine Yu Gui's pregnancy?"
Li Taifu nodded, stroked his beard and said, "Yes, Concubine Yu Gui had a miscarriage. The culprit is the Empress. She has been banished to the cold palace."
Li Huaijiang heaved a sigh of relief. "It's finally a miscarriage. Now the emperor has no hope. There's a good chance that he will choose a prince from outside."
Master Li narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "Not bad."
"We must be careful with Qiao Zhenzhen and never let her find out anything."
Li Huaijiang sneered and said sarcastically, "That idiot is still hoping to have a child soon."
The Prime Minister's Office is also secretly planning.
Prime Minister Qiao arrived at the eldest princess's courtyard early in the morning, held her hand and asked about her well-being for a long time before getting to the point.
"Madam, Concubine Yu had a miscarriage yesterday, and the Empress has been banished to the cold palace."
"Madam, do you think we should proceed to the next step?"
The princess chuckled and lowered her eyes and said, "Don't worry, my husband. I know what to do. In two days, I will go to the palace to test the Queen Mother's attitude. If she really wants to appoint a queen, then the queen must be ours."
Prime Minister Qiao patted the eldest princess's hand and said, "Madam is still the one I like the most."
No one knew that after Prime Minister Qiao left the princess's courtyard, he came to a remote courtyard in a hutong in the south of the city.
There were weeds all over the place, and only when you walked to the innermost part of the courtyard did you find a clean and tidy room.
An old woman lived here, and when she saw Prime Minister Qiao, she immediately knelt down.
"grown ups"
Prime Minister Qiao glanced at her, his eyes were cold and he said, "Go tell the young master that we can make the next plan now."
"It's been so many years since I was in the Damin Dynasty. It's time."
The old woman glanced at Prime Minister Qiao, hesitated for a moment and said, "Then the eldest princess and the eldest lady..."
Prime Minister Qiao snorted sarcastically, "I am not Qiao Zhenshan. If it were not for the great cause of my master, how could I have wronged myself for so many years?"
The old woman sighed inwardly, thinking that if Qiao Zhenshan knew that his wife and daughter had been murdered, he would probably crawl out of the ground.
As usual, Aunt Qiao stayed in Kunning Palace and never went out, which left no chance for anyone who wanted to find out any news.
"Hey, sister, are you here to see Princess Yuan?"
Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Shu, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Look at what my sister said, you are the same."
The two looked at each other. They actually had the same purpose. They wanted to see what else about Concubine Yuan besides her appearance that made her worthy of the emperor's favor.
"Your Majesty, Consort Shu and Consort Xian are here. They said they want to visit you. Do you want me to find a reason..."
"No need," Aunt Qiao interrupted Jin Ling's next words.
He turned to look at Aunt Liu and said, "Please step aside for a moment. If they see you, who knows what they will think."
Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian came together, and if you didn't know, you would think they had a very good relationship.
Seeing that Aunt Qiao was lying on the couch without getting up, Concubine Xian's eyes flickered, "Sister is really free, unlike us, who have to deal with palace affairs every day and are very busy."
Qiao Jinjin sneered in her heart, but smiled and said, "That's really hard work, Concubine Xian. How about I tell the emperor that you, Concubine Xian, don't want to manage the six palaces?"
Concubine Xian curled her lips and said in her heart, "Don't bother my sister anymore."
Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Xian with a gloating look and said, "Look at what you said, sister. Why are you bringing this up?"
Concubine Xian rolled her eyes at Concubine Shu and looked around at everything in Kunning Palace, hiding the jealousy in her eyes very well.
"My sister, you feel really comfortable here. I wonder if you can come here more often to talk to me."
Jin Jin Qiao stared at Concubine Xian for a long time, which made Concubine Xian feel uneasy.
"Why are you staring at me like that, little sister?"
Aunt Qiao chuckled and said, "I am afraid that if I make friends with you, I will end up with the same fate as Concubine Mei."
Concubine Xian's heart skipped a beat, and she pretended to be calm and said, "Sister, you don't understand what I mean. Concubine Mei did something wrong, and she ended up like this because of her own fault."
"Really?" Aunt Qiao raised her eyebrows. "Not necessarily."
Concubine Xian looked very unhappy when she was pushed by Aunt Qiao, but Concubine Shu narrowed her eyes.
"Do you two have anything else to do? If not, I will take a rest."
Concubine Xian gritted her teeth, snorted coldly, stood up, turned around and left.
Concubine Shu smiled awkwardly and said, "Then I'll leave first. Come back when you have time."
"Slow down, no goodbyes"
After leaving Kunning Palace, Concubine Shu saw Concubine Xian waiting at the door. She took two quick steps forward and asked, "Sister, do you have anything to say?"
Concubine Xian bit her back teeth and said, "Concubine Yuan is really unreasonable. She doesn't take us seriously at all."
"Oh," said Concubine Shu with a look of sarcasm, "Concubine Yuan is in great favor, why does she care about us, the concubines who are not favored?"
"Sister, please stop trying to provoke me. From now on, just take care of your own little piece of land."
Watching Concubine Shu's leaving back, Concubine Xian clenched her fists tightly, not feeling any pain even when her nails dug into her flesh.
What did Princess Yuan mean by what she said just now? Did she know something?
