Chapter 249: Vicious Female Supporting Character vs. Childless Emperor 93
Lanpin was extremely anxious, fearing that Concubine De would anger the Empress again. She walked to Concubine De's side, reached out to take the Buddhist scriptures, and advised:
"Sister Defei, please go back first. I will plead with the Queen on your behalf. At least the Queen is willing to see you. Over time, the Queen will surely forgive you...ah!"
Defei suddenly pushed Lanpin. On one side of the pavilion was an artificially carved stream. The water was not very deep, only up to a person's waist. Lanpin suddenly fell down and couldn't help but panic.
Jinxiu was horrified and immediately jumped down to save her. "Empress Lanpin can't swim. Someone come! Help!"
Several eunuchs who were good at swimming jumped in immediately and hurriedly grabbed Concubine Lan who was lying in the water. Concubine Lan choked and coughed several times, and finally raised her head above the water, breathing deeply.
When Concubine Lan fell, Concubine De seized the moment when everyone was stunned and threw the Buddhist scriptures in her hand out, disrupting the vision in the pavilion.
She quickly took out a dagger from her arms and pounced towards Ji Yunhuan!
Everything happened in a flash. Concubine De was desperate and risked her life to avenge her unborn child!
A life for a life. If her child dies, she will die too. Ji Yunhuan and the child in her belly also deserve to die!
Taohong immediately stood in front of Ji Yunhuan and shouted "Protect the emperor!"
Ji Yunhuan was prepared, and the eunuchs guarding the pavilion were no pushovers either, and they captured Concubine De in an instant.
"Don't shoot the arrow, don't hurt her life."
The guards protecting the Queen retreated.
With a snap, Concubine De's wrist snapped back and the knife in her hand fell to the ground. Her eyes were red and she struggled like crazy, screaming, "Let go! Let me go! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"
Ji Yunhuan was so angry that she almost laughed. "Can you be any more stupid? You thought of assassinating me in broad daylight. Do you think you can't die quickly enough?"
"I don't think I have done anything wrong to you, and I never thought of harming your life. What deep hatred do you have that you must kill me?"
Concubine De was forced to kneel on the ground and was hit several times, but she seemed not to feel the pain. She raised her head and stared at Ji Yunhuan fiercely.
She spat out a mouthful of blood and roared, "You are such a vicious person. You caused my miscarriage and killed my son. Of course I have to kill you!"
"You were born with everything. You became the queen when you entered the palace, but I only have this child! I am trapped within these palace walls, without freedom and hope. Hao Chang gave me the only warmth. I just wanted to keep his bloodline, but you forced me to do it. You killed my child..."
Concubine De cried until she was hoarse, as if the whole world owed her something.
Ji Yunhuan's head hurt from the noise, and she said helplessly, "Wait a minute, let's start from the beginning. There is no such thing as a child. You are not pregnant at all!"
De Fei's eyes widened in shock. After a pause, she shouted again, "You are talking nonsense! I must be pregnant with Hao Chang's child! My period has not come, my stomach is bloated, I prefer sour food to meat, and I still feel dizzy and nauseous every morning when I wake up."
Concubine Lan had been rescued. She was soaked all over, with a piece of cotton cloth wrapped around her body, and she sneezed violently.
She was really heartbroken by Concubine De. She risked her life to plead for Concubine De, but Concubine De pushed her into the water as soon as she arrived and then assassinated the Queen. She simply wanted to drag her to death with her!
Hearing Concubine De say that she was pregnant, Lanpin sneered: "Your Highness Concubine De hid it so well that even I and Jinxiu didn't know about this happy event. Has Concubine De seen a doctor? How long have you been pregnant?"
Defei suddenly calmed down. She didn't dare to look at the doctor. Her mind was in a mess. She stammered, "I don't believe it! You guys are conspiring to deceive me. I really am pregnant with Haochang's child..."
Ji Yunhuan ordered someone to invite Qin Imperial Physician, "Just tell him that I feel a little sick and ask him to come and take a look."
Imperial Physician Qin arrived very quickly. He insisted on taking the Queen's pulse first. After making sure that the Queen was safe and sound, he reluctantly took the pulse of Concubine De who was kneeling on the ground.
"You didn't have a miscarriage, you just had irregular menstruation, which is common among women. You will be fine after you rest for a while."
"As for the bloating you mentioned, it's probably because you ate something bad. The dizziness and nausea are because you don't have a good foundation to begin with, and you're always overthinking, so naturally you're not feeling well."
Concubine De felt like she was struck by lightning and knelt on the ground for a long time, unable to recover.
She had never had a child, and everything was empty. She looked at the stone pillar in the pavilion and slammed into it!
The eunuch naturally would not let Concubine De commit suicide, so he quickly grabbed Concubine De.
Lanpin was almost mad with anger. She slapped Defei fiercely and cursed, "What a piece of shit Long Haochang is. He committed the crime of treason and deserves death! He flirts with others and has no true feelings for you. He is just using you."
"He wanted to drag the Lan family into this, but did you see me paying attention to him? Only you, a fool, eagerly offered yourself to him to sleep with. You...how could you be so stupid? You have been with His Majesty for many years, but you are not a beauty. His Majesty looks down on you. Do you think Long Haochang really loves you?"
"You are so stupid! Do you think you are so great that you can make the whole world your enemy for him? You hid it from me and Jinxiu, you schemed against the Queen, you schemed against His Majesty, His Majesty has been kind to you, have you forgotten all that?"
Defei burst into tears and lay on the ground, unable to utter a word. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She had always been cautious, but that day she gave in to Long Haochang and things got out of control from then on.
Ji Yunhuan was too lazy to scold Concubine De. Long Haochang was dead, but there was still a woman who was so crazy for his "child".
Concubine De cried for a long time, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts. After crying, she felt more clear-headed than ever before.
Everything seemed like a dream. She did a lot of stupid things for a non-existent "child". Fortunately, Concubine Lan was safe and sound, otherwise she would not be at peace even if she died.
Defei bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the empress. Her voice was a little hoarse but firm.
"I know I will die. Maybe I deserved to die when I was kidnapped by bandits. I just survived for so many years. No matter how your majesty wants to deal with me, I have no complaints. But Lanpin is innocent. I only ask your majesty not to implicate her."
Lanpin turned her face away, her eyes red. She buried her head in Jinxiu's arms, not daring to look or listen.
Assassinating the queen is a capital crime, and even she doesn't have the face to plead for Concubine De.
Ji Yunhuan stood up and looked into Concubine De's eyes. "Back then, you were abducted by bandits. You stabbed the bandit's eyes and ran down the mountain in dishevel. It happened that His Majesty sent people to suppress the bandits. You were saved, but you were forced by the Zheng family to commit suicide to preserve the family's reputation."
"When His Majesty learned of this, he praised you for your meritorious service in suppressing the bandits and for injuring the evil bandits, and he summoned you to the palace to be his concubine. This palace wall has indeed trapped you, but it has also protected you."
"Zheng Ru, do you still have the courage you had back then to stab the bandit leader? I will not make public what happened today. If you help me get rid of the Queen Mother, I will give you freedom!"
