She served the emperor without taking off her clothes every day, but in the end, what did she get? She never received a word from the emperor. That was fine, as she was a noble concubine, serving the emperor was her duty.
But why, why can the queen get the emperor's true heart without doing anything?
Even if the empress gave the emperor the cold shoulder and refused to let him enter Kunning Palace, the emperor did not do anything to the empress. He just said a few words when he was too angry sometimes, and the empress continued to do what she wanted and live her life as usual.
How could she be content with this? How could she not have any thoughts in her mind?
That would be fine, the eldest prince she gave birth to is also the emperor's son. Why did her son not receive any love from the emperor since he was a child, and was always treated with a cold face? In her impression, the emperor never hugged the eldest prince once.
Why? Is it because the eldest prince was born to her? If so, what about the second prince? The second prince Xie Ruihong was born to Concubine Sheng, and he received the same treatment as her son, the eldest prince.
Among the four princes, only the third prince was truly favored by the emperor.
Although the emperor sent the third prince to the northern border and entered the military camp early, they all knew that the emperor did so to protect the third prince, so that the third prince could take control of the military power as soon as possible, make military achievements, and lay a good foundation for making the third prince the crown prince in the future.
The emperor's good intentions made her jealous, and she was almost going crazy with jealousy.
She knew very well in her heart that neither she nor Concubine Sheng could interfere with the relationship between the emperor and the empress. Even if both of them gave birth to princes for the emperor, nothing would change.
On the contrary, the emperor would think that the princes born to the two of them blocked the third prince's path and became a stumbling block for the third prince to become the crown prince.
Although the emperor did not suppress the eldest prince and the second prince openly, it is true that he did not take them seriously. The reason why the second son, the eldest prince and the second prince had the power they have today was all due to himself and his mother's family.
Anyway, she knew in her heart that once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. Even if she was unwilling, for the sake of her future life and family, she had to find ways to help her son get to that position.
Since the emperor doesn't care about them and has never considered making the eldest prince the crown prince, why does she still worry so much?
Thinking of the medicine that her mother had secretly sent to the palace some time ago, she asked her to put it in the emperor's food.
It's easier said than done. The emperor's three meals a day are all prepared by the imperial kitchen, and everything is made of the finest ingredients. Someone even tests for poison before the emperor eats, so it's impossible to put drugs in the food.
But she knew that this matter could not be dragged on any longer, because her son, the Second Prince, came to the palace to tell her that all the assassins sent out were killed and none of them escaped.
She knew what this meant, and all the problems had been solved by the third brother.
The killer did not kill the third brother, and the third brother's disaster relief work in Qingshan Prefecture was going very smoothly. It wouldn't be long before all the refugees would be properly resettled.
That would be fine, but I don’t know what the third brother has done wrong. He actually started building water conservancy projects throughout the city.
It’s not that no one has proposed water conservancy project construction in the past, but it would require hundreds of thousands of people, and the manpower and material resources consumed should not be underestimated, even if the emperor made the decision casually.
But the third prince actually did it, and he did it so successfully. He did not ask the court to allocate a penny or a pound of grain, but let the refugees spontaneously build reservoirs and dig rivers.
This move by the Third Prince not only won the hearts of the local people in Qingshan Prefecture, but even the refugees praised him highly. When other prefectures heard about the construction of the water conservancy project, they also praised the Third Prince highly.
Needless to say, this situation is not favorable to them.
You should know that the reason why the third prince stayed in Qingshan Prefecture to provide disaster relief was because the emperor had issued an imperial decree. As long as the third prince successfully completed the disaster relief mission, he would be promoted to the crown prince when he arrived in the capital.
How could they tolerate this? They were still making preparations and thinking about fighting with the Third Prince.
But the Third Prince holds the imperial edict in his hand. They know very well that as long as the Third Prince comes from Qingshan Prefecture, the position of Crown Prince will belong to him. Then the fate of her, the First Prince and the Jiang family can be imagined.
No, she would never allow this to happen, the position of crown prince must belong to the eldest prince.
At this point, no matter how unwilling she was or how much feelings she had for the emperor, she had to take action against him.
