"Sister, you're right, come on, come with us. Hurry up!" Jiang Meiren was reluctantly dragged away by the two women.
"Kneel down!" As soon as they arrived at Yongshou Palace, the four Consorts of Fulu quickly made her kneel down.
"Don't be so fierce, little sister. Let's hear what's really going on with her." Qiao Siyu was initially very surprised by this, but after everything that had happened, she'd now adopted a more casual, gossipy attitude. After all, it didn't really concern her; she could just listen and see. Besides, if she really was pregnant with General Xu's child, then neither of them could protect it.
Jiang Meiren knelt on the ground, wiping away snot and tears, and said tremblingly, "My family fell into poverty, and I was originally a woman who frequented brothels. But fortunately, General Xu saved me, so that I wouldn't have to live in brothels forever. At that time, I was only 12 years old. Later, I was taken to General Xu's mansion and carefully taught. It wasn't until I turned 15 that General Xu sent me to the palace. Originally, I was supposed to be a concubine of the late king, but the late king was seriously poisoned, and in order not to implicate the people in the harem, he did not add any concubines other than the two he already had."
"What nonsense are you spouting? What rubbish are you talking about? Just get straight to the point. I don't want to hear your romantic love story. Just tell me, you were originally sent to the palace. And then why did you end up with him?" Fu Lu Si Yue was really impatient. If Jiang Meiren didn't explain the whole story clearly, how could this matter be resolved?
"Your Majesty, please don't be hasty, let me tell you slowly. I've never had any older brothers or sisters since I was little, let alone any playmates. It was General Xu who took care of me in his mansion, and over time, I developed feelings for him. But General Xu warned me that his wife would definitely be a lady from a noble family, not someone of my status. Later, under General Xu's constant persuasion, I agreed to go to the palace to be their inside man."
"It wasn't until later, after the Emperor of Qi ascended the throne, that I became Consort Jiang through a selection process. This servant knows I have done something wrong, and begs for the protection of both Your Highnesses!" Consort Jiang said, kowtowing repeatedly to the ground.
"You're pregnant, please get up. I'll discuss this with Consort Zhaoyi first. Wipe away your tears and go back. We won't mention this to anyone. However, our power is limited, and we might not be able to help you in the end. Wipe away your tears. If you leave the palace like this, what will people say? We won't be able to explain ourselves." Consort Jiang stood up, straightened herself, and left with her head down.
