Chapter 115 Ambition

It is said that servants are like their masters. These young palace maids and eunuchs are so kind. Can Concubine Zhen be bad?

That is definitely not the case.

Since Concubine Zhen is a good person, those who harm her are all bad people.

So when Emperor Xuanwu summoned her, she told him everything, without any favoritism, all the facts.

She thought so.

Originally, Concubine Zhen was sleeping well in the bedroom. Jiang Chuan just didn't want Concubine Zhen, who was overly frightened, to get up and deal with the Empress and others. As a servant, he should think about his master. What's wrong with him?

But Concubine Liang insisted that he was disrespectful to the Empress. Not only did she slap Jiang Chuan, she also kicked him, and Jiang Chuan's forehead was scratched on the ground.

After Concubine Zhen knew about it, she was right to be angry and afraid.

Like a child, she even said that she was afraid that Concubine Liang would become the leader of the four concubines in the future and she would be slapped frequently.

How pitiful.

Both maids said so, and Emperor Xuanwu believed it completely.

Concubine Liang was usually very affectionate with Concubine Zhen, but she was unexpectedly such a two-faced person in private.

She also did not care about the feelings of the eldest princess towards Concubine Zhen. What

made Emperor Xuanwu angry the most was that a mere concubine in the harem dared to guess the emperor's intentions and was sure that she was the leader of the four concubines.

Who gave her the confidence?

He just didn't let them get what they wanted.

"Emperor! Emperor!"

Wang Dequan had just arranged for someone to send Concubine Shu's dead fetus out of the palace when Empress Dowager Wu's mournful voice was heard at the gate of Chengqian Palace: "I want to execute Concubine Li Gui. She killed my grandson. You should issue an order to execute her quickly."

"Empress Dowager..."

Wang Dequan had tried his best to stop her, but Empress Dowager Wu barged in regardless. He did not dare to really touch the Empress Dowager's body. Before Nanny Xiang could retreat, Empress Dowager Wu had already barged in.

However, Empress Dowager Wu was so angry at this time that she did not notice that Nanny Xiang took the opportunity to go around Wang Dequan and retreated quietly.

The emperor withdrew his gaze from the doorway and cast a cold gaze on Empress Dowager Wu: "What good are you trying to do for Concubine Shu this time?"

His eyes were full of sarcasm, but Empress Dowager Wu pretended not to see it: "Without Prime Minister Song, no one in the Song family can take on this big tree. Concubine Li is not worthy of the title of Concubine. She caused Concubine Shu to lose a fully grown prince. Then she should be demoted to a concubine and Concubine Shu should be made a Concubine."

Emperor Xuanwu sneered: "What virtue does Concubine Shu have to be a Concubine? She gave birth to a freak for me, and I still want to make her a Concubine. Is mother crazy? If people all over the world find out in the future, do you want me to be laughed at?"

"I have blocked the news. No one outside will know what Concubine Shu gave birth to."

"I don't agree. Please go back, mother."

Empress Dowager Wu wanted to say something, but Emperor Xuanwu had already turned his back and was unwilling to communicate with her.

She was so angry that she smashed the vase beside her: "Then you have to give me an explanation. Did Concubine Shu's child die in vain? Emperor, you should not be ungrateful. Have you forgotten how Concubine Shu accompanied you and protected you?"

But Concubine Shu admitted that she didn't like him at all. Those were just ways for him to control him.

What about being nice to him and accompanying him, it was all fake.

Emperor Xuanwu closed his eyes, and felt that his heart was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

The corner of his mouth curled up with a sneer: "Wang Dequan, issue an order to demote Concubine Li to Concubine Li, punish her to copy the palace rules 200 times, and make her kneel outside the gate of Kunning Palace to apologize to Concubine Shu. Is your mother satisfied?"

That sneer made Empress Dowager Wu look shocked, and she actually had the illusion that her dirty thoughts were seen through.

No!

Impossible!

Even Concubine Shu didn't know that she wanted to use her grandson to replace her son, how could the emperor know?

Now that Concubine Shu's belly is gone, she can't let the emperor know.

Concubine Shu... Concubine Shu was sent back to Kunning Palace in that horrible state, which man could still have sympathy and love for her?

It seems that Concubine Shu is also useless as a chess piece.

Is the Wu family doomed to never recover?

No!

She still has Concubine Rong.

Although she asked Nanny Gui to teach Concubine Rong a lesson in Jingren Palace and punished her to kneel on broken porcelain pieces, they are blood relatives, and even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. Concubine Rong will listen to her. She

will...right!

In Yanqing Palace, after Concubine De coaxed the third prince to sleep, she picked up the small bellyband beside her and continued to embroider.

Cuiyin used a needle to light the oil lamp, and the light in the room became brighter. She walked to the bed and said, "My lady, please stop embroidering. It will hurt your eyes."

Concubine De smiled softly and shook her head, "It will only take half an hour. It will be fine."

Cuiyin stretched her head to take a look and said, "Roses? Is this for Concubine Zhen?"

After the crabapple trees in the garden were uprooted, the emperor had roses planted inside. After asking around, she found out that Concubine Zhen had planted a large area of ​​roses in her yard before she entered the palace.

Concubine Zhen liked roses, and the emperor liked Concubine Zhen, so crabapples became a thing of the past, and roses were already a favorite in his heart.

Defei nodded: "I don't know if she is pregnant with a little prince or a little princess, so I can only embroider two pieces of both styles. The bellybands for babies are very exquisite. I use soft brocade as the base, and then dye silk to embroider the flowers, so that they won't irritate their sensitive skin when they wear them."

Children have delicate skin, and they will get allergic rashes if they are not careful, which can be fatal sometimes.

Cuiyin said distressedly: "Empress Zhen is so beautiful, she should give birth to more princesses to inherit her beauty. No matter how much Your Majesty likes Empress Zhen, she should also take care of her own body."

Concubine Zhen wants to give birth to more princesses, so that their third prince will have fewer competitors.

The oldest prince in the palace is now the six-year-old Third Prince. The Fourth Prince is not mentioned. He has been living in the eunuch's residence and is raised by a little eunuch. At the age of five, he has no flesh on his body, is as thin as a monkey, and has yellow and black skin, like a little beggar. There

is also a Fifth Prince. Although he has a poor family background, he has been raised by the Empress, so he is a legitimate son.

If Concubine Zhen gave birth to a princess, the position of the crown prince would be either the legitimate son or the eldest son, and the Third Prince would always be one of them.

But if Concubine Zhen gave birth to the Sixth Prince, then the Third Prince would have one more fierce enemy.

Concubine De smiled again: "I hope she gives birth to a prince so that he can keep company with the Third Prince." Only when

a prince is born can one have ambition and desire.

And only when one has desire and ambition can one be involved in the disputes in the harem.

The Emperor said that Concubine Zhen was clean, but who was not clean before entering the palace?

It was the people in the palace who forced them to become unclean.

If Concubine Zhen also fought to the death with the people in the harem for her son, would the Emperor still think she was clean?

"But Concubine Zhen is a very nice person. She told Nanny Li that it would be better for you to be the head of the four concubines. I think Nanny Li will tell the emperor exactly what she said."

Everyone knows that Nanny Li is the emperor's person.
