Chapter 128 Does the Emperor believe it?
Empress Dowager Wu took a deep breath, pushed Nanny Xiang away, grabbed Jiang Xinyue's hand and was about to throw her to the ground.
Hey!
This old lady is still arguing with her!
Jiang Xinyue's temper came out all of a sudden.
Empress Dowager Wu is a pampered woman, and has been pampered all her life. Even if there are three of her, they are not as strong as one Jiang Xinyue.
She wanted to grab Jiang Xinyue's hand and kick her in the stomach, but Jiang Xinyue grabbed her foot and asked her to do a standing split.
"Ahhhhh..."
The tearing pain made Empress Dowager Wu scream. She had no choice but to let go of Jiang Xinyue's hand and push her: "You lowly slave who committed treason, based on your behavior today, I will let the emperor kill you."
"Crack!"
Jiang Xinyue's bones were broken, and she gritted her teeth and pushed hard: "Then go quickly and see if the emperor believes you or me?"
"Your Majesty... The emperor is coming this way." Empress
Dowager Wu thought that as long as she stopped the people in Hexi Palace, no one would report to the emperor and complain to him.
But she forgot that the guards at the gate of Hexi Palace were all the emperor's people. They had received orders long ago that if Concubine Zhen was in danger, they should go to find him immediately.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Pa!"
The sound of heavy objects falling and slaps came from Concubine Zhen's bedroom. Emperor Xuanwu was extremely anxious. He changed from a quick walk to a trot, leaving Wang Dequan and the others far behind.
"Concubine Zhen, you bastard, you want to..."
"Bang!"
Jiang Xinyue had just let her hair fall and found a comfortable position to lie on the ground, when the door was violently kicked open. The mess on the
ground was in sight. Concubine Zhen's bedroom looked like it had been smashed by someone. Tables, chairs, and broken vases were all lying on the ground in a crooked manner.
Xi Que and Shuang Jiang held Concubine Zhen who had fallen to the ground. The three of them curled up into a ball, crying in fear: "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, please spare our queen! It was us...it was us who asked Guard Jin...Guard Jin to elope with Concubine Shu. If you want to beat or kill us, come at us. Our queen is pregnant with the emperor's dragon fetus! Please don't beat her anymore, wuwuwu..."
Xi Que had been with Jiang Xinyue for a long time and had seen how good she was at acting. Now that she was blessed, she started to act as well.
Shuangjiang protected Jiang Xinyue's belly: "No...it's me...I have an affair with...with Lord Jin Wuyong. I asked him to frame Concubine Shu. Empress Dowager...if you want to kill me, do it! It has nothing to do with our queen!"
She called him "Jin Wuyong" very well.
She called him by the wrong name because she was not familiar with Jin Shiwei. If she really had an affair, how could she call her lover's name wrong?
"What is the queen dowager doing? Are you dissatisfied with my punishment of Concubine Shu and come here to torture my beloved concubine into confessing?"
She didn't even call her mother, which showed how angry the emperor was.
Empress Dowager Wu felt dizzy and black in front of her eyes. She said weakly, "How could I dare to hit her? She lay on the ground, and it was my fault. She...she was fine! Your Majesty, she hit me, she hit me!" Empress
Dowager Wu rarely looked so hysterical and angry.
Emperor Xuanwu frowned and looked at Jiang Xinyue on the ground. He walked over quickly and helped her up with the help of Xi Que and Shuang Jiang.
"This..."
She lowered her head just now, and Emperor Xuanwu couldn't see clearly. Now she raised her head, and he saw that there was a blood mark on her neck and face, her hair was messy, and there was a slap mark on her face.
"This is what your mother said, that Concubine Zhen beat you?"
The emperor widened his eyes and pointed at Jiang Xinyue's neck: "Does the Queen Mother want to lie with her eyes open and say that Concubine Zhen cut herself? She was still pregnant with my child, but the Queen Mother treated her so cruelly. Am I too kind to the Queen Mother, causing you to think that you can beat or kill my woman at will?"
The Queen Mother Wu was so angry that tears flowed down her face. Just as Concubine Zhen said, she said that Concubine Zhen beat her herself, but would the emperor believe it?
One was the Queen Mother with a long history of bad deeds who always beat people in the past, and the other was the pregnant, innocent and kind-hearted concubine. Of course, the emperor believed Jiang Xinyue.
He was both distressed and angry: "Isn't your mother thinking about the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan? Tomorrow I will arrange people to send your mother to the Jiangnan Palace. After Concubine Zhen gives birth to the child, you can come back if you want!"
"You want to force me to leave the palace?"
Empress Dowager Wu looked at Emperor Xuanwu in disbelief: "Do you like this lying woman so much? Like her so much that you want to drive your mother out of the palace?"
"I have been very merciful."
Emperor Xuanwu looked at her angrily: "Mother, I dare to swear to the sky, aren't I here today to abort the baby in Concubine Zhen's belly? Mother, I swear on Wu Chengyi's life."
Jiang Xinyue: Really, the emperor knows how to stab.
Wu Chengyi is the only male in the Wu family. The greatest wish of Empress Dowager Wu in this life is to let Wu Chengyi come back from exile, continue the bloodline of the Wu family, and bring honor to the family.
And the kick she just kicked was aimed at Jiang Xinyue's belly. What else could it be if not to abort her child?
Empress Dowager Wu found out that no conspiracy or trickery would work on Jiang Xinyue. She was always so lucky that she could escape again and again.
Since the secret method didn't work, she would do it openly.
Even if she kicked Jiang Xinyue to miscarriage, what could the emperor do to her?
She was the Empress Dowager of the Great Yan Dynasty. The word "filial piety" alone could crush Emperor Xuanwu.
Now, the emperor also grabbed her vital point and made her swear.
She had a dark face, not understanding why the emperor, as her own son, did not understand her at all and forced her to this extent for a concubine.
"It seems that the queen mother dares not."
Emperor Xuanwu waved his sleeves and said, "Tang Shiliang, send the queen mother back to Kunning Palace. Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and find a few skilled people to help the queen mother pack her luggage. Tomorrow morning, I will arrange for the guards to pick her up at Kunning Palace." He
did not leave any room for the queen mother to refute.
"Wait!"
Jiang Xinyue called out to Empress Dowager Wu, who was being held by the palace maids, and walked out from behind the emperor, picking up the Empress Dowager's armor that had fallen on the ground: "This fell off when the Empress Dowager beat me just now. It looks very valuable. Don't forget to take it back, Empress Dowager."
The peacock green gemstone-studded armor was indeed Empress Dowager Wu's. Jiang Xinyue had pulled it off her fingers when she grabbed her feet just now. Empress
Dowager Wu's eyes fell on her clean, round and white fingers, her eyeballs shrank violently, and she could no longer say a word.
Concubine Zhen, she is too meticulous, no wonder Concubine Shu can't beat her.
No, it should be said that the one who can beat Concubine Zhen in this harem is probably not born yet.
The emperor was sure that it was Concubine Zhen who injured herself because he saw the armor on the ground!
After all, Concubine Zhen was not wearing any armor, so how could she have injured herself?
