Chapter 427: Concubine Shi is Exposed

"I'm afraid Concubine Shi has done much more than this."

Xi Que clapped her hands. Two maids came in with an old acquaintance. She lowered her head and laughed softly.

"Madam Tong Jia, you insisted on seeing our queen in the cold palace. Now that the emperor is here, if you have any grievances, just tell him!"

Tong Jia's appearance instantly changed Concubine Shi's face. Her crying face was distorted for a moment.

Tong Jia looked at Shi Fei with eyes full of hatred: "Shi Yanlan, I thought you were my best sister. I have helped you so many times in all these years since I entered the palace. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have revealed my pregnancy that year. As a result, I fell into the hands of that bitch De Fei. Have I ever blamed you? Why did you

hurt me like this?" Shi Fei's eyes were wandering with guilt, but she didn't dare to confront Tong Jia: "What does it have to do with me? You are stupid, what have I done to you? Did I let you frame the Queen Mother? You have evil intentions, don't use me as a cover for your shame "

Tong Jia burst into tears first: "I just thought that my sincerity was wasted. I was naive and thought there was true love in this deep palace. It was indeed my own stupidity."

Then, she immediately stared: "But I would find someone to expose the Queen Mother at the beginning. Didn't you say that your uncle accidentally discovered that the Queen Mother had an affair with an actor, and you asked me not to tell others, so I fell into the trap you set for me, didn't you?"

Shi Fei thought that the matter would end when Tong Jia was sent to the cold palace, but she didn't know that Jiang Xinyue had someone investigate outside the palace in private.

Not long ago, it was found that the people who testified were all bought by the Shi family. They were given to the Tong Mansion by the Shi family for free and deliberately let Tong Jia expose it.

Jiang Xinyue immediately ordered people to tell the truth to Tong Jia, who was struggling to survive in the cold palace. Only then did she realize that it was her best friend who deceived her.

"It's... it's you... I..."

"Ah!"

The emperor kicked Concubine Shi away: "Evil woman, Yue'er is kind-hearted and amiable. Everyone in the palace praises her. With her taking care of the harem, I don't have to worry about my descendants in the previous dynasty. What are you dissatisfied with?"

He was full of sarcasm and curled his lips indifferently: "Do you think that if something happens to Yue'er, I will make you the queen? I tell you, if anything happens to Yue'er, I swear by my ancestors that my position as queen will be forever vacant, and no one... will ever become my empress again."

A hundred years later, the only one who will be buried with him will be Jiang Xinyue.

The weight of these words was like a thousand troops rushing through Shi Fei's heart. She half leaned on the ground and half stood up: "Do you think... do you think I want to kill Jiang Xinyue just because I want to be your queen?"

Shi Fei cried and laughed: "At that time, the late emperor only had you as a prince, and there were countless people in the Shen clan coveting the throne. The late emperor intended to succeed several sons of the Shen clan as princes to compete with you for the throne. It was the Empress Dowager who went to the Zhenbei General's Mansion in person to ask for marriage, saying that you would treat me well. My father disagreed, but I was willing to be your concubine. If you hadn't got the support of the late queen, Li Guifei, and our Shi family, would you have been able to sit on the throne with the poor Wu family?"

"They are not stupid. I am the only stupid one. When I could ask for power, I begged you to love me. After seeing your true face, I wanted to ask for power again, but the concubines in the palace became more and more numerous and more and more beautiful. I missed the opportunity long ago. I originally thought that everyone was the same and could not get your love, so it would be nice to live a peaceful and stable life like this."

"But...but why are you so partial to Jiang Xinyue? What else is good about her except her face? Does she have the magnanimity of the late emperor? Does she have the prominent family background of Concubine Li? Does she love you so much and help you unconditionally? She has nothing, why did you kill the late emperor? Why her?"

The late emperor... was killed by the emperor?

Tong Jia's mouth trembled as if she had heard some secret that could not be known to others.

Shi Yanlan...

She even knew about this, but she didn't tell her. It turns out that she really never considered herself a friend.

The emperor frowned fiercely, but Concubine Shi stood up shakily: "It's good now. That bitch Jiang Xinyue is going to die. You have let me down, and you deserve not to get the woman I love the most. Good death! She died well! Hahahaha..."

If that bitch Jiang Xinyue was not going to die soon, she would not be able to hurt the emperor's heart like this.

She seemed to want to vent all the resentment she had accumulated over the years: "Jiang Xinyue is kind-hearted? Which concubine who entered the palace was vicious when she first entered the palace? It was your harem that flattered the powerful and bullied the weak, and the concubines at the bottom were bullied. What's wrong with us becoming bad? You are wrong! It was you who chose all these women to enter the palace, but let us waste our years in the deep palace, and you still wish you and other women a happy marriage? Then what are we? Your background board?"

"What are you trying to say?"

Jiang Xinyue couldn't stand it anymore, she threw back the quilt and got out of bed: "Entering the palace is your own choice. If you really don't want to enter the palace, you can pretend to be sick, get engaged in advance, or try to make yourself lose the selection process. Can the emperor still put a knife on your neck to threaten you to enter the palace? You want to fight for a future, but you put all the mistakes on the emperor. Isn't it too unfair to the emperor?"

Although she felt in her heart that this damn feudal society buried too many women's lives, it was the society that was like this, not the individual's fault!

If this was in the future, which man dared to marry so many wives, the social law would punish him without women taking action.

But this is not the case. This is an era where polygamy is not illegal. It is a feudal dynasty under the rule of imperial power.

Rich people can have one wife and two concubines, let alone the emperor?

Jiang Xinyue is not hypocritical. Even if she wants the emperor to favor her alone, she must use all means to make him fall in love with her. Otherwise, she herself thinks, why should the emperor be devoted to her?

It can only be said that she will not let herself become a self-pitying and complaining woman. She will try her best to get everything she wants without actively hurting others.

If she really can't get it, then she will not ask for the mirror flowers and water moons, guarding her own one mu and three mu of land, and try to make her life better.

"You...you..."

Concubine Shi took a few steps back, her voice sharp: "You are not dead?"

"Sorry, I won't die even if you die."

Xi Que and Shuangjiang came forward from the left and right to change Jiang Xinyue's clothes and put on a black phoenix robe for her.

When the domineering aura came out, Princess Shi was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she still held on: "You...you are pretending, you are not poisoned at all, right?"

That's not the case. She went to the door of Prince Yan and found that she couldn't go back. She also had a child to worry about, so she chose to come back.

The emperor had better be good to her, otherwise...
