Chapter 210 Walls Have Ears
In the harem, the only one who dared to openly confront Concubine Chen was Concubine Ying.
Today, when I saw Concubine Chen paying respects to the six palaces, she was flattered by the concubines and was so proud of herself.
Concubine Ying would naturally find a way to tell Xiao Jingheng about this matter.
This has to be said, and the time has to be chosen.
The calmest moment for a man is right after sex.
When all the descendants are emptied out, the person will live a short life like a giant Buddha.
Being selfless like a saint, one is more likely to be influenced by advice.
So Concubine Ying took advantage of this opportunity to tell Xiao Jingheng what happened today in a roundabout way.
However, Xiao Jingheng did not seem surprised when he heard this.
He seemed to have known it all along, and said to Concubine Ying:
"I intend to make her my Imperial Concubine, and it is normal for others to hear the news and congratulate her in advance."
Having said this, it seemed that Concubine Ying was a little tactless and was trying to stir up trouble.
Later, Xiao Jingheng said that he was tired and asked someone to send Ying Fei back to the palace. Ying Fei didn't know what to say.
In fact, Ying Fei didn't need to say anything about the concubines flattering Chen Fei herself.
Today, someone had already told Xiao Jingheng in advance everything that happened during the greeting ceremony, in every detail.
Now that Concubine Ying had left, Xiao Jingheng changed into casual clothes and said he was going to see Concubine Chen.
Since he was leaving at night, he did not have palace servants following him closely.
He only brought Jiang Deshun and two guards, and they walked all the way to Yonghe Palace in the cool evening breeze.
When he reached the door, Kang Yubin, who was guarding the door, saw him.
He hurriedly showed courtesy to Xiao Jingheng, and then said with a smile:
"Why is the Emperor here at this time? I will go in and tell him..."
"No need." Xiao Jingheng waved his hand to stop him, "I will go in by myself."
At this moment, in the inner bedroom.
The Concubine Chen changed into her pajamas, drank milk, and was about to go to bed early when she suddenly heard bursts of shrill wails.
Concubine Xiao's child is now being raised by her side. For some reason, he keeps crying in the concubine's bedroom at night.
The concubine was annoyed by the crying and said angrily:
"Three wet nurses can't even coax a baby? Are they called here to work for the white-collar salary? Liuyue, go get someone to bring that little thing over here!"
The Concubine Chen spread the news urgently, and the wet nurse soon came to her room carrying the prince.
The Concubine Chen glanced at him impatiently, and seeing the child crying in the nurse's arms with a red face and hoarse voice, she put her soft hand on his temples and said with disgust:
"How do you all do your job? You can't do anything about it even though he's crying like this?"
The nurse said hurriedly, "The little prince's skin is dry and cracked in many places. Applying medicine can only alleviate some of the symptoms. He is always uncomfortable."
The little prince was born with wrinkles and was not pleasing to the eye because of herpes zoster.
At this moment, he burst into tears at the top of his voice, and his facial features were wrinkled together, making him look even uglier.
The concubine's eyes only fell on him for a moment, and the word "disdain" was written in her upward-rolling eyes.
"How can I sleep peacefully when this ugly thing is crying like this? If you can't coax him to sleep, I will stuff a piece of coarse cloth into his mouth and see how he can cry!"
"This..." The nurses looked at each other in fear.
But the Concubine Chen would not allow them to persuade her, "Are you still standing there? Throw him on the warm seat for me, and get out of here!"
She was very hot-tempered during her pregnancy, and no one dared to offend her.
The wet nurse had no choice but to place the little prince on the warm seat as instructed, and then she retreated with a heavy heart.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out the door, they ran into Xiao Jingheng standing in the corridor.
They were about to open their mouths to greet him, but saw Xiao Jingheng gesturing to them to keep quiet.
Xiao Jingheng's face was filled with gloom, and his brows were furrowed tightly, forming wrinkles.
After taking a deep look at the window frame, he turned around and left in anger.
Jiang Deshun followed closely behind Xiao Jingheng. Before leaving Yonghe Palace, he told Kang Yubin:
"No one in Yonghe Palace is allowed to mention the emperor's visit tonight to the Empress Chen. If this matter gets to the Empress Chen's ears, you'd better move with your head in danger!"
Kang Yubin smiled humbly and replied repeatedly: "Please light it, Eunuch Kang. I understand!"
On the way back to the palace from Yonghe Palace, Xiao Jingheng kept a straight face and said nothing, walking very fast.
It was obvious that he was angry.
In the past, the Concubine Chen insisted on keeping the snake fetus. Xiao Jingheng thought that she loved him so much that she couldn't bear to hurt the children born to him by other women.
But when I saw her today, I realized that Concubine Chen hated that child so much.
This shows that her intention to save the child's life was just a show in front of him.
Xiao Jingheng has always known that
As an emperor, with all the power in his body, it is difficult to be sincere.
Looking at his harem, it seems that everyone is scheming for their own glory and future.
Only Song Zhao treated him sincerely without asking for anything else.
But how could he know what the scene would be like in the bedroom of Yonghe Palace after he left?
