Chapter 9 Xihe is not a disaster star!
Emperor Jingyuan's already irritable mood turned even colder. He handed Xihe to Concubine Chen, who was traveling with him, and then kicked Concubine Cheng over. He raised his foot and stepped on her chest, applying more force. He stared at her with cold and arrogant eyes, and spoke with a layer of ice, "Who allowed you to touch Xihe?"
Lady Cheng trembled with pain, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty only wanted to discipline the child."
Emperor Jingyuan snorted coldly, his voice carrying a hint of ghostliness, "Discipline? Your discipline means beating her from time to time. Did you slap a sick Xihe?"
"Your Majesty, your concubine..." Concubine Cheng suddenly shrank back and spoke incoherently. She didn't expect that Emperor Jingyuan knew everything.
Emperor Jingyuan was too lazy to listen to this woman's pointless excuses. He turned around and said, "Issue an order. Concubine Cheng has murdered the imperial heir. She shall be demoted to a commoner and thrown into the Lion and Tiger Park."
Emperor Jingyuan originally wanted to dismember this bitch, but considering that Xihe was still alive, he was afraid of scaring his little daughter, so he changed his plan.
The lion and tiger park is full of ferocious beasts donated by various countries. The people thrown in there suffer worse than death.
Concubine Cheng was stunned. She didn't believe that the emperor could be so heartless. She cried and hugged Emperor Jingyuan's thigh, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I ate the wrong thing. Please forgive me for the sake of the little princess who is still young and cannot leave her mother."
Xihe was in Concubine Chen's arms. She raised her head from her bosom and looked towards Concubine Cheng. She said in a baby voice, "Mother, Xihe is not separated from you. Xihe has always lived alone."
Concubine Chen touched Xihe's head and asked softly, "Xihe has lived alone since childhood?"
When Xihe saw the Beauty Queen asking her, she immediately perked up, "Yes, Beauty Queen, Xihe lives there."
Everyone looked in the direction Xihe pointed and saw a dilapidated hut, which was even more shabby than the places where the palace maids and eunuchs lived. This showed how cruel Concubine Cheng was to her daughter. She didn't even give her a better house and left the half-grown child to fend for herself.
Emperor Jingyuan's face suddenly turned gloomy. Perhaps Concubine Cheng knew that her situation was hopeless, and she collapsed to the ground.
The next second, her face suddenly became ferocious. She pounced in front of Concubine Chen while no one was paying attention, and stretched out her hand to grab Xihe. Concubine Chen had practiced martial arts, so she was the first to react. She dodged Cheng Meiren by moving sideways.
"Hurry up and catch Cheng Meiren."
Concubine Cheng was restrained by the guards, but she kept cursing, "You are a calamity star. You caused me a difficult labor when I gave birth to you. I can never have children again in this life. Instead of helping me win my favor, you brought me to this point. You are an evil star. Giving birth to you has brought me eight lifetimes of bad luck. Go to hell, go to hell."
Concubine Yun Shu, who was standing silently in the corner, looked at the old nanny beside her and sneered. They thought they would get nothing today, but they didn't expect that the fool Concubine Cheng would help them when she was about to die.
Seeing that Emperor Jingyuan hadn't spoken for a long time and showed no signs of anger, Concubine Yun Shu boldly took a step forward. The old nanny beside her quietly retreated while no one was paying attention.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not. Although this beautiful lady Cheng is rebellious, her words may not be false."
Emperor Jingyuan raised his eyelids and glanced at Concubine Yun Shu lightly, and the storm hidden under the black ink was concealed.
"What do you want to say?"
Emperor Jingyuan didn't react at all. Concubine Yun Shu was unsure of what he meant, but when she thought of her own status and her daughter's complaint, she became more confident.
As long as Zhao Xihe is gone, her daughter will still be the only one favored.
Concubine Yun Shu took a deep breath and said, "The day the Sixth Princess escaped from the cold palace, a strange illness broke out in the harem, and several palace maids died inexplicably. On the day we were given the name, a small country harassed the border, catching us off guard and resulting in the loss of many soldiers. This... doesn't seem like a coincidence."
Concubine Chen glanced at Concubine Yun Shu, who could not hide her thoughts, and then looked at Emperor Jingyuan who was staring intently, and she was undecided for a moment.
This matter can be big or small, it all depends on your Majesty's attitude.
"Shufei has a really good imagination. It's amazing that you can think of so many things." How could Concubine Chen not see what Yun Shufei was planning? Relying on the fact that she is the niece of the Empress Dowager and the cousin of His Majesty, she has done a lot of things. The young heir of Emperor Jingyuan has more or less some relationship with Yun Shufei. Now she is targeting Xihe for the sake of the fourth princess.
Emperor Jingyuan didn't say anything. Concubine Yun Shu calculated the time and estimated that it was about time. She looked at Xihe with resentful eyes and curled up a strange smile.
Since you bumped into me, you can't blame me.
Suddenly, a young eunuch rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The lock of the lion and tiger enclosure has suddenly broken, and many ferocious beasts have escaped, injuring many palace servants along the way."
Concubine Yun Shu sneered in her heart, it’s finally here.
"Your Majesty, look, you just saved the little princess, and something happened in the lion and tiger park. This little princess might be really unlucky. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and stay away from this evil star."
Concubine Yun Shu seemed frightened and quickly took two steps back. Everyone seemed to believe it and quietly moved their positions.
"Your Majesty, please believe me. She is really an evil star. She is the one who made me like this. Your Majesty, please kill her." Concubine Cheng was forced to kneel on the ground, but she was still shouting at the top of her lungs.
Concubine Chen's beautiful face was distorted by anger.
Is this beauty Cheng crazy? It's okay for Concubine Yun Shu, she is Xihe's biological mother, but she actually framed her own daughter like this.
Concubine Chen looked at the little meat ball in her arms, and her heart softened. "Your Majesty, this may just be a coincidence, and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Xihe. If Xihe is really an evil star, then why is Concubine Cheng, who has lived with Xihe for five years, still standing here and speaking such outrageous words?"
Xihe pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes as she stared at Emperor Jingyuan. "Daddy, Xihe is not a disaster star. Why did Mother say Xihe was a disaster star? Mother is so bad! Xihe doesn't want Mother anymore, wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu."
Emperor Jingyuan was immediately touched by his little daughter's aggrieved look. He held her in his arms and comforted her carefully, "Be good, Xihe."
Her arms suddenly felt empty, and Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had won the bet.
Concubine Yun Shu suddenly became anxious. "The lion and tiger enclosure is under the supervision of a dedicated person. This has never happened before. How could it happen to break down today? Little Princess, please stop making excuses."
"I'm also curious why it broke down today, as if it was planned, exactly as planned."
Emperor Jingyuan glanced at Concubine Yun Shu with a half-smile. At one glance, Concubine Yun Shu's face turned pale and she was shocked. Could it be that His Majesty knew about this? This was impossible. Only she and the nanny knew about this.
"Shufei, why do you think I believe in ghosts and gods?" Ever since Emperor Jingyuan ascended the throne, he has been fond of killing, executing anyone who displeases him. He can be called a tyrant. If he truly believed in ghosts and gods, how could he be so unscrupulous?
Sanping had a few chairs brought over, and Emperor Jingyuan sat down with his little daughter in his arms. He took the ointment and gently applied it on Xihe's cheeks. Without even looking up, he said, "Since Concubine Shu mentioned these things, Sanping will go and investigate."
"I'll do it right away."
Concubine Chen looked at Concubine Yun with deep meaning, and regardless of her shaky body, she found a chair to sit down and started teasing Xihe.
This Concubine Yun Shu must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. She actually used this kind of ghost and god talk to confuse people. She didn't even look at who she was facing. If we were to say who is the most violent person in the world, it must be Emperor Jingyuan.
