This hunt didn't end perfectly; Fei Leng certainly didn't think it was a happy ending, but Jiang Jingyue thoroughly enjoyed the barbecue.
"Your Majesty, if there are any more events like this, please remember to bring me along. I would love it."
Jiang Jingyue liked it, but Fei Leng didn't. He was on tenterhooks all day hunting, afraid that something might happen to Jiang Jingyue again. It was obvious that the group of people they met today were after Jiang Jingyue, which was why Fei Leng was so worried.
When Fei Leng returned to the palace, he breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to the outside, the palace was much safer.
But Fei Leng didn't know that the palace was not a safe place either.
Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. All the concubines in the palace and the ministers outside the palace have brought their families to the palace to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday.
Wu Jing had been planning for a long time and finally found an opportunity today. There were many people at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, which was the perfect time to expose Jiang Jingyue.
After Jiang Jingyue finished dressing up, she went to the Empress Dowager's palace. The Empress Dowager was overjoyed when she saw Jiang Jingyue.
"Mama Ming, quickly bring a chair for Consort Jing. She can't stand for too long."
At this moment, many other concubines from the palace had arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace. Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's words, they couldn't help but look at Jiang Jingyue.
Jiang Jingyue remained calm. She had already discussed it with Fei Leng and decided to announce the news when the baby was three months old, so as to ensure the baby's safety.
Fei Leng felt the same way, believing that it would be better for both Jiang Jingyue and the child to wait until the situation was more stable before making an announcement.
Wu Jing hadn't expected the Empress Dowager to be so kind to Consort Jing. She couldn't help but wonder how the Empress Dowager would react when she found out that Consort Jing was a man.
Thinking of this, Wu Jing felt a sense of anticipation. She slowly stood up, looked at the Empress Dowager, and spoke.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you."
The Empress Dowager's mind was completely focused on Jiang Jingyue, so when she heard Wu Jing say that, she immediately waved her hand, not wanting to listen at all.
Seeing the Empress Dowager's behavior, Wu Jing was so angry that her face turned green. Just as she was about to throw caution to the wind and blurt out everything, Fei Leng stopped her.
As soon as Fei Leng entered, he went to Jiang Jingyue's side and reached out to help her up.
Seeing this scene, Wu Jing was so jealous that her eyes turned red. As the Empress, she had never had the chance to be personally helped by the Emperor, while Jiang Jingyue was just a minor concubine, yet the Emperor personally helped her.
This scene provoked Wu Jing even more. She had originally planned to say it in the Empress Dowager's palace, but now she changed her mind. She would go to the main hall and say it directly, so that everyone would know about the Emperor and the young marquis.
Wu Jing could imagine that if everyone knew about this, the young marquis would definitely die of shame, and the thought of it made her incredibly excited.
"Mother, the birthday banquet is about to begin. I've come to fetch you."
The Empress Dowager slowly stood up and stood next to Fei Leng, who was holding Jiang Jingyue's hand.
Wu Jing, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand seeing Fei Leng and Jiang Jingyue like this. She suddenly rushed to Fei Leng's side and bumped into Jiang Jingyue. Jiang Jingyue was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground from the sudden bump.
Fei Leng acted swiftly, immediately pulling her into his arms.
Holding Jiang Jingyue in his arms, Fei Leng finally felt relieved. He had been terrified just now.
He turned his head and gave Wu Jing a cold look.
"Empress, what are you doing, barging in like this? If anything happens to Consort Jing, I will exterminate your entire family."
As soon as Fei Leng said those words, Wu Jing's face turned deathly pale, and her lips trembled uncontrollably. She never expected that the Emperor would treat her like this for the sake of a man.
"Your Majesty, how can you do this to me? I am your Empress. How can you be so affectionate with a concubine in front of me? Have you ever considered my feelings?"
Upon hearing her question, Fei Leng gave her a cold glance and said something that sent chills down Wu Jing's spine.
"Don't worry, that won't be the case for long. Besides, I am the Emperor. What I want to do is none of your business, even if you are a mere concubine. Even though you are the Empress now, you have no right to interfere with me."
Fei Leng's words left Wu Jing speechless. She felt that the Emperor was acting this way because he had been bewitched by Jiang Jingyue, and that the Emperor was not like this before.
"Your Majesty, did this woman give you some kind of bewitching drug? Otherwise, how could you have become like this? Your Majesty, you can't continue to be so stubborn!"
After saying this, Wu Jing lunged at Fei Leng, intending to push Jiang Jingyue away, but Fei Leng was faster. In the instant Wu Jing lunged, Fei Leng had already moved away while holding Jiang Jingyue.
Fei Leng looked at Wu Jing, who was still pestering him, and kicked her hard.
"Empress, don't go too far. I think you're tired of sitting in this position for too long, that's why you dare to be so audacious."
At this moment, Wu Jing was lying on the ground and almost couldn't get up. It was her maid who came to her side and helped her up. Otherwise, she might have had to lie there forever.
"Your Majesty, perhaps we should just let it go! The Emperor dotes on her now, and we can't possibly compete with her."
As soon as Chunhua said that, Wu Jing sneered.
