Seeing that Jiang Jingyue liked it, the Empress Dowager was also very happy. It was worth all the long nights she had spent crocheting these clothes.
After Jiang Jingyue returned, she had Dong'er put away the clothes that the Empress Dowager had embroidered.
When the babies are born, they can wear them.
Meanwhile, in the Empress's palace, Wu Jing was extremely unwilling. She had worked on her plan for so long, and now it had all fallen apart. How could she accept this?
More importantly, Jiang Jingyue was actually a woman, and she was pregnant.
The thought that Jiang Jingyue's pregnancy would threaten her position made Wu Jing realize that she couldn't let Jiang Jingyue give birth to the child. So Wu Jing immediately spoke to Chunhua.
"Chunhua, at all costs, you must get rid of the child in Consort Jing's belly for me. We cannot let her give birth to the child. If she really gives birth to the child, my position as Empress will definitely be over. So this child must be removed no matter what."
Upon hearing Wu Jing's words, Chunhua immediately nodded. Having witnessed the Emperor's behavior today, she realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will take care of this matter. However, Your Majesty, I need to leave the palace to obtain the medicine we need discreetly outside the palace."
Upon hearing Chunhua mention medicine, Wu Jing immediately understood what Chunhua was planning to do.
She reached into her waist and took out the token, handing it to Chunhua.
"The tablet is here. Make arrangements as soon as possible. Within three days, I need to hear the news of Consort Jing's miscarriage."
Chunhua nodded. Once she got the medicine, making Consort Jing miscarry would be a simple matter. Her current worry was where to find the medicine.
But worrying now is useless; we can only leave the palace and think of another solution.
"Your Majesty, wait for my good news! I will definitely handle this matter well. I will leave the palace now."
As Wu Jing watched Chunhua's hurried departure, a chilling smile crept across her lips.
"Jiang Jingyue, you forced me to do this. I will not let you off. You and the child in your womb, you can all die. The Emperor can only belong to me."
These words were spoken to Wu Jing by herself. She always felt that since she was the Empress, the Emperor could only dote on her.
She didn't feel anything when she was out of favor with the other concubines, but now it's different. The emperor has a favored woman, and that woman isn't her. Wu Jing won't let that woman monopolize the emperor's favor forever.
The emperor can only favor her, and it can only be her.
When Chunhua returned, she had already brought the medicine she needed. She gave the medicine to Wu Jing, but Wu Jing shook her head and did not take the medicine.
"Since I have entrusted this matter entirely to you, I will not ask any further questions. You should know what to do when necessary."
Although the Empress did not say it explicitly, Chunhua knew what the Empress had left unsaid.
This kind of thing is definitely risky. The Empress hopes that if something really happens, she can step in and take the blame for herself.
Chunhua looked at Wu Jing and nodded affirmatively. After a moment of silence, she looked at Wu Jing and spoke.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I understand. If anything happens, I will definitely not let anything happen to Your Majesty."
Wu Jing nodded in satisfaction; this was exactly what she had been waiting for.
"Go ahead and make the arrangements! I hope to see the results as soon as possible."
The next day, when Jiang Jingyue was taking the medicine, she immediately noticed that the pregnancy-preserving medicine was abnormal, mainly because the taste was wrong.
"Tongzi, is there something wrong with this medicine?"
When the system heard Jiang Jingyue ask this question, it immediately began to identify the ingredients of the medicine.
"Host, this medicine contains safflower. Luckily you discovered it in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Upon hearing the sound of red flowers inside, Jiang Jingyue's face instantly turned cold, and she immediately shouted outside.
"Dongxia, come in quickly."
Upon hearing Jiang Jingyue's voice, Dong'er immediately ran in from outside. As soon as she entered, she hurriedly asked Jiang Jingyue.
"What's wrong, Master? What happened?"
Jiang Jingyue took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and then spoke.
"Dong'er, go and fetch the Emperor. Tell him I have something to discuss with him."
Dong'er was a little confused, but she also knew that since her master had said so, there must be a reason for it.
"My lord, please don't worry, I will go and fetch the Emperor right now."
When Fei Leng arrived, she saw Jiang Jingyue hiding under the covers, with the medicine on the table untouched.
Fei Leng assumed that Jiang Jingyue didn't want to drink the medicine because it was too bitter, which was why her maid was in such a hurry to find him.
Fei Leng didn't think much of it. He picked up the medicine from the table and walked to Jiang Jingyue's bedside. He gently pulled the blanket up and coaxed the little woman inside.
"What's wrong with Xiao Jing? Why does she suddenly refuse to take her medicine again? Is it because she finds it too hard to drink? Let's be patient a little longer. Once the baby is born, she won't have to take it anymore."
"I've already sent Su De outside the palace to buy you your favorite osmanthus cake. Once he brings it in, I'll have him deliver it to you. Now, please drink your medicine obediently, okay?"
Fei Leng is now treating Jiang Jingyue like a child, doing everything she can to cheer her up if she's unhappy.
