Zhao Qingqing felt that this incident hadn't stimulated Zhao Hu enough, so she immediately continued to speak.
"Zhao Hu, do you know that Minister Jiang, the one you framed and imprisoned, has been released by the Emperor after I heard that he already knows they were framed."
Just wait for the Emperor to find out and punish you; your good days are over.
When Zhao Hu heard the news, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Impossible. I did this perfectly. The Emperor could not possibly have traced it back to me. It's impossible."
Seeing Zhao Hu's terrified expression, Zhao Qingqing couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Just you wait! I'm not going to suffer with you anymore. I'll send a message to my parents and ask them to send someone to pick me up."
The only reason I was with you was because you were a general. Now, if the emperor punishes you, you'll be nothing. I'm not stupid; if I stay, I might be implicated by you.
Seeing Zhao Qingqing's expression, Zhao Hu sneered, "It's too late, it's already too late. No matter what, you'll have to come with me to the Yellow Springs."
Just then, a very loud noise came from outside. Ignoring the pain in her body, Zhao Qingqing suddenly sat up. She wanted to leave, but she had no strength at all.
She could only watch helplessly as the soldiers came to her side and took her away.
"Why are you arresting me? I haven't done anything wrong, I'm innocent!"
No matter how much she wailed and howled, the soldiers remained unmoved.
Jiang Jingyue, who was on the other side, happened to hear the sound and looked outside with some confusion.
"Your Majesty, is something happening outside? I hear someone crying!"
When Qi Yehan heard Jiang Jingyue ask this question, he raised an eyebrow, looked at her, and smiled as he spoke.
"Yueyue, I'll take you outside to see for yourself, and then you'll understand."
Seeing Ye Han's mysterious demeanor, Jiang Jingyue was immediately intrigued.
"Your Majesty, let's go out and take a look!"
Jiang Jingyue placed her hand in Qi Yehan's large hand, eagerly waiting for Qi Yehan to pull her out.
Jiang Jingyue really felt that she was being a bit lazy now; she didn't want to do anything herself if she could avoid doing it herself.
Qi Yehan suddenly pulled Jiang Jingyue into his arms, and without hesitation, he reached out to carry her out.
However, Jiang Jingyue stopped him this time. They weren't in the palace now, so it wouldn't be appropriate.
"Your Majesty, I can walk by myself. I don't need Your Majesty to carry me. Let's go out and take a look!"
Jiang Jingyue couldn't wait to grab Qi Yehan's hand and go outside to take a look, because she heard the wails outside getting louder and louder.
She was genuinely curious about what was happening outside.
Helpless, Qi Yehan could only let her pull him along. When they came outside, Jiang Jingyue saw a large group of soldiers dragging Zhao Hu and his group away, not knowing what they were going to do.
When Zhao Hu heard the noise, he immediately looked over.
He certainly recognized the Emperor, but what surprised him most was the gorgeously dressed woman standing next to him.
Zhao Hu stopped abruptly, and no matter how the soldiers tried to pull him, he wouldn't move.
After waiting for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes to the soldiers and ran towards the direction where Jiang Jingyue was.
As soon as he got there, he pointed at Jiang Jingyue and asked incredulously.
"Jiang Jingyue, why are you here? Is my condition due to you?"
Zhao Hu was extremely agitated. He couldn't accept it. He knew that if he were really taken away by these soldiers this time, he would definitely not have a good ending. So no matter what, he had to fight for himself.
Upon seeing the person in front of her, Jiang Jingyue rolled her eyes and sneered at him.
"Even if I did it, what can you do to me? You only have one way out now: death. Cherish the rest of your time!"
For some reason, Zhao Hu suddenly panicked when he heard Jiang Jingyue's words.
"Jiang Jingyue, why are you saying this? I haven't done anything wrong. Although this is slander, I can sue you."
Jiang Jingyue wasn't interested in what he was saying at all; instead, she looked at him and asked him questions.
"When you framed my parents, why didn't you say that the Emperor had already investigated and found out that you were the one who did it? Now you're in this situation, and you deserve what you got."
Not to mention Zhao Hu, Zhao Qingqing couldn't accept it either. She suddenly ran to Jiang Jingyue and knelt down.
"Jiang Jingyue, I was wrong. Please don't treat me like this. I didn't do anything wrong to you. Please let me go!"
"He did all the things your father and mother did, it has nothing to do with me, please, let me go!"
"All the things I did in the past were things I wronged you about, but these weren't things I wanted to do either. It was all his fault; he forced me into it."
The person Zhao Qingqing was pointing to was none other than Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu felt quite uncomfortable after being pointed at like that.
He never expected that this woman, whom he had always doted on, would push him out in order to survive. The thought filled Zhao Hu's eyes with gloom.
He stared fiercely at Zhao Qingqing. Unable to bear his gaze, Zhao Qingqing couldn't help but look away from Zhao Hu.
"Jiang Jingyue, please, let me go! I can tell you're pregnant. Don't worry, if you let me go, I'll pray for your baby every day so he can grow up healthy and safe."
Jiang Jingyue liked this sentence, so she nodded to Su Lin beside her.
Su Lin immediately understood.
"Su Lin, you understand what I mean, don't you!"
Su Lin looked at Jiang Jingyue with a serious expression, "Your Highness, please rest assured! This servant understands what you mean."
After saying this, Su Lin immediately addressed the soldiers behind him.
"Guards, take this person away. Since she wants to pray for the child in Consort Mei's womb, and Consort Mei is kind enough to agree, send her to the Imperial Ancestral Temple now! Let her pray for the child in Consort Mei's womb properly."
When Zhao Qingqing heard this, she was dumbfounded. The blessing she wanted was not like this at all!
What shocked her even more was that the concubine the servant mentioned seemed to be called Jiang Jingyue. Could a woman who had been married before still be a concubine?
Does that mean she can do it too?
