Chapter 1326 The Concubine Should Not Be a Great Enemy (1)
"Oh no! The concubine fainted!" As soon as Shi Chu crossed over to this world, she heard someone shouting in panic in her ear, followed by footsteps, noise, quarrels, and panic. Shi Chu thought that since the original owner had fainted, she might as well continue to "stay unconscious" to avoid facing the messy scene after waking up.
She felt someone carrying her onto a sedan chair, and then she was carried back to an inner palace, where she lay on a comfortable and soft bed. Then the old doctor took her pulse and said that she was "too sad to faint", and told her to rest well...
So Shi Chu naturally fell asleep and had a comfortable sleep.
She woke up three hours later, but was not in a hurry to get up. She lay on the comfortable big bed and began to receive the original owner's memories.
The original owner had just been promoted to the rank of imperial concubine three days ago. After the death of the late emperor, she knelt in front of the spirit for three days, crying her heart out. Of course, although she was also sad about the death of the late emperor, she was more worried about her destined lonely and miserable fate in the future. After all, she had no biological children of her own, and could not be taken out of the palace by her children. She would have to be locked up in a small corner of the harem and spend the rest of her life alone. How could the original owner, who was still young and only in her early thirties, not despair?
That's why she fainted from crying, and the imperial physician was right when he said she was too sad.
It was indeed a pity that the original owner became a concubine when she was only in her early thirties. However, if she had been more open-minded and contented herself with life, she could have lived a peaceful life. After all, the new emperor was a kind-hearted person, unlike the previous emperor who was suspicious and paranoid. Moreover, the original owner had once helped the new emperor. For this reason, the new emperor would not treat her badly.
However, the original owner did not like the lonely and desolate life of a widow. When she saw the new emperor's concubines, some fat and some thin, she always felt sorry for herself for wasting her time in the palace and regretted not seizing the opportunity to have a child when she was young.
Perhaps her thoughts were seen through by others, so Wen Congyun, a less favored concubine of the new emperor, set her sights on her.
Wen Congyun was more pretty than beautiful. She was not as dignified and noble as the empress, nor as beautiful and passionate as the imperial concubine. Therefore, even though she gave birth to a prince, she was still not very prominent in the emperor's harem. The emperor could only see her once or twice a month because she gave birth to the third prince.
Although she was not favored, Wen Congyun was not a person without any plans. She was scheming and good at disguise, otherwise she would not have successfully given birth to the third prince when she was not favored. And even after having a prince, she was not too hostile to the concubines in the harem. This was her ability.
She keenly noticed that the original owner did not like being lonely, so she tried every means to get close to the original owner, and often brought her son to accompany the original owner. She eloquently praised the original owner's fate with the third prince, saying that they looked like "grandparents and grandchildren", which made the original owner fall in love with the third prince. Gradually, she really treated him as her own grandson and loved him. From time to time, she also talked about the third prince's interesting stories in front of the emperor, successfully getting the third prince noticed by the emperor.
This was not enough. When the relationship between the original owner and the third prince became deeper, Wen Congyun would teach the third prince to complain to the original owner from time to time: being bullied by his elder brother, his mother was not favored, he did not have enough money, he had not seen his father for a long time and missed him very much...
The original owner naturally felt very distressed when she heard about the Third Prince's "difficulties", so she helped him to retaliate when he was bullied; if he had no money, she would give it to him; if he missed the emperor? Then she would take the Third Prince to see him...
Before the original owner noticed, she had already helped the third prince successfully gain many benefits in the palace.
When the Third Prince was young, these were trivial matters and did not bother the original owner in any way. But when the Third Prince grew up, his ambitions grew, and he began to compete with his brothers for the throne.
However, Wen Congyun's family background was simple, and his father and brother were only minor officials. They could not give much support to their cause of seizing the throne. The third prince was not married yet, and could not rely on the power of the Yue family. So the original owner became a puppet at their disposal. Of course, Wen Congyun and the third prince were very capable, and the original owner did not realize that she was being used. She thought that she was willing to support the third prince, willing to make connections for him, willing to give him money to win over officials, and willing to help him frame other brothers.
The original owner's family background was not simple. Her father and brother were generals guarding the border, and her mother's family was a wealthy imperial merchant family, so she had no shortage of money and power.
The reason why Wen Congyun and the third prince targeted her was because of her family background, and she was indeed deceived by these two people and was willing to help them seize the throne.
With her full support, the Third Prince finally succeeded in ascending to the throne. The original owner thought that since she had given so much to the Third Prince, she would definitely be more respected and loved by him.
However, the facts were exactly the opposite of what she thought. After the Third Prince came to power, instead of being grateful to her, he repaid her with hatred and falsely accused her mother's family of collaborating with foreign enemies in rebellion. He exterminated her mother's family and nine clans of her maternal family and outside families. Even she was forced to drink poisoned wine, saying that she committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
The original owner could not understand until her death why the Third Prince, whom she had loved as her own grandson since childhood, would eventually destroy her family. Could it be that even though she had done her best to help him, he was not grateful to her?
How could she have thought that it was because of her unremitting help that the Third Prince realized that her family was too powerful at the border and had become more powerful than the master. The soldiers at the border only knew the Lu family, not the royal family. How could the Third Prince feel at ease? Moreover, the original owner's maternal family was a wealthy imperial merchant. If these two families joined forces, they would have military power and money. Wouldn't it be easy for them to rebel?
Wen Congyun and the third prince saw this hidden danger, so they mercilessly found an excuse to destroy the two families. What kind of favor was that? What a joke. Isn't it the duty of every subject to serve the emperor until death? What kind of favor was that?
Thus, the original owner's nine clans were wiped out just because they helped such a heartless and ungrateful person to ascend the throne. The original owner could not die in peace.
After Shi Chu received the original owner's life memories, he couldn't help but sigh. She was such a big wronged person. She used her power and wealth to push an ungrateful villain to the throne, which ended up causing the death of all her family members. If it were her, she would really become a ghost and would not let Wen Congyun and the third prince and his mother go.
Fortunately, she traveled through time in time and did not travel through to the later period when she was fully assisting the Third Prince in seizing the throne. Otherwise, Shi Chu would not be able to suppress the urge to destroy her character and directly get rid of the Third Prince and Wen Congyun.
However, it is absolutely impossible for the mother and son to use her again in this life. I hope they can find another enemy as useful and stupid as the original owner.
