Chapter 108 Concubine Liu was deposed
Facing Concubine Liu's face that showed the arrogance of a villain who had succeeded, Murong Qing gathered all his strength, raised his arm high, and slapped her hard!
"ah!"
Concubine Liu's eyes suddenly widened, obviously not expecting that the eldest princess would actually take action.
But she had just put her face forward and had no time to dodge. She almost watched the slap fall and hit her face!
In an instant, Concubine Liu felt a sharp pain on her cheek and was slapped to the ground.
She screamed.
Covering her burning cheek with one hand and her lower abdomen with the other, she turned back to look at Murong Qing in anger and shame.
"You, you dare to hit me?! Ah... My stomach, my stomach hurts! Imperial physician, quickly call the imperial physician..."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the eunuch serving beside Concubine Liu immediately hurried out.
He was probably going to inform the emperor.
There was no way Jiang Wanning would let him leave the yard, so he said in a deep voice.
"Xing'er, stop him!"
In order to be an honest and obedient slave who would not complain when she could take action, Xing'er has specially worshipped a master these days and has worked hard to practice her skills.
Now, it might be a little difficult for her to fight the guards.
But teaching a few palace maids and eunuchs a lesson is a very easy thing to do.
After hearing the Marquis's wife's order, Xing'er quickly chased after the eunuch without waiting for him to leave the yard, grabbed his arm, twisted it with her backhand, and pressed him against the pillar!
"You want to leave? No way!"
"It hurts, it hurts..."
The eunuch suddenly grimaced, his hands were handcuffed behind his back, and his face was pressed against the pillar, unable to move.
I don't know what kind of tricks Xing'er used. She obviously wasn't very strong, but he couldn't get free no matter how hard he struggled.
Seeing this, Concubine Liu's face darkened again and she glared at Jiang Wanning.
"Jiang, how dare you! This is the Imperial Palace, not the Marquis' Residence. How dare you be so disrespectful to me?"
Jiang Wanning shook his sleeves lightly, stepped forward, and sneered.
"I've been acting so recklessly for a long time, and this isn't the first time you've met me. Besides, I didn't do anything wrong. It was the princess who hit you, not me.
You are just a little concubine, and you offended the eldest princess. You deserve to be taught a lesson!"
After saying that.
Jiang Wanning turned around and waved to Murong Qing, signaling.
"Hit again."
Murong Qing raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Wanning, as if asking a question.
Is it really possible?
The slap just now was not enough to cause Concubine Liu to have a miscarriage, but if she was hit a few more times, she couldn't guarantee it would happen.
Jiang Wanning nodded at her and told her to go ahead with confidence.
Revenge when there is a grudge; revenge when there is a vengeance.
Let out your anger!
After receiving the instructions from the Marquis's wife, Murong Qing was not sure how the situation would end, but she firmly believed that the Marquis's wife would never harm her.
So the next second.
Murong Qing took two steps forward without hesitation, grabbed Concubine Liu's clothes, and slapped her again!
Damn treacherous concubine!
He actually framed Concubine Li and wanted to force her to death!
Concubine Li is such a kind person, delicate and gentle, making people want to cherish her. Even though she is in a high position, she has never treated any concubine harshly and has always taken good care of everyone.
The dog emperor actually believed the slander of the treacherous concubine, beat Concubine Li, and even said that he would depose her and send her to the cold palace!
It's really infuriating.
No matter how good her temper was, she couldn't help it this time.
“Snap! Snap!”
Before Concubine Liu could react, she was slapped twice in the face.
She hesitated for a long while before hurriedly raising her hand to grab Murong Qing's wrist.
Said in shock and anger.
"I'm pregnant with His Majesty's son, and you dare to murder the heir?! Even if you're the eldest princess, His Majesty will not let you off easily! You, just wait to be deposed—"
“Bang!”
After a while.
The corner of Concubine Liu's mouth was slapped and bleeding, and she no longer had the strength to speak.
Jiang Wanning curled the corner of his mouth, naturally not afraid that Concubine Liu would complain to the emperor.
Qingqing doesn’t have a God’s perspective, but she does!
The tricks that Concubine Liu used behind the scenes may be hidden from others, but don't try to hide them from her.
Although Concubine Wang did not enter the palace at the same time as Concubine Liu, and the two of them even had a bad look on their faces, this was just their way of covering up their tracks.
In private, both of them were spies sent into the harem by Prince Ruyang.
The emperor was weak and had no children for many years. He was also stubborn and refused to choose an heir from the royal family, which gradually led Prince Ruyang to think of rebellion.
And if he wanted to usurp the throne, Nangong Jing and Shen Yan were undoubtedly the two biggest obstacles.
Naturally, he would go to great lengths to eradicate it.
Nangong Jing is a cautious person who never makes friends with others. He usually stays at home and rarely goes out, making it difficult for people to take action against him.
In addition, his parents died early and he was a single man, so he had almost no leverage.
The only person who worries him is his younger sister, Concubine Li, who grew up with him.
At the instruction of King Ruyang.
Concubine Liu and Concubine Wang became pregnant at the same time.
After the death of the previous queen, Concubine Li became the head of the six palaces and was in charge of all matters in the harem.
When she learned that the two concubines were pregnant with the emperor's heir, although she felt sad, she was still happy for the emperor and sent many rewards according to the etiquette.
Although Jiang Wanning asked the princess to remind her to be more cautious against Concubine Liu and Concubine Wang, she was still caught in the trap.
Concubine Wang framed Concubine Li for having a miscarriage and for murdering the imperial heir out of jealousy.
The emperor had been eager to have a prince, and finally the double happiness came, but before he could even be happy, this disaster happened. Naturally, he was furious.
As much as he doted on Concubine Li in the past, he was as annoyed with her at this moment!
I wish I could strangle her to death on the spot!
It was only because of Nangong Jing that she was spared.
In order to force Nangong Jing to rebel, Prince Ruyang would not let her live, so he found an excuse to hold the emperor in the court and secretly instructed Concubine Liu to provoke Concubine Li.
She was so angry that she vomited blood on the spot!
…
Qixiang Palace.
“Cough, cough cough…”
With Murong Qing's emergency treatment, Concubine Li woke up from her coma.
Her face was pale, her hair was disheveled, the hairpin on her head had long been knocked off, and half of her black hair was scattered, covering her face.
However, the five finger prints on the cheek were clearly visible and even more shocking than those on Concubine Liu's face.
This shows how hard the emperor slapped her!
Jiang Wanning's eyes darkened and he cursed inwardly.
Bah, dog emperor!
Sooner or later, I will give him two slaps in the face!
"Madam Hou, the Imperial Concubine is awake!"
Seeing Concubine Li open her eyes, Xing'er couldn't help but show joy and instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Wanning walked closer to the bed, but didn't say anything yet.
When Concubine Li saw her, she felt like she had seen the only elder she could confide in. She immediately climbed up excitedly and grabbed her hand.
His eyes were full of injustice and sadness.
"Madam Hou, I didn't harm her..."
Jiang Wanning sat down at the head of the bed, gently patted the back of her hand, and comforted her.
"I know. You are devoted to His Majesty, happy for him and worried for him. You only regret that you can't share his worries and difficulties, and suffer from his illness.
He is heartless and unworthy of your sincerity.
We don’t want him anymore.”
Seeing that the Marquis's wife believed in her unconditionally, Concubine Li's eyes were suddenly filled with tears. The grievances that had been accumulated in her chest burst out all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but lean on her shoulder and cry.
Jiang Wanning gently stroked her back.
Seeing such a pretty girl crying so miserably, I felt that the dog emperor was a piece of shit.
As the king of a country, with the throne to inherit in his family, it is understandable that he wants to have his own heirs.
But he couldn't give birth, and he had to go through all this trouble.
Because he was eager to have a child, he even believed the slander of the treacherous concubine and was manipulated by her, almost forcing the most innocent Concubine Li to death.
That's unforgivable!
…
Not long.
Jiang Wanning finally managed to persuade Concubine Li to calm down and wipe away the tears from her eyes.
He was planning to take the eldest princess with him to clean up the mess left by Concubine Liu.
The two hadn't even reached the door yet.
The emperor rushed in angrily and scolded her harshly.
"Jiang, you are so bold! How dare you instigate the eldest princess to beat my concubines? I think you are tired of living! Come, take this bitch——"
“Bang!”
Murong Qing slapped a young eunuch who was following closely behind the emperor in the face, instantly interrupting his words.
That little eunuch was naturally the guy beside Concubine Liu who was about to tip off the girl.
The emperor's tone paused.
He probably didn't expect Murong Qing to dare to attack him in front of him.
His face was filled with coldness and sternness, and he was almost a completely different person from when he first met him in the hall.
He didn't even react for a moment. How could she suddenly become so fierce?
Especially when she raised her hand to hit him just now, the wind from her palm even brushed his cheek, making him subconsciously think that she was going to hit him!
After a pause, the emperor came back to his senses and his expression became even gloomier.
"Imperial sister! You are too presumptuous!"
But Murong Qing didn't feel that he was wrong at all. Instead, he looked at him with a look of deep sorrow.
"Brother, do you know... you killed your own son with your own hands!"
Upon hearing this, the emperor's expression changed.
But I didn't understand what she meant.
But my heart suddenly tightened for no reason, and I had an inexplicable bad feeling, and I couldn't help but ask.
"What do you mean by that?!"
Murong Qing had a sad face, as if she was angry about Concubine Li.
"Noble Concubine Li...had a miscarriage!"
The moment the words fell.
The emperor only felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if he was hit hard with a stick.
The pain was so severe that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"W-What did you say…"
Murong Qing turned his head to the side, as if he was too sad to say anything more.
Jiang Wanning took over and said in a calm tone.
"The Imperial Concubine had just come to a bloody mess while kneeling in the Chaoyun Palace. The Princess was worried about her health and was anxious to take her back to the palace. But Concubine Liu repeatedly tried to stop her. She wanted to kill the Imperial Concubine, relying on the fact that she was pregnant with the heir.
The eldest princess became angry and attacked her!
The imperial physician just checked the imperial concubine's pulse and it is indeed a sign of miscarriage.
Your Majesty, I express my condolences!"
Jiang Wanning deliberately emphasized the last two words, and sure enough, the emperor staggered and almost lost his balance.
"His Majesty……"
Eunuch Yang hurried forward to support him, thinking it was all over.
The Marquis' wife always kills people wherever she goes. This time she has broken into the harem. Your Majesty is in danger!
The emperor's face turned very ugly.
Jiang Wanning paused.
He added another sentence and said.
"There is also some sad news. Your Majesty, the one you killed with your own hands... is probably your only royal son to date.
Concubine Liu and Concubine Wang were not pregnant at all.
They lied to you.”
Eunuch Yang: ...The Marquis’ wife finally took action.
These words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the emperor's ears!
He was unwilling to believe such words and his defense broke down almost instantly.
He stared at Jiang Wanning with bare eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense! I'm not a fool, how could I be so easily deceived?! I called ten imperial doctors to check the pulses of Concubine Liu and Concubine Wang, and there was nothing wrong! How could they not be pregnant?!"
Seeing his stubborn look, Jiang Wanning seemed to see the shadows of those three rebellious sons in her.
It turns out that good men are all good in their own ways, but bad men are all the same.
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, search the palace! If I tell even a single lie, you can cut off my tongue. Or, Your Majesty, would rather have someone else confuse the royal bloodline than be cuckolded?"
emperor:"……"
Why does she speak so harshly!
How could Shen Yan bear it?
Seeing the emperor hesitate, Murong Qing followed suit.
"To be honest, my Royal Highness, when I was teaching Concubine Liu a lesson, I felt her pulse and it wasn't slippery... I just don't know how she fooled the imperial doctors. I'm afraid only a palace search can reveal the truth."
With the help of her maid, Concubine Li gritted her teeth and got out of bed.
He walked up to the emperor with difficulty and knelt down.
He spoke each word with tears and pleading.
"Your Majesty, I would not regret dying... But if my child dies in vain, I will never be able to rest in peace! Your Majesty, please search the palace!"
Looking at Concubine Li's frail appearance, her eyes were swollen and red from crying, and even her voice was trembling.
It can be seen that the heartache is extreme.
The emperor subconsciously reached out to help her, his heart aching just the same.
However, before his fingertips reached Concubine Li, he saw her bow down and perform a deep salute to him.
"Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately!"
The emperor's hand stretched out in the air.
Finally closed his eyes.
Gave the order.
"Come here, search Yaohua Palace for me!"
…
Of course Jiang Wanning also lied to him.
Concubine Li will never have his child!
If a mere concubine and beauty can deceive him, then I can also do it myself, right?
What's more, faking a miscarriage is much easier than faking a pregnant pulse.
The reason why the emperor had no heir was because he suffered from azoospermia and would never be able to give birth to a son in his lifetime.
The imperial physicians were all well aware of this.
But no one dared to say it out loud.
After all, they can easily be beheaded if they tell the truth.
It's just to earn a monthly salary. There's really no need to bother selling drugs and getting involved in the open and secret struggles in the harem.
The reason why Concubine Wang and Concubine Liu were able to pretend to be pregnant was not because they took the risk of having an affair with someone else. This was because the emperor had learned from previous experiences and was keeping an almost pathologically strict eye on them.
However, concubines were easy to monitor, while palace maids had relatively more freedom of movement.
Prince Ruyang had no intention of actually letting them give birth to an heir to the throne. He was just taking the opportunity to eliminate his political enemies and bewitch the emperor. Therefore, the happy pulse detected by the imperial physician was actually the pulse of a pregnant palace maid hidden under the bed.
This idea is very cunning.
If Jiang Wanning hadn't read the original text, he wouldn't have thought of it at once.
…
Half an hour later.
Concubine Liu and Concubine Wang, with disheveled hair, were brought in, along with two pregnant palace maids.
The emperor had a sinister look on his face. He grabbed Concubine Liu's neck and said hatefully.
"Liu Jieyu, am I not good enough to you? Why did you lie to me?!"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Liu smiled.
He sneered.
"Noble Concubine Li was so favored before, but you still banished her to the cold palace. Your Majesty's kindness is too much for me to bear."
The emperor was so shocked when he heard this that he couldn't say a word.
After a long while, he let go in a daze.
It was as if I had lost all my strength in an instant.
"Take them away... and torture them severely!"
When the group was dragged out of the palace, the emperor walked up to Concubine Li and reached out to touch the deep fingerprints on her cheek.
His eyes were full of guilt and pity.
"Does it hurt?"
Concubine Li turned her head away, avoiding his touch.
"I am not in pain, but my child is."
Hearing this, the emperor's eyes suddenly turned red again. He put his hands on Concubine Li's shoulders, forcing her to look back at him.
"Take good care of yourself. I will make you my queen. We will definitely have more children..."
“Bang!”
