Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 931: The Ungrateful Son 7

The Empress Dowager naturally did not have a smart brain, but now there was a powerful Madam Liao who had planted people in Concubine Chen's palace a long time ago, so there was no way to prevent the conversation between Concubine Chen and the Emperor from reaching the Empress Dowager's ears.

"Good, good, good, you are really good. You really are worthy of being my good son." The Queen Mother was naturally very angry after hearing the report from Madam Liao.

"Master, we have to think of a solution quickly. We can't let the emperor hand over the power of the palace to Concubine Chen!" said Madam Liao. "I do have a plan, but I'm afraid you won't agree..."

Madam Liao looked embarrassed, which made the Queen Mother very dissatisfied and said, "If you have any plan, please tell me quickly. As long as it can keep the power of the palace, I have no objection."

When Madam Liao heard the empress dowager say this, she immediately looked relieved: "My Lord, we are still in mourning, and it is the hottest period, but the emperor is staying in the harem. If this gets out..."

Before she finished speaking, the Empress Dowager already understood what Madam Liao meant.

"You mean..." The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and said, "That's a solution. As long as we give Concubine Chen a mourning period and accuse her of seducing the emperor, the emperor won't have the nerve to ask for the power of the palace to be handed over to Concubine Chen. But if we do that, it will affect the emperor's reputation..."

After all, he is her own son. Even if the empress dowager dislikes the emperor's son, as a mother, she does not want to ruin her son's reputation.

What's more, the emperor has just ascended the throne. If the emperor gets the reputation of being unfilial and lusting after women during the mourning period, I'm afraid...

"Master, the emperor has already sat on the throne. Even if there is any unfavorable reputation, it will not shake the emperor's throne," said Madam Liao. "Master, you must know that the emperor has been bewitched by Concubine Chen and is even going to attack the second prince. You must know that the second prince is the emperor's own flesh and blood."

"This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Concubine Chen is flattering Prince Rui in an attempt to make the Emperor hate Prince Rui. If we don't take this opportunity to strike a heavy blow to Concubine Chen, then after Concubine Chen completely takes control of the palace, I'm afraid she will have some ill will towards Prince Rui again. What if she whispers something in the Emperor's ear and makes the Emperor determined to eliminate Prince Rui?"

The Queen Mother's expression turned fierce: "You are right. We must take this opportunity to suppress Concubine Chen and make her have no intention of plotting against Prince Rui."

"Give orders. I will make the news of the emperor's unfilial behavior spread all over the capital tomorrow." The queen mother sneered, "Since his unfilial son has no filial piety towards me, his mother, then I don't need to be polite to him."

"I'll do it right away." Nanny Liao immediately retreated.

With the Empress Dowager's brain, she naturally did not have the ability to fill the entire harem with her spies in such a short period of time. She had to rely on her trusted confidant, Madam Liao. The reason why Madam Liao had such a brain was naturally that she obeyed Jiang Chunxi's orders.

Therefore, rather than saying that the Empress Dowager relied on the power built up by Madam Liao in the palace and that it was for the Empress Dowager's use, it would be better to say that the Empress Dowager was a puppet in the hands of Jiang Chunxi.

And Jiang Chunxi was able to arrange all these in such a short time, which naturally cost her a huge amount of points. After all, scattering so many loyalty talismans was a considerable sum of money.

You could say that! This mission was another loss-making business. Fortunately, this was not the first time Jiang Chunxi had done such a loss-making business, so it didn't hurt that much.

The next morning, when the emperor attended the morning court, he was pointed at and scolded by his brothers. The royal relatives were even more rude to the emperor, and they almost blew the roof off his head by scolding him.

The most important thing is that he forced the emperor to deal with Concubine Chen.

The emperor was forced into a corner and had no choice but to depose Concubine Chen from her position as concubine and demote her to the position of imperial concubine.

But even so, the royal relatives were still not satisfied and forced the emperor to execute Concubine Chen. In the end, it was the Jiang family who stood up and spoke for the emperor. The matter ended with Concubine Chen being demoted to a noble, thus saving her life.

When the news reached the harem, Concubine Chen was not grateful at all to the Jiang family. Instead, she directed all her anger at them, thinking that they had bad intentions and were using this opportunity to help the Queen dethrone her from her position as concubine.

After all, if it weren't for the Jiang family's instigation, the emperor would definitely have been able to retain her position as a concubine. How could she have been demoted to a small noble lady?

In a rage, Concubine Chen smashed everything in her palace, but the anger in her chest did not subside at all, so she brought people to Jiang Chunxi's palace in anger.

"Queen, you are shameless," Concubine Chen pointed at Jiang Chunxi and cursed her as soon as she saw her. "Do you think that you have defeated me just because you used the Jiang family to demote me to a noble lady?"

"I'm telling you, stop dreaming. As long as the emperor loves me, you bitch will always be defeated by me. Let's wait and see. I will pay you back a thousand times for the humiliation you suffered today."

"Someone come! Slap him in the face." Jiang Chunxi said calmly, not at all angry at what Concubine Chen said.

A palace maid immediately stepped forward and tried to hit Concubine Chen.

"I'll see who dares," Concubine Chen glared at the maid and said, "You lowly people, just try and touch me. I'll chop off your hands."

"Clap!"

The maid quickly slapped Concubine Chen twice: "You are disrespectful to the Empress and even insult her. Even if I have to sacrifice my hands, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the Empress."

"Ah!" Concubine Chen was almost going crazy, "Beat this lowly woman to death for me. I will chop off her lowly woman's hands."

The servants brought by Concubine Chen were about to take action immediately, and at this time the Queen Mother arrived.

"I'll see who dares."

The reason why the Empress Dowager came here was naturally because of the instigation of Matron Liao. Matron Liao told the Empress Dowager that she should take this opportunity to establish her authority and teach Concubine Chen a lesson to vent her anger.

This naturally made the Queen Mother unable to sit still, and she rushed over as quickly as possible.

Jiang Chunxi quickly stood up and saluted the empress dowager, then respectfully helped the empress dowager sit down.

Jiang Chunxi's respectful behavior made the empress dowager very satisfied. The more satisfied she was with Jiang Chunxi, the more dissatisfied she became with Concubine Chen.

Now we can no longer call her Concubine Chen, we should call her Noble Lady Chen.

"Mrs. Chen, who gave you the guts to come to the Queen's palace and cause trouble? And who gave you the guts to not even show respect to me?" The Queen Mother glared at Mrs. Chen and said:

Concubine Chen bowed to the Queen Mother with a reluctant look on her face: "Your humble concubine..."

"How dare you," said Madam Liao. "Mrs. Chen, you are just a mere noble, yet you dare to call yourself a concubine."
