Chapter 422 The Tragic Queen 2
"Your Majesty, I think what Xia Jing said makes sense. If we don't give it a try, how can we be sure that the emperor doesn't believe it?" Chun Xiao also advised, "Given the relationship between you and the emperor, even if the emperor doesn't believe you, he should at least be a little suspicious of the queen! Once the seed of suspicion is planted, I won't believe it anymore. We can't overthrow the queen."
"You have a point." Imperial Concubine Li is now Lipin, so she can only call herself Lipin from now on. "Why do you assume that the emperor doesn't believe it without trying it out? Even if the emperor doesn't believe it, it's good to sow a seed of doubt in his heart."
At the same time, Jiang Chunxi was in the palace.
"Empress, I am really worried," Xinpin sat below Jiang Chunxi and said with a worried look on her face, "I am just pregnant, and Lipin's confinement time is up. I am worried that Lipin will not change her bad habits after she comes out, and will harm the child in my belly. What should I do?"
"Alas!" Jiang Chunxi sighed, "So what? The emperor wants to protect Lipin. I can make Lipin demoted. I have done my best to confine her for half a year. Do you think the emperor will agree to this?"
"After all, it's not easy to be intimate with the person in Jianjianjian again. How could the emperor extend the confinement of Lipin just because you are pregnant?"
"You have to understand that in the emperor's heart, Lipin is the most important, and offspring are nothing." Jiang Chunxi smiled bitterly, "Even though the emperor has come to me the most since Lipin was confined, it's because the emperor has not given up on letting me be a target for Lipin."
"No one has ever been as powerful as me. I have no doubt that if Lipin had not miscarried, then when she gave birth to the child, it would have been the countdown to my death."
"But..." Concubine Xin wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Jiang Chunxi.
"Okay, Xinpin, don't say anything more. I understand your worries, but I can't anger the emperor for you!" Jiang Chunxi said, "But don't worry, I will ask me to give you a nanny who knows pharmacology. With a nanny who knows pharmacology by your side to take care of you, even if Lipin wants to harm you, it won't be that easy."
"Then I would like to thank Her Majesty the Queen." Concubine Xin also knew that it was very rare for the Queen to do this for her, so it would not be good to make things difficult for the Queen.
After Concubine Xin left, Jiang Chunxi sent someone to the Yangxin Palace to invite the emperor to have dinner in the Kunluan Palace in the morning.
The emperor naturally would not refuse the queen's favor, and arrived at Kunluan Palace on time at noon.
After the two of them finished lunch, Jiang Chunxi told the emperor the purpose of inviting him over: "Although Concubine Li is no longer in charge of the palace, Concubine Li has been in charge of the palace for two years. Who knows how many connections she has made in private."
"It would be fine if Lipin continued to be confined to her house, but now that the time limit has come, Your Majesty cannot help but be on guard for the baby in Xinpin's belly! That's why I want Your Majesty to choose a nanny who understands pharmacology to take care of Xinpin's baby. In short, nothing must happen to the baby in Xinpin's belly, otherwise the ministers of the previous dynasty will probably criticize her."
"Got it. I will have someone select a good nanny to send to Xinpin's palace." The emperor was reluctant to continue to restrain Lipin's feet. "Queen, you are in charge of the palace now. As the queen, you have to pay more attention to Xinpin's dragon fetus."
"If I didn't bother, I wouldn't ask the emperor to give Xinpin a nanny. But there is no reason to guard against thieves in this world. After all, it is impossible to guard against it. If someone has bad intentions, even if I protect Xinpin tightly in every way, someone can still find a loophole and harm Xinpin."
The emperor frowned, but he was reluctant to let his beloved girl stay under house arrest again and said, "I believe that the baby in Xinpin's belly will be born safely. The queen is overly worried."
"Since the emperor has said so, I have nothing to say," Jiang Chunxi was obviously unhappy, "but if Xinpin's dragon fetus really has an accident, the emperor should not blame me. It's because the emperor is reluctant to let Lipin continue to be confined to her house. Therefore, if Xinpin's dragon fetus really has an accident, it is the emperor's fault, and it cannot be implicated by me."
"You, why are you saying such things to anger me again?" the emperor said unhappily, "How many times do I have to explain to you before you believe me? You also know that Lipin's family background is not ordinary. Her father is a second-rank official, and there are many people in the family who serve as officials in the court. If there is evidence to convict Li Guifei, it will be fine, but in the absence of evidence, I have already punished Li Guifei. If I continue to confine Lipin, I am afraid that Lipin's father will make a scene in the court."
"Alas!" The emperor sighed helplessly, "Since I took the throne, I realized that there are too many things to worry about as an emperor. Many things cannot be decided by one's own will."
"Empress, you and I are husband and wife. I hope you will stop doubting my feelings for you. I also hope you can stand in my shoes and consider it for me."
"The emperor really doesn't care about Lipin," Jiang Chunxi said, as if she believed the emperor a little. "You only protect Lipin because she has relatives who are officials in the court."
"Of course it's true," the emperor grabbed Jiang Chunxi's hand, "Queen, do you know why my heart can only accommodate you? That's because I know that you are the most sincere to me in the entire harem. The other concubines in the harem compete for favor for their own families, so as to benefit their own families."
"You are the only one who is different. You love me only because of who I am, not because of my status. So whenever I want to relax, I just want to come to the Queen's place, because you are the only one who can make me relax. So I can't understand why you doubt my intentions towards you. After all, you are the only woman in the harem that I don't need to be on guard against."
"Of course, I don't need your Majesty to be on guard against anything, because I have no relatives left, so there is no need for me to plan anything for the family," Jiang Chunxi cried in grief, "Father, why did you abandon your daughter? You left your daughter alone in this world, without even a family member to care about. Can you rest assured in your grave?"
"Okay, Queen, don't be sad," the emperor hugged Jiang Chunxi and comforted her, "You still have me. I promise you that I will protect you and love you for the rest of my life."
