Chapter 224 Demoting Wife to Concubine 1
Chapter 224 Demoting Wife to Concubine 1
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."
"The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Jiang Chunxi knelt on the ground and looked up at the man and woman on the platform.
Today is the ceremony of crowning the queen, and the funny thing is that the original owner of this imperial concubine was the emperor's original wife.
"Kaka!"
Just as the emperor and the empress smiled at each other and were about to turn around to face the court officials and concubines who were paying homage below, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the empress.
"what!"
Then several pregnant concubines suddenly covered their stomachs and screamed in pain, and their dresses were stained with blood, as if they had miscarried.
In short, the whole scene suddenly became chaotic, and Jiang Chunxi, who caused all this, had tears in her eyes and an expression as if her parents had died.
Big loss.
This mission almost used up all her points.
Jiang Chunxi entered this small world three months ago. In order to create the scene like today, she prepared for three months.
First, he took some fake pregnancy pills to make some concubines in the harem pregnant, and then he bought some thunder talismans to strike the queen.
The fake pregnancy pill and the thunder talisman are not expensive. What is expensive is that the thunder talisman needs to be used on the queen, which requires a large number of points to be deducted. Fortunately, she has completed so many tasks and earned a lot of points, otherwise the thunder talisman she bought cannot be used today.
The emperor of the previous dynasty was incompetent and forced the Marquis of Zhennan, who held a large number of troops, to rebel. The original owner's husband was the Marquis of Zhennan's legitimate son. In order to supply the army with food and grass, the Marquis of Zhennan let his legitimate son marry the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, the richest family in the world.
In the fourth year after the original owner married the eldest son of Marquis Zhennan, Marquis Zhennan died in a battle. Since then, the original owner's husband became the new Marquis Zhennan. After another two years, he finally succeeded in overthrowing the previous dynasty, won the fruits of victory and ascended the throne as emperor.
Logically speaking, when the original owner's husband ascended the throne as emperor, the original owner's original wife should have been named empress. However, because the original owner's husband had no children, he only named her a noble concubine.
In fact, at this time, the original owner guessed that the other party wanted to get rid of him. The Jiang family had given everything, but got such a result in return. How could the original owner be willing to accept this?
But what could she do if she was unwilling? The original owner had to endure the humiliation for the sake of her family, and then watched her husband marry another woman and let another woman sit on the throne of queen.
It was after the Queen entered the harem that the original owner realized that the Queen was the one the Emperor loved the most. She had been well protected by the Emperor over the years, and she, the original wife, was just a target and a pawn to help him stabilize the rear.
The reason why the original owner was unable to have children was because her good husband drugged her, which led to her inability to have children.
This was all told to the original owner by the high and mighty Queen Mother, in order to humiliate the original owner and make him lose control.
But the original owner held back, because she knew that if she lost her mind and did something out of control towards the Queen, the Emperor would have an excuse to deal with her family, so no matter how much hatred she felt in her heart, she had to endure it.
But the emperor wanted to get rid of her, so how could the original owner swallow her anger and let it go? So in the next two years, her family was punished by the emperor time and time again on false charges, until finally the entire family was confiscated and exterminated.
On the day when the original owner's family was confiscated and exterminated, the original owner was also forced to drink a cup of poisoned wine and died.
The original owner's wish was simple, she just wanted to protect her family.
As for killing the dog emperor, it is also considered treason.
The original owner had never thought about this.
If the dog emperor is killed, the world will be in chaos again. The previous emperor's incompetence and tyranny have caused the people to live in misery. With great difficulty, the world has finally stabilized. The original owner does not want to make the people of the world live in dire straits because of his hatred.
And the rebellion...
What's the difference between that and killing the dog emperor? Besides, her family doesn't have the ability to rebel!
So it’s not that I don’t want to kill my enemies with my own hands, but I can’t!
From this we can see that the original owner was a very kind person. If she became the queen, she would definitely become a wise queen.
But unfortunately, she met an emperor who was not a human.
The queen was struck by lightning, and the entire palace was in chaos. In particular, several pregnant concubines also had miscarriages at the same time, which made the situation even more chaotic. Unfavorable rumors about the queen quickly spread in the capital.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager summoned you at this time. Could it be because of the Queen?" The one who spoke was Chen Xi, the confidant of the original owner. She was also the original owner's maidservant who came with her as a dowry and had been serving her since she was a child. "There are all kinds of rumors about the Queen now. Even the ministers in the court have asked the Emperor to depose the Queen. Do you think the Emperor will..."
"Oh!" Jiang Chunxi laughed sarcastically, "Even if the emperor deposed the queen, he would never let me become the queen. After all, she is the apple of his eye. How could he let the apple of his eye be inferior to others?"
"Empress, if you want to cry, just cry!" This was the voice of Chenxia, another trusted palace maid of the original owner, who was also the original owner's dowry maid.
"I have already cried all the tears I should have cried," Jiang Chunxi sneered. "Some tears only need to be shed once. After all, a man as heartless as the emperor is not worth it for me to be heartbroken and shed all my tears for him."
"What's more, I have a more important mission. The emperor wants to get rid of me, but I don't mind. But my family must not end up like a cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked."
In fact, logically speaking, the Dog Emperor should not be afraid of the original owner's family. After all, compared to the original owner's family, those generals who hold military power are more worthy of the Dog Emperor's fear.
But who made the original owner the original wife of the Dog Emperor?
This identity alone was enough to make the dog emperor's beloved person angry. Perhaps the dog emperor also hated the original owner for occupying his wife's identity and making the person he loved suffer for so many years, so he hated the original owner early on and had already determined the fate of the original owner and her family when he married her.
"Let's go!" Jiang Chunxi looked in the mirror again, then stood up and said, "Since the Queen Mother has summoned me, I can't keep her waiting for too long."
When Jiang Chunxi arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, she was not let in immediately. Instead, she stood outside for half an hour before the Empress Dowager let her in.
"Your concubine pays her respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health." Jiang Chunxi immediately saluted the Empress Dowager as she entered the hall.
The Queen Mother did not ask Jiang Chunxi to get up immediately. Instead, she slowly finished a cup of tea and then said, "Get up!"
"Yes." Jiang Chunxi responded softly and then stood up.
"Imperial Concubine Jiang must be very happy these days!" The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Chunxi coldly, "After all, something like that happened at the Queen's coronation ceremony, and now the ministers in the court are asking for an order to depose the Queen. I think Imperial Concubine Jiang must be very happy."
