Chapter 16 The emperor who is not in love (16)
For several days, the emperor was busy in the imperial study, but he would send someone to deliver food every meal, which was Jiang Yun's favorite food.
As soon as the emperor was no longer with Jiang Yun, the queen started to make trouble.
"My dearest concubine, the queen invites you to eat some fruit snacks together."
"I'm not feeling well, so I won't go."
"Didn't the noble concubine also listen to the Queen's words?"
Jiang Yun had a faint smile on her lips, "Cui Liu, see you off."
After being humiliated many times, the queen was so angry that she came directly when the emperor was not around, hoping to give Concubine Jiang a blow.
"The noble concubine is so proud. How many times have I invited you but I still can't invite you?"
"I'm sorry that I'm too bulky to be polite. Please sit down, Queen." Jiang Yun pointed to the seat next to her.
She was asked to sit at the bottom, and Mingming didn't pay attention to her. The queen looked majestic and said: "Come here, the noble concubine is disrespectful. I will arrest you."
"Cui Liu, go and invite the emperor." Jiang Yun sat on the soft couch and remained motionless.
The queen is now desperate, apparently thinking that she can continue to dominate by relying on the power of her mother's clan.
The emperor was not here, so she didn't even want to pretend. She probably felt that she had too many people, so she could just suppress the news when the time came.
"The emperor is busy with state affairs now, how can he have time to care about you?" The queen couldn't help laughing, "Concubine Jiang thinks too highly of herself."
"Since the Emperor has no time to come, I will take care of the Queen on behalf of the Emperor. Someone comes..."
The queen didn't want to pretend, nor did she want to endure it.
The queen's pupils dilated, "You, you are so presumptuous! When will it be your turn to take charge of this palace!"
"Whether I can control it or not depends on whether the people under me dare to take action." Jiang Yun looked over with a smile, "There will be rewards for good ones."
Since the emperor had opened his mouth to support her, she was naturally not afraid and would speak out first. The queen had already become unhappy.
Cuiliu was the first to rush forward without hesitation and slapped the queen on the face.
The queen froze on the spot, as if she couldn't believe it and hadn't recovered yet.
The maid and eunuch behind the queen was immediately restrained. No one could come forward to help her, so they just watched her being beaten.
"Your Majesty! How dare you hit me!" The queen roared, and Cuiliu slapped her again.
The queen was completely confused this time.
No queen of any dynasty has ever been beaten by a concubine.
This is a shame and tramples her dignity to the ground.
"Come here! Come!"
The queen broke away and ran out like crazy.
She just wanted to let everyone in the harem know that Jiang Yun had committed a crime and beat the queen.
Death is not an exaggeration.
She didn't believe that the Queen Mother and the Emperor were still favoring her, so her mother's family would not give up easily.
"Queen Mother, you have to make the decision for me!"
"Oh my, the Ai family has already suppressed the news, so no one will know that you were beaten." The Queen Mother comforted her gently.
The Queen was troubled and her eyes widened, "Don't the Queen Mother make decisions for my concubines?"
"It is common for petty quarrels in the harem to happen. The queen should be tolerant and tolerant. Why bother arguing with the imperial concubine? She is still pregnant with the emperor's child."
After having a child, the Queen Mother's heart was biased and she didn't care about anything else.
The queen was stunned, clenching her hands into fists, digging her nails into her flesh, and smiled: "Yes, Concubine Jiang is still pregnant with the emperor's heir."
What if the emperor's heir is gone?
She won't make it easy for Jiang Yun, absolutely not!
There is no way for the emperor to give birth to an heir, and he will only be stillborn!
The queen held back her anger and went back, smashing everything in the palace, "Bring the cat that Xie Yan sent here!"
"Yes, ma'am."
The thin black cat was brought over, and the queen threw a piece of meat on the ground. The cat pounced on it like crazy and bit it.
The queen looked at the scene in front of her with a smile, "Jiang Yun, I want to see how long you can be arrogant?"
This cat was specially trained. The meat it eats on weekdays is all meat with fragrance, and this fragrance is the flavor of the spices used by Concubine Jiang.
Seeing the black cat tearing flesh and blood ferociously, the smile on the queen's lips became increasingly weird.
As night falls, everything is quiet, and occasionally a cat meows.
Jiang Yun tied up her cloak tightly and sat on the warm stone.
Because he often walked around here, the emperor not only sent people to bring stone chairs, but also covered them all with thick blankets. As long as Jiang Yun was tired from walking, she could sit down and rest at any time.
The surroundings were also brightly lit with candles, as if it were daytime, for fear that she would not be able to see the road.
"Your Majesty, would you like some hot soup? The emperor just sent it over." Cuiliu asked her thoughtfully.
Jiang Yun turned her head to look at the dark figure in the distance, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Yeah."
"Cuiliu, look if there's anyone over there?"
Cuiliu turned her head and was startled when she saw the black figure. She quickly sent someone to take a look, "You two, go over and see who is there?"
It looked really scary at night.
Before she finished speaking, the black shadow moved, and then a cat rushed over, jumped into Jiang Yun's arms and yelled at her.
Jiang Yun was shocked, stood up quickly, threw the cat away, but fell to the ground unsteadily.
"Your Majesty!" Cuiliu shouted, "My Majesty, your Majesty, you are bleeding! Doctor! Go and call the Doctor!"
Cuiliu cried and knelt down to help her. Jiang Yun patted her hand and said steadily: "She is about to give birth. Help me go back and ask someone to call the emperor."
"Yes, I will call for you now."
As the flowers fell into the palace, the woman's cry of pain came from inside the palace.
Pots of blood were sent outside, the lights were bright, and the bright red blood became more dazzling.
Xiao Youyuan staggered and almost fell to the ground. Laixi quickly supported him, "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body. The noble concubine will be fine!"
The Queen Mother hurried over, twisting the handkerchief into a ball, and said worriedly: "Isn't it half a month before I give birth? Why is it so early?"
"Your Majesty, someone let a cat attack the imperial concubine. Please make the decision for my imperial concubine!" Cuiliu suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and trembled with anger, "The Ai family will definitely find out about this matter. You should get up first."
The nun who delivered the baby hurriedly ran out and knelt down, "The imperial concubine is having a difficult delivery. I am afraid that I will only be able to save one of my children."
"Can't we keep both the adults and the children?" The Queen Mother hesitated.
Mammy knelt down and whispered: "I'm afraid the imperial concubine may not be able to hold on any longer."
She had never seen a woman who shed so much blood during childbirth and still survived.
"What did you say?" the emperor asked with red eyes, and then rushed in, "Yunyun!"
Blood and water entered her eyes, and the woman closed her eyes as she was dying.
The emperor swayed slightly and grabbed Jiang Yun's hand with trembling fingers, "I will not let you die."
"If we can't save the imperial concubine, you will all be buried with her!"
"Where's the imperial doctor! Come in here!"
Xiao Youyuan shouted loudly.
