Chapter 929: The Ungrateful Son 5
"What could possibly happen? Didn't the emperor himself grow up in the Prince's Residence? How could he describe the prince's residence as a den of danger?" Jiang Chunxi sneered. "Besides, sending the prince to the Prince's Residence for unified education is a rule set by our ancestors."
"But look at what the emperor said. It seems that he is eager for me to jump up and down so that the royal family members will be dissatisfied with me as the queen, and you can have an excuse to depose me. In this way, you can make your beloved Concubine Chen the queen, right?"
"Your Majesty," Jiang Chunxi's expression turned cold, "If you want to depose me, just issue an order. There's no need to resort to these disgusting methods. This will make me look down on you."
"As the ruler of a country, you want to depose the queen, and yet you resort to such despicable means. Your Majesty, don't feel ashamed. How can I, the queen who occupies your position as your wife, feel ashamed?"
"Empress," the emperor's voice became cold and stern, his expression looked even more terribly angry, "Don't think that I really dare not do anything to you."
"How could that be?" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "I'm too sure that the emperor will do something to me. Maybe he won't dare to depose me openly as the queen, and will just poison me to death."
"But," Jiang Chunxi looked at the emperor sarcastically, "But Your Majesty, don't think that you can make Concubine Chen the queen by getting rid of me. Based on Concubine Chen's humble background, if Your Majesty really wants her to be the queen, it would be a disgrace to the royal family. Those royal relatives should think carefully about whether Your Majesty is a tyrant! Isn't it better to change someone else to be the emperor?"
The emperor's face was terribly gloomy. "Queen, you are really a good person. This is your true self! You used to pretend to be gentle and virtuous in the palace. I thought you were a good person. But it turns out that you were just pretending to be gentle and virtuous to confuse me."
"I would like to continue to be gentle and virtuous, but your beloved concubine cannot bear to see me continue to be gentle and virtuous!" Jiang Chunxi mocked, "When she was in the palace before, she would pretend to be a concubine, but now that she has just become a concubine, she dares to openly provoke me, the queen."
"And the reason why Concubine Chen dared to provoke me was because the emperor gave her the confidence. Therefore, I am too lazy to put on the mask of gentleness and virtue to flatter you. Anyway, no matter how gentle and virtuous I pretend to be, the emperor doesn't take me seriously at all."
"In this case, why don't we all speak frankly and honestly? Why bother pretending to be nice and doing superficial things? Your Majesty doesn't mind, but I am tired of it."
"Okay, okay, the Queen is really eloquent. How come I only found out today that the Queen's tongue skills are so amazing?" The Emperor said with a gnashing of teeth in his tone.
"Your Majesty and Concubine Chen are indeed of the same mind. The words they used to praise me are exactly the same," Jiang Chunxi said, glancing at the emperor. "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I also feel that I should open my mouth and speak. I am indeed very eloquent."
"You..." The emperor was so angry that he couldn't speak, and finally he just turned away and left.
"Empress, is it really okay for you to make the emperor angry like this?" The two trusted palace maids of the original owner came in immediately after the emperor left, and it was Miao Ke who spoke first.
"Yes, madam," said Miaoyin, another maid, "I saw the emperor's face was so gloomy when he left. Is it really okay for you to anger the emperor like this?"
Miao Ke and Miao Yin were naturally the loyalty tokens given by Jiang Chunxi, so they knew exactly what Jiang Chunxi was going to do. However, even though they knew it clearly, they were still very worried when they saw that the Empress had angered the Emperor so much.
"Don't worry! The emperor doesn't dare to do anything to me," Jiang Chunxi came to sit on the couch, "You know, the emperor is still counting on the Jiang family to help him stabilize the court, and there are many places where he can use the Jiang family, so even if the emperor wants to kill me, he dare not touch me."
The Jiang family's role in the dog emperor was not only to help him ascend the throne, but also to work hard to help him stabilize the court. In the original owner's previous life, the original owner's father was so exhausted by this that he died at the age of fifty.
Now there are still six years before the original owner's father passes away. Just six years is enough to make the original owner's father exhausted. This is enough to prove how difficult it was for the dog emperor to sit firmly on the throne during these six years. He treated the original owner's father like an ox or a horse. In other words, all the people of the Jiang family who served as officials in the court were treated like oxen and horses by the dog emperor.
But even so, the Dog Emperor showed no gratitude at all.
It’s no wonder that the original owner’s son is such an ungrateful person. After all, like father, like son.
After the emperor left Jiang Chunxi, he naturally went to Concubine Chen's palace.
When Concubine Chen saw the emperor, she naturally complained to him. After she finished her complaint, she burst into tears and cried, "Your Majesty, Ming'er is my lifeblood. He is still so young. If you really send him to the prince's residence, wouldn't that be digging into my heart?"
"Anyway, I don't care! I will never agree to send Ming'er to the prince's residence. If the emperor doesn't find a way for me, I will not live."
"Alright, alright, stop crying." Although he was in a bad mood, the emperor still felt distressed when he saw his beloved woman crying like this. "Ming'er is also my son. In my heart, only Ming'er can be considered my son. Only Ming'er can inherit everything from me. So how can I feel at ease sending Ming'er to the prince's residence?"
No father wants his son to experience the suffering he has experienced again. As a prince whose mother is not favored and who is not valued by the previous emperor, one can imagine the suffering that the emperor must have endured.
After all, the servants in this palace have always been flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. Even though he has become the emperor now and sent his most beloved son to the prince's residence, the servants under him will only serve the second prince wholeheartedly.
But what does it matter? The emperor still felt that sending his beloved son to the prince's residence would be unfair to his beloved son. At the same time, he was also worried that his beloved son would be harmed by someone in a place where he and Concubine Chen could not see.
You know, the two sons of the late emperor's favorite concubine both died at the hands of the prince. The women in the harem want to harm children, and they have endless means. Even the late emperor could not protect the son born to his beloved woman.
"It's all the Queen's fault," Concubine Chen said angrily, "Why didn't she do everything she could to keep the Second Prince by her side as the Emperor expected? In my opinion, the Queen should be taught a lesson and made to be afraid. Only then will she do as the Emperor expected."
