Chapter 707 The Tragic Concubine 4
When they saw Jiang Chunxi come in, all the concubines present stood up and saluted her.
Jiang Chunxi came to her seat with a smug look on her face and sat down, then she said, "Everyone, get up!"
After everyone stood up and sat down, Concubine Shu immediately spoke up, "It seems that the Imperial Concubine has recovered well. I can see that your face looks very rosy. It seems that the Imperial Concubine has gotten over the pain of losing her son."
"Oh!" Jiang Chunxi sneered at Concubine Shu, "Why, do you mind if I recover? You deliberately said this to open up the scars in my heart. Do you think it's a relief?"
The original owner had too good a temper and didn't have the demeanor of a favored concubine at all, which is why people wanted to step on her. Otherwise, Concubine Shu would not have dared to say that.
Concubine Shu was slightly stunned for a moment, then she immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are wronging me. I just said a few words of concern for you. If Your Highness doesn't appreciate it, then that's fine. But why do you have to throw dirty water on me like this?"
"You call stabbing me in the heart caring about me? Do you think I'm stupid? Or do you think I dare not do anything to you?" Jiang Chunxi's eyes turned cold. "It seems that I was too kind before, so no one dared to do anything to me."
"Someone come! Give me a slap in the face."
"How dare you," the Concubine Shu said angrily, "I am the Concubine Shu appointed by the Emperor himself. Even if you want to teach me a lesson, it is not the Concubine's turn to interfere."
"I am the Imperial Concubine appointed by the Emperor himself," Jiang Chunxi said sarcastically, "Don't you understand that a higher rank can crush a person? I am the Imperial Concubine, and you are only a concubine, so my punishment is also a reward. You should remember this today. After you have learned your lesson, you'd better stop barking in front of me, otherwise I don't mind teaching you a harsher lesson."
As soon as Jiang Chunxi finished speaking, Yuanzhu quickly came to Concubine Shu and slapped her twice before she could react.
"You little bitch, you actually dared to hit me," Concubine Shu's eyes were blazing with fire, as if she was going to eat Yuanzhu alive, "Someone, come! Drag this little bitch out and beat her to death."
"I'll see who dares," Jiang Chunxi said coldly, "If you dare to touch my people, I'll see who loses a few heads."
"What are all these noises about?" Just then the queen appeared with a dark face.
As soon as the queen appeared, everyone stood up and saluted her, even Jiang Chunxi was no exception.
However, Jiang Chunxi's greeting was very perfunctory. Before the Queen asked everyone to stand up, Jiang Chunxi stood up and sat down again.
Jiang Chunxi's provocative behavior naturally made the Queen's face even darker.
It seems that Concubine Jiang's temperament changed drastically after losing her child!
He used to be respectful to her, the queen, but now he dares to be so blatant and ignore her.
"Empress, please help me!" Concubine Shu cried to the Empress, "The Imperial Concubine asked her servant to slap me for no reason. She is so arrogant and domineering. If the Empress does not help me, how can I live in the future?"
"If you don't want to live, then just go and die!" Jiang Chunxi taunted, "Anyway, no one will stop you from committing suicide. If Concubine Shu really feels ashamed to live, then she can die now and let the sisters in the harem have a good look at the excitement. After all, I think none of the sisters in the harem have ever seen someone committing suicide."
"My concubine, please be careful with your words," the queen said coldly, "I know that you are bound to be a little extreme after losing your child, but this is not a reason for you to act recklessly in my palace, nor is it a basis for you to be arrogant and domineering. You let the people below slap the concubine for no reason. My concubine, you don't think that I, the queen, will indulge you and have no way to deal with you, right?"
"Then how does the Queen want to deal with me?" Jiang Chunxi looked at the Queen provocatively. "Shu Fei offended me, but as a noble concubine, can't I punish her? If you follow the Queen's logic, then if I offended her, can't the Queen punish me? What hierarchy is there in the harem? Anyway, there will be no punishment for insubordination, so what is there to worry about?"
"Tsk tsk! Where's the Queen? I didn't expect that the Queen, as the master of the harem, would take the lead in breaking the palace rules. I really want to ask the Emperor why he was so confident in handing over the power of the palace to the Queen."
"Oh! Look at my brain, how could I have forgotten this matter?" Jiang Chunxi made an annoyed expression, "The emperor must have seen that the queen was not good at managing the harem, so he handed half of the palace power to Shufei. But with the queen taking the lead, it's no wonder that after Shufei took control of the palace power, she dared not take me, the imperial concubine, seriously and even dared to blatantly provoke me."
"Alas! Some people just like to be cheap. If you don't let them kick the iron board, they don't know who they can't mess with." Jiang Chunxi looked at Concubine Shu and said, "Concubine Shu, do you think what I said is right? I guess the power in your hands is not warm yet! Do you need me to tell the emperor to find someone to share the queen's worries?"
Concubine Shu was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, but she didn't dare to say anything to Jiang Chunxi at this time. After all, she didn't want to give up the palace power she had just obtained before she could even hold on to it.
Given the emperor's fondness for Jiang Chunxi, Concubine Shu had no doubt about the weight of Jiang Chunxi's threat. If Jiang Chunxi were to say something to the emperor, the palace power in her hands would definitely be taken back by the emperor.
This can only mean that Concubine Shu does have some brains, but not much, at least far less than the Queen, otherwise she would not be afraid of Jiang Chunxi's threats.
Of course, if Jiang Chunxi really wants Concubine Shu to lose her power in the palace, it is not impossible. Considering the dog emperor's current guilt towards her, Jiang Chunxi really has a way to make the dog emperor take back the power in the palace from Concubine Shu, even if the empress dowager tries to stop her.
"How outrageous." The queen slapped the armrest of the chair heavily, her chest heaving with anger. It was obvious that she was very angry with Jiang Chunxi.
"You are so presumptuous," Jiang Chunxi raised her lips slightly, "I am indeed presumptuous, but what can the Queen do to me? You should know that I am even more presumptuous in front of the Emperor, but the Emperor never dared to do anything to me."
"It is said that husband and wife are one. The Queen should follow the Emperor's example in this regard. Otherwise, how can the Queen be worthy of being the Emperor's wife?"
As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi stood up and said, "By the way, I would like to ask you something. In the past month, when the Queen was sleeping at night, didn't she hear the cries of the wronged soul of the baby? Chengpin is just a concubine. If there is no one to support her, how dare she blatantly poison the child in my belly?"
"Ha!" Jiang Chunxi then sneered sarcastically and started to walk outside. Her attitude was as arrogant as it could be, making the queen look so cowardly.
