Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 253 Demoting Wife to Concubine 3

"Empress Dowager..." Aunt Cui was really scared now, but so what? Two eunuchs blocked her mouth and quickly dragged her out.

"You dog slaves, stop right there." The empress dowager tried to get out of the bed with her weak body, but she just couldn't move.

"The Empress Dowager really cares about her servant," Jiang Chunxi said sarcastically, "It's just a servant, but it's not worth it for the Empress Dowager to risk her life like this. Forget about Concubine Shen, how can a servant make the Empress Dowager so concerned?"

"Alas!" Jiang Chunxi sighed, "I really feel unfair for the emperor! Not to mention compared with Concubine Shen, if the Empress Dowager could give half of her care to the emperor as she does to Madam Cui, the emperor would not have lost six heirs at once."

Jiang Chunxi then looked at the Queen Mother with hatred: "Because of you, an old vicious woman, the Emperor lost six children at once, so how dare you still clamor to see the Emperor, or in other words, how dare you still live in shame."

"Over the years, I have knelt before the Buddha until my legs were broken. I finally begged for mercy from the heavens, and the emperor finally had a child. But because of you, an old vicious woman, the heavens took back the gift. You love your niece so much, why don't you just die quickly and love your niece in the underworld."

"Look at how capable your precious niece is! She can even die and take away the emperor's six children at once. Why are you clamoring to see the emperor now? Could it be that your precious niece has some evil intentions towards the emperor again?"

"You old vicious woman, listen to me carefully," Jiang Chunxi stood up and walked to the bed, looking down at the empress dowager on the bed, "As long as I am here, I will not allow you to use your evil thoughts on the emperor again. If you want to threaten the emperor with filial piety again, you old vicious woman, don't dream about it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Chunxi turned and left.

What she said was reported to the emperor by the spies arranged by the emperor to be around her, with some omissions.

Regardless of the fact that the Queen Mother was almost pissed off to death by Jiang Chunxi, let’s talk about the Emperor! He was so moved in his heart. This was a married couple! How could he have been so blind and heartless to hurt Chunxi for a vicious woman like Shen Jingyao?

The emperor was so moved that he issued an imperial decree the next day to appoint Jiang Chunxi as the queen. When the empress dowager heard the news, she was so angry that she died.

In short, when the emperor learned of the Queen Mother's death, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. Did the mother and son have some deep hatred? Otherwise, why would the Queen Mother use death to plot against her son?

On the day when the Emperor named Jiang Chunxi the Queen, the Queen Mother was so angry that she died. It was as if her death was an accusation of the Emperor being unfilial. So how could the Emperor not be so angry that he wanted to kill someone?

What a vicious old woman, she is willing to sacrifice her own life just to scheme against her son.

"Your Majesty, you must be exhausted," Chenxia helped Jiang Chunxi sit down, "You have to kneel before the spirit and take care of the Queen Mother's funeral. Even a body of iron can't bear it!"

"The Queen Mother is really something. She is willing to risk her life just to make things difficult for you. She doesn't think that if she dies, the Emperor will be able to revoke the decree to make her the Queen!"

"The Queen Mother is only capable of this," Jiang Chunxi said indifferently, "Forget it, the person is already dead, and I am too lazy to bother with her."

"Your Highness, I am so happy," Chenxi brought a cup of tea to Jiang Chunxi, "From now on, you are the Empress, the most honorable woman in the harem. The Emperor is like the Monkey King in your hand, and he will never be able to turn out of your palm again."

"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi chuckled and took a sip of tea. "Now is not the time to be complacent. From now on, it is the time for me to officially compete with the emperor. I want the emperor to put everything in my hands and solve all obstacles for me."

What is the queen? What is the queen mother? She wants to be the queen mother who holds real power and rules the country from behind the scenes.

Five years passed in a flash. During these five years, many concubines were added to the harem, but without exception, none of them was pregnant.

The emperor also felt that his body was not as strong as before and he despaired of having an heir.

But it's true, it's good enough to receive God's mercy once, how dare I dream of having it a second time.

So the emperor had to consider the issue of adopting a son.

"You really want to adopt a child," Jiang Chunxi cried sadly after hearing the emperor's words, "Your Majesty, why don't you wait a little longer? I have been kneeling in front of the Buddha for five years. Maybe I can be blessed by the mercy of God and let Your Majesty have another child?"

"In short, I really can't accept this! Whenever I think about the world that my husband and I have worked so hard to build, only to be given away to others, my heart aches as if it were being cut into pieces."

"Alas! How can I be willing to do this?" The emperor sighed, "My health is not as good as before. I am old. If I don't choose a son to adopt as soon as possible while I am still healthy, or wait until I am no longer healthy to consider this matter, the entire court will probably be in chaos."

"I have worked diligently over the years and finally made the people live a stable life, but I didn't expect that in the end, all my efforts would fail. Because of the issue of the successor to the throne, the world has been thrown into chaos again."

Jiang Chunxi wiped her tears and asked, "Which prince's offspring does the emperor plan to adopt? Does he already have a candidate in mind?"

The Dog Emperor conferred titles of princes upon all of his half-brothers. Even though they were half-brothers, the Dog Emperor was very generous to his brothers. However, he was extremely harsh to the meritorious officials of the Jiang family who had used the entire clan's strength to help him.

She has been the queen for five years, but the dog emperor has not yet thought of giving preferential treatment to the Jiang family.

"I plan to adopt the child of Prince Cheng," the emperor said. "Prince Cheng's concubine just gave birth to a son. The child is only one month old. It would be best if I could bring the child into the palace for you to raise."

Even if the emperor wanted to adopt a child, he would not choose a child who was already aware of things. Instead, he would choose a baby who knew nothing, and he and Chunxi would personally raise the child to be what they wanted.

"Oh! By the way," the emperor continued, "I have already issued an imperial decree to allow the Jiang family to return to the capital. Originally, I should have allowed the Jiang family to return to the capital when you were crowned queen, but because of the death of the empress dowager, I overlooked it."

The emperor was very unsure about his own health, so he could only give Jiang Chunxi more confidence. In that case, if he really passed away early, he wouldn't have to worry about Chunxi and his stepson being bullied by others as an orphan and a widow. Therefore, the Jiang family must return to Beijing and must enter the court. Next, he will support the Jiang family to gain a place in the court as soon as possible.
