He heard the sound of the teacup breaking and the Queen Mother's angry shout. He hurried slowly but still arrived a step too late.
Aunt Gui was originally standing next to the Queen Mother. As soon as Jiang Xinyue went crazy, she rushed over and was ready to grab Jiang Xinyue's hand, fearing that she would hurt the Queen Mother Wu and Concubine Shu.
Little did she know that as soon as she grabbed Zhenbi's hand, she was kicked hard in the chest. Her whole body flew out and hit the column of the hall. Her internal organs seemed to have been displaced. She was rolling on the ground in pain.
Emperor Xuanwu's angry eyes passed over Empress Dowager Wu who wanted to explain but didn't know where to start, and fell on the dumbfounded Concubine Shu.
The disappointment in his eyes hurt Concubine Shu deeply, and she stared back at Emperor Xuanwu, refusing to give in at all.
Jiang Xinyue, who was being hugged by the emperor and princess, revealed half of her face with blood marks. She nestled in his arms and shook her head: "Your Majesty, I am fine, please don't be angry, okay?"
It was obvious that she was the one who was injured, but she still wanted to comfort Emperor Xuanwu, not wanting to affect his emotions.
Emperor Xuanwu hugged her tightly, took the belt into his arms, and said to Empress Dowager Wu: "Mother, I think that you are my biological mother, and I have been tolerant to you again and again, but don't forget that I am my biological mother." This is the emperor of Yan. Whoever you want to favor and give dignity to is your freedom. If your mother makes trouble in your harem again and again, I will have no choice but to send you there. The palace is here to escape the heat."
The palace is far away in Qinzhou. Although it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the emperor takes his ministers and concubines to escape the summer every two years, it is only a palace after all. How can it be as luxurious as a real palace?
Empress Dowager Wu took two steps back angrily. Emperor Xuanwu and Jiang Xinyue were so angry that she trembled with anger. She pointed at Emperor Xuanwu with a trembling hand: "Okay... you are an emperor... the Ai family gave birth to you and raised you, and why? You’ve raised a grudge, haven’t you? You’re so unfilial and you’re yelling and screaming about a scheming concubine and your own biological mother. If word spreads, you’ll be pointed at your spine and scolded.”
When the late emperor lived in the palace, he fell out of favor and had no children. He had several crazy concubines, many of whom had a grudge against Empress Dowager Wu. Those people were madmen. Who knows if they would take their anger out on her?
An emperor who disrespects his biological mother has bad moral character and is not worthy of being the emperor of the Yan Dynasty.
Emperor Xuanwu squinted his eyes and looked at Concubine Shu's belly. His eyes became sharp and cold. Concubine Shu subconsciously protected her belly.
The emperor just... was so scary!
Jiang Xinyue felt that she now looked like the vicious female supporting character White Lotus in the heroine novel.
She looked at Emperor Xuanwu worriedly, shook her head at him, and said to Empress Dowager Wu with great grievance: "The Queen Mother, Concubine Shu, all the mistakes you make are the fault of my concubines. Please don't blame the Emperor, he... ...He is just worried about my unsatisfactory health. I am here to apologize to the Queen Mother. Please forgive me."
The more Jiang Xinyue acted so coquettishly, the angrier Empress Dowager Wu became, until her eyes turned red.
But her reason reminded her again that she must not get angry, because getting angry would get into the hands of a little bitch like Zhen Bin.
Originally he wanted to provoke her and make her lose her temper, but now she suppressed her emotions and went down the steps given by Jiang Xinyue.
Empress Dowager Wu endured it again and again before rushing up to pull her hair. She sneered: "The Ai family cannot bear Concubine Zhen's apology. Since the emperor is protecting you, the Ai family can't do anything to you. I hope you will behave yourself in the future. Stop targeting Concubine Shu, she is just a kind-hearted child, and you, Emperor, know this better than Ai Jia."
The Queen Mother is indeed a master of palace fighting who has experienced hundreds of battles. A few words aroused Emperor Xuanwu's suspicion of Jiang Xinyue and his fond memories of Concubine Shu.
He fell in love with Concubine Shu in the first place precisely because he was ignored by Empress Dowager Wu when he was young and was always sad alone. Only Concubine Shu noticed his loss and sadness and always comforted him and tried her best to make him happy.
When Wu Chengyi deliberately bullied him and showed off the Queen Mother's love for him in front of him, only Concubine Shu would come forward to reprimand Wu Chengyi and not allow him to be rude to Emperor Xuanwu.
He married the Crown Princess at the age of thirteen, but the real person in his heart at that time was the Concubine Shu who was still waiting to be married.
The Wu family refused to marry Concubine Shu into the East Palace. In addition to feeling that there was no need to bring in a biological daughter with the Queen Mother in the palace, how could they not look down on him?
His persistence in his youth was finally achieved through his persistent efforts, but he found that Concubine Shu didn't really love him and was only compromising for the sake of the family.
That's why Emperor Xuanwu fell in love with Concubine Li.
For so many years, he had kept this secret very well. No one knew that the woman he loved most was Concubine Shu, but it was revealed by Empress Dowager Wu.
He stopped and the expression on his face did not change much, but Jiang Xinyue knew that at this moment, he was already at war between heaven and man.
On one side is Concubine Bai Yueguang, and on the other is the new favorite concubine. The palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh.
"emperor……"
She consciously struggled down from the emperor's arms, and Emperor Xuanwu did not forcefully hold her.
Jiang Xinyue covered her face with a handkerchief: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu was frightened just now. She is pregnant. Go and see her! I am fine and can return to the palace by myself."
She smiled sweetly, but she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes. Before the tears fell, she squatted down in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, turned around and ran out.
The tears fell so fast that when she ran away, Emperor Xuanwu had already seen the tears rolling down her pointed chin.
My heart suddenly hurt as if it was being grabbed by someone.
The emperor looked at Concubine Shu, finally sighed, and stretched out his hand towards her: "Wang Dequan has sent the imperial doctor to Jingren Palace."
Concubine Shu's heart was relieved, and she cried and held Emperor Xuanwu's hand.
She didn't lose...
Between her and Concubine Zhen, the Emperor would always choose her.
Xiao Xuanzi was a little puzzled. When he looked at Jiang Xinyue, he seemed hesitant to speak.
His hesitant look was noticed by Jiang Xinyue, so she sat up straight and said, "Just ask whatever you want! If I don't tell you, you won't be able to sleep tonight."
Xiao Xuanzi then took a long breath and said: "Your Majesty, we didn't hesitate to hurt ourselves to let the Emperor see this. Why didn't you strike while the iron was hot and let the Emperor come to Hexi Palace, and instead gave the opportunity to Concubine Shu? "
"Do you also think Concubine Shu won?"
Jiang Xinyue looked at Xiao Xuanzi who was nodding. She seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile: "The emperor must also feel so."
If every time she confronts Concubine Shu, she has to compromise and give in step by step. Not only will it nourish Concubine Shu's temperament, but whenever Jiang Xinyue refuses to let her go in the future, she will have a psychological gap, and she will inevitably be dissatisfied with Jiang Xinyue. Resentment arises.
And because of the emperor's unusual treatment of her, she would still have trouble with the emperor. If they had more troubles, the few remaining filters of first love would be broken.
