Concubine Jiang suddenly sat up, almost twisting her waist because she moved too fast and too hastily.
"You...what did you say?" She looked at Zhou Meiren in disbelief, and couldn't believe her ears.
To kill or to save? Did she hear it wrong?
Zheng Ji was also very shocked. What Zhou Meiren said was "Kill the Third Highness", which she heard clearly.
But how is this possible?
However, Zhou Meiren continued to say: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, you heard me right. My first request is to kill the Third Highness!"
Zheng Ji opened his mouth, feeling that he was still too young.
If she remembered correctly, Zheng Xun was born by Zhou Meiren, right? Besides Zheng Xun, Zhou Meiren has no other heirs. Does Zhou Meiren’s words have a deeper meaning?
As if she was afraid that they wouldn't understand, Zhou Meiren patiently explained: "Your Highness, what I said is literally what I meant. It's not fake death or anything like that. There is no deep meaning."
"Zhou Jun, do you know what you are talking about?" Concubine Jiang frowned, her charming tone turning cold.
Zhou Meiren's expression remained unchanged and she replied: "My dear concubine, I know what I am talking about. Come to think of it, it will be difficult to bring His Highness back to Jingzhao, but His Highness has a long-term plan in his hands to kill a person who has been exiled under house arrest, and Isn’t it difficult?”
Zheng Ji looked at Zhou Meiren deeply, unable to imagine that this bookish person could have such a vicious heart.
Even if the tiger's venom is not eaten, Zhou Meiren wants someone else to kill her own son?
Could it be that Zheng Xun is not Meiren Zhou’s biological child?
Zheng Ji turned his gaze to Concubine Jiang and asked, but Concubine Jiang shook her head in confusion.
She really didn't know that when she went to the emperor, His Highness was already seven or eight years old. How could she know?
Besides, she would never know such a secret thing, whether it was true or false.
Zhou Meiren saw the interaction between their mother and daughter and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness is indeed the son of a concubine and is indeed the Emperor's child."
Then...why did you want to kill him?
"You have all seen that because of him, I and the Zhou family are deeply implicated. As long as he is alive, the emperor and the prince will remember his murder, and my life in the palace will be difficult. Only when he is gone and death is like a lamp going out, can all the crises caused by him be completely cut off and I can live a good life again."
Concubine Jiang and Zheng Ji never expected that Concubine Zhou would say this.
It sounds reasonable, but...the third prince Zheng Xun is Zhou Meiren's biological son!
In this world, which mother would be willing to kill her own son?
Zhou Meiren stretched out her hand to cover her abdomen, and actually smiled and said: "The Imperial Concubine, Your Highness, what do you not understand about this? In this world, since there is a mother like the Imperial Concubine who cares about His Highness, naturally there is also a concubine who cares about herself. A person who is far better than a son. Because of the son, I will not have a good life in the future, so why can't I find a way to solve it?"
"Bullshit! Zhou Yun, I think you are confused in reading! Is this what a mother should say? Is this what a person can say? He is your son, your biological son!" Concubine Jiang was so angry Swearing.
After scolding, he was still angry and said directly to Zheng Ji: "Xiao Jiu, she is crazy, you ignore her! This madman! Zhou Yun, get out of Fuqing Palace immediately, I will just pretend that I have never seen you. !」
Zheng Ji didn't answer. Her eyes fell on Zhou Meiren's movements. She suddenly thought of something and blurted out: "You...are you pregnant?"
What?
Concubine Jiang subconsciously looked at Zhou Meiren's abdomen, and then noticed that her hands were placed on her abdomen. This... is actually very obvious!
Zhou Meiren caressed her abdomen, with a gentle smile on her lips, and did not deny it: "Yes, I am pregnant. I only found out a few days ago. It was only a few days ago, and even the imperial doctor didn't know."
Her loving gesture was in sharp contrast to the ruthlessness with which she tried to kill Zheng Xun just now, which made Zheng Ji's scalp numb for a while.
Could it be that as the mother-in-law said, Zhou Meiren was confused by reading and couldn't accept Zheng Xun's failure, so her mind went crazy?
In fact, Meiren Zhou is not only not crazy, but also very sober.
She let go of her hands, knelt down, and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, this is my first request. My second request is that your Majesty and Your Highness must keep the fetus in my belly. , I am willing to dedicate this body to the imperial concubine and Your Highness."
Concubine Jiang took a deep breath, her expression extremely ugly.
She thought that what she just heard was beyond her knowledge, and she didn't want to hear such words again.
It seems that I am not old enough.
"What does it mean to dedicate to me?" She laughed angrily and stared at Zhou Meiren coldly.
Zhou Meiren didn't seem to notice her anger, but still smiled and said, "It is rumored that the imperial concubine will never be able to conceive. I don't know whether it is true or not. If this is true, then the baby I have will belong to the empress."
"If the empress is willing, I will hide in Fuqing Palace from now on. The empress can declare to the outside world that this is your child, but I will never tell anyone. If the empress is not willing..."
She didn't care about the expressions of Concubine Jiang and Zheng Ji, and finished her words: "It's so simple... I just want to ask the Queen and Your Highness to protect this child. If he can ascend to that position in the future, he will definitely repay the favor to the Queen and Your Highness."
After Zhou Meiren said so much, it seemed that Concubine Jiang and Zheng Ji had two choices, but they were actually the same thing.
That is to ask them to keep this fetus and support this fetus to become the emperor!
Oh, it might not be correct to say that the fetus is just a blood mass.
Zheng Ji did not agree, nor did he say he would not agree. He only asked: "Beauty Zhou, how do you know that the child in your belly must be a prince? What if it is a princess?"
"No, I know he is the prince, so he must be the prince!" Zhou Meiren said firmly.
After that, her tone softened a lot, and she was still trying to persuade Zheng Ji and the two of them: "The emperor is in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period. Even if he is established early, the prince cannot become an enemy. When the emperor is old, it is the fetus and crown in my womb. At that time. My Majesty, you are the best at calculating. You will never lose money in this kind of business, right?"
Zheng Ji was silent. She looked at Meiren Zhou carefully and discovered that the words Meiren said came completely from her heart.
Meiren Zhou really thought so and said so.
Is this really a mother?
When a mother has an accident with her son, what she thinks about is not how to save her son, but how to get rid of her son for the sake of her own position of power?
You know, Zheng Xun was just imprisoned, not dead, he could still come back.
Besides, since the emperor reduced her to a beauty, this is her punishment and there will be no other charges.
If the father knew that Zhou Meiren was pregnant, he would not care about what happened before. In this way, Zhou Meiren's future treatment will not be as good as Concubine Shu's before, but it won't be too bad either.
There is absolutely no need for Zhou Meiren to do this because of a blood clot. This is beyond the logic of a normal person.
Zheng Ji couldn't understand. The only possibility was that Meiren Zhou was really crazy.
She leaned back and said calmly: "What if I say that I won't agree to any of your requests?"
Whether it is to kill Zheng Xun or to protect this piece of blood to ascend the throne, Zheng Ji thinks it is extremely ridiculous. She has no desire to accompany Zhou Meiren to go crazy.
Zhou Meiren shook her head and said: "The noble concubine and the empress must agree, otherwise... I will not say these words in Fuqing Palace."
She raised her head and smiled at Zheng Ji, then opened her mouth and said three words.
