Chapter 961: Palace Maids and Concubines 4
When Jiang Chunxi returned to the Liuli Palace, Jing Da Ying was still kneeling in the sun, the hair on his forehead was soaked with sweat, and he was at his limit and on the verge of collapse.
"Poor thing," Jiang Chunxi walked up to Jing Ying and said, "Hurry up and get up! Seeing you so pitiful, I can't bear it anymore."
"Empress Min, what exactly do you want in exchange for letting me go?" Jing agreed weakly. "Even if I did wrong you in the past, I've already received my retribution, haven't I?"
"Let's not talk about the three years I've spent in the cold palace, let's talk about my family! They're still suffering in exile." Jing agreed, tears streaming down her face, and kowtowed humbly to Jiang Chunxi. "Empress Min, for the sake of our past friendship, please let me go! If you're unwilling to let me go, then just give me a quick death!"
"Oh! Look at your humble appearance, it really makes me happy." Jiang Chunxi looked down at Jing Ying and said with a smile, "It's a pity that your trick may be useful to others, but it is of no use to me at all."
"After all, I've been serving you since I was little, and I know you too well. To put it bluntly, the moment you raise your tail, I know what you're thinking."
"So, you'd better save your energy! You're trying to play tricks on me, but you don't even know your own worth."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Chunxi gave Jing Ao Ying a contemptuous look and walked away. After all, the sun was very scorching now, and she would not ask for trouble and waste her time talking to Jing Ao Ying in the sun.
Jing agreed and looked at Jiang Chunxi's back with resentment in her eyes, but in the end she had to put away the resentment in her eyes.
In the next few days, Jing Ying was tortured by Jiang Chunxi to the point where she was worse than death. The emperor, whom Jing Ying had high hopes for, had always ignored her, which naturally made Jing Ying resent the emperor.
However, she still believed that the emperor had her in his heart, and it was because of this reason that she did not despair.
Of course Jing promised this kind of person that she would not give up easily. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would never despair.
As Jing agreed and waited anxiously, the emperor finally turned over her green card, and that night she was taken to Chengde Palace to receive his favor.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has turned over the green card that Jing agreed to. Aren't you worried?" Jiang Chunxi sat in the bathtub. The palace maid Qing behind her helped her wipe her body and asked worriedly:
"What should I worry about?" Jiang Chunxi sneered. "Jing promised to be just a grasshopper in my hand. Can she fly out of my Five Finger Mountain? If I don't want to torture her, it wouldn't be easy to crush her to death."
"That's right," said Xuan, another palace maid, as she was seen scattering flower petals on the bathtub. "Our Empress has the Empress Dowager's support, not to mention the Emperor's doting on her over the past few years. No matter how special Jing Da Ying is in the Emperor's heart, the person he values most is definitely the Empress. How can Jing Da Ying compare to the Empress?"
"But, Your Majesty," Zixuan changed the subject, "isn't it time for you to conceive a prince? The Emperor is desperately hoping for a son. He's so anxious! If you don't give birth to a prince, he'll be worried sick."
Having been given a loyalty token by Jiang Chunxi, Zixuan and Ziqing naturally knew that only their master could give birth to a prince.
"It's time to give birth to a prince for His Majesty," Jiang Chunxi sneered lazily, "otherwise, if His Majesty gets anxious about having a son and something bad happens to him, I'll be guilty."
"Of course, the most important thing is that I have my eyes on the position of Imperial Concubine and want to be even more arrogant and domineering, so it's really time to arrange the birth of a prince."
At the same time, in Chengde Hall.
The emperor looked at Jing Yu's bruised knee with heartache in his eyes, but in his heart he felt a little disgusted: "I'm sorry for wronging you. I didn't expect that after I punished Concubine Min, Concubine Min would still torture you like this."
As he spoke, the emperor's eyes moved away from Jing Da Ying's knees and looked at Jing Da Ying's face, but...
After experiencing the inhuman torture at the hands of Jiang Chunxi during this period, Jing Da Ying's original beauty was reduced to only 60% or 70%. In such a situation, how could the emperor still have any interest in her?
He suddenly felt a little regretful about turning over the green card that Jing had agreed to, and felt that he really needed other women to please him.
"Your Majesty," Jing agreed, crying and snuggling into the emperor's arms, "Please save me! I really can't stand it anymore. Can you bear to watch me being tortured to death by Concubine Min?"
"I don't believe it," Jing agreed and shook her head vigorously. "Your Majesty has me in his heart. You and I used to be so close. In your heart, I am different from the concubines in the harem. So how could Your Majesty watch me being tortured to death by Concubine Min and lose the one you love?"
The emperor pushed Jing away from his arms and said, "You should rest well tonight! Your knee is injured like this, and I can't bear to let you sleep with me."
"Someone, come! Send Jing Ying to the side hall to rest."
"Your Majesty," Jing agreed and hugged the emperor's arm, "Are you really going to be so cruel to me? Could it be that you no longer have a place for me in your heart? If you already have no place for me in your heart, then why did you secretly send people to the cold palace to take care of me all these years?"
"Or," Jing agreed, caressing her face with one hand, "or is it that my appearance has been damaged, so my beauty has faded and my love has faded. The Emperor, looking at my haggard face, can no longer feel any love for me."
"Your Majesty," Jing agreed, crying in despair, "You can't treat me like this. I give you my whole heart, and my love for you is so pure. How could you..."
"That's enough," the emperor interrupted Jing's promise in an irritated tone. "Jing, at this point, are you still going to treat me like a fool? In your eyes, I'm that kind of foolish emperor. Can you treat me like a fool again and again with just a few words?"
The emperor then pulled away Jing's hand from his arm and said, "I didn't want to argue with you because of our past friendship, but I didn't expect that this would only allow you to get even more aggressive. You even claimed that your love for me was pure. If your love for me was truly so pure, without any worldly desires, then why did you use the palace maids around you to win over the eunuchs in front of the emperor?"
"Jing agrees," the emperor pinched Jing agrees' chin, "don't destroy the last bit of affection I have for you. If you continue to play tricks on me with your little tricks, then you will continue to stay in the cold palace!"
