Chapter 1035 That will be the date of Concubine Chen's death
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Nangong Xuanyu was reviewing memorials when Li Changde suddenly walked in and reported, "Your Majesty, Shuixi Pavilion just sent a message saying that Concubine Chun suddenly had a miscarriage..."
Nangong Xuanyu raised his eyes, frowned and asked: "What's going on?"
Li Changde said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it is said that Concubine Wang and Concubine Chun had an argument, and Concubine Chun got emotional and had a miscarriage. But the imperial physician has examined her and prescribed a pregnancy-preserving medicine for Concubine Chun, so it should not be a serious matter."
Nangong Xuanyu's deep eyes flashed with annoyance: "Why is Concubine Wang so ignorant? Knowing that Concubine Chun is weak, she still wants to provoke her."
Li Changde bent over and said, "I heard that because Concubine Chun and Concubine Chen were both very charming, and she imitated Concubine Chen's clothing and appearance intentionally or unintentionally, Concubine Wang said that Concubine Chun was imitating Concubine Chen."
Nangong Xuanyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "What Wangpin said makes sense."
Li Changde: “…”
Didn’t Your Majesty just say that Concubine Wang is ignorant?
No matter what, Concubine Chun was the only pregnant concubine in the palace, so Li Changde still asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to go see Concubine Chun?"
Nangong Xuanyu lowered his head and continued to review memorials. Without even raising his head, he said, "Since the imperial physician has already examined her and said she is no longer a problem, what's the point of me going again?"
Li Changde responded "yes" and said nothing more.
If it were Concubine Chen, His Majesty would probably have rushed to Zhongcui Palace as soon as he heard the news.
Different favors naturally lead to different treatments. Otherwise, why would the ladies and concubines in the palace try so hard to climb up?
……
Water Creek Pavilion.
Concubine Chun lay on the couch and asked slowly, "Has the news reached the emperor?"
Yingxiang walked in and said with her head down, "My lord, His Majesty already knows what happened this morning."
Concubine Chun then asked, "Then why hasn't Your Majesty come to Shuixi Pavilion to see me yet?"
Didn’t His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin say that Your Majesty values offspring the most?
Yingxiang stammered, "This... this... maybe your majesty is busy with government affairs and can't leave for the time being."
"Perhaps His Majesty will come to dine with the young lady tonight!"
Concubine Chun rolled her eyes and felt a little annoyed.
Doesn't she understand men yet?
When His Majesty heard that she had a miscarriage, he didn't even rush over eagerly. Would he still think of her afterwards?
It seems that this child does not mean that much to His Majesty the Emperor.
She had heard that when Concubine Chen was pregnant, His Majesty went to Zhongcui Palace almost every day. Which woman in the harem could compare to that treatment?
Why is the difference so big when it comes to her?
Yingxiang continued to comfort her, "My lady, you are the only pregnant woman in the harem now, you are very precious!"
"Even if your majesty cannot spare the time today, I will always come to see you later."
Concubine Chun thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so she didn't dwell on it anymore.
Anyway, she is just seeking favor and doesn't really like His Majesty.
Then, Concubine Chun asked again, "Did your Majesty say how to deal with Concubine Wang?"
That woman was the culprit who caused her miscarriage!
"This……"
Seeing Yingxiang hesitating, Concubine Chun frowned and said, "Just say it if you have something to say!"
Yingxiang then gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty said... all matters in the harem are under the jurisdiction of Concubine Chen."
"I heard that Concubine Chen had already punished Concubine Wang, so His Majesty did not inquire about the matter any further."
Concubine Wang went to Zhongcui Palace to apologize early this morning and was eventually fined three months' salary. Concubine Chun had heard about it.
But she didn't take it to heart.
He caused a pregnant concubine to have a miscarriage, but was only fined three months' salary. Isn't this punishment too light?
It is obvious that Concubine Chen is trying to protect Concubine Wang!
Concubine Chun has always been thinking that the child she is pregnant with is not Concubine Chen's, so Concubine Chen certainly doesn't care. But when His Majesty hears about this, he will definitely punish Concubine Wang severely!
She was already waiting to see what would happen to the other party!
Who knew... that His Majesty would give such an answer...
Concubine Chun angrily threw the teacup on the ground: "What did you say?!"
"Three months' salary is nothing to a concubine. Your Majesty, do you really not care about my child?!"
"The princess caused my miscarriage, but he didn't punish her severely..."
She actually thought that after this incident, Concubine Wang might be demoted to a noble lady.
By then, they will all be noble ladies, and she will have one more title than Wangpin. What capital will Wangpin have to show off in front of her?
But the final result was so disappointing to Concubine Chun...
Yingxiang said: "My lady, calm down!"
"Your Majesty, it's not that you don't care about your child. It's clearly because of the punishment given to Concubine Wang. It was ordered by Concubine Chen."
"If Your Majesty punishes Concubine Wang again, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of Concubine Chen, making everyone think that she is not good at managing the harem, so Your Majesty intervened in this matter?"
"Your Majesty dotes on Concubine Chen so much, of course he won't do this."
"In the final analysis, it's because Concubine Chen is protecting Concubine Wang."
Concubine Chun also understood this, and a chill appeared in her eyes: "Oh! I knew that Concubine Chen is not someone who can tolerate others!"
"Fortunately, the plan of this palace and the prince will soon be implemented."
"Then...that will be the date of Concubine Chen's death!"
Since His Majesty likes charming and beautiful women, without the example of Concubine Chen, she can monopolize his favor!
Yingxiang complimented, "My lord, you are wise!"
"In this case, you might as well be patient for a while longer."
Concubine Chun touched her belly and said worriedly, "The prince has been under house arrest for so long, I don't know how he is doing now..."
After she knew she was pregnant, there must be many people in the palace watching Shuixi Pavilion. So Concubine Chun did not dare to rashly send a message to Prince Jin at this time.
If she were discovered, it wouldn't matter if she was unlucky, but if she implicated the prince, that would be a crime worthy of death.
At this time, a palace maid came in and announced, "My lady, Caiju from Chuxiu Palace is here."
Caiju is the head maid serving Concubine Kang.
Concubine Chun immediately said, "Let her in."
"Yes."
After entering Shuixi Pavilion, Caiju politely bowed to Concubine Chun: "This servant greets Concubine Chun, may you be blessed with good fortune!"
"No need to be polite."
Concubine Chun looked at Caiju with a smile: "Why are you here? What does Concubine Kang want?"
Cai Ju signaled the maid behind her to hand the gift to the people in Shuixi Pavilion: "Her Majesty heard that the noble lady had a miscarriage and was very worried, so she specially ordered me to bring some supplements over."
There is a saying in the Great Zhou that those who are not of my race must have different hearts, so there are not many concubines in the harem who are on good terms with Concubine Chun.
