Chapter 263 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (XII)
Seeing the Queen's slightly sharp eyes, the two of them hurriedly saluted and said, "Greetings, Her Majesty."
They weren't eavesdropping on purpose. Wasn't it that the Queen wouldn't enter the hall, so they could only stand here?
There are many good shows.
Queen Ji nodded casually and hurried into the hall.
Ji Mingyue: "Let's go in too."
Ji Wei: "Yes, sister goes first."
Ji Mingyue glanced at Ji Wei and hurriedly followed Queen Ji.
Ji Wei slowed down her pace, glanced at the person in front of her, and couldn't help but smile.
Empress Ji: "Concubine Xu, please stop slandering me! The Emperor and the Empress Dowager entrusted your pregnancy to me. I am indeed responsible for this mistake, but how could I harm you?"
Empress Ji: "The child in your belly is His Majesty's firstborn. He is of great significance to me, His Majesty, and even Daliang. I will only ensure your safe delivery and will never harm the royal heir! Not to mention using my gift to manipulate you! Do you think I am so stupid and cruel? Don't make such a fuss here and let those who are plotting against us laugh at us."
Concubine Xu: "Your Majesty, I am only stating the truth and I dare not slander you. The fertility-giving Guanyin you sent me was soaked in medicine. When you sent it to me, the senior palace maid beside you said that this fertility-giving Guanyin was very effective and was blessed by a master. Poor me, I happily worshipped it every day, but I didn't expect that it would really send my son away. I hate it! My son is wronged!"
Ji Wei lowered her head and stood respectfully aside. No one noticed that her eyes were filled with hatred and pleasure.
In her previous life, Concubine Xu had tortured her more than once or twice. Kneeling as punishment was just a small trick. The most hateful time was when she secretly sent someone to push her into an icy cold pool. No one had passed by for a long time and she almost died. It was Ji Mingyue who sent people to find her and rescued her. So she did not vent her anger on Ji Mingyue at all, but was extremely grateful to her.
But after Ji Wei died, she found out that Ji Mingyue had actually passed by there a long time ago. She watched her struggle in the water for a quarter of an hour, and only sent someone to pull her ashore when she saw that she was dying! What a vicious woman! Ji Wei would not let this sweet-faced but bitter-hearted good sister go!
Ji Wei felt that her later pregnancy and difficult labor were not only due to her elder sister's conspiracy, but also due to Concubine Xu's contribution, which damaged her body and made her pregnancy difficult. She hated these women in the harem very much, and she would start with Concubine Xu, because Concubine Xu had bullied her, a little beauty, in her previous life.
Thinking about what happened in her previous life, she couldn't help but think that Concubine Xu was really a bully who only feared the strong and bullied the weak. When her elder sister was Concubine Ji in her previous life, Concubine Xu didn't dare to cause trouble for Ji Mingyue when she was angry, so she specifically went after her, Ji Mingyue's half-sister.
From the beginning of this life, Concubine Xu was made to know that she was not someone to be trifled with. Since she was somewhat favored by the Emperor, no one dared to provoke her. As expected, kind people are often bullied. Ji Wei swore that in this life, she was the only one who would bully others!
Empress Ji felt annoyed when she saw Concubine Xu crying. She was the daughter of a military general, and although her mind was not very pure, she was not a bad person either.
Because there were few women in my father's harem, my mother gave birth to one daughter and two sons, and only one concubine gave birth to a son. However, she was usually well-behaved and had never been exposed to any secrets in the harem.
Empress Ji didn't want to argue with Concubine Xu, but she had to.
Empress Ji: "Concubine Xu, please think carefully about what you are saying. To tell you the truth, the Guanyin Bodhisattva was given to me by the Empress Dowager. I later reported it to the Empress Dowager and gave it to you as a gift! Before giving it to you, I personally asked the director of the Imperial Hospital to examine it, and there is nothing wrong with it! Are you trying to say that I and the Empress Dowager are trying to harm you?"
Concubine Xu was stunned for a moment and stopped crying.
Even if the Queen Mother preferred her niece Cui Li, she wouldn't harm her own grandson, right? Even though they weren't biological children.
