Chapter 313 The female protagonist ascends to the position of Empress Dowager through her son.
Because of the poisoning incident in the imperial harem, everyone was on edge.
No one dared to lay a hand on the pregnant concubines at this critical juncture.
Taking action at this time would be to offend the Emperor.
Even if Consort Wang was unwilling, she couldn't do anything about it.
They could only watch as the bellies of those concubines grew bigger day by day.
Finally, the fruit ripened and fell from the tree.
One by one, the concubines gave birth to children.
All the children born were princes.
The emperor suddenly had ten princes.
The Emperor opened his private treasury again and rewarded the mothers of the ten princes.
They promoted him to a higher rank and gave him a reward.
Consort Jiang's child was originally intended for the Empress.
Therefore, the child was registered under the Empress's name from birth.
However, the child is usually taken care of by Consort Jiang.
The tea party at Kunning Palace has turned into a children's carnival.
Hearing the laughter and merriment from this side, Consort Wang was so angry that she smashed countless things.
The tea set was no longer worth breaking, so Consort Wang could only throw away her purse and cut up her handkerchiefs now.
After all, the Emperor hadn't visited Consort Wang for a long time.
These rewards haven't been sent for a long time.
Even at the beginning, the Emperor would feel guilty and sympathize with the two women's plight, so he would often come to visit Consort Wang.
Later, the Emperor smelled an unpleasant odor on Consort Wang and began to dislike her.
Even if the emperor is poisoned and cannot touch his concubines.
If the emperor wanted to chat, have a meal, or talk to someone, there were plenty of people available.
And you don't have to put up with the odor.
Consort Wang's status as a favored concubine was gradually eroded in the Emperor's heart.
The imperial harem is the most realistic place.
Consort Wang has fallen out of favor.
Without the emperor's rewards, she had less money to offer.
No money, no benefit.
The palace servants below naturally stopped being so respectful to Consort Wang.
Nothing good will come of it; everything will be sent to Consort Wang first.
Not many people were willing to curry favor with Consort Wang and eagerly send her all sorts of news.
Some even knew that Consort Wang's luck had run out and she could no longer be favored, so they tried to leave Consort Wang's side and seek another wise ruler.
Consort Wang also faced her own backlash.
The harmful things that Consort Wang did have been revealed.
Jiang He learned this from Xu Ruyi.
In the imperial harem, no one's hands are clean.
Consort Wang could pay people to do things for her.
Jiang He could also spend money to have someone smear Consort Wang.
As for evidence, that's not important.
Three become tigers.
If the emperor believes it, then it is true.
Some of the concubines who originally belonged to Consort Wang's camp also took advantage of her misfortune.
The wall fell and everyone pushed.
After learning that Consort Wang had secretly harmed so many children, the Emperor's last remaining affection for her vanished.
Consort Wang was demoted to a palace maid and banished to the Cold Palace.
Consort Wang has been favored ever since she entered the palace.
She had never experienced anything like this before.
She had never suffered like this before.
She couldn't stand it.
In the cold palace, she spent her days surrounded by cockroaches and rats.
In the cold palace, she could only eat scraps.
In the cold palace, she couldn't even get a sip of hot water.
In the cold palace, she had to clean and do laundry herself.
After enduring several months in the cold palace, Consort Wang finally couldn't take it anymore.
She looked at her hands, which were covered in chilblains from the cold.
She also had to fetch water to wash clothes in the biting cold wind.
The well water was icy cold, freezing her heart as well.
Fireworks are in the distance; they're beautiful.
Some people also released sky lanterns.
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve.
Consort Wang seemed to hear the joyful laughter and lively chatter in the inner palace.
But her side was cold and deserted, isolated from the world.
Consort Wang took off the last gold bracelet from her hand.
Because my hands became red and swollen, the gold bracelet was deformed when I took it off.
Consort Wang used this gold bracelet to ask the guards outside to help her order a sumptuous meal and a pot of wine.
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and she wants to have a good New Year.
The guards outside accepted the gold bracelet.
A food box was sent to Consort Wang.
Inside was a bowl of rice, a bowl of braised pork, a steamed fish, and a pot of wine.
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and the imperial kitchen has prepared a very lavish meal.
Moreover, many concubines would prepare a New Year's Eve dinner for the palace servants.
So the guard easily got a meal.
In addition to the food for Consort Wang, the guards outside also ordered themselves a good meal and wine.
Only Consort Wang is in this cold palace, and no one will come here. The guards outside are quite at ease.
Consort Wang returned to her room with the food box.
The room was drafty, and there was no charcoal fire.
Consort Wang tightened her cotton-padded coat and took out the food.
The steaming hot food cooled down after a while.
Consort Wang didn't care and kept drinking, one cup after another.
He drank the whole pot of wine.
Then we started eating.
The braised pork had cooled down, and the broth inside had solidified into a paste.
Consort Wang ate it all, bite by bite.
I ate all the braised pork, steamed fish, and white rice, leaving not a single bite.
She no longer needs to have abundance every year.
There's no need to worry about having food next year.
Consort Wang used all her strength to rush towards the pillar.
Consort Wang is dead.
He died on New Year's Eve.
No one knew that Consort Wang had died.
Even the guards outside didn't bother Consort Wang with asking for favors or caring about what she was doing.
The emperor had long forgotten that there was still a woman in the cold palace.
The emperor now has another woman on his mind.
My heart and eyes are filled with Xu Ruyi.
Even on New Year's Eve, the Emperor did not forget to visit Xu Ruyi.
He probably thought that by visiting Xu Ruyi every day, he might one day get the antidote.
Who knows, one day, the so-called system will appear.
Xu Ruyi is now in a state of mental instability.
Moreover, Xu Ruyi's appearance has also changed.
The system has been offline for too long.
Xu Ruyi's body, which she obtained through system modification, is also slowly changing.
The current Xu Ruyi has returned to the Xu Ruyi of the past.
The Emperor witnessed all these changes firsthand.
The Emperor watched with his own eyes as Xu Ruyi's face gradually transformed into its current ordinary appearance.
Xu Ruyi herself admitted that this was her original appearance.
It's incredible that someone can transform from such an ordinary person into such a fairy.
This is absolutely amazing.
The Emperor became increasingly curious about the system that Xu Ruyi had mentioned.
They even wanted to obtain the system.
If he possessed the system, then his body could also be modified.
He can become stronger.
It can make one more intelligent.
His country can become stronger.
He can better control his subjects.
The system can even help him live longer.
With such a powerful system, achieving these things should be a piece of cake.
The Emperor wants the system? Jiang He can grant his wish.
