Chapter 427 The Tragic Queen 25
It is worth mentioning here that no one in the harem became pregnant in the past year.
Li agreed to lift the house arrest, so naturally she had to go to Kunluan Palace to pay her respects.
That morning, the concubines in the harem all arrived at Kunluan Palace early.
When Li Da Ying walked in, all eyes looked at her, and when the concubines in the harem saw Li Da Ying's appearance, they were startled at first, and then they all showed relieved expressions, and while those concubines who had suffered miscarriages felt relieved, they also felt that this was far from enough.
After all, the hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable.
But torturing Li Da Ying was not enough. Only if Li Da Ying died could the hatred in their hearts be relieved.
Yes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would demand that Li agree to it, and this would naturally be done by the concubines in the harem. Jiang Chunxi didn't need to do anything at all, and naturally someone would do it for her.
"Oh! It's only been a year since we last met, how come Li Da Ying has changed so much? Look at how shabby you are now. When I suddenly saw you just now, I didn't recognize you. I thought it was an old nanny from some palace who accidentally broke into Kunluan Palace." This was the voice of Concubine Su.
"Li Da Ying, it's only been a year, you've aged so fast!" This was the voice of a commoner. "Tell me, if the emperor saw Li Da Ying's current state, would he feel heartache or dislike for her?"
"Who knows?" This was the voice of a nobleman. "After all, Li Da Ying is special in the emperor's heart. Maybe when the emperor saw Li Da Ying like this, he just felt distressed, not disgusted. You know, the emperor didn't even care about his own flesh and blood for Li Da Ying."
"Li Yi, where are your rules?" This was Concubine Yi's voice. "Or have you forgotten the rules after being confined for a year? Don't you, a mere Yi, know how to behave when you see a concubine who is higher in rank than you?"
"Yulan," Concubine Yi said to the maid behind her, "bring Lady Li here to pay her respects to me."
"Yes, your majesty." Yu Lan immediately came behind Li Da Ying.
"Let me go." Li agreed and broke free from Yu Lan's control.
"Haha!" Concubine Xin sneered coldly, "Return to me, it seems that Li Da Ying still cannot see clearly her own identity."
"Someone, come! Go and slap Li Yingda in the face."
"Clap!"
The palace maid behind Concubine Xin immediately rushed to Li Da Ying and slapped her hard several times.
"What are you doing?" At this moment Jiang Chunxi appeared.
"Empress, I am having someone punish Li Yingying." Concubine Xin stood up and answered Jiang Chunxi's words, "Li Yingying is just a small concubine now, but she dared to call herself this palace. She is so ignorant of the rules, so I took the initiative to have someone slap Li Yingying in the face."
"Okay, sit down!" Jiang Chunxi's words were equivalent to not blaming Xinpin. She then looked at Li Yingying and said, "Li Yingying got into trouble right after she was released from house arrest. It seems that during this year of house arrest, Li Yingying did not reflect on the sins she committed."
"I dare not." Li agreed and said humiliatingly. She did not have the slightest capital to be arrogant now, and she had no ability to fight back against the vicious Queen.
"You say you dare not, but you may not agree with me in your heart," Jiang Chunxi's face was naturally not good, "Li promised, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance, if you dare to do evil again, I will let the emperor execute you even if I have to risk my life as the queen, so you'd better take care of yourself, there are so many people in the harem watching you, I won't tolerate you committing sins again."
"Empress, there is no way a vicious woman like Li Cheng will listen to your words," this was Concubine Su's voice. "For a person like her who is born vicious, asking her to stop doing evil is no different from asking her to die."
"Fox charmer," one of the promises who spoke up gritted his teeth and said, "The emperor is also confused. Why would he favor such a vicious and fox charmer like Li?"
"Alright, a mere concubine like you can't scold the emperor," Jiang Chunxi looked at the concubine with a cold look, "Copy the palace rules ten times and hand them in to Kunluan Palace in ten days."
"Yes." The one who agreed naturally accepted the punishment obediently, and at the same time, he couldn't stop sweating on his back.
You have to know that she is just a small concubine and is not favored. She was really confused just now and dared to scold the emperor.
"Okay, let's all go!" Jiang Chunxi was too lazy to continue watching the fun, so she just shouted for everyone to disperse.
It was really boring to see Li agreeing like this.
After leaving Kunluan Palace, the concubines headed by Concubine Yi naturally had no intention of letting Li Da Ying go. Therefore, when Li Da Ying returned to her palace, she was as embarrassed and miserable as she could be, and she even walked with a limp.
This was kicked by Concubine Yi's maid, who said it was a lesson for her not knowing how to perform etiquette, so that she would know how to perform etiquette when she saw Concubine Yi next time.
Anyway! When Li agreed to return to her palace, she collapsed on the bed and cried.
The emperor naturally knew about what happened to Li Da Ying, but he didn't say anything and didn't think about meeting Li Da Ying, because he didn't know how to face Li Da Ying now.
When it comes to torturing people, the concubines in the harem are the best at it. In the following time, Li Da Ying experienced what it meant to live a life worse than death. Especially when she saw that the emperor did nothing, she tortured Li Da Ying even more fiercely.
Three years passed in a flash. During these three years, Li promised to save herself. As long as she could regain the emperor's favor, those concubines in the harem would not dare to torture her openly anymore.
But the problem is, when it comes to dealing with Li Da Ying, everyone is united. How could they possibly allow Li Da Ying a chance to regain favor?
It is worth mentioning that no one in the harem had been pregnant for three years, which made the former dynasty and the harem unable to help but talk about it. They all said that this was retribution for the emperor, because the emperor did not care about his offspring before, so God simply cut off the emperor's offspring.
This was not done by Jiang Chunxi, but by the emperor's brothers. After all, the emperor had no children, which made his brothers ambitious.
The emperor was very angry and ordered severe punishment of some people, but even so, he could not stop the rumors.
That night the emperor came to Kunluan Palace with a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, your servant greets you." Jiang Chunxi saluted the emperor, and her attitude towards him was indifferent. After all, no matter how stupid you pretend to be, there must be a limit.
When the emperor resisted the pressure and said he would not execute Li Da Ying, anyone with a brain could see clearly the position of Li Da Ying in the emperor's heart. If Jiang Chunxi continued to believe the emperor's lies, then she was either stupid or she was planning something bad.
Therefore, in the past few years, Jiang Chunxi has been indifferent to the emperor, as if she has sealed her heart and locked away her love for him, and she has almost never smiled at the emperor.
