Chapter 292: The World of Mad Man and Mad Woman Ends
However, before her death, the Queen Mother chose to tell her grandson that her son was murdered. She could not care about her son's life or death, but she would not allow the person who killed her son to continue living.
Therefore, the Queen Mother told her grandson everything about how Eunuch Qin killed the Emperor and that he was Concubine Zhengui's man.
When Eunuch Qin was preparing to kill the emperor, he didn't think about staying alive, so when the new emperor was about to take action against him, Eunuch Qin chose to commit suicide.
Of course, before he died, Eunuch Qin went to see Jiang Chunxi.
"Master, I am here to say goodbye to you today. You must be careful when I am not around you anymore," Eunuch Qin said to Jiang Chunxi with a smile, "But Master is now the Queen Mother. I don't think anyone would dare to do anything to you. My worries are unnecessary."
"Alas!" Jiang Chunxi sighed slightly, "You shouldn't take such a risk."
After decades of companionship, it is impossible to say that Jiang Chunxi has no feelings for Eunuch Qin.
But to say that there is a deeper level of emotion is also impossible.
"The late emperor lived too long. I really have no choice. After all, the emperor is already forty years old. If the late emperor lives another ten or eight years, then the emperor will be several years old when he ascends the throne." Eunuch Qin said helplessly:
And there was one thing that Eunuch Qin didn't say, which was that if the late emperor lived to be ninety years old, Chunxi's son might have died in front of the late emperor before he ascended the throne.
There was no other way. The late emperor was simply too healthy. Not to mention living to 90, it was possible for him to live to 100. Making Jiang Chunxi the empress dowager had almost become Eunuch Qin's obsession, so Eunuch Qin had no choice but to take the risk, even at the cost of his life.
"Alas!" Jiang Chunxi sighed helplessly, "You and I have been together for decades, but I didn't expect that I would have to collect your body."
As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi looked at Eunuch Qin with tears in her eyes and said, "If you have any unfulfilled wishes, just tell me, I..."
"My Lord, I have no unfulfilled wishes," Eunuch Qin came to Jiang Chunxi and squatted down to wipe the tears from her face, "My greatest wish is to see you become the Queen Mother, and now my wish has been fulfilled, so I have no regrets in my death. I only pray that I can serve you again in my next life."
Jiang Chunxi grabbed Eunuch Qin's hand and held it tightly: "You little dog slave, then you go to the Yellow Springs Road and wait for me first. Don't go too far, or I won't be able to catch up with you."
All Jiang Chunxi can do now is to deceive Eunuch Qin with words so that he can leave happier.
Eunuch Qin held Jiang Chunxi's hand tightly and said, "Okay, I will walk slowly, so that the master won't be able to catch up with me."
Then the two of them talked again, snuggling together to cherish these last moments.
That night, Eunuch Qin committed suicide by taking medicine. After his death, Jiang Chunxi had him buried with great ceremony. This action created a huge gap between her and her son, and the relationship between mother and son almost broke down.
But this is understandable. After all, the late emperor was a very competent father. As a son, how could he not hate the murderer? The emperor even felt that it was his mother who asked Eunuch Qin to do it, otherwise how could a servant like Eunuch Qin have such courage.
The emperor did not know the relationship between Jiang Chunxi and Eunuch Qin, otherwise he would have been even more devastated and even hated Jiang Chunxi, his biological mother.
The Queen Mother only found out that Eunuch Qin was Jiang Chunxi's man, and she didn't know that Jiang Chunxi and Eunuch Qin had that kind of relationship. After all, Jiang Chunxi would never give anyone the chance to suspect that she and Eunuch Qin had that kind of relationship.
Jiang Chunxi did not explain herself for her son's suspicion.
It doesn't really make any difference whether Eunuch Qin made the decision privately or she gave the order, right?
Of course, Jiang Chunxi didn't blame her son for anything. After all, the person who died was her son's biological father, and this father was a competent father, so isn't it normal for her son to hate her as a mother? It's really not the behavior of an ungrateful person.
Jiang Chunxi also left this world one year after Eunuch Qin's death. If her biological mother had not passed away just after her son ascended the throne, rumors that were unfavorable to her son would probably have spread. Otherwise, Jiang Chunxi would not have allowed herself to live for another year.

"Your elder sister asked you to serve the Prince of Chen. This is a great blessing for you. When you arrive at the Prince of Chen's mansion, you must help your elder sister well," Aunt Jin said bitterly, "The Prince of Chen favors his concubines and repeatedly loses face for your elder sister. As a concubine of the Prince of Chen, your elder sister has to endure the bullying of a concubine in the Prince of Chen's mansion."
"But it's just that it's not easy for her, a princess, to fight with a lowly concubine, so she thought of you. Anyway, when you arrive at Prince Chen's mansion, you must help your sister fight that concubine, so that she will no longer be able to take advantage of the Prince Chen's favor and ignore your sister."
Jiang Chunxi looked at Aunt Jin and asked what the original owner wanted to ask: "Aunt, am I really your daughter? It's fine if you are a concubine, but why do you think it's a blessing for your daughter to be someone else's concubine?"
"You are really something that is not presentable," Jiang Chunxi sneered, "You are really a good dog by your stepmother's side! In order to be loyal to your master, you are willing to sacrifice even your own daughter."
Jiang Chunxi is dressed this time as the illegitimate daughter of the Minister of War. Her biological mother, Aunt Jin, was a maid who came with her stepmother as a dowry, and was later given a face to become a concubine.
Aunt Jin was extremely loyal to her master. Even after becoming a concubine, her loyalty remained unchanged. Not only was she loyal herself, she also wanted her daughter to be loyal.
The original owner had been brainwashed by Aunt Jin since childhood in her previous life, so after going to Prince Chen's Mansion, she fought a life-and-death battle with the favored concubine for her elder sister.
While they were fighting and both were injured, her good elder sister took advantage of the situation and successfully won the heart of Prince Chen.
If it were just this, the original owner would have no complaints, after all, she had achieved her goal, right? But she never expected that she would be abandoned. When her good elder sister was pregnant, she used some means to make the prince believe that she and the concubine wanted to harm the baby in the princess' belly because she had fallen out of favor.
The Prince of Chen already hated them, and when he learned that the baby in the princess's belly was almost killed, he immediately ordered their execution.
Before she died, her so-called elder sister proudly told her how stupid she was. How could the original owner not feel resentful?
The original owner's wish was simple. She just wanted to stop being a tool used by others. She wanted to live a good life for herself.
As for why they didn’t take revenge, didn’t the original owner hate it?
Of course she hated it, but the original owner always remembered the principle of "prosperity together, prosperity together, adversity together", and it really harmed her elder sister, which was not good for the Jiang family.
Although she also knew that her stepmother was not as kind as she appeared to be, otherwise she would not have been sent to Prince Chen's Mansion as a chess piece.
But she had to admit that because of her stepmother, she had lived a very good life since she was a child, and the food and things she used were beyond the reach of other concubines in the mansion.
