Chapter 246 Demoting Wife to Concubine 23
"Do you really think that the concubines in the harem are useless?" The emperor looked at Jiang Chunxi and said:
Jiang Chunxi's expression darkened. "Then what does the emperor want me to say? Is the emperor reluctant to give up Shenpin? So what can I do? I can only choose more new people to enter the palace for the emperor. Maybe I can choose someone with a stronger fate who will not be suppressed by Shenpin, so that the emperor can have a son as soon as possible."
"I just don't believe that we can't catch a fish that has fallen into the net," Jiang Chunxi said with hatred, "No matter how powerful Concubine Shen's fate is, she can't..."
"Oh, why didn't I think of this idea?" Jiang Chunxi's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, the reason why Concubine Shen can control the concubines in the harem is naturally because of contact. But if she can't contact, then she can't control them."
"Why didn't I think of this sooner?"
The emperor subconsciously wanted to refute Jiang Chunxi's words. After all, what Jiang Chunxi said was completely unfounded and too ridiculous. But he couldn't help but think in his heart, maybe what Jiang Chunxi said did make sense?
In fact, what the emperor wanted to do more was to let Shen Jingyao leave the palace, but when he thought about how he had saved Shen Jingyao in the first place, if he cruelly sent her out of the palace now, how would the ministers in the court view him?
It was because of this that the emperor was so conflicted, but now after hearing what Jiang Chunxi said, he felt that maybe he didn't need to be so conflicted at all.
"Your Majesty, I plan to set up a Buddhist temple in Chenyou Palace. I will let Shen Jing pray for Your Majesty in Chenyou Palace in the future. She is not allowed to step out of Chenyou Palace," Jiang Chunxi looked at the emperor with a serious expression, "And Your Majesty, you are not allowed to favor Shen Concubine anymore, let alone see her again. I know you like Shen Concubine, but no matter how much you like a woman, you have to think about your own offspring, unless you don't want the world you have worked so hard for to be given to your brothers' sons in the future."
The Dog Emperor naturally had brothers, but all of his brothers were born out of wedlock, and the Queen Mother only gave birth to him as a son.
"Humph!" Jiang Chunxi snorted coldly, "Anyway, I am unwilling to accept this. I accompanied the emperor and finally seized this world, not to make wedding clothes for others in the future. Although I can't give birth to a child, the emperor's own son will inherit the throne in the future, and adopting someone else's child to inherit the throne is different for me."
"As long as it's the Emperor's child, even if it's not mine, at least the foundation my husband and I have worked so hard to build won't be given away to others. But if we adopt someone else's child, then everything we've worked so hard for will be wasted. Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit blood."
"And the most important thing is, if the child is adopted by someone else, it would be fine for me to die before the emperor, but what if the emperor dies before me? The new emperor has his own biological parents, so how could they take me seriously? If that happens, I will be bullied to death. Not only will I be doing wedding clothes for nothing, but I will also end up with a bad end. I... I..."
The more Jiang Chunxi spoke, the angrier she became, and her breathing became rapid.
"Look at you. You are such a jerk. You made yourself so angry." The emperor quickly helped Jiang Chunxi smooth her chest.
Jiang Chunxi tried her best to calm her breathing, and then she couldn't help crying: "If the emperor wasn't confused, would I have gotten so angry at myself? I really owe you something in my previous life, so I worry so much about you in this life. For the sake of your offspring, not only did I kneel before the Buddha and almost break my legs, I don't know how many hairs have turned white."
"Please look carefully at my hair. How much white it has become? I am only two years younger than you, but I have more white hair than you."
Yes, Jiang Chunxi had deliberately let herself have white hair. Anyway, she didn't need the emperor's favor.
The emperor looked at the white hair of Jiang Chunxi and couldn't help but hug her in his arms: "It's all my fault. In fact, I regretted it a long time ago. If I hadn't been confused and directly made you the queen, then I wouldn't have suffered retribution."
It is difficult for him to have children now. Rather than saying that he was unlucky because of Shen Jingyao, it is more accurate to say that he was getting retribution for it. He demoted his wife to a concubine and treated her badly. This is his retribution.
"Your Majesty, what nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Chunxi frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "It is clearly Shenpin who brought bad luck to you, how can you say that you are suffering retribution? In my opinion, you just can't bear to leave Shenpin."
Jiang Chunxi then pushed the emperor away angrily: "Forget it, I am really worrying about something that is not my fault. Your Majesty himself doesn't care about the issue of offspring, why should I worry about it? Just treat what I just said as nonsense and continue to pamper your darling baby!"
"Why are you speaking so vulgarly?" The emperor pretended to be angry. "Don't forget your status. As a royal concubine, how can you ..."
"My words were vulgar, so what?" Jiang Chunxi couldn't help crying again, "My heart was so upset, do I have to be careful with my words? What's more, I just said something like fart, how can my words be considered vulgar?"
"My dear husband," Jiang Chunxi begged the emperor with tears in her eyes, "Please consider this as a request from me. Please don't see Shenpin for the time being. I promise you that although Shenpin is confined to Chenyou Palace, she will not be treated unfairly in terms of food and drink. If you really can't let Shenpin go, then wait until one of the concubines in the harem gives birth to a prince, and then let Shenpin out."
"Woo woo! Anyway, I don't care. I won't accept it no matter what. My husband and I have worked so hard to build this kingdom, but in the end, we can only give it away for free to others. If you have legitimate brothers, it would be fine, but your brothers are all illegitimate, not all born from the same mother. Can you expect them to really regard you as a brother in their hearts?"
"Maybe they have long hoped that you would not give birth to a son. They are all waiting to get something for free, staring at the throne under your butt like hungry wolves."
There is of course a reason why Jiang Chunxi went to such great lengths to discredit the Dog Emperor's brothers. After all, she was going to adopt someone else's child in the future, and didn't want to leave any hidden dangers. Therefore, she naturally needed the Dog Emperor to help her get rid of all those who should be eliminated, so that she wouldn't have to dirty her hands in the future.
"Okay, okay, okay, isn't it enough for me to listen to you?" The emperor looked defeated by Jiang Chunxi, "Let Concubine Shen worship Buddha sincerely in her own palace, and don't let her step out of Chenyou Palace again."
The emperor has made up his mind and decided to give Jingyao another two years. If no concubine in the harem becomes pregnant within two years, he will have no choice but to send Jingyao out of the palace and let her die.
What so-called childhood sweethearts, true love, once it involves harming men, all this bullshit true love is useless.
What's more, the Dog Emperor no longer had true love for Shen Jingyao. If he didn't want to be criticized, he would have sent Shen Jingyao out of the palace and arranged for her death early.
