Chapter 658: Getting rid of the princess
Hearing this, Emperor Jingyang narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
He asked in a cold voice: "What do you mean, my beloved concubine?"
Concubine Li buried her head in Emperor Jingyang's chest and put her arms around his waist.
She said, "Your Majesty, think about it, the person you ordered the Night King to marry was Ji Qingqing."
"It was the Yongning Marquisate that took advantage of your imperial decree and sent Ji Yuntang to the Yewang Palace as a replacement."
"If Marquis Yongning hadn't replaced her with Ji Qingqing, the position of Crown Princess might have belonged to Ji Yuntang now."
"She must have felt unwilling to accept the fact that she didn't get the position of Crown Princess, so she set her sights on Luo Junhe, hoping to support Luo Junhe and help him compete with the Crown Prince for the position of Heir to the throne."
Seeing that Emperor Jingyang seemed to have listened, Concubine Li's face became darker and darker. She continued, "Your Majesty, I know that I am of low status and cannot compare to the Empress."
"Naturally, the Night King's status is not as high as that of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I just hope that he can be an ordinary prince and live a simple life. I have never thought of him competing with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for any position."
"Ye'er used to listen to me, but since he married Ji Yuntang, he has refused to obey my instructions."
"To put it bluntly, the reason why the Night King is like this now is because of Ji Yuntang whispering in his ear."
After hearing these words, Emperor Jingyang instantly felt that Concubine Li was right.
Ji Yuntang was definitely the most difficult woman he had ever met, no doubt about it.
During the time that Luo Junhe was paralyzed, Ji Yuntang was the one who kept causing trouble.
Now that he is well, I am afraid these two people will cause trouble for the Dongchen Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingyang said: "I already understand your idea, and I know what to do."
He understood that Concubine Li wanted to get rid of Ji Yuntang.
The other party is undisciplined and uncontrollable and can easily escape their control.
Her being out of control was a small matter. After all, no matter how capable a woman was, she could not cause any trouble in the court.
However, it was a big deal when Ji Yuntang let Luo Junhe escape from their control.
Emperor Jingyang couldn't help but think that perhaps he should find a new queen for Luo Junhe.
He made up his mind and immediately called Eunuch Zhang and whispered a few words in his ear.
Eunuch Zhang was slightly stunned, and his face, which was already as pale as paper, became even paler with fright.
He asked in disbelief: "Your Majesty, are you really going to send someone to get rid of Princess Ye?"
Emperor Jingyang's eyes turned fierce, and he said sternly: "If she doesn't die, I'm afraid I will be the one to die."
Wasn't he afraid that Luo Junhe would come to take revenge on him?
The other party had been paralyzed for three years, but he never visited him once. Instead, he took back his military power and continued to suppress and torture him.
I think Luo Junhe probably hated him to the core in his heart.
Emperor Jingyang has both love and hate for his son.
He is so outstanding, even I am better than him.
In Emperor Jingyang's heart, it is inevitable that he would want to destroy him.
He glanced at Eunuch Zhang coldly and ordered: "Do as I command, and do it quickly."
"This matter can only succeed, it cannot fail, and there cannot be any mistakes."
"Otherwise, let them bring their heads to see me."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your order." Upon hearing this, Eunuch Zhang hurriedly lowered his head and left.
Concubine Li hid behind the screen and eavesdropped on their conversation.
She was secretly delighted, thinking that her persuasion was very successful and Emperor Jingyang was really going to take action against Ji Yuntang.
Seeing Eunuch Zhang retreat, Concubine Li hurried back to her seat.
As soon as Emperor Jingyang came in, he held her horizontally in his arms.
Just as he was about to carry Concubine Li to bed, he caught a glimpse of the porcelain bowl on the table out of the corner of his eye.
And in the bowl, there was also a bowl of contraceptive soup.
Emperor Jingyang's heart instantly turned cold. He just felt that this bowl of contraceptive soup was very irritating.
He was very angry just because he saw this.
Considering that he is already in his fifties, it is not easy for him to conceive a dragon heir, but Concubine Li does not cherish him.
Emperor Jingyang felt resentful and put Concubine Li on the ground again.
Concubine Li was startled and quickly asked him: "Your Majesty, what's wrong? How did I make Your Majesty unhappy again?"
Emperor Jingyang pointed at the bowl of contraceptive soup and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet."
"I came to Weiyang Palace with great joy to favor you. In order to make you soar to the sky, I even took that kind of medicine to increase the duration."
"So, is this how you repay me?"
He had three thousand beauties in his harem, and when he favored one of his concubines, that concubine would burn incense and bathe in advance, and then wait obediently to serve him.
But when it came to Concubine Li, even though I favored her, she still secretly drank the contraceptive soup.
How could Emperor Jingyang not feel uncomfortable?
When Concubine Li saw the bowl of contraceptive soup, her heart skipped a beat.
Didn't she just wink at Jianlan, asking her to take the bowl of medicine away and pour it out?
Why is it that after so long, this bowl of medicine is still here and was seen by Emperor Jingyang?
This petty-minded man, if he gets hold of this matter, will definitely get to the bottom of it.
Thinking of this, Concubine Li felt filled with resentment.
She finally managed to change the subject and make Emperor Jingyang forget about the matter.
But unexpectedly, he saw it again now.
Why did such a mistake happen to Jianlan, who has always been reliable?
Concubine Li had no time to think about this matter. Meeting Emperor Jingyang's questioning gaze, she hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
"Your Majesty, calm down. Please listen to my explanation."
Concubine Li's mind was working quickly. She said softly, "It's not that I don't want to have the emperor's son, but my health has been seriously damaged in recent years. The imperial physician diagnosed that I have uterine cold and need to recuperate for a period of time before I can get pregnant."
"If I get pregnant with your son now, it is very likely that I and the baby in my belly will die together. Can your Majesty bear to watch me and the baby in my belly die together?"
It is true that Concubine Li was in poor health, partly because of the illness she suffered from induced labor.
On the other hand, she had gone out of the palace many times to have private meetings with King Nan Xiao over the years.
In order to prevent her from getting pregnant, King Nan Xiao would prepare a bowl of contraceptive soup in advance and watch her drink it.
And if you take that kind of medicine for a long time, it will be very harmful to your body.
Therefore, on the one hand, Concubine Li was damaging her own body, and on the other hand, she asked the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for her to nourish herself.
As a result, it is difficult for her to maintain good health.
But she really didn't want to have Emperor Jingyang's child. Even though it would harm her health, it's better to be safe than sorry.
If she was really pregnant, she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly in front of King Nan Xiao.
Concubine Li didn't dare to gamble on this possibility, even if it was one in ten thousand.
After listening to her explanation, Emperor Jingyang still had a look of doubt in his eyes.
