"Your Majesty, Prince An has no respect for the law and the king. I implore Your Majesty to punish him severely.""Yes, Your Majesty, if you break the law, you will be punished just like the common people."
Zhao Junrui doesn't want to let anyone who dared to hurt him live.
His eyes turned cold and he gave the order directly.
"Come here, take him away and execute him. Hang his body on the city wall for me. I want everyone to see this, this is the end result of plotting to murder the heir to the throne."
Prince An was dragged away.
"No, you can't kill me."
"I am Prince An, your brother. You are cruel and murderous, and you are not worthy of being a king..."
"Noisy."
Prince An was dragged away and executed, and died. All those who had any connection with him were sent to prison and beheaded in the autumn.
When the emperor is angry, blood flows like a river.
This sentence is not a joke.
When Jiang Xianyun heard the news, she didn't comment. He wanted to harm her and her unborn child. Could she be so saintly as to say that he didn't deserve death? Or wipe her tears and tell His Majesty that he was so cruel.
No, no, this is not her.
Kind-hearted and soft-hearted.
It will only harm yourself and the people around you.
She had seen this kind of heroine before when watching TV. The unlucky ones were the people around her, for example, she saved a killer or a bad guy out of kindness. Then a village was destroyed because of her. After that, the saintly heroine knelt in front of the dead and confessed and shed crocodile tears. She said sorry, sorry, I didn't know it would be like this. Then she went to another place to continue to harm others.
After this incident.
Jiang Xianyun went out of the palace less frequently.
Stay in your own uterus and take care of your baby peacefully.
Half a month later, the empress dowager, who had been living in the Huguo Temple to pray for blessings, returned to the palace.
Jiang Xianyun was worried that she would be made difficult by this mother-in-law at first. But after meeting her, she felt that she was overthinking. She was a gentle and kind old lady who was so happy to see her that she held her hand and asked about her well-being.
The Queen Mother was extremely happy that she was pregnant. After all, she knew what her own son was like. Now that he had someone to accompany him and had a child, the Queen Mother must be happy.
The first thing the Queen Mother did when she returned to the palace was to reward her with several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. She didn't have any special requirements, just that she eat well, drink well, take good care of the baby in her belly, and give her a healthy grandson.
After that, the Queen Mother did not ask about the affairs of the harem. Instead, she stayed in her Shou'an Palace and planted flowers and grass, and also planted vegetables. It was hard to tell that she was a Queen Mother. She was just an old lady who lived out her days in peace.
The concubines in the emperor's harem were very excited when the empress dowager returned to the palace, thinking that their chance had come. The empress dowager would definitely not allow Rong Fei to dominate the harem alone, and she would definitely hope that the emperor would treat all of them equally and expand the royal family.
But the Queen Mother doesn't care about worldly affairs and doesn't care about these things at all.
And warned them sternly.
"Concubine Rong is pregnant with the heir to the throne. Don't bother her unless necessary."
As for Jiang Xianyun, when she has nothing to do, she often goes to the Queen Mother's Palace to help her grow flowers and plants, and exercise her body at the same time. This is good for pregnant women.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along pretty well.
For the empress dowager, the concubines in the palace were just eaters and she didn't care.
Jiang Xianyun lived a very peaceful life.
From time to time, she would ask her mother, Lin, to come to the palace to reunite. Now Lin's life is good and she looks a lot younger. Some time ago, Lin got the letter of release from the Jiang Mansion and is now a free person.
Her mother was still very young, and Jiang Xianyun had privately asked Lin if she wanted to remarry, saying that she didn't mind having a stepfather. But Lin had no interest in her family.
In Lin's words, she now has money, a house, and a daughter to support her in her old age. She doesn't need a man at all, so why bother looking for a patriarch?
well.
Her mother saw it very clearly.
Finally it was lifted up.
As for the Jiang family wanting to find her to repair their relationship, it was impossible. She would not add insult to injury. But she would not let them take advantage of her either.
Even if Jiang Pingzhi regretted it, it was useless. After all, there was no medicine for regret in the world, and the original owner had already lost his life.
Autumn passed slowly, and the leaves on the trees fell off. Until snow fell from the sky, and the treetops were covered with snow.
Another year of cold winter.
This year's snow is very heavy, and the so-called auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. She is now more than six months pregnant, her belly is getting bigger, and because of the cold weather, she wears thick clothes. She looks furry and round.
In the New Year.
The whole palace was decorated with lights and looked very festive and lively.
In previous years, the palace was always deserted, but this year is different.
On the first day of the New Year, the palace hosted a banquet for all officials. Ministers brought their families into the palace, and there was singing and dancing at the banquet.
The emperor did not like this kind of occasion, but Jiang Xianyun thought it was very good.
At this time, a group of dancers were dancing at the banquet. One of them was wearing a veil that exposed her waist and legs. She was the center of the party. The eyes of the men present were shining.
This is enough to show how good the other person is at dancing.
Jiang Xianyun sat next to the emperor and whispered to him. "Oh wow, this dancer's waist is twisted very well, I like it. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
She didn't mean anything else, she was just discussing it.
The emperor took a look and said calmly, "It's OK, but I think her shoulders are not coordinated. It may be due to abnormal bone development."
Jiang Xianyun couldn't help but take another careful look when he heard it. He had to say, "Amazing, your eyes are made of rulers, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me."
She pointed to herself.
"Look at me, what's wrong with me?"
Zhao Junrui paused with his glass in hand, looked at her, and then said seriously, "Your right eyebrow is a little thicker than the left one."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xianyun reached out and pinched his thigh hard.
"Are you sure? I'll give you one more chance."
Zhao Junrui: “…”
He coughed lightly.
"Maybe I saw it wrong."
She rolled her eyes at him.
"I want to eat that."
Jiang Xianyun's eyes fell on the crab on the side and he said deliberately.
Zhao Junrui took a look at it and took it away and put it to the other side.
"You can't eat this now."
As he spoke, he placed a dish that was good for her health in front of her. "Eat this."
Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.
This is really the tyrant who kills without blinking an eye.
The dancer who was twisting her waist felt even more uncomfortable. No one could resist her beauty.
Suddenly the dancer fell down and screamed.
“Hiss… Ouch…”
The veil fell to the ground, revealing a face like a lotus emerging from the water. At this moment, her eyes were filled with tears and she looked so pitiful that the old drivers present were all stunned.
The dancer looked pitiful, delicate and weak.
"Your Majesty, spare my life."
Zhao Junrui asked casually.
"What is your name?"
"I am not yet satisfied."
The dancer was delighted when she heard this. She had made the right bet. As long as she became his majesty's woman, it would be a foregone conclusion that she would be favored with her beauty. By then, a concubine Rong would not be a threat. So what if she had a child? A child who could be born was a child. Her eyes fell on Jiang Xianyun's belly.
As an emperor, Zhao Junrui was best at controlling people's hearts. So when she looked at his child with malice, he would not let her live.
Zhao Junrui had a cold expression on his face and his voice was even colder.
"Drag him away and beat him to death."
