Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

“Your Majesty, that’s not how it is,” said one of the nannies sent by the Emperor to Jiang Chunxi. “Consort Shu was enjoying the flowers in the Imperial Garden when Consort Gui stormed there with all her servants. She demanded that Consort Shu be taken down and even threatened to beat the child out of Consort Shu’s womb.”

"Consort Shu was both shocked and furious, which is why she snapped at Consort Gui a few times. But who would have thought that Consort Gui couldn't command her palace servants and actually took matters into her own hands, fiercely trying to ram Consort Shu. It was only because we servants restrained Consort Gui in time that Consort Shu's unborn child would have been in far more serious danger than just a miscarriage."

The Empress Dowager's gaze was as cold as ice shards: "You are from Consort Shu's palace, so naturally you will speak on behalf of your mistress."

Honestly, if the Yang family hadn't been unable to produce a concubine who was deposed and executed, the Empress Dowager really wouldn't have cared about her niece's life or death.

Not only is she a useless piece of trash, but she's also caused such a huge problem. Is it because they think their aunt is having too much of a leisurely time as Empress Dowager? Otherwise, why would they cause their aunt so much trouble?

The Empress Dowager had already decided that after persuading the Emperor to spare her niece, she would poison her and let her die, so that her useless niece wouldn't cause any more trouble.

“My master is the Emperor,” the old woman said neither humbly nor arrogantly. “I was sent by the Emperor to Consort Shu’s palace to take care of the imperial heir in Consort Shu’s womb. Therefore, my master is the Emperor, not Consort Shu.”

"Even now, the Empress Dowager still chooses to protect her niece," the Empress questioned. "I really want to ask the Empress Dowager, is your grandson really so insignificant to you? Is your own grandson less important than a single finger of your niece?"

"And what about the Emperor? Is it true that even the Emperor, his own son, is less important to the Empress Dowager than her family?"

"Empress, how dare you!" The Empress Dowager glared at the Empress, her eyes seeming to want to tear her to pieces.

"Whether the Empress was being presumptuous or had struck a nerve with the Empress Dowager, causing her to become enraged, I can see it clearly with my own eyes," the Emperor said, looking at the Empress Dowager with utter disgust. "You have repeatedly protected the Consort. In the Empress Dowager's heart, do you really think my own flesh and blood are so insignificant?"

"Guards! Convey my decree: grant the Imperial Concubine a promotion and a higher rank."

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!" the Empress Dowager hurriedly said. "If you want to depose the Imperial Concubine, I won't say anything more, but you cannot order her to commit suicide. The Yang family must not produce an Imperial Concubine who is forced to die, otherwise..."

"Empress Dowager," the Emperor roared furiously, no longer even addressing her as "Mother," "I only ordered the death of Consort Yang out of respect for you. You'd better not push your luck, or don't blame me for punishing the entire Yang family as well."

"You...you..." The Empress Dowager trembled with anger, already knowing that there was no room for negotiation.

"Your Majesty, let me personally send the Imperial Concubine off on her final journey!" the Empress said. "I have waited long enough for this day. It is only right that I, the Empress, personally carry out the execution of the Imperial Concubine."

What could the Emperor say? After all, he knew better than anyone the Empress's hatred for the Consort, so naturally he had no objection and nodded in agreement to the Empress's request.

"Very well, very well, you two are truly a perfect couple, my good son and good daughter-in-law." The Empress Dowager said angrily and then left with her entourage.

As soon as the Empress Dowager left, the Empress also left immediately, eager to avenge her enemy.
