The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

"No!" Lady Zhao finally came to her senses. She had been limp and powerless, but she didn't know where she got the strength from, and she supported herself on the couch and tried to sit up. "No, no..."

She kept shaking her head, looking crazy, but couldn't say a single clear word to refute it.

What else can be said?

The emperor had not favored her, and there was no more powerful response than this.

They had long known that the child in her womb was not the royal heir.

However, he never took any action to punish her. Instead, he watched her go to Ning'an Palace again and again, intending to deliberately have a miscarriage and frame the imperial concubine.

Her careful planning and calculations seemed vicious and ridiculous in their eyes.

Concubine Zhao was devastated, but she didn't even care about her resentment. She jumped off the bed in panic and wanted to grab Jiang Lingyue's skirt. After being blocked by Nanny Qian, she was still afraid of the power of the kick, so she could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.

"I am guilty!" Her voice was hoarse as she kowtowed repeatedly. "I deserve death, but my Zhao family is innocent. My parents and brothers are all unaware of this. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and spare my Zhao family!"

She had just given birth, and had even just lost her son. Her clothes were covered in blood, and she looked in a terrible state. Suddenly, she was hit on the head with a blow, and she looked extremely pitiful.

Jiang Lingyue was not moved at all. She stood there motionless, looking at the woman on the ground with an expressionless face.

"Forgive you? When you tried to frame me again and again, did you ever think that I was innocent and spared me?"

After saying this, she slowly squatted down, genuinely puzzled. "I believe I've never offended you. I even had good intentions towards you. To ensure a safe delivery, I even considered having the maids nearby take care of you... Why do you have to come and disgust me?"

Today, even if Nanny Qian had not kicked Concubine Zhao, she would have fallen down and would have definitely suffered a miscarriage.

The concubine who was about to give birth fell and gave birth prematurely while trying to pay her respects to her, and this spread out a reputation of being domineering.

This woman did it on purpose.

I was determined to get involved with her even if I couldn't frame her.

In short, no matter what, Concubine Zhao had to let the death of her unborn child disgust her.

How could Jiang Lingyue let her go?

If this child is really Qi Junyi's.

The only heir to the throne got into trouble because of her. Even if he loved her deeply, he would probably ignore her for a while.

She will never be able to wash away this crime in her lifetime.

However, the child is not Qi Junyi's, so she is naturally invincible.

No matter how cruel the frame-up is, it will be useless.

Now, Jiang Lingyue looked at this crazy and desperate woman with a calm expression, "You asked for this."

Confusing the royal bloodline is a serious crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family, and he also intended to use the illegitimate child to frame others.

The disease is terminal and there is no cure.

Wait to set off on the journey with your tribe.

Having said that, Jiang Lingyue was too lazy to continue talking to her.

She stood up and was about to leave when the insane Lady Zhao let out a shrill laugh.

"I asked for it?" She burst into tears. "You're lucky. Ever since you entered the palace, you've caught His Majesty's eye. He's arranged everything for you. You can sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor, so naturally you can be innocent and kind. But what about me?"

"What can I do!"

"I was summoned to the palace during the election, but I'm terrified every day of this joyous event. I can't be sure if the child is truly yours, so I can only reluctantly give it up!"

If it weren't for His Majesty, once the child was kept, it would be irrefutable evidence that she had mixed up the royal bloodline, and she would have to live in fear every day of the future.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to make the best use of it and let the child help her as a mother one last time.

So what if she was the most favored concubine in the harem? As long as she was accused of jealousy, immorality, and plotting to murder the heir to the throne, she would inevitably fall from favor.

By then, she, the victim of miscarriage and child loss, will not have to worry about not receiving comfort from His Majesty.

With such an opportunity right in front of us, how can we not take a chance?

But things are unpredictable!

This woman has won the favor of His Majesty for nothing, but she has no ambition at all and has never had any bad thoughts about the child in her womb.

She was forced to take the initiative herself.

But ended up like this.

Concubine Zhao collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face, looking both pitiful and hateful.

Jiang Lingyue paused for a moment and then left without looking back.

She would be a loser if she showed any sympathy to someone who was trying so hard to kill her.

As for the so-called "everything was arranged by the emperor, and he just sat back and enjoyed the fruits of his labor"...

She admitted it.

This is indeed the case in this life.

But that person's preference cannot be obtained through planning.

He treats you well simply because he wants to treat you well.

It doesn't depend on what you have done or what you have paid.

As the superior, he lacks nothing.

He even has sincerity.

As long as they are willing, countless women are willing to give their true hearts to him.

is that useful?

…………

Leaving Concubine Zhao's desperate cries behind, Jiang Lingyue returned to the main hall.

The huge palace was empty. The concubines who had been kneeling on the ground just now were no longer there. Only the Emperor stood in the palace with his hands behind his back. His aura was as cold as frost. At a glance, Jiang Lingyue could actually sense a sense of loneliness in him.

Hearing footsteps, the man looked up. His originally cold expression suddenly relaxed. He walked towards her, looked her up and down, and asked, "What did you say to her?"

"What else can I say?" Jiang Lingyue said gloomily, "Just ask her why she is so determined to frame me."

"Silly girl," Qi Junyi picked her up by the knees and said as he walked out, "Is it worth it for you to go ask her specifically? She framed you for her own benefit."

Outside the palace, snow had suddenly started falling, and a thin layer of white accumulated on the top of the imperial carriage that had been waiting there long ago.

Jiang Lingyue stretched out her hand, caught a few snowflakes, and looked up at him: "Qi Hengzhi, it's snowing."

"Hmm..." Qi Junyi nodded lightly, got on the imperial carriage, held her steadily on his lap and sat her down, then wiped the melted snow water from her palms and held their fingers tightly.

"Yueyue..." Feeling the warmth from her palm, his voice was slightly hoarse, "You scared me to death."

Really, he was scared to death.

Seeing her face covered in blood, he was scared to death.

The wheel turned slowly. Jiang Lingyue pursed her lips, leaned on his shoulder, looked at the falling snow outside the car, and said nothing.

In fact, she wanted to ask him if he was also so scared when he received the news of her death in his previous life.

...or even worse?

He is truly a natural born emperor, hiding his thoughts so well.

He obviously liked it very much, but he was unwilling to show it to her.

As a result, she didn't know until her death that the almighty Emperor had also fallen in love with her and loved her deeply.

He loved her so much that even though she died so early, a full ten years had passed, he still hadn't let go of her at all. Instead, his obsession grew even deeper.

But...was it really his fault alone that they ended up like that in their previous life?

She is very stingy. She has never received much warmth since she was a child. When she grows up, she is also reluctant to give love to others and is almost very calculative.

If you want her affection, you have to give more in exchange.

Chen Ziwei was so good that she was moved by him, but she was still stingy and hesitant. She didn't dare to invest her feelings completely before the marriage was settled.

But she dared to fall in love with him.

As a concubine, she loves the emperor whom she needs to look up to.

If she didn't truly feel his love, would she, who is so calculating, really fall for him?

...I don’t dare.

If he is not a good person, how could such a timid and cautious person like her be easily moved?

For the first time, Jiang Lingyue was willing to face this problem.

Got the answer too.

Perhaps...she could feel his love subconsciously.

He didn't say it explicitly, but his love was in the details of daily life.

But she was indeed too timid, like a turtle that buried its head in its shell after being humiliated. No matter how much he coaxed her, she refused to come out.

In fact, looking back with my current state of mind, after that "angry remark", he did bend down on his own initiative, more than once.

It's just that she refused all communication and ignored all his efforts.

Until his death...
