Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 191

Consort Jing, Shen Lingjun, and the other two immediately stopped talking. Shen Lingjun and Madam Wen stood up together and bowed to Empress Chu as she entered.

"This humble servant greets Your Majesty the Empress."

"Get up."

Empress Chu's expression showed no sign of anything amiss. She casually glanced around and smiled, "What are you all talking about? Why did you send all the palace servants away?"

Consort Jing calmly replied, "We were just having some private conversations. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, for visiting me every day."

Empress Chu sat down and had a palace maid bring the little prince over. After looking at him, she chatted with Consort Jing for a while.

Finally, she stood up and said, "Consort Jing has just given birth and must still be tired. I won't stay here any longer. You all can have a good chat."

As she was about to leave, a little eunuch suddenly rushed in.

The young eunuch, who had come with Empress Chu, rushed in, holding something in his hand and looking panicked, shouting to Empress Chu:

"Your Majesty! This servant just found this in the outer courtyard!"

The young eunuch presented a box covered in mud, inside which was a cloth doll.

Judging from its clothing, the doll resembled an empress. A string of birth dates and times was inscribed on its body, stained with terrifying blood, and it was riddled with long silver needles.

The young eunuch said, "Your Majesty, I just saw something buried under a tree in the courtyard. I went over to take a look and saw this box half-buried in the soil. It was probably washed out by the heavy rain last night. I was curious and took it out to look, and inside was actually a miniature figure of Your Majesty!"

Everyone was shocked!

Empress Chu's expression changed drastically. She immediately stood up, stepped forward, and took the doll to examine it.

"This is exactly my birth date and time!"

Empress Chu glared at Consort Jing: "Consort Jing, how could such witchcraft items appear in your palace? Are you trying to curse me?"

Consort Jing understood what was going on in an instant.

Empress Chu is starting to make things difficult for her!

She gave birth to a healthy and normal little prince, which Empress Chu could not tolerate. Since she had failed to harm the child last time, this time she was targeting her, the mother!

Consort Jing said coldly, "I have never seen this before, and I don't know how it came to be in Changxin Palace. Just because this thing was dug up in the courtyard of Changxin Palace, you can't assume that I wanted to curse Her Majesty the Empress. This is clearly someone plotting to frame me!"

Empress Chu, of course, wouldn't listen to her and directly ordered another eunuch, "Quickly! Invite the Emperor here!"

Consort Jing was already a concubine, and even if she were the Empress, she would not have the authority to deal with Consort Jing on her own. She could only ask the Emperor to come.
