Chapter 184 Pregnant Again
Concubine Chun's tone was filled with endless regret and self-blame, as if the entire matter was her fault.
When the emperor heard Concubine Chun speak so sincerely, he remembered what Li Yu had just said about the chaos at the scene. Perhaps all this was just a misunderstanding?
So he subconsciously turned his head and secretly glanced at the queen sitting beside him.
However, to his surprise, the Queen still looked unusually indifferent, as if she did not believe what Concubine Chun said.
"Ahem." The emperor couldn't help coughing, then stared at Concubine Chun sharply and asked slowly:
"But did anyone see you letting go on purpose, wanting the queen to fall down the corridor?"
Hearing the emperor's question, Concubine Chun was shocked and her face turned as pale as paper in an instant.
She knelt down in panic, and cried, "Your Majesty, it's not like that. I let go because I was exhausted. It was really not intentional!
I was so scared at the time that I lost my grip... Your Majesty, please understand!"
But the emperor did not believe it. He frowned and stared at Concubine Chun with suspicion, as if trying to find a flaw in her face.
The Queen looked at Concubine Chun coldly, with a hint of anger in her eyes.
Concubine Chun secretly complained in her heart. She never thought that things would develop to this point. Could it be that the queen was really going to be cruel and take action against her?
Concubine Chun's face was as pale as paper, her lips trembled slightly, her eyes quickly became moist, and tears slid down her cheeks.
She raised her head, looked at the queen with tearful eyes, and said in a sobbing voice: "Queen, I was really careless! You know, I have always been a peaceful person, how dare I hurt you intentionally?
Over the years, I have been serving you loyally and have been with you for many years. You know my character best.
We are estranged now, but it is only because the Sixth Prince is still young and I cannot leave him. It is not because I hate you! Please do not be provoked by the villains. "
The Queen listened quietly to Concubine Chun's explanation, her eyes so cold that it made people feel chilled.
She sighed softly and said firmly, "Princess Chun, I have already given you a chance. I saw what happened today with my own eyes, and you have no right to refute it."
She shook her head, her disappointed eyes falling directly on Concubine Chun, as if telling her that no amount of explanation could change the facts.
"If you are dissatisfied and think that I am framing you, we can go to the Queen Mother to argue."
The emperor was somewhat surprised. He did not expect the queen to be so resolute and not even give Concubine Chun any chance to explain. This was very different from her usual gentle image.
But if you think about it carefully, Concubine Chun might have already taken action against the Queen. Otherwise, given the Queen's personality, she would never be so heartless.
Seeing that the Queen was unmoved, Concubine Chun turned to the Emperor and pleaded with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I beg Your Majesty to see clearly and clear my name."
The emperor sighed helplessly. He really didn't want to be involved in this dispute anymore.
He waved his hand and said impatiently: "Forget it, don't say anymore."
After a moment of silence, the emperor took a sip of tea and said calmly, "In that case, Queen, you will be the one to deal with Concubine Chun according to palace rules."
When Concubine Chun heard this, she was shocked. She never expected that the emperor would be so partial to the queen and even look down on her, with no affection at all.
Concubine Chun gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and glared at the queen fiercely.
The queen sighed softly, knowing that this conflict had completely broken their relationship. She couldn't help but think of every little detail of the past, and a deep sense of loss welled up in her heart.
But she understood that as a queen and even more as a mother, she must stick to her position and not be swayed by emotions.
Afterwards, Concubine Chun pretended to be so angry that she fainted on the ground.
Before she lost consciousness, she shouted, "I really have no intention of murdering you! If the Queen refuses to believe what I said, I will die to apologize!"
"Mingyu, go get the imperial physician."
Empress Fucha shook her head helplessly, then turned to look at the emperor and asked softly, "Your Majesty, according to palace rules, murdering the queen is a serious crime and should be banished to the cold palace or directly sentenced to death. Do you really think this is the right way to deal with her?"
The emperor frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Of course you can... But, Concubine Chun is the biological mother of the Sixth Prince after all, so perhaps you can give her a lighter sentence..."
At this time, Zhang Yuanpan hurried to the emperor, his face filled with joy, and shouted loudly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, Concubine Chun is pregnant! It's been three months!"
Empress Fucha was startled, then her face turned pale, her eyes looked lonely, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She murmured softly: "So that's how it is... I should have thought of it earlier..."
She sighed inwardly, thinking that she was too naive at the beginning. She thought that she could gain others' sincerity with her sincerity, but she didn't expect that she would be calculated again and again in the end.
It is too late to regret my past weakness now. I can only accept this reality silently.
