Chapter 987: Killing in a High-end Palace Fighting Story 25
Because of his scarcity, Song Hui enjoyed the rare and sincere love from the emperor.
After all, no other baby was born in the palace after him.
Looking at his face which was 70% similar to his own, Jia Hedi would not doubt that he was not his own child, nor would he doubt that he had been completely sterilized by Shu Jiao.
He would only drag the noble concubine out in the dead of night and scold her over and over again.
Gradually, the concubines also understood——
It’s not that they can’t do it, it’s the emperor.
The ministers of the previous dynasty fell silent instantly when they saw Emperor Jiahe's different treatment of the eldest prince and Song Hui.
The battle for succession?
From the power of the dragon?
Don't make trouble.
There is no other choice as to who will be the next emperor!
Under the love of his father and mother, and Shu Jiao's hands-on teaching, Song Hui grew up very smoothly.
Shu Jiao often used his hand to remind Emperor Jiahe to reform the system and clean up the court.
Another six years.
The Empress Dowager passed away, and in the winter of the same year, Concubine Kang, who had endured to the extreme, was also about to pass away.
Thinking of their past friendship, Emperor Jiahe went to see her.
When she saw him, Concubine Kang sat up in shock from her dying illness, and she was full of energy and vitality.
"The Emperor is really a loving father right now."
"I wonder if the emperor still thinks of my innocent child who died tragically in his dreams at midnight?"
"I'm afraid there isn't one?"
"That's right. How could a man as cold and heartless as the emperor, who could watch his own child die in a fight between women, think of a child he had never seen before?"
"You deserve it for having so few offspring!"
Emperor Jiahe glared at him and said, "Noble Concubine Kang, you!"
"What's wrong with me?"
Concubine Kang sneered, "Let me tell you, I have tolerated you for a long time!"
"Looking at the concubines in the harem fighting for you, you feel very proud, don't you? When you feel proud, you despise their vicious minds, don't you?"
"You think those who have the means are vicious; you think those who have no means but are framed are stupid and incompetent; you think those who have the means but do not harm others are ordinary in appearance, average in talent, and have not given birth to children for you."
"I bother!"
"Do you really think that everyone likes you? If it weren't for the sake of the family, or for wealth and glory, who would be willing to care about you?"
"Empress Kang!"
Emperor Jiahe was so angry that his fingers were shaking slightly.
"Why are you calling me? I am a dying man, so my words are kind. I am kindly reminding you that you have a bad temper and you need to change it!"
Concubine Jia was not at all flustered, "Your Majesty, you won't hold it against me, will you?"
Emperor Jiahe:...
"I! Don't! Care! About! It!"
The Emperor and Empress Jiahe's teeth were almost grinding.
The Queen who came hurriedly: Puff...Puff...
Good sisters!
Can talk more!!
The Queen stood at the door for a while, holding back her laughter before putting on a heavy expression and walking in. "Your Majesty. What happened to Concubine Kang? What did the imperial physician say?"
"What are you laughing at? I didn't say anything about you, did I?"
Concubine Kang sneered, "It feels good to be a bystander, right? It feels good to sit alone on the high platform and watch the show, right? You and the emperor are just the same, you are indeed a real couple."
The queen remained calm.
It's okay.
Compared with the scolding of Emperor Jiahe just now, these two insults to her are nothing.
Didn't they say that she was just as bad as the emperor?
The husband sings and the wife follows!
The emperor is like this, and she is like this too. The root of the fault lies with the emperor, so the words are still directed at the emperor!
When Emperor Jiahe heard this, his mood strangely calmed down a little bit -
Garlic bird garlic bird.
Concubine Kang has always had this temper, and after all, she lost her son because of him.
Be patient, it's only the last few hours.
But the words were too harsh to hear, so he didn't listen. Let the Queen handle it here.
"I have something else to do in the morning, so I'll leave first."
After saying this, Emperor Jiahe turned around and slipped away.
The queen rolled her eyes silently at his back.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Suddenly, Concubine Kang started coughing loudly.
The sound gradually became weaker.
Before Emperor Jiahe left the palace, he heard a voice coming from inside:
"Empress Kang has passed away!"
Emperor Jiahe:...
What do you think he is doing?
Thinking of this, Emperor Jiahe stood there and sighed silently, then turned and walked in.
When he saw Concubine Kang lying on the bed with her face pale, eyes closed and no longer breathing, Emperor Jiahe was stunned for a moment, and then a rare look of sadness finally appeared in his eyes.
After all, she was the woman who accompanied him in the mansion.
She was the woman with whom he had once shown some sincerity.
Otherwise, as an emperor, he would not tolerate Concubine Kang treating him with such disrespect again and again, even if she had saved his life.
Even her father's family was never implicated.
"Ah~"
Emperor Jiahe sighed again, "Let's have a grand funeral."
Hearing this, the queen looked at him with a slightly subtle expression, "I understand."
Concubine Xian gave birth to a son for you, but he died of poisoning and you didn't even bother to give him a grand funeral.
Concubine Kang scolds you every day whenever she gets the chance, and you want a grand funeral?
That Royal Concubine Rong was also a person with a restless and sharp tongue.
Do you like being abused?
Emperor Jiahe didn't notice her look. He looked at Concubine Kang for a long time before turning around and leaving.
The death of Concubine Kang did not have much impact on the structure of the harem.
She didn't have much favor to begin with.
The most favored people in the palace now are Concubine Rong and her second prince Song Hui.
The second is Concubine Ning, who was promoted from concubine to consort a few years ago, and her eldest princess.
The eldest prince got married and set up his own residence outside the palace. He never entered the court and spent his days enjoying the mountains and rivers with his wife. In the eyes of the court officials, he was just a hopeless pile of mud, and no one bothered to even look at him.
Then, it was the struggle among the concubines.
Although everyone knows that Emperor Jiahe is incapable of having children, they still fight for his favor.
Even if it's not for power, status, or beautiful jade, gold, or silver, you have to fight for the future of your family!
Look at Concubine Rong.
Because he was favored by the emperor, all the side branches of his family were promoted, and he was regarded as a glorious family. His brother was even a close and trusted minister of the emperor, and even the marriages of his cousins were arranged by the emperor.
What is this called?
When one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit!
Who wouldn't envy it?
Who is not jealous?
Who doesn’t want to be the next Concubine Rong?
At this time, Rong Guifei, who was envied by everyone, was looking left and right in front of the bronze mirror.
"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao!"
Zong Jingyao called out, "Look, what do you think of my makeup?"
"Your Highness is naturally beautiful. She looks beautiful no matter how she dresses."
Shu Jiao coaxed her skillfully.
"Jiaojiao, look, I seem to have small wrinkles at the corners of my eyes."
Zong Jingyao slightly rubbed the corners of her eyes, loosened her hands and slowly drew a line, "Doesn't it look better like this? This is called charming style, the emperor will definitely like it when he sees it."
When the time comes, if I'm happy, I'll give her jade hairpins, jade pendants, a crown, pearls...
She doesn't mind it.
No matter how much, I don't mind.
"Yes."
Shu Jiao pursed her lips and suppressed her laughter, "The Emperor will definitely like it."
If this continues, Emperor Jiahe's private treasury will probably be emptied by Zong Jingyao.
But if Emperor Jiahe is sincere and willing to give, then there will be no problem.
