Chapter 607: I have always taken revenge
Emperor Xiao subconsciously put his hand on his chest, and his whole body was shaking.
The eunuch beside him saw this and hurried forward to support Emperor Xiao, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Do you want to summon the imperial physician?"
Emperor Xiao took a deep breath, and the pain in his heart gradually subsided. He shook his head and said, "No need!"
When he looked at Concubine Cheng who was still kneeling on the ground, Emperor Xiao became even more annoyed.
"You don't have to kneel here any longer. Use this time to think carefully about what you and your son have done!"
"emperor……"
"Someone, send the imperial concubine back to the palace."
Emperor Xiao interrupted Concubine Cheng cleanly and decisively, unwilling to say any more words to her. The irritability and pain in his heart rose again.
Although Concubine Cheng wanted to continue pleading, but when she met Emperor Xiao's cold and irritated gaze, she realized that if she continued speaking, it would only make him more annoyed.
Enduring the pain in her knee, she left Emperor Xiao's bedroom in a daze. The maid found blood on her dress and was shocked. She wanted to ask someone to call the imperial physician, but was stopped by Concubine Cheng.
She walked all the way back to her palace, even stopping her maid from sending a sedan chair.
She really didn't know that her son had done so many things behind her back, but she was more frightened than surprised.
If Yier really did those things as the emperor said, then the emperor would never forgive him.
After planning for so long and calculating so much, he finally managed to gain a firm foothold in the court, but he didn't expect that he would be overthrown in one day, and Yi'er was directly thrown into the sky prison...
The mother and son are of the same blood. Once Yi'er gets into trouble, she, the so-called favored imperial concubine in the harem, will naturally not be able to remain unscathed.
Concubine Cheng seemed to see herself being banished to the cold palace, being ridiculed and bullied. She felt a chill down her spine and shuddered violently.
"Your Majesty, why don't I ask the imperial physician to see you?" The personal maid looked at Concubine Cheng's appearance and spoke with heartache and worry.
"No, there's no need to invite an imperial physician." Concubine Cheng shook her head. "You should ask someone to investigate what happened in the Ministry of Justice and how Yi'er was exposed. The more detailed the investigation, the better!"
"Madam, the injury on your knee..."
"I've already told you everything is fine. You should check it for me right away. I want to know what happened!" Concubine Cheng said in a sharp and angry tone.
The maidservant didn't dare to say anything more and quickly responded.
That night, Concubine Cheng did not lie down to rest, but sat on the chair.
After the maid asked someone to investigate, she brought medicine and carefully applied it to the wound on Concubine Cheng's knee.
Concubine Cheng just sat there in silence from beginning to end, without saying a word.
By dawn, the news that the Fourth Prince had been thrown into the Sky Prison had spread widely.
Those who usually did not get along with Concubine Cheng, or those who were just curious among the concubines, were eager to watch the fun. A few of them gathered together and, under the pretext of visiting and showing concern, went outside Concubine Cheng's bedroom to ask for an audience.
Concubine Cheng had no energy to deal with these people at the moment and simply refused to see them.
The person sent to inquire finally brought back the news. Although no one knew what happened specifically, it was discovered that Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi were also in the Ministry of Justice last night.
Almost instantly, Concubine Cheng immediately determined that this matter was related to Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi, and directly summoned Jiang Suining who was on duty in the palace.
"Your humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine." Jiang Suining bowed as usual, with no emotion on his face, as if nothing had happened.
Concubine Cheng had no intention of beating around the bush and gnashed her teeth as she spoke: "Jiang Suining, what on earth did you do!"
"I really don't understand what your Majesty is saying." Jiang Suining looked up in confusion, met Concubine Cheng's gaze, frowned slightly, and seemed to be indeed full of confusion.
"What happened in the Ministry of Justice last night? Yier was thrown into the Heavenly Prison by you. Don't pretend to know nothing here!" Concubine Cheng looked at Jiang Suining hatefully.
"If Your Majesty wants to know what happened last night, you can naturally go and ask the Emperor. I dare not say much without the Emperor's order." Jiang Suining was still standing there obediently, his expression neither hot nor cold, very calm.
Concubine Cheng felt as if she had punched cotton. Her anger grew even more intense. Without caring about the injury on her knee, she stood up and rushed to Jiang Suining, raising her hand to hit him.
However, before the slap could land, Jiang Suining caught it firmly.
"You are so brave!"
Concubine Cheng never expected that Jiang Suining would dare to take action.
The maidservant standing by had never expected this scene. She was stunned for a long time before she hurried forward and tried to pull Jiang Suining away.
"Madam Jiang, you are too presumptuous, you..."
"Stop." Jiang Suining shouted at the maid, and when she stopped, she looked at Concubine Cheng again, "My Lady Concubine, you are indeed of noble status, and I dare not offend you, but I am not the kind of person who will let others do whatever they want. Even if you knew nothing about what the Fourth Prince did before, I think you should have known it after last night. He killed my father, and now you want to fight against me, your father. There is no such thing in the world."
Concubine Cheng was furious and scolded through gritted teeth: "I am the Concubine. Even if I want you to die, you have to listen. How dare you dare to talk to me about reason!"
Damn it, Jiang Suining is just a sixth-rank female official, yet she dares to talk to me like this!
"Are you sure, Imperial Concubine?" Jiang Suining raised a tiny arc at the corner of his lips, with a hint of sarcasm, "I'm afraid Imperial Concubine can't decide my life or death, and you have to think it over. I've always been a vindictive person. If this slap falls today, then I'll have a reason to deal with Imperial Concubine."
As the words fell, Jiang Suining withdrew his hand from Concubine Cheng's wrist and gave the choice to her.
With her right hand hovering in the air, Concubine Cheng looked at Jiang Suining in front of her, but she couldn't bring herself to slap him.
The expression of the person in front of her was so calm, so calm that she couldn't help but feel flustered.
Jiang Suining is indeed not a good person, and coupled with Shen Yanxi!
Yier's situation is unclear now. If Jiang Suining plots against her, her situation will probably get worse.
But even if he didn't do it, Jiang Suining wouldn't let it go...
Concubine Cheng was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but looking at Jiang Suining's face so close to her, she did not slap him in the face, but retracted her hand little by little.
"Jiang Suining, don't be too complacent. Yi'er is the emperor's son after all. I don't believe the emperor would be so cruel. He will definitely be safe and sound. That will be the time when you will be in big trouble!"
Hearing Concubine Cheng's words with forced confidence, Jiang Suining's face showed a rare look of clear sarcasm.
"Then I wish your Majesty to get what she wants."
