A tragic death in his previous life! Reborn to marry a stupid king and seize your kingdom

Chapter 5 Tiger Head Shoes

The expressions of the people in the hall changed instantly. Who didn't know that there were no dragons or dragon balls at the bottom of the lake, let alone the fact that touching the dragon balls would give birth to dragon children? This was clearly made up by Jiang Yong, a foreigner. As for making up such absurdity, No one dared to think carefully about what he was going to do.

Obviously he wanted to murder the emperor's heir! The royal heirs were already withering away, and they were not even a fraction of the former emperor's. There were only seven princes and two princesses in total.

"What a joke! If such a thing really happens, then how come I have a princess? Aren't they all dragons?"

There was no expression on the emperor's face. His eyes were staring straight at Jiang Fengqing, as if he could penetrate her soul. The sharp look in his eyes made Jiang Yan, who was kneeling beside him, shiver in his heart. However, Jiang Fengqing was still as timid as before. He lowered his head, as if he couldn't feel his pressure.

After a long while, the emperor turned his head and gave Eunuch Zhang a look.

Eunuch Zhang bowed to the emperor, then put two fingers into his mouth, a whistle sounded, and four or five shadows jumped out from around him, and followed Eunuch Zhang out.

The entire side hall was so quiet that one could hear the needle drop.

"Your Majesty? How is my concubine's child?"

Concubine Yuan, who was on the bed in the back room, woke up slowly at this moment. She lifted the bed curtain with her plain white hands and anxiously looked for the emperor's figure.

Jiang Fengqing looked up, and through the layers of curtains, she saw a soft and beautiful woman pushing herself up, her pale cheeks sunken slightly, her lips without any blood, and she was breathing rapidly.

Concubine Yuan also looked towards them. When she saw her, she was stunned for a while. She obviously didn't expect that the person who almost caused her to slip was here.

Her eyes moved slightly, she struggled to move the corners of her mouth, lowered her head and coughed violently.

"Your Majesty, the child is still here, and the child is fine! Your Majesty is in frail health, so don't get too excited!" The palace maid standing by hurriedly smoothed Concubine Yuan's back.

"You just said that because someone told you that there are dragon beads at the bottom of the lake, if a pregnant woman touches them, she will be pregnant with a male fetus. Then why don't you take Yao's concubine and jump into the bottom of the lake to make her pregnant with a male fetus? If I gave birth to a male fetus , then wouldn’t it be even more rare for Yao concubines to receive divine favor?”

Concubine Yuan spoke in a gruff tone, and her body was still a little weak, but after sitting in the position of concubine for several years, she naturally had the aura of a superior person, and she did not shy away from the emperor's presence, so she dared to talk about the affairs of the harem. , obviously there are some means.

The emperor also looked up at Jiang Fengqing, waiting for her explanation.

"This..." Jiang Fengqing gritted her teeth in embarrassment and hesitated to say anything. Finally, before the emperor spoke, she muttered in a low voice: "It's not because Sister Fenghua told me on the way into the palace that if the imperial concubine touched the dragon ball, , only after she really gives birth to a dragon son can I let the Yao concubine have a try..."

"Shut up! You treason!" Jiang Yanyan hurriedly covered her mouth, fearing that she would say something treasonous again.

Jiang Fengqing didn't struggle, she huddled tremblingly next to Jiang Yan, her eyes filled with tears again, and she looked at the emperor helplessly.

"Your Majesty, look what she is talking about? She actually wants this noble concubine to be a touchstone for the Yao concubines, which almost makes me never see the emperor again. The emperor must punish them well..." Concubine Yuan took a deep breath. In one breath, there was some grievance in his tone, his words were soft and frail, but he also contained unquestionable majesty, and he spoke to the point.

"It's natural." The emperor's voice was lowered a few degrees. He still sat at the tea table and said nothing. He just had a solemn expression and tapped his fingertips lightly on the table.

Although his response was brief, it was not perfunctory. Concubine Yuan's father was a bachelor of the second-grade cabinet. He trained many officials for the Northern Kingdom every year. The relationship among them was complicated, and there was only Yuan Jia, the eldest daughter. The emperor naturally paid great attention to this matter.

Not long after, noisy footsteps were heard outside the palace door, and Eunuch Zhang, who had just left, walked in quickly with Fu Chen in his arms: "Your Majesty, this servant has 'invited' Jiang Fenghua."

Eunuch Zhang deliberately emphasized the word "please". It was obvious that Jiang Fenghua had suffered a lot.

Jiang Fenghua walked in slowly, looking a little panicked.

The jade hairpin on her bun was a little crooked, and a few strands of hair fell down. It was obvious that she was completely unprepared for entering the palace this time. She held the handkerchief tightly in her palm, and there were some wrinkles on her blue emerald smoked sweater. Although she was fourteen or fifteen years old, it was her first time entering the palace today, so she felt guilty and walked with a slightly hunched back.

Jiang Fengqing turned her head and looked back, looking at the young face in front of her. Scenes of the pain of having an iron chain pierced through her collarbone flashed through her mind, and finally Jiang Fenghua's proud eyes...

She suddenly tightened her handkerchief, her nails dug into her palms, and the bright red blood wet the gaps between her nails, but the pain was less than one ten thousandth of what she had suffered in her previous life. Jiang Fenghua and Nangong Zhuo must repay Jiang Fenghua and Nangong Zhuo a hundred or a thousand times for the hardship she suffered in her previous life!

The tip of Jiang Fengqing's nose turned red, and there was moisture in her eyes. She quickly lowered her head to wipe the tears with her hands, hiding the murderous intent in her eyes.

"Daughter of the people, please see the emperor. Long live the emperor." The voice was soft and weak.

The moment Jiang Fenghua saw Jiang Fengqing, she straightened her neck and maintained her dignity. Her eyes turned red as soon as she knelt on the ground, and she pleaded softly: "Your Majesty, Sister Fengqing did it unintentionally! She didn't mean to The imperial concubine pushed her into the water, please ask the emperor to spare Sister Fengqing!"

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Fenghua kowtowed, comparing her strength with each other. The kowtow was so sincere that her tears couldn't stop falling. After a few moments, her forehead was covered with blood. The tears and blood mixed together and turned red. A large area of ​​floor.

Jiang Fengqing raised her head suddenly. Jiang Fenghua's words were equivalent to directly condemning her. She stared sharply at Jiang Fenghua who was kneeling on the ground, with a cold light in her eyes.

If that's the case, then she won't be polite.

This scene happened somewhat unprepared. After seeing the blood on Jiang Fenghua's forehead, everyone reacted belatedly. They all knew in their hearts that the two sisters were playing tricks on each other, but the emperor was still here, so naturally they Can't speak.

After Jiang Fenghua grinned and kowtowed a few times, she found that no one spoke. She raised her head pitifully, looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, and begged: "Your Majesty, Sister Fengqing is still young and has a more playful nature. It is inevitable, but fortunately the imperial concubine’s fetus is safe and no big mistake has been made. I hope the emperor will give you a gentle punishment..."

Tears shone in the corners of her eyes. She raised her head and glanced at the emperor. As if she was frightened, she quickly lowered her head and knelt on the ground. Her body seemed a little thin. She bit her lips tightly and tried to control her trembling body. She raised her back. It was as if he was going to die alone for Jiang Fengqing.

Everyone was affected by her tragic mood, and their eyes turned from contempt to sympathy. As soon as this outsider was brought back to the Jiang family, she always thought about Jiang Fengqing and dared to risk her own life to plead for her sister. Just this. Such courage is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"When you and Jiang Fengqing entered the palace together, what did you say to her on the sedan chair?" A weak questioning voice came from behind the bed curtain. Concubine Yuan did not fully believe Jiang Fenghua's sophistry. After all, in the deep palace, such a She has seen too many tricks.

Jiang Fenghua clenched her sleeves instantly and looked up in panic. She was so nervous when she came that she didn't realize there was anyone behind the bed curtain.

Who is this person? Why do you want to ask her what she said to Jiang Fengqing on the sedan chair?
  Through the layers of gauze, she saw a delicate but stunningly beautiful woman, and then she realized with hindsight that this was the bad concubine in her mouth.

On the sedan chair...

"Feng Qing, let me tell you a secret..."

"Do you know? I heard from people in the village that Concubine Yuan was evil. She murdered several princes in the harem. It was Concubine Yuan who caused our sister's years of infertility. You see, Concubine Yuan is not the only one in the harem now. Is your concubine pregnant alone?"

Jiang Fenghua's panicked heartbeat was about to reach her throat, and her tear-stained face collapsed several times. After taking a deep breath, she managed to stabilize her body.

Her face gradually turned pale, and she opened her mouth several times but could not utter a word.

At this moment, the chaotic footsteps outside the hall were mixed with the old woman's anxious breathing: "Sixth Prince, please run slower! Even this slave can't catch up!"

Before anyone could react, the door was pushed open with great force, and cool water vapor rolled in, making everyone shiver. The sixth prince Nangong Li ran in dripping with water, leaving a long string of watermarks on the imperial kiln bricks behind him.

"Mother Concubine! Mother Concubine! They are lying. There is no dragon at all in the imperial garden pond, no dragon! And no dragon ball!" The sixth prince wiped the water stains on his forehead, his rich voice a little annoyed.

This sound...

Jiang Fengqing raised her eyes and saw the man's stunning face, with sharp eyebrows, a high nose, and piercing eyes. The water droplets sliding down his face added an aura of abstinence.

She ducked her eyes and looked down. After being soaked by the water, Nangong Li's dark green robe stuck tightly to her skin, making her originally upright body appear firmer and stronger. Her chest and abdominal muscles were vaguely visible, but The bright yellow tiger-head shoes on his feet are a bit awkward.

"Nangong Li..."
