Chapter 138 The Imperial Concubine is Using Her as a Shield Again Today
Jiang He learned that the newcomer had discovered the truth.
Very good, this is a smart person.
Jiang He invited people to stroll together in the Imperial Garden.
The two sat and chatted in the pavilion in the Imperial Garden, and no one knew what they talked about.
Jiang He gave someone a gift.
The newlyweds exchanged information and discovered that they had all been forced by the Emperor to drink the contraceptive soup.
Even if she pretended to be asleep, the emperor would wake her up and insist that she drink the contraceptive soup before he would leave.
The Emperor clearly doesn't want them to have children.
All that so-called pampering is fake.
The emperor wanted to use them to deal with others.
Does that mean that in the future, the Emperor will use others to deal with them again?
Will their fathers and brothers also be feared by the emperor and thus be exterminated?
The Imperial Concubine is right, the Emperor is a selfish and self-serving person.
He only has himself in his heart.
So-called pampering is just a means of manipulation.
Since that's the case, we have no choice but to strike first.
The Imperial Concubine gave them a gift.
They also studied this thing, but they couldn't figure it out.
However, the Imperial Concubine had no reason to lie to them.
This poison is undetectable, and even if it were investigated, it wouldn't be traced back to them.
Of course, they also asked the Imperial Concubine why she didn't administer the poison herself.
The imperial concubine said, "I went down, but it didn't work."
Every time she drugged him, the emperor would coincidentally not eat at her place.
If she stops administering the medicine, the Emperor will come.
She even sent it to the Qianlong Hall, but it was useless.
Even if they administer the drugs, the Imperial Concubine cannot guarantee success on the first try; it may require several attempts.
The group decided to split up, with the Emperor always choosing one location.
Someone will eventually succeed.
The emperor didn't know what was wrong, but he felt his health was deteriorating day by day, and he always felt very tired.
I feel sleepy and want to sleep at night. During the day, I feel drowsy and can't muster any energy.
The imperial physician examined the emperor but found nothing wrong; he could only say that the emperor was overworked and needed more rest.
I am indeed a bit tired.
The Emperor planned to get a good night's sleep.
He slept until the end of time.
The emperor never woke up again.
A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. For some reason, the emperor fell into a deep sleep and never woke up again.
The ministers discussed how to establish a new emperor.
However, the emperor had no sons, only eleven princesses.
So what if she's a princess? She's still the emperor's offspring.
The emperor's brothers were all dead, and no other suitable candidates could be found.
However, the princess was still too young, so Jiang He had to hold her and rule from behind a curtain.
As for why the Imperial Concubine was chosen, it's because the Imperial Concubine has the highest rank.
Moreover, she was the nominal mother of the four princesses.
Moreover, the Jiang family now has members in both civil and military positions in the previous dynasty.
With Jiang Yun standing there, who would dare to say anything against it?
If you disagree, then go ask the Emperor if he agrees.
Oh, the Emperor is asleep.
Then you should go to sleep and go see the Emperor.
If all else fails, we can send you to see the late emperor and ask if he would allow his granddaughter to become empress since he had no grandson.
After years of being a lazy bum in the harem, Jiang He finally couldn't escape her fate.
However, being a regent empress dowager is also a new experience.
Yes, that's right, a year after the emperor fell into a deep sleep.
Finally, no one dared to dream that the emperor would wake up.
That year, Jiang He truly performed his duties and did not act recklessly.
The emperor was also sent to retire.
After all, the emperor was only in a deep sleep, not completely dead, so they couldn't just bury him directly; they could only send him to live out his old age.
The princesses are still too young and are still being taught by the Grand Tutor.
No princess was chosen to succeed the empress.
Jiang He will temporarily serve as Empress Dowager Regent to handle state affairs.
Whichever princess is most suitable to be empress in the future will inherit the position.
Regardless of who inherits the throne, Jiang He will always be the Empress Dowager.
Because the Empress's fate had not been decided, some of the concubines began to harbor other thoughts.
Some concubines in the harem were plotting to have their princess inherit the throne so that the Empress would honor them as Empress Dowager and remove Jiang He from power.
Well, Jiang He saw the other party off first.
If the princess's birth mother tries to control the princess, she doesn't mind that the princess's mother is deceased and that she will only have one mother from now on.
If they behave themselves, she can keep them around so they can occasionally see the princess, have meals with her, and chat with her.
Ten years later, the sixth princess emerged victorious and became the first empress.
The other princesses left the palace to establish their own residences, and the talented ones entered the court to share the emperor's burdens.
As empresses and princesses entered the court, the status of women rose higher and higher.
Women can go to school, women can study and take exams, and women can go to the streets and discuss things with men.
Women are no longer confined to their boudoirs.
Consort Yue left the palace with the Eleventh Princess.
The Eleventh Princess is exceptionally intelligent; if she were to compete for the position, it might not necessarily go to the Sixth Princess.
However, her ambitions lay not in the imperial court.
She knew that her mother had been trapped in the palace her whole life, and she wanted to take her mother to see the outside world.
The world is vast; it's not just this square patch of land.
The eleventh princess did not enter the imperial court, but instead chose to go into business.
Doing business allows you to go out and explore, taking Yuepin to different places, meeting different people, and seeing different skies.
Moreover, doing business can make money, and can buy all sorts of things for Consort Yue. Her mother deserves the best of everything.
With money, she could buy her mother many, many nice things.
He took Consort Yue on trips all over the country, both to do business and to enjoy the scenery.
When the national treasury was empty, it was the eleventh princess who generously donated a large sum of silver to the treasury.
It was also the eleventh princess who, upon seeing the disaster victims, distributed porridge to save them.
When Jiang He saw Consort Yue again, Consort Yue was radiant.
After leaving the Emperor, without compromising herself, Consort Yue's life began to shine with new brilliance.
After the Sixth Princess was able to shoulder heavy responsibilities, Jiang He also left the palace.
Her laid-back lifestyle has restarted.
Jiang He set off with four maids.
She planned to head north first to visit her father in the border region.
Her father had long since resigned from his official post and taken her mother to the frontier, where her mother immediately fell in love with the vast grasslands.
Now they have settled down on that vast grassland.
Jiang He really wanted to see what magic that vast grassland possessed that had captivated her parents so much that they hadn't returned home for a year.
When Jiang He finally saw the vast grassland, she regretted not coming sooner.
This place is so beautiful, it's truly a paradise on earth.
Before the Lunar New Year, because none of them wanted to go back, the eldest brother's family had to bring their entire household to the grasslands to reunite with everyone.
The listening devices that were originally given to the concubines in the harem are still there, and the princesses also have listening devices.
Although Jiang He was far away on the grassland, she never forgot to listen to the sounds from thousands of miles away every day.
It's gossip, it's watching a show, it's also monitoring, it's investigating.
The sixth princess did not disappoint her; she worked diligently and genuinely served the people.
The girls' school founded by Jiang He is also developing better and better.
As a woman myself, I understand the hardships women face and am willing to give them a chance to prove themselves.
Although this period of history will soon be corrected as times change, it is enough that it will leave a significant mark on history.
