Chapter 426 The Tragic Queen 24
"Empress, something bad has happened. Concubine Xin has rushed into Li Da Ying's palace and whipped her. The guards outside Li Da Ying's palace ask the Empress to come over quickly."
Today is the day when Concubine Xin just came out of confinement. She couldn't bear the humiliation of the vicious woman who harmed her child, so she rushed into Li Da Ying's palace with a whip and whipped her, as if she wanted to beat her to death.
"Why is Concubine Xin so impulsive? Isn't she afraid of the emperor's blame?" Although she said this, Jiang Chunxi didn't look anxious at all. "Go down first!"
"Yes." The young eunuch who came in to report bowed and left.
"Your Majesty, this is a good thing," Chu Yu said as she served Jiang Chunxi some dishes. "If Li Yingxin can be beaten to death by Xinpin, it will help the Empress get rid of a big worry. So I think you should stop interfering."
Jiang Chunxi put down her chopsticks, picked up the soup spoon and drank a mouthful of soup before she sneered, "My biggest worry is that you are too flattering to Li Da Ying. She is now an ant under my feet. Whether I trample her to death or not depends on my mood."
"It would be too easy for Li to die so easily. Moreover, it would be very boring in the palace without Li. Therefore, Li should continue to live well. I want to see if she will go crazy."
Jiang Chunxi then put down the soup spoon and said, "Send someone to clear away the food. I have to go there quickly. Don't let Concubine Xin really beat Li Ying to death."
When Jiang Chunxi rushed to Li Ying's palace, Concubine Xin had already whipped Li Ying until she was covered in blood, and there were even two bloody whip marks on her face.
"Stop it," Jiang Chunxi quickly signaled for someone to stop Xinpin. After seeing Xinpin being stopped, she frowned and said to Xinpin, "Xinpin, are you crazy? You whipped a concubine. I think you don't want to be a concubine anymore."
"Empress," Xinpin burst into tears, "Li promised to kill my child, but she, the vicious woman, is still alive and well."
"That's right, I am crazy. I am almost driven crazy. Why can evil people still live well, while my poor child can only turn into a pool of blood?"
"The emperor is so cruel! That child is his own flesh and blood, but as the biological father of the child, he not only does not avenge his child, but he even protects the life of the murderer. Is there any father as cruel as the emperor in this world who would disregard his own flesh and blood for a woman? Isn't the emperor afraid of retribution and the extinction of his descendants in the future?"
"Snapped!"
Jiang Chunxi slapped Concubine Xin, looked at her coldly and said, "Are you awake now? If you are still not awake, I will slap you a few more times."
"I think you are desperate," Jiang Chunxi said, looking disappointed. "You even dare to curse the emperor. Do you think you have enough lives to let the emperor punish you?"
"Someone come! Send Concubine Xin back quickly." As Jiang Chunxi finished speaking, the servants around Concubine Xin hurriedly helped her away.
At this time, Concubine Xin was also scared, so she left obediently and did not dare to make any more noise.
Li Yingying supported her bloody body and sat up from the ground, staring at Jiang Chunxi with resentment: "The Queen is really capable. Seeing me end up like this, the Queen must be very proud now!"
"Ha!" Jiang Chunxi sneered, then sat down on the chair that Chu Qing had brought for her. "It's impossible to say that I'm not proud, but if I say I am proud, it feels a little off."
"Alas!" Jiang Chunxi sighed, "Yu Yuesong, you really disappoint me. You were completely defeated just after we started fighting. You said you were useless, but I felt no sense of accomplishment in winning. I really overestimated you."
This was the worst way to kill someone. Li Da Ying was so angry that her eyes almost popped out. "How did you do it? Why did you manage to get so many people to work for you when you didn't have power in the palace before? The most terrifying thing is that you even subjugated the people the emperor arranged to be around you."
"Jiang Chunxi, tell me, how did you manage to let me die with my eyes closed?"
"You want to know!" Jiang Chunxi gave Li Ying a gentle smile, "But what can I do? I just don't want to tell you, so you can die with regrets!"
Jiang Chunxi stood up immediately and said, "Li, please agree. We still have a long way to go. You must live well. Of course, if you really want to commit suicide, I will not stop you. After all, it is a great blessing for the concubines in the harem to have one less vicious woman like you."
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi then left with his people laughing.
As for the two palace maids who served Li Da Ying, they were the emperor's people on the surface, but in fact they were Jiang Chunxi's people, so there was no need to worry about what they would say to the emperor.
"Evil woman, Queen, you evil woman will not die a good death." Li Da Ying cried and shouted in grief. She never thought that she would be completely defeated by the Queen, and defeated so easily.
Although the emperor did not kill her, Li Da Ying knew that the relationship between her and the emperor could not go back to the way it was. It was only a matter of time before the emperor completely hated her. After all, the queen was around. How could that vicious woman tolerate that there was still a place for her in the emperor's heart? Maybe she spared her life just to make the emperor kill her with his own hands.
This was more devastating than taking her life, but she really couldn't commit suicide.
Then Li agreed and her eyes were burning with anger.
She can't just give up like this. As long as she is still alive, she still has a chance, so she can't just give up like this.
The emperor naturally also learned that Concubine Xin had whipped Li Da Ying, but he did not say anything.
Losing two children again was a heart-wrenching pain for the emperor. That was why he did not blame Concubine Xin for cursing him. After all, he felt guilty towards Concubine Xin. If he had continued to confine Li to house arrest, Concubine Xin would not have lost her children.
One year passed quickly. During this year, Li Ying had a very hard life. After all, she was just an agreement. Not only was the promised salary pitifully small, but the food and drink expenses were even less.
Add to that the harshness of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it was even worse. It was common for them to deliver rotten food. In short, Li Da Ying was tortured to the point of having lost her original appearance over the past year. Now she was like a withered flower, without any trace of her former beauty.
