Chapter 1104: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and twenty-six)
The Queen hurried over with Consort Jia and Consort Shu. Her face was stern, and there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes, obviously she was extremely dissatisfied with this sudden change.
Concubine Jia's face turned ashen. As the biological mother of the fifteenth princess, she was filled with anger and heartache when she saw her daughter was frightened.
Shufei's face was filled with anxiety. Her daughter, Princess Eleven, had gotten into trouble, and she was eager to plead for her daughter.
However, Concubine Shu said a few soft words, but Concubine Jia didn't appreciate it. She said that the fight between the two princesses in front of the coffin was disrespectful to the Empress Dowager, murdering compatriots, being unfilial and unbrotherly, and being unworthy of being a royal princess.
Princess Eleven was so angry that she wanted to go up and argue with Concubine Jia, but Concubine Shu stopped her. "Imperial physician! The imperial physicians are here!"
Qingli breathed a sigh of relief and slowly retreated into the crowd, just in time to see the slightly regretful looks on Geng Qianqian and the Crown Prince's wife's faces.
Qingli had no doubt that she had seen it wrong. It turned out that her previous thinking was wrong. These people in the royal family were all very smart.
They don't stand up and would rather be punished because they have lost a lot and have resentment in their hearts.
The eldest prince's wife is now a marginal figure. The emperor's attitude is fickle. Before, the eldest prince's wife was not allowed to leave the house most of the time throughout the year. Later, Zhao Qing died and the house arrest was lifted, but she was not taken with her on important royal matters.
In addition, after her husband and mother-in-law died, she pleaded with the emperor for her daughter and used up all the emperor's mercy, but the emperor didn't even intend to make her son the crown prince.
It is easy to imagine what will happen next. They will probably have to wait for the next emperor to come to the throne and show them favor. They, the eldest prince's lineage, have no sense of existence anymore. Good things cannot happen to them, and bad things will come to them first.
After losing her child, Geng Qianqian could only adopt a sick baby boy, which took up countless of her energy and energy, but she still got no results. The child's biological mother and father often suspected that she was not doing her best.
The baby boy born to another concubine looked healthier and more likely to survive than the child she had, but Zhao Jian had not yet agreed to raise that child with her.
Her husband, Zhao Jian, was also tacitly kicked out of the team of candidates for the crown prince. Every time she went out, everyone looked at her with ridicule and sympathy. After a long time, she couldn't help feeling unbalanced.
These frustrated people probably feel that their lives are already bad enough and it can't get any worse, so they just give up.
Let's speculate a little more maliciously: why did they feel regret when they saw the imperial physician coming? Was it because Concubine Jia and Concubine Shu didn't start a fight right away?
Or perhaps because Zhao Jing might not die, the Eleventh and Ninth Princesses wouldn't be severely punished, and Concubine Jia and Concubine Shu wouldn't become sworn enemies, thus preventing them from witnessing the two concubines' life-and-death struggle. They probably thought that if no one took action, even if something went wrong, they could claim they were too late to intervene. They feared that rash action might harm the Fifteenth Princess. The law doesn't punish everyone. With so many people in the hall, could the emperor really behead them all? She was just a little princess.
This is because they do not know Zhao Jing's true identity, otherwise they would consider whether they can afford to bear the emperor's anger.
In order to prevent Concubine Shu and Zhao Yu from being proud, if they knew that Zhao Jing was the prince, they would probably wish Zhao Jing was alive and make Concubine Shu unable to sleep every night.
This is the difference caused by information asymmetry.
All the imperial physicians were invited, but when Concubine Jia took one look at them, she directly designated the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, who was also the emperor's confidant.
Everyone thought Concubine Jia would definitely give in, after all, the future masters of the palace would be Zhao Yu and Concubine Shu, and even the Eleventh Princess wasn't too worried. So much so that when the imperial physician suggested that the Fifteenth Princess might have a chronic illness and a headache, Concubine Jia flew into a rage and, while no one was reacting, slapped the Eleventh Princess several times.
As for the Ninth Princess, she had been helped downstairs to recuperate due to abdominal pain, and the imperial physician took her pulse. She did not show up in front of Concubine Jia, causing the Eleventh Princess to bear all of Concubine Jia's anger.
"Jia Fei, you dare to hit me! You're rebelling... mmmm..."
Covering her daughter's mouth that was talking nonsense, Concubine Shu's face turned ashen.
She looked at Concubine Jia with a cold expression. For so many years, no one dared to take her so lightly. Beating her daughter in front of her was like stepping on her face!
However, Concubine Jia was a person who could judge the situation and had good eyesight. Seeing that Concubine Shu wanted to kill her, she turned around and ran to the palace door, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. When Concubine Jia was helped up by the emperor with a look of heartache on his face, everyone realized that the emperor had come.
