"Who is this?"
The Xichang Emperor's concubine was already very pregnant. Her stomach was so heavy that she needed to support it with both hands to feel better.
Jiang Pengji pretended not to recognize her, but the salted fish in the streaming room really could not.
Jianguang Shengji Ji: "This lady looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen her before. Does anyone remember her?"
Candy Factory: "She looks familiar too. Although she's very swollen during pregnancy, her facial features are quite beautiful. Her actual appearance should be pretty good, right? The number of pretty girls in the streaming room can be counted on one hand. With such good looks, she shouldn't be unknown … "
The power of five million salted fishes was not to be underestimated. There were always a few salted fishes with better memories.
Host Marry Me: "Wait, I remember now. No wonder she looks familiar. She seems to be the Xichang Emperor's concubine."
Someone recalled it and gave a hint, but most of the salted fish were still in a state of confusion.
Who was the Xichang Emperor's concubine?
Was she famous?
However, just by hearing the title "Emperor's concubine," one could tell that she came from a noble background and had an extraordinary status.
After following the map, everyone finally matched the Xichang Emperor's concubine with some memories that were thrown in a corner.
Many people suddenly realized that it was her.
Two Hundred Kilograms Salted Fish: "The Xichang Emperor's concubine? I have some impression of this woman. How did she become like this? "
Back then, there was a salted fish who participated in "Dream of a Thousand Years" and became the guard that escorted the Xichang Emperor's concubine and the Xichang Prince. The salted fish in the streaming room also saw the fairy-like siblings through the perspective of "Dream of a Thousand Years". They both had faces that made people want to fall in love at first sight.
It had only been a year since they last saw each other. How did the Xichang Emperor's concubine become like this?
Actually, it was not difficult to guess.
The Xichang Emperor's concubine was now An Cui's concubine. She was pregnant with An Cui's posthumous child. She was considered a rather special prisoner of war. Jiang Pengji did not intend to make things difficult for her, but she could not stop a few of An Cui's former officials from taking a shortcut. They took the initiative to present the Xichang Emperor's concubine to take credit and flatter her.
Pregnancy was a very difficult matter. Xichang's Empress Concubine's pregnancy was not very stable. In addition, she was constantly worried that her child's bloodline would be exposed, so her pregnancy was even more difficult. So many changes had happened in the past few months that she was on tenterhooks even in her dreams. As a result, she looked haggard and old. Her face was swollen several times, and the fat piled up on her double chin. Her thick neck made her collarbone disappear, and her red phoenix eyes were squinted. Where was the fairy-like face that made people fall in love at first sight?
If it weren't for the fact that his facial features still had traces of being at the peak of his attractiveness, even if five million salted fish gathered together, they wouldn't be able to guess who he was.
Without batting an eyelid, Jiang Pengji took the initiative to present the surrendered officials of the Xichang Emperor Concubine as an explanation.
"This person was originally a concubine of the Xichang royal family. She was later taken in as a concubine by the late Lord An Cui. The child in her womb is the late Lord's posthumous child."
Hearing the surrendered official say this, the expressionless Xichang Emperor Concubine finally reacted. She covered her face with her empty hand as though she could not bear it.
Jiang Pengji looked away.
"An Cui's posthumous son? I thought that you would care about the relationship between the ruler and the subject and preserve the last of his bloodline. "
The expressions of the surrendered officials suddenly changed, as if they had been painted with a thick layer of white paint.
They'd only heard that Jiang Pengji was difficult to deal with, but they didn't expect her to be so harsh with her words. She didn't leave them any face at all.
What she'd said just now was just short of pointing at their noses and scolding them as heartless and unscrupulous villains.
For a moment, their faces were a little hot, as if they'd been slapped a few times in the face in front of the world.
However, the older, the wiser. They were all people who were used to great storms and waves. Their mental fortitude was rather strong, and they wouldn't change their expressions because of this.
Not only would they not change their expressions, but they would also find a suitable excuse to save some face for themselves in the shortest time possible.
Why had they offered An Cui's concubine and posthumous son?
It was all for their new lord, Jiang Pengji.
Since Jiang Pengji was the person destined by the heavens, even if An Cui was their former lord, they had to look up to a wise lord.
Whoever the heavens had chosen to be the true Dragon Emperor, they should follow the will of the heavens to assist that person. How could they do something that went against the will of the heavens because of a wrong relationship between the ruler and the subject? Moreover, since Jiang Pengji was the true Dragon Emperor, she had a heart that could accept all rivers running into the sea. How could she be so petty that she couldn't even accept the posthumous son of a defeated opponent? They offered An Cui's concubine and posthumous son, naturally, not to take credit and curry favor. Regardless of whether she could accept them or not, they'd said what needed to be said and done what needed to be done. They'd fulfilled their duties as subjects. The rest was Jiang Pengji's business.
They were indeed old fellows who had lived a long life. They had a sense of propriety. If it had been someone else who had the bad habit of being overzealous, these words would have had a huge effect. Which person in a high position wouldn't like to listen to flattery? However, the person they were facing now was none other than Jiang Pengji!
Jiang Pengji ignored the flattery of these old fellows and turned to ask about the age of the fetus in Xichang's princess's womb.
The princess's voice was very embarrassed. She wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.
She didn't know how she'd gotten to this point.
The first time she saw Jiang Pengji, she was still the princess of a country and received courteous treatment.
Now, however, she was the concubine of a defeated opponent. Naturally, she was a captive and an existence at the mercy of others.
Jiang Pengji silently calculated the time in her heart. The other party was about to give birth soon.
"You are An Cui's concubine, and you're pregnant with his posthumous son. I've never liked to make things difficult for the old, weak, women, and children. An Cui's bloodline is only left with this one in your womb. Then you can rest assured and give birth to this child. I'll send people to take care of you and your son. "
She didn't have any emotional fluctuations, as if the princess was an unimportant passerby.
Hmm …
In reality, she was indeed a passerby, not worthy of her attention.
The princess had thought she was dead for sure. She'd never expected this outcome. If she could live, could the child in her womb also live?
For a moment, the princess's heart was filled with mixed feelings. Thousands of thoughts tangled in her heart.
These days, she'd racked her brains for survival. She'd been anxious and uneasy for so long.
To her, matters of life and death were not worth mentioning in Jiang Pengji's eyes.
With a few simple words, she'd decided whether she lived or died. She'd decided the future of the child in her womb …
The jealousy in the princess's heart churned endlessly. The sour taste almost surged up her throat.
Was this what it felt like to hold great power?
A single word determined life.
A single word threatened death.
It wasn't until now that the princess understood what it meant to say, "Thunder, rain, and dew are all the king's grace."
Jiang Pengji didn't care about the princess's matter. She was more concerned about Hua Yuan's whereabouts.
That lunatic dared to imagine that he was "Liu Xi"?
