Chapter 118 The Shield Concubine 58
Chapter 118 The Shield Concubine 58
"The empty bowl of the pregnancy-maintaining medicine that the queen used is still in the food box."
"I forgot to have someone clean it. The imperial physician should check it to see if there is any cartilage powder in it."
Empress Dowager Xu signaled with a look.
Nanny Chen handed over the food box.
The imperial physician picked up the porcelain bowl and examined it carefully.
He put down the porcelain bowl with a heavy face.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, there is indeed a little bit of cartilage powder in the remaining pregnancy-preserving medicine."
The witnesses and physical evidence are all there.
But Zeng Rou still shook her head.
"I don't have any..."
But Sonny continued, "Your Majesty, please check the noble lady's bedroom. There is still some remaining cartilage powder."
Empress Dowager Xu asked, "Do you know why Concubine Zeng attacked Concubine Su?"
"Because the noble lady has a grudge against Concubine Su. When the noble lady returned to the palace, Concubine Su humiliated her with words, which made the noble lady hold a grudge."
"I wanted to use cartilage powder to teach Supin a lesson, but I never thought that Supin would fall down the stairs, and the royal heir was not saved."
The two did have a grudge against each other, and Zeng Rou even impulsively beat Su Xiaoqian.
If Zeng Rou wanted to frame Su Xiaoqian, it would not be unreasonable.
Now that it was revealed by her personal maid, it seems more credible.
Sang'er was the person chosen by Fu Rong.
When Fu Rong looked at Zeng Rou, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Zeng Rou turned and looked at Sang'er in shock, not understanding why he wanted to frame her.
"Sang'er, I treat you well on weekdays, why do you want to frame me?"
"My dear, I don't want to see you go astray. You must not disappoint the Queen Mother and His Majesty for your own selfish desires."
Empress Dowager Xu raised her hand and said in a deep voice, "Madame Chen, take people to search the palace to see if Concubine Zeng has any remaining cartilage powder."
"Yes."
Searching the palace takes time.
Su Xiaoqian's shrill cries were heard from inside the house.
Outside the house was deathly quiet.
Fu Rong had never experienced palace fighting, and faced with Zeng Rou, she had no way of defending herself.
He didn't even know how to plead for Zeng Rou.
Perhaps he himself did not even realize that his trust in Zeng Rou was no longer what it used to be.
Finally, Nanny Chen and the imperial physician came back, bringing with them a package.
"Your Majesty, I found this packet of white powder under Concubine Zeng's box. The imperial physician checked and it turned out to be cartilage powder."
Now there is real evidence.
"No, no, this is what Sang'er did to frame me. He deliberately placed it in my bedroom. That must be it."
"Queen Mother, you have to make the decision for me. You can't listen to her one-sided words. Your Majesty, I will not harm anyone."
Seeing Fu Rong standing there in a daze, Zeng Rou climbed up anxiously.
But when she just grabbed the corner of Fu Rong's clothes.
Sang'er clenched his hands with tears in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, this servant will never lie. Today I am willing to prove this with my life."
Before the people around her could react, she hit her head against a pillar and died.
Look at Sonny's limp body.
Zeng Rou fell to the ground with dazed eyes.
It's over. I'm all done.
The other party was willing to risk his life to frame me.
The dirty water was successfully thrown away.
Fu Rong looked at the tragic scene in front of her, the silent swaddling clothes, and the corpse lying on the ground, and for a moment she didn't know who to believe.
If Zeng Rou did nothing, how could Sang'er die in a car accident to prove himself?
Thinking of the child she had never met, Fu Rong covered her chest and was speechless.
It was really because Empress Dowager Xu protected him so well.
He had never seen the sinister plots in the palace.
But Empress Dowager Xu regrets it now.
The son whom he had taken such good care of was too naive and was taken advantage of, so he protected Zeng Rou regardless of his status.
Empress Dowager Xu took a deep breath and said, "Emperor, for the sake of the child's spirit in heaven, and for Concubine Su who just experienced the pain of losing her child, there is no place for Zeng Rou in the palace."
"Mother."
Fu Rong opened her mouth to plead for Zeng Rou.
But inside the room came the panicked voice of a palace maid, "Come here, call the imperial physician quickly, Concubine Su is having a hemorrhage."
I heard the word hemorrhage.
The Buddhist beads in Empress Dowager Xu's hand dropped in surprise, and the crisp sound attracted Fu Rong's attention.
She couldn't help but sigh, "I'm afraid Supin is not well."
All the imperial doctors entered the house, but they still failed to save Su Xiaoqian's life.
Su Xiaoqian lay on the bed, barely breathing.
The quilt was soaked with blood and there was no trace of blood on his face.
She said weakly to the maid, "I want to see His Majesty. Please ask His Majesty to come and see me. Go quickly."
Know that you can't do it.
He had intended to use the child to deal with Zeng Rou, win a bit of sympathy from Fu Rong, and hope to gain a glimmer of hope for his own survival.
But I didn't expect that I would lose my life.
I could see that I was dying.
It would be better to let myself become Zeng Rou’s lifelong pain.
The palace maid ran out of the house with blood on her hands.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is not feeling well. She just wants to see you again. Please go in and see the Queen."
Empress Dowager Xu had already guessed what Su Xiaoqian was going to do. She took the Buddhist beads that Nanny Chen picked up and said calmly.
"Emperor, go and take a look. Even if you don't like her, Concubine Su has borne your child after all."
Apart from her biological father, this was the first time Fu Rong faced death.
Even though he didn't like Su Xiaoqian and hated her for scheming to get into his bed.
But now the other person is about to die and still wants to see me for the last time.
Fu Rong nodded.
"Okay, I'll go in and take a look."
Zeng Rou grabbed Fu Rong's clothes tightly, trying to stop her from moving forward.
Because she had a premonition that if Fu Rong went in, she would probably never be able to turn over.
But Fu Rong pulled back the corner of his clothes without looking back.
Zeng Rou collapsed on the ground in despair.
It was unknown what Su Xiaoqian said in the room.
After Fu Rong came out, she posthumously conferred the title of Defei on Su Xiaoqian.
The eldest prince, who was not yet in the order of seniority, was also buried with Concubine De.
The palace began to hold funeral ceremonies for Concubine De, and Fu Rong even personally copied scriptures and sent them over.
But he was still distraught all day long.
Ah Zhi is pregnant and cannot go to the funeral.
But she came to the Yangxin Palace to visit Fu Rong.
Zeng Rou is now under house arrest.
Queen Mother Xu did not punish her easily.
"Your Majesty, the concubine came to visit with chicken soup."
Fu Rong, who was copying scriptures, put down her pen.
"Let the concubine come in."
Azhi slowly entered the hall.
Cuizhu followed behind with a lunch box.
"I have met your Majesty."
"You are pregnant, get up quickly."
I don’t know if it was because of the loss of the child or because of Concubine Su.
Now facing the pregnant Azhi, Fu Rong pays more attention to her than before.
He personally helped Ahzhi up.
Ah Zhi noticed the ink on his hands and gently wiped it clean with a handkerchief.
"Your Majesty, are you copying scriptures?"
"Ah."
Fu Rong and Azhi came to the desk together.
The whole table was filled with copied scriptures.
Ah Zhi picked up one of them at random and looked at it carefully.
What Fu Rong copied these days were all the Sutras on Rebirth.
