Phi-Fic Chapter 119 The Shield Concubine 59
Chapter 119 The Shield Concubine 59
Fu Rong was probably deeply affected by the death of Su Xiaoqian and the child.
People don't care much when they die.
It was really ridiculous that Fu Rong felt a bit of pity for the person who was waiting to die.
Ah Zhi put the scripture aside and sighed, "With your majesty's scripture to pray for the soul, Concubine De will surely ascend to heaven with her child soon."
"I hope that they and their son will have a smooth afterlife. I feel guilty towards them in this life."
If he really felt guilty, he should deal with Zeng Rou immediately.
Ah Zhi comforted Fu Rong, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Concubine De is devoted to you and will never bear any grudge against you. The little prince is Your Majesty's biological son and will definitely feel Your Majesty's fatherly love."
As long as it’s whatever Fu Rong wants to hear.
Ah Zhi said something to him.
Sure enough, there was a hint of relief in Fu Rong's eyes, and the look he gave Azhi became even gentler.
"Thank you so much, Imperial Concubine, for comforting me. Ever since Concubine De and the little prince passed away, I have been feeling uneasy."
"As for Zeng Rou's matter, I really don't know how to deal with it."
Empress Dowager Xu did not force Fu Rong to punish Zeng Rou.
However, with irrefutable evidence, Fu Rong had no choice but to deal with Zeng Rou.
He hid in the Yangxin Palace to copy scriptures, not only to seek peace of mind, but also to avoid punishing Zeng Rou.
Fu Rong took the initiative to mention Zeng Rou in front of Azhi because she wanted to find someone to talk to.
Azhi sat down and spoke softly to Fu Rong.
"Your Majesty and Concubine Zeng have had a hard time along the way. She has grown up with Your Majesty."
"Rather than being your Majesty's concubine, I would rather say that I am your Majesty's companion and relative."
"But the Queen Mother is your Majesty's mother, and she only cares about your Majesty. Your Majesty should not harbor any grudges against her."
"The Queen Mother is furious now, and Your Majesty has no choice but to deal with her. You should be more cautious during this period of time and don't let the Queen Mother be dissatisfied with Concubine Zeng again."
Fu Rong was naturally unhappy when she heard Ah Zhi advising her to deal with Zeng Rou.
Zeng Rou has only been brought back a few days ago. If she is really to be punished, she will definitely be severely punished.
He still has some place for Zeng Rou in his heart.
"Should I really punish her?"
Ah Zhi sighed with difficulty.
"The evidence is irrefutable. Three lives have been lost. If Your Majesty does not make a reasonable decision, how can you be worthy of the deceased Concubine De and the little prince?"
Thinking of Su Xiaoqian whom I saw that day, she had tears in her eyes and a dead look on her face.
It has become Fu Rong's lingering nightmare.
Whenever he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but recall the scene of that day.
The other party's tearful confession and talking about the joy of being pregnant.
Sometimes Fu Rong couldn't help but think.
If I had been nicer to her, Concubine De and the child would not have died.
The disputes in the palace are all for themselves.
He looked for the reason in himself.
Azhi saw Fu Rong lost in thought.
"Why not let Concubine Zeng fake her death and send her out of the palace? My mother's family can do some things for Your Majesty outside and will never let Concubine Zeng suffer."
"When your majesty is fully in power, or when the queen mother's anger has subsided, you might as well bring Concubine Zeng back. I don't want to see your majesty worrying."
Don't think that Azhi is kind-hearted.
If Zeng Rou leaves the palace and falls into my hands, I will never let her have an easy time.
I didn't expect that Azhi was willing to help me.
Fu Rong was moved and held Azhi's little hand.
"Zhizhi, are you willing to help me?"
"I don't want to see Your Majesty sad, and I believe Aunt Zeng Rou is innocent."
Everyone in the palace believed that Zeng Rou was the one who killed Concubine De and the child.
Now Azhi said that he believed Zeng Rou.
Fu Rong felt that Azhi was her sweetheart.
Azhi smiled gently at Fu Rong.
"I hope Your Majesty is happy."
"By the way, I have made chicken soup for Your Majesty. Please drink some to refresh yourself. You have been really tired these days."
"it is good."
Fu Rong was touched by Azhi's understanding and showed infinite tenderness towards her.
Seeing Fu Rong finish drinking the chicken soup, Azhi offered to leave.
Just returned to Luhua Palace.
Cuizhu took off the pearl hairpin for Azhi.
"Your Highness, why are you helping Concubine Zeng today? If His Majesty dealt with Concubine Zeng, wouldn't it be more beneficial to Your Highness?"
Look at your gentle face in the mirror.
Azhi showed a more gentle smile in the mirror.
"I didn't say I would help you to the end."
Helping to leave the palace is not false, and helping to settle down is even more true.
Azhi wanted Zeng Rou to fall into his hands even more.
By then, it will be easy to flatten or round it.
"Cuizhu, go tell Chen Yue to help His Majesty and get Zeng Rou out of the palace safely."
"Yes."
Three days later, Fu Rong issued an edict to depose Zeng Rou from her position as noble lady and gave her a cup of poisoned wine.
This shocked Empress Dowager Xu.
Wait until Zeng Rou's "corpse" was dragged out of the palace and buried.
Empress Dowager Xu confirmed in disbelief, "Did the emperor really order Zeng Rou to be executed? Without any hesitation?"
Nanny Chen nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty only went to see him for the last time."
"Yes, this is what an emperor should do. He must be decisive in doing things and must not be soft-hearted."
"The emperor must be extremely disappointed with Zeng Rou, so he is willing to treat her like this."
Empress Dowager Xu was very satisfied with the result.
Zeng Rou was sent to a house outside the palace, and Chen Yue even sent people to keep a close eye on her and not allow her to contact outsiders.
At first Zeng Rou didn't notice anything was wrong.
By the time she came to her senses, it was already too late.
Chen Yue asked someone to imitate Zeng Rou's handwriting and deliberately wrote a letter to Fu Rong in the palace.
Ten months of pregnancy and one day of delivery.
Azhi finally gave birth to the eldest son that Empress Dowager Xu had been dreaming of.
Looking at the baby in the cradle, Empress Dowager Xu nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, the concubine is a capable one."
Fu Rong, who was standing by, looked at the child in a daze.
Empress Dowager Xu pushed him forward helplessly.
"You are a father now, why don't you hug your son?"
When Su Xiaoqian gave birth to a stillborn baby, Fu Rong didn't even dare to look at it.
Now I am facing a healthy baby with a rosy complexion.
He quickly reached out and took it and held it in his arms.
It’s a pity that his movements were stiff, causing the child to cry.
Empress Dowager Xu said with some disdain, "Okay, you'd better stop holding him. Let the wet nurse take him back. The baby has just been born and his bones are soft. Your posture is wrong and he will be uncomfortable."
"it is good."
Behind the screen, Azhi closed his eyes and rested, not paying much attention to what was happening outside.
At this time, Fu Rong took the initiative to speak.
"Mother, ever since the death of Concubine De and her son, I have been feeling very sad."
"Now that the Imperial Concubine has safely given birth to the Emperor's eldest son, my son wants to promote her to the position of Imperial Concubine."
I didn't expect Fu Rong to take the initiative to promote Azhi.
Queen Mother Xu raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"The emperor is very concerned about the imperial concubine now. I am really happy for you."
Ever since Zeng Rou was sentenced to death, Empress Dowager Xu became more and more satisfied with Fu Rong.
The other party is becoming more and more like a qualified emperor, knowing how to balance the harem and the front dynasty.
