After the female supporting role is quickly put on, she is full of charm

Chapter 117 The Shield Concubine 57

"You bastard, how could Concubine Su use her own child to harm you? The price is too high."

"You should know that Concubine Su is going to give birth in a few months. I just promised her that she would be promoted to the position of consort after she gave birth to the royal heir. How could she use her own child to harm you?"

No one believed that Su Xiaoqian would take advantage of her own child.

Because Su Xiaoqian relied on the child to climb up.

Zeng Rou was not on guard against Su Xiaoqian because she didn't believe that she would take advantage of the child.

If Zeng Rou had known that Su Xiaoqian was going to use the child to frame her, she would have certainly been careful and would never have gotten close to her.

But it's too late to say anything now.

She explained in a panic, "Queen Mother, I don't have my own children. What good will it do me to harm Concubine Su? Not to mention such a despicable method."

It would be best for Azhi if Su Xiaoqian had a miscarriage.

At this moment Fu Rong came quickly.

The other party has resumed power and just hurried in from the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

"Mother!"

Seeing Zeng Rou kneeling on the ground, Fu Rong felt distressed and wanted to go forward to support her.

But this time Empress Dowager Xu was angry.

She pointed at Fu Rong and scolded her harshly.

"Shut up, you still want to protect this vicious woman."

"I promised to let her come back, but I warned you in advance that if she wants to live a good life in the palace, she must keep her head down and behave herself for me."

"Otherwise, I will never let her go easily, Emperor, have you forgotten everything?"

The look that Empress Dowager Xu gave the two of them was majestic and powerful.

Faced with the overwhelming anger of Empress Dowager Xu, Fu Rong let go of her hand in shock.

Zeng Rou lowered her head and dared not breathe.

But Fu Rong argued for her.

"Mother, Ah Rou is not that kind of person. How could she harm Supin's child? This would not do her any good."

"No benefit? I know very well that Supin and her had a grudge in the past."

"The maid who used to kowtow to me is now climbing over my head. How can I accept this?"

I heard Empress Dowager Xu throwing dirty water on me.

Zeng Rou raised her head and shook her head vigorously with tears in her eyes, looking innocent as if she had been framed, but she did not win any sympathy from Empress Dowager Xu.

Fu Rong came back to his senses and pretended to be calm, "Mother, I don't believe she harmed anyone. You can't just listen to the one-sided words of Supin's entourage and convict Zeng Rou so easily. Please judge this matter carefully."

But Empress Dowager Xu stared at him coldly.

"You really won't cry until you see the coffin. All right, come here, have all the palace maids and eunuchs who served me at the time brought to me for interrogation."

"We must restore the truth of what happened at that time in detail. We must not let any innocent person go unpunished, and we must not let the evildoers go unpunished."

"Yes."

Empress Dowager Xu softened her voice and said to Fu Rong, "Emperor, please listen carefully to the screams of Concubine Su inside, even if the Emperor doesn't like Concubine Su."

"But the baby in her belly is your own child. Aren't you sad at all?"

Just then, Su Bin's screams crossed the sky, along with her cries filled with misery and pain.

"Ah, child, my child..."

At this time, the nanny in the room came out holding a swaddling baby.

There was pity on her face.

"I greet the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, Concubine Zeng, the fetus in Concubine Su's belly has not been saved."

Because the child had grown into a full-grown form, the dead baby was wrapped in swaddling clothes and taken out.

Queen Mother Xu couldn't help but ask, "Prince or princess?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, it is the little prince."

Upon hearing that it was a boy, Empress Dowager Xu shook her head and sighed.

"It's a pity."

She turned to look at Zeng Rou and Fu Rong and said with heartache, "Emperor, please listen carefully. Concubine Su aborted a boy."

"He should have been your eldest son. He is her only support. How could you use your support to frame Zeng Rou?"

Facing the tiny baby in the nanny’s arms.

Fu Rong didn't have the courage to look any longer and lowered her head in a daze.

After all, he is her own son, and Fu Rong is a soft-hearted person.

Otherwise, she would not be easily controlled by Zeng Rou. Most people would not accept a woman who has been touched by their father.

But Fu Rong just endured it.

Nanny Chen came forward with the palace maids and eunuchs, including Sang'er who had accompanied Zeng Rou that day.

Zeng Rou secretly went to the Yangxin Palace every day to accompany Fu Rong.

But she was afraid of being discovered by Empress Dowager Xu, so she only took Sang'er with her.

Because Sang'er was the palace maid arranged by Fu Rong.

Su Bin brought a lot of people with her. She fell down the stairs at a tricky angle and it looked like Zeng Rou had pushed her intentionally.

"Empress Dowager, these are the palace maids and eunuchs who served the two masters that day."

"The maids and eunuchs of Qingquan Palace all said the same thing, that Concubine Zeng dismissed Concubine Su, but Sang'er..."

Nanny Chen hesitated when she mentioned Sang'er.

Zeng Rou had an even worse feeling.

Queen Mother Xu looked at Sang'er and asked, "Do you know what I want to ask you?"

Sang'er fell to his knees and shook his head.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Zeng did nothing. I saw it with my own eyes."

"Oh? You didn't do anything? If you see something and don't say it, I will pull out your tongue."

Faced with the majestic voice of Empress Dowager Xu, Sang'er trembled all over and shook his head.

But she still managed to answer with a trembling voice, suppressing her fear.

"Your Excellency did not push Concubine Su. I saw it with my own eyes."

Zeng Rou did not push Su Bin, but Sang'er's eyes were cold.

Facing Sang'er's denial, Empress Dowager Xu continued to ask in a cold voice, "Do you dare to swear? Swear on your parents, brothers and sisters that Concubine Zeng has no intention of harming Concubine Su."

Just when Fu Rong and Zeng Rou were breathing a sigh of relief.

Sonny was pale and said nothing.

At this time, Empress Dowager Xiaoxu narrowed her eyes slightly.

"What an unexpected gain, Sonny. Whatever you know, you must tell me the truth. Don't let me get involved."

"You should know that Concubine Su and the eldest prince were both killed by Concubine Zeng. The Ministry of Punishment is not a good place to be."

Sang'er first looked at Zeng Rou, and finally looked like he couldn't hide it anymore.

"Empress Dowager, the noble lady did not push Supin, but she put a small amount of cartilage powder in Supin's pregnancy-preserving medicine."

"Cartilage powder?"

Queen Mother Xu looked at the imperial physician beside her and asked, "What is that?"

"Reporting to Her Majesty, Cartilage Powder is a folk medicine powder."

"If a person takes a certain dose, they may become weak and unable to stand up, which may last for several hours."

"If you take a small amount, you will also feel weak, but it won't last long."

"When Concubine Su miscarried just now, she did feel weak all over. It is possible that it was caused by the consumption of cartilage powder."

"But we still need to check the medicine that the queen took to preserve her pregnancy to confirm whether it was because of the small amount of cartilage powder she took that caused her body to weaken and she fell, and lost the heir to the throne."

As soon as the imperial physician finished speaking, Su Bin's maid hurriedly spoke.

"Empress Dowager, the medicine for your pregnancy preservation is boiled in the Imperial Hospital, and it will indeed pass by Concubine Zeng's residence. When I was carrying the medicine back, I met Concubine Zeng."
