Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 340: Live and Lose Everything

And the imperial physician just said that if it were someone else, there would be almost no hope of survival.

If she had eaten the orange, the result would be predictable.

She hated Su Rong so much because if she was given the chance, she would kill her and her child without hesitation.

Soon the child was taken away.

Yan Chu put away the tenderness in his eyes.

Call the palace maids from the Jiaomu Palace into the palace.

They all knelt together, shaking unconsciously.

"Qianyue, you are the Queen's personal maid, tell me, what happened?"

The child is safe. The most important thing now is of course to find out why there was heavy bleeding and premature birth.

At this moment, Qianyue was no longer as calm as usual.

I'm totally panicking.

"Reporting to the Emperor, I... Actually, I don't know what happened. It's just that the Empress had severe abdominal pain after eating oranges this morning, and then she started bleeding..."

She nervously recounted the entire process she had seen.

But it doesn't get to the point.

Everyone already knew that Su Rong had heavy bleeding after eating oranges.

The imperial physician also found a large amount of abortion drugs in the orange.

"Where do the oranges come from?"

Yan Chu asked patiently.

Qianyue subconsciously looked at Wanpin.

Then his eyes fell on Shen Zhishu again.

I don’t know if she was in a panic and didn’t know what to say, or if there was some other hidden story.

Her eyes were very guiding. After all, everyone's eyes were on her at this moment, wanting to know what was going on.

"If you know anything, just tell me. As long as you tell the truth, the emperor will not blame you."

The Queen Mother interrupted at this time.

It sounded like he was encouraging Qianyue to frame her, but it prevented the endless suspicion that look gave people.

Shen Zhishu was helpless. It was clear from the look in her eyes that she was trying to frame him.

But does she have this chance? The incident happened suddenly, and I'm afraid Su Rong still hasn't thought that she was the one in trouble, so how could she be framed?

But the dirty things they did together were not clean.

"These oranges...are only available in Jiaomu Palace and Kunning Palace. I heard that these are fresh goods that have just arrived. Wanpin spent a lot of effort to get them, so she sent a box to Jiaomu Palace."

So it’s Concubine Wan?

Everyone present immediately looked towards Concubine Wan.

She just knelt down, her face full of panic.

"Your Majesty, please understand. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. I only gave oranges to the virtuous concubine."

"Who can prove it?"

Yan Chu asked in a cold voice, the cold murderous aura made people scared, even suffocated.

"Xiao Cui."

"She is your personal maid. Her confession does not count."

Yan Chu's attitude was cold and hard, as if he had determined that Concubine Wan was the murderer.

Her face turned pale in an instant, with a hint of despair mixed in with her fear.

"Perhaps we can call Xiao Cui over to question her. She bought oranges from outside the palace, and they are scarce. Who knows, the merchant might still remember her. We can ask the merchant how many oranges Xiao Cui bought. There is a plate in this palace, and only one was eaten."

Shen Zhishu spoke at this time, and his words were very organized.

It sounds like there is some truth to it.

"I wonder how many oranges were delivered to Her Majesty the Queen this morning?"

She asked Qianyue again.

"About... about ten. The Queen ate two, and the rest are still in the kitchen."

"Unless the merchant can clearly remember Xiao Cui and know how many oranges she bought, and...if Wanpin did it on purpose, she could also be very cautious and buy them with someone else."

But Yan Chu quickly rejected the method proposed by Shen Zhishu.

Because there are too many loopholes.

"I didn't do that. I was wronged. How could I dare to attack the Empress and harm your child? I wouldn't dare. I absolutely wouldn't dare..."

She shook her head desperately, looking terrified.

No one present dared to speak.

Except Shen Zhishu.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. We cannot convict based on Qianyue's one-sided statement alone. Without sufficient evidence, we cannot wrongly accuse Wanpin."

"Since this concerns the heir to the throne, we must be cautious. Come, send Concubine Wan to a side hall and keep her under strict surveillance. She is not allowed to have contact with anyone without my permission."

The emperor then immediately ordered an investigation into the case.

How the oranges were delivered and through whose hands they passed must be strictly investigated.

Especially Xiao Cui, since she was the one who bought the oranges, she must be able to provide important clues.

Wanpin kept crying and saying that she was innocent, but she was powerless to change the emperor's decision, so she was taken away sadly by the guards.

late at night.

Yan Chu dismissed everyone and sent Shen Zhishu out of the palace.

"I will stay in Jiaomu Palace tonight, please go back carefully."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please take care of your health."

Shen Zhishu knew what he was going to do and did not ask, nor would he obstruct him.

Yan Chu seems to be a sentimental and responsible person.

After this incident, she felt that he meant more to her.

As for Su Rong, even if she didn't die this time, she had a close call with death.

She has suffered enough pain. When she wakes up and finds that she has shot herself in the foot, she wonders how crazy she will be.

But before that, she had to get Concubine Wan acquitted.

After this incident, no matter how much she thought in her mind, she could only be Su Rong's enemy from now on.

But the Queen Mother didn't think so.

The next day.

She went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.

"The queen suffered a great deal during childbirth and is still unconscious. When she wakes up, she will probably think that you are the one who killed her. With her temper, she might even rush to your bedroom and kill you. So...why don't you take the initiative?"

Shen Zhishu didn't expect her to be so direct.

After being stunned for a moment, he pretended to be frightened.

"If she never wakes up, you have the highest position in the palace, and the emperor loves you and raises her child by his side. He will be the crown prince in the future..."

It is really wonderful to hear the Queen Mother say this.

So let Su Rong lie down like this forever?

"But the emperor will definitely find a way to save her. The emperor is so wise. If she is exposed, not only will it implicate me, but I'm afraid it will also implicate you, my mother."

Poisoning is too dangerous, and you will be caught if you are not careful.

"Moreover, if the Empress has an accident while giving birth, I'm afraid the Emperor will miss her for the rest of his life, which is not what I want."

Judging from the emperor's attitude yesterday, even if he had no romantic feelings for Su Rong, he still had feelings for her as husband and wife, and he still regarded her as his legal wife.

"Are you going to miss this great opportunity? You know that once she wakes up, the emperor will definitely pity her, and with a child, they will only become closer."

The Queen Mother frowned, obviously disagreeing with Shen Zhishu's opinion.

"I will find a way."

How could she be allowed such an opportunity?

She lay there motionless for three days. It was impossible for her to do nothing.

Three days later.

Su Rong woke up.
