It was obvious that when his own son was young, he couldn't bear to step on an ant to death.

He was even praised by the late emperor and will be a benevolent emperor in the future.

Why are you saying this now?

Empress Dowager Xu was really shocked.

She held the colored glass string tightly in her hand and asked Fu Rong, "You actually want to sentence Su Xiaoqian to death? Half an hour ago, you were still entangled in this Yangxin Palace, and now you actually say you want to stab her to death?"

From beginning to end, Empress Dowager Xu never thought of ordering Su Xiaoqian to be executed.

Which woman in the palace doesn't want to climb up?

Even these noble ladies from aristocratic families, after entering the palace, also wanted to be honored and give birth to a prince, and hoped to be crowned queen and bring glory to the whole family.

What's more, he is of other use to Su Xiaoqian.

Since entering the palace, Concubine Xian has been unwilling to try to please the Emperor. Empress Dowager Xu believes that it is because she has no competition and no pressure.

If she feels threatened.

Naturally, she knew how to please the emperor and have children with him.

Empress Dowager Xu wanted Su Xiaoqian to provoke Concubine Xian.

She's just a palace maid, and I don't believe she can do anything.

But I didn't expect that my son could be so cruel.

Azhi raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise. She didn't expect that Fu Rong would actually stab Su Xiaoqian to death for Zeng Rou.

Su Xiaoqian turned pale upon hearing this, and stared at Fu Rong blankly. Her body went limp and she slipped off the stool, kneeling on the ground with her hands on the ground and her head lowered.

Tears fell like pearls falling off the string.

The two of them were entangled in each other's arms, full of tenderness and love.

But now Fu Rong gave the poisoned wine with a casual remark.

It made Su Xiaoqian feel even more desperate and terrified.

Su Xiaoqian didn't dare to harbor resentment towards Rong Sheng, but she couldn't help hating Zeng Rou in her heart.

Maybe he felt that he was too excited and the words he said were too harsh and vicious.

Fu Rong added to Queen Mother Xu, "My son meant that he didn't want to embarrass the royal family. Su Xiaoqian is just a palace maid of low birth."

"She entered the palace with a purpose. She must have used some cheap means to seduce her."

"means?"

Queen Mother Xu grasped the point and said in a cold voice, "Do you think Su Xiaoqian drugged you?"

"Yes, my son was reviewing memorials, how could he have visited her for no reason? She must have put drugs in my son's tea, which made my son unable to control himself."

It’s not like there haven’t been cases of palace maids drugging people in the palace.

Most of these aphrodisiacs have medicinal properties and are likely to harm men's bodies.

Aphrodisiacs were strictly prohibited in the palace, and concubines were not allowed to use them on the emperor.

Empress Dowager Xu is Fu Rong's mother, and she will not allow anyone to hurt Fu Rong.

"Someone, call the imperial physician."

"Yes."

When Su Xiaoqian heard that Empress Dowager Xu was going to ask the imperial physician, she subconsciously looked at Azhi.

But the other party acted very calm and even narrowed his eyes slightly at him.

Su Xiaoqian felt even calmer.

If the virtuous concubine is not afraid, what should I be afraid of?

"Su Xiaoqian, I want to ask you, was it because you drugged him that His Majesty favored you? If you admit it in advance, I can spare your life."

"But if you are full of tricks and disregard the emperor's health, I will give you a cup of poisoned wine to kill you."

I already feel reassured.

But Su Xiaoqian still trembled all over.

But when she looked up, there was determination in her eyes.

"I swear that I have never used any medicine, let alone harmed your majesty's body."

Queen Mother Xu raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Originally, she thought Fu Rong favored Su Xiaoqian because he liked her.

But Fu Rongde's flat denial just now immediately made Empress Dowager Xu undecided.

Now Su Xiaoqian said it with finality.

Empress Dowager Xu found the matter very interesting.

"If you hadn't drugged me, the emperor would have given you a title."

No drugs?

Fu Rong couldn't believe it. He didn't even want to touch Concubine Xian, so how could he be so infatuated with Su Xiaoqian.

The other party must have added aphrodisiac into the tea while Zeng Rou was away.

Damn it, I must not let her go.

In order to clear himself of the charges, he did not want Zeng Rou to be disappointed in him.

Fu Rong said with a cold face, "If you really didn't drug me, I will give you a legitimate status, and I won't let you suffer in vain."

"But if the imperial physician confirms that you drugged me, I will kill all your clans!"

Zeng Rou on the side didn't say anything, but she obviously believed Fu Rong.

Hearing that the entire nine clans would be executed, Su Xiaoqian was so frightened that she trembled all over, and in Fu Rong's eyes, she seemed guilty.

"Why are you shaking? Are you feeling guilty? As long as you confess, I can spare your life."

Is this not scary?

I have indeed used some tricks to get to the top. If it is really discovered, my parents and brothers will all die.

But even the virtuous concubine is not afraid, so why should I be afraid?

Why give up until the last moment?

Su Xiaoqian wailed sadly with tears in her eyes.

"I am just sad. Your Majesty just said sweet words to me, but now you suspect me of having ulterior motives."

"I have admired Your Majesty since I entered the palace, but now my infatuation has been met with suspicion. It is really sad."

She said it so sincerely just to dispel Empress Dowager Xu's suspicion.

But Fu Rong's face looked extremely ugly after hearing this.

He glared at Su Xiaoqian angrily.

"Bad maid."

Empress Dowager Xu frowned slightly, "Emperor, why are you so irritable now? Wait for the imperial physician to come and check it out, and the matter will be settled naturally."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Ah Zhi watched the show leisurely until Doctor Zhou came with the young eunuch.

It turned out to be the Doctor Zhou in memory, the man who had a secret crush on Zeng Rou.

Whenever Zeng Rou felt unwell, she would ask someone to invite Doctor Zhou, or go to the Imperial Hospital and secretly let Doctor Zhou treat her.

At that time, Doctor Zhou wanted to marry Zeng Rou, but Zeng Rou refused for Fu Rong.

In fact, he already knew the relationship between Zeng Rou and Fu Rong.

He also reminded Zeng Rou not to get too involved.

Emperors have always been sentimental, how could they give you a cup of water?

But Zeng Rou didn't listen at all.

Ah Zhi whispered a few words to Cui Zhu who was standing beside him. While the attention was on Doctor Zhou, Cui Zhu quietly left the Yangxin Palace with her body hunched over.

When Doctor Zhou saw Zeng Rou kneeling on the ground, he was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and knelt down quickly.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty and the Queen Mother."

"Get up, Doctor Zhou, check His Majesty's body and the tea that Su Xiaoqian brought in just now to see if there is any aphrodisiac in it."

Doctor Zhou had already heard about it on the way here.

Su Xiaoqian and Fu Rong were together. Empress Dowager Xu knew that she wanted to give her a legitimate status, but Fu Rong disagreed and asked to check whether the other party had drugged her.

Now looking at the scene in front of her, Zeng Rou knelt on the ground with red eyes, looking as if she had been wronged.

His heart suddenly twisted.

Forget it, I'll help her one more time.

"Yes, Wei Chen understands."

Nanny Chen took him in for a checkup. Everything was clean, there was no unclean smell in the air, and even Fu Rong looked healthy.

At the beginning, Doctor Zhou still held on to his luck.

As long as I find out something myself, I won’t have to take any risks.

But now that it was clean, he was so anxious that sweat began to appear on his forehead.
