I thought that since Azhi was a woman and the only concubine in the palace, she would definitely not want anyone to compete with her.

This is why Fu Rong threw the question to her.

But the other party's answer was like a muffled punch, which made Fu Rong's face turn pale and he was speechless.

Fu Rong even felt that Azhi was against her.

Obviously I have already said this.

Why doesn’t the other party understand?

Fu Rong gnashed her teeth and asked, "Xian Fei, if I make her a concubine, will it be of any benefit to you?"

Of course there are benefits.

Zeng Rou will definitely be pissed to death.

I, the virtuous concubine, am just a decoration, but Su Xiaoqian, who has slept with him before, is the legitimate concubine.

But these words cannot be said directly.

Ahzhi held a handkerchief in her hand, her face was as white as jade, and her clear and clean eyes showed innocence.

"Your Majesty, Su Xiaoqian is already married to you. If you are unwilling to take responsibility, don't you want to force her to death?"

In today's world, if a woman loses her virginity, she can actually force the man to death.

If Su Xiaoqian was driven out of the palace, she would be doomed in the future.

Who would dare to marry a woman the emperor has touched?

Empress Dowager Xu stared at Azhi with strange eyes.

I just feel that Concubine Xian is too content with the status quo.

Now I don’t care, but if Su Xiaoqian is made a concubine, I will be so panicked.

Empress Dowager Xu really didn't believe it.

Can women who enter the palace really avoid fighting and competing?

It's just that the fighting spirit hasn't been aroused yet.

Ah Zhi's eyes fell on Doctor Zhou, with a half-smile in her eyes. She asked Queen Mother Xu in confusion, "Queen Mother, it seems that Doctor Zhou's medical skills are not very good?"

"I heard that he has been in the palace for ten years. How could he have made a mistake in checking such a small matter?"

Doctor Zhou no longer had the confidence he had just now. He could only kneel on the ground with sweat pouring down his forehead, trembling to try to reduce his presence.

But Azhi was not prepared to let him go, because Doctor Zhou was Zeng Rou's helper in the harem.

Kill him.

That is to cut off Zeng Rou's left and right arms.

After being reminded, Empress Dowager Xu looked at Doctor Zhou with sharp eyes as if she could see through him.

"Doctor Zhou, I want to hear what you have to say about this matter."

If Azhi hadn't asked the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau to come, wouldn't Su Xiaoqian have been sentenced to death?

Doctor Zhou didn't dare to tell the truth. He knelt on his knees with his forehead pressed against the ground.

"I failed to notice this."

"Oversight?"

Ah Zhi shook his head and sighed, "As the imperial physician of the palace, you could have easily made a mistake. How can we trust you?"

"What's more, Su Xiaoqian and His Majesty were in love with each other, and she almost lost her life because of you. What exactly do you want to do?"

Every word hits the nail on the head.

This made Doctor Zhou kneel on the ground, unable to refute.

Zeng Rou looked at Azhi's aggressiveness and thought that Doctor Zhou was doing this for her.

Doctor Zhou has helped me a lot over the years.

How could I watch him being forced into a desperate situation?

She broke free and climbed forward to plead for him.

"Empress Xianfei, no one is perfect. Doctor Zhou is also a human being, how could he not make mistakes? Now the mistake has been corrected."

"Since he has served in the palace for so many years, please forgive him this time."

Originally, Empress Dowager Xu did not want to investigate further and just wanted to demote Imperial Physician Zhou out of the palace.

This matter is not a big deal or a small one, not to mention that the other party did save his life.

But I didn't expect Zeng Rou to jump out.

Watching her begging desperately.

Queen Mother Xu curled her lips and asked, "Why are you begging for him?"

Zeng Rou was slightly stunned and replied, "Because Doctor Zhou is a good man, the Queen Mother cannot kill a good man by mistake."

“Do good people lie?”

"If it involves a life, would a good person make a conclusion so easily?"

Fu Rong knew before that Doctor Zhou liked Zeng Rou, and the two of them had a mutual admiration and affection.

Above friendship, below love, a good friend in between.

He was unwilling to plead for Doctor Zhou. It didn't matter if the other party died, as long as Zeng Rou was fine.

But when he saw Zeng Rou pleading for Doctor Zhou, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Zeng Rou and Doctor Zhou looked at each other and saw sadness in each other's eyes.

Ah Zhi couldn't help but exclaimed, "It turns out that Aunt Zeng Rou and Imperial Doctor Zhou have a deep friendship. No wonder Aunt Zeng Rou would risk her life to plead for Imperial Doctor Zhou."

"Doctor Zhou already has a wife, doesn't he? I heard that the child is already two years old. Could it be that Aunt Zeng Rou wants to take him as a concubine?"

"My Lady, you cannot slander me!"

When Zeng Rou heard that Ah Zhi suspected that she had an affair with Doctor Zhou, her face changed drastically.

She knew Fu Rong's character very well and knew that she had a very strong possessiveness.

If he were to arouse jealousy, Doctor Zhou would really be dead.

As expected, Fu Rong’s face turned black.

Because he had known for a long time that Doctor Zhou liked Zeng Rou, he even thought about killing Doctor Zhou.

It was only thanks to Zeng Rou's strenuous opposition and various attempts at appeasement that Fu Rong gave up on using Doctor Zhou as the surgeon.

But today, seeing Zeng Rou defending Doctor Zhou, his heart was filled with jealousy and he was afraid that Zeng Rou would be snatched away.

The other party is still infatuated with Zeng Rou and has been silently protecting her for ten years. The threat is too great.

He ignored Zeng Rou's pleading eyes, turned around and said to Queen Mother Xu, "Mother, Imperial Doctor Zhou's medical skills were poor and he neglected his duty. He almost killed Su Xiaoqian. Please deal with him according to the law."

Unexpectedly, Fu Rong followed suit and added insult to injury. Zeng Rou collapsed to her knees and sat on the ground.

If even Fu Rong doesn't help to plead for mercy, Doctor Zhou would have issued a death ultimatum.

Empress Dowager Xu looked at Fu Rong with some surprise.

I didn't expect that my son would actually go against Zeng Rou.

"Doctor Zhou, do you have anything else to say? Why do you want to say that something is real?"

Thinking of his wife and children at home, Doctor Zhou trembled all over, but in the end he still looked at Zeng Rou.

I can't protect you anymore, Arou.

"I have failed in my duty, and I ask the Queen Mother to punish me."

"Well, I will give you a cup of poisoned wine. Considering your contribution to the royal family, I will allow you to keep your body intact."

Zeng Rou, who was standing by, had tears in her eyes. She wanted to plead for mercy but couldn't make a sound. She could only watch Doctor Zhou being dragged away.

"The matter has been settled. Su Xiaoqian will be named Concubine Su. The canonization ceremony will be held in seven days. The Yangxin Palace will be managed by General Manager Li. I am tired, Concubine Xian, please accompany me as I leave."

After leaving the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Azhi gently supported Empress Dowager Xu as they walked along the palace path.

At this time, Empress Dowager Xu asked with deep eyes, "Xianfei, what do you think of the relationship between the emperor and Zeng Rou?"

It seems that Empress Dowager Xu has noticed something.

Ah Zhi replied obediently, "I think your majesty listens to Aunt Zeng Rou very much, so the relationship between the two must be very good."

"Very obedient, yes, he is indeed very obedient, but today the emperor acted out of character. I am really curious why the emperor is not obedient."

She fiddled with the glass beads quickly and felt that she was very close to the truth.
