Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode

Sang'er waved her hands hurriedly: "I didn't do that! I am innocent!"

"It's the medicine that Sang'er gave me!" When the nurse saw Sang'er denying it, she immediately spoke up and turned to look at Sang'er, "Miss Sang'er, you can't just throw it away after using it! I have done everything you asked me to do. Now that you see the truth, are you going to distance yourself from it?"

Sonny's eyes widened as he met the nurse's gaze. His eyes were filled with fear, and his voice rose unconsciously: "What are you talking about? When did I ever ask you to do anything?!"

The nurse was not to be outdone and turned to the queen. As long as the queen believed her, it didn't matter what Sang'er said: "Your Majesty, I have done something wrong. I dare not say anything more. I only ask Your Majesty to spare my life for the sake of my confession!"

"Xia Dongchun!" Noble Lady Fucha saw that the fire was burning on her, and she stood up and rushed to Xia Dongchun. "It's you! You must have deliberately framed me, right?! I never asked Sang'er to do these things!"

Yin Zhu hurried forward to separate the two people and said, "Lady Fucha, you are pregnant, so you should be careful. It doesn't matter if you fall down, but don't blame our young master."

Noble Lady Fucha was already angry, and when she heard this, her face turned blue with anger, and she raised her hand to hit Yin Zhu.

"That's enough!" The Queen scolded Noble Lady Fucha, "I am still sitting here, and you are pregnant, don't you know how to behave?"

Noble Lady Fucha was scolded and looked at the Queen with some grievance. She took two steps back and moved a little further away from Xia Dongchun.

"Empress..." Noble Lady Fucha pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Of course I believe that you didn't order anyone to do such a vicious thing." As soon as the Queen said the first half of the sentence, hope ignited in Noble Lady Fucha's eyes, but this hope was wiped out by the Queen's next sentence, "But now the evidence is irrefutable, and I can't cover up for you. Do you know that sometimes the servants will do things behind their masters' backs?"

The Queen's words were obviously hinting at Noble Lady Fucha. As long as Noble Lady Fucha wanted to clear herself, she would definitely understand what the Queen meant.

Sure enough, after being stunned for a moment, Noble Lady Fucha realized what the Queen meant. She turned her head in a daze to meet Sang'er's anxious gaze, moved her lips twice, and was still a little hesitant.

After all, Sang'er was the one she brought from home, who had been serving her since he was a child and was the most capable person around her.

but……

If she had to save Sang'er now, she would also be implicated. Although she was pregnant now, the emperor and the queen would definitely not punish her, but after the child was born, she would definitely not be able to raise him by her side, and becoming a concubine would become a mirage...

Noble Lady Fucha didn't say anything, and the Queen wasn't in a hurry either. She knew that Noble Lady Fucha would definitely make the choice she had imagined in the end.

Xia Dongchun was no longer in a hurry. She now vaguely saw the problem. Judging from Noble Lady Fucha's reaction, either she really didn't do it, or Noble Lady Fucha was now a top-notch actress.

It’s just… Xia Dongchun glanced at the queen who was sitting high on the throne, calm and composed, and had a guess in his mind.

The Queen... Yun Ling was right, she was the most hypocritical person in the palace!

Finally, half a cup of tea had passed, and Noble Lady Fucha gritted her teeth, tears in her eyes, and turned to Sang'er: "You ignorant slave! You are so bold that you dare to murder the princess!"

Sang'er had been looking forward to it for a long time, but he didn't expect to hear such a sentence. He was dumbfounded and said in disbelief: "Young Master..."

Noble Lady Fucha couldn't bear to look at her expression any longer and turned her face away.

"The maid Sang'er ordered someone to give the princess drugs that caused her to have a fever. She deserves death. Now we have the witnesses and evidence. Jiang Fuhai, pass on my decree and she can be beaten to death!"

Hearing that the sentence was to be caned to death, Noble Lady Fucha quickly pleaded for mercy: "Empress, I know that Sang'er...she plotted to murder the princess, which is a capital crime, but she has been with me for so long, and I am pregnant now, I am afraid it is not appropriate for her to see blood, so why not send her to the Ministry of Punishment to be punished."

Xia Dongchun now understood that Noble Lady Fucha was probably the one being plotted against, so he did not insist that Sang'er die. However, the wet nurse... could not be allowed to live.

The Queen had no objection: "Then send them to the Ministry of Punishment together with the wet nurse. Without the Emperor's and my order, no one is allowed to transfer them out of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Yes... Thank you, Her Majesty, for your grace." Noble Lady Fucha said.

Seeing that the matter was already a foregone conclusion, Sang'er knew that it would be useless to beg for mercy any more. However, she was so wronged to be made a scapegoat without knowing it that she burst into tears when she was dragged out.

"Your Highness, you handled this matter impartially. I am very grateful to you." Xia Dongchun saw that the matter had been dealt with. She was still worried about her daughter, so she took her leave. "I will go back to see the princess first. I will come back to talk to your Highness another day."

The Queen nodded and said, "You can go. It's a pity that Ling Yuan is such a small person, and she has to suffer such a crime. I really can't bear it. Later, I will ask Jian Qiu to send a pair of Hetian jade Ruyi for Ling Yuan to sleep on."

"I thank the queen on behalf of the princess." Xia Dongchun thanked her again and took Yinzhu and Xiao Dezi back to the Yanxi Palace.

The Queen looked at Noble Lady Fucha who stayed behind and sighed, "You are too careless. A subordinate made such a mistake, and you only found out about it when it came to me. How can this be acceptable?"

Noblewoman Fucha said subconsciously: "Empress, Sang'er is really wronged..."

"Whether she was wronged or really did it, it's over at the end of the day." The Queen said earnestly, "Murdering the princess is a capital crime. Lady Zhao was able to save her life out of my favor. If she hadn't come to me first and I had stopped her, she would have reported it to the Emperor. The Emperor loves Ling Yuan so much, and I'm afraid you would be implicated by then."

Noble Lady Fucha nodded aggrievedly: "I understand."

"How about this, since you have lost a capable person like Sang'er, I just happened to have a new batch of palace maids assigned to me. There is one called Bai Yu, and I find her quite useful. I will assign her to you." The queen seemed to feel sorry for her. "There are not many concubines of the Manchu military flag in this palace. The most popular ones are those of the Han military flag. I will feel more friendly when I see you."

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I should do." Noble Lady Fucha wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her tone grateful.

"Well, you are pregnant, you can't be so sad." The queen smiled virtuously and dignifiedly, raised her hand and asked someone to come in, "Look quickly, this is Bai Yu, see if you like her or not. If you don't like her, I will ask the few maids who were just transferred to come in and let you choose."

"People who come out of the Empress' palace are naturally the best." Noble Fucha was deeply moved.
