After hearing what he said, Concubine Qi Hui knelt down in front of Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, I have no idea what he is talking about. I am being wronged."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and glared at Xiao Kangzi fiercely, her eyes full of threats: "I don't even know you. If you continue to talk nonsense, be careful that your family will lose their heads because of what you said."

Seeing the threat in her eyes, Xiao Kangzi gritted his teeth, rushed forward and snatched the bracelet from her hand, and told her everything that Concubine Qi Hui had done.

"Your Majesty, this is my sister's bracelet. My sister and I are both in Huifei's palace. After Concubine Rou entered the palace, Huifei saw her stunning beauty and was afraid that she would be the most favored in the harem, so she instigated Shufei, now known as Shupin, to push her into the palace."

"Later, when Concubine Hui saw that Concubine Rou was indeed favored, she arranged for me to be among the people you sent to Xiaoyuexuan to serve, and threatened me with my sister's life, so that I could monitor Concubine Rou."

"Today's incident was also set up by Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi after they learned from me that Concubine Rou might be pregnant. It was just that Concubine Yi accidentally burned too much aphrodisiac incense, which led to her and the servant being the ones inside."

After saying this, Xiao Kangzi kowtowed to Emperor Wu Ren repeatedly: "Your Majesty, my death is not a pity, but my family is innocent. I beg you to have mercy and spare my family. I kowtow to you."

He didn't care about anything at this moment. As long as he could protect his family, he would do it even if it cost him his life.

Hua Shu covered her mouth and looked at Concubine Qi Hui and Concubine Yi in disbelief: "Why, why, Concubine Yi, haven't you always been like a sister to me? Why are you trying to hurt me like this?"

"My Lady Huifei, I have never offended you. Why are you afraid of me and why do you use such a method..."

Concubine Li Shu also looked at Concubine Qi Hui with an angry face: "I was wondering why you suddenly invited me to appreciate the flowers and said some nonsense to me. You wanted to use me to get rid of Concubine Rou. You really have a vicious heart."

In fact, she had never doubted Concubine Qi Hui, but after hearing what the little eunuch said, even if she was stupid, she could figure it out that it was Qi Hui who wanted to use her to get rid of Hua Shu.

Concubine Qi Hui's face was frighteningly pale, and she didn't care about Hua Shu and Concubine Yi at this moment.

She knelt before Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. What happened today has nothing to do with me."

Chu Yunxiao also knelt before Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Father, my mother has always been kind and even the palace people were reluctant to punish her. How could she do such a thing? Someone must have wanted to harm her. You must give my mother a fair fight..."

"Enough!" Emperor Wu Ren interrupted him angrily. He looked at Concubine Qi Hui coldly and asked, "Did you participate in today's incident?"

Concubine Qi Hui's hands were covered with cold sweat. She gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen asked Concubine Yi to find me today. I didn't know that Concubine Rou was pregnant. I only knew that Concubine Yi wanted to drug Concubine Rou and accuse her of having an affair with someone else."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Emperor Wu Ren with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I only know about the Queen's plan, but I did not participate in it."

Now she can only take a gamble that Concubine Yi will acknowledge the matter in order to protect the Queen.

After hearing her words, Emperor Wu Ren looked at Empress Liu with an unpleasant expression. Now that the Empress was involved, he had to handle the matter carefully.

Empress Liu glanced at Concubine Qi Hui calmly, then calmly stepped forward and knelt before Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui said that I have never heard of these things, and I did not ask Concubine Yi to help her harm Concubine Rou. In order to prove my innocence, I am willing to accept the torture."

"Mother." The prince's face changed, and he knelt beside her and said, "Father, you know what kind of person mother is. She would never do such a thing. I beg you to investigate and clear mother's name."

In fact, he also wanted to speak for Concubine Yi, but he held back. If he spoke for her at this time, it would not only fail to help her, but would also harm her.

Seeing the prince's frighteningly ugly expression, Yipin gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, what happened today was done by me alone. I used the Empress's name to find Concubine Hui to murder Concubine Rou. It has nothing to do with the Empress."

When Hua Shu saw that Concubine Yi admitted to the matter, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She knew that the prince was just using her, but she was still devoted to him and was willing to protect him with her life.

Concubine Yi is really stupid.

Concubine Li Shufei did not expect that Concubine Yi would admit to the matter, but her purpose today was to drag Empress Liu into the water, and she was about to say something.

Hua Shu guessed what she was thinking and shook her head gently at her. If she spoke at this moment, the emperor would surely suspect her, and then the gain would outweigh the loss.

Concubine Li Shu quickly understood what she meant. Although she was very unwilling, she still kept her mouth shut.

Although she couldn't drag Empress Liu into this, she knew that Concubine Yi was finished today.

Chu Hengzhi watched this scene, and he became more and more curious about how Hua Shu convinced Concubine Li Shu.

When the Crown Prince saw that Concubine Yi admitted the matter, his face changed and he wanted to say something, but Empress Liu secretly grabbed his wrist.

Someone must take responsibility for this matter. If Concubine Yi does not take responsibility, Concubine Qi Hui will definitely say something unfavorable to them, so they can only abandon Concubine Yi.

The prince understood what his mother meant, but he just couldn't really give up Concubine Yi.

Emperor Wu Ren remained silent, staring at Empress Liu with sharp eyes. He had grown up in this kind of environment since he was a child, so how could he not see that today's events were related to Empress Liu.

But she is the queen of a country, the biological mother of the prince, and his first wife.

Therefore, he could not let this matter involve her in any way.

Hua Shu had been with Emperor Wu Ren for two lifetimes, and she could tell at a glance that he was trying to get rid of Empress Liu.

Her original intention today was not to target Empress Liu, but to get rid of Concubine Yi, Empress Liu's right-hand man.

Now the time has come and it's time to end this drama.

After thinking about it, she covered her stomach and cried out in pain: "Your Majesty, my stomach hurts so much. Please save my child."

Before she finished her words, she closed her eyes and fell into Caiyue's arms.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Wu Ren quickly asked Imperial Physician He to take Hua Shu's pulse.

Doctor He responded and hurried forward to feel Hua Shu's pulse, and soon came to a conclusion.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou has moved. You need to give her acupuncture and abortion medicine as soon as possible. If it's too late, she may not be able to be saved."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren said in a deep voice: "Follow me to Xiaoyuexuan, Doctor Wu, you go to the Imperial Hospital to boil medicine."

After saying this, he personally stepped forward and picked up Hua Shu, saying something that made Empress Liu, Qi Hui and others turn pale.
