The abandoned concubine is charming and charming, and the sickly prince breaks his waist

When Empress Liu heard the question he asked, she was shocked. Could it be that Hua Shu told the emperor that she was the crown prince and that Hua Huaiyuan had arranged for her to enter the palace?

But despite this, she still pretended to be surprised and asked, "Princess Rou was given a sterilizing drug. When did this happen?"

Emperor Wu Ren looked at her, trying to see something from her face, but he could see nothing.

He retracted his gaze and said, "On the second day after she fell into the water, when the maidservant beside her came to ask you to let the imperial physician treat her, two eunuchs gave her a sterilizing drug."

After hearing this, Empress Liu's eyes flashed with cruelty. Hua Shu was truly a very scheming person.

She actually said that the time of administering the sterilizing drug was after she fell into the water. Her purpose must be to make the emperor suspect her.

But seeing Emperor Wu Ren questioning her for her, Empress Liu still felt uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, why do you suspect that I did it? Am I so unbearable in your heart?"

There was a hint of sadness in her voice, which made Emperor Wu Ren regret asking her.

But his intuition told him that this matter was related to her, including Shupin's false pregnancy and what happened last night.

Emperor Wu Ren raised his head, and when he met her tearful eyes, his heart softened, but he still retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice:

"No matter who did it, I don't want it to happen again."

He decided to give Empress Liu some face and not investigate the matter further.

Empress Liu clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, her nails digging deep into her flesh. She was not angry that Emperor Wu Ren cared about Hua Shu, but because he warned her, the empress, for the sake of a woman.

But she still smiled on the surface and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will never let such a thing happen again."

After that, she picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Emperor Wu Ren, saying, "Your Majesty, this is what you like to eat, please try it."

Wu Ren did not take it. He stood up and said, "I still have things to deal with. You can eat by yourself."

After saying this, he walked out.

It is undeniable that he had feelings for Empress Liu in his heart, but after living with her for so many years, he would eventually feel tired of her.

In addition, now that he has Hua Shu and she is pregnant, his heart will naturally shift to the other side.

Another reason is that during this period of time, both the prince and the queen have done too many things that have displeased him, and he did this as a warning to them.

"Your Majesty, your concubine respectfully bids you farewell." Empress Liu bowed to him, and only when his figure disappeared at the gate of Chonghua Palace did she look away and slam the plate of pastries to the ground.

"Now in his heart, I am not as good as Hua Shu."

Nanny Zhang's face changed and she said, "Your Highness, be careful with your words."

Empress Liu did not speak, and it took her a long time to calm down. She sat back on the stool with a frighteningly cold look in her eyes.

"Go call Yunxiang."

Nanny Zhang responded and went out, and soon came in with Concubine Yi, who had changed her name to Yunxiang.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Yi bowed to her.

Empress Liu nodded, asked Nanny Zhang to go out and watch, then called her over and said, "Xueqiong, we have to plan ahead of time."

Concubine Yi frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, can Xueqiong ask why the plan was suddenly brought forward?"

Empress Liu frowned and briefly told her what had just happened.

When Concubine Yi heard Hua Shu tell Emperor Wu Ren that she had been given a sterilizing drug, her expression changed.

Empress Liu didn't pay attention to her changed expression. Suddenly she remembered something and asked, "Xueqiong, I want to ask you, can someone who has been given a sterilizing drug still get pregnant?"

Yipin pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know about common infertility drugs, but I am sure that what Hua Shu drank will never lead to pregnancy."

Because she had taken that medicine before, and it was much stronger than other infertility drugs. If the dosage was not controlled properly, it could be life-threatening.

Moreover, from what the prince told her, Hua Shu was fed two bowls of medicine. Even if she had great medical skills, she would probably never get pregnant again in this lifetime.

Besides, given Wu Ren's current physical condition, he definitely cannot make her pregnant.

Thinking of this, a plan flashed through her mind, and then she looked at Empress Liu and said, "Your Majesty, since Hua Shu wants to fake pregnancy to win favor, why don't we take this opportunity to make sure she never gets a chance to turn things around."

Empress Liu frowned and asked, "Do you have any plans?"

Concubine Yi nodded and whispered something in her ear.

After hearing this, Empress Liu smiled and held her hand, saying, "It's a good thing that you are by my side."

Yipin smiled and asked the question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time: "Your Majesty, Xueqiong has something unclear. You and the emperor have been in love since you were young, and you have gone through so many ups and downs to get to where you are now. Why is the emperor's attitude towards you now not as good as that of Hua Shu, who has just entered the palace not long ago?"

Empress Liu laughed at her question and said, "It is true that young people have deep feelings and have experienced ups and downs, but over time, even the deepest feelings will fade, and even the most beloved people will get tired of them. Moreover, he is the emperor and has three thousand beauties in his harem. How can he still remember the love he had when he was young?"

In fact, Empress Liu never thought that she was the only one by his side and in his heart.

What she wanted was for him to give her enough respect and at the very least come to her palace three times a month, even if he did nothing but just talk to her.

It’s a pity that he eventually forgot the path they had walked together.

Since he is so ruthless, she should also make plans for herself and the prince.

Emperor Wu Ren was attracted to her when he was young, and when he saw her when she was young again when he was older, it naturally brought back memories of his youth, so he let Concubine Yi approach him with a face similar to hers.

After hearing her words, Yipin's eyes flashed with complicated emotions, and then she said, "Don't worry, your majesty, Xueqiong will never let you down this time."

Empress Liu nodded, and told her some of the things she liked to do when she was young before letting her leave.

After Concubine Yi left Chonghua Palace, she headed straight in one direction.

……

Chuxiu Palace.

After He Zhong put the things away, he left with his people. Hua Shu and Li Shu walked in.

Looking at the magnificently decorated Chuxiu Palace, a hint of jealousy flashed in Concubine Li Shu's eyes.

When she was at the peak of her favor, she once told the emperor that she wanted to move to Chuxiu Palace, but he refused on the grounds that it was in disrepair.

But now he gave it to Hua Shu, who had just entered the palace for less than half a year. When you think about it carefully, it is really ironic.

Hua Shu didn't miss the look on her face, but she said nothing and asked Cai Yue to serve tea.

After the two of them sat down, Concubine Li Shu directly asked Hua Shu to call everyone out, as she had something to say to her.

Out of curiosity, Hua Shu asked Rendong and Xiao Shengzi to take their people away.

After the door was closed, Hua Shu couldn't help but ask, "What did Sister Shupin want to say to me?"

Concubine Li Shu raised her head, looked at her and said word by word: "If I'm not mistaken, the child in your belly is Chu Hengzhi's."
