"Do you think I'm admitting my guilt? What about you? How do you know that the emperor's illness is related to me?"

Looking at her expression, do I feel that she is panicking and losing her composure?

The Queen Mother looked at this woman coldly. She was so self-righteous and thought she was the only smart person in the world.

That’s because…

Su Rong was about to speak.

But suddenly I realized that the logic here didn't make sense.

You can't say that it was actually me who kidnapped Jing'an and her, right? So she knew all this?

But she couldn't say these things, so how did she know that it was the Queen Mother who did it?

That letter...

But she clearly framed Shen Zhishu with the letter, so she couldn't do that.

So just as she said just now, even if Ashe saw that the emperor was poisoned, she only knew that the emperor was poisoned by someone. How could it be related to the empress dowager?

And now she comes here for no reason, isn't that just confessing herself?

So she was just being clever?

Su Rong realized later that she had made a big mistake.

"I don't know. I came here to tell you this secretly and ask you to make the decision. But I didn't expect..."

"Okay, what on earth do you want to say here?"

Seeing that she couldn't explain herself, the Queen Mother interrupted her impatiently.

Big misunderstanding.

Su Rong's smile froze.

"No matter why you believe it was me, I came here today to talk about what happened that day. It seems that Concubine Xian knew that there was something else behind the illness of the Emperor. That day..."

She described what happened in detail.

Anyway, she was the one who invited the imperial physician to see the retired emperor.

"You said she knew the inside story?"

After the Queen Mother listened quietly, her expression became intriguing.

"I am just guessing. If Ah She hadn't said that the emperor was poisoned, I wouldn't have suspected her. How could it be such a coincidence? She had been in the palace for so long and had never gone to see the emperor, but she went after you were kidnapped."

Anyway, Su Rong meant that she knew everything and she was the mastermind behind the hijacking of the letter.

"If someone else really holds such a strong handle on my mother, I don't know how I will be blackmailed in the future."

If she didn't say anything, Su Rong would help her analyze the interests involved.

"Have you forgotten that you are now also an insider? Is the Queen reminding me?"

But the Queen Mother was impatient to listen to her.

Even if she was right, she just didn't like Su Rong from the bottom of her heart.

"I came to you to obey your orders. As for the emperor, it's just that his old illness can be cured. There will be no unnecessary rumors. I still hope to be your most satisfactory daughter-in-law."

Su Rong said that she was not an enemy.

But when the Queen Mother heard these words, she was shocked and looked at her in surprise, as if saying, is this still the Su Rong she knew?

"You make me happy?"

She felt like she had just heard a joke.

"Before, I was ignorant and didn't know the ways of the world..."

Su Rong looked sincere.

Even Nanny Su beside her was listening very attentively.

But the way they looked at her seemed to be looking for flaws in her lies.

Who would believe such nonsense?

"What the Queen said is serious. I have never really had a grudge against the Queen."

After a long time, she replied.

As soon as Su Rong heard this, she knew that the Queen Mother was just trying to please her, and her brows couldn't help but frown.

She said this so sincerely, why didn't she believe it?

Can't she see it?

"It seems that the Queen Mother really doesn't like me."

Although she was angry, she had to endure it in order to deal with Shen Zhishu.

"But it doesn't matter. There is a long way to go. You will eventually know who will help you and be good to you."

Su Rong continued.

Then he started talking about the emperor.

Even if Ashe said he could cure the emperor, it would take a long time, and even if he was cured, his body would be weak.

After talking for a while, the Queen Mother did not express her opinion, nor did she even ask any questions about the Emperor.

"Didn't the emperor put you under house arrest and forbid you to come to the Cining Palace again? You have been here long enough now. Go back quickly to avoid being held accountable by the emperor."

Then he chased Su Rong away.

When this matter was mentioned, Su Rong's face changed slightly.

"If the Queen Mother is willing to see me, the Emperor naturally cannot say anything."

"Okay, if the Queen Mother wants to see you in the future, please ask Madam Du to tell her."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded.

So doesn’t that mean that if Nanny Du didn’t go, you wouldn’t have to come over?

Su Rong's expression changed slightly.

But in the end he didn't say anything else, just got up and left.

"Why do you think she did that?"

Wait until people leave.

The Queen Mother stopped her fake smile and asked in a very serious tone.

"The Queen's target has always been very clear, and it's all Consort Xian. She wants to deal with Consort Xian, but she can't do anything about it. Now she's here to win you over."

This is not difficult to guess, as Madam Du looked calm.

"Maybe she also sees you as a thorn in her side, but compared to Concubine Xian, her hostility towards you is nothing. She wants to get rid of Concubine Xian first, and then slowly deal with you. Anyway, she has something on you, so you can't escape."

The Queen Mother nodded as she listened.

"You have made a very clever calculation. So, who should I support?"

Madam Du thought for a moment.

"Wonderful Concubine."

"But if she really knows about that, when she moves to Queen, won't I be her target?"

"Not necessarily. From the beginning, you and Concubine Xian had no conflict of interest. Even if she knew about it, it has been so long, and nothing has happened, right? Even if you can't see through Concubine Xian's character, I think she is much smarter than the Queen."

Nanny Du analyzed calmly.

"In this palace, only smart people can live longer."

She didn't say how good the virtuous concubine was.

But considering the interests of the Queen Mother, if we have to choose an ally, it must be Consort Xian.

"But with the Queen's personality, if she knew that I chose the Virtuous Consort, she would definitely not let me go."

Her poisoning will be made known to the world.

So this time the Queen came here, not only to show her goodwill, but also as a threat.

"That may not be the case. Have you forgotten that the current emperor is your adopted son, and Concubine Xian is the sworn enemy of the queen? If you openly stand on Concubine Xian's side, and she exposes you just to deal with Concubine Xian, how many people will believe it?"

"Let's take a step back. Where is the evidence? Is there any evidence?"

Nanny Du said calmly.

"The only variable is Jing'an."

Speaking of evidence, the only person in the world who knows the inside story of that year is Jing'an.

"The third princess is still in the hands of the emperor."

Regarding this variable, Nanny Du was silent for a moment.

"We have many people in the palace. Let's find a way to make her shut up forever."

"But the emperor is surrounded by his trusted followers."

"Didn't you ask me to choose a virtuous concubine? Why not use this matter to test her? If it works, I will spare no effort to help her consolidate her favor and deal with the queen in the future."
