After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

Jin Chu couldn't bear to see this situation, so he whispered to Yu Cheng to find the court doctor.

Zhang was in pain all over at this time, but what made her even more heartbroken was the blood that kept flowing from her body and the heartlessness of the hypocritical man in front of her.

At the beginning, she just served the eldest lady obediently. It was he who tried to seduce her again and again, using both soft and hard tactics, and finally got her body. After she became pregnant, she was even more devoted to him, and she did whatever he said and never disobeyed him.

Now that the truth has been revealed, he is actually planning to destroy both her and her son's lives, and wants her to bear all the bad reputation for him before she dies.

She has nothing now, so what is she afraid of?

Thinking of this, Zhang took two breaths and sneered, "I, Zhang Xiuzhi, did something wrong today, I admit it! But you, a beast in human form, don't even think about getting away with it!"

"You bitch!" Su Chenghe saw the ruthlessness that flashed across Zhang's eyes and was immediately shocked. He was about to kick and hit her again, but was stopped by the old woman beside him.

"Master, are you so angry that you're ready to kill someone to silence them?"

Zhang smiled contemptuously, turned to Prince Dingbei and Princess Du, and said resolutely, "I have done evil, and now I have lost my mother and son's lives, which is what I deserve. But the poison was indeed given to me by my master. I can only blame God for not letting the Crown Princess eat the hawthorn. Instead, it harmed the young lady. I feel so sorry for the young lady."

She pointed at Su Chenghe, "But the one who is even more sorry to the young lady is her own father, who is worse than an animal! You said that the child in my belly is someone else's bastard!"

She turned to Chen Yuehua again, "Master said he never touched my body. So, I want to tell you, Madam, that Master has a black birthmark the size of a fingernail an inch below his left breast, and three red moles on his right thigh. Did Madam also tell me these?"

Chen Yuehua suddenly looked at Su Chenghe and cursed him word by word: "What a coward! You are worse than a beast!"

"Yuehua, don't believe her one-sided words!" Su Chenghe shouted loudly.

"Bah! That's just one side of the story. Are you telling me that you personally told her all these private details about yourself?"

Chen Yuehua was so heartbroken that she didn't even want to look at Su Chenghe anymore. "For five years, I've been so obedient to you, treating you like my heaven. But I ended up marrying such a despicable person!"

"Is it my fault? After five years of marriage, you've only given birth to a girl, and you're no longer happy. My second brother's wife has only been married for a year, and she's about to give birth to our eldest son and grandson! In comparison, are you worthy of me? Even if I took in a few concubines, what would happen? I'm the dignified master of the Dingbei Palace. If my wife can't give birth, can't I take in a few concubines?"

"If you were taking a concubine honestly, I wouldn't stop you even if I didn't like it. But what kind of person are you? You wouldn't take any of the other women, but you insisted on sleeping with your own daughter's wet nurse. It's one thing you have no sense of propriety, but you don't even dare to admit that Zhang is pregnant with your child. Are you even human?"

"You poisoned your second brother's wife, and when something went wrong, you let your own daughter take the blame for you! If your daughter couldn't take the blame, you found someone else to take it. She was pregnant with your child, and you still had the guts to do that. Su Chenghe, I've never seen such a heartless person!"

Su Chenghe gritted his teeth and cursed, "If you weren't unable to give birth and had lied to me, why would I have found someone else to bear the child?"

"My body was damaged when I gave birth to Ying'er. It's not that I can't have children again, but I just need a few years of recuperation. Now I have almost recovered, and you and I are both young, so we have plenty of opportunities and time to have more children. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry. Is this a big mistake?" Chen Yuehua complained with a look of grievance.

"Then you shouldn't have hidden this from me. I'm the eldest son in the mansion, and by rights, I should have given birth to the eldest grandson. But you've been so reluctant, and I'm naturally worried. Otherwise, why would I have been deceived by Zhang? I touched another woman, and I'm sorry for you. I was wrong. But the poisoning was indeed done by Zhang alone. I really didn't know about it, Yuehua, you have to believe me on this."

Between two evils, he chose the lesser one. The fact that Zhang had an affair with him could no longer be concealed, so Su Chenghe simply admitted it quickly, but he was determined not to admit to the poisoning.

Zhang listened to Su Chenghe still quibbling and putting all the blame on herself for the poisoning. She stroked her already deflated belly and tried to force a bitter smile.

Before today, she was full of hope in imagining what her future child would look like, but now, it's all in vain!

Anything obtained through unethical means must be returned sooner or later, no, it must be returned double.

Growing colder and colder, Zhang blinked her eyes and said slowly, "I, Zhang Xiuzhi, harbored evil intentions and did something wrong. Fortunately, Heaven has mercy on us and prevented any disaster. Master, haven't you been saying that the poisoning was solely the work of this servant?"

She turned towards Princess Du and said, "The poison was given to Master by Concubine Wang, who then gave it to me and told me to put it in the first hawthorn in the candied hawthorn string. Master specifically told me not to eat the first hawthorn, as he wanted the Crown Princess to eat it first."

There was even the matter of Concubine Wang. Princess Du and Jin Chu looked at each other, then looked at Prince Dingbei, their eyes clearly saying, "Look at what your good Concubine Wang has done."

King Dingbei's face was gloomy and he was furious.

"Bitch, you still want to quibble!" Su Chenghe scolded harshly.

"Shut up!"

King Dingbei roared and glared at him fiercely. Su Chenghe could only shut his mouth helplessly, but his fists were clenched tightly. He only regretted that he had not kicked the little bitch Zhang to death!

Zhang coughed, her voice weaker. "That hawthorn was smeared with enough Aconitum to kill the Crown Prince's wife and three others. If the Prince or Princess suspects the young lady, then have her or a servant eat the remaining hawthorns that weren't smeared with poison, which would then prove Anheyuan's innocence."

"As the poisoned hawthorn was swallowed by the Crown Prince's Consort, it disappeared. Given the love that the Crown Prince and Princess have for her, if she died from the poison, you would definitely not allow anyone to harm her body. Therefore, there will be no evidence to prove this!"

"If anything happens to the Crown Prince's wife, our Crown Prince will definitely not let your Anheyuan off easily." Mother Wang said angrily.

"You're right! If anything were to happen to the Crown Prince's wife, the Princess and the Crown Prince would definitely investigate thoroughly. But the one who delivered the poison was the young girl, a mere three or four-year-old child. The Princess and the Crown Prince are both kind and upright people. Even if they were heartbroken, they would never harm the young girl and take the life of such an ignorant child."

"But the Crown Prince must find the real mastermind behind the poisoning to avenge the Crown Princess! Therefore, I am ready to put the blame on the Madam!"

"The reason is that she has been married into the palace for many years, and besides having an older daughter, she has no sons. And the Crown Prince's wife, who has been in the palace for only a year, is pregnant with twins. The First Lady is jealous of the Crown Prince's wife, so she lost her mind and took the poisoned food and used the older daughter to poison the Crown Prince's wife!"

Chen Yuehua was shocked and exclaimed in surprise: "I didn't do anything, Su Chenghe, why do you still want to harm me?"

Zhang coughed again, panting and laughing, "Let me tell you, Madam, why did Master do this? It's because Master has always wanted the next generation of the palace's eldest grandson to be born, but Madam, your health is impaired and you've been infertile. You kept it a secret from Master and kept him under such strict watch. Especially after the Crown Prince's wife became pregnant with twins, he hated you to the core and wished you would die sooner so he could marry another wife and have another son!"

Su Chenghe could no longer hold back and shouted, "This is all just nonsense. I didn't even give you poison. How many people would believe these lies you made up?"

Just as Zhang was about to speak, the court doctor walked in quickly and Jinchu said, "Help her stop the bleeding first."

The court physician received the order and went to Zhang's side, but Zhang smiled and refused: "Thank you, Princess, for repaying evil with kindness. I almost killed you before, and now I have deserved it. I hope you can rest in peace before I die!"

Zhang's breath weakened, but her voice was filled with sarcasm. "You must have been so busy last night ordering me to poison you that you didn't even notice that the paper used to wrap the poison had a handwritten note from Aunt Wang."

Su Chenghe yelled, "Damn bitch, how dare you harm my mother and son like this!"

Zhang coughed again and spat out a mouthful of blood. She looked at Jin Chu and said, "Princess, the remaining poison is on the inner layer of the dressing box in my room. The outer layer is beige pine flower paper."

Jin Chu gestured to Yu Cheng, and they quickly headed towards Anhe Courtyard.

Supported by Madam Wang, Zhang knelt down in the direction of Jinchu. She kowtowed three times and said, "Prince's Consort, I have sinned. I dare not ask for your forgiveness. I only wish you the best in the future!"

Jin Chu felt something was wrong, but the next moment he saw Zhang suddenly slamming towards a pillar not far away. With a "bang", Zhang slowly fell down.

The court doctor hurried forward to check on the patient. After a while, he turned around, shook his head at the crowd, and sighed, "The patient is gone."
