The Empress looked at Consort Rong, but before she could speak, Rong Xian, who was standing to the side, grabbed Consort Rong in a panic, "Mother, are you crazy?"

Her tone was somewhat anxious.

Fearing that Consort Rong's words would displease the Empress.

Ignoring everything else, she hurriedly tried to persuade Consort Rong, "Her Majesty the Empress is a gentle person, how could she possibly do such a thing!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Consort Rong's face instantly became somewhat distorted.

She gripped Rongxian's arm tightly and said forcefully, "You are my daughter, how can you speak up for the person who killed your brother and brother?"

Does the Empress perhaps possess some kind of bewitching power?

Why did Rongxian trust her so much after only meeting her once?

She absolutely refused to allow the child she had risked her life to be born to stand with the wicked murderer, the Empress.

"How can you believe the words of a stranger instead of the words of the mother who gave you life and raised you?"

Rong Xian's slender arm was held tightly in Consort Rong's hand.

The intermittent pain in his arm made Rongxian instinctively begin to struggle.

She tried to push Consort Rong away to relieve the pain that kept coming from her arm.

But in Consort Rong's eyes, her actions were a form of resistance.

The empress killed several of her sons and even tried to take her daughter away!

Her face grew increasingly gloomy, and her gaze towards Rongxian was icy cold. "Rongxian, come back to Zhongcui Palace with your mother!"

As she spoke, she prepared to pull Rongxian towards the outside of the palace.

Rongxian's eyes reddened because of the pain in his arm.

She bit her lip tightly, lowered her head, and followed behind Consort Rong in silence.

He let Rong Pin's hands scratch his arm, leaving bruises.

Mu Yue noticed Rong Xian's expression and immediately walked up to Consort Rong, standing in front of her.

She tried to remove Consort Rong's hand from Rongxian's arm.

Worried about Mu Yue, the Empress quickly went to her side and gestured for her maid to come forward and rescue Rong Xian's arm from Consort Rong's hand, who was clearly in a bad state.

“Consort Rong, I don’t understand where your resentment comes from, but Rongxian is your daughter after all. Didn’t you notice that you scratched her arm?”

Rongxian clearly did not expect the Empress to stand up for her.

She looked up blankly, staring at the Empress's slightly serious face, her eyes filled with emotion.

Consort Rong's attention was completely drawn to the Empress, and she did not notice the old nanny who walked up to her.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the nanny freed Rongxian's arm.

Rongxian's arm was now numb from being gripped so tightly.

Looking at Consort Rong's twisted and crazed expression, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

She shrank back and hid behind the old woman beside her.

In a daze, I felt that the concubine in front of me was like a demon that crawled out of hell, and she was very scary.

Consort Rong looked at the Empress and said, word by word, "No matter who it was, so many children were killed, they deserved this much resentment!"

"Your Majesty killed several of my sons, and now you want to take my daughter away too?"

Mu Yue couldn't stand Rong Pin criticizing the Empress.

When it comes to the crime of the emperor, there is no shortage of excuses!

Consort Rong had already formed a preconceived notion that the princes' misdeeds were related to the Empress Dowager, and no matter how much she was persuaded, she wouldn't listen.

Why waste time explaining?

Let the Emperor deal with his concubines!

Mu Yue had an idea in mind and immediately said, "Empress Mother, Consort Rong is so convinced that you harmed her child, but you did not do such things. Now, everyone has their own reasons, and neither can convince the other. Why don't we tell Father Emperor everything and let him make a decision?"

The Empress had a clear conscience and naturally had no objection to the suggestion.

She lowered her head slightly and glanced at Consort Rong. "What does Consort Rong think of Yue'er's suggestion?"

If the Empress hadn't been pregnant and worried that Consort Rong's emotional outburst might harm the child, given her personality, she certainly wouldn't have chosen to seek Kangxi's help.

After all, in the eyes of some people with ulterior motives, this would make her, the empress, appear somewhat incompetent.

Consort Rong, confident in her evidence, sneered upon hearing the Empress's words and said with great self-assurance, "Then we'll wait for the Emperor to arrive before making a decision!"

Without hesitation, the Empress immediately instructed the nanny beside her to tell Kangxi what had happened in Kunning Palace.

Before long, Emperor Kangxi's imperial carriage arrived at Kunning Palace.

With a stern face, he strode towards Mu Yue's palace.

Kangxi already knew the general situation.

As soon as I entered the palace, I saw tears welling up in Rongxian's eyes, and the Empress's brows furrowed slightly, her expression vaguely showing some fatigue.

"Consort Rong, if you're not thinking straight, then Yinzhi and Rongxian should move out of Zhongcui Palace!"

Kangxi's reprimand without asking the reason made Consort Rong's face turn pale.

A few tears welled up in her clear black and white eyes, and her lips trembled slightly, making her look rather pitiful.

"Your Majesty...why don't you explain the reason..."

Before Consort Rong could finish her trembling words, Emperor Kangxi strode over to the Empress, half-supporting her as she sat down on a chair, without even glancing at Consort Rong.

His attitude was clear without needing to be spoken.

Consort Rong's face was ashen, and a hint of despair flashed in her eyes.

Are my dead children so insignificant in the Emperor's eyes?

She stared intently at Kangxi, her eyes faintly bloodshot.

Rongxian looked at Consort Rong with concern, fearing that his mother might displease his father, the Emperor.

"I have already investigated why Chengrui and the others got into trouble, and it has nothing to do with the Empress!"

Seeing Rong Pin's incredulous expression, Kangxi said in a reprimanding tone, "Rong Pin, I always thought you were simple-minded, but I never expected you to be so foolish, easily deceived by a few words, and even daring to disrespect the Empress. What is your punishment?"

This is the first time Consort Rong has faced the furious Emperor Kangxi.

She suddenly felt her legs go weak, and she swayed and fell to the ground.

Seeing his mother in this state, Rongxian hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

But her arm was still throbbing and she didn't have much strength, so she couldn't lift Consort Rong up at all. She even tripped and fell to the ground herself.

Her injured arm was pinned down by her body, and the intense pain made the mist in her eyes even more pronounced, and tears streamed down her face.

Mu Yue disliked Consort Rong, but she couldn't stand Rong Xian's appearance.

If she hadn't dragged Rongxian from the Imperial Garden to her own palace and said those things, Consort Rong wouldn't have been provoked, and the Emperor wouldn't have been alarmed.

Right now, the Emperor is clearly angered by Consort Rong.

He even took his anger out on Rongxian's sister!

She rushed to Rongxian's side and helped her up after she fell to the ground.

Then, she looked at Consort Rong, who was sitting on the ground, looking ashen-faced. "Consort Rong keeps saying that her child is gone and that it's related to the Empress Dowager. She should be able to produce some evidence!"

"If there is no evidence, isn't this framing someone?"
