Chapter 345: Love in Exchange for Life
Chapter 345: Love in Exchange for Life
Shen Zhishu always wanted to find out what he was thinking.
"Yes, I feel very sad, Shu'er. The Queen almost died giving birth to this child, and you can see how miserable she is now, all because of her pregnancy and childbirth. I can't just turn a blind eye to it."
Yan Chu was silent for a moment, then admitted it.
"You have never seen the Queen galloping on the battlefield, heroic and unrestrained. I never thought that one day she would be relegated to the inner house and become like this. I think it's a pity. I always feel that she shouldn't stay here."
Only on the battlefield and in the court does she shine.
In the harem, nothing she did seemed to be right and she felt out of place here.
"I even thought that maybe she had done nothing wrong all along, but her identity and position had changed, and it was reality that forced her to do this..."
Are you so heartbroken?
She even made excuses for the mistakes she made.
So the emperor is planning to rekindle his old relationship with her?
Shen Zhishu almost asked impulsively.
"Your Majesty is right."
She endured it and pretended to be understanding.
"I know you are right, but you are my husband. Seeing you and the queen so close, I can't help but feel bitter. So... if you want to care about the queen in the future, I will stay away and pretend I don't know."
She lowered her eyes and spoke in a pitiful manner.
"Alright."
Yan Chu felt distressed when seeing this.
I thought he would say something.
But he nodded.
Shen Zhishu was a little surprised. It turned out that the emperor actually thought that what he said made sense?
After that, wouldn't he have to visit the Queen often without telling her?
So, as expected, she had a close call with death this time, but the emperor felt pity for her again?
Then wasn't my choice this time wrong?
Shen Zhishu returned to Kunning Palace with an extremely heavy heart.
Because they were worried, Bitao and Xiaodie stood at the door and looked out.
When he saw her coming, he hurried forward.
"My queen, has the queen given you any trouble?"
Bitao looked her up and down to see if she was injured.
"Don't even think about slandering you. I have already prepared sufficient evidence according to your instructions. She has brought this upon herself. You cannot be blamed for this."
Xiaodie said seriously.
"But what happens after the truth comes out? Su Rong certainly deserves it, but the emperor will know that I have seen through the queen's scheme and used it against them to harm them."
"But it's all my own fault. I can't blame anyone else."
Xiaodie didn't understand. Even if it was like this, so what? Anyone who was reasonable wouldn't blame the queen.
What’s more, the emperor is a wise ruler, how could he not understand?
"Aren't you allowed to fight back?"
"But the child is innocent. Even if the emperor has a hundred reasons to think that I am innocent, there is only one reason. I almost killed the innocent child in revenge against the queen. He will always have a grudge in his heart."
"Why should you care so much about what the emperor thinks of you?"
Xiaodie was helpless.
"I care. He is the king of a country and the only husband I will ever have in my life."
Shen Zhishu said seriously.
The most important thing is that Su Rong now has the memories of her past life, and will definitely try every means to attack her in the future.
No matter how it is designed, the most important thing is that she cannot have any bad impression in Yan Chu's mind.
Xiaodie didn't know the inside story, she just felt that why did she feel like vomiting after hearing what her master said?
Just because she was afraid that the emperor would have a bad impression of her, she gave up the great opportunity to deal with the queen?
"I have discussed this in detail with the Queen, and we have reached a consensus on the poisoning."
She said as she walked into the house.
Consensus? Isn't it just a desperate attempt to throw dirty water on the other side in such a big event?
Xiaodie and Bitao looked at each other, not understanding at all.
The days that followed were peaceful.
The queen is seriously injured and needs to rest.
The Jiaomu Palace refused outside visitors and did not allow concubines from other palaces to visit.
Apart from the imperial physician Ashe who often came in and out to take care of the queen's health, no other outsiders came in and out of the Jiaomu Palace.
The emperor's attention has recently been on the queen and the little prince.
Shen Zhishu had a few days of leisure, during which time he even found time to leave the palace many times, leaving early and returning late, and no one knew what he was busy with.
As for the case of the Queen's poisoning, the clues were cut off when it came to Juzi, and the biggest suspect was Concubine Wan.
Even though she denied it again and again, there was no evidence to prove her innocence.
The emperor stripped her of her title and sent her to the cold palace, where she would spend the rest of her life unless evidence revealed the truth.
Concubine Wan was unwilling to accept her fate. On the day she was locked up in the cold palace, she kept shouting out her injustice and begging for mercy, and even clamored to see the emperor to prove her innocence.
However, she was dragged directly into the cold palace by the guards and forcibly detained.
In the blink of an eye, the queen was out of confinement.
Shen Zhishu's belly also got bigger.
Early that morning, everyone finally gathered in the Jiaomu Hall.
Su Rong has become much thinner. She is wearing a dark red dress and still has bright makeup on. She looks like a delicate peony.
Perhaps it was because of her memories from a previous life, she was extremely majestic at this moment, and had the aura of a mother of the country.
Everyone was nervous and didn't dare to look directly at Su Rong.
But she felt bad when she looked at the women in the room.
When she thought about how it was her bad idea to come up with it, how it was she who wanted to select the concubines for the emperor, and how the so-called favored concubines were all sent to Yan Chu through her painstaking planning, she felt like vomiting blood.
Even though she had been mentally prepared these days, she almost broke down when she suddenly saw him.
This is really crazy. It's just to deal with Shen Zhishu, why do you have to make so many troubles?
"Empress? Are you... okay?"
I'm afraid she was in a daze for too long.
Yue Changzai, the new palace maid, asked tentatively.
Only she has the courage to do this, no one else would dare to do it.
The moon is always there.
Gao Yue coming out of the nunnery.
Thinking of her background, Su Rong rolled her eyes in anger.
"No problem."
Thinking of her crazy thoughts not long ago, Su Rong wanted to stab herself.
"Is something wrong with you?"
She looked at everyone weakly, and finally her eyes fell on Shen Zhishu's belly.
This sentence stumped everyone again.
Isn't it the Queen's order to come here?
How did it become that they were in trouble? But even if they were fine, they didn't dare to refute the queen's words.
"You are all fine, so I will say a few words about how I was poisoned this time..."
Su Rong lowered her eyes, hiding her dissatisfaction.
She had just returned, and Shen Zhishu was watching her covetously. Yan Chu would not let her do whatever she wanted now. It would take time to clean these people out.
So don’t look at it, out of sight, out of mind.
Speaking of being poisoned, she looked at Shen Zhishu again.
Only after everyone noticed her gaze did she slowly withdrew it.
"I hate it most when concubines scheme against each other and cheat against each other. So if one day I find out that there is someone behind this, I will take revenge myself. Not only her, but also her entire family will have to pay the price for this."
