Just as he finished speaking, someone came in from outside and reported that Concubine Shu wanted to see him.

Zhao Yuancheng's eyes flashed with annoyance, and he said impatiently: "Let her go back, I don't want to see her."

Fu Qianyu shook her head helplessly. According to Concubine Shu's personality, if the emperor refused to see her, she would definitely beg again and again. Sure enough, when Baozhan came in again, she said that Concubine Shu was kneeling at the door.

"Your Majesty, please ask Concubine Shu to come in. The weather is getting hot. She is worried about this matter and will not be able to sleep well these days. If anything happens to her, the Marquisate will be hard to explain."

Zhao Yuancheng sighed deeply and ordered someone to bring Concubine Shu in.

As soon as Concubine Shu entered the room, she knelt in front of Zhao Yuancheng. In the past, she was always dressed beautifully no matter when and where, but at this moment, her hair was disheveled, her face was haggard, and she looked very embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, I have seen clearly that I lost the jade pendant half a month ago. Because it was a gift from the Empress Dowager, I was afraid that she would be angry, so I didn't dare to speak out. But I really didn't kill Concubine Dong!"

Fu Qianyu said nothing, but just fanned herself gently to cool off. However, in the eyes of Concubine Shu, her nonchalant look became a mockery and complacency.

As if blinded by lard, Concubine Shu pointed at Fu Qianyu and sternly said, "It's you! You framed me, didn't you?"

"How dare you!" Zhao Yuancheng scolded coldly, "The Imperial Concubine is the future mother of the nation, and you're talking to her like that?"

Concubine Shu knelt on the ground and sobbed, looking at Fu Qianyu with eyes full of hatred: "Who else but the Imperial Noble Concubine could do such a thing in the palace so perfectly?"

Lingyun was furious and argued on behalf of her master: "Madam Shufei, before you came, our madam had already told the emperor about the doubts about this matter. If it was really our master's doing, she could have just killed you directly. Why waste her breath?"

Concubine Shu hummed softly, "Can she be so kind?"

Seeing that she was getting more and more unreasonable, Zhao Yuancheng's patience was exhausted. He coldly ordered Zhu Yu: "Send Concubine Shu back. Don't let her out until the truth of this matter is revealed."

“Hey!”

Zhu Yu felt helpless, and even thought that before this Concubine Shu entered the palace, she might have left her brain at home, which was why she dared to contradict the Imperial Noble Concubine in public in front of the Emperor.

Fu Qianyu wanted to persuade him to say something, but just as she was about to open her mouth, she felt a warm current under her body.

She is about to give birth.

It was a coincidence that this child came. Zhao Yuancheng naturally thought that it was Concubine Shu's inappropriate words and deeds that offended her, which caused the child to be born a few days earlier.

The more he looked at Concubine Shu, the more he disliked her. Seeing Concubine Shu still kneeling in the hall, even Zhu Yu beside him was shocked: "Are you dead? Hurry and call the imperial physician."

“Yeah.”

Zhu Yu felt a surge of grievance and hurriedly ordered someone to fetch the imperial physician. He suppressed his anger and said to Concubine Shu kindly, "Your Majesty, please return first. The Emperor has his own opinion on this matter. If you continue to make such a fuss, even if Concubine Dong wasn't killed by you, once the Emperor loses his patience, there's no telling what might happen!"
