"Imperial Physician Lu also said that I ate something that caused miscarriage. Doesn't this prove that it was you, Your Majesty, who caused it?"
The Queen Mother's face gradually darkened, and her eyes swept towards Su Lijin.
Concubine Shu looked aggrieved and cried bitterly: "Empress Dowager, the baby in my belly is the heir of the royal family. The Queen wants to make me have a miscarriage. You can't just ignore it, Your Majesty."
As she spoke, Concubine Shu took the Empress Dowager's hand and placed it on her belly.
Su Lijin just wanted to laugh when she heard this. This series of crying and making a fuss by Concubine Shu was really wonderful.
Su Lijin looked at the crying Concubine Shu calmly and said, "Concubine Shu, that cup of tea was spilled, and you didn't drink a single sip."
"If you didn't drink Xianxian's tea, how could it be that I gave you the abortion drug?"
Concubine Shu was choked and snorted inwardly. She quickly found an excuse and said, "Maybe the tea and snacks were also spiked with abortion drugs!"
"Your Majesty, it was your maid who delivered it to you."
Shufei's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
They nodded at the memory.
"Yes, it seems that it was the one called Xianxian who brought the tray over."
"Could it be that the Queen really gave me an abortion drug?"
Everyone was whispering and looking at Su Lijin. Their expressions clearly showed that they were in the same camp as Concubine Shu.
Seeing everyone on her side, Concubine Shu was overjoyed. With tears on her face, she pointed at Su Lijin and accused him, "Your Majesty, please don't quibble! I've already shown symptoms. Am I wrongly accusing you?"
Su Lijin looked at her shameless behavior and simply didn't want to pay any attention to her.
However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she still had to argue, otherwise she would really be splashed with mud.
Just as he was about to speak, a low and majestic voice sounded from the side.
"Shufei, there was no snacks there except tea."
Xiao Shengxing walked in with a dignified air, looked at Concubine Shu meaningfully, and said, "I wonder where you had your refreshments?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately looked at Concubine Shu.
Since the emperor spoke personally, no one would doubt its truth.
"It seems there really is no refreshment."
"I remember now. There were only a few cups of tea at the time."
Suddenly, the discussion among the crowd changed direction.
The excuse that Concubine Shu had made was a bit hasty to begin with, and now that it was exposed, her expression changed several times.
She secretly hated Su Lijin for being so lucky that there was always someone to stand up for her, and she felt jealous in her heart.
But her face showed a look of confusion, and she patted her head and said, "Your Majesty, perhaps I remembered it wrongly."
"You remembered it wrongly?" Su Lijin sneered, her eyes fixed on Concubine Shu, saying, "Concubine Shu, you said you remembered it wrongly, but you wrongly accused me of a serious crime. How can you be so careless?"
Concubine Shu frowned: "I was pregnant and my memory is not good. I remembered it wrongly. Why does your Majesty care so much?"
"Having a miscarriage and murdering a royal descendant is a grave crime. This is a dirty trick thrown at me, yet Concubine Shu told me not to take it to heart."
Hearing this, Su Lijin's sneer almost hit Concubine Shu in the face: "So next time someone really poisons Concubine Shu, do I have to tell you not to take it to heart?"
Concubine Shu was suddenly speechless and glared at Su Lijin with an unfriendly look.
Su Lijin narrowed her eyes and warned, "Shufei, you'd better be careful with your words and actions, otherwise, I will punish you for slander according to the law!"
Xiao Shengxing also cast a majestic look over. Although he didn't say anything, it was quite intimidating.
The Queen Mother on the side interjected, "Shufei, you must not be careless in the future. Let's just let it go this time."
Although her words were a bit reproachful, they were actually an excuse for Concubine Shu to let the matter go.
Seeing the Queen Mother's intention, Su Lijin showed a hint of mockery in her eyes.
Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and said, "I understand. I will definitely pay attention to it."
She swallowed everything and was not willing to accept it at all!
How could Su Lijin not see it?
She said calmly, "Since Concubine Shu is feeling unwell and it is very inconvenient, I think it is best for you to stay in the tent and not go out to play."
After saying this, he looked at Concubine Shu meaningfully.
Shufei's face suddenly turned pale, and she could hardly hide her jealous look, and she clenched her fingers tightly.
She was in disguised confinement!
What a queen she is, treating her like this!
But she had been complaining about stomachache from the beginning, and it was confirmed by Doctor Lu. It didn't make sense for her to insist on going out for fun at this time.
I can only swallow this loss in silence.
Xiao Shengxing saw a glimmer in Su Lijin's eyes and nodded, "I think it's a good idea too. Concubine Shu should stay here and recuperate."
The farce ended in the middle of the night and everyone returned to their tents.
During the day, the scenery of the peach blossom forest attracted many people to visit again. For a while, the shadows of people and flowers were intertwined, which created a unique charm.
Su Lijin leaned against a peach tree, staring at the top of the tree in a daze.
She didn't even notice when Xiao Shengxing came over, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Does the Queen want the peach blossoms on it?"
He said, "How about I pick it off for you?"
Hearing this, Su Lijin came back to her senses. Her beautiful eyes turned, and she nodded, pointing to the top of the tree and said, "Okay, I want the top cluster of branches!"
Her face seemed more delicate than flowers, and her tone was so gentle that it made people's hearts beat faster.
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Shengxing leaped onto the top branch of the tree with a faint smile on his thin lips.
After breaking off the top branch, Xiao Shengxing lightly tapped the flower and landed gracefully.
"Here, Queen, the top-quality flowers you requested."
Looking at the flower branch in front of her, Su Lijin's face suddenly felt hot. With rosy cheeks, she took it and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know the meaning of this top-notch flower branch?"
Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes deepened slightly as he said, "This top-notch branch will only be given to my first wife."
These words were like a piece of candy being stuffed into Su Lijin's mouth, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.
But just as the corners of her mouth curled up, other thoughts suddenly flashed through her mind.
Although it is true that Xiao Shengxing's first wife is himself, he also has an entire harem.
There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and I am just one of them.
As she thought about it, her expression darkened, as if she hadn't understood the implication of that sentence, and she remained silent.
The night was cool, the wind blew the shadows of the trees, and the voices around gradually calmed down.
Su Lijin had just dismissed all the maids and turned around to see a figure standing behind her.
After seeing the face of the person behind her, Su Lijin's face turned a little ugly.
Xiao Zhaolin.
Xiao Zhaolin looked at Su Lijin's unhappy face, feeling slightly annoyed. He grabbed Su Lijin's hand and said, "My Lady, do you no longer love me?"
Hearing that he came here in the middle of the night to ask such a thing, Su Lijin suddenly felt annoyed.
Could this person please stop torturing her like this?
