Xiao Zhaolin's face was almost completely black. He had rushed to Yikun Palace because he was waiting to see Su Lijin being punished.
But unexpectedly, Concubine Shu was counter-sanctioned by the witnesses and evidence produced by Su Lijin!
He never imagined that Concubine Shu would use such methods to torture the child on a daily basis.
Although the child was nothing more than a tool, torturing him would not benefit their plans at all.
At this moment, he really hated Concubine Shu's stupidity.
Xiao Zhaolin snorted coldly, wondering how Concubine Shu had managed to survive in this harem until today.
Instead of making use of a good prince, he had to do something stupid that would only ruin his own career. How stupid!
Not to mention helping Concubine Shu at this moment, he simply wanted to draw a clear line with this stupid woman immediately to avoid being implicated by her!
"Your Highness, please help me speak up. I really didn't..."
Concubine Shu was in tears, she knelt on the ground and begged, pulling at the corner of Xiao Zhaolin's clothes.
She was really panicked. The emperor gave her poisoned wine, which meant she would die!
Xiao Zhaolin's face was filled with disgust. He walked away a few steps and said coldly, "Your Majesty is wise. This is what you deserve. I can't help you. You should thank him."
She raised her head in horror, knowing that Xiao Zhaolin had given up on her, and Shufei's eyes were full of despair.
Su Lijin looked at the begging woman without a trace of sympathy in her eyes.
Concubine Shu was so cruel to her own flesh and blood that she tortured the child, who was less than one month old, with a barbed iron pestle.
In the end, the child suffocated to death because of her incense. The first thing she thought of was not to call the imperial physician for emergency treatment immediately, but to cover up everything and play a trick of shifting the blame. She is really hateful and annoying!
This woman deserves what she has today!
Poor child, born under her name, was tortured to death.
"Shu Fei, I gave you poisoned wine and left you with an intact body. This is already a generous gesture to you. It is useless for you to beg anyone."
When Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes swept over, Concubine Shu suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her body shaking like a sieve.
"Your Majesty, I am your wife for a day and your grace for a hundred days. You cannot treat me like this..."
Heartbroken, Concubine Shu pleaded incoherently, "That child died. I had no choice. I really didn't mean it... In the future, I will give birth to many more princes for you. Please spare my life..."
"As the prince's biological mother, you cruelly abused your child, causing his death. This is one of the reasons."
On the side, Su Lijin looked at the unrepentant man with a solemn and cold expression on her face: "Killing the child, having the palace maid give false testimony, framing others, and trying to find someone to take the blame, this is the second."
She approached Concubine Shu and said, "Now, you haven't even truly mourned for that poor child. You've only been begging for your own survival. You're truly unfit to be a mother. This is the third reason."
"These three points, Concubine Shu, please think about them yourself."
After saying this, Su Lijin turned and left.
Xiao Shengxing waved and left, and everyone dispersed.
A eunuch came forward and immediately brought the poisoned wine to Concubine Shu.
"No, I don't drink!"
Concubine Shu struggled, but the eunuchs held her down and poured poisoned wine into her throat.
The struggling person immediately widened his eyes, blood flowed from his mouth, his body moved a little, and then fell down.
When the eunuch saw that she was dead, he immediately retreated.
There was no sound in the quiet Yiku Palace. In this silence, a figure quietly approached Concubine Shu and stuffed something into her mouth.
The news of Concubine Shu's death spread immediately throughout the harem, and the once prosperous and bustling Yiku Palace suddenly became a dilapidated cold palace.
Everyone was talking about it, saying that Concubine Shu deserved it and died a miserable death.
However, their words did not reach Kunning.
In Kunning Palace, Su Lijin was combing her hair in the bronze mirror. The palace maid put a phoenix hairpin on her head and smeared red lipstick on her pink lips, making her look radiant.
During this period, she finally lived a peaceful life. No more concubines came to pick on her, and she was in a good mood every day.
"Your Majesty, it's time to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager." The palace maid reminded.
Looking up from the mirror, Su Lijin nodded: "Let's go."
Walking into the Empress Dowager's palace, Su Lijin looked calmly at the person sitting there, waiting for her to pay her respects, and bowed respectfully.
The Queen Mother did not let her get up, and her face was filled with deep dissatisfaction: "The Queen is full of energy, but my heir has already gone to the grave."
Hearing this, Su Lijin sighed inwardly. The only thing that made her uncomfortable these days was coming to pay her respects.
"The Emperor has no children now. What do you think is the reason?"
The Queen Mother asked with a sneer.
Su Lijin was forced to reply, "Your Majesty, you're worrying too much. Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune and will surely have many children in the future."
"In the future?" The Queen Mother sneered and glared at her: "The Queen has already killed this only one, who knows how many more she will kill in the future!"
"Empress Dowager, what are you talking about?" Su Lijin raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips.
The bitterness in the Queen Mother's words was impossible to ignore.
The Queen Mother looked at her coldly: "In my opinion, Queen, you must have committed many sins in your past life, which is why the Emperor has no children. Are you satisfied with all this, Queen?"
Knowing that the Queen Mother was deliberately making things difficult for her on behalf of Concubine Shu, Su Lijin understood and said calmly, "I don't believe in killing or not killing sinners in my previous life. This life is the one I need to treat well. Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will definitely be fine."
In her previous life, she died tragically.
She will never make the same mistake again in this life.
