Chapter 11 Lure the snake out of its hole
Su Ruian shook his head with difficulty: "If it didn't happen, why would I tell everyone about this kind of thing?"
"Mother suspected that Su Chenyu knew that you were pregnant."
Su Ruian was anxious: "Impossible, only a few of us know about this, how could she know?"
"Ruian, what my mother prepared today was poisonous bees, not wasps. Someone replaced the poisonous bees with wasps, and also replaced the sachet on your body." The queen asked, "Based on Su Chenyu's recent behavior, if she found out about my plan, she would target me instead of you. But she changed the sachet on your body. Could it be that she wanted to expose your pregnancy to others?"
"Could it be that someone betrayed me?"
"My mother will continue to investigate this matter, but Su Chenyu is acting strangely now, so you should take good care of yourself during this period of time. Don't provoke her for now, and wait until you have recovered before we talk."
As soon as the queen finished speaking, the palace door opened and Emperor Jing of Wei strode in.
"Your Majesty..." The queen stood up to pay her respects to Emperor Jing of Wei. Before she could finish her words, she was slapped to the ground by Emperor Jing of Wei: "Foolish woman, what you did today made me lose face."
"Your Majesty, please don't hit your mother." Su Ruian became anxious when he saw the queen being beaten.
When Emperor Jing of Wei heard Su Ruian's voice, he pulled her up from the bed and said, "You are a princess, but you are pregnant before marriage. You are pregnant with an evil child. Rather than letting you go out and embarrass yourself, I might as well beat you to death."
The queen knelt on the ground and hugged Emperor Jing of Wei's legs: "Your Majesty, Rui'an has always been obedient and docile. This time it was an unintentional mistake. It was Lian Shizhao who seduced Rui'an. Please forgive Rui'an this time."
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong." After all, she was the daughter he had loved for so many years. Seeing her current miserable state, he couldn't bear it, so Emperor Jing of Wei finally let go of her hand.
But he was not so lenient towards the queen, and kicked her away: "You have made things like this, how do you want to end it? Let me depose you from the position of queen and give everyone an excuse?"
"Your Majesty, if you abolish my position as queen at this time, it means that this matter has been confirmed. I don't care what happens to me, but you have embarrassed yourself in front of the ministers."
"Do you still need to remind me of this? If you hadn't considered these, do you think you could still stay here safely now?"
"Your Majesty, the only solution now is to put all these things behind us."
Emperor Jing of Wei looked at the queen suspiciously and asked, "Are you sure you can do it?"
Now that it was confirmed that Su Rui was safe, the queen regained her sanity: "Your Majesty, you can blame this matter on me."
"Okay, if you can't give everyone a satisfactory answer to this matter, your position as queen will come to an end." After saying this, Emperor Jing of Wei stood up and left. The queen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the emperor was on her side, there would be room for maneuver in this matter.
"Ah..." Su Ruian suddenly screamed, covering her face, "My face, my face is ruined."
She just saw the bronze mirror beside the bed, and the face in the mirror scared her. This was not her face, no!
"Ruian, don't be afraid. The imperial physician has already prescribed medicine. It's all the best medicine. It will go away soon." The queen hugged Su Ruian and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, your mother will never let anything happen to you."
Su Ruian huddled in the Queen's arms, her eyes full of hatred. It was all because of Su Chenyu that she ended up in this situation. She would definitely make Su Chenyu pay the price.
Su Chenyu returned to the Yuyang Palace and saw the two palace maids, Wutong and Yinxing, who were brought back from the Ministry of Internal Affairs by Nanny Xu.
