"It's Chi Liangdi. I have demoted her to a commoner and banished her to the cold palace."
Rong Zhou's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of vulnerability. He gently hugged Su Wanti.
"Wan'er, I was so scared at that time. When I saw the blood, I felt scared for the first time. I just wanted to kill people..."
Su Wanti said softly, "Your Majesty is fine. I am in good health. Our child is well in my belly. Don't be afraid."
Ye Zi had already rushed over via a shortcut and told Su Wanti everything that had happened in the hall.
Su Wanti also understood that everyone had their own purpose in this incident.
Chi Liangdi wanted to get rid of her child and put the blame on the imperial concubine.
The Imperial Concubine was no ordinary person. She saw through Chi Liangdi's plan and followed the trend, pretending to be innocent and weak to win the Emperor's sympathy...

"However, Your Majesty, I was careless this time. The Queen and the Imperial Concubine also failed in their duties."
"The banquet was prepared by the Queen. The Imperial Concubine also has the authority to assist the Six Palaces and should assist the Queen in handling palace affairs."
"But what happened today? Someone openly poisoned my soup, and the Queen and the Imperial Concubine took no precautions, and no one noticed."
"It's understandable that the Empress is too busy with harem affairs to take care of everything, but the Imperial Concubine... the Emperor should have seen today that the Imperial Concubine is too pure-minded. She has always been close to Chi Liangdi, and the two of them have a close relationship, but she was completely unaware of Chi Liangdi's actions and was almost taken advantage of by her..."
