Chapter 223 Learned another trick

"Empress Shufei, she is a bad person." Lu Li looked at Zhao Xueer with disgust.

"Mmmm." Upon hearing that the person coming was Concubine Shu, Zhao Xueer struggled violently.

The name of Concubine Shen Liuzheng is known to all the people of Daxia.

She kills without blinking an eye, and being killed in her hands can be fatal.

Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Shen Liuzheng gave the maid a look.

The maid pulled the rag out of Zhao Xueer's mouth.

Zhao Xueer just started to vomit in front of everyone.

After vomiting out the contents of her stomach, she shouted in a hurry: "It's unfair. Please, Madam Concubine Shu, please look into this matter! I was just cutting vegetables in the kitchen when I was caught. I don't know what happened at all."

After listening to this, Shen Liuzheng lowered her head and looked at Lu Li: "Xiao Jiu, do you think she was the one who caused the Princess's misfortune?"

The person who had delivered the message had already explained the whole story.

She already knew the reason why Lu Yao gave birth prematurely.

"Yeah!" Lu Li nodded.

"I am innocent. Even though you are a princess, you can't wrongly accuse me without evidence." Although she was a little flustered, Zhao Xueer still shouted that she was innocent.

She really couldn't understand, she did it so secretly, how did this little brat know?

"You are Zhao Xue'er, Xu Mingting's concubine. He sent your son to the palace to be a eunuch. Now he would rather let the old eunuch take care of him until his death than acknowledge you. That's why you hate the eldest sister and want to harm her!" Lu Li pointed out her true identity.

Zhao Xueer's face turned pale.

She had never met this Ninth Princess, so how did she know her true identity? Also, how did the Ninth Princess find out so much about her in such a short time?

But she quickly came to her senses and denied it with gritted teeth.

"My name is Xue Zhao'er, not Zhao Xue'er."

There was no way she could hide Concubine Shu's poor acting skills.

"The hem of your skirt must have been accidentally stained with oil when you were pouring it." Shen Liuzheng looked down at the hem of her skirt.

Zhao Xueer looked down subconsciously, but there was nothing on the hem of her skirt.

[Where is the oil? Why don’t I see it? ]

Lu Li also looked confused.

"Alright, stop acting in front of me. If you hadn't poured the oil, why were you looking down like a guilty villain?" Shen Liuzheng was too lazy to continue questioning.

[It turns out that Concubine Shu deceived her! Could this be the legendary "a soldier never tires of deceiving others"? ]

Lu Li said that he had learned a new trick.

"Because I was helping in the kitchen, I was afraid that the hem of my skirt would get stained with oil, which would be impolite and would offend Her Majesty and the Princess. That's why I lowered my head to look at the hem of my skirt." Zhao Xueer still didn't give in and found a reasonable excuse for herself.

"You still don't admit it, right? Then I'll let you die knowing full well." Shen Liuzheng called the people from the kitchen and asked them one by one to ask about the time when they saw Zhao Xueer.

Just then, the midwife's happy voice came from the room.

"Congratulations, Princess, congratulations, Prince Consort, both mother and child are safe. The little boy is very handsome."

Shen Liuzheng and Lu Li in the yard both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

I'm glad you're okay.

Instead, Zhao Xueer widened her eyes in disbelief.

It's impossible. The eldest princess fell down with a big belly. How could both mother and child be safe?

"You must be disappointed. My eldest sister and my little nephew are both fine." Lu Li looked at her with a smile.

"How could that be? I am so happy for the princess and the young master." Zhao Xueer forced a stiff smile.

It just so happened that at this time, the matter that Concubine Shu had ordered people to investigate had finally come to fruition.

Someone testified that Zhao Xueer had secretly left her room at 3 a.m. today, and when she came back she still smelled of oil.

"I had a severe stomachache at that time, so I went to the bathroom. I didn't do anything bad to harm the princess." Zhao Xueer was still making excuses.

Lu Li was furious as she watched her deny it again and again.

She saw through the melon-eating system that it was this woman who was responsible, but she couldn't tell anyone about the system, so now she felt very aggrieved as she watched Zhao Xueer making excuses.

Shen Liuzheng clapped his hands calmly.

Deng Yong was brought up.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Concubine Shu and the Ninth Princess." He greeted them both skillfully.

Zhao Xueer's face turned pale.

How do they move so fast?

[Wow, Concubine Shu is so amazing. When she heard me mention Xu Mingting, she sent people to look for their son.]

Lu Li's eyes lit up and she understood Shen Liuzheng's intention of calling Deng Yong here.

Now that the son that Zhao Xueer cares about the most is here, how long can she keep pretending to be stubborn?

"Is this your mother?" Shen Liuzheng gestured for her to look at Zhao Xueer.

"Don't rush to answer." Seeing Deng Yong hesitating, Shen Liuzheng continued to speak.

"She is now plotting to murder the eldest princess, and her crime is unforgivable. If you were her son, you would also be punished. Think carefully before answering. Is this woman named Xue Zhaoer your mother?"

Zhao Xueer's heart was in a knot.

She wanted her son to recognize her, but she didn't want to implicate him.

Deng Yong hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head.

"She is not. My mother died when I was sent to the purification room. I don't know where my father went. I am the son of Master Deng Hua now. He is my only relative."

These words broke Zhao Xueer's heart.

What she couldn't accept the most was that Deng Yong didn't acknowledge her as his biological mother.

"Xu Linyong, I've done so much for you, how can you deny me as your mother?" She cried heartbreakingly.

"You are not my mother. My mother would not be so vicious as to harm others." Deng Yong's eyes were red and he turned his head away from her.

Zhao Xueer's face turned paler.

[I understand. This move of Concubine Shu is called killing people and destroying their hearts.]

Lu Li was eating melons while learning new knowledge.

Shen Liuzheng wanted to laugh when she heard this, so she bent down and picked her up so that she could see more clearly.

"You actually said I'm vicious? Am I as vicious as your father? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, and he made you a eunuch!" Zhao Xueer shouted angrily.

Deng Yong sobbed softly and choked up, "I am unlucky to have parents like you. I made it very clear that day that we have severed our mother-son relationship. Whatever you do has nothing to do with me."

"How can it have nothing to do with you? If it wasn't for revenge for you, why would I have planned all this and entered the princess's mansion?" Zhao Xueer was so angry at him that she told him the truth.

"You admitted it." Shen Liuzheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Zhao Xueer pursed her lips subconsciously. Why did she say this out loud?

"Go ahead." Shen Liuzheng looked at Deng Yong.

This child has already suffered enough from having irresponsible parents, so let's not drag him into this this time.

"I'll take my leave." Deng Yong turned and left without even looking at Zhao Xueer.

"Xu Linyong, you are not allowed to leave. I am doing this all for you." Zhao Xueer shouted.

Shen Liuzheng frowned slightly and uttered two words: "Noisy."

Shufei's maid Han Guang immediately understood what the queen meant. She stepped forward and chopped Zhao Xueer on the back of her neck with a knife.

She fainted on the spot.

"Your Majesty, let's stop arguing now." Han Guang spoke respectfully.

Dark Guard Fifteen widened his eyes: I’ve learned it, I’ll do it the same next time!
