Chapter 540: Rebirth of Concubine Shu (Part 2)
Shen Liuzheng was waiting for news, and Xie Ruizhu was not idle either. She went to Yuxiu Palace the next day.
The concubines in the harem were all watching.
What kind of magical power does this Concubine Xia have that makes Concubine Shu and Concubine Gui visit her one after another?
Concubine Xie is coming with great force and looks difficult to deal with.
"Shen Liuzheng came to visit you yesterday and said something to you." Xie Ruizhu looked at Xia Shuyi proudly.
Seeing her beautiful face, Xie Ruizhu felt a little jealous.
Why is it that after giving birth to a child, this Xia girl looks even better?
Could it be that Shen Liuzheng was attracted by Xia Shuying's beauty and wanted to join forces with her?
Seize the emperor's favor.
"Your Highness, the Concubine Shu only came to visit me and Li'er yesterday and brought us some blood-replenishing and Qi-nourishing things."
Xia Shuyi told the truth honestly.
But unfortunately, Xie Ruizhu didn't believe it.
"Is it that simple?" She squinted her eyes and looked at Xia Shuyi.
"Every word I said is true." Xia Shuyi became anxious when she heard that she didn't believe it.
She had just given birth and was very weak. After paying her respects to Xie Ruizhu, she did not let her get up. At this moment, Xia Shuyi was almost staggering and about to fall.
"I asked you to bow, but you staggered. Do you look down on me?" Xie Ruizhu raised her eyebrows.
Xia Shuyi bit her lip and her face turned pale.
Xia Shuyi's maid Luwu couldn't bear to see her master being tortured, so she rushed forward to support her.
"Your Highness, my mistress just gave birth to a little princess and is physically exhausted. I did not mean to offend you. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Beads of sweat appeared on Xia Shuyi's forehead.
"Do you mean that I tortured her on purpose?" Xie Ruizhu snorted.
"Someone, take this talkative slave out and give her fifty slaps on the face. Let's see if she dares to contradict me again next time."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Shuyi and his servant all changed their expressions.
They both knelt on the ground at the same time.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Perhaps sensing her mother's danger, Lu Li, who was sleeping soundly, burst into tears.
Xia Shuyi was extremely anxious and wanted to get up, but she didn't dare to.
"She's making so much noise. Tell her to shut up." Xie Ruizhu looked at Lu Li angrily.
"Princess, be good, don't cry." The wet nurse who was holding Lu Li was extremely anxious, but Lu Li didn't listen at all and cried even harder.
Xie Ruizhu was so angry that she stepped forward and covered Lu Li's mouth.
"I told you to shut up, did you hear me?"
Lu Li's mouth and nose were covered, and he gradually found it difficult to breathe.
Seeing that her daughter's life was in danger, Xia Shuyi no longer cared about status.
"Let go of my Li'er." Xia Shuyi struggled to get up, pushed Xie Ruizhu away, and held Lu Li tightly in her arms.
"Li'er, don't cry. Li'er, be good. Mother is here." Xia Shuyi hurriedly coaxed her daughter.
Xie Ruizhu was pushed to the ground by her, her hand was bruised, she said angrily: "Come here, drag this person who plotted to harm me and committed treason out and beat him to death."
Hearing this, the palace maids in Yuxiu Palace knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please spare our master. She didn't mean it."
"My queen, please spare my life."
As the cries for mercy continued, Xie Ruizhu became more and more angry.
"What are you still standing there for? Can't you hear my orders?"
"Your Majesty, she is a concubine after all. Wouldn't it be bad to kill her directly?" Her maid Xuanlu advised tactfully.
After all, she is the concubine who gave birth to a prince and a princess for the emperor, not some ordinary person. The concubine's behavior is probably inappropriate.
"If you think it's not good, then why don't you go and accompany her to the execution?" Xie Ruizhu was angry and didn't want to hear anything.
Xuan Lu was so scared that her face turned pale and she quickly shut her mouth.
Xia Shuyi was dragged out of the palace by the palace maids brought by Xie Ruizhu. Lu Wei rushed forward to stop them. Lu Ran wanted to go find the emperor, but they were stopped by Xie Ruizhu's men.
"If you dare to run out, you will be beaten to death with sticks." Xie Ruizhu gave the order with a cold face.
Xia Shuyi held her daughter tightly and refused to let go, her tears flowing silently.
Why is her life so hard?
At this critical moment, Shen Liuzheng came with the emperor.
"Who do you want to beat to death with a stick?" Lu Yanshi asked in a serious tone.
"Your Majesty, you are finally here. Please make the decision for me~" Xie Ruizhu was not panicked at all when Lu Yanshi caught her committing a crime. She ran towards Lu Yanshi with her skirt lifted up like a butterfly.
When she arrived in front of Lu Yanshi, she stretched out her slightly scratched palm and said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, I came to visit Concubine Xia with good intentions, but she pushed me to the ground. Wuwuwu, you have to make the decision for me."
Xia Shuyi hurriedly defended herself, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean it. At that time, the noble concubine covered Li'er's mouth and nose, and I pushed her away in desperation."
"You are talking nonsense! I just thought the little princess was cute, so I went up to her and touched her little face." Xie Ruizhu denied it flatly.
"If you don't believe me, ask them. The little princess is your blood. How could I hurt her?" Xie Ruizhu felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and she began to cry.
Everyone in Yuxiu Palace felt despair.
The Emperor dotes on Concubine Xie so much, he will definitely not believe them.
They are dead.
Xia Shuyi was disheartened: "Everything I said is true. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I am willing to die as an apology."
After saying that, she put Lu Li aside and resolutely wanted to crash into the pillar on the corridor.
"No!" Lu Ran and Lu Ru cried out in shock and tried to stop it but it was too late.
Fortunately, Shen Liuzheng acted quickly. She rushed over and broke the pillar with one punch. Xia Shuying was deflected and fell directly to the ground.
Everyone present was stunned.
"Did Concubine Shu just break the pillar with one punch?" Lu Yanshi looked at the scene in disbelief, then turned to look at Cao Dehai.
Cao Dehai had never expected that Concubine Shu would do such a thing. He was so frightened that his mouth opened wide enough to fit a fist.
He nodded stupidly: "Yes, I saw it. The Concubine Shu knocked down the pillar with one punch."
Shen Liuzheng walked forward and pulled Xia Shuyi up from the ground.
"If you die, what will happen to Xiaojiu?"
Just one sentence brought Xia Shuyi, who had determined to die, back to life.
Lu Wei and she had a tacit understanding, and she quickly picked up Lu Li from the ground and put him in her arms.
Xia Shuyi held her daughter in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xia just gave birth to your little princess two days ago. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard. It is not appropriate for Concubine Xie to call for war here." Shen Liuzheng stood up.
Xie Ruizhu narrowed her eyes slightly.
You, Shen Liuzheng, must be meddling in other people's business, right?
Then I'll deal with you as well.
"Oh, Your Majesty, I'm scared. Concubine Shu just scared me. If that punch had hit me, I'm afraid I would be separated from Your Majesty forever." Xie Ruizhu hid in Lu Yanshi's arms and cried.
On the surface, he said that he was afraid that Shen Liuzheng would hurt himself, but in fact, he was reminding Lu Yanshi that with such a powerful concubine, do you dare to sleep with her?
