Hearing this, Helian Jue straightened his slightly wrinkled outer robe.
"Go to the side hall, I'll be right there."
Outside the door, Eunuch Wang quickly bowed to Concubine Zhuang and said, "Your Highness, please come to the side hall."
Concubine Zhuang nodded, and the senior palace maid behind her took Concubine Shu and followed her to the side hall.
Eunuch Wang took a deep breath when he saw Concubine Shu's slightly swollen face. Concubine Zhuang was really cruel.
Look at the one for Concubine Shu.
Inside the house, Helian Jue tidied up his clothes, got a soft pillow for Qin Yanning to lean on so that she could lean more comfortably, and covered the two children with small quilts.
If the Wan family and King Liang hadn't rushed to cause trouble, he really wouldn't want to leave Qin Yanning and the two children for a moment.
Qin Yanning couldn't stand seeing Helian Jue's useless look any more, so he said with a smile, "Go quickly, Concubine Zhuang is still waiting."
Helian Jue then reluctantly left Qin Yanning and the two children and went to the side hall.
In the side hall, Concubine Shu was kicked in the knee by Concubine Zhuang's maid. Her legs immediately went weak and she knelt on the ground.
Concubine Zhuang stood by and looked at Concubine Shu quietly. Concubine Shu spat at Concubine Zhuang.
"Zhuang Nian, don't you love His Majesty the most? Getting rid of those two little bastards born to Qin would also be good for you, wouldn't it?"
"Why are you her dog now, helping her deal with me? Is it because you are a loyal dog that she will take pity on you and give you some of His Majesty?"
"Zhuang Nian, you are so despicable!"
Concubine Zhuang's maid could no longer bear it and angrily asked, "Who allowed you to say that about our queen?"
Concubine Zhuang waved her hand and said, "It's okay."
Concubine Zhuang looked at Concubine Shu with an indifferent expression.
"When I was young, I did love Your Majesty, but now I don't love you anymore."
"No matter what your motives are, Lady Ning's two children are innocent. Are you going to use their lives as stepping stones for your ambitions?"
When Concubine Shu heard Concubine Zhuang say this, she was stunned at first, and then she laughed.
"You're such a hypocrite, Mr. Zhuang! Did you know that my biological brother was exiled to Mobei because of that bitch?"
"I just went to her Tingyuxuan once, and Your Majesty stripped me of my title of Imperial Concubine. I've worked so hard in the palace for so many years, how can I not hate you!"
Before Concubine Zhuang could say anything to refute, Helian Jue kicked open the door of the side hall.
"Wan Yunshu, are you still blaming others for all your mistakes?"
"If your brother Wanbao hadn't bullied men and women before, would I have exiled him?"
"If you didn't rely on your status as a noble concubine to act tyrannically in this palace, would I deprive you of your position as a noble concubine?"
When Concubine Shu saw Helian Jue come in, she looked at him blankly and said nothing more.
Helian Jue looked at Concubine Zhuang and asked, "Have you confessed?"
Concubine Zhuang nodded.
"The group of midwives that Your Majesty had previously found bribed the family of one of the midwives and sent the clothes of a child infected with smallpox into the palace."
Helian Jue was shocked when he heard this, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He never expected that Concubine Shu would use such a vicious plan.
Concubine Shu looked at Helian Jue and sneered, "I know I can't escape death, but with your two children accompanying me on my journey to the underworld, I won't be lonely."
Concubine Zhuang looked at Helian Jue and said, "I didn't tell her that it wasn't those midwives who delivered Ning'er."
When Concubine Shu heard Concubine Zhuang say this, she was completely stunned. She thought she had succeeded!
You have to know that smallpox is extremely toxic, and a newborn baby who contracts it is almost deadly. She had already made up her mind to die, so she told this story.
She wanted to see Helian Jue and Qin Yanning in pain and helplessness before she died.
But now Concubine Zhuang says that the person who delivered that little bitch was not hers!
Concubine Shu got up and tried to grab Concubine Zhuang, but was pushed to the ground by Concubine Zhuang's maid.
Shufei's face was pressed against the ground. Her originally pretty face now looked a little distorted.
"Zhuang Nian, you bitch, how dare you lie to me! You will die a miserable death!"
Helian Jue looked at Concubine Zhuang, as if asking her what she had lied to Concubine Shu about.
Concubine Zhuang laughed and said, "Just some small interrogation tricks."
"I promised Concubine Shu that if she told me the truth, no matter what the final outcome would be, I would use the Zhuang family's golden medal of immunity from death to save her parents' lives."
Concubine Zhuang took out a note from her sleeve and tore it into pieces with both hands.
"We've even signed a document."
When Concubine Shu saw Concubine Zhuang tearing the note into pieces, her eyes were about to spit fire.
If Concubine Zhuang had never lied, she would not have believed that she had succeeded and told everything.
She thought that at the very least, she could drag the two Qin children to hell with her!
Unexpectedly, one wrong move led to failure at every step.
Concubine Zhuang glanced at Concubine Shu coldly and said, "I really never lie to anyone, because most of the people I've lied to are dead."
Concubine Zhuang's eyes were so cold that they sent chills down Concubine Shu's spine.
Concubine Zhuang bowed to Helian Jue and said, "I have done what I should do. Please leave the rest to Your Majesty. I will go see Ning'er first."
Helian Jue nodded, indicating that Concubine Zhuang could leave.
Concubine Zhuang and the senior palace maid left the side hall without even looking back.
As soon as they left the side hall, Concubine Zhuang said, "Please bring me a basin of hot water so I can wash my hands. Don't let the two children get dirty."
The head palace maid hurried to get water for Concubine Zhuang.
Listening to the voice in the side hall, Concubine Zhuang narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she hated evil, she was too lazy to intervene if this matter was not related to Qin Yanning.
Now in her heart, Qin Yanning, the comrade who co-founded the girls' school with her, is much more important than Helian Jue, a stinky man.
