“I have also said that Your Highness had no sympathy for her. He married her only to get the support of the Xu family and to ascend the throne smoothly. But she was not innocent and married Your Highness pregnant with a bastard. Your Highness could not tolerate her. However, Your Highness was a new emperor who had the support of the Xu family. If he executed her and the bastard in her belly so early, it would definitely arouse suspicion and make people think that Your Highness was a mean and ungrateful person. So Your Highness waited for her to give birth to the bastard, and then planned to take the opportunity to execute them and their child, fabricating a difficult labor with heavy bleeding and the death of both mother and child. "Speaking of this, Concubine Shu paused, she smoothed her messy hair and sighed softly, "I wanted to make Queen Zhenxian frightened during her difficult labor, so that there would be two deaths. In the end, Queen Zhenxian really died of hemorrhage, but the premature eldest prince survived. I was originally worried that Your Majesty would miss the old times and would dote on the eldest prince very much, which would threaten my child in the future, so I was thinking about whether to plot to murder the eldest prince again, but Your Majesty treated the eldest prince with great coldness and disgust, so I was relieved and did not act rashly against the eldest prince."
"You...bitch!" Zhong Zhiheng, who had remained calm all this time, now had bloodshot eyes. He pinched Concubine Shu's neck tightly and said with gritted teeth, "Who gave you the courage! Who allowed you to frame my queen and prince? Who gave you the courage! How dare you frame Siyao! Huh?!"
"It was His Majesty who gave it to me... cough cough!" Concubine Shu coughed repeatedly because of his pinching, her face flushed. She grabbed Zhong Zhiheng's hands with great effort, and said hoarsely, "It was His Majesty who gave me the courage. Could it be... cough cough... Could it be that His Majesty doesn't remember it?"
"Bitch! How dare you talk nonsense at this moment!" Zhong Zhiheng was furious. He grabbed Concubine Shu's neck and pushed her forward. Concubine Shu hit her head on the couch with a dull "bang" sound, and then she collapsed to the ground like mud. Zhong Zhiheng was still furious and kicked Concubine Shu several times in succession, saying angrily, "You bitch! How dare you throw dirty water on me? I think you are getting more and more arrogant when you are about to die!"
"Your concubine...what did I say wrong?" Concubine Shu supported herself on the ground with both hands and sat up with difficulty. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at Zhong Zhiheng coldly. "If Your Majesty had no doubts about Empress Zhenxian, how could I dare to sow discord between the Emperor and the Empress? If Your Majesty really had a deep and unbreakable love for Empress Zhenxian, then I would not dare to act rashly! Not only me, but which woman in the harem dares to plot against Empress Zhenxian? It just so happens that Your Majesty seems to have a deep love for Empress Zhenxian, but in fact he is suspicious and has never believed in her innocence. This gave me the opportunity to take advantage of it. This is why I have the opportunity to... How dare you to stir up trouble and sow discord!" At this point, Concubine Shu pursed her lips coldly, and showed Zhong Zhiheng a sinister and sarcastic smile she had never had before, "Your Highness, it was you who killed the Queen Zhenxian, and it was you who was harming the eldest prince from the beginning to the end. Today, you blame it on me, Your Highness, after so many years, you really only know how to vent your anger and put the blame on others. Just because you never reflect on your own mistakes, the Queen Zhenxian's death is worth it. If she doesn't live and is suspected and retaliated by you every day, that would be worse than death! You are the murderer! Your Highness, it was you who killed the Queen Zhenxian!"
"You bitch! Bitch!" Zhong Zhiheng's eyes were wide open, and his beard was shaking with anger. He picked up the three-legged bronze incense burner on the small table and smashed it hard on Concubine Shu's head, once, twice, three times, until Concubine Shu's face was smashed to pieces. He stopped, panting, looking at Concubine Shu's bloody face, and then at the bloody incense burner in his hand. Suddenly, he dropped the incense burner and sat down on the ground.
