What Jiugongting was most worried about was what dangers Jiang Jingyue would face during childbirth, given that she was carrying so many children.
When Jiugongting asked this question, Physician Zhang didn't know how to answer, mainly because he couldn't guarantee anything.
Moreover, he can't guarantee anything about this.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what to say about this matter. I cannot guarantee anything, but I can assure Your Majesty that Her Majesty the Empress will be alright."
What Physician Zhang said did not satisfy Jiu Gongting, but he also knew that at this time, he could not make things too difficult for Physician Zhang.
"Alright, you may leave now! I understand."
At this moment, Su De also came over, came to the emperor's side, and whispered to him.
"Your Majesty, I have found out who poisoned the Empress."
Upon hearing this, Jiu Gongting became very excited. He told Jiang Jingyue what he said and then left.
"Are you sure this was really done by Consort Rou? How dare she? Bring her here to me right now. I want to ask her why she did this."
When Consort Rou was brought here, she was quite happy.
The main reason she was so happy was that she saw the Nine Palaces. She thought the Emperor must have missed her, which was why he had someone bring her here.
Therefore, when Consort Rou saw the Emperor, she was extremely excited.
"Your Majesty, what brings you here? Is there something important you need to discuss with me? I will come to serve you right now."
Consort Rou immediately tried to rush towards the Emperor, but he kicked her away without giving her a chance.
When Consort Rou was kicked away, she was a little stunned. She probably hadn't even realized what was going on yet!
At this moment, Consort Rou was lying on the ground, looking at the Nine Palaces above with a face full of doubt.
"Your Majesty...Why did you kick me? Did I do something wrong?"
At this moment, Consort Rou was still somewhat confused. She moved quickly and crawled over to Jiugongting's side.
This time, however, before she could even touch the hem of Jiugongting's clothes, she was pulled back by someone behind her.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has something to ask you. You should stay here and not go any further."
Consort Rou was pulled back by the people behind her, and she was also very angry.
There was nothing she could do; she looked at the emperor in front of her and said nothing, so she could only dare to be angry but not speak out.
"Your Majesty, what brings you to my court? Just tell me, and I will tell you everything."
Seeing her still acting like this, Jiu Gongting asked in a cold voice.
"Consort Rou, did you do something wrong about the Empress's food?" Consort Rou was stunned when she heard the Emperor's words; she was startled.
She hadn't expected that the Emperor would summon her because of this matter.
At that moment, she was completely panicked. She wanted to make excuses, but perhaps because she was too scared, she couldn't even speak and didn't know how to say it.
Consort Rou hesitated for a while before organizing her thoughts. She looked at the emperor in front of her with some anxiety.
"Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding about this matter. Don't listen to other people's nonsense. How could I possibly be involved in such a thing?"
"Your Majesty, I am overjoyed that Your Majesty has given birth to your son. How could I possibly do anything untoward to you? Your Majesty, you must have misunderstood me."
Consort Rou wasn't stupid; of course she knew that she couldn't admit to this matter no matter what.
If she admitted it, she would not survive. Therefore, Consort Rou knew that at this moment, she could not admit it no matter what.
Seeing her like this, Jiugongting spoke again.
"Consort Rou, I'm giving you one more chance. Do you admit to this matter or not? If you don't, then don't force me anymore."
Did you do this? Do you think I would have brought you here without evidence? Since I've brought you here, there must be some evidence. If you don't confess, what happens next won't be something you can just confess to whenever you want.
"If you want to confess now, I don't want to hear it yet."
When Consort Rou heard the Emperor's words, she felt very flustered. She didn't know why, but she was just very flustered.
She was now unsure whether the emperor's words were true or a ruse.
"Consort Rou, I'll give you one more chance. If you still don't speak up, then I won't be polite to you anymore."
The emperor waited a while longer, and seeing that Consort Rou still showed no intention of speaking, he spoke to Su De, who had been standing beside him.
"Sude, bring the person in! Since Consort Rou is unwilling to speak, there are plenty of others who are willing to."
When Consort Rou heard that there were still people around, she became very anxious.
When Consort Rou saw that the person Su De brought in was Xiao Li, who was by her side, she was so excited that she stood up.
"Xiao...Xiao Li, how could it be you? Don't talk nonsense! Don't forget what you promised me. If you keep talking nonsense, I won't let you off the hook."
Xiaoli was still wearing a veil, mainly because the wound on her face was no longer healing.
She was afraid she would scare people if she didn't wear a veil.
When Xiaoli heard Roufei say this, she smiled disdainfully.
“Your Highness, you no longer need to threaten me with my parents’ affairs, because my parents are safe now.”
Consort Rou didn't believe Xiao Li's words at all. The main reason was that Xiao Li's parents were always under strict surveillance outside the palace, so there was no way any problem could have occurred.
Moreover, if something really happened to Xiaoli's parents, her people would definitely have told her immediately.
She hasn't received any news yet, which means that Xiaoli's parents are still in her hands, so she doesn't need to worry at all.
"Xiaoli, you really need to think this through!"
Xiaoli has thought it through clearly now, and she won't regret it.
So, to the disbelief of Consort Rou, she knelt before the Emperor and spoke.
“Your Majesty, the medicine in the Empress’s drink was added by me, and it was Consort Rou who instructed me to do so.”
When Consort Rou heard this, she became very excited.
She suddenly lunged at Xiaoli.
"Xiaoli, you bitch, what nonsense are you spouting!"
