“Um…” Chu Xuanlin still didn’t dodge, but just groaned and called her pleadingly, “Mother…”

Concubine Shu was jealous and hateful, "I have to deny it several times before you can remember that I didn't kill your son."

She was jealous that Concubine Xian had the mother-son relationship with Chu Xuanlin, and hated that Chu Xuanlin had never been so intimate with her, his biological mother.

Although he was still young and didn't recognize his biological mother when he was adopted, he had grown up after returning to her.

She had worked so hard to get him back from Concubine Xian, so why didn't he remember her kindness at all and refused to get close to her?

The virtuous concubine was still upset. "You embroidered the sachet yourself. It was not made by anyone else. Who else could have put such a dirty thing there besides you?"

The year after the wedding in the previous life, Mo Zhaohua and Chu Xuanhan went to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, but this did not happen, and no one knew about the old events of that year.

Now that she heard that it was for the children, she sighed. Whether it was in the harem or in the backyard, they always liked to target innocent children.

If Chu Xuanchi was forced to take a concubine after he stood up, and she couldn't divorce him, she could only fake her death to seek peace and never get involved in the fight in the backyard.

In her previous life, from the Eastern Palace to the Fengyi Palace, she had seen too many palace fights and was forced to get involved in the process. She didn't want to repeat the same mistakes in this life.

Concubine Shu calmly explained, "I only put some spices in it to calm the nerves. As for the other things, anyone around you can put them in."

The virtuous concubine screamed like a madman, "No, it's you, it's you, I will kill your son and avenge my son, go to hell!"

"Hmm..." But the scissors in her hand did not stab Chu Xuanlin this time, but she let out a muffled groan and let go of the scissors.

Chu Xuanlin watched Concubine Xian suddenly fall forward powerlessly, and quickly reached out to support her, shouting in surprise, "Concubine Xianmother?"

Chu Xuanchi's voice sounded clear and cold, "She's fine, she just fainted temporarily."

Just now, at the critical moment, he took off the Buddhist beads on his wrist, picked one and attacked Concubine Xian.

He rested for a whole year, and although he tried to control himself, his internal injuries had healed a lot and his internal strength had recovered a lot.

Although the Buddhist beads were small, it was not difficult to knock out the virtuous concubine with the help of his internal strength, and he could still do it.

Chu Xuanlin turned around when he heard the voice and saw that he had arrived at the entrance of the hall without knowing when. He hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Fifth Brother."

Chu Xuanchi said calmly, "Brother, there is no need to be so polite, but how could the guards not think of such a trick?"

The guards are also divided into different ranks. Those in the palace are of course stronger than those in the Prince Yu’s Palace, especially the first-class guards with swords, who are masters in their field.

Although there are no first-class guards here, it is definitely possible to use internal force to shoot out an object and knock out the virtuous concubine.

A guard reported back, "I tried it before, but Her Majesty the Concubine dodged it, and then she used His Royal Highness the Prince of Rui as a shield."

Another guard added, "The Concubine Xian is from the General's Mansion, and her martial arts skills are very good, so she is very defensive."

Another guard said, "I was just waiting for an opportunity, and was cautious because I was afraid I would miss the target, but Your Highness made the first move."

"Forget it, it's good that the matter has been resolved." Although Chu Xuanchi asked Wuying to investigate the palace concubine, he didn't pay much attention to it because the virtuous concubine had no children.

The imperial physician had been waiting on the side. Seeing that Concubine Xian had fainted, he hurried into the hall carrying a medicine box, ready to treat Chu Xuanlin's injuries.

Defei reminded that it was inconvenient because there were female relatives here, so she ordered the palace servants to help Chu Xuanlin to lie down in the side hall, and the imperial physician followed.

Since Concubine Xian was not seriously injured, she was helped to the bedroom by the palace maid. After the imperial physician finished treating Chu Xuanlin, he would come to check on her condition.

There was a chaise longue in the side hall, but Chu Xuanlin was injured in both front and back, so he couldn't lie down and could only sit and let the imperial physician treat him.

Empress Jingren and others sat in the outer room of the side hall behind a pearl curtain, patiently waiting for the results of the imperial physician's treatment.

Concubine Liang had just been meeting her mother's family in her own palace, and Chu Xuanhan was also there, so it was not convenient for her to leave her relatives and friends behind and come here.

When they hurriedly arrived, everything was over. They bowed to the queen and sat down to wait.

Mo Zhaohua looked around quietly and found that among the concubines above the rank of imperial concubine, only Concubine Chunhui was not there, even Concubine Ning was there.

In the side hall, the sound of embroidery needles dropping to the ground could be heard quietly. Suddenly, outside came the sound of kneeling and bowing. It turned out to be the arrival of Emperor Wenzong.

According to the rules, someone would usually come first to pass on the message. Now that no one has come, it must be the intention of Emperor Wenzong.

When everyone heard the noise, they stood up and went out to welcome the emperor. In addition to Emperor Wenzong, Concubine Chunhui was also present.

The moment Empress Jingren learned that Emperor Wenzong was coming, she knew that it must be Concubine Chunhui who intended to pass the news to the previous dynasty.

After all, Concubine Chunhui loved to go against her and wished to replace her. She had openly disobeyed her orders more than once or twice.

Emperor Wenzong walked into the side hall with a gloomy face. After sitting down, he looked at Empress Jingren coldly and asked, "What's going on?"

Empress Jingren felt a little depressed, guessing that Concubine Chunhui took the opportunity to fan the flames and made Emperor Wenzong dissatisfied with her.

She maintained her dignity and explained the situation in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It was Concubine Xian who had a hysterical attack..."

Emperor Wenzong came here specially because he knew that Concubine Xian was ill. After hearing this, he asked with concern, "How is the seventh elder's injury?"

Empress Jingren replied, "The imperial physician is treating Lin'er. He needs to take off his clothes, so it is not appropriate for me and others to be present."

Emperor Wenzong was furious. "The virtuous concubine is really getting more and more outrageous. Today is the first day of the new year. How can we see bloodshed?"

Empress Jingren took the opportunity to explain, "That is why I ordered that the news should not be passed on to the previous court and not be known to the civil and military officials."

Concubine Chunhui said coldly: "The Queen is wrong. Such a major event should indeed be kept secret from the court officials, but not from Your Majesty."

Queen Jingren countered calmly, "I didn't mean to hide it from Your Majesty. I just wanted to handle it and then inform Your Majesty of the result."

Imperial Concubine Chunhui said sarcastically, "In that case, it is my fault. I have been a villain in vain and have offended Her Majesty the Queen."

Emperor Wenzong was too lazy to judge who was right and who was wrong, and simply scolded them, "Enough, stop talking."

The imperial physician's treatment had not yet ended when someone came out to report that Chu Xuanlin's chest wound was quite deep and almost hit a vital part.

Emperor Wenzong frowned and ordered sternly, "Who is responsible for Concubine Xian's hysteria? Bring the person to me immediately."

The visitor bowed his head and reported, "Your Majesty, it is Imperial Physician Xu. He is still inside treating His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

Emperor Wenzong guessed that it was Doctor Xu, and angrily said, "Tell him to come out and see me immediately after he finishes the treatment!"

When Imperial Physician Xu heard Emperor Wenzong's voice inside, he was so frightened that his hands trembled. He knew there was no escape.

By the time the treatment was over, Chu Xuanlin had fainted due to blood loss and pain, so he gave the guards some instructions.

When Emperor Wenzong saw him coming out, he asked in a deep voice, "How is Prince Rui doing?"
