“Do you also think that Aunt killed her because she wanted to snatch the child in her stomach?” Song Li asked.

Without waiting for Song Jingchen to speak, Shangguan Han said anxiously,

“How can Mother be that kind of person?”

Song Li didn’t say anything and only looked at Song Jingchen.

Song Jingchen shook his head. “It’s precisely because I don’t believe it that I came to ask Aunt.’

That’s right. Why didn’t that child ask her personally?

Song Li closed her eyes and said with trembling lips, “But Concubine Li’s death is indeed related to me.”

That day, after escaping death from the emperor’s sword and knowing that everything was done by Shangguan Yu, she was angry and resentful.

However, after knowing why he did those things, Song Li began to fall into deep suspicion and self-blame.

She wondered if she had really done something wrong back then.

If she hadn’t done that, her father and brother wouldn’t have…

Shangguan Han’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Mother.”

“I did give her the medicine because of that child.” Song Li’s eyes turned red. She turned her head away, not daring to look into Shangguan Han’s eyes.

The room fell into dead silence.

After a long time, Song Li finally calmed down. She took a deep breath and continued, “Back then, Concubine Li, who was still a palace maid, was doted on by the emperor. Not long after, news of her pregnancy spread. She naturally rose from a palace maid to a concubine in the emperor’s harem.”

“This was originally a good thing. I didn’t expect that after she was conferred the title, something would happen to her frequently. In the worst case, she was even pushed into the pond and almost died.

The harem was a place of deception. At that time, I only thought that other concubines were jealous that she was pregnant with a dragon heir and bullied her for not having a backer. As the master of the harem, I naturally couldn’t ignore it, but no matter how I investigated, I couldn’t find the culprit.

“Just in case, I made the decision to move her to Kunning Palace to recuperate and eat and live with me. As expected, this didn’t happen again.”

Shen Yijia blinked. Wasn’t she protecting Concubine Li? Why would she harm her when she was about to give birth?

Seeing her confusion, Song Li smiled bitterly. “I also thought that I was protecting her, but I never expected that the person who attacked her was none other than herself.’

“That’s why I couldn’t find anything no matter how hard I tried.”

Be it falling for no reason or jumping into the pond, she would dismiss the people around her in advance. Naturally, she would not leave any evidence behind.

“Concubine Li doesn’t want to give birth to the emperor’s son at all, but murdering the emperor’s heir is a capital offense. What she did would be equivalent to looking down on the emperor’s authority. If others find out, they’ll definitely implicate the family who sent her to the palace,” Song Jingchen guessed.

From the looks of it, Nangong Xia must have volunteered to replace Miss Sun in the palace in order not to be found by the emperor of the Wu Kingdom.

She didn’t want to implicate her savior. She couldn’t let anyone know about these things.

However, she would never have thought that Yan Guangmao would silence the Sun family who had saved her in order to hide her whereabouts.

The news that the Sun family was gone was spread by One Dot and the people of Yang Shu Village.

Apart from Yan Guangmao, there was no need to think about who did it.

Song Li nodded. “By the time I found out the truth, it was already too late. She found the medicine from somewhere and wanted to kill the full-term child.”

Song Li still remembered the smell of blood when she pushed open the door. The glaring red color, the empty bowl placed at the side, and Concubine Li’s curses.

At that moment, what else did she not understand?

She was the one who brought Concubine Li into Kunning Palace. If anything happened to the child in her stomach, the emperor would definitely blame her. It was impossible for Concubine Li not to think of this.

Now that she thought about it, Concubine Li probably blamed her for being nosy back then, so she thought of a way to take revenge on her.

Actually, at that time, she could have exposed Concubine Li’s actions.

However, she had protected that child for ten months. She had felt his heartbeat in her palm through Concubine Li’s stomach many times.

If things really got out of hand, how would that child face his future?

Not to mention whether the emperor would abandon him because of his biological mother.

What about himself?

How sad would he be to know that his existence was disliked or even hated by his biological mother?

Therefore, she did not do that. Instead, she used a bowl of medicine to force Concubine Li to give birth to the child..
