Doctor Xu was sweating profusely. This was the first time he had seen such a situation in Shangguandu.

It was as if someone was operating something in secret.

His first reaction was voodoo dolls, but these things were expressly prohibited by the imperial court.

Without substantial evidence, Doctor Xu did not dare to speak carelessly.

In desperation, Doctor Xu had to ask Eunuch Yu to place all the objects that the emperor had touched today in front of him.

Eunuch Yu had followed Shangguandu for so many years that he quickly understood what Doctor Xu meant.

He hurriedly asked everyone in the bedroom to carefully bring over all the items that Shangguan Du had just touched.

Doctor Xu took a look at all the items in front of him, and then looked at the eunuchs and palace maids who brought the things over.

After making sure that no one else had the same problem, Doctor Xu began to investigate carefully.

Shangguan Yu had lost interest long ago due to the pain from the silver needles and was now lying on the bed groaning.

Since he no longer felt pain, the emperor, who was connected to him by heart, naturally also felt no pain.

Soon, Shangguan Du recovered, but Doctor Xu still did not find anything suspicious.

Shangguan Du sat down again, looked at the busy Doctor Xu in front of him, and asked.

"Doctor Xu, what happened to me just now?"

Doctor Xu couldn't find any reason, but he was afraid that Shangguan Du would be suspicious, so he spoke cryptically.

"Your Majesty, I am a foolish and incompetent official. I have not detected any signs of illness or poisoning in your body."

Shangguan Du's face was cold, "Then what happened to me just now?"

Doctor Xu said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, your symptoms look like you've been stabbed by a figurine."

After Doctor Xu finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. Shangguan Du's face became even colder.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This humble servant is just speculating and has no real evidence."

"But according to your humble observation, when Your Majesty first became ill, it was indeed as if someone had stabbed you."

Shangguandu and Doctor Xu naturally didn't know that the person who stabbed Shangguandu was none other than Doctor Xu, who always claimed to be the one stabbing the villain.

Shangguan Du's face became increasingly gloomy. He had just begun to seek the art of immortality, and someone dared to stab his villain. How could he tolerate this?

At this moment, even if Doctor Xu had made a misdiagnosis, Shangguan Du would not let it go easily.

"Come here, have the Imperial Guards search all the palaces. I want to see who is so bold."

The emperor gave the order and the imperial guards quickly took action. The queen was in Ye Xiaoxiao's bedroom playing with the child.

After hearing Qing Ning and Zi Yuan's reports, he quickly exchanged glances with Ye Xiaoxiao.

"It seems that our Majesty has a clue. I have to go back and assist him."

After the queen finished speaking, she stood up and took Qing Ning and Zi Yuan back to her Yongkun Palace.

The Imperial Guards have already conducted a large-scale search in the harem, and many concubines have gathered in the Queen's Yongkun Palace.

Seeing this, the queen had to come forward to explain to avoid causing panic.

"Don't be nervous, sisters. I just lost a very important jade pendant."

"Your Majesty couldn't bear to see me sad, so he sent people to look for me."

"Everyone, please go back first. If you find anything, please don't forget to bring it to me."

The concubines were all very suspicious, especially Concubine Xian, who knew best how the Emperor treated the Empress.

But now, the emperor was searching the palace, and she was busy cleaning up after herself, so she had no time to mock the queen.

It turned out that in order to get pregnant with the emperor's child as soon as possible, Concubine Xian had been going out early and coming back late every day.

Later, Wang Weimin was worried that it would be dangerous for her to leave the palace, so the two agreed to meet in the palace.

At this moment, Wang Weimin was hiding in the secret passage in her bedroom, and she didn't want to be found by the royal guards.

Seeing Concubine Xian leaving in a hurry, the corners of the Queen's lips curled up slightly, barely perceptible.

The queen winked at Qingning, who understood and quietly retreated.

Ever since Shangguan Du began researching immortality, he has rarely cared about the affairs of the court.

Shangguan Lingyun was helping to review memorials. When he heard Wang Xiao's report, a smile suddenly flashed across his face.

"Is Wang Weimin still in the palace?"

Wang Xiao nodded, and Shangguan Lingyun curled his lips.

"I'm sure the Queen Mother will take advantage of the chaos to make a move. Send a few people to help her and don't let Wang Weimin escape."

"By the way, send the voodoo doll to Prince Yu's mansion. I'm sure my father won't let me down."

Xue Yi nodded, turned and left. Shangguan Lingyun put down the memorial and returned to his own bedroom.

Seeing Shangguan Lingyun coming back, a smile flashed across Ye Xiaoxiao's face.

"Are you planning to close the net?"

Shangguan Lingyun said nothing, walked to Ye Xiaoxiao and picked up their son.

"These two children have suffered for nothing. As a father, how can I not do something?"

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at her daughter in her arms, making her giggle.

"Tomorrow is the day I return home. The palace is in such chaos right now, I plan to stay back for a few days."

It would be fine if there were too many people in the palace, but the huge palace was always empty, and she felt that it was not as comfortable to live in her own side courtyard.

Shangguan Lingyun understood what she meant, but now that she was the Crown Princess, she would have to get used to this kind of life sooner or later.

Besides, Shangguan Lingyun knew that she had never given up the idea of ​​leaving secretly, and he was not at ease letting Ye Xiaoxiao leave with the child alone.

"I feel uneasy when you and the child are not with me."

"If you want to go back, I will go back with you."

When Ye Xiaoxiao heard this, she quickly waved her hands.

"Now that he's no longer in charge and is ill, you have to take care of all the palace affairs. You'd better forget it."
