Coming out of the Purple Palace, the Imperial Concubine looked at Huicairen behind her with displeasure, "You've always been timid, yet you're willing to speak up for Concubine Yi."

Huicairen supported her waist and walked with some difficulty. "I am not speaking for Concubine Yi, I just feel that Concubine Yi is a little pitiful."

The Imperial Concubine sneered, "Concubine Yi is superior to you in terms of family background, favor, and status. Do you really need her to feel pity for you?"

"Yes." Hui Cairen lowered her head and murmured, "I am not as good as Concubine Yi, but as a mother, my heart is the same."

Hearing this, the imperial concubine was silent for a long time before she spoke: "You pity her, but who will pity you? Concubine Yi's misfortune today is simply fate, and no one can do anything about it."

"Your Majesty is right."

"By the way, my father sent some things in a few days ago, including a wild ginseng. I've kept it for you and will have it delivered to your palace later."

Huicairen smiled lightly, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

"It's cold, and you're not feeling well. Go back and rest."

"Yes, I respectfully send you off, Your Majesty."

After watching the imperial concubine leave, Huicairen felt very depressed and turned to the palace maid beside her and said, "Let's go to the imperial garden to relax."

Huayang Palace.

Since returning, Fu Xiyu has been sitting on the couch without saying a word. Lingyun is anxious but dares not say a word. It is Baozhan who bravely asks, "Madam, do you have any plans for today? Are you really going to let that old charlatan talk nonsense?"

Fu Qianyu took a deep breath, a sharp look flashing in her eyes. "I just find it strange. In the past, the chief envoy, Lord Dugu, always reported on celestial phenomena. Why did the deputy envoy come today?"

Haining stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, I heard that Master Gudu has been ill for several days and is now unable to even get out of bed."

Fu Qianyu narrowed her eyes and snorted coldly, "That's really a coincidence."

Lingyun stepped forward and asked, "My Lady, what do you mean?"

"I suspect that what happened today was deliberately done by someone."

"Intentional?"

Everyone in the room was stunned. Fu Qianyu said coldly, "Think about it carefully. The emperor has always been in good health, and the imperial physician takes his pulse every day. How could he suddenly faint out of nowhere, and the Imperial Hospital can't find the cause?"

Baozan sighed: "Could it be that someone poisoned the emperor?"

"impossible."

Haining decisively denied Baozhan's words and said slowly, "When the Emperor eats, he must have the food tasted by a eunuch before it is served to him half an hour later. Since the eunuchs are fine, how could the Emperor fall asleep? There must be no problem with the food."

"If it wasn't poisoned, then what else could it be?"

Haining lowered his head in thought, and suddenly an answer came to his mind. "Your Majesty, I have a bold guess. Perhaps the Emperor fainted not from poisoning, but from taking some kind of medicine. This medicine will not harm the Emperor's body, but will only make the Emperor sleepy."

Baozhan asked curiously, "If it's according to what you said, there's no way the Imperial Hospital can't find it, right?"

"What if the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital was bribed?"

Haining narrowed his eyes and spoke in a grave tone, "If today's events were all planned in advance, then the Imperial Physician and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory are the key figures. These two are working together to abort the dragon fetus in the Empress's womb."

Lingyun felt a chill run down her spine. "What a vicious mind! Who on earth wants to harm the Empress?"

Fu Qianyu's pretty face was cold. "I remember that before the concubines arrived, only the Queen was guarding the Purple Palace. She was also the first to discover that the Emperor was ill."

"yes."

Fu Qianyu lowered her head, a hint of shrewdness on her cautious face: "Haining, do you know anyone in the Imperial Hospital?"

"No, but money makes the world go round. As long as you spend money, there will be people working for you."

"Okay, the money in Huayang Palace is at your disposal. Go to the Imperial Hospital and find a suitable doctor to cure Lord Dugu's illness first. After all, the words of the chief envoy are more persuasive than those of the deputy envoy."

"I will do it immediately."

After Haining left, Fu Qianyu called Xiao Guizi in again, "Go out of the palace this afternoon and find out everything about Fan Li, especially whether he has had any contact with anyone in the palace during this period."

“Yeah.”

Xiao Guizi took the order and left. Fu Qianyu looked at Baozan again and said, "Keep a close eye on the movements in the various palaces, especially Fengqi Palace. I think if this was done by the Queen, then her subordinates will definitely contact the Imperial Hospital, especially Jinmei, who is the Queen's confidant."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will keep a close eye on the movements in each palace."

Several people left, leaving only Fu Qianyu and Ling Yun in the room.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. God is watching over anyone who harms others. You and the little prince will be safe."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Qianyu felt the baby in her belly kick her.

The frost on her face melted away, and an infinite tenderness surged up, "Don't be afraid, my son. Mother will protect you well."

The people in Huayang Palace were very efficient and had found out everything about their respective tasks by dark.

Haining met Qin Zhaochuan, the newly appointed imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

He had just taken office today and was not clear about what had happened in the palace. When Haining approached him, Qin Zhaochuan agreed without thinking.

As for Xiao Guizi, she also gained a lot.

"Your Majesty, I've learned all about Fan Li. He's a complete charlatan, a womanizer and gambler, and is swamped with debt. Earlier this year, Madam Fan divorced him and returned to her parents' home with her son. I went to the gambling house he frequented, and the owner said that three days ago, Fan Li paid off several hundred taels of gambling debt in one fell swoop."
