Shangguan Ziqi's face, which had been gentle just now, immediately turned serious.

"Push me into the study." Shangguan Ziqi ordered.

Qingfeng immediately stepped forward and pushed the wheelchair.

A room next to the bedroom where the couple lived was temporarily used as a study by Shangguan Ziqi.

He did not stop working while recovering from his leg injury.

The pill conspiracy has been ongoing and is still expanding.

He rented a shop in Xicheng District and prepared to open a second shop.

And cooperation with the military also began.

A pill factory can no longer supply it.

He asked for a piece of land from Yangzhuangtou outside this village and is building a workshop, intending to turn it into a pharmaceutical base.

This place is not far from the city, and a horse-drawn carriage only needs to make a trip to the capital every day to deliver the goods.

The eldest prince also knew what they were going to talk about, so he found an excuse to take Yue Yuying away.

As for where to take it, Yu Yuanzheng didn't have the heart to think about it and followed Qingfeng into the study.

Close the door and isolate yourself from the outside.

"Young Master, Madam Young Master, the murderer of the man Madam Young Master met a dozen days ago was the Second Old Madam." Qingfeng got straight to the point.

"Oh..." As expected, Yu Yuanzheng stretched out the sound and said "oh".

Ever since she entered the mansion, the second old lady had been very dissatisfied with her, but no one knew the reason.

Now he is harming her child again, and no one knows why.

The people who should have harmed her child the most should have been Shangguan Zishu and his wife, but it turned out to be the second old lady.

It's so weird.

"How did you find out?" Yu Yuanzheng had never cared about this and left it entirely to Shangguan Ziqi to handle.

“Replying to Madam Young Master, it was the eldest master who came up with this idea.

The business of Tokuri-dang has been very good recently, and its tranquilizing pills are selling very well.

Once, Miss Ling bought some for the second old lady as a gift to her. The second old lady was very satisfied with the effect after using it, and she has been using it ever since.

The eldest son asked us to prepare a bottle of medicine that looked no different from the one she was using and exchange it for it.

There was a hallucinogenic drug in it, and a few of us servants took turns lying on the roof of the second old lady's bedroom every night to eavesdrop.

We didn't expect to hear this from her sleep talking.

At first we suspected it was the Crown Prince's Consort, and we gave her the same medicine, but we heard nothing, and the same thing happened to Consort Luo, who also heard nothing."

"You really are, but this cannot be used as evidence. It only means that we know who wants to harm me."

"Yes, but at least we know who it is. We can deal with it slowly later." Shangguan Ziqi explained.

"What did she talk in her sleep?" Yu Yuanzheng was quite curious.

“The Second Old Lady should have received the news of your failure that day.

When we got back, she had already sent the bad guys away and we didn't catch her red-handed.

We used the drug that night, but because it took a while, we heard nothing.

But it was only after several days, when she became increasingly irritable and began to have nightmares, that we heard a little bit of it.

Her sleep talking was somewhat incoherent.

Then he said: Damn little whore.

One moment he said: She is not worthy of marrying the prince's child.

After a while, he said: She is going to ruin my plan.

After a while he said: Ziqi shouldn't have woken up, why didn't the King of Hell take him away?

We listened to this for several nights in a row, and it was basically the same words.

We judged from these words that she wanted to harm the eldest son and the eldest young lady."

Qingfeng told them everything they had heard.

"Husband, why? Why would she want to harm you and me? What's in it for her?" Yu Yuanzheng could not figure it out.

"I don't know either." Shangguan Ziqi couldn't figure it out either.

"I still think that the Crown Prince is not the son of the King, but the son of the Second House. This is the only possibility that makes sense. Otherwise, how do you explain the Second Old Lady's abnormal behavior?"

"But the king said that Zishu is his child, and we can't find any evidence for this." Ever since Yu Yuanzheng mentioned this last time, Shangguan Ziqi asked the king alone again.

The answer was affirmative.

It’s hard to say.

"Don't you believe in blood tests? How about letting Prince Xu and the Crown Prince do it?" Although Yu Yuanzheng knew that this method would not work, she thought of this idea.

"Don't forget, if Zishu is really the second uncle's child, then it is also compatible, because the second uncle and the king are brothers."

"But they have different mothers."

"My second uncle's aunt and the prince's aunt have the same father." Shangguan Ziqi said.

"Alas, this road is blocked." Yu Yuanzheng sighed.

"The fox will reveal its tail sooner or later. Now we know that she wants to harm us. We must be more cautious in the future. Once we find evidence, we will beat her into the mud once again." Shangguan Ziqi also hated the second old lady.

Before he left, he didn't feel how annoying the second old lady was. She was nice to him at the time, no different from his second brother. But since he fell into a coma, she has become a completely different person. After waking up, he couldn't help but hate her for her attitude towards his wife.

"So you're just letting her go for now?"

"Well, play the long game and catch the big fish. This is not as simple as it seems on the surface." Shangguan Ziqi had a hunch that there was a conspiracy behind this, because among the assassins who assassinated the genius doctor at that time, there was a Canglan citizen.

There is no way to explain this.

The Second Old Lady had no reason to cooperate with the Canglan people.

"Okay, since you have a plan, I won't care. I'll be more careful next time.

My darlings, you have to be strong too, otherwise you will encounter someone who wants to harm you before you even get out of bed.

But you also have to believe that your parents can protect you." Yu Yuanzheng said as she turned to her belly.

Her belly was already noticeably bulging.

"Hey, the babies can hear me talking, and they are moving again." Yu Yuanzheng shouted excitedly.

Shangguan Ziqi waved to Qingfeng and the others.

The couple began to interact with the baby in their belly again.

And the other side.

The eldest prince took Yue Yuying for a walk outside the manor.

"My lord, let me push you." Yue Yuying asked shyly.

"Um."

The two walked one after the other on the country road.

It was already the end of October and the weather was gradually getting colder.

There were not many leaves left on the distant hill, but the cowherds were still playing on the hill, and their laughter could be heard from afar.

The eldest prince was in a very peaceful mood at this time.

He was almost twenty-three years old. No longer a young boy.

He is very rational.

His legs have improved significantly after more than a month of treatment by Yu Yuanzheng.

When the guard was massaging his legs last night, he already felt something and might be able to stand up soon.

And once he can stand up, it means he has to shoulder his responsibilities.

The emperor has always been training him as his heir, and would never let the prince of Prince Rong's mansion be his companion in study.

This is an unwritten agreement of the Wei Dynasty.

Almost every emperor had the prince of Rong Palace as his study companion.

The two became friends since childhood and jointly ruled the Wei Dynasty.

Prince Rong may not seem to have much power, but in reality he does.

He knew that if an emperor was a tyrant, Prince Rong had the right to appoint a new emperor. If the emperor did not have time to appoint a new emperor after his death, Prince Rong also had the right to appoint a new emperor on behalf of the emperor. This was a rule set by the ancestors, and only every emperor and Prince Rong knew this.

And he just happened to know this by chance.

In fact, many people in the royal family guessed privately, but until now, there has been no news of Prince Rong appointing a new monarch.

"Crown Prince, why don't you ask the miracle doctor in Beijing to treat your leg?" Yue Yuying suddenly spoke up, interrupting the crown prince's thoughts.

"Do you hope that my legs will be okay?" The eldest prince smiled and turned to look at his wife Yue Yuying.
