This movement startled everyone in the room.

"What's going on, Empress Chen..." Doctor Sun and the others were shocked.

Ning Wanyin stared at the silver needle in the imperial physician's hand and said:

"Please take a look, Doctor Sun. Is there anything strange about the needle? Doctor Sun, please be careful and don't touch it with your hands."

This Imperial Physician Liu is the person that Ning Wanyin asked Xiao Xiazi to keep an eye on.

When Ning Wanyin found out that he was on the list of people coming to Yonghe Palace today, she immediately became highly alert.

When the imperial physician enters the palace, he will perform a physical examination, test medicine, and use silver needles according to palace rules...

Since he was able to reach Yonghe Palace smoothly, this Imperial Physician Liu must have been examined.

But Ning Wanyin had a hunch that this person must be no simple person.

So he asked Xiao Xiazi to hide on the beam of the house early in the morning to provide support.

The imperial doctors took the pulses of the palace maids one by one, and the three of them verified each other's experience. This imperial doctor Liu was the third one to take Lian Rui's pulse. When he gave Lian Rui acupuncture, others thought he was deliberately trying to please the maid next to Concubine Chen, but Ning Wanyin guessed...

There might be something wrong with this silver needle!

Although logically, the silver needle should have been checked.

Doctor Sun carefully held the silver needle with a small clip, looked at it, placed it in a porcelain bowl, and poured in some medicine powder and water.

Suddenly, the tip of the silver needle turned dark green.

Doctor Sun was shocked and said, "This is plague! This silver needle was used on patients infected with the plague..."

Everyone was frightened and moved away from the silver needle.

…

Wu Mi, the eunuch in charge of punishment at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, rushed over upon hearing the news.

After a careful inspection, Wu Mi found a very ingenious mechanism on the silver needle box and reported:

"My lady, there is a secret compartment in this silver needle box. There is a row of silver needles on the surface, and another set of silver needles is hidden in the secret compartment."

"He opened the silver needle on the surface before, so he got away with it."

This is a serious matter.

Helian Qi, who was originally discussing matters in Ganxin Palace, was also alarmed and immediately came to Yonghe Palace.

Imperial Physician Liu refused to admit anything.

But Wu Mi carefully checked his palace entry records:

"Imperial Physician Liu entered the palace two days ago to check on Concubine Jing of Mingde Palace. He entered the palace five days ago to examine the twenty-four departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"President Zhao said that he took the initiative to take the pulse of Concubine Jing."

"I checked his place of origin. He is from the southwest. He was admitted to the Imperial Hospital a year ago."

A fellow villager of Concubine Jing took the initiative to check on her pulse.

Before he attacked Yonghe Palace, he had only seen Concubine Jing in the palace.

It seems that it was Concubine Jing who ordered it.

But at this moment, Xiao Xiazi stepped forward and said, "This man secretly met with Suxian, the chief maid of Shuyu Garden, when he was consulting with the various officials five days ago. Because they were far away, I don't know what they talked about."

Xiao Xia Zi is the emperor's man. If used well, she will be the best eyewitness.

So whenever Ning Wanyin investigated something that didn't need to be hidden from the emperor, she used Xiao Xiazi.

Helian Qi's face was as gloomy as water. "Call Hui Zhaoyi and Jingpin over."

Xiao Yunyao, who was under house arrest, and Jingpin, who was taking care of a sick woman, were brought over at the same time.

Learn the whole story of the case...

Concubine Jing wanted to kill Xiao Yunyao!

This time it really wasn't her who instigated it! Even if she had such a "good idea", she wouldn't dare to instigate Xiao Yunyao to do it!

Because once the epidemic spreads in the palace, what if it is not just Yonghe Palace that will be affected?

Ning Wanyin has fallen, who will take care of the harem?

Xiao Yunyao was really crazy. In order to kill Ning Wanyin, she didn't care about anyone's life or death.

"Your Majesty, I have never met Dr. Liu before!" Concubine Jing knelt on the ground, looked at Helian Qi sincerely, and said:

"Two days ago, although he came to check on my pulse, I did not summon him. I just thought he was assigned by the Imperial Hospital. I really don't know what he would do."

"It was this maid from Shuyu Garden who met him in private, and then he came to feel my pulse. I suspect someone was deliberately instigating this!"

Xiao Yunyao never expected...

Even Imperial Physician Liu could mess up her secret plan.

If the people in Yonghe Palace had not discovered the silver needles on the spot, when they were infected with the disease, they would not be able to find the source, nor would they be able to trace the cause.

Unexpectedly...

The scene of her sending Su Xian to find Imperial Physician Liu was seen by Xiao Xia Zi.

So Yonghe Palace had long been on guard against Imperial Physician Liu? But why would they be on guard against an Imperial Physician they had never met?

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have never seen this imperial physician. I was in seclusion praying for blessings. I know nothing." Xiao Yunyao pretended to be innocent and looked at Su Xian:

"How do you know this imperial physician?"

Su Xian knelt down hurriedly and found an excuse, saying, "My master is so sad for His Majesty that she has lost her appetite and is getting thinner day by day. My master also forbade me to spread the news and to ask the imperial physician, but I am worried about my master, so I can only ask the imperial physician quietly."

"That day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was conducting an inspection, and I wanted to find a free imperial physician to ask how the master should be treated and what medicine to use. I happened to find Imperial Physician Liu, and just asked about the condition."

Both sides have their own arguments.

Ning Wanyin said calmly, "Really? Lianrui, read about Imperial Physician Liu's life story."

"Imperial Physician Liu is from Lishui County. His entire family died in the treason of the Cen Party, and he was rescued by passing soldiers. Later he came to the capital and was admitted to the Imperial Hospital." Lian Rui stepped forward and said.

Jingpin reacted immediately and said, "Your Majesty, it is General Xiao who is guarding Lishui County!"

The Dong family's army is not stationed there.

Xiao Yunyao's pupils trembled. She didn't know the background of Imperial Physician Liu. She only knew that he was a loyal soldier working for her brother and she would never confess even if she died.

I didn't expect to find my brother...

Ultimately, it’s because the Xiao family’s foundation is too shallow.

The families of dukes and marquises have been rich for generations, and the manpower they need has been cultivated from previous generations.

Even the maidservants around Ning Wanyin were carefully selected by her mother from among the children in the family when she was a child, and were kept by her side to be cultivated slowly.

But how old is Xiao Yunjing?

Even if he bought some young orphans a few years ago and trained them as his hidden agents.

But at most she could only become a palace maid or a eunuch.

If he wanted to have connections in the officialdom, the Imperial Medical Service, and other places, these people would be older than him, so he must have joined halfway.

Those who join you halfway would rather die than confess their crimes in order to repay your kindness.

But their origins cannot be concealed.

So it is normal that the little palace maid in the pharmacy could not find out his origins. There must be clues from the imperial physician Liu who is over fifty years old!

Ning Wanyin started to target Imperial Physician Liu and asked Lianrui to send someone to investigate his background.

Xiao Yunjing was also very clear that it would be easy for people to find out that Liu Yuyi was related to him. But he sent Liu Yuyi to the Imperial Hospital not to let him kill people.

This is left for Xiao Yunyao to protect her pregnancy!

In order to prevent others from harming Xiao Yunyao's fetus, he left someone to protect her during her pregnancy and childbirth.

How could he know that Xiao Yunyao would use the doctor as a killer?
