After Wu Mi's rigorous investigation, no clues were found on Wang Zhaoyi and the related palace maids.

However, it was discovered that Zhishi, the pharmacist who was in charge of dispensing medicine, had accidentally mentioned the issue of drug incompatibility when chatting with Yunxiang, another palace maid who came to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine.

According to the medicine boy's retelling, it was the palace maid Yunxiang who urged him to get the medicine.

He asked people to wait, saying that one must be careful when dispensing medicine. If one accidentally dispenses the wrong medicine and it conflicts with the other medicine, it will cause a big mess.

The two chatted for a while. The maid Yunxiang asked him what medicines were incompatible?

The medicine boy wanted to show off and started talking about one of the herbs in the prescription.

Wu Mi immediately captured the palace maid Yunxiang and interrogated her.

Yunxiang cried out that she was wronged. She didn't know that when she went to get the medicine, the medicine boy she met was getting medicine for Concubine Lin.

However, when looking for people related to Yunxiang...

Ning Wanyin's overlap detection method has once again achieved great success.

After Yunxiang learned that the two drugs were incompatible, she mentioned this to a few palace maids while chatting. One of the palace maids was Sha'er, the senior palace maid beside Mo Zhaoyi.

As for Concubine Lin's medicine, she went to the Imperial Hospital every five days to get it. She went there three times in total...

On the way to get the medicine for the third time, the palace maid in charge of getting the medicine bumped into Mo Zhaoyi's chief palace maid Shaer, and both she and the medicine bag fell to the ground.

Mo Zhaoyi thought that the palace maid's gossip had spread and countless people had heard about it, but she could not be blamed.

Unexpectedly, the Criminal Justice Department actually investigated this entire chain of people thoroughly, starting from the medicine boy.

…

The Imperial Concubine told Wu Mi that he could not use torture because he had no evidence.

So Wu Mi continued to threaten her and took Sha'er into the prison and placed a number of torture instruments in front of her.

The Criminal Justice Department has a bad reputation.

Just seeing this row of torture instruments, Sha'er told the whole story in detail:

"I did all this under the orders of Concubine Mo! She asked me to keep an eye on Concubine Lin. When she learned that Concubine Lin was secretly using a fertility drug and heard that there was a drug that counteracted it, she asked me to ask Concubine Lin's maid to replace the drug..."

Wu Mi was overjoyed. He finally caught the culprit. He continued to interrogate him and check the details of the case.

soon.

Wu Mi took Sha'er to report to Ning Wanyin, "My queen, we have found out. In order to raise the third princess, Mo Zhaoyi murdered Concubine Lin!"

"Eunuch Wu, please report to His Majesty." Ning Wanyin said.

To deal with concubines, the emperor must give the order himself.

Wu Mi took the order and withdrew.

Ning Wanyin read the case file carefully, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Master, do you think there are still doubts in this case?" Lian Rui asked curiously.

Ning Wanyin said, "The evidence is solid. It was definitely done by Mo Zhaoyi. But there is an inconspicuous coincidence. If the medicine boy had not talked about the incompatibility of the drugs with the palace maid, this news would not have reached Mo Zhaoyi's ears, and she would not have been able to use this plan..."

Mo Zhaoyi didn't know any medicine, and she didn't dare to ask Imperial Physician Zheng directly what medicines were incompatible with the prescription you wrote for Concubine Lin?

It seems like someone is fanning the flames behind the scenes.

"It could be a coincidence, or it could be intentional."

There may be problems with the medicine boy Zhishi and the palace lady Yunxiang.

But at the moment, even if there are problems, they will not recruit.

"Give orders to have someone secretly keep an eye on the medicine boy and the palace maid Yunxiang." Ning Wanyin said.

Lian Rui accepted the order, and then asked in confusion, "Is the person behind this plot trying to snatch the third princess?

"Maybe it's for the Third Princess, maybe he has a grudge against Mo Zhaoyi, maybe he has a grudge against Lin Jieyu, or maybe he wants to create some chaos in the palace." Ning Wanyin pondered.

Ning Wanyin thought of at least four motives for the crime, and did not rule out other factors.

Whether it is just a coincidence or there really is someone else, you will find out as you watch.

Ning Wanyin is more concerned about another thing at the moment.

Tang Miaoling and Wei Yingya really met Concubine Lin by chance, but His Majesty may not think so.

Tang Miaoling and Wei Yingya happened to save the third princess. If they were to choose a Zhaoyi to raise the child, they both seemed to have a special affinity with the third princess.

Ning Wanyin knew that they had no intention of getting promoted to the position of concubine by raising a child, but she couldn't be sure that others would make such a guess.

This matter originally had nothing to do with the two of them.

But they saved people, and were also involved. In the harem, saving people doesn't always get you a good reward.

Ning Wanyin had to deal with the aftermath of this incident properly.

Otherwise, although they have good intentions, they may end up bringing harm to themselves and their allies.

…

When Wu Mi went to report, Wen Shutang was waiting on the side with pen and ink.

Helian Qi's face was as gloomy as water. "Pass on my decree. Concubine Mo is sentenced to death and Imperial Physician Zheng is dismissed from his post."

All other relevant palace servants were handed over to Ning Wanyin for disposal.

Wu Mi took the order and withdrew.

After hearing about this case, Wen Shutang was keenly aware of a coincidence and said, "This is really a coincidence. If it weren't for the gossip between the medicine boy and the palace maid, such a big thing wouldn't have happened..."

"Since she has the intention to harm others, if she doesn't have this plan, she must have another one." Helian Qi said coldly.

Even if she didn't use the method of drug counteraction, Mo Zhaoyi could still find other ways to harm people.

Wen Shutang nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty is right. The third princess is so pitiful. She lost her mother at such a young age. Fortunately, Consort Tang and Consort Ying happened to save her..."

"The two of them saved the third princess, which is indeed a great achievement. I would like to recommend them to raise the third princess."

She had just said that it was a bit of a coincidence that Mo Zhaoyi got the news.

The next sentence is that Tang and Wei happened to save the person.

The implication is that these two people might be Ning Wanyin's behind-the-scenes conspirator, helping Mo Zhaoyi deal with Concubine Lin.

Go and save the third princess again.

In this way, he could snatch Concubine Lin's child openly without leaving any trace.

She specifically recommended Tang and Wei to ensure that they would be the ultimate beneficiaries.

Helian Qi's face showed no emotion, his eyes were dark and unclear, "Your idea is good, they are indeed a good match."

At dusk.

Helian Qi went to Yonghe Palace.

The two had dinner together.

Helian Qi casually said, "With Concubine Lin gone, the third princess needs a concubine to raise her. Concubine Lan recommended Concubine Ying and Concubine Tang, and I think they are good too. You know their personalities best, who do you think is more suitable to raise the third princess?"

Ning Wanyin seemed not to be able to hear the trap in these words and frowned slightly:

"I think neither of them is suitable. They are still like children themselves, and I am afraid they can't take good care of the princess."

It seems that the emperor is very satisfied with Tang and Wei, but the emperor's words should not only be listened to with ears, but also considered from the overall perspective.

No matter which one you choose, it will easily make the emperor suspicious.

Moreover, when the third princess grows up, if she is instigated to think that Tang and Wei killed her biological mother in order to snatch her away, then the adopted daughter will definitely become her enemy.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for both of them to raise this princess.

"Wanwan, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?" Helian Qi's gaze fell on her face, his eyes calm.
