The Crown Princess frowned slightly: "Did the Tenth Royal Aunt feel unwell at the palace banquet today?"
Xia Miaoyuan replied seriously, "That's right. I went to the Zhonghe Hall to change clothes today, and I ran into the Tenth Imperial Uncle and the Tenth Imperial Aunt taking a breather outside the hall."
"Aunt Tenth Emperor doesn't look well. It's really worrying."
The Crown Princess's face was filled with concern. "Tenth Imperial Aunt is still relatively young at this stage of pregnancy, so it's very easy for things to go wrong. We must not be careless."
"Princess Jin, I want to go too in a while."
The prince then said, "Well, then my husband and I will go with our two sisters."
The Queen nodded: "That's fine, but Chu Yue must take care of herself."
The Queen gave a few more instructions, and then the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, Xia Miaoyuan, and Xiao Wanyin took a carriage to the Prince of Jin's Mansion.
Prince Jin and Princess Jin have been living in the imperial farm for a while to try growing exotic crops. There is a palace banquet today, so they returned to Prince Jin's Mansion two days ago.
They planned to stay in the mansion for a few days before returning to the imperial farm.
When the prince and his entourage arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion, Yin Xizi's carriage was already waiting in front of the mansion.
For convenience, the prince had already sent his entourage to Yin's Medical Clinic to invite Yin Xizi over before leaving the palace.
When the Prince and Princess of Jin saw that the Crown Prince and Princess had suddenly come to visit, they were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly welcomed them in.
Arriving at the main courtyard, the Crown Prince, without waiting for the Prince of Jin to ask, took the initiative to explain his purpose: "Tenth Imperial Uncle, there's a palace banquet today, and you and Tenth Imperial Aunt have been exhausted for most of the day. Originally, we shouldn't have come."
"But Queen Mother heard that the Tenth Imperial Aunt was unwell during the banquet today. After much worry, she asked me to bring Doctor Yin to see the Tenth Imperial Aunt."
The Prince of Jin was flattered and said, "The princess is just a little uncomfortable during pregnancy, it's nothing serious. But the Queen is so worried about us, how can we bear it?"
Princess Jin also said, "Your Majesty is so busy, yet you still miss my child in the midst of your busy schedule. I am truly terrified."
The Crown Princess walked up to Princess Jin, took her arm and said softly, "Tenth Aunt, you must not be careless this month."
"The Queen Mother specifically asked us to bring Divine Doctor Yin here to see you."
"Just let Divine Doctor Yin take a look at you honestly. After he does, we'll be at ease."
[Wow, my sister-in-law is so good at persuading people! Such emotional intelligence, wow!] Xia Miaoyuan looked up at the Crown Princess, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Well, the Crown Princess is right. Everything is up to the Queen." Princess Jin smiled slightly.
Then, the Crown Princess came to the inner room with the Princess of Jin, and Yin Xizi followed, led by a maid.
Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin followed in like two little followers.
The Crown Prince and Prince Jin stayed in the main hall waiting.
Xia Miaoyuan stood nervously in front of Princess Jin's bed, staring at Yin Xizi without blinking.
Yin Xizi took her pulse first.
When Yin Xizi placed his hand on Princess Jin's wrist, his expression immediately became serious.
Then, she asked Princess Jin to stick out her tongue, carefully observed the color of her tongue, and even lifted up the princess's eyelids to take a look.
"Princess, what discomfort do you feel coming in?"
"In the past half month, I have occasionally felt dizzy and chest tightness, which will be relieved after a short rest." Princess Jin said slowly.
"Also, my appetite has decreased."
"They say you'll experience morning sickness and a poor appetite during the first three months of pregnancy, but my appetite has been even worse in the past two weeks than it was during my morning sickness."
At this point, Princess Jin said somewhat embarrassedly, "I don't know if it's because of me, but lately I feel that Prince Jin's appetite isn't as good as before."
"It's really strange."
Yin Xizi frowned: "Prince Jin's appetite has also decreased?"
Princess Jin nodded: "That's right."
[No, no, both husband and wife have lost their appetites, which is even more wrong.]
[Besides, Aunt Shi has already passed the stage of severe pregnancy reactions in the first three months.]
"How is it? Is Princess Jin's condition serious?" asked the Crown Princess with concern.
Yin Xizi took the Crown Princess's hand and walked all the way out of the bedroom, obviously not wanting Princess Jin to hear.
Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin followed like little dogs, listening carefully with their four little ears perked up.
Yin Xizi whispered, "I suspect the princess has been poisoned, and Prince Jin may have been poisoned as well. But we can't be sure yet."
When Xia Miaoyuan heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he became even more nervous.
【Ahhh! Poisoned!】
If she's poisoned, what will happen to the baby in Aunt Shi's belly? Will she be able to survive?
Oh my God!
"Then how can we be sure whether it is poisoning?" The Crown Princess' tone was also a little anxious.
Yin Xizi was a little embarrassed: "I need to take some nails and hair."
Xia Miaoyuan sighed inwardly, "The ancients took good care of their nails and hair, so Aunt Yin couldn't tell Aunt Shi directly."
The Crown Princess's expression also became solemn. "These are all trivial matters. I will go and tell the Princess and Prince Jin. The most urgent task is to find out if there is poisoning, otherwise the Princess's child will be in danger."
After saying that, the Crown Princess turned and went into the house and talked with Princess Jin for a while. Princess Jin happily cut her nails and pulled out a dozen hairs from her head.
Afterwards, the Crown Princess asked someone to invite Prince Jin over.
Yin Xizi also took the pulse of King Jin and asked some questions, and King Jin answered them one by one.
Now, Yin Xizi frowned even more deeply.
"Your Highness Prince Jin, I now suspect that you and Your Highness the Princess may have been poisoned."
King Jin was shocked and said, "What? How is that possible?"
"The imperial physician in charge of the princess's pregnancy clearly said she was just experiencing common pregnancy discomfort."
"As for my poor appetite, the imperial physician said it was caused by internal heat."
Prince Jin looked incredulous.
[Well, no wonder. The imperial physician is a very prestigious doctor in Daxia.]
[But even a highly skilled doctor like the Imperial Physician can make mistakes sometimes. Furthermore, there were many Imperial Physicians in ancient times who were bribed!]
[Even the imperial physician's words cannot be fully trusted.]
Amidst his astonishment, Prince Jin caught sight of his niece's thoughts and his heart skipped a beat.
"Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, you have to trust Aunt Yin. She's the legendary doctor with unrivaled medical skills in the books!"
[Back then, when the capital city was plagued by an epidemic, it was she who cured it and saved the entire city.]
Hearing this, Prince Jin's doubts subsided a lot. He suppressed his excitement and asked Yin Xizi, "Then can you confirm whether the prince and the princess have been poisoned?"
Yin Xizi looked at King Jin earnestly and said, "I have a way to confirm it, but I need some of your nails and hair."
After hearing this, the King of Jin said readily, "That's easy. I'll give it to you."
After saying that, King Jin beckoned his servant to come over, who cut a few of his nails for him. Then, following Yin Xizi's method, he let his hair down in a bun and pulled out ten strands of hair from the top of his head.
