"Mei Cui! I've treated you well! Why do you treat me like this?!"
The imperial concubine questioned Mei Cui heartbrokenly.
Mei Cui didn't dare to look up to meet the imperial concubine's gaze. She lowered her head and knelt down without saying anything.
"Don't be sad, my beloved concubine. I will have her interrogated thoroughly. Once the culprit is caught, you can do whatever you want with him!"
As the old emperor spoke, he helped the imperial concubine up from the ground and let her sit on the soft couch beside him.
"Imperial Physician, come and take the imperial concubine's pulse. I remember that my beloved concubine has been wearing this sachet for a long time. I wonder if my beloved concubine has also been poisoned."
The old emperor frowned and looked very worried about the concubine's health.
The imperial physician carefully felt the imperial concubine's pulse and said, "Your Majesty, if your Majesty has been wearing this sachet for some time, there may be some toxins in your body.
I will prescribe a prescription for you. Your Majesty, drink it for a few days and stop coming into contact with these two spices, and you will be fine.
The palace where Her Majesty resides also needs to be cleaned carefully to prevent any lingering scent of spices."
"Fuquan, immediately arrange for someone to clean the Beauty Palace thoroughly inside and out!
Also, take Mei Cui away for a thorough interrogation!"
The old emperor gave orders one by one.
The imperial physician removed the silver needles from Song Jiujiu's body, gave Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu a few words of advice, and then left.
Ye Peizhu looked at her daughter, who was originally full of energy and energy, but now became a little listless after this incident, and she felt so distressed that she burst into tears.
"Is the baby feeling uncomfortable?"
[Mom, I don't feel bad anymore, don't cry. To be honest, this is a good thing.
This didn’t happen on this day in my previous life, and no one knew that my grandmother had been poisoned. In the end, she died of the poison and was even blamed by the old emperor.
But this happened in this life, and we all know that there is something wrong with my grandmother's sachet, and there is also something wrong with Meicui. Doesn't this successfully avoid the outcome of my grandmother dying of poisoning in her previous life?
It’s the old emperor here. I don’t know why the old emperor wanted to throw dirty water on my grandmother in his previous life.
Could it be that the person who poisoned my grandmother, the one who instructed Mei Cui behind the scenes, was the person the old emperor wanted to protect?
Oh, I don’t know. After I died in my previous life, my soul floated in the human world for quite some time and I saw what happened in the past.
But there are still some things and details that are unclear, and I feel like I have lived my life in vain.
Let's see if I can have some more prophetic dreams. Anyway, I'm determined to change the fate of our entire family in this lifetime!]
Song Jiujiu held the little fleshy hand, her heart full of ambition.
But her ambition soon faded.
[No, I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep. I hope I'll be home when I wake up. Whoever wants to stay in this broken palace can stay.]
Song Jiujiu muttered to herself and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Ye Peizhu didn't want to stay in the palace anymore.
A good full moon ceremony was ruined by the assassin and the sachet incident.
She knew that the old emperor had no good intentions, just as he had said to his daughter!
She carefully held the little baby in her arms and looked up at King Kang.
The two have been married for many years and can understand each other's intentions with just one look.
Prince Kang understood and looked at the old emperor who was still coaxing the concubine.
"Father, Jiu'er is asleep. I want to take my wife and children back home first. The full moon ceremony is almost over now. Please allow me to do so.
As for the interrogation of the assassin and Mei Cui, if there is any result from the interrogation, please send someone to inform me."
The old emperor glanced at Song Jiujiu who was asleep in Ye Peizhu's arms.
"Then let's go back. My little granddaughter must be frightened too. Go back and comfort her."
Prince Kang, who had originally thought that the old emperor would find an excuse to disagree, breathed a sigh of relief.
"yes."
King Kang went out to the outer hall and spoke briefly to everyone, then left with his wife and children.
Seeing this, Ye Fangshi also left the palace with Ye Shuxun.
This full moon ceremony cannot be said to be perfect, but it ended without any major problems.
After Prince Kang and his family returned, they all gathered around Song Jiujiu's crib and watched her sleep. Especially Song Zixuan and Song Le'an, they kept looking at their sister's sleeping face and didn't want to leave.
"Zixian, An'er, you both have a quiz tomorrow. Go home quickly. It's not too late now. You can still do some reading."
Ye Peizhu remembered this and hurriedly urged her two sons.
Song Zixian is a good student and always ranks among the top in every exam.
But Song Le'an is not like that. He really gets a headache when he mentions studying.
Song Le'an scratched his head and said, "Mother, let me check on my sister. I'm afraid she will have a nightmare at night."
"You don't want to go back to study, don't use your sister as an excuse. If you don't go back to review, your father will give you nightmares right now!"
King Kang angrily pulled a handful of his fifth son's hair.
Song Le'an held his head and dodged, "Okay, okay, Fourth Brother, let's go back."
"Actually, whether I study or not, I'll be able to rank among the top on tomorrow's quiz.
So, father and mother, please let your son stay a little longer."
Song Zixuan was fiddling with the Buddhist beads in his hands, and a smile appeared on his handsome face despite his young age.
Song Lean: “!!!”
"Fourth brother! You're going too far!"
Song Le'an gritted his teeth, but he didn't forget that his sister was asleep, so he had to speak in a low voice.
Song Zixuan smiled and glanced at his stupid brother, his words piercing his heart. "Who told you that your grades aren't as good as Fourth Brother's? Students with good grades always have privileges."
Song Le'an gritted his teeth and said, "Father and Mother, I'm going back to study first!"
Seeing his stupid brother leave angrily, Song Zixian put away the smile on his face.
He turned and looked tenderly at his sister who was sleeping soundly.
My younger sister is different from my younger brother. She is more delicate and needs to be taken care of well.
Snowflakes started falling outside the window at some point.
King Kang saw that the snow was getting heavier and kept telling Song Zixian to go back quickly.
Song Zixian had no choice but to leave first.
Shortly after Song Zixian left, Prince Kang also returned to his study.
Then his secret guard came to report.
"Master, please forgive me. I have been investigating the background of the General's wife's youngest son for some time but have made no progress.
The midwife and maid who delivered the general's wife have all passed away, and the clues end here."
King Kang was somewhat suspicious when he heard this.
"Is it just such a coincidence that all the midwives are dead? It's only been fifteen years. Even if those midwives and maids were older, they couldn't have been over fifty. How could they all be dead?
I remember that my father-in-law had a concubine, and the son born to that concubine and the son born to my mother-in-law were born a few days before or after each other.
Have you investigated the person who delivered the concubine's baby?"
"Your Highness, I have also investigated and found out how many of the midwives and maids who delivered my concubine's baby died, and how many are still alive.
The subordinates went to interrogate the few survivors, and they admitted that they were the ones who delivered the concubine's baby. The concubine did give birth to a son, and no accidents happened that year.
This confirms that the concubine's son is not the general's wife's legitimate son."
