Hongyu suddenly realized, slammed her hand on the table, straightened her body and said, "Targeting the Empress is to make Prince Yan lose his backing. This person must be vying for the position of Crown Prince."
"Indeed, this person is very likely the one who lured the Fourth Prince into the Hong Prince's residence. Now that the Hong Prince has been eliminated, the next one will probably be the Yan Prince. What's hateful is that my sister has become a victim of the royal power struggle!"
"How can we find this person? Sister Fish, do you have a plan?"
"The first part of the elaborate scheme has already been initiated: we turn against each other to lure the enemy into a trap; then I lure the enemy deep into my territory to gather evidence; and finally, the thief cries 'stop thief!'..."
At this moment, Cuiwei rushed in and whispered, "Princess Li has barged in with her entourage."
Zhang Yue'er?
Shen Yu was startled: Last night, Shen Xiang confessed that a man pushed her into the water. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, he smelled of medicinal herbs.
Chen Yu pondered all night without any clue, but Zhang Yue'er's arrival suddenly gave her some direction.
It's important to know that Zhang Yue'er and Imperial Physician Wen were betrothed since childhood; they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

Shen Yu hurriedly stood up, pushed Hong Yu out, and threw the teapot and teacups out in a scramble. "Murderer! Mother said you killed my sister Chen Xiang..."
Hongyu didn't dodge; instead, she burst into tears, "Sister Fish, Hongyu didn't harm Chenxiang. She must have fallen into the water by accident..."
"Murderer, I will drown you to avenge my sister Chenxiang..." Chenyu said as she pulled Hongyu away. Suddenly, she heard a loud 'whoosh' and turned around to see that she had bumped into Zhang Yue'er.
Zhang Yue'er clutched her large chest, forcing a smile through the pain, and said, "Oh! Why is Consort Yu being so unwelcoming? I think you'd better leave early to avoid incurring public wrath and endangering your life."
Before Zhang Yue'er could finish speaking, Hongyu had already turned and left.
Seeing this, Zhang Yue'er became even more smug. She helped Chen Yu back to her room and instructed her attendants, "Quickly summon Imperial Physician Wen to examine Miss Chen Yu and see if this madness can be cured?"
