Imperial Physician Tang stepped forward to examine Princess Fucha's pulse and concluded that she showed signs of a possible miscarriage.
However, her condition was not that serious. After the imperial physician Tang prescribed medicine and performed acupuncture on Princess Fucha, her condition improved significantly.
Hearing what Physician Tang said, Hongli was relieved that nothing had gone wrong. He then instructed Physician Tang to examine Lady Gao.
Although Gao did not say that she was feeling unwell, she still asked the imperial physician to take a look at her so that she could feel more at ease.
Yunyi obediently stretched out her hand for Physician Tang to take her pulse. Since she wasn't poisoned, there was naturally no problem.
After examining the princess, Imperial Physician Tang bowed and replied, "Your Highness, this princess is in good health. The fetus in her womb is growing well, and she has not been exposed to anything else. She is perfectly healthy."
"Hmm!" Hongli's expression softened a bit. He nodded, quite satisfied that Gao was alright.
All three pregnant women present had been examined. Fearing that some might be unaware of their pregnancy like Huang, Fucha suggested that everyone be examined.
Hongli naturally did not object and directly agreed with his wife's words.
After examining the pulses of each of the princesses in the backyard, it was found that none of them were pregnant and all were in good health.
Hongli felt both disappointed and delighted. He was disappointed that no one was pregnant. He wouldn't mind having too many children; he only had three sons and no daughters, so naturally he hoped to have as many children as possible.
The good news is that everyone is healthy, no one is pregnant, so no one has any problems, and he doesn't have to suffer the pain of losing a child.
A perfectly good Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner turned into a disaster: one woman suffered a miscarriage, and the other nearly did. Such a terrible thing happened on such a joyous occasion. Hongli was in a terrible mood and ordered that the perpetrator be found out.
Lady Fucha solemnly agreed. As the primary consort, the incident at today's family banquet was her dereliction of duty as the primary consort. She had failed to check properly, which led to the mishaps of the princesses in the inner quarters.
Now that this has happened, Lady Fucha has shown a rare display of authority befitting a primary consort, determined to investigate the matter thoroughly, prove her abilities, and seize this opportunity to establish her prestige.
Since Yunyi and Fucha Gege were pregnant, they were allowed to go back to rest. Huang Shi had already been sent back to her room, while the rest of the people kept Fucha Shi behind and did not allow them to leave.
In front of everyone, Lady Fucha directly sent people to investigate the matter, changing her usual gentle image. This surprised everyone and made them realize that the primary consort was ultimately a primary consort, while they were just lowly princesses.
It must be said that Lady Fucha's idea was achieved; everyone's attitude towards her was indeed much more respectful than before.
Granny Chen was full of energy and determined to do a good job this time, find out the murderer, and bring honor to the Fujin.
She was in a good mood. With Princess Huang's miscarriage, the Third Prince had one less competitor, which was not a bad thing for her family.
However, there is also a downside: if the master fails to find the real culprit, then the master will begin to doubt the master's abilities.
Therefore, Granny Chen must investigate the murderer to ensure that the image of Lady Fucha as the primary consort remains perfect.
Yunyi left the banquet, but she didn't miss a single piece of the news. Qingdai was a master at gathering information, and she knew everything about where the Fujin was investigating and how it was progressing.
Therefore, Yunyi was very well-informed. Although she was not at the scene, she knew everything and was fully aware of what had happened.
As evening approached, Lady Fucha, needing to attend a family banquet in the palace, temporarily halted the investigation and allowed everyone to return home.
Compared to her first attempt, Huang's second plan was more ingenious. She used two dishes to produce toxins, one of which was a relatively rare ingredient, so that even the imperial physicians did not notice anything amiss.
But the most ingenious point is that convolvulus flowers can also be used in cooking. Even if it is discovered, Gao can easily clear himself of suspicion by simply saying that he did not know.
After all, it was a secret even the imperial physicians didn't know. She added whirlpool flowers to the dish without her knowledge, and no one could say for sure whether she did it on purpose.
Now, due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, she has miscarried, making it even harder for people to believe that she was responsible. After all, offspring are extremely important to women in the inner quarters of the household, so who would use a child to harm someone?
However, with Yunyi in the know, she wouldn't let Huang get away with it and would remain hidden in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Even by the next day, Lady Fucha still hadn't figured out who had committed the crime. She checked everything and examined all the servants from that day, but found nothing amiss. She didn't even know why they had miscarried.
Yunyi had anticipated this, and she secretly used some means to let the Fucha clan know that the spiral grass flower should not be eaten with osmanthus fish.
When the servants reported this to Lady Fucha, she suddenly realized what had happened.
Empress Fucha immediately went to the imperial physicians to inquire, but they all said they had never heard of this saying and were not very clear about it.
A thought crept into her mind that this must be the reason; once she found the reason, she could find the person to target.
So Empress Fucha did not give up and asked the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital to investigate thoroughly to see if such a method existed.
After the three, it was Physician Tang who came to report to the Fourth Princess Consort. After returning home, he found the method in his family's ancestral medical records, which could indeed cause miscarriage in women.
Now that the cause of the poisoning has been found, Fucha's investigation will be much easier.
With Yunyi secretly stirring things up, Huang was ultimately unable to escape suspicion.
Hongli had suspected Huang Shi before, but her miscarriage dispelled some of his suspicions. However, now there is a lot of evidence pointing to her.
To verify whether it was really Huang Gege who was behind this, Hongli set a trap. Without Huang Gege's knowledge, he overheard her complaining to her personal maid, regretting that she had harmed her own child by harming others.
Upon hearing this news, Hongli was furious, but out of respect for his mother, he could not reveal Huang's affair.
Therefore, when Fucha paid her respects, she announced to the public that this incident was just an accident, that no one had harmed anyone, and also explained that the combination of tufted grass flowers and other ingredients would produce toxins.
No one suspected anything, and no one knew that the real culprit was actually the victim in this incident.
Huang's plan was exposed, and Hongli also learned about the previous incident in which she framed Yunyi. Therefore, Hongli placed her under the pretext of recuperating from illness and prevented anyone from visiting her.
The innocent Chen Gege also learned what Huang Gege had done. She felt a wave of fear; she had almost been implicated.
After this incident, the already low-key Chen family became even more low-key, becoming a veritable invisible person in the backyard, with no presence whatsoever.
Because of the near miscarriage, the once stable pregnancy of Princess Fucha is now insecure. Hongxiu, fearing for her mistress, disregards the proper order of seniority and orders Princess Fucha to stay in bed and not go anywhere.
