Although Nanchun didn't know what the order meant, she still followed the instruction and took the box away.
Bai Susu looked at the crystal clear silk candy and communicated with the system in her mind: "You said there's something wrong with this candy? What's the problem?"
Tongzi could predict all dangers in advance. After hearing Bai Susu's question, he immediately began to test it: "Master, this candy is poisonous."
Bai Susu's fingers trembled. "Poison?" Who would be so bold as to put poison in her food?
"Yes, Master. This poison is colorless and odorless, but it can control a person's mood and affect their nervous system. Initially, you won't feel anything, but if it accumulates, you'll gradually become depressed. Over time, your heart meridians will become blocked, and your qi and blood will not flow smoothly. Even a minor illness can take a person's life!"
Bai Susu was shocked when she heard this. Attacking the human nervous system? What a vicious plan! It seemed that the person who wanted to harm her really did go to great lengths. She didn't know where they found this hidden poison.
Her hormones will be out of balance during pregnancy and childbirth, which makes her most prone to depression. If she continues to eat poisoned candy, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Will this poison have any effect on the baby?" Bai Susu touched her belly and asked anxiously.
"No, first of all, this poison only attacks the mother, and the master has already used pregnancy-protecting pills, so anything that affects the child's health will not work."
After hearing this, Bai Susu felt relieved.
Seeing her staring at the candy, the system said worriedly, "To be on the safe side, I suggest you spend your points to buy a detoxification pill. This way you'll be immune to all poisons."
Bai Susu originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and find out who was trying to harm her. Now that she heard Tongzi say there was an "antidote pill", she became even more determined.
She immediately spent her points to buy it, but didn't use it right away. Instead, she asked the system, "Is this poison really that strong? Isn't the person who poisoned me afraid of being found out?"
It's no wonder that Bai Susu was surprised. Emperor Xuan Jing was very strict about her diet. Her daily meals had to be checked by the imperial physician, and the candy that was delivered was naturally no exception.
Just... didn’t find out?
The system was silent for a moment, then said, "This poison isn't highly toxic and can't be detected with a silver needle. Furthermore, the sugar was contaminated with very little poison, so it might not have been detected."
Bai Susu:???
Such a powerful poison? Even the imperial physician couldn't find it, so even if she wanted to expose it, she couldn't?
System: "Because this poison disrupts the heart meridian, the pulse will become rapid and chaotic, and the lips and nails will become redder than normal. However, these symptoms are very subtle. Whether they can be linked to poisoning depends on the medical skills of the imperial physician."
Bai Susu was really speechless at this moment. This was because she had a system, so she could sense danger.
But what if she didn't? Then she would be foolishly poisoned and die quietly, and no one would suspect the cause of death?
It's really frustrating.
Bai Susu tossed and turned in bed until the night. Since she entered the palace, although she had been targeted by concubines because of her favor, most of the attacks were just verbal attacks. She had never encountered such a tough palace fighting method as "poisoning".
In addition, she was loved by the emperor and was strictly guarded after she became pregnant, so she ignored the fact that there were so many people in the palace who hated her and wanted to kill her in every possible way.
Bai Susu suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She had to find this person and kill him with one blow.
Otherwise, her child would be born in endless danger.

Bai Susu finally chose to eat the candy. Not only that, she would take a piece of candy with every bowl of pregnancy-maintaining medicine thereafter.
After she finished eating that box of candy, the Ministry of Internal Affairs saw that she liked it, so they sent her another box. This time, Tongzi checked it carefully and found that it was not the candy that was poisonous, but the box that contained the candy.
The box was soaked in poison, so the candies were fine at first, but after being in the box for too long, they gradually became contaminated with poison.
Therefore, this is also the reason why the imperial physician could not find the cause. Naturally, he only checked the sugar at the beginning. If there was no problem with the sugar, who would have thought that there was a problem with the box containing the sugar?

In a blink of an eye, the winter passed and the weather turned warmer.
When the weather was cold, Bai Susu didn't dare to go out with her bulging belly. Now that it's warmer and the snow has melted, she dares to go for a walk.
However, every time she went out, Nanchun would wrap her tightly from head to toe, for fear that she would catch a cold.
There is a peach tree in Yeonbok Palace. New leaves have grown on its branches that have been withered for a winter. The sun is best in the afternoon. Bai Susu is covered with a soft cotton blanket and sitting on a lounge chair to bask in the sun.
She spent the winter in a charcoal-burning house. Although it was warm, it was not as soothing as the sunshine.
Bai Susu covered her face with a cotton handkerchief and let the sunlight shine on every corner of her body. It seemed as if all the coldness brought by the whole winter was melted by the sunlight, and she felt extremely comfortable.
In the copper stove next to it, black tea and milk were bubbling. With the addition of honey, the tea exuded a rich milky and sweet aroma. Bai Susu was about to fall asleep.
When Emperor Xuan Jing came, he saw this scene. Bai Susu was bathed in the sun. Her skin was snow-white and crystal clear under the sun. Compared with the white handkerchief, it was hard to tell which one was whiter.
When the servants saw the emperor coming quietly, they were so scared that they wanted to bow, but Emperor Xuan Jing waved his hand and just stood there watching for a long time.
Susu's belly is now six months old, and her abdomen is bulging. Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes fell on her belly, and the expression in his eyes became softer.
Thinking that it would take another four months before the baby was born, he suddenly became impatient.
Su Su's pregnancy was safe and sound. Every time Imperial Physician Jiang examined the patient's pulse, he would say that the Empress had a good constitution and the fetus was strong. Emperor Xuan Jing would be happy all day every time he heard this.
Once again, he considered himself lucky and that God had been kind to him.
The sun gradually moved westward, and Bai Susu keenly felt that the sunlight was no longer so strong. She stretched out her hand in a daze and said, "Nanchun, let's go into the house."
The warm, dry palm wrapped around her palm. Bai Susu took the handkerchief, revealing her sunburned face, and said happily, "Your Majesty!"
When Emperor Xuan Jing saw her watery eyes, his heart softened. He nodded and walked forward to help Bai Susu up personally.
Ever since her belly grew bigger, it became very inconvenient for her to do this kind of movement. Bai Susu sometimes felt as clumsy as a bear.
She felt a little embarrassed, supported her waist, and asked softly, "Why did the emperor come at this time?"
Emperor Xuan Jing held her in his arms and said with a smile, "I came to see you."
Xuan Jingguo was busy with state affairs, so he usually came to Yeonbokgung Palace at night.
Although Susu's belly was big, Emperor Xuan Jing still slept on the same bed with her, unless he was really busy until late at night, he would rest in the Yangxin Palace.
The milk tea was ready. Nanchun served a bowl to Bai Susu and Xuan Jingdi respectively. Bai Susu smiled and drank the tea from the bowl.
Emperor Xuan Jing did not move. He carefully examined Bai Susu's expression and asked, "Are you scared today?"
