Doctor Gao arrived very quickly. He had been in the Imperial Hospital for a long time and was well aware of the power in the palace. So when he entered the room, Doctor Gao did not ask anything. After greeting, he went forward to feel Chu Jinyao's pulse.

Doctor Gao felt the pulse with a handkerchief under his arm, and Qin Yi stood by and watched. Doctor Gao felt it carefully for a while, then stood up and saluted to Qin Yi: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess' pulse is normal and there is nothing wrong. Although the Crown Princess has a cold constitution, as long as she sits, lies down and eats properly, it will not affect her offspring."

Chu Jinyao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. She looked up at Qin Yi, who understood and took Doctor Gao outside to question him and look at some other things.

After a while, Qin Yi came back. Chu Jinyao was waiting in the inner room. When she saw Qin Yi, she quickly stood up and went to greet him: "Your Highness, what did the imperial physician say?"

"You guessed right. There is indeed something strange in the embroidery thread. Those threads were prepared using a special method. The medicinal properties are strong and long-lasting. Even after washing several times, they still have medicinal effects. In order to cover up the medicinal smell, some spices were mixed in."

Chu Jinyao's guess was confirmed, and she didn't know what to say for a moment: "She is a genius to come up with such a method, but it's a pity that she uses her intelligence to harm people."

Qin Yi unexpectedly did not respond. His face was surprisingly solemn. He gently carried Chu Jinyao and walked to the bed: "You are tired all day today. Rest early."

Chu Jinyao was indeed tired. The affairs of Queen Qi made her physically and mentally exhausted. If she hadn't been waiting for Qin Yi, Chu Jinyao would have fallen asleep long ago.

Chu Jinyao had already taken off her outer garment with hairpins. She pulled up the quilt and found that Qin Yi had no intention of falling asleep: "Your Highness, are you not going to sleep yet?"

"I still have some things to arrange." Qin Yi said, "You can sleep peacefully."

Chu Jinyao also roughly guessed that Qin Yi was going out to arrange something. Such an important thing was found on Concubine Lian's clothes. There was no reason for Qin Yi to let go of such a godsend opportunity. If he wanted to give the queen a hard and painful blow, there would be a lot of things to arrange in advance before the revelation.

Chu Jinyao lay in the quilt by herself, looking at Qin Yi who could not calm down late at night, she felt distressed and ashamed: "Your Highness, these should be my business. You are busy with court affairs during the day, and I can't help you with your worries. Now you have to worry about the affairs of the harem..."

"This is not the business of the harem. You discovered the Queen's trick, which is a great achievement. You don't have to worry about these things later." That's

true. What needs to be done next is to close the net and fight back. It is obviously better to leave these to the senior Qin Yi. Chu Jinyao said, "Your Highness, when you are going to take action in a few days, you must tell me."

"Why?"

Chu Jinyao smiled and said, "I also contributed to this matter. I'm afraid that you will take all the credit, so I have to keep an eye on you."

Qin Yi was amused by this and chuckled. He looked at Chu Jinyao with helplessness in his eyes: "Okay."

Qin Yi knew that Chu Jinyao was afraid of him being alone, so she wanted to accompany him. Logically, this was a kind of distrust, but when Qin Yi noticed this, he was not unhappy at all, but full of helplessness.

Seeing Qin Yi agreed, Chu Jinyao immediately smiled: "I know that Your Highness is upright and would not do such a thing. By the way, Your Highness, what do you say about Concubine Lian?"

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows: "You ask me?"

Chu Jinyao also realized that it was wrong. After all, Concubine Lian was the emperor's concubine, and it was indeed not right to ask like this. Chu Jinyao sighed and resignedly explained what he originally meant: "What I mean is that Concubine Lian's clothes should have the most drugs, and she just had a miscarriage. If we want to gain the trust of the emperor, Concubine Lian is the most powerful witness. But if we want to obtain more evidence, we have to ask Concubine Lian for clothes. This...what should I say?"

Qin Yi was originally very serious. When he thought of what Chu Jinyao had done today, he wanted to put on a serious face, but he still couldn't hold it back, and a little smile flowed in his eyes. He glanced at Chu Jinyao with an angry and amused look: "You are really capable, look at what you did today."

Chu Jinyao was also embarrassed, but she had done more embarrassing things in front of Qin Yi, so this little thing was nothing. Chu Jinyao smiled nonchalantly and said: "Forget it, I will think of a solution tomorrow. We can't make a fuss, but we have to make things clear to Concubine Lian. It's not easy to make a living in the palace, and there is no need to implicate the little maid who does the laundry."

In fact, Chu Jinyao could have just pretended that this incident had never happened. Xiao Qianzi did it very cleanly, and no one would link Concubine Lian's lost clothes to the Eastern Palace, but in this case, the little maid who did the laundry would inevitably be punished. Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao, and once again felt that the person in front of him was like a treasure. Every time he could discover something different: "You are still thinking about someone else, but a little palace maid."

"Let's put it aside." Chu Jinyao shook her head, obviously disagreeing, but too lazy to elaborate. Qin Yi saw that Chu Jinyao was still blinking and refusing to sleep honestly, so he simply reached out to cover her eyes and said, "Okay, don't think about these, just sleep peacefully."

Chu Jinyao's eyelashes scratched Qin Yi's palm vaguely. Before Qin Yi did anything, Chu Jinyao laughed: "Itchy! Your Highness, am I really asleep?"

"Well, I'm outside."

This sentence really gave people an endless sense of security. Qin Yi was not far away, and she could find him as soon as she spoke. Chu Jinyao's sense of security doubled, and she closed her eyes with peace of mind.

After a while, Chu Jinyao's breathing gradually became even, and the gentleness on Qin Yi's face also cooled down a little.

There has been no child in the harem for so many years, and Qin Yi has long suspected that it was Queen Qi who did something, but Queen Qi was the legitimate queen, and she held all the power in the harem. Even Qin Yi couldn't interfere in the affairs of the harem, so for so many years, Qin Yi had doubts but never took any action.

What's more, Qin Yi didn't need to stop Queen Qi. Qin Yi was the crown prince after all, and there were too many examples of the East Palace being too powerful and causing the emperor to be suspicious. Qin Yi was not interested in taking this risk, so it was a good thing for Qin Yi if the emperor had fewer sons. Over the years, Empress Xiao Qi has been harming

the emperor's heirs, either openly or secretly. Qin Yi has been too lazy to care most of the time. What he has to do is not to stop Empress Xiao Qi's atrocities, but to accumulate Empress Xiao Qi's scandals. But now, Qin Yi has changed his mind. Empress Xiao Qi can harm the emperor's offspring as she pleases, but if she sets her sights on Chu Jinyao, she would be too ignorant of life and death.

His offspring must be born from Chu Jinyao. As early as when Chu Jinyao just entered the palace and had not thought about pregnancy, Qin Yi mobilized people to strictly control the medicine and diet of the East Palace. He could have stood idly by in the past, but now he has a wife and will have offspring in the near future. It's time to pick up the cancer of Empress Xiao Qi.

In fact, Qin Yi had a lot of evidence in his hands, but he didn't expect that the main plot of the Queen was actually based on clothes. Qin Yi's eyes were already frozen. The East Palace had such a big mistake under his care. Fortunately, Chu Jinyao was alert and didn't use the clothes from the Shangyi Bureau, otherwise... Qin Yi felt violent and almost out of control just thinking about the possible consequences. The

Queen had also made some small moves before, but in Qin Yi's view, these were all minor and still within the controllable range, but this time, the Queen almost succeeded.

Qin Yi's eyes were calm, with no smile or anger on his face, but there was an inexplicable danger lingering around him. He quietly looked at Chu Jinyao's sleeping face, peaceful, gentle, and full of trust.

Qin Yi's heart was filled with shock, but his movements were very gentle. He kissed Chu Jinyao's forehead gently, stood up silently, and walked outside.

After walking out of the house, Qin Yi looked up at the sky. The summer night sky was pure black, and the dark light in Qin Yi's eyes was almost deeper than the night, and murderous intent was looming.

The dragon has reverse scales, and touching it means death, but the young Queen Qi obviously did not understand this truth.

The East Palace and the Queen were secretly in conflict, and everyone in the harem knew it. The rules of the temporary palace were more relaxed than those of the imperial palace, and the inner and outer palace families moved frequently, and the wrestling between the East Palace and the Queen gradually spread to outside the palace.

The former dynasty and the harem have always been one, and many of the officials who accompanied the emperor had heard about the witch, but the incident was not a big deal, and the culprit was not found, so it was still a matter of the harem, and the former dynasty did not stir up much trouble. Whenever Empress Xiao Qi thought of this, she felt angry. She had been planning for so long, but in the end, not only did she fail, but she also got herself into trouble. Empress

Xiao Qi was in a bad mood and spoke in a very aggressive tone. No one in the palace dared to mess with the queen, and even if they were scolded, they did not dare to argue, and they all lowered their heads quietly.

The Queen let herself vent her temper, and finally calmed down a little. She stirred the ice porridge and suddenly remembered something: "Where is the Crown Princess? Why didn't she come to pay her respects to me today?"

Lan Yu had already discovered that the time when the Crown Princess usually came to pay her respects had passed, but today she was nowhere to be seen. Lan Yu didn't know why she was startled and tried to say, "Maybe she was delayed on the way."

At the same time, the emperor looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment: "Qin Yi, what are you going to do?"

The emperor didn't like to manage affairs. It was not enough for him to have fun every day in the temporary palace. How could we expect him to care about state affairs? The emperor had the same plan today. He was planning to take his new favorite beauty out for an outing, but before he left the house, he was blocked by Qin Yi, who was supposed to be listening to state affairs.

"Your Majesty, please stay." Although Qin Yi said this, his actions did not show any intention of negotiation. After he finished speaking, he glanced at the people behind him, and Xiao Linzi brought people up with interest.

The emperor stared in amazement as several palace maids came in with trays, and Concubine Lian came with them. The emperor frowned and asked, "What is this?"

The palace maid holding the things knelt down and knelt on the ground for a long time: "Your Majesty, Concubine Lian unfortunately suffered a miscarriage some time ago. I was afraid and found something suspicious."

Qin Yi stood calmly, Chu Jinyao also stood quietly beside Qin Yi, and Concubine Lian looked at the emperor with tears in her beautiful eyes. The emperor looked at these people and suddenly had a bad feeling. He subconsciously rejected this feeling because he had a premonition that once this palace maid opened her mouth, the balance that the emperor was accustomed to, and even relied on for survival, would be broken.

The emperor was silent and his expression became unpredictable. After a long time, he asked, "What's the doubt?"

The palace maid lifted the red silk on the tray, her voice clear and powerful: "Your Majesty, this is the clothes of Concubine Lian. Since the Concubine had a miscarriage, I have been brave enough to take apart her underwear in order to find the culprit. These threads are embroidered on the pattern. I smelled something wrong, so I asked someone to ask the Imperial Hospital, and found out that this thread was prepared with special spices, containing musk, safflower and other things that are not good for women. Normally, women who come into contact with this kind of thing will hurt their vagina, and over time it may even affect their offspring. Pregnant women who come into contact with it may suffer from abdominal pain, or even miscarriage or miscarriage."

The emperor's face had completely sank. He was not a good king, but he was not a fool. The emperor certainly knew what was behind this. Concubine Lian had a miscarriage a few days ago, and now it was discovered that someone had tampered with Concubine Lian's clothes. What's worse, there are so many concubines in the harem, but only a few of them have given birth to children.

The meaning behind this is really sinister, and the emperor is almost unwilling to think about it.

The emperor's face was dark, and a nameless fire rose in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "Call the imperial physician."

Several imperial physicians on duty in the Imperial Hospital came quickly. The imperial physicians came forward to take over the clothes and embroidery thread. After smelling them, they looked inexplicable and nodded without saying anything. The palace maid even asked someone to take apart Concubine Lian's recent dress on the spot, and these threads were also poisonous.

The emperor's face was so dark that it was unbearable to look at. Everyone in the palace lowered their heads and dared not breathe. Only Qin Yi looked calm and looked at the emperor without avoiding. "Your Majesty, first someone tampered with Concubine Lian's clothes - maybe not just Concubine Lian, then the fourth prince had a miscarriage, and then it was spread in the palace that the Eastern Palace would not tolerate the newly born prince, and even a witch puppet was dug out in the Qide Palace. Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, involving witches and witches, the Eastern Palace, and even an innocent life. Please investigate."

The emperor had a gloomy face, and no one knew what he was thinking. This was such a familiar routine, it just happened once in April.

The emperor didn't say anything, and the people below were either kneeling or standing, and no one dared to say a word. Qin Yi maintained his posture of reporting to the emperor. Although he did not express his opinion, he was already silently urging the emperor.

The hall was silent. Suddenly, a sharp voice came from outside, like a sharp knife cutting through the water, immediately disrupting the peace in the palace: "The Empress is here!"
