Now, there is still no news about Rong Zhen. If there are people around him who want to harm Gu Yunru, there must be many of them. Maybe they are using Shen Aojun to harm her.

"I can't remember... There were many people in the room, but those maids wouldn't get close to me easily." Shen Aojun racked his brains but couldn't remember what happened during those days. If she was really touched by someone, there would have been too many people who touched her.

"By the way, Aojun, when you gave me the sachet that day, didn't you say that it was stolen by someone? And then they caught him."

Gu Yunru recalled for Shen Aojun a strange thing that happened when the sachet was delivered that day. What did the little beggar want the sachet for? The sachet contained some spices and other things, and no money at all.

"What? It was stolen. Then how did you get it back?" Ting Ya looked at the solemn expressions of the two and analyzed calmly.

"It was like this. I was walking on the street that day and I bumped into a little beggar. When I got to the door, I realized that the sachet I gave you was gone. But I saw the beggar in the middle of another street. Later, I had him caught."

Shen Aojun's recollection of what happened that day was a little vague, but he still remembered clearly the slovenly little beggar.

"Yunru, you don't mean to say that the oleander leaves in the sachet were put there by that little beggar, right?" Shen Aojun looked at Gu Yunru uncertainly. Seeing that she looked thoughtful, he knew she must have thought of something.

"Tingya, Aojun, who do you think would like to see me in such a miserable state?" Gu Yunru looked at the two of them with a hint of uneasiness. Tingya walked to her bedside and said, "I think it could be those people who are against Prince Zhao's Mansion."

"Yes, there is that possibility, but how did they know I was pregnant? And they put oleander in it. This is really too much." Gu Yunru clutched the quilt tightly with one hand, cold sweat dripping from the palm of her hand.

Tingya thoughtfully shifted her scrutinizing gaze to Shen Aojun's face, placed her hands on her chest, raised her willow-shaped eyebrows, looked at her unhappily and said, "Yes, what Yunru said makes sense. We are the only ones who know that she is pregnant."

Soon the person under suspicion fell on Shen Aojun. Shen Aojun was speechless and was so anxious that tears were about to fall out.

"Okay, Tingya, don't scare her anymore. I believe this incident has nothing to do with her. As for the little beggar, we won't be able to find him even if we look for him now." Gu Yunru analyzed calmly, looking at Shen Aojun's panicked face, he comforted her, "Don't be so sad, I told you it couldn't have been you."

"But……"

"Okay, there's no but. If this person wants to take action, he will definitely continue." Gu Yunru's eyes swept across him sharply.

Soon it was the day when Gu Yunru was due to give birth. Tingya, with a heavy heart, waited at the door with several midwives and imperial doctors. During the whole process, her face was tense and it was difficult for her to relax.

"Madam, why are you always so depressed?" Chu Ziqiao asked him with concern. Ting Ya's heart was in his throat and he paced back and forth.

"This child cannot be born..." Ting Ya's heart was beating like a drum, and she had to tell Chu Ziqiao the truth.

"Ziqiao, I have invited the best midwife in the world, as well as the imperial physician. Do you think she will be okay?" Ting Ya asked anxiously, while Chu Ziqiao sat aside with a frown on his face.

"Well...you should have told Yunru about this earlier. She would have thought of a solution herself. She is a doctor herself." Chu Ziqiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed. If Gu Yunru had worked so hard for so long but gave birth to a stillborn baby, she would probably be devastated.

"Zi Qiao..." Ting Ya's face turned pale when she heard the continuous cries from inside.

At this time, a figure walked in from the door. It was Rong Zhen who had disappeared for a long time. Rong Zhen had experienced a near-death experience on the battlefield, but finally saved his life and returned with everyone. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, he received the news that Gu Yunru was about to give birth.

Instead of returning to the capital to report, he went straight back to the palace, wanting to stay by her side all the time.

"How is Yunru?"

"She's still inside. We've already hired a midwife and a royal physician."

Tingya lowered her head feeling extremely guilty, not daring to look directly into his indifferent eyes. Rong Zhen did not notice anything wrong in Tingya's expression, but stood at the door and waited anxiously.

At nightfall, they finally heard the sound of a baby crying inside, but it only lasted for a brief moment and soon stopped abruptly. Everyone's heart was in their throat.

Rong Zhen's face changed after a long time and he walked in quickly, only to see the imperial doctors and matchmakers all kneeling beside him.

"Empress...Empress!" Xiao Ye and others walked in, only to find her lying on the bed, dying. Rong Zhen's feet felt as heavy as if they were tied with lead. He walked to the front of the bed and saw that her eyes and brows were covered with sweat. She must have used a lot of strength when giving birth.

"Empress... is dead." Xiao Ye suddenly screamed and almost fell to the ground. The baby she gave birth to was deformed, which frightened the matchmaker.

"Show me a look!" Rong Zhen took the child from the matchmaker's arms and took a look. The child was indeed extremely ugly, and was missing a nose and ears. Such a child was simply a monster.

I reached out and sniffed his breath and found that the child was already dead and seemed to have been dead for some time.

"You! You all deserve to die!" Rong Zhen was furious. He handed the dead fetus to a guard beside him and carried it away. Everyone kowtowed to him, shouting and howling. Ting Ya heard the noise inside and rushed in. He winked at everyone and asked them to retreat.

"Azhen, don't blame those people, it's all my fault..." Tingya walked to his side with self-blame and embarrassment, looked at Gu Yunru lying on the bed dying, and called two imperial doctors to treat her. After a few injections, she finally retained her last breath.

At this moment, Gu Yunru opened her eyes and found that her soul had been separated from her body. Seeing several guards carrying her child away, she flew out immediately and found that her feet were light and did not touch the ground at all.

Watching the guards burying her child in the backyard, Gu Yunru shouted desperately, but almost no one heard her.

"No...my child." Gu Yunru stretched out her hand but found that her body was like a ghost, quickly passing through the ground and returning to her flesh.

She suddenly opened her eyes, scaring Rong Zhen who was standing beside her.
