The courtyard of Xihe Palace was filled with servants of all sizes kneeling, including those from the Palace Department, those who cleaned the courtyard, and even some servants who often passed by Xihe Palace.

Zhuang Yuyan sat expressionlessly on the side. Sitting at the top were the emperor and the empress, whose expressions were not much better than Zhuang Yuyan's. There were several cups smashed on the ground, all of which were thrown by Feng Jin in anger. If it weren't for the child in Zhuang Yuyan's belly, I'm afraid these servants would have been dragged out and caned.

"You all claim to be innocent, so who moved the soil in the flowerpot?" The Queen looked at the two eunuchs who brought the soil with a sullen face. "You two brought this soil to Concubine Zhao, so you are the most suspicious. You should know that the soil for growing flowers comes from different places, and the soil is brought into the palace according to the nature of the flowers. There is no problem with the soil originally stored in the Palace Department, so it can only be that you moved the soil while delivering it. You'd better tell the truth and tell who instructed you to do so."

The two eunuchs were so frightened that their legs went limp. They had no idea that there would be problems with the soil, let alone that someone was instigating it. After hearing what the queen said, they had no choice but to kowtow and protest their innocence, but they could not find any evidence to clear themselves of the charges.

"Since you say you are innocent, think carefully. Did anyone touch the map or get close to you when the soil was delivered?" The queen softened her tone. "Think about who gave you the soil that day."

The two were so frightened that their brains were confused. When the queen asked them this, they couldn't remember for a moment. The queen didn't urge them, but just took the tea and drank it slowly, then turned her head to Zhuang Yuyan and said, "Fortunately, this thing was found to be wrong, otherwise..." She remembered that Zhuang Yuyan had already had a miscarriage. If a woman had multiple miscarriages, it could lead to infertility. Fortunately, the child was saved, otherwise she didn't dare to think about what would happen. She looked at the emperor who had been silent with a lingering fear, and held the teacup tighter.

"I'm sorry to have worried the Emperor and the Empress," Zhuang Yuyan smiled bitterly. "These days, apart from paying respects to you, I dare not go anywhere else. Who would have thought that someone would come up with such an unpredictable idea?"

After hearing this, the queen sighed. This method of putting poison in the soil was unprecedented and hard to guard against. She had people strictly check the people and things in Xihe Palace, and she really didn't expect such a method.

According to the methods used by ordinary people, at most they would take action on food, clothing, incense and utensils. The woman who could come up with such a method must be extremely scheming.

"Don't worry, I will find out everything about this matter," Feng Jin said in a deep voice, "I don't believe there is anything in this harem that I can't find out."

Zhuang Yuyan forced a smile upon hearing this, took the hand warmer handed to her by Yun Xi and held it in her arms: "I believe in the emperor." There is nothing in this world that cannot be investigated. The key lies in whether the emperor wants to investigate.

The queen seemed not to have heard the conversation between the two and turned to the two frightened eunuchs and asked, "What do you two think? Is there anything wrong?"

"Your Majesty, we have remembered something," said the eunuch who seemed to be calmer. "We went to the steward's office to get the soil, and then we met three acquaintances on the road, and we talked a little more."

"You are telling the truth. If it is not true, I will beat you directly..." The queen glanced at Zhuang Yuyan's bulging belly and swallowed her words hard, "You should keep your heads steady."

"We, the servants, would never dare to lie. These three people are Xiao Pingzi from the Shangshi Bureau, Yurong from the Huanyi Bureau, and... Xiao Xizi, the eunuch who sweeps the palace of Consort Xian Gui." When Consort Xian Gui was mentioned, the eunuch was a little scared and lowered his head. "Xiao Xizi even said that Consort Zhao was too busy and it was so hard to plant flowers."

"What a wicked servant! He dares to interfere in the master's affairs," the queen sneered, "Come here, bring all three of them here."

Feng Jin held the teacup in his hand and added, "Call the virtuous concubine as well."

Soon, Consort Xian arrived. The other three were dragged in by several eunuchs and looked as if they had been beaten with a stick.

When Concubine Xian Gui saw the three people, her expression was normal, and she even showed some disgust because of the smell of blood, and covered the corners of her mouth with her hand. She thought that the emperor asked her to come because she had the right to assist in managing the harem, so she smiled and said, "I wonder what the emperor wants me to do?"

Looking at Concubine Xian Gui's appearance, Zhuang Yuyan thought that this matter was either related to Concubine Xian Gui's facial features, or Concubine Xian Gui was the best actor in the harem.

"Do you know this eunuch?" Feng Jin pointed at the eunuch named Xiao Xizi and asked expressionlessly.

Concubine Xiangui looked at it carefully for a few times, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, who is this servant? I really don't know him."

"My lord, this man is the eunuch who sweeps the palace," the queen said slowly, "He may be the evil slave who wants to harm Concubine Zhao's childbirth."

After hearing this, Concubine Xian Gui immediately understood that the emperor had summoned her to question her. Her face suddenly changed, and she knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, I really don't recognize this little eunuch."

Not to mention whether this little Xizi is a member of her palace, even if he is, how could she know a eunuch who only sweeps the streets? Who on earth wanted to frame her?

The palace maid who knelt down with Concubine Xian Gui carefully looked at Xiao Xizi a few times and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I...I have something to report."

"Speak," Feng Jin said coldly.

"I recognize this little Xizi. He was transferred to our palace from the Palace Department a few days ago. When Qian Wanyi was promoted some time ago, I brought our queen's congratulatory gifts. At that time, this little Xizi fell not far away, so I took a closer look at him. So this little Xizi once worked in Changtian Tower."

"Changtian Tower" The Queen looked at this little boy with some surprise. Originally, Xu lived in Changtian Tower, but after Xu was abandoned by the Emperor, Qian Wanyi was the one who made the decision. Then this matter...

After hearing this, the little boy cried out for innocence, saying that he had not done anything bad and did not know what kind of drugs could harm people.

"Let someone search Changtian Tower. I remember there are a lot of books in Changtian Tower," Feng Jin said with a gloomy face, "You can turn Changtian Tower upside down. There is no need to worry about anything. Just find the things."

The empress knew clearly that when Xu loved reading, the emperor doted on her and gave many books to Changtian Tower, including poetry and story books, as well as other rare books, including medical books.

After a while, Qian Wanyi came over, kneeling down with red eyes, but because the emperor's face was too gloomy, he didn't call her to stand up, so she had to kneel down. Listening to the footsteps coming and going behind her, and the three tortured palace maids behind her who couldn't even kneel down, her face turned pale.

An hour later, Gao Dezhong walked in quickly and said calmly, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards found a medical book in the floor-standing vase in Qian Wanyi's bedroom. The book showed signs of being read recently. The medicinal properties of the amazing prescription in the book are very similar to those found in the flowerpot."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room changed their expressions. Concubine Xian Gui wanted to strangle Qian Wanyi to death. If she didn't find out the truth now, she would be the one who would suffer today. She was the only one in the harem who raised the prince. If something happened to Zhuang Yuyan's child, she would be the first person to think of. Although she hated the child, she would not be stupid enough to touch the child. Otherwise, even if Zhuang Yuyan's child was gone, she would still suffer. What good would that do to her? It would just be a favor to her.

Qian Wanyi, this bitch!
