For Zhuang Yuyan, it didn't matter who did it. What mattered was that she wanted to make those who wanted to do it give up. She glanced at Concubine Xian Guifei and Qian Wanyi who were kneeling on the ground. She played with an orange expressionlessly, and her slender fingers scratched the orange's skin, leaving ugly marks on the smooth skin.

Feng Jin noticed her action and guessed that she was afraid in her heart, so he looked at Qian Wanyi with an even more stern look, "I want to know when you came up with this idea." He flipped through the medical book that was presented to her, and on it was the harmful prescription.

"Dry winter melon seeds, safflower, blister beetles, centipedes, immature bitter orange, raw arisaema..." With each medicine name Feng Jin read out, the expression of the imperial physician waiting in the room changed more and more. If this medicine is taken, it will take half of a person's life immediately, and the child will naturally not be saved. But if it is kept in the room, it will not be a big deal for a while, but after a long time, even if the child in the belly is born, it will most likely be different from ordinary people. This method is really vicious enough.

"Tell me, what would be the consequences if this soil had been left there without anyone discovering it?" The imperial doctors had not yet finished their sigh when they heard the emperor asking them. They looked at each other for a moment, and finally turned their gaze to Imperial Doctor Mao. This doctor was an expert in gynecology and often came to check on Concubine Zhao, so it would always be right for him to answer.

"Your Majesty, one or two of these drugs can easily cause miscarriage. For example, poisonous things like blister beetles and centipedes are forbidden for the weak and pregnant women. Although winter melon seeds are not poisonous, they can induce labor." Doctor Mao had no choice but to kneel down and say, "If Concubine Zhao is exposed to these things for a long time, even if the fetus can be saved, it will be very likely to be impaired after birth."

"What a well-informed Qian Wanyi," Feng Jin squeezed the book in his hand and made a sound. After a while, he threw the book in front of Qian Wanyi and looked at her coldly, "Under this beautiful skin, there is such an ugly heart. I really misjudged you."

Qian Wanyi's lips twitched, but she couldn't say an excuse. She had indeed done it, and she hadn't even thought that things would go so smoothly. The only misfortune was that the things had already been brought into Xihe Palace and were discovered.

The Queen couldn't believe it. Why would Qian Wanyi do such a stupid thing? Qian Wanyi had no children, so what did it have to do with her whether Zhuang Luoyan had a child or not? Even if Zhuang Luoyan's child was really gone, what good would it do her?

"Qian Wanyi, why did you do such a thing?" The Queen frowned and asked, "Do you know the crime of murdering the heir to the throne?!"

"Of course I know," Qian Wanyi sneered, "I am not the only woman in the harem who wants her to have an abortion. I am afraid that even you, the Queen, do not want this child to be born."

"Shut up!" Feng Jian swept the cup at hand, and the cup flew up and hit Qian Wanyi, leaving a cut on her forehead and splashing tea all over her, looking very vicious.

Feng Jian had heard that a fetus has a soul. If he heard that people outside did not welcome his arrival, he might not stay. He pointed at Qian Wanyi angrily and said, "My child is the hope of all the people in the world. What's the point of keeping a vicious woman like you!"

The expectation of the world?

When Concubine Xiangui heard this, her face changed. She raised her head suddenly, but saw the calm expressions of the Empress and Concubine Zhao. She gritted her teeth and finally lowered her head.

Seeing that the emperor looked unhappy, the queen said, "You are wrong. I hope that Concubine Zhao can give birth to a child safely." She looked at Qian Wanyi calmly, but her tone was more serious than ever before. "I am already unable to have children. It is a good thing for me that the person in the harem can bear a prince for the emperor. Qian Wanyi, your thoughts can only represent your own. How can you know what others are thinking?"

Qian Wanyi looked at the Queen in disbelief. What did she mean by infertility? But the Queen no longer looked at her, as if what she had just said was just a trivial matter.

Not only Qian Wanyi, but even Concubine Xian Gui and Zhuang Luoyan were also very shocked by this matter. No one had ever mentioned that the Empress was infertile. Today, the Empress said such words in front of so many people. Wasn't she telling others that she, the Empress, was just an empty title and that the next Emperor had no blood relationship with her?

Feng Jian looked at the empress with a hint of surprise. He was slightly stunned and then said, "Cai Fu, why do you have to do this?"

The queen smiled in relief and said, "Your Majesty, it's only a matter of time. What's the point of hiding it?"

A matter of time? Zhuang Yuyan felt something was wrong when she heard this, but seeing the indifference and resignation on the empress's face, she understood that the empress might not only be talking about offspring, but also the Zhao family.

It turns out that the queen had always understood in her heart, but she chose to accept it. Zhuang Yuyan turned her head to look at Feng Jin, and suddenly thought that maybe because of the queen's thoughtful behavior, the emperor would not kill the Zhao family. If not, why would the emperor call the queen by her nickname?

Pick the hibiscus flowers, not the leaves. When I return home, I will ask my husband, how is my beauty compared to mine. Recalling this poem by Bai Juyi, Zhuang Yuyan's heart moved slightly, and she looked away, not looking at the indifferent smile on the queen's face.

Concubine Xian Gui stayed aside in silence. She didn't know what the Queen meant by this, but she subconsciously felt that this was not something she should know.

"I understand." Feng Jin's face showed a complex emotion, and then returned to normal. He looked at Qian Wanyi and said expressionlessly: "Qian Wanyi has a vicious mind and planned to harm the prince. I will give her three feet of white silk."

Qian Wanyi raised her head abruptly and looked at Feng Jin. Just as she was about to speak, an eunuch quickly blocked her mouth.

Concubine Xian was shocked. Although the emperor was not obsessed with women, most of the concubines who committed crimes were only demoted or sent to the cold palace. But now he wanted to kill Qian Wanyi directly! She looked at Zhuang Yuyan's bulging belly with jealousy and awe. How much did the emperor value this child? !

"Help your master go back and rest," Feng Jian glanced at Zhuang Yuyan who was sitting next to him, "Don't worry, I will give you instructions."

Zhuang Yuyan glanced at Qian Wanyi whose mouth was covered, and obediently took Yun Xi's hand and left the main hall. Only after they walked out of the main hall did her expression gradually return to normal.

A few days ago, the palace servants were reassigned, and people from each palace were transferred to each other. She had already memorized these people and was watching who would use whom. If nothing was discovered at this time, the person who did it would naturally be happy. If something happened, there would be someone to shirk responsibility.

The only regret was that the person who did it didn't expect that she would find out so quickly, so quickly that she didn't even have time to deal with the evidence. Thinking of this, Zhuang Yuyan sneered. She didn't like to embarrass women, but she couldn't let others embarrass her.

If Ruo Qian Wanyi didn't take action, she wouldn't jump into the trap she had set. She looked up at the sky and suddenly laughed, "Yun Xi, how many people in the harem are waiting to see the show?"

Yun Xi didn't dare to respond, so she could only say, "My Lady, as long as you are well, you don't have to worry about anything else."

"Of course, I don't have to worry," she smiled. She never thought too much about the harem. She just did her duty. That was the professional ethics of a concubine. In her previous life, she was able to do well in the workplace. In this place, she would naturally abide by the rules.

Seeing that she was smiling calmly, Yun Xi thought that she was in a bad mood, so she advised: "Now that the emperor has... punished Qian Wanyi, no one in the palace will dare to act so arrogantly in the future. Everything will be fine when the little prince is born." Imperial Physician Mao had already said that the queen was very likely to be pregnant with a prince, but the queen did not allow anyone to talk too much, so no one else knew.

Zhuang Yuyan glanced at Yunxi and sighed, "You girl just worry too much. I'm fine. When you go back, ask someone to bring the goose egg custard. I need some." Doctor Mao said that although goose eggs are not a rare thing, they can remove heat, detoxify and nourish the body, which is good for both mother and child, so she would have a bowl of goose egg custard every few days.

Yunxi took careful note of it.

In the main hall of Xihe Palace, Feng Jin looked at Qian Wanyi, whose mouth was covered and whose face was terrified, and said indifferently: "I don't care what you are thinking, but I cannot tolerate the plot to harm my offspring. Come, drag her away, and stay away from Xihe Palace when the execution is carried out."

Upon hearing this, Gao Dezhong hurriedly ordered someone to drag Qian Wanyi away, and he followed her out. He said to the leading eunuch, "You have to understand the rules. The emperor values ​​Concubine Zhao and the unborn child very much." After saying this, he threw a silver ingot to the man.

The leading eunuch immediately understood that Chief Eunuch Gao wanted someone to guide the soul to avoid offending the people in Xihe Palace. He was also smart and did not dare to take the money. He quickly exchanged it and said, "Don't worry, eunuch, I will do it beautifully. This murder of an unborn child is a crime even if it is brought to the underworld!"

Gao Dezhong nodded in satisfaction, and when the leading eunuch retreated with a flattering expression, he sneered. He looked at Qian Wanyi being dragged forward like an animal, and said to the young eunuch following him, "Do you know what this is called?"

The young eunuch nodded and bowed, "I don't know, please give me some advice, sir."

Gao Dezhong retracted his gaze and said calmly, "This is courting death." After that, he left the eunuch behind and walked into the main hall. The eunuch was left wondering, who would know that Qian Wanyi was plotting to kill the prince, and why did Eunuch Gao say it in such a confusing way?

Qian Wanyi was dragged away, and all the servants kneeling in the hall were also driven out. Only Xiao Xizi, who worked for Qian Wanyi, was dragged out and beaten to death with sticks, without even a chance to cry out for injustice.

After most of the people in the palace had been cleared out, Feng Jin looked at the empress and said, "The eldest prince is not young anymore, and it's time for him to live alone. You can find a suitable place in the palace and arrange a place for him to live." What he meant was that Concubine Xiangui could not interfere in the eldest prince's affairs.

"Your Majesty, I have a deep love for the eldest prince as mother..." With red eyes, Concubine Xiangui wanted to tell about the feelings between herself and the eldest prince, but was interrupted by Feng Jin.

"You have only been fostering the eldest prince for a few years. You are neither his mother nor his biological mother. How can you talk about the deep mother-son relationship?" Feng Jin glanced at her calmly. Seeing her aggrieved look, he said angrily, "If you forget the rules, let the nanny teach you well. You don't have to worry about this matter. Let the queen handle it."

Concubine Xian Gui was speechless for a moment, so she could only choke and say, "I obey your order."

"From now on, the affairs of this palace will be managed by you, the Queen," Feng Jin stood up, "I am confident in your work." After saying that, he left with his people.

The Queen hurriedly stood up and bowed to see him off. After the Emperor had gone far away, the Queen looked at the somewhat disappointed Concubine Xian Gui with a half-smile, "It's time for me to go back. Why don't you go with me? After all, this is Concubine Zhao's residence. We'd better not disturb her rest."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian Gui forced a smile and said, "Yes." But this smile was extremely bitter.
