When the queen rushed to Xihe Palace, she saw a familiar-looking palace maid carrying a basin of blood, and she stopped in her tracks.

"Your servant pays homage to the Empress." When Tingzhu saw the Empress, she bowed and moved the basin to the side to prevent the bloody smell from impacting the Empress.

"No need to be so polite. How is your queen now?" The queen did not expect this to happen. Regardless of whether Zhuang Yuyan had any weight in the emperor's heart, this incident was her dereliction of duty as the queen.

"Your Majesty, she is still in a coma. The doctor said that her life is not in danger. She has lost too much blood, but the medicine cannot be too strong. She can only be nursed back to health slowly." Ting Zhu said with red eyes, "I beg your Majesty to find the murderer."

The Queen's face was filled with concern and anger: "I will definitely give justice to Zhao Xianrong, you go and do your work." After seeing Ting Zhu leave, the Queen's face became a little heavy. There was so much blood in the basin, and she was afraid that the murderer wanted to kill Zhuang Yuyan. Perhaps Zhuang Yuyan noticed it, but there was a deviation.

Thinking back on the recent events, they have always been related to Zhuang Yuyan, and it is obvious that someone wants to frame her, and even drags in a lot of people. It is really hard to figure out who has such a deep hatred for Zhuang Yuyan.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here."

Feng Jian said with a sullen face, "Let her in, and summon the two noble concubines and Ning concubine as well."

When the queen walked into the inner room, she smelled a scent of herbs mixed with a faint smell of blood. After paying her respects to the emperor, she carefully glanced at Zhuang Yuyan lying on the bed, and her eyebrows couldn't help but move. Zhuang Yuyan's skin was originally fair, and this time the excessive blood loss made her face as pale as paper, as if she would die if she didn't breathe.

"Your Majesty, why is Zhao Xianrong like this?" The Queen took a breath and widened her eyes in disbelief.

"You don't know, how can I know?" Feng Jin pushed the teacup beside him, obviously unhappy. "You said to remove Zhao Xianrong's name card and let her rest. I've been busy with court affairs recently and rarely go to the harem. Who knew things would turn out like this. What about Zhao Xianrong's share? What about the servants in the palace? Could it be that Xianrong only has two people to serve her in the palace, and even has to drink last year's stale tea?!"

"Your Majesty, I really didn't know that the servants in the Palace Department dared to do such a thing." The Queen frowned and said, "A few days ago, I was worried that Zhao Xianrong was not in good health after giving birth, so I gave her a lot of things. Who knew it would turn out like this."

"The noble concubine Shu has arrived, the noble concubine Xian has arrived, and the noble concubine Ning has arrived."

When the queen heard the arrival of the three people, she did not react in any other way, but continued to explain to the emperor, "Your Majesty, there is a quota of people serving Zhao Xianrong, and I have never asked anyone to withdraw any servants from Xihe Palace, so I really don't know about these things."

The three concubines entered the room and heard the queen's explanation. They also saw Zhao Xianrong lying on the bed, not knowing whether she was alive or dead. They immediately felt that the matter was a bit tricky. Who would have expected to encounter such a thing as soon as they arrived?

After the three men paid their respects to the emperor, they did not dare to speak any more. They just watched the imperial physician throw pieces of blood-stained cloth aside. There was a silver needle stuck in Zhuang Weiyan's head, which seemed to be used to stop the bleeding.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Xianrong's bleeding has stopped. She should wake up in about an hour." The judge stepped forward carefully and said, "Your Majesty's injuries are very serious, and the injury is to the brain, so she must not be stimulated in the near future. Otherwise, her life may be in danger."

"I understand. You just need to treat Zhao Xianrong well. If there is anything missing, someone will naturally send it to you. If anything happens to Zhao Xianrong..." Feng Jin looked at the judge coldly and did not say what he had not finished, but the other party already knew what he meant.

"The Queen is in charge of the harem, and the three of you are assisting in managing the harem, yet something like this can still happen," the Emperor said to the judge, before turning to look at the Queen and the others. "If the harem is in such a state, how can I still focus on handling the affairs of the court?"

These words were enough to destroy the emperor's heart. The unrest in the harem caused the emperor to lose interest in state affairs. This was a denial of the empress. If the emperor wanted to depose the empress, this sentence alone would be enough.

The queen staggered, but she had a vague guess in her heart that this time, some people might want to kill two birds with one stone. Not only this time, but also the time when Zhuang Yuyan had a miscarriage, the victim was not only Zhuang Yuyan, but also her.

Thinking of this, the queen looked at the other three people and then apologized to the emperor. She didn't like Zhuang Yuyan, but she didn't like others using Zhuang Yuyan to plot against her. "Your Majesty, I will definitely investigate this matter carefully."

The emperor nodded and said in a soothing tone, "I know it's not easy for you to manage the harem. Just investigate the matter thoroughly and don't be too hard on yourself."

Concubine Shu Gui glanced at the Emperor and the Empress, and her gaze finally fell on the person on the bed.

When Zhuang Yuyan woke up, she felt a throbbing pain in her head, and it was buzzing. As soon as she moved it, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"Madam, are you awake?" Yun Xi saw Zhuang Yuyan move and hurriedly said, "Don't move. The imperial physician said that you have injured your head and you can't move around."

Yun Xi's words reminded Zhuang Yuyan what had happened. She had discovered that someone was secretly observing her in the past few days, so she deliberately strolled in the lotus pond and let someone make her fall into the water. She knew how to swim and was not afraid of the tactics of pushing people into the water. But the opponent was trying to smash her to death and then push the body into the water. If she hadn't known that there was someone behind her and had avoided it in time, she would have been dead.

In palace dramas, people usually push people around like water, but why is it so bloody and violent in her drama? So it can be seen that empiricism kills people, and she is really lucky that she has not yet become an amnesiac idiot.

As expected, if you don’t have the fate of a romance heroine, then don’t have the disease of a romance heroine.

"My dear, are you awake?"

Just as Zhuang Luoyan was about to turn her head, a warm hand held her down, "Don't move, I'm sitting right here."

She rolled her eyes to the side and saw a bright yellow color. She tried to look up and saw that the emperor looked tired. She saw that he still had a smile on his face after waking up.

"emperor?"

Feng Jin looked at the dazed expression on Zhuang Yuyan's face, knowing that she had not yet fully come to her senses, so he said softly, "You are seriously injured. You cannot move freely for the next two days." After that, he stroked Zhuang Yuyan's pale cheek and asked, "Do you remember what happened?"

"I don't remember clearly, I just felt something was wrong behind me, so I looked back. I only had time to see a piece of clothing, and then I heard a buzzing sound..." Zhuang Yuyan looked at the emperor in confusion, "Your Majesty, am I dreaming or what?"

"You are not dreaming, someone is trying to harm you." Feng Jin took his hand back and sighed, "Do you remember whether it was a palace maid's or a eunuch's dress?"

"It seems to be a palace maid..." Zhuang Weiyan stared blankly at the person beside the bed, as if she still couldn't believe that the emperor was sitting next to her.

"How can a palace maid be so strong?" Feng Jin sneered, "I'm afraid she's a fake palace maid."

"Your Majesty, you haven't slept all night, it's already three o'clock in the morning..."

"No need to say more, I know my body very well." Feng Jin interrupted Gao Dezhong's words of advice, his eyes still on the stupid Zhuang Yuyan.

There are many women in the harem, but not many of them treat him as a man, a husband. He has always known Zhuang Yuyan's feelings. Although he is surprised that a woman would enter the palace just for him, this is the only special thing about her.

After thinking about it and comparing it over and over again, this woman was not the best. Even if he spoiled her a little more, it would not be to the point where he could not bear to let her go. But when he knew that she almost died because of his negligence, he felt that the reason he did not want to care about Xihe Palace these days was because of that bit of reluctance.

Maybe he couldn't bear to be loved by someone, or maybe he couldn't bear to have a woman treat him as a simple man, a simple husband.

Whatever the reason, he just couldn't bear to see her die. The palace was lonely, so he should leave a place for her to feel a little relieved.

"I thought the emperor didn't want to see me anymore," Zhuang Yuyan looked at the emperor in a daze, "Your Majesty, I didn't harm Mr. Ye, and I don't know what's going on..."

"You don't have to say more. I already understand." Feng Jin pressed the quilt for her. "You are seriously injured. Don't worry about it. I believe you."

Just one word "believe" was enough to make the other party's eyes light up. Feng Jin's heart softened, and he gave up his original plan to leave. He personally fed Zhuang Yuyan the medicine, and only left the inner room when he saw that Zhuang Yuyan was drowsy and asleep.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we found this item in the rockery next to the lotus pond."

Feng Jin looked as he was told, and saw that the servant was holding a hammer half an arm's length in his hand. Although the handle of the hammer was short, the hammer was very large, so if a strong person was hiding in the wide-sleeved robe, it would be difficult to detect it. This might be the reason why the corner of the robe that Zhuang Yuyan saw was the style of a palace lady.

The Queen looked at the rusty hammer and thought of Zhao Xianrong's not-so-strong body. If this thing had hit her more accurately, Zhuang Yuyan would be dead. The Emperor would probably be dissatisfied with her for this and even punish her.

So... who is the murderer?

The queen slowly looked at the three people standing aside.
