"Su De, investigate for me. I want to see who has the audacity to put safflower in Consort Jing's pregnancy-preserving medicine. They're simply courting death."
"Since these people are so eager to die, then I will certainly grant their wish. Investigate immediately, and report back to me as soon as you find out."
Su De immediately obeyed the order and left. The emperor was currently furious, so Su De thought it best to leave first, lest the emperor lose his temper again.
Meanwhile, the Empress was restless in her palace. She hadn't expected that Chunhua would be discovered as soon as she put the medicine into Consort Jing's pregnancy-preserving medicine.
