Qin Shang was speechless when he heard Lin Zhan's words. He said with a bitter smile, "Junior sister, you can't do this. You have treated other people before."
"How can that be the same? Master said that I have an excellent talent, so I can heal people, but you can't do that, brother. If Master knew that you secretly prepared medicine for others, then your hands would be in trouble."
A devilish smile appeared on Lin Zhan's lips. Qin Shang could only sigh and agreed to steal the time book from the Imperial Hospital for her.
By the evening, Lin Zan got what he wanted. He quickly found the name of Doctor Fu and carefully read the records of his medical treatment in the palace.
Soon they found the record of Liu Qiuchan pushing Concubine Qin the day before, but strangely, one entry in the record seemed to have been crossed out by someone.
It was getting late, and Lin Zhan frowned and murmured, "Where did Doctor Fu go for the part that was painted over?"
When he thought of this, Lin Zan suddenly realized that maybe Doctor Fu went to Mingde Palace to look after Concubine Qin, but why was this part of the record crossed out?
Did something happen to Concubine Qin that she couldn't let others know about? That's why she erased the record of Doctor Fu going to Mingxia Palace.
Everything seemed to be connected all of a sudden. Lin Zan quickly wrote a letter to Jun Beiqi and asked Xiao Haizi to send it out, asking Jun Beiqi to keep a close eye on Doctor Fu's movements outside the palace.
Lin Zhan also obtained from Concubine De the list of guards on duty in each palace that day.
There are many guards in this palace. There must be someone who Concubine Qin cannot bribe. Maybe they have seen something that can give Lin Zhan a chance to rescue Liu Qiuchan.
With such expectations in his heart, Lin Zhan gave the list to Jun Beiqi and asked Jun Beiqi to investigate the guards on duty to see if they saw anything that night.
The investigation indeed revealed something. One of the guards really saw something. That night, he accidentally passed by Mingxia Palace and seemed to hear the sound of a woman crying.
However, in the palace, being deaf and blind is the only way to save one's life, so the guard just listened hurriedly and left quickly.
Another guard also saw the maid Xing Yuan beside Concubine Qin sneaking out through the back door with Doctor Fu from the Imperial Hospital.
Putting these two things together, Lin Zan became even more certain that Concubine Qin's miscarriage was not that simple.
"These alone are not enough, and are not enough to clear the Queen of the charges." Jun Beiqi said directly to Lin Zan.
Lin Zhan nodded somewhat disappointedly. "But we have searched the entire palace and only found these things. We can't arrest Doctor Fu openly and ask him to tell us what happened in Mingde Palace that night."
After the voice fell, Jun Beiqi, who was sitting next to him, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "We can really arrest Doctor Fu."
"Ah!" Lin Zhan opened his mouth in surprise.
Jun Beiqi acted quickly. He brought the time book from the Imperial Hospital and the guards to the Imperial Study and told the Emperor about Doctor Fu's entry and exit of Mingde Palace in the middle of the night.
This incident made the emperor blush. Normally, if the imperial physician took the concubine's pulse, he should record it truthfully in the time book.
However, Doctor Fu had clearly gone to Mingde Palace, but he erased his whereabouts from the time book. This attempt to cover up something that only made it more obvious naturally made the emperor suspicious of what shameful things Doctor Fu had done in Mingde Palace.
So, under the Emperor's instruction, Doctor Fu was arrested by Jun Beiqi and the Imperial Guards. This matter reached Concubine Qin's ears, and she turned pale with fright in an instant. "Why did the Crown Prince arrest Doctor Fu?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that Doctor Fu was caught by the Crown Prince for changing the time book without permission. The Emperor thought he was hiding something, so he ordered the Crown Prince to arrest him." Xing Yuan stood aside with a worried look on her face.
Concubine Qin was afraid that what was going on behind her back would be leaked, so she gritted her teeth and dragged her weak body to the imperial study to plead with Imperial Physician Fu. She also admitted that Imperial Physician Fu had come to Mingde Palace on the eve of her miscarriage.
"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I had a bloated stomach that night, so I asked Doctor Fu to check my pulse. Later, I felt embarrassed, so I asked Doctor Fu to erase the whereabouts in the time book. I didn't expect that Your Majesty would misunderstand me. I am guilty."
After Concubine Qin had a miscarriage, her body was already weak, and at this moment, she knelt pitifully before the emperor, which instantly aroused the emperor's sympathy.
"So that's how it is. My beloved concubine has done nothing wrong. Get up quickly!" The emperor came out from behind the table and helped Concubine Qin up.
Concubine Qin snuggled into the emperor's arms and said, "Then can the emperor release Doctor Fu? After all, my body was taken care of by Doctor Fu. I am used to him and don't want to change him."
"Of course. Someone, come and release Imperial Doctor Fu." The emperor waved his hand and ordered someone to release Imperial Doctor Fu.
This made Concubine Qin slowly breathe a sigh of relief, but before she could completely exhale, she saw Jun Beiqi and Lin Zan coming with Doctor Fu who looked a little embarrassed.
Seeing this scene, Concubine Qin's heart couldn't help but tighten. She felt extremely uneasy and confused.
"Father, I have something to say." The prince came up to the two of them, then bowed and said to the emperor.
The emperor looked at him suspiciously, but still nodded and said, "What's the matter?"
"I have found out why Doctor Fu erased his whereabouts from his time book, but this matter is of great importance, so I must report it to my father." Jun Beiqi said seriously and solemnly.
Concubine Qin quickly laughed and said, "Your Highness, why are you so serious? It's just that I feel ashamed of having abdominal distension, so I asked Doctor Fu to conceal the fact that I went to Mingde Palace. How can it be considered a major event?"
"This prince cannot agree with what Queen Concubine Qin said." Jun Beiqi's expression was still very cold, and he spoke bluntly to Queen Qin.
As soon as these words came out, the feeling of uneasiness in Concubine Qin's heart gradually spread, and even her body began to tremble slightly. The emperor frowned slightly, and his face gradually became gloomy. "Why do you say that, Prince? What happened?"
"Your Majesty, the reason why Imperial Physician Fu went to Mingde Palace that night was not because Concubine Qin had abdominal distension, but because Concubine Qin had a miscarriage that night, and the prince was stillborn." Jun Beiqi said shockingly.
Qin Fei's legs went limp in an instant, but she managed not to slide to the ground, thinking of a strategy in her mind.
