Afterwards, the three imperial doctors looked solemn as they carefully picked up the queen's underwear one by one and examined them carefully. They also carefully checked every meal and the various furnishings in the Kunning Palace.
Doctor Hu frowned, his face full of confusion. After looking at Doctor Gu, the two looked at each other in surprise.
Almost all the items in Kunning Palace have been checked, but nothing has been found to be stained with musk.
What is missing?
The eyes of both men revealed distress and confusion. If they couldn't find out the truth, they would not be able to get past His Majesty.
Just when the two imperial doctors didn't know what to do, a young eunuch from the flower room hurried in.
"Aunt Miaoyue, the flowers from the flower room have been delivered today."
The young eunuch had a flattering smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was quite familiar with Miaoyue. After he came in, his eyes went straight to Miaoyue.
"Okay, put them all on the table, and I'll have someone rearrange them later."
Miao Yue nodded slightly and answered softly, with a hint of calmness in her voice.
At this moment, when Doctor Hu heard that it was someone sending flowers, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, as if he had a new idea.
He hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Miss Miaoyue, are these flowers placed in Kunning Palace every day?" Doctor Hu's eyes were filled with inquiry.
"Yes, Doctor Hu, the flower room has recently sent a lot of chrysanthemums over, and they will be placed everywhere in Kunning Palace."
Miao Yue answered seriously, with a hint of doubt on her face.
After hearing this, Doctor Hu quickly exchanged a glance with Doctor Gu, and there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding in their eyes.
He randomly picked a pot of chrysanthemums, reached out his hand, put the chrysanthemums to his nose and smelled it.
Hmm? Doesn't seem right?
Doctor Hu frowned even more tightly, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.
"Miss Miaoyue, go get a basin of water and put a small fish in it."
Doctor Hu pondered for a moment and then gave the order solemnly with a serious expression.
Although Miao Yue was confused, she nodded obediently and quickly did as she was told.
After Miaoyue brought the water with the fish, Doctor Hu picked the chrysanthemum petals and put them into the water.
Just now, Imperial Physician Jin said that there was musk in the Empress' body. Imperial Physician Hu naturally knew Imperial Physician Jin's medical skills, so there must be musk in Kunning Palace.
The flowers just delivered from the greenhouse did not seem to have the smell of musk, but there were some extremely tiny particles on the chrysanthemums that could not be seen without careful observation.
Doctor Hu did not dare to easily guarantee that the chrysanthemum was stained with musk.
However, musk has extremely strong diffusivity and penetration in water. Once dissolved in water, it can greatly stimulate fish and put them in an excited state.
Doctor Hu stared at the fish in the water, observing the fish's condition intently, and time passed by minute by minute.
Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, the fish became extremely active, swimming back and forth in the water.
Doctor Hu immediately had the answer in his mind and confirmed it immediately.
Doctor Gu was also standing by, watching everything, and then nodded at Doctor Hu.
Musk indeed.
In order to avoid suspicion, Li Jin went to other places to check other things. Naturally, this musk would be more convincing if it was checked by the imperial physician trusted by His Majesty.
In the sleeping hall.
Su Jingyao's thick and curly eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was about to wake up from her sleep.
Jun Zechen's face was filled with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, his eyes fixed on her.
She was pregnant without telling him... Did she really distrust him so much?
At this moment, Su Jingyao opened her eyes, and as her vision became clear, she saw Jun Zechen sitting next to her.
His handsome face was filled with deep worry, and he was looking at him without blinking.
Her brows suddenly frowned, a look of discomfort appeared on her face, and then she struggled to get up.
"Yaoyao, don't move. Have a good rest. Do you know that you are pregnant?"
Jun Zechen's voice was extremely gentle, with careful inquiry, and even a hint of pleading in his eyes.
He would rather she didn't know about the pregnancy at all than have her know about it and hide it from him.
Su Jingyao remained silent, just looking at Jun Zechen quietly, and Jun Zechen understood from her eyes.
She had always known.
Forget it, forget it. I guess it was because of my previous actions that she lost trust in me, so it was understandable that she didn't tell him.
Suddenly, Su Jingyao seemed to suddenly remember something. She covered her stomach tightly with both hands, her face full of panic.
"What happened to my child? When I fainted, I heard Miaoyun say that I was bleeding."
Su Jingyao's eyes were filled with obvious fear, and then she asked very carefully: "Is my child... still alive?"
"Don't worry, Yaoyao, the baby is still here. As long as Yaoyao takes good care of herself, our baby will be born smoothly."
Jun Zechen quickly spoke to comfort her. He reached out and gently held Su Jingyao's hand, his eyes full of comfort and determination.
At this time, Doctor Hu entered the bedroom. He looked serious and bowed respectfully.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty, Your Majesty, there is indeed musk in Kunning Palace, and I have found it."
Su Jingyao's fingers tightly pinched the corner of the quilt, as if trying to draw strength from the soft fabric.
Her voice trembled slightly, and her weakness could not be concealed.
But there was determination in his eyes, and he was determined to know the answer.
"What is it?"
"Your Majesty, the chrysanthemums delivered to your palace every day contain musk that has been washed away." Doctor Hu said in a calm tone.
