Afterwards, the three imperial physicians 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 Kunning Palace.
Doctor Hu frowned, his face full of confusion. After looking at Doctor Gu, they looked at each other in surprise.
Almost all the items in Kunning Palace have been checked, and nothing has been found to be stained with musk.
What is missing?
Both of them revealed distress and confusion in their eyes. If they couldn't find out, they would not be able to pass the test of His Majesty.
Just when the two imperial doctors didn't know what to do, a young eunuch from the greenhouse 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. 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 hurried 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 shop has recently sent a lot of chrysanthemums here, and they will be displayed in various places 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? Something 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 Miaoyue 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 small particles on the chrysanthemums that could not be seen unless you looked closely.
Doctor Hu did not dare to easily guarantee that the chrysanthemum was stained with musk.
However, musk has extremely strong diffusivity and penetrating power 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 its condition intently as time passed by.
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 all this, 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 locked on her.
She hadn't told him she was pregnant... Did she really distrust him so much?
At this moment, Su Jingyao opened her eyes, and as soon 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 she knew about it but kept 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 think 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 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 safely."
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 and Her Majesty the Queen. Your Majesty, there is indeed musk in Kunning Palace. 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, revealing an unconcealable weakness.
But his eyes were filled with determination, 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.
