If someone else died suddenly in the Imperial Garden, it could be said to be a sudden illness, but since Imperial Physician He could go to treat Queen Song, there must be no physical discomfort.

Besides, most of the deaths in the palace were caused by someone else.

He went to treat Queen Song, but the patient died when he came out of Fengyi Palace. It was hard for Shen Wan not to suspect that Doctor He's death was related to Queen Song.

While Shen Wan was thinking about this, Xie Jingyan called out, "Chen Feng."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the window was pushed open and Chen Feng flashed into the room, "What do you want, sir?"

Xie Jingyan said, "Go and find out the cause of death of Doctor He, and then find out what disease Queen Song had?"

Obviously he also suspected that Doctor Xu's death was related to Queen Song.

Chen Feng took the order and retreated.

It was already very late at that time, and by the time Chen Feng finished his investigation and reported to Xie Jingyan, it was already the next morning.

After Xie Jingyan finished his morning exercise, Chen Feng stepped forward and said, "Master, I asked Eunuch Yuan to check. The queen has been feeling tired and has a poor appetite recently. She even felt nauseous when she woke up in the morning..."

Why does this symptom feel so familiar?

Like...

Just as Xie Jingyan realized why he felt so familiar, Chen Feng whispered, "Does it resemble the symptoms you had when you were sick for the princess?"

Swish.

Xie Jingyan's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He glared at him, and Chen Feng was almost frightened to the point of turning around and running.

Xie Jingyan said coldly, "What about the cause of death of Doctor He? Have you found out?"

Chen Feng hurriedly said, "The imperial physician examined Imperial Physician He's body and found no signs of poisoning or serious injuries. He suspected that he died of a sudden illness. The body has been sent back to the He residence."

Xie Jingyan said, "Ask the Ministry of Justice to bring a coroner to perform an autopsy."

Chen Feng hurried to do it.

Xie Jingyan had always suspected and even firmly believed that Prince Cheng and Queen Song were having an affair. In addition, a few days ago, Queen Song's personal maid went out of the palace to buy abortion pills and was caught by Yin Shuang, so he asked Chen Feng to replace them with abortion-preserving pills. Now Queen Song is showing symptoms of morning sickness again, and the imperial physician He who took her pulse died as soon as he left Fengyi Palace. It would be fine if Imperial Physician He died of a sudden illness, but if he died an unnatural death, then the abortion pills that were replaced were probably not used by Queen Song to harm others, but taken by herself.

The Minister of Justice was originally on Xie Jingyan's side. In addition, the emperor had given Xie Jingyan a token, allowing him to mobilize people from the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple and the Censorate to do things. To a certain extent, the Minister of Justice had to listen to Xie Jingyan.

Chen Feng went to the Ministry of Justice to pass on the message, and the Minister of Justice personally brought the coroner to Doctor He's house.

After Xie Jingyan finished his morning exercise, he took a shower and went back to the room to have breakfast with Shen Wan.

After breakfast, I accompanied Shen Wan for a walk in the garden. We walked there and came back holding her in my arms.

Just as he reached the gate of the courtyard, Chen Feng appeared and reported, "Master, the results of the autopsy by the Ministry of Justice are out."

"The coroner found a short needle as thin as a hair in Doctor He's heart. It was that short needle that killed Doctor He."

As expected, he died a violent death.

Shen Wan struggled to get down, and Xie Jingyan let her go.

He said, "I want to go to the palace."

Shen Wan glanced at the sky. It was almost time for lunch. Why was he still going to the palace?

However, Shen Wan knew that Xie Jingyan did not like to go to the palace. He would not go even when the emperor called him. So he must have important matters to attend to at this time. So she did not stop him.

Before Xie Jingyan entered the palace, he went to the pharmacy to find Doctor Tao to get some things, and then rode into the palace.

When he arrived at the imperial study, it was already time for lunch, and the eunuch brought the imperial meal into the study.

The emperor didn't expect Xie Jingyan to come to the palace at this time, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"No."

"Then accompany me for dinner."

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and prepared to stand up.

Xie Jingyan said, "I have something to ask Father."

The emperor knew that his son would not come to the palace for no reason, so he said, "Let's talk while we eat."

Xie Jingyan's eyes swept across the emperor's face and looked at Eunuch Yuan, "Send someone to Fengyi Palace and tell them that father wants to discuss something with the queen."

emperor,"……"

Eunuch Yuan, "..."

Hearing these words, Yuan Gong's heart trembled.

I've seen bold people, but I've never seen anyone as bold as Prince Ling.

Prince Ling's words were tantamount to a false imperial decree, and he even said it in front of the emperor.

If the emperor were to investigate, Prince Ling would lose his head.

The emperor's face was very dark, "Is there anything I need to discuss with the queen?"

Xie Jingyan said, "Princess Shouchun's marriage."

Although the emperor can make the decision directly on this matter, Queen Song is the biological mother of Princess Shouchun. It is reasonable for the emperor to discuss this matter with her.

but--

"Is this something you should worry about?"

The emperor's face was filled with anger, thinking that Xie Jingyan really came for Princess Shouchun's marriage.

He gave so many tasks to Xie Jingyan, but Xie Jingyan didn't take any of them. As long as the royal princess was not related to the marriage, it was not a major event of the court and it was not Xie Jingyan's turn to intervene. He even picked meal times to enter the palace. In the eyes of the emperor, this was not doing his job properly.

Xie Jingyan looked at Eunuch Yuan and said, "Send someone to pass the message first."

Eunuch Yuan wanted to go, but he didn't dare.

Eunuch Yuan looked at the emperor. The emperor didn't say anything, so Eunuch Yuan took it as the emperor's agreement and hurried out.

Fengyi Palace.

The maid put the food on the table.

Queen Song sat on the phoenix chair. When she smelled the food, she couldn't suppress the nausea and the uneasiness that kept rising in her heart.

Nanny Du came over with a tray containing a bowl of pitch-black medicine.

If you get a little closer, you can smell the bitterness emanating from it.

Queen Song looked at the medicine brought to her eyes, her eyelids twitched violently, and she felt panicky as if something big was going to happen.

She clenched her hands, cold sweat broke out on her palms, her arms felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds and she couldn't lift them, and she didn't dare reach out to take the medicine.

Some medicines can be fatal if not taken properly.

Madam Du said, "Madam, if you don't drink it now, the medicine will get cold."

Queen Song steeled herself and reached out for the medicine bowl, but just as she was about to drink it, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Xizi followed the palace maid in and said, "Queen, the Emperor asked you to go to the imperial study..."

Why would the emperor ask her to go to the imperial study?

Queen Song became increasingly uneasy. She asked, "Does Eunuch Xiao Xizi know why the Emperor wants to see me?"

While speaking, Nanny Du stuffed a purse into Xiao Xizi's hand.

Xiao Xizi grinned and said, "I heard from Eunuch Yuan that it was to discuss the marriage of Princess Shouchun."

Princess Shouchun has reached the age of marriage and is indeed old enough to get married.

The Crown Prince of Xiliang was assassinated and fell off a cliff and disappeared. No one saw him alive or dead. When the news reached the capital, Queen Song wanted to find a good marriage for her daughter, Princess Shouchun. The Queen Mother could no longer tolerate her, nor her two children. If Da Chu and Xiliang went to war, it would be fine if they won, but if they lost and needed a princess to marry, the Queen Mother would definitely let her daughter, Princess Shouchun, go.

She felt more at ease when the marriage was settled early.

Queen Song put down the bowl of medicine in her hand and stood up.

Madam Du said, "This medicine..."

"Wait until I come back before drinking."

Unfortunately, after this trip, she would never have the chance to return to Fengyi Palace.
