The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

"Your Majesty, it seems that the empress has been taking a contraceptive drug for a long time, which is why she is unable to conceive." Doctor Chen said.

"This is impossible!" Jing Shu immediately denied it, she said in shock, "I pay very close attention to the food and clothing I spend every day. I even don't light incense in the palace now, for fear of affecting pregnancy, so how can I get contraceptive medicine?"

"If the empress did not intend to prevent pregnancy, then someone could only have tampered with the empress's meals." Dr. Chen said.

"Your Majesty!" Jing Shu became anxious upon hearing this. She turned to look at Lu Zan pitifully, tears welling up in her eyelashes instantly, "Your Majesty, did you hear that? Someone actually wants to harm me! Your Majesty, I have never harmed you. But why are there always people who refuse to let me go? Who hates me so much? He even wants to deprive me of the qualification to become a mother!"

When Lu Zan heard this, his expression instantly turned gloomy and cold.

He quickly hugged her tightly and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I will find out."

Although there is a small kitchen in Yicui Palace, Jing Shu found it troublesome and never asked Xiu Qing to use it, so Xiu Qing only occasionally turned on the fire to make a dessert for her.

"Wang Zhong!"

"The slave is here!"

"Go and check. All the servants in the imperial kitchen who have handled Yuan Jieyu's meals will be sent to the Shenxing Department for torture! You can watch it yourself!" Lu Zan ordered in a cold voice. He wanted to He looked at Jingshu, "As for the people in your palace?"

"Xiu Qing and Chen Xiao will definitely not harm my concubine." Jing Shu quickly said with certainty, "Xiu Dong just followed my concubine, so naturally there is no such possibility."

"Then take the remaining people to the Criminal Punishment Department for interrogation!"

"I obey the order!" Wang Zhong immediately received the imperial order and took away all the people in Yicui Palace except Xiu Qing, Xiu Dong and Chen Xiao. Even Chi Shuang was not spared. Then he went to the imperial dining room to get some people.

Word spread quickly.

Suddenly, people in the palace were panicked.

Jing Shu had a problem with her diet, so naturally she couldn't eat this lunch.

"Doctor Chen, can you check if there are any contraceptive drugs in these foods?" At this time, Jing Shu suddenly said.

"I obey the order." Doctor Chen immediately inspected each dish carefully.

"Of these dishes, only this sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root contains contraceptives." He quickly said.

"Sure enough, today's food was brought from the imperial dining room by the people in front of the emperor. Basically, it is according to the emperor's preference. Only this sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root is my favorite. The emperor specially ordered the imperial dining room to serve it. This palace made it, and the emperor never likes to eat lotus roots, so he has never touched this dish!" Jing Shu said with a frown.

"The people in the imperial dining room know the emperor's preferences very well and know that the emperor will not touch this dish, so this is only for the empress." Doctor Chen said.

Lu Zan sat there with cold eyes, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

"Mr. Chen, if I have taken this medicine for so long, what bad effects will it have on my body? Will it be difficult to conceive a dragon heir in the future?" Jing Shu asked again.

"There will be some effects in the short term, but you don't need to worry, I'll just prescribe some medicine for you," Doctor Chen said.

Jing Shu nodded with confidence.

As long as it doesn't cause infertility, it's fine.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how about I use the small kitchen to make some lunch? You can't stay hungry forever." At this time, Xiu Qing said cautiously.

Jing Shu looked at Lu Zan.

Seeing that he had no objection, he nodded to Xiu Qing and said, "Go ahead and make something the emperor likes to eat."

"My slave obeys the order." Xiu Qing quickly withdrew.

After Xiu Qing had prepared lunch and Jing Shu accompanied Lu Zan to finish it, Wang Zhongcai finally came back with a bloody smell.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your servants are useless. None of those servants admitted their guilt. They all said they were wronged." Wang Zhong said with a look of shame.

"They are all unjust? Then kill them all." Lu Zan said in an understatement.

"My slave obeys the order." Wang Zhong immediately agreed and was about to go out to deliver the order.

"Your Majesty, can the people of Yicui Palace spare their lives?" However, Jing Shu said.

Lu Zan said nothing, just looked at her, obviously disapproving.

"Your Majesty, something like this happened, and they were tortured but still refused to speak out. Maybe they were really unjust. If we kill them like this, who will dare to serve me in the future? Even if they are carrying the Emperor's orders Even though I'm here, I don't dare to be loyal to my concubines anymore." Jing Shu pleaded for them.

"What you said makes sense. If that's the case, then I will spare their lives. But since these slaves cannot be trusted by you and don't have much loyalty in ordinary times, then send them all to serve elsewhere. I will choose some for you. Come here." Lu Zan said.

"Your Majesty, everyone else can be sent away, but Chi Shuang should stay with my concubine." Jing Shu said again.

"Have you thought about it carefully? If I come back to you again, there's no guarantee that I won't be resentful of you because of today's punishment." Lu Zan looked at her.

Jingshu didn't give a reason, just nodded affirmatively.

Lu Zan did not refuse this time and readily agreed.

Not long after, Chi Shuang was brought back covered in blood and sent directly to her room.

Jingshu asked Xiudong to take care of her.

He was filled with doubts in his heart, but he also had a strange intuition.

Although I couldn't figure out who in the harem had such great ability to actually make the person who drugged her food would rather die than admit the master behind it, but I had an inexplicable feeling that Concubine Xie did not do this.

Being able to start from the emperor's heir would fundamentally cut off her hope of establishing a foothold in the harem in the future.

This method is much smarter and more ruthless than Concubine Xie's.

The coldness on Jingshu's eyebrows spread little by little, and she suddenly remembered that when Zheng Liangdi committed suicide and entrusted her maids Chunxin and Chunlan to her, she had asked Chunlan to whisper a message to her.

That sentence means that none of the prince's women are simple.

At that time, Jing Shu thought that Zheng Liangdi was talking about Concubine Xie, but now she suddenly realized that maybe they were not the only ones involved in the fight between Concubine Xie and her concubine.

When something like this happened, almost half of the people in the imperial dining room died.

Lu Zan's methods were cruel, but when it came to the emperor's heirs, even the courtiers had no objections. After all, the difficulty of his heirs was not a blessing to the country.

"Since I have arranged a small kitchen for you, I will let people cook in the small kitchen from now on, and ask Dr. Chen to ask you for a safe pulse every three days." Lu Zan scolded Jing Shu.

This time, she was honest and didn't talk back.

However, such a well-behaved appearance made Lu Zan quite intolerable. It was obvious that she had done nothing wrong, so why should she suffer such a big crime?

Who is the person behind the scenes?
