Two days later, the Queen's investigation results came out.

Snake-attracting powder was sprinkled on Dong Cainv's clothes.

The body of the maid in charge of washing clothes for Dong Cainu in the Clothing Bureau was found in a dry well.

The matter has only been investigated up to this point, and nothing can be found beyond that.

In the east side hall of Yongfu Palace, Dong Cainu was lying on the bed. After listening to the painting screen, she said, "After all, it can't be found out. Why does the Queen not want to check it out?"

Huaping frowned: "What does this mean, Miss Cainv?"

Dong Cainu stopped talking and lay on the bed with her eyes closed. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, down the side of her face, and seeped into the pillow.

Seeing her like this, Huaping didn't know what to say, so he bowed and said, "I'll take care of you, my little master. I'll take my leave first."

After she returned, she told the queen about Dong Cainü's reaction.

"Your Majesty, Dong Cainu probably thinks that it was you who touched her."

Hearing this, the queen cursed: "This idiot."

In the entire harem, I'm afraid no one hopes that Dong Cainu's child will do well more than she does.

Now, Dong Cainu's child is gone, and only Zhen Meiren is left.

Zhen Meiren's child is not as easy to snatch away as Dong Cainv's. She had to plan it carefully.

If Concubine Chun wasn't pregnant, she wouldn't have to be in such a hurry.

Thinking of this, the queen sighed.

Lu Zhaolin learned about the Queen's investigation results and didn't say much.

After the morning court on the second day, an imperial edict was issued to Yongfu Palace, and Dong Cainu was made a noblewoman and given the title Ping.

Dong Cainu was still in confinement, so Lu Zhaolin sympathized with her and let her lie on the bed to receive the order.

After the father-in-law who issued the decree left, Zhi Cui said: "Congratulations to the young master, I will call the young master Pingguiren from now on."

Ping Guiren casually threw the imperial edict aside and smiled sarcastically: "You're just a nobleman, what's there to be happy about? Zhenmei was promoted to a beauty as soon as she got pregnant, and Concubine Chun was promoted to concubine as soon as she got pregnant.

I am the only one who has not been promoted to the throne. In the past three months, His Majesty has only visited me a handful of times.

Now that the child is gone, a noble man has been granted a title. How ironic? "

Zhi Cui carefully picked up the imperial edict and originally wanted to advise her to be more cautious. Hearing her words now, she looked distressed: "My little master, I will take good care of myself. Your blessings are behind you."

Dong Guiren sighed: "No, I will never have such a blessing again."

······

At the same time, in Jingyang Palace, Dr. Fang had just finished diagnosing the pulse.

Seeing that he had a hesitant look on his face and didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Shiying asked, "But what's wrong with my pulse?"

Qiu Yu and A Yuan, who were standing beside her, also stared at Doctor Fang closely, fearing that something bad would come out of his mouth.

Doctor Fang, as if awakening from a dream, first said: "There is nothing wrong with the empress' pulse condition."

Hearing this, Jiang Shiying felt relieved and asked, "What's wrong with Imperial Physician Fang?"

Doctor Fang took a deep breath and said, "Can you please step aside, please?"

Jiang Shiying frowned: "Shut up? It's not the first day that Imperial Doctor Fang has served in the palace. How could he say such inappropriate words?"

If she really withdrew her surroundings, and a young concubine and a doctor of the opposite sex stayed alone in the house, and word spread, would her reputation be lost?

Doctor Fang cupped his hands and said, "I'm rude. I have something I want to say to your empress, but I don't know that the two girls in the room——"

Jiang Shiying said: "If Dr. Fang has anything to say, please just say it. Everyone in this room is trustworthy by me."

Doctor Fang thought about the investigation results he obtained two days ago.

Sixteen years ago, Yun Niang disappeared. In the same year, a new aunt appeared in the backyard of Jiang Mansion.

Another year later, the aunt died of dystocia during childbirth.

The daughter she gave birth to entered the palace last year and became His Majesty's concubine. Now she has become a pure concubine.

The face in front of her was exactly the same as Yun Niang's, there was absolutely nothing wrong with her.

With this thought in mind, Doctor Fang said, "I have a question to ask your Majesty. It may be a bit presumptuous."

Jiang Shiying's voice was as cold as gold: "Since there is some overstep, it's better not to ask the doctor Fang."

Doctor Fang cupped his hands and said, "Please forgive me, I would like to ask, what is the name of your biological mother?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shiying's eyes narrowed at first, and then she shot at him like a sharp knife: "Why does Dr. Fang ask this?"

Doctor Fang said: "Wei Chen mentioned to the empress before that Wei Chen had an old friend whose face was somewhat similar to that of the empress. In fact, it was not similar, but exactly the same. Wei Chen guessed that the empress' biological mother might be Wei Chen. An old friend."

Jiang Shiying asked: "What is the relationship between this old friend, Imperial Doctor Fang, and you?"

Doctor Fang said: "We promise each other for the rest of our lives."

Jiang Shiying was furious, pointed at him and said: "Mr. Fang! Although my biological mother has passed away, her reputation cannot be slandered by you!"

Doctor Fang knelt on the ground, made a great salute, then straightened up his upper body and said: "Wei Chen swears here that what Wei Chen said is not a lie. Otherwise, the sky will strike with thunder, and both humans and gods will be abandoned."

Jiang Shiying stared into his eyes. Doctor Fang was forced by her power, but there was determination in her eyes.

After a long while, Jiang Shiying said: "Mr. Fang, I just pretend that I have never heard what you said today. In the future, I don't want to hear it anywhere again."

Doctor Fang said: "Whether I believe it or not, since you are the daughter of an old friend, I will not let anyone hurt you at all."

Jiang Shiying had no expression on her face and only said: "Ah Yuan, please send Doctor Fang out."

Doctor Fang bowed again before following Ah Yuan out. Before going out, he turned around and said: "If you need me, please feel free to ask me. I will go through fire and water without any complaints."

After speaking, Jiang Shiying opened the door and walked out without waiting for anything to say or do.

That night, Lu Zhaolin came to Jingyang Palace for dinner again.

Although Jiang Shiying was pregnant and could not sleep with her, Lu Zhaolin did not leave her behind and often came to Jingyang Palace to accompany her.

The dinner was only halfway through when a young eunuch came in and whispered something in Yao Xingde's ear.

"What's going on?" Lu Zhaolin raised his eyes and asked.

Yao Xingde took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chun, the fifth prince wishes to see you."

At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing: "There are no palace attendants around the fifth prince."

After the words fell, Lu Zhaolin's face immediately darkened.

"Bring the fifth prince in." Lu Zhaolin put down the chopsticks in his hand and ordered: "Have someone go to Yongfu Palace and ask if Concubine Jin is unwilling to raise the fifth prince, otherwise why would she be so careless."

Yao Xingde said "Promise", then went out in person, holding the fifth prince's hand and entering.

When the fifth prince entered, Lu Zhaolin's face was no longer as ugly as before.

"Xiao'er has met the father and the pure mother concubine." The fifth prince saluted in a decent manner.

"Get up." Lu Zhaolin said, "Why are you here at Jingyang Palace at this hour?"

The fifth prince took out a purse from his sleeve and said, "Concubine Jin made chestnut cake today in the palace. Xiaoer remembered that Concubine Chun liked to eat chestnuts and wanted to give it to Concubine Chun."

Lu Zhaolin took the purse in his hand, and as soon as he opened it, he could smell the strong aroma of chestnuts, but the chestnut cake in the purse had broken into pieces.

The fifth prince also saw the broken state of the chestnut cake, blushed and said: "Xiao'er doesn't preserve it well, so it's better not to eat it as a pure mother."

With that said, he was about to take the wallet back from Lu Zhaolin.

Lu Zhaolin did not give it to him. Instead, he handed the purse to Jiang Shiying and said, "How can you, the pure mother concubine, dislike your thoughts?"

Jiang Shiying took the purse and waved to the fifth prince, motioning for him to come over.

When the fifth prince came to her side, she put her purse on the table, took the fifth prince's little hand with both hands, and said gently: "Good Xiao'er, thank you for thinking about Concubine Chun Mu. If you come here at this time, you can have dinner. Already?"

The fifth prince shook his head: "Not yet."

Jiang Shiying said: "Eunuch Yao, let someone buy a pair of bowls and chopsticks for the fifth prince."

Yao Xingde looked at Lu Zhaolin and saw that he nodded, so he arranged for someone to set up a seat on Lu Zhaolin's right side and set out the tableware.

The fifth prince had just sat down when someone from the palace sent word that Concubine Jin wanted to see him.

Lu Zhaolin frowned and said, "Send her in."
