Prince Qi's Mansion, Wutong Garden.
Chu Xuanhan finally hurried back.
Yuchi Jiuyue didn't leave, she was waiting for him.
Hearing that he had returned to the palace, she hurried to the courtyard to greet him, "Prince..."
Chu Xuanhan interrupted him directly and asked anxiously, "How is the concubine?"
Yuchi Jiuyue said: "The palace doctor is incompetent and cannot save the heir. I have sent someone to the palace to invite the imperial physician to come."
Chu Xuanhan did not respond to her again. He quickly entered the wing room and went straight to the inner room. He went to see Mo Yaohua first, his eyes full of worry.
Yuchi Jiuyue's hands clenched subconsciously, filled with jealousy. Since they met, he had never cared about her so much.
The court doctor was still inside. When he saw Chu Xuanhan coming in, he quickly knelt down and explained Mo Yaohua's condition to Chu Xuanhan in detail.
Chu Xuanhan asked angrily, "Who is so bold as to drug the concubine? Leng Yan, investigate quickly and find the person!"
"Yes, master!" Leng Yan responded and retreated.
Chu Xuanhan glanced at the whole place, "How did you serve the concubine? You actually gave someone the opportunity to drug her, and no one was watching her meals?"
Nanny Wu knelt down hurriedly, "Your Highness, please calm down. I have been keeping a close eye on you every day since I followed you into the palace."
Chu Xuanhan said: "If that's the case, then how did this dirty thing get into the concubine's mouth and cause such a dangerous situation now?"
Nanny Wu hung her head, unable to explain, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I don't know what's going on..."
Chu Xuanhan looked at Jinqiu, "You are the concubine's personal maid. She trusts you so much. You are to blame for this matter!"
Jin Qiu also knelt down, "Your Highness, please calm down. Nanny Wu has always been in charge of the meals, and the Concubine has great trust in her."
Chu Xuanhan was furious. "All of you can only shirk responsibility. You'd better pray that the concubine is fine, otherwise I will not forgive you!"
Yuchi Jiuyue said, "Although they are wrong, the matter has not been fully investigated yet. There may be hidden secrets. It will not be too late to punish them after the truth is found out."
Chu Xuanhan frowned and looked at her, confusion in his eyes, "Why would the princess speak for them?"
There are only two women in his house, and he knows very well what goes on in private. This is not something she would do.
"I am only speaking from the facts. The concubine will still have to be served by them in the future. If she holds a grudge against them, wouldn't that harm her?"
Yuchi Jiyue not only spoke for the servants, but also considered Mo Yaohua, which made Jinqiu and Nanny Wu confused.
"How dare they!" Chu Xuanhan's eyes were like knives, sweeping towards the people kneeling on the ground, "Otherwise, I will order someone to beat them to death immediately!"
"Your Highness, calm down first. Don't let your anger get you in trouble." Yuchi Jiyue smelled alcohol on him. "Someone, bring tea!"
This was in Wutong Garden, not Mingyue Residence, so naturally it was Jinqiu who would make the arrangements. Things like serving tea and pouring water were not the responsibility of the low-ranking maids.
"Where's the imperial physician?" Chu Xuanhan took a sip of tea and put the cup down heavily. "Why hasn't he come yet? Has he grown legs? Could he have crawled here?"
Yuchi Jiyue soothed him softly, "It will be soon, Your Majesty, please be patient. After all, the imperial physician is in the palace, not in our house."

Prince Yu’s Palace, West Wing.
Mo Zhaohua had finished acupuncture for Chu Xuanchi and had just laid down.
Shuying came again to deliver the message, but because the lights were off, she could only report in a low voice in the outer room.
"Master, there is news from Prince Qi's mansion again. The palace doctor is unable to save the fetus, and Princess Qi has someone take her badge to the palace to find Concubine Liang."
"Are you going to call in the imperial physician? Although I was unable to see Mo Yaohua's condition with my own eyes, but after such a long delay, her hope is slim."
Although there was a delay between Shuying receiving the news and Yuchi Jiuyue asking someone to invite the imperial physician, the abortion drug was too strong.
Not to mention a moment's delay, even a delay of a stick of incense or even a cup of tea will make a huge difference in the result.
Chu Xuanchi chuckled, "That's really a coincidence. Old Six is not at home. How can Yuchi Jiyue handle it in time?"
Mo Zhaohua said: "Princess Qi is hoping that the child will not be born. Not only will she not deal with it in time, I'm afraid she will deliberately delay the process."
"Yes, and whether it was a coincidence or man-made today, I'm afraid Lao Liu will have to investigate it carefully. He will be very busy next."
Chu Xuanchi gloated over other people's misfortune. Anyone who dared to plot against Mo Zhaohua was his enemy, and Chu Xuanhan and Mo Yaohua were two of them.
Mo Zhaohua was considerate of his subordinates. "It's late at night, Shuying, go and have a rest. There's no need to report in detail. Just tell me the result directly when the time comes."
"Thank you, Princess." Shuying also felt that the process was not important, but the result was important, so she was happy to go back early and have a good sleep.
Chu Xuanchi hugged her and sighed, "Zhao Zhao is so good to them, if they are betrayed one day, how can they bear it?"
Mo Zhaohua was very open-minded. "It's okay. That's the punishment for not judging people well. It's what I deserve. It can teach me a lesson."
Chu Xuanchi didn't say anything else. He was very curious about what she had experienced to be able to see through everything at such a young age.
***
Imperial Palace, Changqiu Palace.
The imperial physician had already gone to Prince Qi's mansion, but Concubine Liang was restless.
Caiyu, the personal maid, advised her softly, "Don't worry, Madam. The imperial physician has left. Madam Concubine will be safe."
Concubine Liang frowned, "It's such a late period, but she was given an abortion drug. I don't know how those people are taking care of her."
Caiyu knelt on the ground and massaged her legs, "Who said it wasn't true? Unfortunately, the prince was out for a social event today and was unable to handle it in time."
Concubine Liang was suspicious, "How could it be such a coincidence that Han'er was not at home and Mo Yaohua was poisoned by such a dirty drug, and had to be treated by Yuchi Jiyue?"
Caiyu asked tentatively, "Does your majesty suspect Princess Qi? That shouldn't be the case. If she really wanted to take action, why would she wait until now?"
Concubine Liang was in the deep palace, and she was willing but unable to do anything, so she didn't think much about it, "Forget it, Han'er will investigate this matter herself."
"My lady, it's late, please go to bed." Caiyu advised again, "If there is any result in Prince Qi's Mansion, I will report it in time."
"How can I sleep well? If I can't keep the child, other people in the palace will take the opportunity to ridicule me."
Concubine Liang was not afraid of Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu, Concubine De and others. After all, their children were not as good as Chu Xuanhan. What she feared most was Concubine Chunhui.
Caiyu knew what she was thinking and could only advise, "Your Majesty, please think positively. If something unfortunate really happens, you can use the excuse of being heartbroken and falling ill to close the door and refuse visitors."
Concubine Liang nodded thoughtfully, "This is a good idea. You are really quick-witted. I haven't thought of it yet."
Caiyu flattered him, "It's all because of your Majesty's good training. When I first entered the palace, I knew nothing. It was all thanks to your teaching."
Concubine Liang promoted her and doted on her. "You are the only one who is sweet-mouthed and good at talking. You have won my favor. You should teach others more in the future."
"Yes, your Majesty." Caiyu responded readily, but she had already rejected it in her heart. It was impossible for her to really train others to compete with her for favor.
