"what?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.

Longsha, Puguang, the palace maids, and Lanyue, who was serving in the inner hall today, knelt down on the spot.

"Your Majesty, recently, apart from taking medicine, the Queen has been eating meals prepared by the imperial kitchen!" Pu Guang said to Yinzhen in panic and helplessness.

At this time, Longsha took advantage of his age, took a few deep breaths to suppress his fear, and spoke.

“Your Majesty, it is Lan Yue who has been serving meals these days, and Her Majesty occasionally asks her to negotiate with the imperial chef to change the dishes.

The Queen likes to drink milk tea. Since Pu Guang taught Fei Shan how to make tea five days ago, Fei Shan has been responsible for making tea.

Baiduan was mainly responsible for cutting fruits for the Empress and preserving the brewed fruit drinks.

I go to the pharmacy of the Imperial Hospital every day to prepare medicine for the Empress.

This... most of the people coming and going are from our side. How did this poison get into the Empress' mouth...

The meal, tea, and fruit cuts from this morning have not yet been consumed, and there are still some unfinished cakes in the palace from yesterday. Your Majesty, can you ask the Imperial Physician Akedun to help check them out?"

Yinzhen recognized these two personal maids of Concubine Qi.

Pu Guang became famous for crying together with Concubine Qi during the greeting ceremony a week ago.

Longsha's mature and calm attitude made Yinzhen and Su Peisheng look at him with respect.

Today's incident is no exception.

Although the poisoning caused panic, Yinzhen did not panic.

Pu Guang is eager to protect his master, but he is young and always panics when things happen. It is right for him to help his master find the murderer, but he lacks details.

The phrase 'meals from the imperial kitchen' refers to a whole week's worth of meals. Where should I look to get a clue?

But Longsha was different. He was equally frightened, but he was able to organize his words and describe Concubine Qi's diet and habits in an orderly manner during these days.

Originally, he felt that Longsha was too boring, and it was not a good match for her to serve Concubine Qi in the palace all the time. Now, he thought that it was because Concubine Qi's father and mother were worried about her, so they specially let this experienced old girl accompany her into the palace.

Yinzhen nodded and signaled Longsha to take Akundun to check, while he sat on the couch and comforted Wen Yuan.

"But are you scared?" he asked Wen Yuan.

"…Your Majesty, I am a little confused now…" Wen Yuan said, propping herself up and sitting upright in front of Yinzhen, repeating,

"Just now, the imperial physician Akden said that it was a minor case, drug-induced poisoning?"

She spoke each word slowly and in a questioning tone, as if seeking confirmation from Yinzhen.

But she did not wait for Yinzhen's answer. As if she was stuck, she stared at Yinzhen blankly and blinked. Then she reached out to touch her face, pinched her arm, rubbed her stomach, and looked down at her whole body.

After a while, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Yinzhen again, staring at him intently, and asked,

"I've been poisoned. Will I vomit blood?"

"Will I have a fever?" "Or will I... be unable to stand up?"

"Still...still...no, Imperial Physician Akten only said it was mild, I shouldn't...no, I won't see you again...wu, wuwa..."

After a delay of two or three minutes, Wen Yuan's tears began to flow from her eyes like a dam breaking.

Although she was crying loudly, and although she was blowing her nose and wiping her tears in between, Wen Yuan's crying was still very beautiful.

What she didn't mention was "Your Majesty! You have to make the decision for me!"

She knew that if he didn't want to make the decision, it would be useless even if he yelled at the top of his lungs.

But she was sure that Yinzhen would not do that.

It's not because I dote on her, but because it involves myself.

"Be good, don't be afraid. I will definitely get to the bottom of this and won't let you be framed in vain." Yinzhen comforted Wen Yuan while patting her back gently.

After a while, Doctor Akundun came back.

Following behind him, Longsha carried a plate of pastries - crab roe pastries, which was once Hua Fei's favorite.

Looking at the pastry, Yinzhen's eyelids twitched.

"Your Majesty, there is no poison in this cake, but..."

but?

"However, there is a herb called Rehmannia root in it, which conflicts with the herb Astragalus root in the decoction that I prescribed for Concubine Qi.

The medicinal properties of Astragalus were offset by Rehmannia, and the medicinal properties of the other medicines were unbalanced. This accumulated over several days, which led to the sudden increase in palpitations and abdominal distension and fever in the head today."

Yinzhen frowned, and just as he was about to order Su Peisheng to investigate, he heard Akten, who was kneeling on the ground, say,

“Your Majesty, when I took your pulse just now, I found that there was something strange about it. Could you please let me…”

"What are you giving in to? Tell me now!"

He had never felt that Akten was long-winded and tedious like he did today.

"I just felt the pulse and it seemed that Shaoyin was moving very fast and smoothly, but suddenly there was something..."

"Speak up! If you don't get to the point, I'll drag you out and chop you into pieces!"

Akdun, who had been hesitant before, was suddenly shocked after hearing the threat.

He knocked his head to the ground and reported loudly to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi seems to be pregnant for the first time, and seems to be affected by something that promotes blood circulation, and is about to miscarry!

Judging from the Empress's pulse, her menstrual period is about to come. Even if she really suffered this disaster, she would not be able to detect it!

But your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, and thanks to the approaching menstruation, I was able to detect this pulse that was suspected to be a slippery pulse.

Otherwise, people would think that the queen has insufficient qi and blood, or poor gynecological health!

When I was taking your pulse just now, I also smelled a faint scent of musk in the Chuxiu Palace.

The harem is the queen's bedroom, and I dare not check it rashly.

But this matter may have a bearing on the succession to the throne, so please let Your Majesty make the decision!"

Yinzhen:? !!!!!!

Yinzhen has a big head now.

Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?!

However, this matter is full of coincidences, and it is just the pulse of a first-time pregnancy. No matter how powerful a national player is, he would not dare to make any rash statements. This is normal.

He hesitated for several minutes before speaking out, which was a rare stubbornness in the Imperial Hospital.

Seeing that the emperor remained silent for a long time, Akten continued,

"I beg the Emperor to ask the other imperial doctors to come to Chuxiu Palace so that we can feel the pulse together and then discuss the matter..."

"What are you waiting for? What are you discussing? Why don't you go in and check first!"

Wait a little longer, what if his Wen Yuan is really pregnant with the royal heir?

No healthy child has been born in his harem for a long time!

If it was a misdiagnosis, it would be fine. But if it was true, he would never allow any carelessness in it!

besides……

"Su Peisheng! Summon Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Wen to Chuxiu Palace immediately!

Also, have the palace maid who was in charge of making the crab roe cakes for Chuxiu Palace yesterday and the steward of the imperial kitchen come to see me with their heads held high!"

If Yinzhen's original anger was only directed at someone who wanted to control his life and deliberately take revenge on his favorite concubine, then his current overwhelming anger was directed at the wolfish ambitions of the person behind the scenes.

Musk, miscarriage, Yinzhen is all too familiar with them.

Back then, he plotted against Concubine Hua in this silent way, making her childless.

And now, the same method has appeared in the palace!

How could he not be shocked and angry!

who is it?

Queen Mother?

Or is it possible that it was Concubine Duan who knew about the incident back then?

Or maybe the Queen?

……

Unlike Yinzhen's shock and anger, Akundun, who was living a peaceful life, had already sent a young eunuch to invite the imperial physician and summon people. Su Peisheng, who was currently on supervisory duty, entered each room in the Chuxiu Palace and began a careful inspection.

Concubine Qi...is indeed a girl who showed her magical talent at the age of ten.

I thought that today I would just act sick, and then let him expose the dirty things in Chuxiu Palace. The two of us would cooperate with each other and sing the same tune to let the emperor see it, and then get some favor and benefits.

But he could never have imagined that Concubine Qi's so-called cooperation could be elevated to the highest level of "royal heir" in the palace.

She got pregnant as soon as she said it would happen. That's really awesome and she really dared to do it.

Moreover, he even calculated the impact of menstrual water on the pulse. He is truly a master of calculation.

In order to enter the palace and enjoy this huge fortune, Akundun had worked hard and even worked as a barefoot doctor in the slums of the capital for more than a year. He had seen all kinds of strange pulses.

The Empress's pulse condition is actually very common in some informal custom places.

He is very confident in his hard-earned experience.

It goes without saying that Doctor Xu, an old gynecologist who is over fifty years old, is very experienced. It goes without saying that Wen Shichu, a talented young man, will also make the same judgment, it is just a matter of whether they dare to say it.

Today, he thought his mission was to commit fraud like last time.

But he never expected that this time he only needed to be a royal physician who was conscientious, responsible, and daring to speak and act.

This job of being a benefactor is not too easy.

As he sighed, Akten raised his hand and used a handkerchief to transfer the vase by the window to the basket in Su Peisheng's hand.

"Eunuch Su, keep it. This bottle is very precious. It is full of good medicinal herbs."

Su Peisheng:......
