When I opened my eyes, Zhen Huan knelt in front of me and had a miscarriage

Yixiu knelt down instantly, her face full of grievance, and looked at Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, I know nothing about this! Who knows who might be trying to slander me."

What a complete clueless person.

Yinzhen held his breath, looked at Yixiu, and took a deep breath slowly.

"This matter concerns the life and death of Concubine Jia. We must investigate it thoroughly. All the eunuchs and palace maids who have been involved in the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be investigated." Yinzhen spoke angrily. It was obvious that he was angry, but reason made him clear-headed.

This matter must not be made a big deal.

If it was really done by the Queen, there would be chaos.

What's more, this matter concerns the Sixth Prince, and the Queen also has the Third Prince.

Yixiu then spoke up, "Your Majesty, this is very strange. When Concubine Jia died during childbirth, all the imperial doctors were present. If it was because of Guanyin, why didn't anyone say anything at the time? Why was it only discovered now? Your Majesty, don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?"

After all, she was an expert at playing palace tricks. She quickly discovered the omission and wanted to characterize the matter as slander.

Involve Nian Shilan.

How could Nian Shilan let her get her wish?

"Your Highness is right. I also found many things strange when Concubine Jia died. But this thing has been in Concubine Jia's palace for more than one day, but for half a year. The eunuchs and maids all know about it. And Concubine Jia has been feeling uncomfortable during her pregnancy for the past six months. I and the imperial physician thought it was because of Concubine Jia's poor health. But now I think about it, it's terrifying."

These words made Yinzhen's face even darker.

After saying that, Nian Shilan glanced at Fu Dong who was standing at the door.

Fu Dong received the empress's gaze, understood what she meant, and quietly retreated from the hall.

Yixiu bit her lip and continued, "Your Majesty, this was definitely not done by me. If I did this, whenever Concubine Jia asked the imperial physician for help, it would be discovered. Moreover, if it was really done by me, after Concubine Jia died, someone would definitely be sent to take the item away. But I didn't do that, which shows that I have a clear conscience."

After hearing these words, the heaviness on Yinzhen's face eased a little.

It was visible to the naked eye that the balance in his heart had begun to waver.

"I know you feel wronged, but now that things have come to this, I have to give an explanation to the late Jiapin and the Sixth Prince. To avoid suspicion, the Queen, you should go out less."

Although he was also angry and resented the queen, his reason told him that he could not do it.

So I just planned to stay at home.

It was obvious that the emperor wanted to put the queen under house arrest.

But this was not the ending that Nian Shilan wanted.

But now, looking up and seeing Yinzhen's expression, she knew.

If she continued talking, the Emperor would definitely be unhappy, and might even think that she was setting a trap for the Queen.

It would give the Queen an opportunity to take advantage of.

It doesn't matter. Her strategies have always been flexible. She wants to let the enemy catch their breath and think they have a chance to survive. Only when they relax can she strike a fatal blow!

She didn't say anything else, her face still showing disbelief towards the Queen and regret for Concubine Jia.

"Yes, I obey your command."

The emperor had already issued the order for the queen to be confined to her house, and the queen bowed and slowly left.

After the queen left, Nian Shilan waved her hand and instructed the imperial physician, "Quickly pack these things and send them to the Ministry of Punishment. Order someone to investigate this matter immediately!"

The two imperial doctors nodded immediately.

Doctor Li continued, "Yes, what the Imperial Concubine said is absolutely right, especially the cinnabar in it. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been taking elixirs in order to prolong his life, but cinnabar is incompatible with elixirs and cannot enter the body of the emperor. I will take it now."

Yinzhen was not in the mood and was still worried about the Queen's affairs.

He just nodded and waved his hand to signal to clean up.

These words reminded Nian Shilan that the imperial physician was right.

In the previous life, that horse trainer used cinnabar and An Lingrong's aphrodisiac to make the emperor's body weak, and finally he vomited blood and died.

She almost forgot.

He was so focused on how to defeat the queen that he forgot to do his real work.

She collected her thoughts and decided to get rid of the queen first.

Nian Shilan sniffed and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a silk cloth.

Pretending to have listened to the Queen's explanation, she began to speak for the Queen, "Your Majesty, what the Queen just said is quite touching. After all, the Queen is the head of a palace, how could she do such a vicious thing? Moreover, I remember that the Queen once gave me a necklace, which I loved very much and wore every day without taking it off."

"As the Empress, she has to do many things that she cannot do. Your Majesty should forgive her for the sake of the Empress Dowager."

Yinzhen was surprised that Nian Shilan could speak for Yixiu.

He raised his head with some relief in his eyes. He took Nian Shilan's hand and held her in his arms.

"You are more sensible after all, unlike others who always make things difficult for me."

Nian Shilan shook her head. "I don't want to embarrass His Majesty, and I don't want His Majesty's children to suffer like this. There are few heirs in the palace, and I am even more aware of the horror of what happened today. I hope Your Majesty will find a good mother for Hongzhang who can protect him and let him grow up safely."

"Of course, but in this palace, who else but you can take good care of my Hong Zhang?" Yinzhen narrowed his eyes, with unclear emotions in his eyes.

"I am incompetent and I am afraid that I cannot raise Hong Zhang, but I am very interested in Concubine Jing. She is calm, careful and reserved, and seems to be a good candidate."

Nian Shilan shook her head and expressed what was in her mind.

Hearing her say this, the emotion in Yinzhen's eyes disappeared.

Obviously, he was relieved that Nian Shilan expressed her unwillingness to raise Hongzhang.

At this time, the wet nurse came carrying Hongzhang.

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince is very energetic after drinking milk, and he doesn't seem to want to sleep. Follow your instructions and bring him here for you and the Emperor to see."

Nian Shilan nodded, took Hongzhang, and held him in her arms to coax him.

I told the Emperor, "Your Majesty, you don't know that taking care of a child is a tiring job. After what happened today, I am always worried, fearing that something insignificant might harm the child."

Yinzhen nodded, "In that case, let Doctor Li stay and check everything in the palace one by one."

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

It was clearly Nian Shilan who led Yinzhen to say this, but she smiled and said words of thanks.

This was very useful to Yinzhen.

Doctor Li was called back, and Nian Shilan asked him to look around the hall.

But to no avail, Doctor Li shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual. There is nothing that can harm the Sixth Prince's body."

Nian Shilan patted her chest with her hands and let out a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

Yinzhen's eyes fell on her chest, and next to her hand was a necklace.

He suddenly remembered what she had just said.

He asked, "Is this the necklace the queen gave you?"

"Your Majesty is right. This is exactly what he said." Nian Shilan introduced with a smile, and suddenly asked, "Is your Majesty afraid that there might be something in here?"

Yinzhen didn't say anything, obviously he didn't think so.

But Nian Shilan spoke up on her own, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. This was given to me by the Empress herself, and she also took it to Baohua Palace to chant sutras and pray for blessings and exorcise evil spirits. But since Your Majesty is so worried, please trouble Imperial Doctor Li to take a look at it together."

After saying this, she took off her necklace and handed it to Doctor Li.
