As soon as she entered the room, Huang Zhi knelt on the ground and said, "Princess, that woman is Miss Deyin, the legitimate daughter of the Taifu Mansion."

Geng Yuehua knew that Defei had summoned Deyin to the palace to accompany her some time ago, and at that time, there was a rumor in the palace that it was only a matter of time before Deyin married into the Prince's Mansion. Unexpectedly, when she saw her today, she took the initiative to come to the Prince's Mansion. After all, she was the legitimate daughter of the powerful Taifu Mansion, and even her way of doing things could be so different.

Unexpectedly, Li Shuran came and Deyin came. It would be even more difficult to win back the Fourth Master's heart, but she couldn't change it and could only sulk alone.

"Just now, the Tenth Princess saw me." Geng felt even worse when she heard this. It would not be a good thing if she was targeted by the Tenth Princess.

"She's not in there? Are they the only two left in the room?" It's hard to tell what these two single men and women will do in the same room.

Geng Yuehua asked Ling Wei if she had anything to say.

"The princess told you to behave yourself and not to provoke people you shouldn't provoke." Geng's face turned even worse when she heard this. She quickly asked the servants to leave. She felt annoyed just looking at them.

"You mean there has always been something wrong with mother's prescription?" Yinzhen also felt that there was something fishy going on. Every time mother took the medicine on time, the condition did not improve. It turned out that there was something wrong with the source.

But there are so many people in this palace, and it is not easy to find out the truth.

Yinzhen asked Deyin to pay more attention to the people around Defei and leave everything else to him.

It was getting late, and Concubine De was still waiting to take medicine, but she couldn't delay any longer. Yinzhen didn't want Deyin to leave so early, but her mother's illness really required her to go back, so he had to prepare a carriage for her immediately.

"Your Majesty, please sit down and have a rest." After sleeping for the whole morning, Concubine De stood up and was soon blown by Aruo to sit down again.

As soon as Deyin returned to the palace, she hurried to boil medicine for Concubine De. Concubine De had a severe headache today and needed to drink medicine every four hours. Deyin did it herself all day long and did not let anyone else touch the medicine.

After a night of hard work, Concubine De felt distressed when she saw the dark circles under Deyin's eyes. Seeing Deyin fall asleep on the bed, she seemed exhausted. Concubine De gently put the quilt on her body and wanted her to have a good rest.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is here." Concubine De pointed inside and asked Aruo to speak in a low voice.

As soon as Yinzhen entered the room, he looked around for Deyin. When Concubine De saw him like this, she pointed inside and said, "She is asleep. Let's not disturb her."

Defei told Yinzhen what happened last night. It seemed that the girl was really exhausted, and the dark circles around her eyes were very obvious. Yinzhen looked at Deyin's sleeping posture and was about to carry her to bed, but was stopped by Defei.

"This girl is a light sleeper. You will definitely wake her up if you move."

Yinzhen quickly withdrew his hand that was about to touch Deyin, and went for a walk in the yard with Defei.

"Mother, I already know about the prescription. I wonder if you have any suspicions." Concubine De didn't say it out loud. There were many people in the palace who wanted to harm her. Some wanted to do it because of her, and some were jealous that she had two favored sons and blocked the way for other princes.

The maid who had been decocting medicine for Concubine De suddenly disappeared last night. No one knew where the maid had gone and no one could find her. No one knew where the news had leaked out and the person behind the scenes had noticed it.

As soon as Deyin woke up, she noticed dark circles under her eyes. She had never had such dark circles even when she was on night shift before. How come her skin was much more delicate after going back to the past? However, she didn't care about her face and was busy decocting medicine for Concubine De. Fortunately, there were no outsiders in the palace and she didn't need to pay attention to her image.

"Ah", she almost bumped into Yinzhen's arms when she opened the door. Deyin quickly covered her face so that she didn't want her to see. Even she was shocked just now. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have gotten up. She still wanted to leave a good impression in Yinzhen's eyes.

Yinzhen couldn't help laughing when he saw Deyin covering her face. The sound was quite loud and Deyin heard it clearly.

"What are you laughing at?" Deyin wanted to run out immediately, but the door was blocked by Yinzhen.

Yinzhen wanted to take her hand away: "It's not like you haven't seen it before, why are you covering it? I was the one who covered you with the quilt when you fell asleep just now. But I think it's quite cute this way." Yinzhen wanted to say "like a panda", but he was afraid that the girl would be angry with him.

When Deyin heard this, she no longer wanted to cover it up. She would have to face it sooner or later anyway, and he didn't even mind, so what was there to be afraid of?

"Yinyin, I like everything about you. I like you no matter what you are like." Deyin was stunned by this sudden confession and nodded, then went to the small kitchen to boil medicine for Concubine De.

Yinzhen had never stepped into the kitchen before. If Deyin had not been there today, he really didn't want to enter this place. The smoke from the firewood burned by Deyin filled the whole room, choking people and making them cough. Deyin urged him to get out quickly, but Yinzhen snatched the fan from her hand and boiled medicine for Concubine De himself.

"Your Majesty, please try today's medicine and see if it's any different." Upon hearing this, Concubine De took the medicine and tasted it slowly.

"It's even more bitter today." De Fei pursed her lips and put down the bowl. Today, some bitter medicines were indeed added. De Yin didn't want to drink it anymore when she saw De Fei's expression. But that wouldn't work. Today's medicine was the main effect.

"Of course, this medicine today is filled with love. It was brewed by the Fourth Prince himself for the Empress."

When Concubine De heard this, she picked up the bowl of medicine on the table and drank it in one gulp. This was the first time Yinzhen had done this for her mother in all these years. Concubine De was so happy that she drank all the medicine.

Li Liang has been working in the palace these days. Yesterday, De Yin went to find him and asked him to help find the missing palace maid. Li Liang sent a large number of people to search every corner of the palace, and finally found her in a dry well. When they found her, she was already stiff. One look at the posture of throwing her into the well showed that someone had deliberately pushed her in, but there is no clue yet.

When Deyin heard about this, she recalled the palace fighting dramas she had watched before. It seemed that it was done by the concubines in the harem. However, there were many people who were not on good terms with Concubine De, so it would be difficult to investigate.

"Someone, catch him for me." Li Liang indeed found someone around the dry well today. His suspicious behavior in the middle of the night might be a breakthrough in the case.

As soon as he was pressed to the ground, the man began to beg for mercy, saying that the matter had nothing to do with him.

After the first trial, Li Liang found out that this man once worked for Concubine Hui and was an old lover of the palace maid. Later, the two were assigned to other palaces, and the palace maid was assigned to Yonghe Palace.

The man heard that a palace maid had died in the well and he had not seen her at the agreed place for a few days, so he had bad thoughts and wanted to take a look at night. As soon as he arrived, he was caught by Yinzhen.

Now all the blame was directed at the eldest prince's biological mother, Concubine Hui. Li Liang took the man back and locked him up to prevent him from talking nonsense in the palace and causing trouble.

Li Liang sent people to check if there were any other relatives of Concubine Hui in the palace.

Upon checking, they were shocked to find that Doctor Li in the Imperial Hospital was actually Huifei's distant cousin. This made all the connections. Huifei colluded with her former maid and Doctor Li to replace Concubine De's medicine. It was not difficult for Doctor Li to replace the prescription recorded in the Imperial Hospital. Everything made sense.

Deyin thought about the day she went to the Imperial Hospital. In addition to Doctor Wang who was looking for a prescription for her, there was indeed another person next to her. That person must be Concubine Hui's cousin. When she saw that the matter was about to be exposed, she killed the maid who was decocting the medicine. These two people were really brave and thought that what they did could be concealed.

"Is everything done?" Concubine Hui summoned Imperial Physician Li because she was not feeling well today.

"To reply to your Majesty, the dead cannot speak. Everything is settled." Seeing Concubine Hui's face gradually relax, Doctor Li withdrew.

But they didn't expect that even though they had done so carefully, they would still be exposed.

Deyin told all this to Concubine De, but the expression on Concubine De's face was as calm as usual. She didn't expect that Concubine Hui would fight with her as soon as she entered the palace, and she didn't expect that after so many years, she would actually want her life. With all these things piling up one by one, Concubine De could not let him do whatever he wanted.

Although the eldest prince is the eldest son, he still cannot be the crown prince. However, the emperor's attitude towards the prince has been getting worse and worse recently. Rumors of abolishing the prince have spread in the court. The concubines in the harem all want to take the throne for their sons. The thorn in the harem is Concubine De. Not only are her two sons loved by the emperor, but even her adopted son, the 13th prince, is also valued by the emperor. He always takes him with him when he goes on tours.

This made Concubine De make a lot of enemies, but she didn't expect that Concubine Hui would choose the stupidest way.
