The experience of going south made Shen Qingxu calm down quickly in this chaotic scene. She couldn't lose her composure. Now her sister had fallen, her brother-in-law and the prince's nephew were not here. She was the one in charge here. Both her sister and Xu Xingyi had said that no one could be fully trusted. She had to stand on her own!

This must be someone else's conspiracy to kill my sister and nephew.

Shen Qiuchi had been fine the whole time. He only became ill after having lunch today. There must be something wrong with the food!

Qingfang took people to carry out Shen Qingxu's orders.

Yilan went to invite Xiao Qi.

The imperial physician arrived soon, and so did the midwife.

The fetus in Shen Qiuchi's belly is only eight months old. As the old saying goes, if it's seven months old, it will live, and if it's eight months old, it won't. She is very afraid that her unborn nephew will die, but she is more afraid that her sister's life will be in danger.

Dozens of imperial doctors gathered around Shen Qiuchi's bed, taking his pulse one by one.

"Your Majesty, this is due to the food you took that invigorates the blood circulation."

"My sister and I dined together today. I have left the food here. I'd like to trouble the imperial physician to check it out."

After several imperial doctors checked the food, they had a discussion.

"Your Majesty, Princess, it's the saffron powder and musk in today's meal!"

"Just one of these is enough to cause a pregnant woman to have a miscarriage. Who on earth could be so cruel to mix the two together? He wants to kill the Empress!" said the head of the Imperial Hospital with great sorrow.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingxu clenched his fists. Who on earth could have used such a heavy hand?

"No, the Queen's fetus is in the wrong position! I'm afraid she will have a difficult delivery!" The midwife was horrified, her hands covered in blood.

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly for me. I want to find out who dares to use such dirty tricks in the palace."

"Quickly bring the ginseng slices!" The imperial doctors worked together and used silver needles to prick the acupuncture points.

Try to correct the fetal position.

As soon as Xiao Yanyun arrived at the door, he saw his father's face was dark and his eyes were red.

Soon, Shen Qiuchi's heart-wrenching cries and the anxious conversations of many imperial doctors were heard.

"Yanyun, wait here. I'll go into the inner room to check out the situation."

Xiao Qi gave a quick instruction and walked into the room.

At this time, Shen Qiuchi was already sweating profusely, and the midwife was guiding her breathing beside her.

"No, the fetal position is still not correct!" The midwife looked at the imperial doctors anxiously.

The longer the time drags on, the more dangerous Shen Qiuchi's life will be.

"The queen is in great danger this time!" The imperial doctors inserted the silver needles in their hands a little lower.

Shen Qingxu was watching anxiously from the side. Childbirth for women is already a life-threatening situation, and on top of that Shen Qiuchi was ambushed by someone and was not pregnant yet, it was even more dangerous!

When Xiao Qi came in, he saw Shen Qiuchi's pale face.

"What on earth is going on!" Xiao Qi suppressed his anger. How come he became like this after just a while?

"Sister's fetus is in an abnormal position. The imperial physician and the midwife are working to correct it."

"Your Majesty, my sister's food was spiked with saffron and musk."

"I have had all the people involved detained. Once my sister gives birth safely, we will interrogate them."

Hearing this, Xiao Qi clenched his fists and said, "You stay here to guard Qiu Chi. I will interrogate him now!"

Shen Qingxu nodded. The emperor's interrogation methods were definitely better than hers.

I believe the murderer will be found soon.

"Your Highness, the Queen is in critical condition now. Only one of the fetus and the Queen can be saved!"

"How could this be?"

"The fetus has not been properly positioned, and the Queen is now too weak. I'm afraid she doesn't have the strength to give birth to the child. If we want to have an heir, we have to cut open the Queen's belly and take the fetus out." The midwife shook her head.

"Can't I let my sister replenish her energy before continuing to give birth?" Shen Qingxu remembered that it was written in the storybooks of her previous life that childbirth takes a long time and that one can eat during the process.

"No, if the queen had given birth at full term, she could have rested and replenished her energy, but now the queen has been drugged and can't wait!"

"Do your best to protect my sister." Shen Qingxu gave the order with tears in her eyes.

She will make the murderer pay with blood today!
