Ah, you traveled through time too?

"Lian Di!" The emperor's voice shook the entire hall, with undisguised anger and shock. "Are you saying that Concubine Mei was also poisoned? Isn't this the responsibility of the imperial doctors? Or are you involved?"

Lian Di was in a state of confusion when facing the emperor's questioning, but she knew she couldn't back down now. She answered firmly, "Your Majesty, please believe me. I have done nothing wrong. Mei Fei's poisoning had nothing to do with me, and everything that happened to Mei Fei after she was poisoned was her own fault. Your Majesty, please find out the truth!"

When the emperor heard this, the flames of anger burned in his heart. He could not accept the facts before him. "Don't you know that if Concubine Mei was poisoned, it means that someone in the palace poisoned her? And you are someone close to her, can you guarantee that you did not poison her?"

Lian Di was speechless under the questioning of the emperor. She knew that she could not back down easily now, otherwise everything would be ruined. She shook her head firmly, her tone full of grief and dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, I assure you again that I have never done this! Please find out the truth and give me a fair conclusion!"

The emperor was silent for a moment, his eyes fixed on Lian Di, his heart full of contradictions and uneasiness. He knew that now was not the time to make a decision, he needed time to think calmly and find out the truth of the matter.

"You have a point." The emperor finally calmed down. He realized that now was not the time to make a decision. He needed more evidence and investigation. "I have decided to send Li Yunqing, the imperial physician, to investigate the matter personally. At the same time, you must do your best to provide all the help you can. This matter must not be taken lightly. We must find out the truth and give everyone an explanation."

When Lian Di heard the emperor's decision, she felt relieved. She knew this was an opportunity and also a test. She nodded solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, I will definitely cooperate with the imperial physician's investigation and make every effort to find out the truth and find a satisfactory answer for you."

"Okay, this matter is settled. Li Yunqing, you go and investigate this matter yourself. No matter what, you must find out the truth!" The emperor looked at the imperial physician with a firm gaze. He knew that this was a major test, but also an opportunity.

Li Yunqing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Li Yunqing will do his best and will never let you down. I will investigate as soon as possible and find out the truth of the matter."

In this storm, Lian Di and the imperial physician will face numerous tests, but they are determined to move forward with justice in their hearts.

Imperial Physician Li Yunqing hurried to the Queen Mother's bedroom, already having some doubts in his mind. He knew that the reward list had been destroyed, and the motive behind it puzzled him. He secretly vowed in his heart that he must find out the truth behind it.

"Imperial Physician, what do you want from me?" The Queen Mother's voice echoed in the palace, sounding peaceful and mysterious.

"Empress Dowager, may I ask why the most recent reward list was destroyed?" Li Yunqing asked directly, unwilling to beat around the bush.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, she knew the purpose of the imperial physician's visit. "I was not aware of this matter, the destruction of the reward list must have been done secretly by someone." Although her tone was calm, she could not hide her inner surprise and dissatisfaction.

Li Yunqing's heart moved. He sensed the Queen Mother's uneasiness. "Your Majesty, is there any clue worth noting?"

The Queen Mother thought for a moment, then said: "Doctor Li, this matter involves the secrets of the palace. I hope you can investigate it thoroughly. If you find anything, please tell me immediately." Although her tone was calm, the implication was that she asked the doctor to find out the truth as soon as possible without any doubt.

The doctor's heart moved. He understood what the queen mother meant. There might be some conspiracy behind this. He nodded solemnly and said that he would try his best to find out the truth.

The Queen Mother smiled and watched the doctor leave. She knew that all this had begun, and the final result would affect the fate of the entire royal family.

Imperial Physician Li Yunqing had a solemn expression on his face. After being summoned by the Queen Mother's bedroom, he quickly launched an investigation into the destruction of the reward list. After leaving the Queen Mother's bedroom, he went straight to the Queen's residence. This was also his first step in fulfilling the Queen Mother's recent instructions.

Imperial physician Li Yunqing pushed the door open and saw the queen sitting quietly in the room. She was concentrating on reading a Buddhist scripture with a peaceful expression.

"Doctor Li, what do you think?" the Queen asked softly, motioning Li Yunqing to sit down.

"Your Majesty, have you noticed anything unusual or out of the ordinary in the palace recently?" Li Yunqing asked directly, without beating around the bush.

The queen frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "There has been no special abnormal situation recently, and everything in the palace is normal. However, some maids seem to be in poor mental state recently and may need more care and attention." There was a hint of worry in her tone, and she was particularly attentive to everything in the palace.

"The maids are not in good spirits?" Li Yunqing's mind moved, he thought this might be a clue. "Your Majesty, can I meet some of the maids and learn about their situation? Maybe I can find some valuable clues from them."

The queen thought about it and nodded: "Well, go ahead. But you must be careful about your words and actions, and don't stimulate them too much, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Li Yunqing quickly stood up and saluted to express his gratitude. Then he said goodbye and left the Queen's bedroom. He already had a preliminary direction in his mind. He would do his best to find out the truth of the matter.
