Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

"I just feel that the Ninth Prince has been very strange recently. I really don't have the ability to... poison him. Please believe me, Father and Mother."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Seeing her frail appearance, it certainly doesn't look like she's been poisoned.

Everyone turned to look at the Crown Princess, but the Emperor thought for a moment and said to Li Haitang, "Li Haitang, you should go to the Imperial Hospital and find a few powerful doctors to check the pulse of the Ninth Prince. What if there is something wrong with his body or he is mentally disturbed?"

"Or maybe it's poisoned."

He also felt that Jiang Zhao's actions at this moment were a little bit wrong.

You know, Jiang Zhao used to be very protective of Chen Zhining.

But now, Jiang Zhao no longer protects Chen Zhining, but keeps protecting Zhao Qiuqiu. This is definitely not right.

Before the emperor finished speaking, he suddenly heard Jiang Zhao standing beside him jump up and angrily said to the emperor and the queen: "Father, mother, you don't have to do this. Don't distrust Qi Qi so much. How could she do such a thing?!"

"Crown Princess, I have always respected you as a person. After all, you are my sister-in-law, but now you have framed Qi Qi like this."

"You mean the poison that Qiqi gave us? I'm here to tell you, Qiqi would never do such a thing."

As he said this, he reacted very strongly and immediately walked out.

It seemed that he was not willing to let other doctors treat him.

The Crown Princess looked at him, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she smiled slightly.

She turned her head to look at the stunned emperor and queen, then looked at Zhao Qiuqiu who was crying beside her, and said to them with a smile: "What should we do now?"

"Father, the Emperor, Mother, Concubine Zhao."

The emperor and the empress remained silent. What else could they do now?

They looked at Zhao Qiuqiu next to them, frowned and said to her, "Now... there is no evidence, so we can't rush to convict Concubine Zhao."

"Otherwise, the Second Master and Concubine Zhao will also be sad."

The second prince heard what the emperor and empress said, nodded, and said to them: "That's right, father and mother, at this moment there is no evidence to prove that Zhao Qiuqiu did it. Maybe the ninth prince was blinded by lust, so he did this."

"Isn't it just that he has no pulse? How can we be sure that he is sick? And Lao Jiu now looks... like a normal person after all."

As he spoke, the Second Prince frowned and said to the Crown Princess: "Crown Princess, you can't say that even if you make it up!"

"There is no evidence of guilt right now. Let's talk about it after we feel his pulse."

Hearing this, the Crown Princess nodded, and said helplessly: "It is true that there is no evidence of guilt... But now, Lao Jiu is unwilling to cooperate with the pulse diagnosis, so let's forget about this matter for now."

"Old Second, Qiqi, both of you should go back."

Hearing this, the second prince and Zhao Qiuqiu both nodded.

After that, the second prince immediately frowned and said to the emperor and the queen: "Father, mother, we will leave for Yongzhou to take up our fiefdom soon."

"I think if I don't go to Yongzhou to be a vassal, I'm afraid this old man will compete with me for Qiqi."

"..."

Hearing this, the emperor and the queen's faces turned dark. They couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths as they looked at Chen Zhining beside them.

However, Chen Zhining next to him didn't say anything at this time. He just quietly drank the goat milk in his hand and ate the osmanthus cake in his hand.

Seeing Chen Zhining like this, the emperor and the empress felt a little pain in their hearts. They twitched their mouths and said to the second prince helplessly: "Well, when you go to the vassal state is up to you. Just discuss it among yourselves."

Hearing this, Zhao Qiuqiu next to him panicked.

She turned her head to look at the Second Prince, and heard him say anxiously: "I will take Qiqi back to Yongzhou tomorrow to be a vassal."

Having said that, he took Zhao Qiuqiu away.

Zhao Qiuqiu's back looked a little flustered.

The emperor, empress, and crown princess couldn't help but laugh. The crown princess looked at Zhao Qiuqiu's back and said to the emperor and empress, "Father, mother, don't worry so much. I will take the pulse of the ninth elder to see what's going on with Jiang Zhao's pulse."

The Emperor and Empress both said to the Crown Princess with some concern: "Jiang Zhao is indeed in a strange situation at this moment."

"......Well, maybe we should let the second brother go to the vassal state later."

"Let's leave Zhao Qiuqiu here first."

The Crown Princess shook her head and said with a smile, "These are matters between the Second Prince and Zhao Qiuqiu, so we shouldn't get involved. Let's just let them go to Yongzhou to be enfeoffed. We will make our own arrangements for this matter."

"Okay, okay."

Everyone nodded, then turned to look at Chen Zhining and said to him, "Zhining, how do you feel? Is everything alright?"

Chen Zhining shook his head and said weakly, "It's nothing."

"...As for Jiang Zhao, if he wants to go out, let him go. There's no need to check his pulse."

Chen Zhining shook his head again and said with some disappointment: "This Jiang Zhao is indeed poisoned."

Hearing this, the emperor and the queen were very surprised and said, "Ah, is it really true that he was poisoned?"

Chen Zhining nodded and said, "It was Zhao Qiuqiu who poisoned them, so at this moment they look... like a couple."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

No wonder Jiang Zhao’s previous behavior was a bit strange.

Afterwards, Chen Zhining said to them somewhat disappointedly: "It's just that I didn't expect that this poison would have such a big impact."

"After Jiang Zhao saw Zhao Qiuqiu, he no longer remembered me. I thought the relationship between us was quite deep."

"Hey, my wife, you are thinking about all these messy things because you are pregnant..."

The emperor and the empress hurriedly shook their heads and coaxed Chen Zhining, "Okay, okay, you can live in the harem from now on, and don't think about these messy things."

"If that Zhao Qiuqiu has any intention of alienating you and Lao Jiu, we will definitely not let her off."

"By the way, she poisoned Lao Jiu. What was her purpose?"

Chen Zhining and the Crown Princess said nothing.

The Crown Princess said to Chen Zhining, "Let's wait and see what happens next."

Chen Zhining sighed and lay down on the chair. He no longer wanted to talk or eat.

"..."

In the evening, in the Queen Mother's palace, Li Niang hurried in to pay her respects to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, it's bad. The Ninth Prince and his wife are quarreling! Now the Ninth Prince and his wife have separated, and the Ninth Prince's wife is in the Queen Mother's palace right now..."

"The Queen Mother said that you and the Ninth Prince's Consort have always had a very good relationship, so she wants to send the Ninth Prince's Consort to your palace. What do you think?"

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then she slowly began to ponder.

"The Ninth Prince and his wife had a quarrel?"

"Why would Jiang Zhao and Zhi Ning quarrel? They haven't quarreled for 800 years. Such a harmonious couple... is really rare."

As she spoke, the Queen Mother drank a sip of the ginseng soup, and then she heard Li Niang say, "To answer your question, the reason why the two of them quarreled was because of Zhao Qiuqiu... Concubine Zhao."

Li Niang quickly told the Queen Mother the whole story from beginning to end."

Also, the Emperor and the Empress sent word that Zhao Qiuqiu had poisoned Jiang Zhao."

"What? Zhao Qiuqiu poisoned Jiang Zhao?"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother's voice suddenly rose.

But there was not much surprise in her eyes, "Never mind... this is normal."

She shook her head and laughed, "It seems... my illegitimate brother's granddaughter is a troublemaker. She actually poisoned Jiang Zhao. No wonder Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining are now separated. The two couples broke up directly. The ninth brother's wife is now living in the Queen's palace..."

"No wonder."

"He's really a troublemaker."

The Queen Mother shook her head and frowned as she spoke: "So, where are Zhao Qiuqiu and the Second Prince now?"

"I heard that Zhao Qiuqiu and the Second Prince will go to Yongzhou to take up their fiefdom tomorrow."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother laughed, "Zhao Qiuqiu will definitely not be allowed to go to the vassal state. The Second Prince does want to go to the vassal state. After all, Zhao Qiuqiu caused all these things. If he doesn't take Zhao Qiuqiu to the vassal state, I'm afraid the Emperor and the Queen will definitely be unhappy, and the Ninth Prince will also cause some trouble."

"But now that things are like this, and Zhao Qiuqiu has poisoned Old Nine, if she doesn't want to go to the vassal state, Old Nine will definitely not let Old Two take Zhao Qiuqiu to the vassal state."

She shook her head, sighed, and said to Li Niang, "Send someone to send a letter to Zhi Ning later, asking her to stay calm and not worry so much."

"There is always a sense of regret in everything."

Li Niang bowed and said to the Queen Mother, "Yes."

Then, Li Niang asked the Queen Mother: "Speaking of which, Queen Mother, will Zhao Qiuqiu cause a big fuss in the future? What if Zhao Qiuqiu really damages the friendship between His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince and His Royal Highness's Consort?"

"The Ninth Prince's Consort and His Royal Highness are a loving couple and have been through thick and thin for many years. If their relationship breaks down... it would be such a pity."

"Would you like me to help take care of it?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Whether their relationship breaks down or not is something that only they can decide. It is not something that outsiders can easily influence."

"There is something fishy about this matter. Let's wait and see."

"???"

"!!!"

Hearing this, Li Niang was shocked.

She vaguely realized, what on earth did the Queen Mother mean by this?

In other words, Jiang Zhao was not necessarily poisoned, maybe he was just pretending.

Thinking of this, Li Niang suddenly woke up and said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "Then I understand."

"Remember, you must not tell anyone about what I said. Just keep it in your heart."

The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said to Li Niang, "I think Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining also have an idea of ​​what's going on."

"It's just that the two of them can't say it now."

"...Alright, alright, come over tomorrow and report the alarm to me. This is what's really going on, right?"

"Tomorrow, I don't think Zhao Qiuqiu will leave Kyoto and go to Yongzhou to be a vassal. Just wait and see."

"Yes."

Li Niang bows.

The next morning, the Queen and Chen Zhining came to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was stunned when she saw the Queen and Chen Zhining looking so bitter and resentful. Then she pretended nothing had happened and immediately handed a bowl of ginseng soup to Chen Zhining and the Queen, saying with a smile, "This ginseng soup is very beneficial to the body. Especially since you are still pregnant, Zhining, it would be good to drink more soup to nourish your body."

Chen Zhining nodded, and after taking a sip of the ginseng soup, she heard the queen sigh and said to the queen mother, "Mother, I feel so ashamed. I have failed to teach my son well. Please punish me."

The queen knelt on the ground immediately after saying that. Chen Zhining was about to kneel down with her when she saw the queen mother quickly put two cushions on the ground and said to them with a smile, "You don't have to worry for now."

"First you kneel on this cushion, and then you can talk while you kneel."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips. They didn't expect that the Queen Mother had made such complete preparations, even including the cushions.

Then I saw Chen Zhining and the Queen kneeling on the ground.

The Queen Mother then asked, "What happened? Which prince had the problem?"

The queen sighed and said to the queen mother, "The Second Prince and the Ninth Prince are fighting in the Second Prince's residence. Now, the Ninth Prince has beaten the Second Prince to the point where he is unrecognizable. He is resting in the residence... I guess he won't be able to leave for a while and can't go to Yongzhou."

"Why would you suddenly hit someone?"

The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this, and he quickly asked, "Is the Second Old Man okay? Is the Ninth Old Man okay too?"

"They are not seriously injured... Lao Jiu's attack was heavy, but he did not kill them."

"It's just that the second brother is now extremely angry, and his blood is attacking his heart. In addition, some of his old injuries have been triggered at once, so now he is lying in bed and can hardly move."
