Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

Queyue thought for a moment and said, "This may be difficult. It is said that the items are all kept in the private warehouse, and the Imperial Hospital has already checked them. I heard that four or five imperial doctors took turns to check them. There is absolutely no possibility of favoritism or corruption."

It turned out to be the case.

But Shen Mengyao just wanted to see it with her own eyes, and since she felt it was difficult, she didn't force it.

Queyue suddenly thought of what the prince had told her and gritted her teeth.

"Princess, I'll think of a solution."

"Thank you." Shen Mengyao said sincerely.

"This is all part of my job. There's no need to thank me, Princess." Queyue simply smiled. When she turned around and was about to leave, she suddenly saw that her fingers tucked into her sleeves were blue and red.

"Princess, do you have frostbite?" Queyue exclaimed.

Shen Mengyao looked down, smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe he is too pampered on weekdays, and he can't stand the slightest movement. If he is really punished to do hard labor, it will be fatal."

Queyue was inevitably moved by her optimism and made up her mind.

"Don't worry, Princess. We will find out the truth soon and clear your name."

"Now only you and Aunt Fuqing trust me." Shen Mengyao lowered her head and smiled bitterly.

Queyue bit her lip, said nothing, and quickly left.

After asking Fu Qing for help, I finally got the private vault token. All of the empress dowager's things would be kept here, and there would be people checking everything in and out, so nothing could come in or go out.

"Miss Queyue, do you want to go in and check it yourself?" Fu Qing asked.

"Aunt, I have never served the Queen Mother, so I wouldn't know if something went wrong. So I would like to ask the princess to come and take a look in person. Can you help me and let me take over for the princess for a few hours?" Queyue said earnestly.

"This... this is a bit difficult." Fu Qing also knew that what she said made sense. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Let's do as you say."

"Thank you, aunt!" Queyue bowed, expressing her gratitude.

Late at night, Fuqing returned to the inner prison wearing the same clothes as Queyue.

Hearing the footsteps, Shen Mengyao immediately turned over and saw Fuqing and Queyue standing outside. The two of them hurriedly opened the cell door, and Queyue came in and helped her up.

"Princess, please change your clothes and go out."

"You...you want to do it for me? No." Shen Mengyao refused.

"Aunt Fuqing has got the token. You have served the Queen Mother for so long and you know her best. You will feel relieved if you see it yourself, right? It will only take a few hours."

Queyue anxiously took off her prison uniform and put it on herself. Fuqing hurried in and handed her a new set of clothes.

"Princess, please change quickly."

Shen Mengyao felt much more relieved. She changed her clothes, lowered her head and went out with Fuqing.

Fortunately, the people who had been bribed did not check them carefully and let them pass.

As Fu Qing walked, he said, "The Queen Mother's things have actually been checked three or four times by the imperial doctors. I don't know if you might have made a mistake in thinking about this."

"I have to check it myself." Shen Mengyao smiled bitterly.

Fu Qing didn't care and took her directly to the warehouse. After they were checked, they were allowed to go in.

There were a dazzling array of things inside, all of which were used by the Queen Mother. She liked to use sandalwood, and there were also several spice jars.

If this thing is placed among the spices and people smell it every day, wouldn't it be possible that it could be poisonous?

Fu Qing seemed to see through her thoughts and reminded her, "Princess, if the sandalwood was drugged, wouldn't we also be poisoned? But we servants are still healthy."

"What about the calming incense?" Shen Mengyao suddenly thought: "It seems that the Queen Mother has not been able to sleep well since she fell ill."

Fu Qing nodded in understanding, "Yes, the calming incense is usually lit at night, and the palace maids on duty every night are different. They spread a quilt outside the bedroom, take a rest, and wait for the Queen Mother's instructions."

She immediately opened the spice jar.

Most of the jar of spiced bait grains lay quietly inside. She casually pulled out the hairpin on Fuqing's head, stirred it with her hand, and found nothing foreign.

"Nothing unusual."

Fu Qing muttered, "Why are there so many spices? I remember the last time I went to Shang Pharmacy to get some was before winter."

"You mean, someone might have been replaced?" Shen Mengyao looked down.

"I don't know. The missing amount is only enough for the Queen Mother to use for five or six days. It's been more than a month since the last time we received spices. This jar should be almost empty." Fu Qing was puzzled.

That means someone mixed something bad in it, and five or six days ago, they replaced the old one with the new one to avoid anything wrong being discovered during the search.

She expressed her guess and mentioned in passing: "Five or six days ago, it seems to be the day when *** came."

Fu Qing's face turned pale. "Why would a bastard want to murder the Queen Mother? She is her own grandmother."

Shen Mengyao's mind was also in a mess.

Moreover, the Queen Mother's health has been getting worse since those two days, and she even fell into a coma the day before yesterday.

She didn't say anything, so she decided to check other things carefully: "Have you checked this quilt?"

"I checked. The embroiderer carefully picked up the thread. After the imperial physician finished checking, the embroiderer sewed it back together." Fu Qing replied.

Shen Mengyao nodded and looked over every item, and indeed found nothing unusual.

As she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of a question: "After *** came a few days ago, he never came back, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Fu Qing was puzzled.

Shen Mengyao then remembered that thing: "What about the album of wedding dress patterns that she left for the Queen Mother?"

Fu Qing thought for a moment and shook his head.

"I don't think I saw it on the day the palace was searched, but it was just a picture album. Could it be that something went wrong?"

Shen Mengyao didn't know either.

"It's really suspicious that this thing is lost. Auntie, now that the palace gates are closed, this thing must not be able to leak out. You must help find it."

Fuqing thought so too.

The Queen Mother was unable to persuade the Emperor to change his engagement and she also attached great importance to the marriage, so she had been looking at picture albums and choosing patterns in the past few days. She also asked her whether she should ask painters to draw a few more pictures to have more choices.

But this thing has disappeared since the Queen Mother fell into a coma, which is indeed extremely suspicious.

While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door.

"You two, it's getting late, let's leave quickly."

Fu Qing came back to his senses: "Then Princess, I will take you back to the cell first and change Miss Queyue out. Miss Queyue and I will do our best to investigate this matter."
