The barking of the dog outside was indeed Feng Yuqi who had found Concubine Yu in her courtyard.

After Feng Yuqi entered the palace, he was heading straight to Concubine Shen's palace. But after entering the harem, the dog he was leading followed the scent and headed straight to Concubine Yu's yard.

Just three days ago, the imperial physician diagnosed Concubine Yu as being pregnant.

Because the Queen's funeral was not announced to the public, the Emperor had issued an order before leaving the palace: no one was allowed to disturb Concubine Yu's peace without permission. He also symbolically left two armored guards outside Concubine Yu's courtyard.

The Empress Dowager attached great importance to Concubine Yu's pregnancy because it was not easy for the Emperor to have a child in his old age. The moment she heard the news, she was so happy that she talked about sending an experienced personal nanny to serve Concubine Yu in the courtyard.

In the end, although Concubine Yu declined the offer on the grounds that she was suffering from severe morning sickness and needed quiet, the Empress Dowager still summoned the doctor who took Concubine Yu's pulse to question her for two consecutive days. She also sent people to deliver a lot of supplements to Concubine Yu's courtyard, and naturally paid special attention to Concubine Yu's courtyard.

Feng Yuqi stayed in the palace for several days and knew all the news.

So when the dog stopped at the small side door outside Concubine Yu's courtyard and barked incessantly, Feng Yuqi pulled the dog hard and did not force his way in.

He was staring at the gate with a frown, hesitating whether to go in, when the two armored guards guarding the main gate heard the sound and came over.

Seeing from afar that it was King Hao leading a barking dog, the two men went from being nervous and alert to being stunned. Then they looked at each other with a bad premonition. One of them turned to find the Queen Mother, and the other quickly ran over to ask King Hao if there was anything wrong.

Feng Yuqi did not answer but asked: "Is the Prince of De in there?"

The armored guard shook his head, "No." As if afraid that Feng Yuqi would not believe it, he immediately reminded her, "This is Concubine Yu's residence."

"Have you been guarding the main gate all the time?" Feng Yuqi asked again.

The Ironclad Guard nodded.

"Have you ever noticed this small door, or have you ever left it for some reason?"

The armored guard wanted to shake his head again.

Feng Yuqi reminded him with a dark face: "Think it over before you answer."

The armored guard paused with his head tilted, frowned and said, "When it was getting dark, the maid inside came out and said that her master had a stomachache and it was urgent, so she asked us to go and get the imperial physician."

"How long have you been gone? Is the doctor still in there?"

"We were fast and left in about a cup of tea. After the imperial physician came over, he said that Concubine Yu had fallen asleep, and the imperial physician did not come in..."

The armored guard was just recalling what was happening when Feng Yuqi suddenly kicked the door open. The armored guard was so frightened that he moved sideways and blocked the door.

"Are you sure you want to stop me?" Feng Yuqi asked the armored guard with sharp eyes.

"I dare not, it is just my duty..."

Feng Yuqi interrupted directly, "I now suspect that you two have been lured away from the mountain, and that someone who shouldn't be in has been sent in. If you let them go now, I will take the responsibility if something goes wrong. Otherwise, if I force my way in, I will hold you accountable afterwards."

After hearing what he said, the armored guard hesitated while Feng Yuqi's men had already entered.

If you see anyone who dares to stop you, kick them away.

After kicking over dozens of servants in Yu Guipin's courtyard, Feng Yuqi followed the dog's guidance and quickly broke into Yu Guipin's inner room, locking his target on the wall inside the bed.

The dog was barking frantically at the wall, Feng Yuqi was touching the wall with a frown on his face, when suddenly there came two consecutive sounds of something hitting the ground from the other side of the wall.

He leaned over and was about to put his ear to the wall to listen carefully when a maid behind him shouted, "My queen, why are you bleeding? Someone come quickly, call the imperial physician... Prince Hao, Prince Hao, save my queen..."

Feng Yuqi suddenly turned around.

Concubine Yu, who had been lying on the bed, glaring at her and calling him rude and shameless, had somehow ended up sitting on the ground with a pool of blood under her.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, he felt more and more that there was a ghost behind the wall. Feng Yuqi ignored the people, turned around and quickly raised his hand to knock on the wall.

Three consecutive sounds are all solid.

He walked a few steps to the side, wanting to knock at another place, but the Queen Mother exclaimed from behind him: "What's going on? King Hao? Why are you here?"

"Queen Mother...Queen Mother, please make the decision for my queen!"

Concubine Yu's personal maid crawled on her knees to the Queen Mother, howling and complaining rapidly, "Prince Hao broke into my Queen's bedroom and my Queen was frightened..."

"Call the imperial physician," interrupted the queen mother. She pointed at the barking dog and waved her hand to the eunuch behind her, ordering, "Take the dog away."

The eunuch followed the order and went to get the dog. Feng Yuqi was concentrating on knocking bricks and heard the sound, so he didn't pay attention.

The empress dowager stared at Concubine Yu who was groaning in pain on the ground and the blood under her for a moment. Regret burned in her heart, and the anxious look on her face gradually faded.

Looking at that pool of blood, the child can't be saved.

I originally thought that even if Feng Yuqi was unreliable, I still had the child in Concubine Yu's belly as a last resort. But now there is no longer any way out.

Her Yi'er was destined to have those three ugly sons.

You can't count on any one.

Feng Shenyi? He was deliberately spoiled by the emperor. Knowing that the emperor would never pass the throne to Feng Shenyi, the empress dowager never thought of marrying Pei Qianluo to Feng Shenyi from the beginning to the end.

Feng Deze? His mother, Concubine Shen, was too shrewd, and behind her was the Shen family, a maternal clan that was equally powerful as her Pei family. Once she had power, it would be difficult to control, and she might even abolish the throne of the Pei family woman.

Feng Zihao? He didn't succeed in his plan, but luckily he ran away, leaving Feng Yuqi alone. I thought he was easy to control, but he was born to be a rebel...

To be honest, no one of them could catch the Queen Mother's eye...

Bitterness and resentment welled up in her, and seeing the maid who had complained to her calling her out loudly like a mourner, the empress dowager was so angry that her eyes widened and a glare from her frightened the maid so much that she quickly shut up and prostrated herself on the ground, not daring to speak again.

The Queen Mother walked past the maid and went straight to the inside without even glancing over here, moving the jade bricks back and forth against the wall.

Stopping behind Fengyuji and seeing him knocking on the wall, the Queen Mother asked in confusion, "What is King Hao doing?"

"Feng Dezhe has captured Su Yunxuan and Pei Qianluo. I suspect someone is hiding in here." Feng Yuqi kept moving.

"What? Qianluo was captured by Feng Dezhe?" The Queen Mother was surprised and hurried to observe the wall.

Concubine Yu, who was standing behind them, saw the harmonious relationship between the Queen Mother and Prince Hao, gritted her teeth and pinched the inside of her thigh, then raised her voice and wailed, "It hurts, it hurts so much, Queen Mother, please save my child, save the Emperor's flesh and blood."

The Queen Mother turned around, walked quickly to Concubine Yu, looked down at her and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, did Feng De Ze really hide Qian Luo in there?"

Concubine Yu: “…” Her eyes widened in anger at the Queen Mother’s attitude.

When she met the shrewd eyes of the Queen Mother, she was frightened and shook her head wildly, cursing in her heart: You old fool, shouldn't you be concerned about the dragon seed in her belly now... Could it be that you guessed that the child in her belly is not the emperor's...

Not daring to think further, Concubine Yu raised her head and shouted in a guilty conscience: "What Prince De? How could Prince De be in my courtyard? Queen Mother, you can't believe it..."

Hearing her shout, Concubine Shen, who had been standing outside the door for a while, felt her heart tighten and hurriedly stepped in to interrupt her, calling out, "Empress Dowager!"
