At this time, Chu Junze also learned the news and hurried over.

After learning the whole story in detail, Chu Junze's originally handsome face was instantly covered by a layer of frost, so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out!

The horror on his expression was like a violent storm that was about to sweep over, making people shudder.

He clenched his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Eunuch Xi, quickly go and invite Doctor Shen to me! There must be no mistakes!"

His voice was extremely cold, and even carried an irresistible majesty and anger that made people feel fear.

Soon, Shen Zhuo was invited over by Eunuch Xi. "Doctor Shen, please check if this cup of tea is poisonous?"

When Shen Zhuo saw this situation, he knew that one of the concubines must have started to act up and was using some despicable means to harm Empress Fu Zhaoyi.

He is really courting death. Not to mention that Concubine Fu Zhaoyi is pregnant, just looking at Chu Junze's attitude towards her, we can know that this Concubine is the apple of the Emperor's eye, and anyone who touches her is seeking death.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhuo took out his silver needle and began to test for poison.

When the silver needle was inserted into the tea, it immediately turned black. When everyone present saw this result, they were instantly silent.

Shen Zhuo took back the silver needle, then smelled the scent on the silver needle and confirmed that the cup of tea was indeed poisonous!

Therefore, Shen Zhuo directly replied: "Your Majesty, this cup of tea is indeed poisonous, and it is a highly poisonous soul-destroying poison. If this poison sticks to the skin, you will die immediately!"

Shen Zhuo really didn't expect that Chu Junze's concubines would be so vicious and impatient.

"What?!" Chu Junze was furious and slammed the table. "How dare you poison the palace! Someone, investigate this matter thoroughly and find out who is behind it!"

The guards took the order and began to investigate in the palace.

Shen Zhuo shook his head secretly, thinking that the competition in the harem was becoming more and more intense.

He decided to stay in the palace for the time being to protect Concubine Fu Zhaoyi just in case.

At the same time, Su Qianqian sat there quietly and waited patiently for news.

She knew very well that there must be a huge conspiracy behind the poisoning, and she and her unborn child might become victims.

As time went on, the investigation yielded some clues.

However, just when the real culprit was about to be found, something unexpected happened. Qingzhu, the maid beside the queen, suddenly rushed to the center of the hall.

She shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. This is all my fault. I just hate her for getting pregnant with the heir first.

I felt sorry for my queen, because I always heard other servants laughing at my queen behind her back for not being able to have children, so I thought of poisoning Concubine Zhaoyi to death. "

Ning Wan'er looked at her determined expression and knew that she was not going to survive!

Just now, when the Emperor sent people to investigate, she received the news, and that news was enough to prove that it was the Empress who did it.

In order to protect the queen, she had no choice but to bear everything for the queen.

Just when Chu Junze was about to get angry, Qingzhu suddenly swallowed a pill and then vomited blood and died.

Ning Wan'er looked at her with red eyes. She understood that Qingzhu had died for her.

Seeing this, Chu Junze looked coldly at Ning Wan'er beside him. Some things don't need to be said, everyone knows it clearly in their hearts.

It is obvious that the mastermind behind this incident must be Queen Ning Wan'er, but it is difficult to punish her now.

Although Chu Junze was very angry, the matter ended there.

"The Queen's rule is not strict. You will be confined to house arrest for half a year and fined one year's salary!" Chu Junze stared at her coldly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." After expressing her gratitude, Ning Wan'er turned and left.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was fined and confined to her house, it was still much better than being deposed.

After returning to the bedroom, Ning Wan'er immediately summoned her trusted palace maid to ask about the follow-up of the matter.

"Then Qingzhu's family must be properly arranged and not reveal their true identity." Ning Wan'er warned.

After the palace maid took the order and left, Ning Wan'er leaned back on the couch, still feeling frightened when she thought about what happened today.

Although I managed to escape this time, I must be more careful in the future.

At the same time, Su Qianqian was also thinking about this court struggle.

She understood deeply that the deep, treacherous harem was filled with endless complexity and cruelty.

Just like this time, although I have successfully survived a thrilling crisis, who can guarantee that I will not encounter similar or even more dangerous situations in the future?

After all, human hearts are unpredictable, and court struggles are even more unpredictable.

Fortunately, Chu Junze decisively issued an order prohibiting the queen from moving freely and put her under house arrest.

In this way, she can feel relatively at ease for at least the next six months.

This period of time is crucial for her as she is pregnant. As long as she can spend these six months peacefully, it will be enough for the fetus in her belly to be born smoothly into this world.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but gently stroke her slightly bulging belly, feeling the joy and anticipation brought by the beating of the new life.

At the same time, she prayed silently in her heart that everything would go smoothly and that no more setbacks or hardships would befall her and her son.

When Chu Junze accompanied her back to Cuizhuxuan, a drizzle of autumn rain began to fall outside.

As the weather gradually gets colder, Su Qianqian actually doesn't want to go out anymore. If she could refuse the Queen's invitation today, she would just want to stay quietly in her own Cuizhu Pavilion.

Chu Junze must have been scared when he knew what happened tonight.

So when entering the bedroom, Chu Junze gently held her in his arms.

"I'm so sorry, Qianqian! Sigh... I know Ning Wan'er must have done this, but I can't vent your anger for you now. But judging by her usual temper, she will definitely not let it go.

However, please be sure to relax, I promise you that I will never give her any chance to act recklessly and stir up trouble in front of you again!

At the same time, I will make careful arrangements and send capable secret guards to guard you to ensure your safety.

I will never let you get hurt or disturbed again! Believe me, I will do my best to protect you and the children!"

"Well, I know everything, don't worry! Don't forget, I still have space, and because of the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, I have long been immune to all poisons, so they can't poison me!"

Su Qianqian smiled with confidence!

Chu Junze looked at her smile and finally felt a little better!
