Once we understand the fundamental reason why Wei Shi betrayed His Royal Highness Prince Ning, everything will naturally have a solution.

On the afternoon of the second day after Princess Ning gave birth to her son, someone came to the palace.

The person who came was Eunuch Yao, the chief eunuch beside the emperor.

He brought a lot of rewards from the emperor, and his pair of slender eyes were curved, revealing shrewdness and sophistication.

"The Ning Wang's wife gave birth to the royal heir, which is a great contribution to the royal family. I have come to visit her on the order of Your Majesty." When he said this, the Ning Wang couldn't stop him from meeting her.

But this was not a surprise. When Eunuch Yao came in, Prince Ning was already prepared.

Therefore, a screen was put up in Princess Ning's room, and Eunuch Yao asked a few questions through the screen.

There was a faint smell of blood in the room. Eunuch Yao glanced at the little eunuch who was following him with his head lowered.

The latter understood and hurriedly moved the embroidered stool not far from the bed to her father-in-law. However, while moving the stool, she slightly raised her eyes and looked around.

Eunuch Yao sat down and talked with Mu Qianyin, all he said was praise for Princess Ning from His Majesty.

Knowing that the people in the palace had bad intentions, Mu Qianyin said that she was not energetic enough and died without saying a few words.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Yao realized that it was inappropriate for him to sit down any longer, so he said goodbye and left.

"Prince Ning is busy with his duties, so please stay here." Eunuch Yao said politely as he walked out of the second door.

But his eyes glanced around.

"Eunuch is the person that my father relies on the most. He is the one who has watched me grow up. It is only right for me to personally escort him out of the palace." Wu Tianxiao said with a smile.

Eunuch Yao was startled when he heard this, but he did not move.

"Are you waiting for someone, father-in-law?" Wu Tianxiao asked.

"I am just flattered." Eunuch Yao smiled awkwardly and left with the young eunuch.

The smile on Wu Tianxiao's face didn't fade until he got on the carriage and drove away.

He ordered the secret guards around him: "Please wait for the matter of Wei Changshi. Someone will take care of it for us."

"Yes."

……

In the carriage, Eunuch Yao lowered his voice and asked, "Did you see anything wrong just now?"

"Princess Ning has been moved out of the delivery room. It has been two days. There shouldn't be such a strong smell of blood in the room." The young eunuch reported.

"My family also feels something is wrong."

The young eunuch continued, "When I was moving the embroidered stool for you, I deliberately went to the end of the princess' bed. There seemed to be a purse hanging there. When I moved closer, I smelled the scent of red flowers."

"Really?" Eunuch Yao narrowed his eyes.

The young eunuch nodded. He was originally from a family of doctors. He had been sensitive to the smell of medicine since he was a child. After his family fell into poverty, he was sold to the palace to be a eunuch.

He was originally doing menial work in the palace, and by chance he was met by Eunuch Yao, who saw that he had some abilities and wanted him to be his side.

"I will not be mistaken. Although the ginseng in the purse suppressed the smell, the amount of safflower is not small. If Princess Ning is tired after giving birth, she will definitely have a hemorrhage within three days."

Eunuch Yao stood up upon hearing this.

He never thought that Wei Shi would be so cruel.

Today, he entered the palace on the order of His Majesty. First, he wanted to test the Ning Wangfei's true strength. After all, a few days ago, the fetus was in an abnormal position, causing the midwife to be afraid of the delivery and poisoned her. How could she give birth so smoothly? Second, he wanted to see what Wei Shi was up to.

Under torture in the palace, Nanny Wu explained everything in detail.

The person who provided the medicine to Nanny Wu was naturally caught and arrested.

Although the man was a rough servant, the emperor's secret guards were no pushovers and they eventually found out that he was Wei Shi's subordinate.

It seems that the midwife's sudden change was related to Wei Shi.

Eunuch Yao came to the mansion today to take the opportunity to warn Wei Shi, but although he is the Chief Secretary of Prince Ning, he has not shown up today.

I thought he changed his mind at the last minute and was unwilling to fight for Your Majesty.

But after listening to what the eunuch named Xiao Su said, Eunuch Yao felt more confused.

Wei Shi...did he take action anyway?

Then why did he bypass Your Majesty's original arrangement?

Thinking of this, Eunuch Yao looked at Xiao Su and said, "When we return to the palace, you will report everything that happened in Prince Ning's mansion to His Majesty word for word."

"Yes." After Eunuch Su agreed, he hesitated and said, "It's just that I can't figure it out."

"tell me the story."

"Safflower is a common medicine, and the imperial doctors and maids all know it. Placing safflower next to a woman in labor will easily be discovered... If someone removes it and does some conditioning, Princess Ning will be safe. Why did Wei Changshi resort to such means?"

"How can you guess the mind of a man who dares to disobey His Majesty's arrangements?" Eunuch Yao sneered, "Since you said this matter is very easy to be discovered, then we must make it happen before it is discovered!"
