The one-year-old banquet for the two little guys was quite grand. In addition to the emperor, concubines, and heirs of the harem, there were also officials of the second rank and above in the imperial court and their families.

Ji Xingyan, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, rarely comes to Beijing as his uncle. He goes to the banquet with his younger brother Ji Xingwang, which makes people envious of Su Qingyao. Not only is his father Su Qingyao a minister in the court, but also the natal family of Hui Zhaoyuan, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. They are also her natal family.

Chengjue and Yunshu were very well-behaved throughout the banquet. At the beginning, Emperor Yinde held them and played with them for a while before he drank.

When the courtiers came over to toast, the two little guys were carried down and played with their mother and sister An An.

After having fun, they started chasing each other around Su Qingyao and Hui Zhaoyuan's table, causing everyone to admire how lively these two little guys were.

Maybe she got up early today and caught Zhou Zhou again in the morning. Yun Shu was a little tired, so she acted coquettishly in Su Qingyao's arms, "Concubine, Shu'er is sleepy, can you sleep?"

Su Qingyao glanced at her superior. Emperor Yin De was stroking his cup and watching the scene, "What's wrong with my Shu'er?"

Yun Shu straightened up, walked to the golden steps, waved her arms and rubbed her eyes, and yawned a little, "Father, Shu'er is sleepy~"

Seeing the little princess acting coquettishly towards His Majesty, who can not praise her cuteness from the bottom of her heart?

Emperor Yinde squinted his eyes and smiled, "If you feel sleepy, go and rest first. My father will go to Weiyang Palace to see you later, okay?"

"Okay~Waiting for Father~"

Now that the first-year banquet has been going on for more than half an hour, the children are indeed a little tired. Emperor Yinde said to Su Qingyao, "Yao'er, let Jue'er go down and have a rest too. You won't be tired after celebrating your birthday."

With so many people here, Su Qingyao naturally had to abide by the rules. She stood up and said to Emperor Yinde, "I will take care of the two children. Thank you for your love, Your Majesty."

Then he called to the wet nurse and took the children down.

Emperor Yinde raised his hand to signal Su Qingyao to take a seat, and then raised his glass to Su Qingyao, "I see that children like Jue'er and Shu'er are already so sensible at such a young age. It can be seen that you teach well, Yao'er, Please drink this cup with me again."

Everyone was surprised. Normally at palace banquets, only others would toast to Emperor Yinde, and His Majesty would not be the first to raise a glass and drink with others. This shows that the Concubine Xian is much loved and valued by His Majesty.

Su Qingyao raised her glass to Emperor Yin De, "I pay tribute to your majesty."

The two of them had just finished drinking the glass and put down their wine cups when they heard a woman's voice coming from the hall.

"What's going on?" Seeing Emperor Yin De frowning slightly, the queen sitting aside asked first.

"My concubine's stomach hurts!" Bai Cairen held the maid's arm tightly with one hand and covered his stomach with the other.

Beauty Qiao, who was sitting in front of her, stood up and asked with concern, regardless of the rules, "Ruoqing, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Cairen was in so much pain that he could hardly speak. Qiao Meiren could clearly see a pool of blood on her chair.

The emperor and empress naturally saw this scene.

"Li Fuhai, call the imperial physician." Emperor Yin De ordered as he quickly walked down the golden steps and came to Bai Cairen to care for her.

"Your Majesty, let's go to the side hall first." The queen followed closely, her tone full of anxiety.

Emperor Yinde directly picked up Bai Cairen and walked quickly to the side hall.

Because the accident occurred at the palace banquet, Emperor Yinde did not let anyone leave. After all, it concerned the emperor's heir and was not a trivial matter.

When there was a banquet in the palace, Wu Yuanping would always be waiting aside to avoid any orders from Emperor Yinde.

At this moment, Emperor Yinde had just carried Bai Cairen, who had fainted, to the side hall, and Li Fuhai hurried in with Judge Wu.

Judge Wu had no time to salute, so he was ordered by Emperor Yinde to diagnose Bai Cairen's pulse.

Judge Wu carefully put his hand on Bai Cairen's wrist. After just a moment, he understood.

Wu Yuanxuan was the oldest imperial physician in the palace. Seeing him trembling on the ground, Emperor Yinde couldn't understand anything.

He was losing another child.

"Li Fuhai, investigate for me, seal off the Jinse Palace, and find out the murderer behind the scenes!" Emperor Yin De roared.

Everyone in the main hall heard this, and their hearts trembled. To make His Majesty so angry, could it be that something happened to the emperor's heir in Bai Cairen's belly?

After a while, Li Fuhai came out of the side hall with several young eunuchs. Several imperial guards guarded the palace gate directly. Everyone knew that if there was no result in this matter, no one would be able to leave today.

Li Fuhai took the silver needle and checked all the meals that Bai Cairen had eaten today one by one. He checked them back and forth twice, but there was nothing wrong with them.

Upon hearing this result, Emperor Yinde was naturally furious and kicked a vase in the side hall to the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Wei Chen feels that although the accident happened at the palace banquet, it may not necessarily be because of the problem with the food. It may also be due to something personal to the young master."

Bai Cairen's personal maid also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is my mistress's dowry girl. She has served my mistress since she was a child. After my mistress became pregnant, I have taken care of her even more carefully. I have never made any mistakes."

"Whether there is something wrong or not, it needs to be confirmed by the imperial physician after examination, rather than just relying on your words." Emperor Yin De said and motioned for the imperial physician to come forward.

The first thing to check was Bai Cairen's jewelry.

Magistrate Wu did not dare to neglect. After some inspection, he finally found something fishy in the sachet that Bai Cairen wore every day. "Reporting to your majesty, this sachet contains fennel. Fennel has a refreshing effect, but People who are pregnant should never smell it. Smelling it too much will make the fetal movement in the human body uneasy and eventually lead to miscarriage."

Bai Cairen's maid said in disbelief, "How is this possible? This sachet was given to us by Master Qin, or was it made by Master Qin himself."

"I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I still have a little bit of confidence in this. Your Majesty, please give me a clear lesson." Judge Wu said.

Emperor Yinde closed his eyes weakly and told Li Fuhai, "Let the ministers go back first, as well as the princes and princesses."

Li Fuhai did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went out to give orders. When the ministers saw this, they knew that there was trouble in His Majesty's harem again, and they did not dare to stay here any longer.

Shangguan Xiaolin and Gu Wenkang helped to greet the ministers to leave. The children were also taken back, and the original calm returned to the palace.

A quarter of an hour later, Emperor Yinde slowly walked out of the side hall and threw the sachet directly on Qin Jieyu, "You are really brave!"

Qin Jieyu never thought that this matter would be related to her. She quickly knelt down and tears burst into her eyes, "Your Majesty, I am not a concubine, I really am not a concubine."
