From the beginning to the end, Lin Zhiyu paid attention to everyone's expressions.

When Lin Minghua said that the court uniform was different, her expression didn't look like she was scared, but more surprised. On the contrary, when the abbot bit her back, her overreaction was normal.

Therefore, Lin Zhiyu boldly guessed that Lin Minghua might not know where this dress came from. In her eyes, it was just a superfluous move by the palace people.

"If I remember correctly, Empress Zhaoyi's biological father once worked as a hunter for a period of time?" Lin Zhiyu turned to Jiang Tongmiao, eyes half-squinted with interest.

Hunter was considered a relatively lowly profession at the time. Before being transferred to the General's Mansion, Jiang Tongmiao and her parents lived in the mountains, which was not a very glorious past.

Jiang Tongmiao didn't look good when she heard Lin Zhiyu suddenly mention this.

"Why are you bringing up these old things for no reason?" Jiang Tongmiao rolled her eyes and was about to get angry when she suddenly realized something was wrong and her face suddenly turned pale.

In order to make money, most hunters will try to catch venomous snakes and sell them to the nobles and restaurants in the capital for high prices to make wine.

Lin Minghua was not the culprit of this matter, so Lin Zhiyu had no intention of breaking up with her. Xu Jiuer was still lying in bed with her life and death uncertain. If she missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to pursue the case again in the future.

"Empress Zhaoyi, I thought that I have been on good terms with you since I entered the palace, but now you are using this snake plant to harm me. Why is this?"

Lin Zhiyu looked at her leisurely.

Fortunately, he had investigated Jiang Tongmiao because of Jiang Wanning in his previous life, otherwise he would really have let her escape today.

Jiang Tongmiao only panicked for a moment. After thinking for a moment, she retorted: "There are too many people in this palace. Maybe some people have been snake catchers before. Just for this reason, you want to take the dirty water." Pour it on me?"

"Whether you have wronged Empress Zhaoyi or not, your Majesty can return to the palace and arrest the people from the Shangyi Bureau and question her."

After all, we were still in Chengen Temple, and there were many things that we couldn’t figure out for a while.

Plant the seeds of doubt first, and one day it will erupt with unpredictable consequences.

Although Lin Zhiyu was very diligent, he could not find any strong evidence to refute Jiang Tongmiao.

On the contrary, Lin Minghua on the side, as if eager to clear away the suspicion of being himself, said intentionally or unintentionally: "Why is the bracelet that sister Zhaoyi wore on her wrist every day missing?"

"I thought it didn't look good, so I put it back in the makeup box. Are you satisfied with this reason?" Jiang Tongmiao glared at Lin Minghua bitterly.

Being timid and fearful, and after taking advantage of myself, I want to push myself out to block the blame. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

When things developed to this point, Zhou Tingchen had almost figured it out.

Ever since Lin Minghua entered the palace, the Jiang sisters have been uneasy.

I thought it was just a small fight between women, but I didn't expect that every one of them used ingenuity just to force the other party into a desperate situation.

Has she...had this kind of thing happen to her before?

Zhou Tingchen's face darkened again.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Younan, who had been hiding quietly behind everyone, first coughed twice and attracted everyone's attention to him. Then, as if to cover up his embarrassment, he smiled apologetically and said:

"Jiang Zhaoyi is extremely talented, and that bracelet is not a strange thing. She probably took it off after she saw someone in the palace competing with her in style."

Zhou Tingchen's eyes narrowed: "Concubine Jia, have you ever seen anyone wearing this bracelet on their wrist?"

As if he didn't expect Zhou Tingchen to ask questions, Zhuang Younan trembled and said: "When Bao'er went to pick up clothes before, he seemed to have seen it, and he was extremely envious. He took the broken sesame seeds and rotten millet, and asked my concubine to reward him. One for her."

Even if the palace maid had great courage, she would not dare to compete with her master.

"We will discuss the matter of court uniforms after we return to the palace. As for the abbot of Chengen Temple, if evil spirits enter his body and he goes crazy, he should be killed with a stick."

Zhou Tingchen turned his eyes and looked at Jiang Tongmiao: "Jiang Zhaoyi listened to one side of the story, promoted evil things, and disturbed people's hearts. He will return to the palace immediately and be fined three months' salary."

Now anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhou Tingchen was just looking for an excuse to punish her.

Jiang Tongmiao is just Lin Minghua's scapegoat.

Sure enough, if you love someone, no matter what she does, it is right.

Lin Zhiyu remembered that she had been thrown into the cold palace before. Even though Zhou Tingchen knew that Lin Minghua had spoken harshly to her, and even... he still coldly said to himself, "It is your own fault." He put his arm around Lin Minghua's waist, turned around and left.

Although I no longer have any feelings for Zhou Tingchen, I still feel a sense of gap when I see something similar again.

"The emperor can punish me as much as I want, but I must not miss this blessing." When Jiang Tongmiao heard Zhou Tingchen's words, she couldn't suppress the panic in her eyes, and she was about to move forward as she spoke. Two steps, as if he was about to kneel down.

Before he could clean up the Buddhist beads on the ground, he didn't know whether it was intentional or not. Jiang Tongmiao seemed to be in a hurry to explain something to Zhou Tingchen, and didn't look at the ground at all. Sure enough, he happened to step on a round Buddha bead, and the entire People lean back!

"Empress!" Lan Xiang screamed and hurriedly came forward to help her. When she touched the hem of Jiang Tongmiao's skirt, she felt her hand was wet.

"Blood, there is blood under Empress Zhaoyi!"

In this situation, even a fool can figure out what happened.

Zhou Tingchen stood up with a "swish", picked up Jiang Tongmiao and strode towards the side room: "Where is the imperial doctor? Go and ask the imperial doctor to come over!"

Eunuch Zhang was puzzled: "There are only three imperial doctors accompanying us, and they are still in Xu Xiuyuan's room..."

"Go and call one over!" Zhou Tingchen shouted.

This is like the question of whether to protect the child or the child, but one is Xu Xiuyuan and the other is the child in Jiang Tongmiao's belly.

Zhou Tingchen obviously chose the latter.

"Your Majesty, it's okay. It'll be fine in a while." Jiang Tongmiaoxu said weakly, grabbing Zhou Tingchen's robe.

Damn, why does it hurt so much!

Jiang Tongmiao cursed secretly in her heart and couldn't help but regret her bold move just now.

Although this fall would happen sooner or later, she didn't want to use it in this place!

Lin Zhiyu looked unkind and followed him up.

As a foreigner, Zhou Zijin could not follow him, so he whispered to Lin Zhiyu: "I'll wait for you at the peach grove behind the temple. If you encounter any difficulties, just ask Qiaoxiu to come to me."

After the war and chaos, Jiang Tongmiao was lying on the bed, and Zhou Tingchen personally fed her the anti-fetal medicine.

The imperial doctor wiped his sweat and said tremblingly: "Empress Zhaoyi's pulse is fluent and smooth, like beads rolling on a jade plate. She must be more than two months pregnant."

Lan Xiang was overjoyed: "My slave said that your waist seems a little thick when you come today, but your Majesty didn't believe it and asked your slave to wrap it tightly with a cloth. Unexpectedly, she is pregnant!"

Even with all the reluctance in his heart, Lin Minghua still forced a smile and took the lead in saying congratulations.

"Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to Empress Zhaoyi!"

Everyone also congratulated him.

Lin Zhiyu glanced lightly. Everyone had different expressions and had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Xu Jiu'er was still lingering at the gate of hell, but here she first said auspicious words of congratulations, which was really ironic.

As soon as today's incident comes out, the delicate balance of the various forces in the palace may be broken.
