The Apo Master dressed up as Concubine Ling and killed the Ruyi sisters

Wei Yanwan remembered that the original owner had an assistant named Doctor Bao in the Imperial Hospital in her previous life, so she sent Chunchan and Lancui to find Doctor Bao and ask him to prescribe some warming and nourishing medicine for her. When no one was paying attention, she knocked over the medicinal materials that Doctor Qi had given to Concubine Shu.

Making a special pregnancy medicine for Concubine Shu was a secret in the palace. Doctor Qi kept a close eye on the ingredients and prescriptions for the medicine. When he heard that his own medicine was knocked over by the head maid of Yongshou Palace, Doctor Qi thought that Concubine Wei coveted the medicine and wanted to steal the prescription to prepare medicine for herself so that she could get pregnant soon.

But after a private investigation, it was found that this was just an accident. However, this matter was serious, and Doctor Qi did not want to take the responsibility. After thinking about it, he decided to report this matter to the emperor.

On this day, the Emperor summoned Concubine Xian to sleep with him. When he heard that Imperial Physician Qi wanted to see him, the Emperor knew that he had important matters to attend to, so he wanted Concubine Xian to take a bath first.

Ruyi had just walked halfway when she discovered that her pearl flower was missing, so she went back alone to look for it, and happened to overhear the conversation between the Emperor and Doctor Qi.

Doctor Qi explained the incident in detail and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, this is what happened. I have not found anything wrong. It's just that Shupin's pregnancy medicine is special. I want to be cautious, so I came to ask Your Majesty for your decision."

The emperor believed that he knew Wei Yanwan's character and said, "Noble Lady Wei had been tortured for many years in Qixiang Palace. Her health was weak and it was normal for her to want to recuperate. Noble Lady Wei had served me for so long and had never done anything to displease me. I believe this was just an unintentional mistake by her maid."

"I gave Shupin this pregnancy-preserving medicine to prevent her from getting pregnant. It's normal for you to be cautious. Since there is no problem, let's leave it at that."

"Yes, I obey your order! I'll take my leave!" Imperial Physician Qi came here just to seek peace of mind. Since the emperor believes in Concubine Wei, that's the best.

Ruyi heard their conversation and left in a hurry.

Shupin was recommended by the Empress Dowager. Ruyi has always known that the Emperor is very wary of the Empress Dowager. Even though Yehenara Yihuan loves the Emperor very much, the Emperor is still suspicious and wary of her.

But I never expected that the emperor would let Qi Ru use the abortion medicine to prevent Shupin from getting pregnant! This shows how deep the gap between the emperor and the queen mother is!

Ruyi returned the same way and leaned against the bathtub to ask惢心, who was serving beside her, "惢心, I accidentally learned the truth about the pregnancy-preserving medicine given to Shupin by the emperor. Do you think I should tell her?"

惢心 thought for a moment and said, "Shupin truly loves the emperor. If Shupin knew that the emperor was afraid that she was recommended by the empress dowager and was on guard against her giving birth to a dragon fetus, she would be very sad! Shupin regards this pregnancy medicine as the emperor's unique favor to her, and she feels very happy every time she drinks the medicine."

"Living in a muddle has its own happiness. Since Shupin feels happy, I think it is better not to destroy this beauty!"

Ruyi felt that what惢心 said made sense. Since the emperor didn't want anyone to know, it would be better for her to keep the secret.

Since September this year, a smallpox epidemic has broken out in the capital, and countless children have died. The palace has taken strict precautions but still failed to prevent it. Chunniang, the wet nurse who took care of the Seventh Prince, got smallpox and infected the Seventh Prince!

The Emperor and Ruyi were about to go to bed when someone from Changchun Palace came to report that the Seventh Prince had contracted smallpox!

Empress Fucha was determined not to allow anyone to take the Seventh Prince away, and the Emperor also did not allow the Seventh Prince to be taken out of the palace, so she asked the eunuchs to treat the Seventh Prince in Xiefang Palace.

The Queen was extremely anxious and stayed in Xiefang Palace all day to take care of the Seventh Prince. The Emperor was worried and also prayed for the Seventh Prince in front of the Buddha statue.

There was a smallpox epidemic in the palace, and people were in panic for a while.

Since Wei Yanwan started serving the emperor, she has always been on good terms with the six palaces. Because Wei Yanwan showed her love of learning in front of the emperor, the emperor not only taught Wei Yanwan himself, but also asked Shupin, who was also a talented woman, to give Wei Yanwan more guidance.

That day, Wei Yanwan came to visit Shupin and said, "I have seen Sister Shupin. The emperor knelt in the Buddhist temple to pray for the seventh prince. I am really worried about the emperor's health and the safety of the seventh prince. I came here to ask Sister Shupin if she wants to go to the Buddhist temple to pray together?"

Yihuan only had the emperor in her heart. She had known for a long time that the emperor was very worried about the Seventh Prince and had not eaten or drunk anything for a long time. Yihuan was about to leave when Wei Yanwan came unexpectedly.

After hearing what Wei Yanwan said, Yihuan felt that Wei Yanwan was really thinking about the emperor, and quickly responded: "I was just about to go, but I didn't expect Concubine Wei to come first. Concubine Wei is thoughtful, let's go!"

Despite the best efforts of the imperial physician, despite Empress Fucha's sleepless care in Xiefang Palace, and despite the sincere prayers of the Emperor, Wei Yanwan, and Concubine Shu, the tragic news of the Seventh Prince's death still came from Xiefang Palace!

Empress Fucha was in great pain and heartbroken, and the Emperor also rushed to Xiefang Palace to see the Seventh Prince for the last time.

Ruyi and Hailan had just returned from meeting the emperor when they ran into Wei Yanwan and Yihuan leaving the Buddhist temple.

"Your concubine greets Concubine Xian and Concubine Yu!" Yanwan and Yihuan paid their respects.

"The Seventh Prince has passed away. You all know about this, right?" Ruyi said.

Ruyi had mixed feelings at the moment, not knowing whether she felt more happy or more regretful.

Yi Huan nodded and said worriedly, "The Emperor doted on the Seventh Prince the most. How can the Emperor and Empress bear the sudden death of the Seventh Prince? Just now, I saw the Emperor go to Xiefang Palace in a state of dismay. I am really worried about the Emperor's health. Concubine Xian, is the Emperor okay?"

"After all, the emperor is the ruler of a country and must put the overall situation first. Although the emperor is sad about the death of the Seventh Prince, he can still hold on. It's just that the Empress was too sad and has fainted. Princess Jingse has gone to accompany her." Ruyi said.

"It's such a pity! How could there be a smallpox epidemic in Changchun Palace out of the blue? And it was the Seventh Prince's wet nurse!" Yan Wan was sad and confused after hearing this.

Mo Xin once found Ruyi and Hai Lan and said that she wanted to harm the Seventh Prince. After Yan Wan said this, Ruyi and Hai Lan felt panic in their hearts and uncomfortable all over, so Ruyi quickly changed the subject.

"No one can decide on matters of life span. The emperor is certainly sad about the death of the Seventh Prince. But after some time, when the concubines in the palace become pregnant, the pain will be alleviated."

When it comes to pregnancy, Yihuan feels sweet in her heart, but also feels that her body is not doing well. "I have been in the palace for a long time, and I have drunk so many bowls of pregnancy medicine, but there is no pregnancy. I really let the emperor down!"

Yan Wan comforted her, "Sister Shupin, don't worry. It will definitely happen. Just relax."

Ruyi moved her mouth, not knowing whether she should tell the truth.

Looking at Yihuan's happy expression, Ruyi thought to herself, "When Shupin first entered the palace, she was favored constantly, and I felt a little uncomfortable. But because Shupin was recommended by the Queen Mother and was from the Yehenara clan, it was impossible for her to surpass me, so I ignored it."

"No, although the emperor dotes on Shupin, he is even more wary of her pregnancy. It seems that in the emperor's heart, the only one he truly cares about is me! This way, I am relieved."
