"Tell me, what happened today?"

The emperor pointed at the young eunuch.

The young eunuch spoke eloquently, "Your Majesty! Today, the Queen felt very bored in the palace and wanted to come out for some fresh air.

Her Majesty thought that the scenery of Merlin was particularly beautiful now, so the servants accompanied her here.

After staying in Merlin for about half an hour, I was worried that Your Majesty would catch a cold, so I decided to go back.

As soon as the sedan chair was lifted up, a wild cat jumped out and landed on the empress's legs. The empress was frightened and the sedan chair tilted and she sat on the ground.

"What? Concubine Mei fell down directly?" The emperor was shocked.

"Yes...it is I who deserves to die. It is my fault that I failed to take good care of Her Majesty. Please punish me, Your Majesty." The little eunuch cried.

"Don't cry, I will punish you. Now tell me everything you saw." The emperor said impatiently.

He was wondering if someone had released this wild cat on purpose.

"Later, the Empress had her spotting. The servants did not dare to move her, so they sent someone to invite Imperial Physician Zhou. But Imperial Physician Zhou was late in arriving. It was Miss Jiang who saved the Empress." The young eunuch did not forget to file a complaint against Imperial Physician Zhou.

Imperial Physician Zhou looked at the young eunuch sadly, his legs were about to break from running.

"Miss Jiang saved Concubine Mei?" The emperor looked at Jiang Chuwei.

He remembered that it was she who saved Prince Yan of the Yongning Marquisate.

"Yes, it was Miss Jiang who saved her. Miss Jiang gave the Empress a pill, and the Empress' stomachache went away." The little eunuch continued.

Imperial Physician Zhou understood: "No wonder the Madam's health is the same as usual, it turns out that Miss Jiang brought her back to health with her miraculous hands."

The emperor glared at Imperial Physician Zhou viciously.

Imperial Physician Zhou immediately shut up.

After hearing what Imperial Physician Zhou said, the Emperor could easily understand that it was Jiang Chuwei who saved his Concubine Mei.

But why is it such a coincidence?

"Why does Miss Jiang carry pills with her?"

The emperor looked over with sharp eyes.

Jiang Chuwei lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I will always carry the pills with me wherever I go."

"Sister Jiang, you are very thoughtful." Princess Qingning took the opportunity to compliment her.

Jiang Chuwei looked at her with a smile.

"Is this pill used to maintain pregnancy?" the emperor continued to ask.

Jiang Chuwei cursed in her heart, is he suspicious and trying her as a criminal?

As expected, the emperor was as suspicious as the rumors said.

"No, it's used for detoxification." Jiang Chuwei replied calmly.

"Detoxification?" The emperor and Zhou Yuyi asked in unison.

"Yes, your bleeding is caused by poisoning, not a fall."

Imperial Physician Zhou put away his admiring thoughts. Wasn't it obvious that this was nonsense?

There is no sign of poisoning on your Majesty!

"Zhou Zhitong, what do you say?" The emperor looked at the imperial physician Zhou.

Imperial Physician Zhou’s scalp felt numb.

As long as the emperor called him by his full name, he had to be careful about his head.

"Your Majesty, I did not feel that the Queen's pulse was poisoned." Imperial Physician Zhou answered truthfully.

"Imperial Physician Zhou, why don't you take my pulse again?" Jiang Chuwei said.

Zhou Zhitong looked at the emperor.

“OK!”

Imperial Physician Zhou took the patient's pulse more seriously and carefully this time.

"Imperial Physician Zhou, in addition to the slippery pulse, does the Empress' pulse also have a slight needle-like pulse?" Jiang Chuwei asked.

Imperial Physician Zhou frowned.

Indeed, he was negligent just now.

After Jiang Chuwei's reminder, there really was a needle-like pulse.

Imperial Physician Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen has indeed been poisoned."

"Bang!" The teapot fell to the ground.

A big bump immediately appeared on Imperial Physician Zhou’s forehead.

"I deserve to die!" Imperial Physician Zhou knelt down hurriedly.

"Has Concubine Mei been poisoned a long time ago? Don't you realize that why I keep a bunch of useless people like you in the Imperial Hospital? If anything happens to Concubine Mei, I will let you all be buried with her." The emperor's face turned green with anger.

"Your Majesty! I am guilty. I will do my best to take care of Her Majesty." Imperial Physician Zhou knocked his head to the ground, his forehead covered with dirt.

"Your Majesty, I dare to say that this poison cannot be blamed on Imperial Physician Zhou. Normally, this poison would not take effect at all. It is just that Your Majesty stayed in Merlin for a long time today, which caused the poison to take effect. As long as Your Majesty does not go to Merlin, the child can be born safely."

Seeing that Jiang Chuwei spoke so convincingly, the emperor completely believed that she really had the ability.

"Tell me, what is the name of this poison? Will it affect Concubine Mei's health?" The emperor was anxious to know, and he tried his best to suppress the rage in his heart.

How could someone dare to poison someone right under his nose? If he were to find out, he would tear him into pieces.

Jiang Chuwei said: "This is called plum blossoms. If you eat it alone, it won't cause any symptoms. However, if a pregnant woman eats it and inhales the plum blossom pollen, she may have a bleeding episode at best, or even lose the fetus at worst."

"Wang Defu, investigate for me. I must find this man and tear him into pieces." The emperor said gritting his teeth.

Princess Qingning had never seen such an imperial uncle.

It turns out that Uncle Huang would almost lose his mind for a woman.

She looked at the emperor on the dragon chariot, and looked at everyone with murderous eyes.

Looking at Concubine Mei, the emperor's uncle quickly put on a gentle and affectionate face.

Princess Qingning looked at Concubine Mei, and strangely enough, there was no emotion on her face.

She was completely confused. According to common sense, shouldn't Concubine Mei be the angriest person?

How could she be so calm? Like an outsider.

Princess Qingning looked at Jiang Chuwei, and Jiang Chuwei shook her head at her.

Princess Qingning held back what she was about to say.

"Your Majesty! It's time to go back. The ministers are still waiting." Wang Defu reminded the emperor.

Anyway, the Empress has nothing to do, and state affairs cannot be delayed.

Just now someone came to report that Concubine Mei fell off the sedan chair, and the emperor immediately left his ministers and ran towards Mei Lin.

The ministers looked at each other, wondering what had happened.

As the emperor ran along, he thought of many possible endings.

If he and Concubine Mei had no child, would Concubine Mei leave the palace?

Nothing must happen to his child, and Concubine Mei will never be able to leave the palace in her lifetime.

"Send the Queen back to the Plum Blossom Palace." the Emperor ordered.

"Miss Jiang, please come with us." the emperor added.

Princess Qingning stamped her feet. What was going on?

Now that Concubine Mei is fine, why does she want them to go back with her?

Jiang Chuwei took her hand and said, "It won't take long. Let's go and take a look."

"Wang Defu, go find that wild cat." The emperor continued to order.

If the investigation proves that someone released the body on purpose, not everyone can bear the charge of murdering the royal heir.

Wang Defu took the order, and the emperor went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to discuss state affairs.

In the Plum Blossom Palace, Jiang Chuwei saw clearly the treatment of the favorite concubine.

Even the carved wooden chairs are inlaid with gemstones, and there are all kinds of precious porcelain and jade articles placed everywhere.

The palace is covered with thick carpets, and there are two crystal palace lamps in the Plum Blossom Palace, which are rarely seen outside.

It is no exaggeration to describe the Plum Blossom Palace as magnificent.

They had just come from Fengyi Palace, and compared to here, they looked much more shabby.

Even Princess Qingning, who grew up in a wealthy family, looked around in surprise.

No wonder everyone wants to be a favorite concubine.

Wealth and splendor are dazzling. Just for these jade and porcelain pieces, any one of them is enough for an ordinary family to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

Concubine Mei lay lazily on the couch, her face returning to its rosy color.

What a beauty!

Imperial Physician Zhou wrote out a few prescriptions, gave a few instructions, and then went back to work.

Jiang Chuwei was about to leave. Mei Fei suddenly asked, "You know everything?"
