Wearing a book, hooking him up

Shui Ning Palace.

At this time, Miaoxia and Nanny Lin were both standing around the bed with anxious looks on their faces.

Miaoxia held a warm handkerchief in her hand and kept wiping the cold sweat from her master's forehead, her movements gentle yet urgent.

"Master, Miaoyun has gone to invite His Highness. The imperial physician will be here soon. Master, please be patient."

Nanny Lin was comforting him softly, her face full of worry, her brows furrowed, and she didn't dare to take her eyes off her master for a moment.

The woman on the bed was as pale as paper. She curled up with her hands on her head, hitting her head from time to time. She closed her eyes tightly, clenched her teeth, and was in so much pain that she couldn't even speak.

As soon as Jun Zechen came in, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

His eyes suddenly became solemn.

It was fine when I left just now, how come it suddenly became like this?

When Miaoxia and Nanny Lin saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come in, they immediately greeted him in a panic and then quickly made way for him.

Jun Zechen quickly walked to the bedside and sat down, tightly holding Su Jingyao's hand, who had been hitting her head, to prevent her from hurting herself again.

Then he carefully helped her up, held her in his arms, reached out his hand, and gently massaged her temple, applying a little force with his fingers.

Jun Zechen has practiced martial arts for many years, and at this moment the heat of his internal energy was continuously emitted from his fingertips. Su Jingyao indeed felt a lot more comfortable, and her frown relaxed a little.

But his eyes were still closed, and he looked unconscious.

"what happened?"

Jun Zechen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Jingyao's expression of pain had lessened a little. He turned to Miaoxia and asked.

"Your Highness, the master has been unable to sleep since your Highness left, so Miaoyue brought the calming soup that had been warmed up for the master to drink. A quarter of an hour after the master drank it, he began to vomit, and then gradually began to have a headache."

Miaoxia answered with her head down.

"Has your master drunk this calming soup today?"

Is there poison in the calming soup?

"Originally, the master would drink a bowl of soothing soup or beauty soup every day, but today..."

Miaoxia's voice became smaller and smaller, and she hesitated, not knowing how to start.

"What happened today?"

Jun Zechen's eyes became sharp.

"Today, the Highness went to Huamei Residence, so the Master was not in the mood to drink any soup, and did not drink the calming soup either. Miaoyue kept the calming soup warm."

Miaoxia bit her lip and mustered up the courage to finish her words in one breath.

As the prince's concubine, my master's behavior is jealousy and should not be spoken out loud.

Jun Zechen's eyebrows jumped suddenly.

When he came out of Huamei Residence and came to Shuining Palace, the woman was still playing cards blatantly and did not have the slightest headache at all.

Jun Zechen thought at the time that she was relying on his favor and was fearless.

After all, she sprained her ankle last time during the Flower Festival and was too lazy to pretend.

In addition, this was not the first time that Su Jingyao sent people to other palaces to ask him to leave, so Jun Zechen did not have any doubts at all.

He even felt that she was smart this time, as she knew to just send a random palace maid to ask for the favor. This way, even if the queen mother pursued the matter, there would be no loss by pushing an insignificant palace maid away.

But now it seems that this is not the case?

"Can your master send someone to Huameiju today to ask me to come and see her?"

Jun Zechen asked in a deep voice.

Nanny Lin then said, "Your Highness, the master knew that you went to Huamei Residence today, and was in a bad mood. He did not drink the tranquilizing soup. Later, Miaoxia played cards with the master to amuse him."

Nanny Lin said as she observed Jun Zechen's expression.

"Normally, if His Highness did not come to Shuining Palace, the Master would read quietly, but tonight the Master could not read..."

Then Nanny Lin knelt down with a plop. "Your Highness, the master has a bit of a temper, but she will never be unruly and deceive Your Highness! The master did not instruct anyone to go to Huamei Residence to invite Your Highness tonight!"

So the reason why Su Jingyao admitted that she did it was because he didn't believe her, so she just admitted it?

Jun Zechen couldn't tell what he felt at the moment. It was indeed his preconceived ideas.

He looked down at the pale-faced woman in his arms and his heart ached.

She was still young and spoke and acted directly. When she first explained that it was the Crown Princess who framed her, he should have believed her.

"Today I will go to Huamei Residence to ask for my maid to leave. Please call her in."

Jun Zechen's voice was icy cold without a trace of warmth.

When Miaoxia turned around and walked out, the anxious expression on her face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a sneer.

With a cold sneer, he realized that if he hurt his master, he would not be able to escape unscathed, even if there was a Crown Princess behind him.

Soon, Miaoxia came in with Aokiji.

Aokiji was already panicking about having to invite the prince tonight, and he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Being suddenly summoned now frightened him to death and was extremely scared.

"Slave, please see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Her voice was trembling violently and she knelt on the ground trembling.

Jun Zechen didn't shout or say anything, but his big hands continued to gently massage Su Jingyao's temples.

Aokiji was kneeling on the ground with his head buried, not daring to look up at the prince's expression. But when he came in just now, he quickly glanced at the concubine's pale face.

What's going on here?

She was extremely scared now. The unknown direction of events made her hands tremble constantly, and her body also trembled slightly.

Jun Zechen has been the emperor for decades and is best at psychological games. When interrogating people, he naturally has to do so when the other person's psychological defenses are at their weakest, so he remains silent to create a depressing atmosphere.

After a cup of tea, An Shun and Doctor Li hurried in.

"I am here to see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Doctor Li bowed, looking a little tired.

"Come and see why the concubine has a headache."

Jun Zechen's eyes never left Su Jingyao.

Imperial Doctor Li was on duty tonight and was sleeping in the Imperial Hospital. He was hurriedly pulled from his bed by An Shun. He was terrified all the way, thinking that something had happened to the Crown Prince, but he didn't expect it was the concubine.

But he did not dare to complain at all. He hurriedly picked up the medicine box and walked quickly to the bedside. Then he took out a handkerchief and placed it on the concubine's slender wrist and began to take her pulse carefully.

Doctor Li frowned, his expression becoming more serious.

The pulse rate has increased and is rapid, which is not good.

Then, he asked in detail about the concubine's symptoms, what she ate and drank.

Miaoxia did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and answered all the questions in detail.

"Bring me the tranquilizing soup." Doctor Li said seriously.

Miaoxia hurriedly brought it over, and Doctor Li dipped a little on his finger, then gently put it into his mouth to try it.

Then, his expression became more serious, "Your Highness, this calming soup contains oleander juice."

"If the concubine drank this, it would be normal to have a headache. Fortunately, she didn't drink too much. Oleander juice is poisonous. Drinking too much would be extremely dangerous."

When Miaoxia heard the word "oleander", anger flashed in her eyes, and she immediately reported to Jun Zechen: "Your Highness, now is the season when oleander is in full bloom. The master likes the gorgeous scenery of oleander in full bloom, so he asked the flower room to send a lot of it."

"But the palace maids in the flower room have repeatedly warned us that this flower can only be used for viewing and not for eating. I didn't expect that someone in the Shui Ning Palace would use this flower to murder the master."

"Aokiji, you took care of these flowers, and you also made the fire and watched over this calming soup. Are you the one who plotted to murder the master?"

Miaoxia suddenly turned around and shouted at Aokiji, her eyes seeming to spit fire.

Qingzhi looked up with a trembling body, her face full of horror, "I have never harmed the master, I have never done anything, this is not what I did."

As he spoke, he kowtowed hard, and his forehead made a "bang bang" sound when it hit the ground. Soon it became red and swollen.

She just followed the Crown Princess's orders and went to Huamei Residence to ask His Highness to leave. She knew nothing else. Could it be that the Crown Princess sent someone to poison the concubine?

Does the Crown Princess want her to be a scapegoat?

Jun Zechen ignored Aokiji's fearful pleas for mercy.

"Doctor Li, please prescribe medicine for the concubine first. She has a severe headache now."

Jun Zechen didn't dare to let go of the hand on her temple for a moment. If he loosened his grip even a little, she would show a look of pain, which would make his heart tighten.

"Yes."

However, Doctor Li hesitated again, and said, "Your Highness, the concubine..."

"What happened to the concubine?"

Jun Zechen hated to see these imperial doctors hesitant in their words. He became more annoyed and his voice became heavier.

"The concubine seems to have contraceptive drugs in her body." Doctor Li said stiffly.

"What did you say."

Jun Zechen almost squeezed out word by word from between his teeth.

Since she entered the Eastern Palace more than three months ago, Jun Zechen has only favored her. He originally thought that she was not pregnant because she was still young, and he also thought that pregnancy depended on fate, so he did not suspect anything else.

but!

Could it be that someone gave her contraceptive drugs after she entered the Eastern Palace?

So you've never gotten pregnant?

who is it?

Ling Yue has been targeting Su Jingyao ever since she entered the Eastern Palace, and has been swift and resolute in her actions, taking charge of the Eastern Palace's internal affairs. The only one who has the opportunity and the purpose is Ling Yue.

"Anshun, check for me. Anything that belongs to the concubine in Shuining Palace, please check carefully for me. Why is there contraceptive drugs in the concubine's body?"

Jun Zechen's voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air around them.

"Your Highness, the concubine doesn't have much contraceptive drugs in her body, but judging from her pulse, she has been taking them for some time."

Doctor Li continued carefully.

Jun Zechen's face became increasingly gloomy, his lips were tightly closed, and he did not speak.

"Your Highness, I will go and prepare some medicine for your concubine to relieve her headache and detoxify the oleander."

After Doctor Li finished speaking, he hurriedly left.

Jun Zechen then turned his icy gaze to Aokiji.

"Anshun, take the man to the Ministry of Punishment and torture him severely. Don't let him die unless he confesses something."

Although he said that he didn't want anyone to die, the way he looked at Aokiji at this moment was as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Your Highness, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare me, I know nothing, I have never poisoned the concubine."

Aokiji cried out at the top of his lungs, his voice was shrill and desperate, and his frightened eyes seemed to be begging for the last bit of mercy.

She struggled desperately, trying to break free from the eunuch's hands that were dragging her.

Anshun simply raised his hand and gestured expressionlessly, and several strong eunuchs quickly stepped forward, grabbed Aokiji tightly, and dragged her out mercilessly.

Not to mention that His Highness was irritable and angry at the moment, Anshun was also in a much more irritable mood after tossing and turning in the middle of the night.

I'm afraid this palace maid is completely useless.

Doctor Li's medicine was brought up soon. Jun Zechen helped Su Jingyao up and fed her the medicine himself.

Seeing that her headache was relieved and her complexion was gradually becoming rosy, I finally felt relieved.

Su Jingyao was not actually unconscious. She just drank a little oleander juice, which made her dizzy and she could only close her eyes.

After drinking the medicine, I felt my eyes slowly open.

Jun Zechen saw her open her eyes and asked softly, "How is it? Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. Thank you, Your Highness, for calling the imperial physician for me. I want to rest now."

Su Jingyao had an indifferent expression, her eyelashes drooping, and she didn't even look at Jun Zechen. She broke free from his arms and lay down.

"I'll be with you tonight."

Jun Zechen's voice became much gentler.

"Your Highness, don't force yourself. I won't make trouble for no reason. Your Highness, please go back to Yude Hall and have a good rest."

Su Jingyao's tone was cold and full of alienation.

Jun Zechen knew that she was sulking. It was normal for a little girl to have a bit of temper when she was wronged. He sighed helplessly in his heart.

Jun Zechen took off his outer robe and lay down. The two looked at each other face to face. Su Jingyao was very reluctant and didn't want to see him. She was about to turn around, but Jun Zechen stretched out his hand to stop her.

"Why do you want to admit that you sent someone to get me away?" Jun Zechen looked deep in his eyes.

Su Jingyao regained some strength, stared at him with her beautiful eyes, and refused to give in: "It was I who did it!"

"Your Highness has already punished me. Since I have been confined to my room for three days, Your Highness should not break the rules and come to the Shuining Palace again."

There was obvious resentment in Su Jingyao's words.

"I can't give birth anyway, so please go to the new sisters."

Su Jingyao's voice was filled with self-mockery. Her originally pretty face was now filled with sadness. Her eyes were red and tears were welling up in them, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

When Jun Zechen heard her say the three words "can't have children", he felt as if his heart was hit hard by a heavy hammer and was deeply saddened.

He never expected that Ling Yue could be so cruel. Su Jingyao was only fifteen years old and had only been in the Eastern Palace for three months, but she was given contraceptive drugs.

Jun Zechen felt so distressed that he quickly hugged the person in his arms and comforted him with a gentle voice.

"Be good, I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and Doctor Li will definitely take good care of your body. How can Jiaojiao be unable to have children?"

His eyes were full of care and he rested his chin gently on the top of her head, stroking it gently, trying to calm her inner pain and anxiety.
