But before He Yun left, Wu Jin arrived.

It was just sneaking around, and when she saw Kang Zhi here, she wanted to leave, but was stopped by Concubine Li, "Empress Jin, since you are here, why don't you come and sit for a while?"

Being stared at by everyone, Wu Jin felt embarrassed to leave, so he walked slowly until he got closer.

But just as she stood firm, Kang Zhi said, "It's a good coincidence that Concubine Jin came. It's a good opportunity for the prince consort to see the dragon baby in Concubine Jin's belly."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jin tightened his grip on the handkerchief, then smiled and said, "It's okay, my child is fine, no need to check."

Ye Jiu looked confused, "My Lady? Are you feeling unwell?"

Kang Zhi glanced at her and said, "Your Majesty, you can't hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor. It's His Majesty's order that the Prince Consort see you."

Wu Jin held the handkerchief tightly and refused to let go. “But I don’t think anything is wrong!”

Seeing this, Concubine Li hurried over to smooth things over, "I'm still pregnant, and I don't feel anything, but it's better to let the doctor take a look, right?"

Concubine Li touched her belly, her whole body radiating the glow of motherhood, "Besides, you don't know how happy I am every time the imperial physician tells me that the baby is healthy."

Concubine Rou also echoed the sentiment, and at the end she looked at Concubine Jin in confusion, "Could it be that Concubine Jin has something to hide?"

But no matter what they said, Jin Fei was unwilling and even wanted to run away.

But a voice interrupted several people, "What are you arguing about?"

Kang Zhi hurried over and explained, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jin doesn't want to take her pulse."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qi cast a scrutinizing look at Wu Jin and asked, "Why don't you want to take my pulse?"

Wu Jin quickly knelt on the ground, stammering but unable to say anything.

Emperor Qi lost his patience and ordered Ye Jiu, "Show her what's going on."

By the way, the Emperor of Qi also asked several palace maids to subdue Wu Jin.

As soon as Ye Jiu felt Wu Jin's pulse, she began to tremble uncontrollably.

After a moment, Ye Jiu couldn't believe it, "How could this happen?"

Emperor Qi frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Ye Jiu bowed his hands and explained, "Your Majesty, the Queen's pulse is not a happy pulse."

Ye Jiu's medicine can only make Wu Jin falsely pregnant, and the effect is only two months.

Wu Jin's timid look was obviously due to her exposure to blood. She must have known that she was being fooled.

The Emperor of Qi had already turned gloomy after hearing Ye Jiu's answer.

Wu Jin was so scared that she knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I didn't know either."

"I went to pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen, and had some refreshments in Her Majesty's palace, and then... then..."

"Your Majesty, I really don't know."

Although Wu Jin's words were confusing, Emperor Qi would guess it himself, and what Ye Jiu said just now was also ambiguous.

He wasn't talking about a happy pregnancy, and he didn't say Wu Jin had no children from beginning to end.

Emperor Qi would wonder whether it was the Queen who killed Concubine Jin's child.

As expected, the Emperor of Qi had a gloomy expression on his face. He glanced at Wu Jin who was lying limp on the ground, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Imperial Concubine Rou kindly helped Wu Jin up and said, "Don't be afraid, Imperial Concubine Jin. His Majesty is wise and will surely know your injustice and seek justice for you."

Ye Jiu did not stay long, using the excuse that he missed the princess. As soon as the emperor left, he followed him.

One and a half months, they have to speed up.

Qi Zi was indeed worried as she was alone at home, so her personal maid Li'er and housekeeper Di stayed by her side all the time.

"Princess, don't worry," Li'er said worriedly, holding a bowl of porridge, "My master is blessed by heaven, and he will definitely come back safely."

"But how can you not eat? Seeing that you have lost weight, I will be sad when I come back."

Qi Zi really had no appetite, "Put it aside for now."

"A Zi," Ye Jiu's voice came from outside the door.

Qi Zi was overjoyed. She helped Li'er stand up, but before she reached the door, she saw Ye Jiu coming in.

"Why did you just come back these days?" Qi Zi's eyes were dark and it seemed that he had not had a good rest these days.

Ye Jiu held Qi Zi's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm back now."

He also wanted to come back every day, but His Majesty would not let him and would not release him until his condition improved.

Ye Jiu looked at the porridge on the table, met Li Er's resentful gaze, and then looked at Qi Zi, "Why don't you eat?"

Qi Zi looked at Li Er with a reproachful look before saying, "It's all because of you."

"These days, rumors are circulating that Father is going to die. If Qi Xian ascends the throne, you will be the first to die. How can I not be worried?"

Ever since the incident with Concubine Yin, Qi Zi ordered Butler Di to secretly clean the princess's mansion.

All the secret passages and secret rooms were blocked, and Steward Di also threw away all the things that shouldn't be in the princess's mansion.

Ye Jiu sighed and touched Qi Zi's ear, "You really don't understand me at all. I, your husband, have superb medical skills and can bring the dead back to life."

"Don't even mention the side effects of that medicine. Even if the poison has penetrated into his bones, I can still bring him back from the underworld."

Qi Zi drank a mouthful of the porridge that Ye Jiu fed her, thought for a moment and asked, "What medicine is that?"

Ye Jiu coughed twice in embarrassment, "To strengthen the body."

Butler Di on the side had a bad look on his face, obviously blaming Ye Jiu for leading the princess astray.

Qi Zi drank the porridge in small sips, seeming to be lost in thought.

Seeing that Qi Zi was finally ready to eat, Li'er ordered the kitchen to prepare more food.

When the bowl of porridge was finished, Qi Zi asked again, "Since it is good for health, why did father become seriously ill after eating it?"

Ye Jiu paused and said nonsense in a serious tone, "Medicine is poisonous to some extent. Your Majesty is old and has taken too much, so he is naturally sick."

Qi Zi nodded, and under Ye Jiu's expectant gaze, she finally stopped asking any more questions.

Because Butler Di's eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone.

Not long after Ye Jiu left, an imperial edict came from the palace - the edict to depose the queen.

The reason was murdering concubines and murdering the royal heir.

There is evidence for every single case.

The Ren family just wanted to plead for mercy, but they had no reason to do so.

Since then, the Queen's vegetarianism and Buddhist chanting over the years became a joke.

The Ren family also began to panic at this time, fearing that they would be the next Yin family.

But His Majesty only deposed the queen and didn't say anything else, so the Ren family breathed a sigh of relief.

But He Yun knew that His Majesty had kept it for him.

However, before dealing with the Ren family, He Yun first told the emperor something, about how the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice spent a huge amount of money to treat the eighth prince to a meal.

As expected, when the emperor heard this, his face turned even darker, and he looked like he wanted to tear the eighth prince apart and eat him.

What he hated most was his son and his ministers forming cliques for personal gain.

What? Are you hoping for his death?

"He Qing," Emperor Qi looked at He Yun, "How did you know about this?"

He Yun did not hide anything and told His Majesty that the Eighth Prince and several ministers had gone mad at night, causing many injuries.

"Crazy?" Emperor Qi was incredulous. "He was fine, how could he suddenly go crazy?"

He Yun cupped his hands and explained the whole cause and effect clearly.
