After the young eunuch had been punished, he stood up trembling. At this time, a eunuch from the same palace came and helped him into the Silijian, where the eunuchs lived.

This young eunuch was the lowest-ranking eunuch serving the emperor. He had just been promoted to a higher rank because of his ability in dealing with people, so the emperor sent him to get new clothes. He was so happy about his promotion that he accidentally bumped into the queen.

The young eunuch was called Xiao Yinzi. Because of the brief encounter he had just had, Xiao Yinzi remembered Concubine De and secretly vowed in his heart that he would repay Concubine De in the future.

At this time, the eunuch came to ask, where did you take the emperor's new clothes, Xiaoyinzi? Xiaoyinzi said, "Father, I accidentally bumped into the Queen and was beaten just now, so now I really can't deliver the clothes to the emperor. I'm sorry to trouble you. Father, please help me this time." Then she stuffed all her savings into the father-in-law.

My father-in-law said, "Okay, I'll help you this time, but be careful next time."

Today, the princess went to visit Concubine De and saw that there were not many charcoal fires in Concubine De's palace. Moreover, the princess also heard the eunuchs and palace maids talking about Concubine De's unfavorable deeds against the Queen Mother.

At this time, the eunuch shouted, "Princess Defei wants to see you." Defei came out to greet her and held the princess' hand, saying, "Princess, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been recently? Come into the room quickly."

The princess entered the room and sat down, and found that there was very little charcoal fire and it was not very hot. The princess wondered what happened, is there a shortage of charcoal fire in the palace? Why is your room so cold? Concubine De did not say anything.

Xiao Cui and Xiao Rong said at this time, Princess, you don’t know, these servants are all looking down on people. The Emperor hasn’t favored Concubine De for a long time, and they all say that our Concubine is not good, so the food, clothes, and charcoal they give us are the worst.

We had to pay with silver, otherwise we wouldn't even have this little charcoal.

The princess said, "I will go back to the palace tomorrow. I will go to the Queen Mother and ask her to tell you that you are not an ominous person."

Princess, it's okay. We've been living like this for a long time and I'm used to it. The Queen Mother has been unwell recently so please don't trouble her.

The princess held Concubine De's hand and said, "Has my brother not come to see you recently? I remember that you two had a good relationship. What happened recently?"

Defei said, who knows what the king likes, once you enter the palace it is like entering a deep sea.

Oh, forget it, how are you doing lately?

The princess said, I have good news to tell you, I am pregnant.

At this time, the queen heard that the princess had come to the palace of Concubine De, and quickly sent someone to bring food. There was a drug that could cause abortion in it.

The queen thought that if this happened in Concubine De's palace, it would really prove that Concubine De was unlucky, and she could also put the blame on Concubine De for harming the princess.

So they sent someone to deliver food, and the eunuch said that the Empress Defei had sent someone to deliver food to the Empress. So they brought up all the delicious dishes.

Concubine De thought that the Empress had never sent food before, so why was she so attentive today? It must be something bad.

The princess said, "I'm just hungry." The princess was about to eat, and Concubine De said, "Princess, wait a minute, Xiaorong will come and get the silver needle."

Sure enough, the silver needle was found to be poisonous. The princess immediately threw away the cake in her hand. At this time, Defei said, Xiaorong go and call Imperial Doctor Zhang. Imperial Doctor Zhang was awarded to Defei by the emperor. The emperor was afraid that the imperial doctors in the palace would harm her, so he awarded Imperial Doctor Zhang to Defei.

Imperial Physician Zhang came over not long after, and paid his respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess and to Concubine De. Concubine De then said, "Imperial Physician, please check what kind of poison is in this dish."

After the examination, the imperial physician said, "Your Majesty, this is musk, which is poisonous and can cause miscarriage if consumed by pregnant women."

The princess looked incredulous and asked, "Are you pregnant, Concubine De?" Concubine De replied, "I'm not."

The princess said, "Is she trying to harm me?" The queen actually wanted to harm me? Harm the baby in my belly? I have never had any grudge against her, why would she want to harm me?
