Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode

Liu Zhu thought for a moment and murmured, "The only people in the palace who have a grudge against our young master are probably Yu Shi and Lady Xia... and Concubine Hua."

If Xia Dongchun heard this, he would definitely cry out that it was unfair.

Zhen Huan put down the medicine jar and said, "It shouldn't be Concubine Xia. Since she entered the palace, she has never mentioned the matter of the palace selection day again. She has also been much nicer to me and Mei Jie, and she is not targeting Ling Rong like that. Besides, she is pregnant now, and the emperor often visits her. She really has no reason to harm me."

"That must be Yu or Concubine Hua!" Liu Zhu said with certainty, "Except for them, no one else would harm the young lady like this!"

"Yes, didn't I hear you say two days ago that after Yu moved out of Zhongcui Palace, she cursed our young master?" Huanbi also echoed.

"Come and take a look," Zhen Huan discovered something was wrong at this moment. She held up the lid of the medicine jar and said, "The color of the lid and the jar body seem to be slightly different!"

"It's true!" Several people gathered around to take a look and found that it was indeed as Zhen Huan said, the color of the lid and the body of the medicine jar were indeed different.

Jin Xi was an old man in the palace after all, so she figured it out quickly: "Could it be that the lid of the medicine jar has been placed in the water with medicine for a long time, and the lid has absorbed the water and the medicine, so the color has become darker. Once the young master's medicine boils, it will touch the lid, and then... the medicine in the lid will be mixed into the young master's medicine without anyone noticing."

"What a meticulous technique." Zhen Huan's eyes fell on the medicine jar, "No wonder we couldn't find out what it was."

After a moment of silence, Zhen Huan asked, "Who usually keeps these things?"

Huanbi replied, "I kept it originally, but now... it is kept by the new palace maid Huasui."

"Xiao Yunzi, pour out the medicine and put the jar back to its original place so as not to arouse suspicion. Also, find out the origin of this flower spike for me." Zhen Huan ordered.

"Yeah." Xiao Yunzi retreated holding the medicine jar.

Yanxi Palace

Noblewoman Borjigit accompanied Xia Dongchun to make clothes for her unborn child, and also talked about what happened this morning when she was paying respects to her husband: "Sister, you must be careful in the future. The words of the Queen this morning may have made many people eye your belly. Shang Lipin failed to harm you, but we can't guarantee that we will be so lucky every time and discover it in advance."

"The child is only three months old, and it will take nearly seven months for him to mature." Xia Dongchun was a little worried. "As the saying goes, there is a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Living in fear all day is not a solution after all."

"That's true. I see there are bruises under your eyes. Didn't you sleep well these past two days?" Borjigit asked with concern.

"It's not that I didn't sleep well, but I always feel sleepy during the day." Xia Dongchun said helplessly, "But I can't sleep every day, so my complexion looks a little worse."

"It's normal for pregnant women to feel sleepy." Noblewoman Borjigit smiled, "But has my sister been examined by the imperial physician?"

"Not really. I thought it was normal to feel sleepy when you are healthy, so I didn't call the doctor." Xia Dongchun shook his head.

"Zi Su, go and ask the imperial physician to come." Noblewoman Borjigit was much more perceptive and immediately asked Zi Su to ask the imperial physician to come.

Zi Su responded and walked out quickly.

"What? What are you suspecting, sister?" Xia Dongchun was a little panicked when she saw her reaction. After all, she had been tried by Lipin once before. Although she failed, it did teach her a lesson.

"It's always better to be careful." Noblewoman Borjigit did not say it explicitly, for fear that he was wrong and would cause her panic in vain.

Soon, the imperial physician arrived and checked Xia Dongchun's pulse. After a careful examination, he said, "I wonder if the young lady has been eating regularly recently? Can I take a look?"

This is where the problem lies.

Xia Dongchun's heart sank, and he said to Qi Ling, "Go and bring the plate of three-color jade belt cake."

She has been eating some three-color jade belt cake every day for the past two days, and she thinks there is something wrong with it.

The imperial physician carefully examined it, took a small bite, and then knelt down to apologize: "I am incompetent and allowed the young lady's food to be adulterated. Please punish me, young lady."

Although they had guessed this result, Borjigit and Xia Dongchun were still shocked.

"What is it? Poison? Or a drug that causes miscarriage?" asked Noble Borjigit.

The doctor shook his head: "It is not a poison, and it will not endanger your life for the time being. But...but if you take this medicine for a long time, you may give birth to a stillborn baby when you are about to give birth!"

"What did you say?!" Xia Dongchun was shocked both physically and mentally. She stood up suddenly and accidentally knocked over the pastries beside her, scattering them all over the floor.

"Don't worry, sister." Noblewoman Borjigit also stood up and comforted her. "We have discovered it now, haven't we? And according to the imperial physician, the child should be fine now. Let's hear what the imperial physician has to say first."

The imperial physician also bowed his head and said, "My lady, please don't panic. How long have you been eating this cake?"

"It's only seven or eight days, will it have any impact?" Yun Ling asked hurriedly.

The imperial physician heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "That's not a big deal. Besides, the young lady doesn't eat much every day. I just need to prescribe a prescription and take good care of her."

Hearing this, Xia Dongchun felt a little relieved, but...

"Investigate! I want to investigate carefully!" Xia Dongchun's eyes were red, but her eyes were determined. She held on to the table and said, "I want to see who wants to harm me and my child like this!"

Borjigit gently stroked her back and soothed her: "Sister, don't get angry now. Getting angry will only be bad for your health. Don't worry, now that we have discovered it, we must find out who is behind it!"

"Thanks to my sister, otherwise, otherwise..." Xia Dongchun came back to her senses and held Borjigit's hand tightly, "If it weren't for my sister, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark!"

The imperial physician also said, "It is also my fault. I did not find it in time. Please forgive me, my lord."

Xia Dongchun smiled bitterly: "Doctor, please get up quickly. How can you be blamed for this? If someone has this intention, we can't prevent it."

"Please, imperial physician, write a prescription first and have someone prepare it for Concubine Xia." Concubine Borjigit said to the imperial physician, and the imperial physician withdrew first.

"We still have to let the emperor and the empress know about this." After the imperial physician left, Borjigit looked at Xia Dongchun and said, "This time the medicine has been put into your food. We can't let it go easily."

"Okay." Xia Dongchun made up her mind. She had originally thought so.

Last time, things were left unresolved, but this time it absolutely cannot be like this.
