After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she became a spirit and was punished, and

The silver needle on the fingertip was pulled out, and dark red blood slowly flowed out along the hole of the silver needle.

Zhao Kuangsheng gently warned, "Third Lady, part of the slow poison in your body has been expelled. If you want to completely remove the remaining poison, you will need six more acupuncture sessions. However, to protect the safety of the fetus in your belly, you can only do it once every seven days."

"The previous pregnancy-preserving medicine was ineffective. I will prescribe a new prescription for you."

Young Joo said gratefully, her eyes dull, “Thank you.”

"Madam, you are too polite. This is my duty."

Ginkgo led Zhao Kuangsheng to find paper and pen to write down the prescription.

Rongzhu's eyes were dull as she lowered her eyes to look at the needle hole stuck in the lines on her fingertips.

Seeing her distraught look, Xiyu couldn't help but comfort her.

"We have found the scent of the bed curtain and the fox-tailed white crane. We are still missing one of the three elements. It must be secret and difficult to find. But it doesn't matter. If we are missing two of the three, the poison will be useless."

Rongzhu nodded mechanically, then suddenly remembered something and said nervously, "You came to my room today and smelled the fragrance, and drank the medicinal food, so your body should not be affected, right?"

Xiyu had always been in poor health and was about to give birth.

If she was affected, she would be to blame.

"Third sister-in-law is really worried and confused."

Xi Yu smiled brightly at her and consoled her:

"You don't have the third medicinal ingredient in your house, so the fragrance and medicinal food are just ordinary things to me."

The food on the table had already been cleared away.

She sat cross-legged at the table, holding her chin with both hands, thinking, "Chronic poison needs to be present for a long time to take effect, and the other party acted cautiously and used a very small amount of medicine."

"I guess the third ingredient must have appeared in the places you often go to, on the servants who serve you in your room, or on your clothes and jewelry... We need to check all of them."

“That’s quite a lot…”

She muttered quietly, "Since ancient times, there have been thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If someone wants to harm others, it is really hard to guard against them."

Rongzhu saw that her brows were almost furrowed into a "川" shape, so she reached out and stroked her brows, "These are all things I need to worry about, so don't worry about them, little girl."

"Besides, we meet to chat and relieve boredom. Why think about unhappy things? I haven't learned the new leaf cards you taught me last time. Talk to me about it again."

She changed the subject, and Xiyu's thoughts were quickly drawn to it.

When it was almost dark, the two reluctantly parted.

"Third sister-in-law, please take care of yourself. The servants and doctors around you must be loyal and reliable."

Before leaving, Xiyu gave worried instructions.

"Don't worry. Let's not talk about the mess in the Dong'e Mansion for now. I have lived in the palace for several years after all. I understand these things."

Rongzhu couldn't be exposed to the wind, so she didn't go out to see her off.

He specifically asked Ginkgo to fill the hot water bottle in advance to warm the bedding in the carriage, and to get the people into the carriage safely.

After a long time, Ginkgo came back and waited quietly for Rongzhu to speak.

Dong E Rongzhu closed his eyes and rested, his two index fingers circling around a corner of the handkerchief.

Regular, slow.

It has the same effect as rubbing Buddhist beads or beating a wooden fish while meditating.

These are things that need to be done when you are calm.

When the moon rose into the sky, she opened her eyes again, and her eyes were clear and bright.

"Pen and ink are at your service."

Ginkgo brought over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone as instructed.

The candlelight flickers, and the ink marks on the paper form a chapter.

"Tell someone to send it back to Dong'e Mansion and give it to my mother."

In the previous few years, the group of concubines in Yinzhi's backyard only knew how to seduce Yinzhi into his room. Although they sometimes became jealous and played some tricks, they were all petty tricks.

Moreover, he rarely makes trouble in front of her.

This led to her becoming lazy and always feeling that Yinzhi's concubine was not worth her attention.

But now...

She lowered her eyes and stroked her belly with her slender white hands.

It seems that the baby in her belly is very scary.

After a while, Yinzhi returned from his post. After hearing about this, his usually humble and smiling face became serious.

"It took so much effort for the master to finally have a legitimate son and daughter, but it's only been a few days and someone is already impatient."

Rongzhu looked at his expression and didn't seem to be pretending, so her heart slowly settled down.

Although she has no shortage of power, money and connections, she now has a child.

But as a last resort, she didn't want the couple to be separated.

Yinzhi stood at the window with a cold face, "If I were to say, you have not been feeling well recently, there is no need to bother investigating. I would just drive those people to the other courtyard, and no one will be spared."

This is going to knock down the entire group with one blow.

Rongzhu rarely looked at him seriously, her expression was dazed and her thoughts were wandering.

Since their wedding, they had been quarreling most of the time, and Yinzhi was rarely serious in front of her.

Because those concubines were his, she was ready to bring them to justice.

Yinzhi suddenly did this and she didn't know how to react.

Rongzhu blinked her eyelashes slowly, her mind seemed to be shackled. What should she say now?

While she was in a daze, a big hand touched her cheek.

He put his index finger and middle finger together and tried to pinch the tender flesh on her cheek, but failed. The soft flesh on her cheek suddenly bounced off, and the pinched piece turned red visibly.

The instigator sighed, as if he felt it was a pity, "Your originally chubby face is now so chubby that it's hard to pinch it. You've become thinner because of this poison."

"Thank goodness, I thought it was a normal reaction during pregnancy, and I even went to ask the fourth brother for advice on how to raise a plump and beautiful wife."

"Ha~"

Rongzhu chuckled softly and gently touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue.

How dare you say she is fat!

She was just moved for nothing!

Rongzhu relaxed her body which had just stood up and leaned lazily on the cushion.

After excreting toxins from the body during the day, I feel much better.

"You still want to implicate others, but the one-size-fits-all approach won't work. Aren't you afraid that your parents will file a petition to impeach you?"

Yinzhi also thought of something and realized that it was simply unrealistic to do so.

He leaned over and held her in his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder. He felt the bones on Rongzhu's body were a little uncomfortable, and he had a more realistic sense of her thinness.

"Then I will investigate this matter. You just need to take care of your health and get in better shape."

Rongzhu turned her head to look at him, spread her five fingers and placed them on his shiny forehead, stroking it twice like petting a dog.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, "No need, I was the one who was poisoned. If I don't take revenge myself, I will lose my appetite and sleep."

"Then I'll send you a few people to command you."

She didn't say anything, which meant she agreed.

On the second day after the letter was sent, a reply came from Dong E's mansion, along with several servants and a doctor.

Including the ones sent by Yinzhi, there were more than ten in total.

We are all family and can be trusted.

Her father was a bohemian man with countless concubines in his house.

When there are so many people, intrigue and conspiracy are inevitable.

Dong E Rongzhu grew up in such an environment, so naturally he is not a vegetarian.

As soon as the manpower arrived, she began to investigate the matter.

Three days later, Xiyu received a message from Rongzhu, saying that the person who poisoned the woman had been found, and it was one of Yinzhi's concubines who was also pregnant.

She was a Han woman of humble origins, and was brought back by Yinzhi when he was traveling.

Her father was once a famous doctor, so she naturally knew a lot from what she had heard since she was a child.

Because she usually behaved in a low-key and shy manner, Rongzhu did not suspect her at first and did not find out about her.

It was Doctor Zhang who gave away some clues, allowing people to trace the case back to her.

Xi Yu sighed endlessly, it is true that you cannot judge a person by his appearance.
