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

Her limbs felt as cold as if being pricked by needles, and her internal organs were in unbearable pain. Even in a coma, Xiyu was not feeling well.

Xiyu lay on the bed, clutching the quilt tightly with her ten fingers, squeezing until her knuckles turned white.

My internal organs felt as if they were being beaten by thousands of people, and I felt waves of dull pain.

Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and neck, soaking her clothes and leaving her with nothing more than a low moan in discomfort.

Yinzhen frowned slightly, and at this moment he actually hated himself for having a pair of sharp ears. Listening to the painful moans, his heart also tightened.

"Why is she so upset?"

Zhao Kuangsheng leaned forward and replied, "Fujin's meridians are already damaged, and the effect of the cold needle grass will aggravate the situation."

"As the saying goes, pain means blockage, and pain means blockage. Cold and stasis in the body are such symptoms, and acupuncture can relieve them."

Yinzhen's face was grim as he urged, "Why don't you hurry up? Do you want me to treat you?"

"Yes."

Zhao Kuangsheng asked Chunshi to put Xiyu's clothes on and turn her over.

He used thin silver needles to prick several important acupuncture points, and then replaced them with short needles to prick other locations.

After a while, Xiyu's breathing gradually stabilized, and her body relaxed and she stopped crying out in pain, but she was still pricked like a hedgehog.

Yinzhen sat on the bedside holding Xiyu's hands to prevent her from unconsciously moving around and rubbing off the silver needles on her body. He was also afraid that she would hurt herself.

A quarter of an hour passed in a flash, and Zhao Kuangsheng skillfully pulled out the silver needles from Xiyu's body one by one.

As the last silver needle left the acupuncture point, Xiyu's originally tense body gradually relaxed and his breathing became steady and even.

"Master, Eunuch Liang is here."

Liang Jiugong was the chief eunuch beside the Emperor. Presumably, the Emperor knew what happened in the East Three Houses and sent someone to check out the situation.

"Please ask someone to go to the study."

Yinzhen raised his hand to tuck the quilt, strode out of Danruoju and returned to the study in the front yard. Liang Jiugong was waiting inside the house.

"Eunuch Liang."

"Fourth Master."

Liang Jiugong bowed to him, and Yinzhen raised his hand to support him.

"When the maids from the East Third House called the imperial physician, there was a lot of noise. His Majesty heard about the Fourth Lady's situation and wanted to come and see her but couldn't spare the time, so he asked me to come and see her."

He held Fu Chen in his arms, with a worried look on his face, "If there is anything you need, just ask, His Majesty said."

"Thank you, Father Huang, for your concern."

Yinzhen bowed in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, and then continued, "Fujin was poisoned and is now in a coma. I'm afraid she can't see the eunuch. If she gets better later, I will send someone to tell her."

"Even so, I won't bother you anymore."

Liang Jiugong put down the precious medicinal materials he brought and went back to the Qianqing Palace to report.

"I originally thought that the Fourth Prince's wife was weak, but I didn't expect that someone had poisoned her. Who is so bold as to put something in the food of the Prince's wife?"

Kangxi was furious when he heard this. This was the wife he had found for Yinzhen with great difficulty, and there was no way anything could go wrong just a few days after the wedding.

"Tell someone to take good care of it. If anything unexpected happens, report back to me."

"Yes."

After hearing the instructions, Liang Jiugong left the hall and arranged for manpower.

In the East Third House, Gao Wuyong listened to Xia Ying's words and found the little palace maid Qi Qiao who had been knocked over on the road. He also found a bag of silver under her pillow, which was filled with an exquisitely embroidered purse.

Gao Wuyong picked up the purse and examined it carefully, but could not see anything strange. He then passed it to other people in the room to see.

"Is this the work of Tanglup?"

Everyone shook their heads and said, "Eunuch Gao, Qi Qiao can't embroider."

Gao Wuyong had a plan in mind, and immediately asked people to check one by one. They found the remaining cold needle grass powder and learned that the purse belonged to Ruyi, a palace maid beside Song Gege.

He ordered his men to arrest Qi Qiao and put him in custody.

After all, she is young, and after just some intimidation and threats, the little girl confessed everything.

Returning to the study in the front yard, he explained the results of his investigation to the Fourth Master.

"Is it the Song family?"

Yinzhen's face was stern and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

He just married a concubine, but the disgusting methods used in the palace also appeared in the East Three Houses.

"At present, we have only confirmed that it was Ruyi who did it. As for whether Song Gege was involved, we still need to interrogate Ruyi."

Gao Wuyong stuffed the evidence into his sleeve and said expressionlessly.

"Bring them here. I want to see what they say."

Yinzhen said in a cold voice.

He sat behind the desk, his jaw clenched and his eyes as deep as a bottomless pool.

Inside Shenghe Residence, Song was sitting there anxiously waiting for news. When she saw Ruyi coming in with panicked steps, she quickly stood up and asked:

"How about it?"

"I heard that Dan Ruoju hastily called the imperial physician, so it must have been successful."

When Song heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up, unable to suppress it.

That bitch Ulanara refused to help her, and now such a shameful thing has happened, let's see if she can still save her face.

However, isn't the effect of the medicine taking effect too quickly?

Ruyi couldn't help but feel weak in her heart. She trembled and whispered, "Princess, if the Fourth Master finds out about this..."

Song's eyes were fierce and she glared at her with cruelty in them.

"What are you afraid of? It's not something that can kill people. It's just a little laxative. It won't kill her."

She stood up and walked around Ruyi, her eyes constantly lingering around her. "But we should be prepared for the worst. If the truth comes out, you will bear the blame alone. I can still help you take good care of your younger siblings and your parents."

"But if you dare to betray me..."

Song suddenly stopped talking and slowly walked to stand in front of Ruyi.

Then she stretched out her fingers and gently hooked Ruyi's chin, forcing the other person to raise his head and look at her.

Song's eyes were filled with undisguised contempt and disdain. Her carefully maintained nails scratched Ruyi's face, leaving a red mark, and her tone was threatening.

"It's just a laxative anyway. The fourth master can at most lock me up for a while or fine me some monthly salary. You may not be so lucky. You have to think carefully."

"This servant knows very well that she will never betray the princess."

Ruyi's pupils shrank, and she knelt on the ground, shivering and kowtowing to show her loyalty, her voice trembling.

"Get up."

Song raised the corner of her mouth proudly, sat down in front of the dressing table and called someone up.

"It's just a little laxative. I guess they just think it's something they ate that's bad. They won't make a big deal out of it."

She lowered her head and looked at the exquisite hairpins in front of her. She couldn't help but reach out to touch them, feeling the delicate and round pearls and the exquisite carving techniques on them.

From time to time, she would pick up a gorgeous hairpin and fiddle with it between her temples. Looking at her face in the mirror which had become noble with the pearl hairpin, Song felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in her heart.

It was as if Yinzhen had already held her in the palm of his hand and placed all his love on her.

Song saw the pink figure still kneeling behind her through the mirror and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Instead of thinking about something else, you might as well think about how I can seduce the Fourth Master back after that sickly, smelly girl showed up in front of him tonight and fell out of favor."
