Jiang Wanyue held onto the table, her expression slightly changing.

"That is to say, even though it is soaked in safflower water, it may not be harmful... This blood swallow is probably not coming for me. This method is not safe enough."

The blood swallow was given to her and Guan Rou. If the amount of safflower in it was too much, both of them would be in trouble.

It would be fine if one pregnant woman had problems, but if both of them had problems, the government would definitely conduct a thorough investigation, and what they both ate at the same time would inevitably be revealed.

If they wanted to poison someone secretly for a long time, wouldn't it be easier to start with Bai Yan? Bai Yan used many people and had many sources, so it was difficult to track them down.

There are few blood swallows and they are too conspicuous.

Xiuchun looked puzzled: "If you are not coming for the young lady? Then who are you coming for?"

Jiang Wanyue held onto the table and slowly sat down.

"I'm afraid something went wrong in the palace. Someone is using inferior goods as fakes to pass off these expensive supplements for personal gain."

This blood swallow was a reward from the palace.

The harem is now managed by the Imperial Concubine, who is the emperor's cousin and has given birth to the second prince. However, the second prince was born with a defect and has no chance of becoming the emperor. The Imperial Concubine treats other princes equally and has no deep hatred for Prince Jing, so she would not do such a thing as drugging the women in Prince Jing's mansion.

Jiang Wanyue tapped the table with her fingers.

I'm afraid that someone took advantage of the imperial concubine's hand and reached into Prince Jing's Mansion.

She frowned.

The first person she thought of who would take action against Prince Jing's Mansion was Prince Qi.

Among them, the one most likely to do so is Prince Qi’s mother, Concubine De.

However, Concubine De has always had a very good reputation. Everyone who sees her says that she is a kind-faced Bodhisattva. She is generous and kind to both superiors and subordinates, and she never interferes in the affairs of the previous dynasty.

Jiang Wanyue thought again, it might be other concubines.

Perhaps the original purpose was not to target Prince Jing's Mansion, but to target the Imperial Concubine. After all, if something went wrong, the Imperial Concubine who was in charge of the harem would be the first to bear the brunt.

The more Jiang Wanyue thought about it, the more she felt that everyone in the palace was suspicious.

The main reason was that she didn't understand the situation in the palace, and there was too little information to make a judgment.

She sighed.

This is the disadvantage of being a concubine, you can’t get in touch with the powerful circle outside the mansion.

If she were a princess, there would be many options.

Jiang Wanyue immediately thought of several ways to test the waters.

But with Lu Qingshuang's personality, she would definitely not take the risk.

For the sake of her two concubines and two unborn children, it was completely unnecessary for Lu Qingshuang to offend the ladies in the palace.

No matter what, it doesn't endanger her, so she won't care.

Even if I tell Prince Jing, it will be useless.

Because no one was hurt!

Even if we sue, there must be a victim!

While having breakfast, Jiang Wanyue was thinking about how to make the best use of this matter.

When she found out that Guan Rou asked someone to buy blood swallows from outside the mansion, she immediately came up with a plan.

Jiang Wanyue still felt a little reluctant to use Cui Yan or Xiao Yin'er, but she had no psychological burden at all to use Guan Rou.

After that, it was deployed in secret.

First, let the maids build a good relationship with the kitchen, and at the same time persuade Cui Yan to eat blood swallows after a few days.

Then he asked the maids in the mansion to deliberately chat in front of the maids in Liuyinyuan, arousing the maids' competitive spirit and desire to compare.

Everything was ready, and on the day of the Qixi Festival, just as Jiang Wanyue had expected, the maid from Liuyinyuan snatched Xiao Yiner's blood swallow.

Jiang Wanyue also took the opportunity to make Prince Jing feel dissatisfied with the princess.

There was only one thing Jiang Wanyue didn't calculate for sure.

After eating the blood swallows, Guan Rou did not have an attack immediately.

Although it was a bit unexpected, Jiang Wanyue was not anxious, but waited patiently for two days.

Two nights later, after everyone had gone to bed, a maid from Liuyin Courtyard suddenly ran to the main courtyard crying and asked to see the princess.

"My dear Princess, something bad has happened! Something has happened to our aunt!"

The maid's crying woke up Lu Qingshuang and also woke up other people in the backyard.

Lu Qingshuang immediately asked someone to take a pair of cards to the front yard to invite Doctor Tan. After changing her clothes, she also rushed over.

Doctor Tan arrived very quickly.

The place where he lived was originally close to the second gate, so it was convenient for him to travel back and forth.

After arriving at Liuyin Courtyard, Imperial Doctor Tan felt the patient's pulse and his face changed drastically, and he quickly reported.

"Princess, Aunt Guan seems to be having a miscarriage."

Lu Qingshuang frowned: "Why did the tire slip suddenly?"

After asking this question, she didn't ask Doctor Tan to answer, and continued.

"Save the life first and do your best to save the fetus."

Doctor Tan looked embarrassed: "If you want to treat him, you have to give him acupuncture, and you need to take off your clothes..."

He didn't finish the rest of his words, but Lu Qingshuang understood what he meant.

Doctor Tan was afraid that the place for acupuncture would be awkward, so he did not dare to make a decision rashly.

Doctor Tan didn't dare to look up, and bent his body even lower: "Let's report this to the prince and let him decide!"

Lu Qingshuang pursed her lips.

"Now is a matter of life and death, saving lives is the most important thing! If I run to the front yard again, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. Doctor Tan, just give me acupuncture."

What Lu Qingshuang thought was that the child must be saved.

She had just displeased Prince Jing two days ago. If Guan Rou lost her baby, it would mean that she, as the princess, had failed to do her job properly, and the prince would be even more dissatisfied.

She was the one who took care of Guan Rou's baby from the very beginning.

As for whether Guan Rou would be disliked by Prince Jing after having her body examined by the imperial physician... this was not within Lu Qingshuang's consideration.

Doctor Tan hunched over and went into the inner room, called the maids for help, and tried his best to treat the patient.

He didn't leave until dawn.

"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission. The bleeding has stopped and the fetus is temporarily stable."

Doctor Tan was soaked in sweat and he kept wiping the sweat off his face.

Lu Qingshuang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor."

She asked two maids to send the imperial physician back.

Doctor Tan returned to the front yard and without taking a rest, he went to report the matter to Prince Jing first.

Doctor Tan was thinking that he had saved Aunt Guan's baby, so wasn't that a merit? Of course he had to tell Prince Jing about it.

After listening to this, Prince Jing went straight to the most crucial issue.

"Hasn't Guan's pregnancy been stable? Why is there a sudden sign of miscarriage?"

Doctor Tan said quickly.

"I don't know either. I checked Aunt Guan's pulse three days ago and she was fine then." Of course he tried his best to clear himself from the situation. "Maybe Aunt Guan ate something by mistake these days."

Prince Jing thought for a moment, then stood up and called Rong An and the others to go to Liuyin Courtyard.

Although he didn't like Guan Rou very much, she was pregnant after all. He would usually come over to chat with her every few days, or have a meal with her, but he would not stay overnight.

This is the first time that Guan Rou has received so much attention since she entered the mansion.

Even though she was cautious enough, her heart was inevitably grown.

Therefore, when Prince Jing came over, Guan Rou burst into tears and choked with grievance.

"Your Majesty, someone must be trying to harm me... Please help me, Your Majesty!"
