Hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren looked towards Hua Shu, only to see a pool of blood under her.

"Your Majesty, please save my child." Hua Shu said weakly, and then fell into Caiyue's arms, her life or death unknown.

"Quick, go and call all the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau here." Emperor Wu Ren ordered in a deep voice.

The young eunuch at the door responded and ran out of Chuxiu Palace like a flash and went to the Imperial Hospital.

Hua Shu had been helped to the bed by Caiyue and Rendong. Although she knew that this was part of the plan, she knew that if something went wrong...

Thinking of this, Caiyue and Rendong looked at each other and dared not think any further.

Emperor Wu Ren sat aside, his face looking frighteningly ugly, his sleeves clenched into fists. This was his first child in recent years.

Soon, Imperial Physician He and other imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau hurried over. They didn't even have time to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads before they were called by Emperor Wu Ren to examine Hua Shu.

Several imperial doctors had seen the blood on the ground, and except for Imperial Doctor He, they all felt that Hua Shu could no longer save the child.

Doctor He was the first to step forward to feel Hua Shu's pulse, as he was afraid that others would discover that she was faking her pregnancy.

But when he checked her pulse, Doctor He's eyes flashed with surprise. It had only been such a short time, and her false pregnancy pulse had disappeared, and now it was a sign of miscarriage...

Emperor Wu Ren saw that he had been silent for a long time, and asked impatiently: "What's going on, Doctor He, have you diagnosed anything?"

Imperial Doctor He withdrew his hand as he collected his thoughts. He lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the baby in Concubine Rou's belly cannot be saved."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Wu Ren's face darkened: "Is it a miscarriage or something else?"

He suspected that he had just made her kneel for an hour, which caused Hua Shu to have a miscarriage.

Imperial Physician He hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, judging from the pulse of the Empress, it does not seem that she has had a miscarriage. I am not sure why the Empress had a miscarriage. Let's wait for the imperial physicians to examine her pulse before we can say anything."

Emperor Wu Ren's face darkened a little, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked several other imperial doctors to take Hua Shu's pulse.

After the imperial doctors examined Hua Shu's pulse, they discussed for a while.

"Why did Concubine Rou have a miscarriage?" Emperor Wu Ren frowned even more tightly.

After several imperial doctors exchanged glances, Imperial Doctor He looked at Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, judging from Concubine Rou's pulse, it seems that she has taken a drug similar to saffron that can cause miscarriage."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Wu Ren cast a stern gaze on Caiyue and Rendong: "What did Concubine Rou eat today?"

Caiyue and Rendong knelt down with a plop. Caiyue said, "Your Majesty, the Queen has not had a good appetite today. Apart from two bowls of fish soup at dinner, she has not eaten anything."

Fish soup?

Emperor Wu Ren turned his head to look at the food that had not yet been cleared away, and said in a deep voice: "Go and see if there is anything wrong with the fish soup."

Doctor He and another imperial physician stopped Hua Shu's bleeding and asked someone to boil medicine as soon as possible. The other imperial physicians walked to the table to check the food.

For a moment, the room fell into deathly silence. Apart from the occasional discussion from the imperial physician, there was no other sound.

After Doctor He and Hua Shu stopped the bleeding, a younger doctor stepped forward and said, "Doctor He, could you please come and see if there is oleander pollen in this fish soup?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor He stood up and walked to the table. He first smelled the fish soup, then scooped a little with a spoon and tasted it, and his expression instantly turned ugly.

"Oleander pollen is indeed added to this fish soup."

After these words were spoken, the expression of the imperial physician who had just asked the question turned grim.

"This oleander is poisonous all over, and its pollen can cause miscarriage in pregnant women. Normal people have to stay away from it. Concubine Rou even drank two bowls..."

Doctor He did not speak. He seemed to suddenly remember something and hurried to Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, did you drink the fish soup just now?"

Emperor Wu Ren shook his head. When eating fish, he only liked to eat fish eyes and would not eat anything else, let alone drink fish soup.

Doctor He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good."

Emperor Wu Ren did not speak. He looked at the fish soup on the table, then turned his head to look at Hua Shu and asked, "Is the baby in Concubine Rou's belly gone?"

Doctor He glanced at Hua Shu and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou was already weak, and now she has accidentally taken so much oleander pollen that the baby in her belly can no longer be saved."

Emperor Wu Ren was silent for a moment, then said, "Heal her well."

Then, he looked at He Zhong and said in a deep voice, "Go and call everyone who has touched this fish soup to come to me."

He wanted to see who was so bold as to poison him while he was in Chuxiu Palace.

The room fell into deathly silence again. After Caiyue fed Hua Shu a bowl of medicine, He Zhong walked in with a few people.

When they saw Emperor Wu Ren, they immediately knelt down and saluted: "This servant is here to greet the emperor."

Emperor Wu Ren did not say anything, but just glanced at He Zhong.

He Zhong understood, looked at the kneeling people and asked, "Who made the fish soup for Concubine Rou today?"

A maid raised her head and glanced at He Zhong, and said, "This servant made it, but is there anything wrong with the fish soup?"

After taking a look at Emperor Wu Ren, He Zhong directly told him that oleander pollen had been added to the fish soup.

When the maid heard this, she trembled like a sieve: "Your Majesty, even if you give me a thousand courage, I would not dare to tamper with the fish soup, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu Ren did not speak. After He Zhong asked the other people, he got the same answer.

The fish soup was made by the nanny alone. She did everything from killing the fish to making the fish soup by herself.

The person who served the fish soup was Caiyue. She was the only one who carried it from the imperial kitchen to Chuxiu Palace, and it did not pass through the hands of anyone else.

Just when Emperor Wu Ren wanted to ask Caiyue, Hua Shu on the bed opened his eyes.

"Master." Caiyue called out with red eyes.

Hua Shu weakly glanced at the people standing in front of the bed, as if she suddenly sensed something strange. She asked in a trembling voice, "How is my child?"

No one in the room spoke, and Caiyue and Rendong couldn't help sobbing quietly.

Emperor Wu Ren stood up, walked to the bedside, held Hua Shu's hand, and said, "There will be children again."

After hearing this, Hua Shu completely collapsed. She clutched the quilt tightly and cried bitterly.

"my child."

"The child I conceived with great difficulty is gone just like that."

Listening to her heart-wrenching cry, Emperor Wu Ren's heart ached. He coldly ordered He Zhong to take these people away and torture them severely. He didn't believe that he couldn't get anything out of her.

He Zhong responded and took the person out, and soon several screams were heard in the yard.

About half an incense stick of time passed before He Zhong walked in from outside: "Your Majesty, those people said that today, Nanny Zhang went to the imperial kitchen and opened the lid of the fish soup pot."
