There was no conversation along the way, and they soon arrived outside the Chuxiu Palace. Looking at the closed palace gate, Emperor Wu Ren with a gloomy face asked He Zhong to go up and knock on the door.

Soon, the palace gate was opened from the inside. Xiao Shengzi called out that the people who came were Emperor Wu Ren and the Crown Prince, and he knelt down quickly to pay his respects.

"Your servant kowtows to His Majesty."

Emperor Wu Ren did not look at him, but walked past him and went straight inside. As soon as he reached the courtyard, he heard crying coming from the house.

He frowned slightly and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw Hua Shu leaning on the bed, holding a piece of baby clothes in her hand and crying softly.

Caiyue and Rendong knelt in front of the bed and whispered comfort to him, and from time to time, the sound of Xiaoshi's crying could be heard.

Perhaps because his back was facing away from them, or perhaps because he was too sad, none of the master and his servants noticed that there were a few more people in the room.

Emperor Wu Ren winked at He Zhong, who understood and said with a light cough, "Empress Roupin, the Emperor is here to see you."

Hearing this, Hua Shu looked up at Emperor Wu Ren. At this moment, she was crying with tears in her eyes, looking very touching.

Caiyue and Rendong stepped forward and bowed to Emperor Wu Ren. Hua Shu reached out to lift the quilt and wanted to get out of bed to bow.

Seeing her tearful appearance and thinking of her recent miscarriage, Emperor Wu Ren said, "Since you are not feeling well, just lie down."

Hua Shu thanked him softly, but couldn't help shedding tears. At the same time, she noticed the Crown Prince and Imperial Physician Sun behind him, as well as a strange face she had never seen before.

This man's appearance is not inferior to Chu Hengzhi and the prince, but he is much more delicate than them. Judging from his dress, he does not look like an imperial physician or a guard, but more like... a magician.

Thinking of this, a name suddenly popped up in Hua Shu's mind: Qin Huai, the alchemist beside the emperor.

Since ancient times, emperors have wanted to live forever, and Emperor Wu Ren is no exception. Hua Shu knew in her previous life that Emperor Wu Ren sent people to find an extraordinary alchemist, but she had never seen him until her death.

What is the emperor's intention in bringing him here suddenly? Could it be that he wants to tell his fortune?

Before she could figure it out, Emperor Wu Ren walked over to the bed and sat down, holding her hand and saying, "There will be another baby."

Hua Shu's tears fell down. She lowered her brows and frowned slightly. Why did he suddenly smell like medicine? She remembered that there was no smell before.

Emperor Wu Ren did not give her a chance to speak. He looked at Doctor Sun and Qin Huai and said, "Check carefully to see if there is anything else in Concubine Rou's room that has been drugged."

Qin Huai and Doctor Sun responded and went to check the room separately. Hua Shu initially thought that Emperor Wu Ren had returned and found that he had not ordered anyone to check the room carefully, so she was a little worried and brought people to check.

But she quickly denied this idea. If that was the case, he could just ask He Zhong to bring people over. There was no need for him to come in person.

Just when Hua Shu was puzzled, she suddenly saw the prince looking at Qin Huai nervously, and she suddenly understood the purpose of the emperor's visit.

Hua Shu glanced at Qin Huai, who even spared the soil in the flowerpots in her room, and a sneer flashed in her eyes.

It turned out that the prince wanted to turn back and catch her off guard, but he was afraid that he would be disappointed.

She had disposed of the problematic things in the room after they left. She even asked Chu Hengzhi to take the silver needle used to drug Emperor Wu Ren and throw it away.

As for the medicines and silver needles she usually used, she had asked Doctor He to take them to the Imperial Hospital when she was preparing this plan.

Seeing that the prince's face was becoming increasingly ugly, a sneer flashed across Hua Shu's eyes, but soon she couldn't help but frowned.

She had not smelled medicine on Emperor Wu Ren before, but now there was a smell of medicine on him, which was very unusual.

Hua Shu hesitated for a moment, then pretended to be very sad and threw herself into Wu Rendi's arms.

Wu Rendi reached out and patted her back gently. She grabbed Wu Rendi's wrist and cried uncontrollably. While he was comforting herself, she secretly felt his pulse.

Hearing the noise here, the prince turned his head to take a look, and his hands in his sleeves unconsciously tightened a little.

He believed that Xue Qiong would not lie to him, but he couldn't understand why Qin Huai and Doctor Sun had not found anything wrong after almost checking the entire room.

Hua Shu had already found out Emperor Wu Ren's pulse at this time. She let go of his hand and leaned into his arms and cried softly, but her eyes were frighteningly cold.

The emperor's pulse was very disordered, partly because she had given him a mind-disturbing drug before, but partly because of the smell of medicine on his body.

Although the medicine he had was not as strong as the one she had before, it was also distracting.

She raised her head and glanced at the prince. It seemed that there was a person with superb medical skills by his side.

No, that's not right. He already had a person with superb medical skills by his side, and that was Concubine Yi.

Although she was originally ordered to be executed by the emperor, Hua Shu was certain that the prince must have rescued her in secret.

If the prince had not taken her out of the palace, then she would still be in the palace. With her medical skills, she should be able to tell that Emperor Wu Ren had been given a mind-disturbing drug.

Although the group of imperial doctors might have seen it just now, they would never bring it up in that situation. After all, no one wants to die.

Hua Shu thought about it carefully. When the prince came today, he was only accompanied by a personal guard, and there was no third person.

And she knew all the people in her room, they couldn't possibly know medicine.

Wait, there’s one person she doesn’t know, and that’s Yun Cairen, the newly appointed lady by the Emperor.

Suddenly, something flashed through Hua Shu's mind, so fast that she couldn't catch it.

Just as she was thinking about it, Qin Huai and Imperial Doctor Sun had finished their examination. They stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual in Concubine Rou's room."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren let go of Hua Shu and looked at Qin Huai. Qin Huai gently shook his head at him.

He always talked only to Emperor Wu Ren. He would not speak when there were other people around. Emperor Wu Ren had long been accustomed to it.

Seeing that he also said that there was nothing wrong with the things in the room, he thought that there was something wrong with the ginseng duck, because Doctor He had said that the dish was also drugged.

If a woman takes that medicine, she will have a miscarriage, and if a normal person takes it, he will go crazy. Now that I think about it, there is no difference between confusing a person's mind and going crazy.

Thinking that the medicine was given by the Queen, Emperor Wu Ren's face turned a little uglier, and his eyes turned cold when he looked at the Crown Prince.

"It's late, you should leave the palace."

The prince knew that his plan to remedy the situation had failed, so he didn't say much. He just bowed to Emperor Wu Ren and walked out.

When he turned around, he glanced at Hua Shu, and his eyes seemed to be filled with poison.

Hua Shu ignored him. After he left, she looked up at Emperor Wu Ren with tears in her eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, did you bring people back to check again because you suspect that I staged what happened today?"

Emperor Wu Ren looked at her without saying anything. Seeing this, Hua Shu's tears fell even harder. She let go of Emperor Wu Ren and said something in a hoarse voice.
