The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

The palace has extremely strict control over medicinal materials, and any medicinal materials must be registered with the Imperial Medical Bureau before they can be used.

Not to mention the Yuehua Brocade, which is a tribute and is rarely found anywhere else except in the palace.

The person who was sent to Ningyu Pavilion to check the Yuehua brocade came back first and brought the Yuehua brocade to Yufu Palace, so there was naturally no problem.

After a while, the people who went to the Imperial Hospital for examination came back.

"Your Highness, according to the records of the Imperial Hospital, Ningyu Pavilion has never taken these medicinal herbs."

After they finished speaking, Gu Shijin walked to the center of the hall and knelt down, saying in a strong tone: "Empress Defei, it is obvious that someone has framed me. Please help me find out who is behind this and who is harming the heir to the throne and framing me."

At this time, Concubine Liu also knelt down, holding her belly and said, "My queen, you must make the decision for me."

It is not impossible to investigate this matter. There are only a few places in the harem where Yuehuajin is found. As long as we take out the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and check them with the warehouses of each palace, we can naturally find out.

Defei was obviously not stupid and had thought of this.

"Mingxia, go and tell the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Yes, ma'am."

Deng Yuan, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, came quickly, holding a book in his hand, which recorded which palaces had received Yuehua Brocade.

"Empress Defei, this Yuehuajin has eleven places in total, namely Empress Dowager, Concubine Dowager, Empress Queen..."

Deng Yuan was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by Concubine De.

"Since this involves the Empress, I will wait for the Emperor to come back and report this to him so that he can handle the matter."

This purse was given to Concubine Liu before the news of her pregnancy came out. The Queen was also in the palace at that time, so naturally she could not avoid suspicion.

Since Concubine De said so, no one else had any objections.

"It's getting late now, sisters, please go back." Defei stood up and walked out.

Back at Ningyu Pavilion, Gu Shijin and Xingzhu looked normal, but Xingyue's face was extremely pale.

"My lord, it was so dangerous today. Fortunately, you are smart." Xingyue said fearfully.

Although Xingyue has been in the palace for four years, she has stayed in Ningyu Pavilion for three of them. She has only heard about the dangers in the palace from hearsay. This is her first experience.

"It's okay, go down and rest."

The reason we were able to win today’s game was mainly because the opponent used Yuehuajin, otherwise who knows what would have happened.

The original owner's embroidery skills were indeed very good, but Gu Shijin's were not good. It seemed that she still had to pick up the embroidery skill. It is better to be safe than sorry. Anyway, she had the original owner's memories, so it shouldn't be difficult.

The medicinal herbs were not rare and were not in the Imperial Medical Bureau's archives, but they could be brought in from outside the palace by others.

There is only Yuehua Brocade. Even if there is some outside the palace, it was given by the emperor as a reward. These people cannot sell it for money.

Gu Shijin guessed that the person behind the scenes just gave the idea and did not check it carefully, otherwise why would the fabric used to make the purse be the precious Yuehua brocade.

Yufu Palace Biyun Garden

Concubine Liu was also wondering who wanted to harm her. She had not worn the purse many times because she disliked its poor embroidery. Fortunately, the imperial physician said that if she wore it for a long time, she would most likely have a miscarriage.

In the main hall of Yufu Palace, Concubine Rong called out all the palace maids and eunuchs, leaving only Mingchun and Mingxia.

Ming Xia bent down and whispered, "My Lady, then...are the spices from Biyun Garden still to be removed?"

"Withdraw, and wait until this matter is over."

"Yes, ma'am."

"However," Rong Fei took a sip of tea and said, "This time, I did help the person behind the scenes a lot with Lian Xin's matter."

If she hadn't sent Lianxin to the Ministry of Punishment, it wouldn't have been so easy for the people behind the scenes to take action.

"Since it has nothing to do with us, there is no need to worry about it anymore."

At first, Concubine Rong thought it was a problem with the spices, but it turned out to be a problem with the purse.

However, Biyunyuan has been using the spices for more than a month, so I think the problem has been resolved.

"Xingzhu, do you think this incident was directed and acted out by Concubine Liu herself?" Gu Shijin asked.

"My lady, I don't think so."

Who is it? Concubine Lan, Concubine Rong, Concubine De, Li Xiuyuan, or even the Queen...

Everyone in this harem is a possibility.

"Xingzhu, go prepare some fabric and embroidery patterns for me."

"Yes, my lord."

He did what he said and started practicing after dinner.

Perhaps the original owner's physical memory was still there. Except for the first few shots where he was not very skilled, Gu Shijin gradually mastered the key points.

The pattern of a chrysanthemum gradually took shape.

Xingzhu exclaimed: "The young lady's embroidery is really good."

Gu Shijin smiled. She really didn't dare to take credit for it. It was mainly due to the original owner's skills and memory. The original owner had learned embroidery since she was a child, as well as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dance.

Gu Yang herself was the daughter of a merchant, but she devoted herself to the upbringing of her children.

Her second sister is best at chess and calligraphy, while Gu Shijin is best at dancing and playing the piano.

While lying in bed and falling asleep, Gu Shijin suddenly thought of a point. There was a very important time point in today's purse incident.

When Concubine Liu got the purse, she had not yet discovered that she was pregnant, which is why she wore it later.

However, the person who gave the purse to Concubine Liu obviously knew that Concubine Liu was pregnant a long time ago.

Then the person behind this either has some knowledge of medicine or has received guidance from someone else.

A person's face appeared in Gu Shijin's mind.

The harem is indeed not a place for people to stay. It has been less than a month since she was first favored, and things have happened one after another, and it seems that nothing has been settled in this month.

I ate too much and had nothing to do during the day.

On summer nights, cicadas chirp incessantly, the stars in the sky are bright, and the moonlight softly shines on the high and thick walls of the palace, as if covering this deep palace with a layer of white silver gauze.

In a simple and quaint room, a woman sat by the window with her chin propped up, looking at the stars in the sky through the window, her thoughts drifting away involuntarily.

It was not until her personal maid walked into the room and called her twice that she came to her senses.

"My Lord, it's time to rest."

The woman nodded, stood up and walked towards the bed in the room.

She stopped after taking two steps and asked, "How is the matter at Yufu Palace going?"

She did not go to Yufu Palace today, but such a big incident happened in Yufu Palace that no one in the harem didn't know about it.

The palace maid stepped forward and recounted in detail what had happened in Yufu Palace that day, as if she were there at the scene.

The woman nodded and said something irrelevant: "Don't worry, we don't have Yuehuajin in the palace."

It's just a pity that Concubine Liu didn't lose her baby. But...

This medicine is extremely effective. Once you wear it, the baby in your belly will not be healthy.

Just look at the eldest prince and the second prince.

The woman smiled, with loneliness and longing in her eyes.

Does she really have a chance to get out of this cage?

"My lady, it's time to take your medicine." The palace maid held a black pill in her hand.

The woman took it and put it into her mouth without even looking at it.
