When Nanny Geng thought about what happened back then, she couldn't help but feel angry.

But fortunately, the old vicious woman finally died a few days ago, and she died in such pain. It was such a relief!

Su Qianqian asked Zhishu and Zhiqi to put Dabao and Xiaobao in the crib, and then she put Erbao between them.

Watching the three babies punching and kicking each other, Su Qianqian found it funny and couldn't help but smile happily. She gently stroked Dabao's cheek, her eyes full of maternal love.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a palace maid's voice: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived."

Su Qianqian was delighted, she quickly straightened her clothes and went out to greet them. Chu Junze walked into the bedroom and saw the children's lively and cute appearance, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, why are you here? Are you done with your work?" Su Qianqian asked softly.

"Well, I just finished dealing with state affairs, and Yin Shi told me everything. Don't worry, I have asked someone to check it out." Chu Junze walked to the crib, lowered his head and looked at the children tenderly.

"These little guys are growing up so fast," he said with a smile.

Su Qianqian nodded, "Yes, they change every day. Look, Dabao looks a lot like you, Erbao looks a lot like me, Sanbao's eyes look like you, and his nose and mouth look like me!"

Listening to her words, Chu Junze looked at the appearance of the three of them carefully and found that it was indeed the case: "Well, you still look carefully!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took her into his arms. The two of them stood beside the crib, and a warm atmosphere filled the entire bedroom.

Seeing that the masters had such a good relationship, Nanny Geng and the others felt warm in their hearts.

Although it was still snowing outside, the bedroom was warm as spring. The two people hugged each other and looked at each other with loving eyes.

As if they were dissatisfied that their parents didn't pay attention to them, the three little ones suddenly started crying at the same time.

Hearing the crying, Chu Junze and Su Qianqian quickly separated, looked at each other helplessly, and hurried forward to check.

"What's wrong? My little darlings." Chu Junze asked softly.

Su Qianqian stretched out her fingers and gently teased Xiaobao's cheek, "Are you hungry?"

"Someone, take the little princes down and feed them." Chu Junze ordered.

Soon, Zhishu, Zhihua and Zhiqi carefully carried the three of them out.

The palace was quiet again. Chu Junze took Su Qianqian's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days."

Su Qianqian smiled slightly and leaned on Chu Junze's shoulder, "I don't feel tired, the three of them are so cute and well-behaved, and they can help me take care of them!"

Even though she said that, how could Chu Junze not know her hard work! Especially when his Qianqian faced the children's problems, she would do it herself most of the time.

Chu Junze hugged her tighter, "It's great to have you." He patted her hand gently, "Since I had these three little ones, I feel that time has passed much faster."

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard. You have to deal with court affairs during the day and take care of the children at night." Su Qianqian's eyes were full of heartache.

Chu Junze smiled, "This is my responsibility. Besides, I enjoy it." He lowered his head and kissed Su Qianqian's forehead, "As long as you and the children are safe, it's worth it no matter how hard I work."

The two snuggled together, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

At this moment, a report came from outside the door, breaking this beautiful moment. "Your Majesty, Consort Yu has passed away."

Chu Junze frowned slightly, "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu Zhaoyi's maid came to report that Concubine Yu Zhaoyi has passed away! This old servant has already sent someone to verify it!" Eunuch Xi stood aside and said truthfully.

Chu Junze's face darkened, "Let's go and take a look."

After saying that, he stood up, took Su Qianqian's hand, and strode towards Yu Zhaoyi's bedroom.

When he arrived, he saw Yu Zhaoyi lying quietly on the bed with her eyes closed, as if she was just asleep. Chu Junze walked forward and took a closer look, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart.

The imperial physician at the side said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, after my humble inspection, Concubine Yu died of poisoning."

"Poisoned?" Chu Junze's eyes turned cold. "How could he be poisoned? Check it out for me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guards took the order and left.

Chu Junze looked at Yu Zhaoyi's personal maid, "Has Yu Zhaoyi come into contact with any unusual people or things recently?"

The maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a thud, "Your Majesty, I don't know. I am responsible for your Majesty's daily diet and living, and I didn't notice anything unusual."

Chu Junze frowned, "There must be something fishy about this matter. I will definitely get to the bottom of it."

He turned and left, wondering in his heart who in the harem was so bold as to poison the imperial concubine.

Chu Junze returned to the palace and immediately summoned a group of ministers and imperial doctors to discuss how to investigate the case.

He sat on the dragon throne with a solemn expression, "I will never allow this to happen again. The real culprit must be found as soon as possible."

The ministers offered suggestions one after another. Some suggested investigating the people around Yu Zhaoyi, while others suggested checking the food and water sources in the palace. After thinking for a moment, Chu Junze decided to interrogate Yu Zhaoyi's maid in person.

"Think about it carefully. Did Yu Zhaoyi have any grudges with anyone during her lifetime? Or did she have any unusual behavior?" Chu Junze looked at the maid sharply.

The maid replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I really don't know. Since the miscarriage, the queen has been living in seclusion and has not made any enemies with anyone.

It’s just…it’s just that a few days ago, Your Majesty received a mysterious letter, but I don’t know the specific content.

Chu Junze's mind moved, "Immediately search Yu Zhaoyi's bedroom and look for the letter!"

Soon, the guards found the letter. The words in the letter were obscure and difficult to understand, but Chu Junze, with his keen insight, noticed some clues.

"This letter seems to hide some secrets, and it may be the key to solving the case." He handed the letter to the counselor beside him, "See if you can find any clues from it." Everyone passed the letter around and fell into deep thought.

In fact, Chu Junze already had a suspect in his mind. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the vampires who did it again this time.

After Zhan Ping received the letter, he took it in his hand and smelled it. This smell made him discover the problem: "Your Majesty, I found a special smell on the letter paper!"

Chu Junze smelled it and found that it was just as he said.

"This smell is like the unique blood fragrance of the vampires. It seems that we still have to start the investigation from the vampires."

General Lin echoed, "The vampires have always been secretive, so it's not easy to find out the truth."

Chu Junze's eyes were firm: "No matter what, I will investigate this thoroughly. Tomorrow morning, I will order the capital to be more alert and collect evidence."

All the ministers responded in unison: "We will obey your command!"

At this time, a guard hurried into the hall and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, a body was found outside the palace!"

Chu Junze was shocked: "Bring the body in quickly, I want to check it myself."
