An Zixin's pupils shrank slightly, and he loosened his grip on the queen's clothes, his white fingertips showing that he was still a little unwilling.

I thought that she had the support of her aunt the Queen, and that she would definitely see Xie Mishuang being taught a lesson today, but I didn't expect the situation to be reversed now. What went wrong?

What kind of magic did Xie Mishuang use to make the prince and the queen aunt so partial to her?

But before she could figure it out, she was picked up by two palace maids and dragged out of Fengyi Palace.

"Let me go! I can walk by myself!" An Zixin struggled, but to no avail.

She was unwilling to accept it. She was unwilling to be kicked out of the Prince's Mansion like this!

An Zixin was still led out of the palace by two palace maids. Not long after she walked onto the street, she felt a chill on her back.

"Who?!" She turned around suddenly, but there was no one.

Just as she was wondering, a cold hand suddenly grabbed her neck and pushed her to the ground.

"Um... um..." An Zixin widened her eyes in horror, but could not make any sound.

"Ah - murder!" When the people on the street saw this scene, they screamed and ran away in all directions.

An Zixin gradually lost consciousness in fear and despair...

Inside the palace, the Queen looked at Xie Mishuang's flat belly and asked with concern, "Mishuang, I heard that you and Jing'er are in a good relationship. Why haven't you done anything yet? Are you feeling unwell?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Mishuang thought it was time for Xie Chuxue to suffer the consequences of her actions.

Xie Mi's eyes reddened, and he pretended to be aggrieved and said, "This son is also very distressed. I don't know why, but there is no movement. How about... Mother, please help this son to invite an imperial physician to come and take a look."

Seeing her like this, the Queen felt even more certain and quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll send for the imperial physician right away. There's an imperial physician named Liu in the palace who's an expert in gynecology, highly skilled and experienced. You and Jing'er have been married for some time now, so maybe he can actually diagnose a pregnancy."

Xie Mishuang smiled shyly and lowered her head.

Soon, Doctor Liu was invited over.

"Your humble servant pays his respects to Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty the Crown Princess." Imperial Physician Liu bowed respectfully.

"Please come up, Imperial Doctor Liu, and take a look at the Crown Princess. Why is there no movement in her stomach?" the Queen said impatiently.

"Yes, your Majesty." Doctor Liu responded, walked forward and began to take Xie Mishuang's pulse.

After a moment, Doctor Liu frowned slightly.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong with the Crown Princess's health?" the Queen asked nervously.

Imperial Physician Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is in good health, but..."

"Just what? Doctor Liu, please feel free to tell me." Xie Mishuang asked anxiously.

"However, I have found that Your Majesty seems to have taken some medicine that makes it difficult for her to get pregnant recently." Doctor Liu said with a stiff face.

"What?!" The Queen's face darkened instantly when she heard this. "Someone actually dared to drug the Crown Princess. How audacious!"

Xie Mishuang's face turned pale. He looked at the Queen in feigned panic and said in a trembling voice, "Mother, this...what should I do? Is someone deliberately trying to harm me?"

"How can this be!" the queen said angrily.

"Her Majesty the Crown Princess, please take a look. Do you still remember this herb?" Doctor Liu carefully took out an exquisitely embroidered brocade bag from the medicine box. After opening it, a familiar fragrance filled the air.

Xie Mishuang pretended to be puzzled and sniffed it, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she was deep in thought. After a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, her face turned pale and she exclaimed, "This...isn't this the medicine that I smelled in the Xie Mansion on the day I returned home?"

"Oh? Is that true?" The Queen narrowed her eyes and cast a sharp glance at Xie Mishuang. "Shuang'er, are you sure you smelled this fragrance in the Xie Mansion?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I am sure." Xie Mishuang nodded affirmatively, but glanced at Doctor Liu from the corner of her eye. Seeing him nod slightly, she felt more confident.

"Hmph! Shuang'er, Shen is not your biological mother. She is very likely jealous of you marrying the prince, and her daughter married the fifth prince and has ill intentions towards you. You must be on guard." The queen said in a cold tone.

"Your Majesty, your son has taught me this, and I will remember it." Xie Mishuang lowered his eyebrows and looked submissive, as if he was being taught, but he was sneering in his heart.

"Come here! Ask Shen to come into the palace!" The queen gave an order and the palace maid immediately took the order and left.

After about a cup of tea, Shen came in hurriedly. She lowered her head, not daring to glance around, and knelt down to kowtow. "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Empress. May the Empress live a thousand years."

"Ms. Shen, do you admit your guilt?!" The queen did not call out, but asked coldly.

When Shen heard this, she was stunned. She had no idea what was going on, let alone why the queen would say such a thing.

"Empress, I...I don't know. Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty." Shen said in a trembling voice, her heart filled with fear and anxiety.

"Raise your head!" the queen shouted sternly.

Shen quickly raised her head and looked at Xie Mishuang who was sitting next to the queen, and her heart became even more flustered.

"Did you put any medicine in Shuang'er's food on the day she returned home? For example... something to prevent pregnancy?" The Queen's gaze was like a knife, shooting straight at Shen. "If you tell the truth, I might consider a lighter punishment. If you dare to lie, I will have my people investigate personally. The consequences will not be pleasant!"

Shen's face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead.

She recalled the day she returned home, when Xie Chuxue secretly found her, stuffed a small paper bag into her hand, and told her to find a way to make Xie Mishuang eat it no matter what, and vowed that as long as she could prevent this bitch from getting pregnant, and the prince died, Xie Mishuang would be doomed.

I didn't expect this bitch to find out so quickly and come to the Queen to complain. What a despicable bastard who relies on the power of others!

Shen cursed inwardly, but didn't dare show it on her face. She just knelt on the ground trembling with fear, her body shaking like a sieve.

"Speak!" the queen shouted coldly, her sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through Shen.

Shen kowtowed profusely, begging for mercy in a tearful voice, "It was only because of my momentary confusion and the devil's will that I did such a foolish thing. I beg the Empress to have mercy on me!"

"I knew it was you who did it!" The Queen's eyes widened, her anger almost bursting out. "Since that's the case, I'll also give Princess Liu a cup of medicine to prevent pregnancy. Madam Shen shouldn't mind, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shen's whole body trembled violently, and her face instantly turned as pale as paper.

How could she dare to object? The Queen was well-known in the capital for her methods when she was young. She was dark, cruel and merciless!

It just makes it difficult for Xueer to get pregnant in a short period of time. It doesn't mean she will never be able to have children. It's better than losing her life!
