The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

People say Concubine Si is stupid because although her slander of Concubine Hui is vicious, it is completely inappropriate to do so at this time.

She herself is in the black and has not yet been cleared of the charges, but she is accusing others, which only makes her look desperate.

Our Majesty is not a fool, would he be led by her? Even if he is afraid of Concubine Hui, that will be a matter for later.

The reason why Concubine Si was like this at this time was that she felt that she was not dying fast enough.

It's a pity that she has been the empress for many years, but she has no idea about the emperor's temper!

"What's going on with the Imperial Guards? I don't know what you're talking about. It's completely fabricated and you're trying to throw dirty water on me!"

Concubine Si angrily scolded the palace maid and tried to deny it.

The emperor shouted coldly: "Zhang Lin!"

Zhang Lin, the commander of the Tiger Guards, hurriedly stepped forward again to report.

He told the result of following the guard for a whole day and arresting him in the yamen for trial today.

Taking out the transcript of the guard's confession from his sleeve pocket, Zhang Lin was ordered to hand it to Concubine Si.

It was clearly written on it that the guard admitted to having secret meetings with Concubine Si in Qingliang Palace several times, the time and duration of each meeting, and what tasks Concubine Si assigned him.

As the emperor's personal army, the Huben Guards are not only very good at espionage, but also at torture.

No matter how strong your character is, it will be difficult to have any backbone once you are in their cell.

What's more, the guard who had a secret meeting with Concubine Si was not a particularly tough person. He could even be said to be rather cowardly, and the process of his confession was not tortuous.

When Concubine Ke Si saw the confession, she glanced at it briefly and then laughed coldly.

"You can always find a pretext to accuse someone. You've even found someone to frame me. Are even the Tiger Guards colluding with Imperial Concubine Qing and her gang? I don't know this person, and I've never done anything out of line. If you continue to pressure me like this, I have no choice but to die to prove my innocence!"

She tore the confession to pieces in front of the emperor.

"Then you, go and die."

The emperor said expressionlessly.

Concubine Si was stunned for a moment, looking at the emperor, two lines of tears sliding down her cheeks.

"Your Majesty, I have been with you for so many years, yet you refuse to trust me and allow me to be framed time and time again. We are husband and wife, Your Majesty! What is the point of my living?"

She closed her eyes and smiled sadly towards the sky.

He scattered the fragments of the confession in his hand.

Flying and falling, pieces of paper are like snowflakes.

Si Fei rushed out in the snow and hit her forehead against the corner of the table not far away.

There were people in the room, from the emperor to the palace maids, and no one tried to stop it.

They all watched her rush over.

However, when she was about ten feet away and before she could reach him, she suddenly stumbled and fell down.

Half a meter away from the table, Sifei lay on the ground with her eyes closed and fainted.

motionless.

Only a faint breath.

The emperor's face grew gloomier.

Obviously, they thought that Concubine Si was pretending to want to die and pretending to faint to escape.

"Drag her out." His voice was not loud, but he ordered word by word with hidden anger.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute, Concubine Si's expression doesn't seem to be fake."

After receiving Fei Wan's secret eye signal, Concubine Qing immediately spoke out to stop it.

Although, she didn't understand why Fei Wan did this.

She spoke, and Fei Wan followed suit.

"Her expression..." Fei Wan took a half step forward, looked at her carefully, and the more he looked, the more suspicious he became.

The emperor still had patience with Fei Wan, barely suppressing his desire to not see Si Fei's temper again, and asked, "What did Zhao Qing see?"

"I'm not sure, but... she looks a bit like Sister Ying when she had a miscarriage..." Fei Wan reported hesitantly.

The emperor's expression changed slightly.

The confession obtained by the Huben Guards from the imperial guards was that they had had an affair with Concubine Si.

If Concubine Si really...

Whose could it be!

"Pass on the imperial physician."

Concubine Si was carried to a side hall, and the imperial physician on duty that night arrived quickly. After taking her pulse, he determined that Concubine Si was not pretending to faint, but was truly unconscious. However...

She appears to be pregnant.

"What does it seem to mean?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

The imperial physician knelt on the ground in fear, sweat pouring down his forehead as he trembled as he explained that according to the pulse, Concubine Si was pregnant. However, he had just happened to have been reading ancient texts the other day and had come across a folk remedy in a lesser-known medical text that could help women stop their menstrual bleeding, making them appear pregnant. From the pulse to the pregnancy symptoms, everything was consistent with pregnancy, and even the old doctor couldn't diagnose a problem.

"Women who take this prescription will be no different from those who are truly pregnant, with the exception that the Quze and Jiquan acupoints on their arms will bulge, surrounded by faint blue veins, forming the shape of a Sichuan character and a triangle. When I was diagnosing her just now, I suddenly remembered the description of the folk remedy. Out of curiosity, I examined these two acupoints on Concubine Si and found the same results as described in the medical classics. Therefore, I cannot currently confirm whether Concubine Si is truly pregnant or if the drug is causing the problem..."

The imperial physician bowed his head to the ground, apologized for his impulsive examination, and asked the emperor for forgiveness.

Fei Wan was listening and thought to herself that Medical Officer Chu Qingmu had found an honest person to expose the truth!

Well, the words of honest people are more trustworthy.

The unconscious Concubine Si was revived by the imperial physician with an acupuncture needle and returned to the inner hall. Under the emperor's order, she was forced by the palace maid to roll up her sleeves without knowing what was going on.

The imperial physician pointed out the abnormalities of two acupuncture points on her left arm to the emperor.

The blue veins were very light in color, and difficult to see without close inspection. But once you paid close attention, you could confirm that her two acupuncture points were indeed different from those of ordinary people.

Not long after, Doctor Wen was hurriedly summoned into the palace with two medical officers who were skilled in obstetrics and gynecology.

Sifei was diagnosed again.

The first imperial physician brought the medical classics he had recently studied. After reading them, Imperial Physician Wen and others were amazed. After some discussion, they all concluded that the medical classics were correct and that abnormalities would indeed occur in two acupoints after taking the folk remedy.

The maid in charge of Qingliang Palace remembered something: "Empress Sifei sent people to the Imperial Pharmacy to fetch several medicines in batches. They were all used in folk remedies. She said they were to be soaked in water and drunk, but I have never seen her soak those medicines in water and drink them. I wonder if they were secretly used to make folk remedies."

The drug collection records of the Imperial Pharmacy were retrieved.

Sure enough, Concubine Si ordered someone to get some common medicinal herbs from the folk remedy.

Two of the uncommon ingredients were mentioned in the guard's confession.

The emperor had seen the confession in advance and was puzzled as to why she asked people to go outside the palace to find the two medicines. But now, everything matched.

"Evil woman, what else do you have to say!"

The imperial doctors left, and the emperor looked at Concubine Si as if she were dead.

Concubine Si sat dejectedly on the ground, looking lost.

Finally I didn't have the energy to argue anymore.

She never imagined that the secret recipe she obtained by bribing the head maid of Ciyu Palace could be discovered by the imperial physician.

God's will.

God wants her to die.

She sighed softly, moved her eyes slightly, and smiled at the emperor.

"I'm just unlucky. Otherwise, how could the pregnancy be discovered right after it was discovered? There's actually something wrong with the acupuncture points, haha, haha... Ying Ronghua was 'faking pregnancy' for so long and no one knew about it!"
