Yinzhen, who had just learned that he was going to be a father again, was happy for a short while. As soon as he entered the palace, he was poured a bucket of cold water.

Defei knew her son very well, a man as cunning as a needle tip. Just a few words from her made Yinzhen completely break down. He was afraid that the throne he had coveted for a long time would be snatched away by Nian Gengyao because of the baby in Nian Shilan's belly. He even staggered when he left.

As a future contender for the throne, he has his own unique qualities, such as being extremely shameless.

It only took one night for his mentality to change from not being able to bear to kill his son to having to do this for the sake of the great cause and the country. In the future, he will definitely show more love and care to Shilan to compensate her.

After adjusting his mindset, Yinzhen began to think about who to blame for this unscrupulous act.

Qi Jia Shi is not suitable, after all, she was praised by the emperor himself, and it is also unclear whether her donkey brain can understand the hint.

Yixiu? That wouldn't work either. If that really happened in the future... then her identity must not be tarnished. She absolutely couldn't bear the reputation of harming future generations.

Li is extremely stupid, Geng is timid, Gan and Miao are even worse. A figure emerged in Yinzhen's mind.

At the same time, in Rongmi Courtyard, Yixiu opened her red lips and slowly uttered a name:

"Feng Ruozhao."

Living in Nian Shilanyuan and being treated harshly, he has always held a grudge, so he took the opportunity to take revenge. What a logical plot.

But Yixiu was not satisfied with the script. She still remembered the person who lived in Yaoxiangyuan and whom she hated to the core. If it weren't for her, how could her Hui'er have suffered that misfortune? It was not enough to just let her give birth to an unknown child. She had to use her to continue stirring up this mess.

"Host, aren't you going to do something?"

Qi Yuebin shook her head and heard the system muttering that it thought she had saved Nian Shilan in the past and would now help her to keep the baby.

Qi Yuebin thought that his tasks had been completed and he had a child. Yixiu was now taking care of him and even helping to raise the child. This was another degree of "using her for his own benefit". Nian Shilan did not dare to act rashly in front of him. Qi Yuebin already wanted to leave.

Just a few days after she had this idea, Yixiu suddenly started to cling to her. Not only did they see each other every day, but she even proposed sleeping with her feet touching. Qi Yuebin was so frightened that she immediately covered her clothes, fearing that the woman in front of her would be driven crazy by lusting after her body.

"Do you have any small print?"

The candle flame flickered, hitting the bed curtain, occasionally emitting tiny sparks of candlelight, which sounded particularly loud in the silent room.

Qi Yuebin glanced at Yixiu and hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Han Zhang."

"'Han' means to hide. 'Zhang' means beauty.' It suits you very well."

Yixiu repeated it twice, feeling somewhat happy. Knowing her nickname was like they had an exclusive secret.

This night was so beautiful that it seemed like Yixiu had stolen it. She was reluctant to fall asleep. She was thinking about how to promote the relationship between Rouze and Nian Shilan, and then she secretly opened her eyes to look at Qi Yuebin beside her.

Smelling the unique soapberry fragrance (the smell of laundry detergent produced by the system) on Qi Yuebin, Yixiu felt extremely at ease.

For some reason, she has been feeling uneasy lately, unable to help but hold on to Qi Yuebin, as if she would completely lose him in the blink of an eye.

……

Nian Shilan was murdered and had a miscarriage!

She howled for two hours, and finally gave birth to a fully formed male fetus.

Yinzhen was extremely angry and scolded the Yilan Courtyard staff for failing to protect their master. He wanted to beat all the servants with a stick and sell them off.

Ignoring the guards' obstruction, Songzhi ran out of the house, knelt down and kowtowed, begging Yinzhen to make the decision while her forehead was covered in blood.

"I beg Your Highness to make a decision! Concubine Jin had a miscarriage due to someone's miscarriage! Please make a decision for Concubine Jin and the young prince!"

Songzhi revealed that Shilan hadn't gone out that day. She had her usual meal and drank a bowl of abortion-maintaining medicine, but within a quarter of an hour she developed severe abdominal pain and bleeding! The scheduled abortion-maintaining medicine was different!

Su Peisheng took the medicine cup and the remaining soup residue and asked the court physician to check. The court physician's face changed drastically after a simple look and he immediately kowtowed to the ground.

"Your Highness, this...this medicine contains a lot of safflower. Not only pregnant women, but even ordinary women would suffer from unbearable abdominal pain and even metrorrhagia if they drank it!"

Songzhi fell to one side while kneeling unsteadily, but quickly got up and continued to kowtow.

"Your Highness, I wonder who could be so cruel as to use such brutal means on Concubine Concubine! Your Highness must catch the murderer!"

Yinzhen gave Su Peisheng a wink, and when he was about to "investigate" according to the plan, Nanny Sun came over with a few servants.

Yinzhen didn't expect that his wet nurse would also get involved. He couldn't keep her silent in front of everyone, so he could only listen to her report first. However, he didn't expect that Nanny Sun was so capable and found the clue in just two hours.

"Your Highness, this incident happened suddenly. I interrogated the servant on duty in Yilan Courtyard's kitchen today without permission. I will ask for my own punishment after the incident. However, during the interrogation, I discovered a clue. Yuan'er, the maid in charge of firewood in the kitchen, looked strange. I sent someone to search her residence and found two gold hairpins and fifty taels of silver in her bag."

Su Peisheng shuddered. This, this is not right. Where did this come from? The master didn't mention this beforehand.

Yinzhen was also confused, but he didn't expect that Nanny Sun hadn't finished speaking yet.

"I noticed a young eunuch acting suspiciously, so I detained him and questioned him. Unexpectedly, he attempted to commit suicide by banging his head against a pillar. Fortunately, he was stopped in time. I found a paper bag on him. I can ask the palace physician to examine the contents."

The court doctor who was pretending to be dead was thinking that he really didn't check the almanac before going out today. Why did bad things happen one after another? If it happened again, he could just send a message back and tell her that she didn't have to cook for him anymore and that she could just wait until this time next year.

The court doctor finished the examination tremblingly and concluded that what remained in the paper bag was safflower.

Yinzhen stretched out his hand and pointed at the young eunuch who was being held aside. Su Peisheng understood and stepped forward to take him away for "interrogation", but he did not expect the young eunuch to struggle and spit out the cloth ball stuffed in his mouth, and screamed:

"I saw with my own eyes that Yuan'er added something to Concubine Nian's snack after dinner. If I lie, I will die miserably!"

Well, the two captured chess pieces started to fight each other.

Songzhi crawled to the small kitchen to get the remaining snacks. Yinzhen closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows. The feeling of being out of control made him very annoyed.

Seeing Songzhi coming out with the tray, the court doctor could only pray in his heart for the grandmother's blessing so that he could go to see her later.

Unfortunately, the grandmother may not have found the right connections, so the court physician gave up and reported truthfully that the pastries were mixed with a lot of musk.

Yinzhen, furious, laughed, repeating a few times, "Good!" He hadn't known that his own palace harbored such hidden talents, even another force capable of harming his offspring. If it weren't for the little eunuch biting out the pastry, no one would have investigated the other matters, and the musk incident would have been covered up. What a series of interlocking calculations!

"Su Peisheng, check for me!"
