"Don't worry, mother. I have two good sisters in the palace. They treat me very well." Huipin's voice was soft and firm, as if she wanted to reassure her mother.

She thought of the two sisters, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. They had experienced the ups and downs of the palace together, supporting and caring for each other.

They have also shared laughter and tears together and spent many unforgettable moments together.

In this cold palace, this sincere friendship became a bright spot in her life.

"That's good, but you have to be careful too." Mrs. Shen said worriedly.

"Now I am finally looking forward to my mother entering the palace. I wonder when my child will be born?"

"Caiyue, have you arranged everything for mother?"

"My lady, I have already instructed Xiao Shi to arrange everything according to Madam's preferences. Please rest assured!"

"Madam lives in the side hall, closest to the young master."

"That's it."

"My lady, I will go prepare lunch. You and Madam will surely have endless things to talk about."

"Then go ahead and let me talk to my mother."

Caiyue then stepped out and told Xiao Shi to guard the door.

"Doctor Wen, my sister hasn't been feeling well lately. Can you take a look at her and see if she's alright?"

I called Baojuan to invite Wen Shichu over.

"My lord, do you feel any discomfort?"

"In recent days, I've often felt dizzy, tinnitus, weakness all over my body, nausea, and extreme fatigue. Lord Wen, do you think there's anything wrong?"

"Judging from your pulse, it seems like you're suffering from poisoning. It's normal for a pregnant woman to feel nauseous and lethargic. But you're already three months along, so this shouldn't be the case!"

Doctor Wen frowned and spoke in a serious tone.

He carefully observed his sister's face and pulse, his heart filled with doubts and worries.

After hearing this, my sister's face turned pale and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

She clutched the handkerchief tightly and asked in a trembling voice, "Doctor Wen, what on earth is going on? How could I be poisoned? Will it affect the child..."

Doctor Wen sighed and soothed, "Don't worry, young lady. I will examine her in detail. If she is truly poisoned, we must find the source as soon as possible to avoid endangering her and the fetus."

After that, he carefully inquired about the young lady's recent diet, daily life, etc., and asked the palace maids to check the items in the house one by one.

After some searching, nothing was found.

Perhaps someone has tampered with your medicine. I will find out by checking the residue.

"Jinxi, go get my sister's pregnancy-maintaining medicine and let Lord Wen take a look to see if there is anything wrong."

Jinxi immediately went to get it.

Wen Shichu checked for a long time but found nothing unusual.

"That shouldn't be the case. Judging from the pulse, the young lady is indeed poisoned. There is no doubt about it. But where is the problem?" Wen Shichu was puzzled.

He took the patient's pulse again, trying to find a clue.

But the result is the same as the previous inference, there is no difference.

"Forgive me for my incompetence and my inability to find the source of your poisoning." Wen Shichu felt a little guilty.

I accidentally glanced at the tea beside me.

I was suddenly shocked. Could it be this tea?

"Master Wen, could you please take a look at the tea to see if there's anything wrong with it?"

I handed the tea that my sister had just drunk to Wen Shichu.

Wen Shichu took it and examined it carefully.

After careful verification, Wen Shichu determined that there was something wrong with the tea.

"I have smelled the tea carefully and it has a bitter taste!"

"Sister, I've noticed you've been drinking tea recently, but you rarely drank it before." I also noticed something unusual.

"I've been thirsty lately, so I asked Huanbi to make some tea for me. After all, this tea is a recent gift from the Empress."

"Empress... could it be..."

My sister was also a little surprised.

Doctor Wen quickly comforted her, "Young Master, don't worry too much. Now that we've found the source of the poison, we have a solution. As long as you avoid contact with poisonous substances, I will prescribe some anti-abortion and antidote medicine for you to take, and both mother and child will be safe. However, you must be more careful in the future and never let something like this happen again."

"Someone added Chuanwu to your water. Chuanwu is a good medicine that can dispel wind and dampness, warm the meridians and relieve pain."

"But Chuanwu is very strong and pregnant women should never eat it. It may cause the drug to pass through the placenta to the fetus, thereby affecting the growth and development of the fetus and even causing miscarriage."

"Then Lord Wen, my child won't be affected, right?"

"Fortunately, it was discovered early, and the young lady was not seriously poisoned. If it had been a while longer, something bad would have happened. It's all my fault for being careless." Doctor Wen said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

My sister said with lingering fear, "I've been feeling strange lately too. I was fine a while ago, but recently I've suddenly become unwell. I wonder if someone poisoned me!"

"However, anyone who can come up with such a method must understand medical principles and be quite proficient in them."

The elder sister pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of someone. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and said, "Could it be Concubine Hua? Only she has the motivation and ability to do such a thing..."

"No, it won't be Concubine Hua."

I guessed in my heart.

"Given Concubine Hua's personality and temper, she would never think of using such means to deal with her sister."

"Although Concubine Hua's daily actions are arrogant and willful, she is not so insidious and cunning. Concubine Hua has always been direct and likes to fight with others openly, rather than playing tricks behind the scenes like she is now."

"So it must not be Concubine Hua!"

"Then, who is so scheming?" I realized that there must be a huge conspiracy behind this incident, and the mastermind behind it is the truly terrifying enemy.

"I heard that the Empress knows medicine. When she was in the palace, she had been taking care of Empress Chunyuan's diet ever since her child died of illness."

"I heard that the Empress knows medicine. When she was in the palace, she had been taking care of Empress Chunyuan's diet ever since her child died of illness."

These words rang in everyone's ears like thunder, causing everyone to open their eyes wide.

"How is it possible that the Empress knows about medicine? We have never heard of it."

"Sister, please don't disbelieve it. The rumors are not groundless. If they are true, I'm afraid the Queen is suspected of this."

However, I didn’t tell my sister what I knew right away.

I know it's not the right time yet. After all, without solid evidence, everything is just speculation.

"Sister, we can't make it public right now. We need to think about this matter carefully."

"The enemy is in the open, and we are in the dark. If we want to catch the person behind the scenes, we have to put on a show."

Then I explained the plan to them in detail and carried it out according to plan.
