Li Shu's heart skipped a beat.

After calming himself down, he asked, "What happened?"

"The news that spread was that the Crown Prince had suddenly fallen seriously ill and was in a coma. The Crown Princess, out of fear, had a miscarriage and the baby might not survive."

"..."

Li Shu's face changed drastically.

Lin Yuan continued, "The truth is, after the Crown Prince returned to the Eastern Palace from the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion, he went back to his bedroom, exchanged his subordinates, and then went to his study. He then suddenly fainted in the study and had to be taken back to his bedroom. The Crown Princess was indeed a little frightened, but it wasn't to the point of causing a miscarriage. She suddenly developed abdominal pain while watching the imperial physicians checking the Crown Prince's pulse."

Li Shu secretly clenched her hands.

This is obviously done through the system!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the prince, who is so skilled in martial arts and vigilant, to faint for no apparent reason!

I just don’t know whether this was done by the emperor or the person hiding behind Xie Yu!

If it was the person hiding behind Xie Yu who did it, then that person is also involved with the emperor...

Inexplicably, she suddenly thought of Lin Qi...

He blurted out, "Has Concubine Qi found out anything recently?"

Lin Yuan was a little puzzled as to why she would think of Concubine Qi at this time, but he answered truthfully, "Concubine Qi seems to be as evil as Xie Yu. No... I should say, Concubine Qi is even more evil than Xie Yu. Anyone in the palace who has proposed to monitor and follow Concubine Qi for a long time has disappeared."

Their whereabouts are unknown...

I’m afraid it’s very dangerous!

I just don't know if he was killed directly, or if he was caught and tortured...

Thinking of the scenes of criminals being tortured in the sky prison that she had seen in her dream, Li Shu subconsciously put on the Buddhist beads on her wrist.

In an instant, the cool fragrance of the Buddhist beads seemed to be transmitted directly through her fingertips to her nose, making her calm down a lot instantly.

Then she said, "Tell your people to stop investigating Concubine Qi for now. Wait until I have confirmed something before making any arrangements. Then immediately send a message to the Grand Princess's residence and ask when Grandmother is free. I would like to invite her to the Peacock Terrace to watch an opera."

She had to get something out of her grandmother.

Otherwise, before she gets the result, something will happen to the prince and Murong Yunchu.

And the prince is currently her hope for divorce.

"Yes."

After Lin Yuan bowed and was about to leave, Li Shu suddenly thought of Yin Fei'er and asked again, "Has Fei'er gone to the East Palace?"

"It's time to go. After all, even the Queen has gone."

"...Has the news of what happened in the Eastern Palace spread throughout the capital?"

"Yes."

"I understand, go ahead and get busy."

"Yes, I am resigning."

After Lin Yuan left, Li Shu sat down at the table and quickly started eating breakfast.

Although she wasn't eating voraciously, her movements were still pleasing to the eye and orderly. As she put down her chopsticks, Aunt Gui asked, "Young lady, are you going to the Eastern Palace?"

Li Shu had completely calmed down by now, and just nodded slightly when she heard that.

She had already thought that nothing serious would happen to the prince before Fei'er got married.

After all, if something happened to the prince, Fei'er's wedding, who was born to the same mother as the prince, would naturally have to be postponed.

That would delay their purpose of using Fei'er to ruin her luck!

After all, if the emperor didn't want too many people to notice that the queen had changed, he wouldn't have been so harsh on Fei'er in the palace!

But once they go to Fenglan, they can do whatever they want!

When Aunt Gui saw that Li Shu had completely calmed down, although she was a little worried, she didn't say or ask any more questions.

Then, in front of the East Palace gate, Jingzhe stepped forward and explained the purpose of Li Shu's visit. Soon, someone came out and invited Li Shu in.

It was the dogwood in front of Murong Yunchu.

As soon as she reached Li Shu, she lowered her voice and said, "Madam Ning Shizi, you've arrived just in time! Princess Feiyun has been crying beside our Crown Prince's bed for a long time, and even the Empress couldn't stop her. And our Crown Princess has only just recovered. We were really worried that she would make another mistake, so we kept trying to persuade her and didn't let her comfort Princess Feiyun. Now that she's on the verge of giving up, we're extremely worried!"

Li Shu pursed her lips in thought for a moment before she asked, "You said the Crown Princess has just recovered a bit. I wonder if the baby in her belly... is safe?"

"It's saved! Thanks to Princess Feiyun!"

"Oh? Did Fei'er bring some miraculous elixir for the Crown Princess?"

"No, before Princess Feiyun came, our Crown Princess had already had spotting. The imperial doctors said there was nothing they could do. They even said politely that our Crown Princess was still young and would have many children in the future. But after Princess Feiyun came, our Crown Princess' spotting stopped! I guess it was due to a change in her mood!"

"..."

Li Shu secretly clenched her hands, instinctively feeling that it was related to what she gave Fei'er.

But she didn't want to jump to conclusions.

He said to Zhuyu, "It's okay with Fei'er. Take me to meet the Crown Princess first."

Fei'er had endured so much, from being inexplicably taken to Nanshan Temple, to discovering that the Queen's body had been taken away by someone, to having her husband separated from her by Yin Qiang'er and almost having half of her dowry taken away. However, she had to act in front of the Emperor and the current Queen, and couldn't even cry as she pleased.

Based on her understanding of Fei'er, Fei'er would cry beside the prince's bed until no one could persuade her, and she must have wanted to take the opportunity to vent her emotions so that she wouldn't suddenly collapse completely one day.

But Zhuyu was very surprised.

Because everyone in the capital city knew that Li Shu and Yin Feier had a relationship that was better than that of real sisters.

But Zhuyu still did as Li Shu said and took Li Shu to Murong Yunchu's residence first.

Before the Crown Prince married Murong Yunchu, Fei'er took her to see the courtyard that the Crown Prince had arranged for Murong Yunchu.

I still remember her impression after watching it was that it was so deserted.

However, when she came to this courtyard again, the scenery was very different.

Even though it is the coldest time of the year, there is warmth everywhere.

It immediately reminded her of the Shaoguang Courtyard when her mother was alive. Every corner of it was warm and comfortable, so that people who were there could directly know how loving and harmonious the owners were through the scenery and atmosphere.

But after my mother passed away, even though my father tried his best to keep every corner of Shaoguang Courtyard the same as it was when my mother was alive, it was no longer warm and comfortable, and there was only desolation and loneliness.

After thinking about it, she stood in front of Murong Yunchu's door and calmed down.

When she stepped in, a faint and decent smile was already on her face.

Although Murong Yunchu, who was leaning against the head of the bed, looked a little pale and his eyes were full of anxiety and worry, he immediately smiled at her.

When she was about to greet me, he stopped her immediately and said, "You didn't even bother to greet me before, why are you being so awkward now?"
