The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

Concubine Xi frowned and tried hard to recall every detail of her miscarriage, but she still had no clue.

She has always been very cautious and careful, and the personal maids and eunuchs around her are all confidants brought from home, because she is worried that some of them are dishonest and can be bribed by others.

The spices she used were also carefully selected.

Since entering the palace, she found that the emperor seemed to particularly like the scent of roses, so she changed to this scent.

The spices were made by her trusted colleagues in the shop, and delivered by people she trusted. They were even sent to the Imperial Hospital for female officials to check and confirm before use.

So what went wrong? Concubine Xi pondered over it, but could not find the answer.

Gu Fanchu pondered for a moment before replying, "Could my aunt ask Chu'er to ask about the sachet on your body?"

To be honest, she wasn't that sensitive to the scent; she just thought it smelled nice.

Concubine Xi gently took off the sachet from her body and handed it to Gu Fanchu.

Gu Fanchu took the sachet, carefully opened it, and then put her nose close to it, taking a deep breath and carefully savoring the aroma. As she expected...

"Aunt, this incense does contain some special ingredients, but they're not noticeable. If the previous imperial physician didn't notice them, then it's very likely someone secretly added these substances after the sachet was returned. This fragrance won't have a noticeable effect in the short term, but prolonged use will cause serious harm to the body."

Concubine Xi's face turned ashen at this moment, as if covered by a layer of frost.

Over the years, she had tried every possible method in the hope of conceiving a child. Not only had she consulted imperial physicians, she had also sought out renowned doctors. Every day, she drank bitter medicine, just for that small wish in her heart.

However, she now realized that the problem might be on her side.

"Is there any way to get pregnant?" Concubine Xi's voice was full of bitterness and helplessness. Her eyes revealed a hint of despair, but more of it was expectation.

She looked at Gu Fanchu and seemed to find a glimmer of hope in her.

After all, Gu Fanchu was able to perceive the problem so keenly, perhaps she also had a solution.

"Why don't you let Chu'er take your aunt's pulse?" Gu Fanchu said softly, her tone filled with concern and tenderness.

She knew the pain and desire in Concubine Xi's heart at the moment, so she was naturally willing to do her best to help her.

It seems that Concubine Xi is not clear about who around her has problems, so she naturally has to hurry up. After all, the palace is not like home, and it is impossible for her to come here every day.

Concubine Xi nodded, so she immediately stretched out her hand and placed it on the table. Gu Fanchu gently took her pulse, closed his eyes, and quietly felt the beating of his pulse.

The room was completely silent, as if time had stood still. Gu Fanchu frowned, remaining silent, while Imperial Concubine Xi waited anxiously, and Concubine Wang nervously held her breath, not daring to make a sound.

After a long while, Gu Fanchu finally withdrew his hand slowly. Then he fell into deep thought again, as if thinking about something over and over again. Then he carefully considered his words and said:

"Aunt, after you had a miscarriage, someone took the opportunity to place this substance that depletes your vital energy in your body. As a result, you are now experiencing severe symptoms of deficiency and blood in your body, and your menstruation is not smooth, right?"

After hearing this, Wang couldn't help but turn her head to look at her sister-in-law, and sure enough, she found that she nodded with an embarrassed look on her face. She couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and secretly wondered: Is it really not going to work?

For the General's Mansion, if the sister-in-law could be pregnant with a prince, it would undoubtedly be the best thing. In this way, there would be a prince in the palace that they could rely on.

As for Wang Shi herself, although she always acted as if she was loved and favored every time she visited the imperial concubine in the palace over the years, she also noticed that she always looked at other people's children with envy. After all, only by having your own children can you truly have something to rely on.

At this moment, Concubine Xi's heart was filled with uneasiness, and she gradually felt a chill coming over her!

If what Chu'er said was true, then this drug had been in her body for more than ten years.

No matter how small the amount of medicine is, after such a long period of accumulation, it will eventually cause damage to the body.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Although you're suffering from a myriad of illnesses right now, there's still hope," Gu Fanchu consoled her. These words, like a seed of hope, took root and sprouted in the hearts of the other two in the room, their faces lit up with joy.

Concubine Xi directly took Gu Fanchu's hand, her tone full of excitement and expectation: "Chu'er, are you serious?" There was a gleam in her eyes, as if she saw a glimmer of hope.

"Of course it's true." Gu Fanchu replied with a smile. Her smile was as warm as a spring breeze, making people feel extremely comfortable. Infected by the joy of the person in front of her, her mood also became cheerful.

However, Concubine Xi's expression suddenly became serious. She held Gu Fanchu's hand tightly and looked at her firmly: "Chu'er, tell me, what should I do to recover my health?"

Gu Fanchu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "Aunt, first you have to clear out the people around you. These people may have betrayed you or were instructed by others. In addition, you can no longer wear harmful items, such as the sachet just now. Also, there can't be any more such things in the house."

A hint of coldness flashed across Concubine Xi's eyes. She gritted her teeth and made up her mind to clear these evil-minded people out of the palace. She knew that this not only concerned her health, but also her future and status.

"Don't worry, Chu'er, I will handle this matter. I will not let go of anyone who tries to hurt me!" Concubine Xi's voice revealed determination and decisiveness.

How could Concubine Dexi, who always prides herself on her intelligence, tolerate someone deceiving her for such a long time? She must find that person and make her pay the price!

Gu Fanchu nodded in agreement. She knew that once Imperial Concubine Xi made up her mind, she would definitely act on it. And as Imperial Concubine Xi's niece, she would fully support her.

"Aunt, I'll leave you a prescription, but it needs to be taken continuously for a month. It can't be interrupted during this period, and there are some things you should avoid. After a month, Chu'er will come back to check your pulse and adjust the prescription."

As soon as Gu Fanchu finished speaking, a palace maid came in: "Your Highness, the meal is ready."

When Gu Fanchu saw this, he looked at Concubine Xi and stopped talking.
