The frost and cold weather quickly went away, but Sheng Nanzhi felt a little uneasy.

It shouldn't be.

Wasn't Aunt Liu still full of energy when she was acting like a rogue in front of her before?

Wasn't she fine when she left before?

How come I suddenly had a miscarriage?

Sheng Nanzhi frowned: "Yuanbao!"

Yuanbao immediately appeared, and Sheng Nanzhi hurriedly ordered: "Take Xueyi to the Sheng Mansion."

Yuanbao is a skilled martial artist and is able to sneak into the Sheng Mansion silently.

Xue Yi is her person and knows everything about the people she has placed in Sheng Mansion.

You can let Yuanbao take Xueyi back and find out what condition Aunt Liu is in when she returns to the Sheng Mansion.

Did anything happen in Sheng Mansion?

Although Yuanbao didn't know what Sheng Nanzhi wanted to do, he still agreed and walked away holding Xueyi's arm.

Yuanbao and Xueyi moved very quickly. In just half an hour, they were back.

"I've inquired about it. Madam Liu was fine when she got on the carriage at the gate of our mansion and when she got off the carriage at the Sheng Mansion."

"But halfway through, someone stopped their carriage and told Aunt Liu that Madam Sheng had sent a message saying that Prime Minister Sheng had sent a letter home, and asked Aunt Liu to go back to her own courtyard to check for the letter."

"My aunt got off the carriage and headed straight for her yard, but as soon as she entered the yard, the servants following her were stopped."

"There's some movement inside, but I don't know what it is."

"Not long after, Madam Liu's personal maid ran out in a hurry, saying that Madam Liu was bleeding and asked for a doctor."

Sheng Nanzhi narrowed her eyes. Is that so?

"Something must have happened in that yard."

Sheng Nanzhi pondered for a moment, then quickly asked, "Was Li Yueru in Concubine Liu's courtyard at that time?"

Since it was Li Yueru's people who told Concubine Liu the news that Sheng Lin had delivered the letter back home, it was very likely that Li Yueru was waiting in Concubine Liu's yard.

Then it must be... something Li Yueru said or did that caused it...

Sheng Nanzhi was thinking, but saw Xue Yi shook her head: "No."

"I can be sure that the Prime Minister's wife was in her own courtyard at that time."

"Hmm?" This was a little beyond Sheng Nanzhi's expectations.

It wasn’t Li Yueru.

But if it wasn't Li Yueru, and it was just a letter from Sheng Lin, why would he make a special trip to stop the servants around Concubine Liu and only let Concubine Liu in?

"The one who stopped Madam Liu was from the Sheng Mansion?"

"Yes."

Sheng Nanzhi frowned. If that was the case, then the letter from Sheng Lin to Concubine Liu's courtyard could not just be a letter from home.

No matter what was said in the letter, it should not cause Aunt Liu to have a miscarriage.

Moreover, there was someone blocking the yard, so it must not be just a letter from home.

There is a high probability that there is someone in Aunt Liu's yard.

But if it wasn’t Li Yueru, who could it be?

In Sheng Mansion, there is someone who can mobilize people from Sheng Mansion to keep watch.

Moreover, Aunt Liu valued the baby in her belly so much that when she had a miscarriage, she didn't dare to blame the person who did it and could only blame everything on her.

She could think of only one person who met all the circumstances and conditions.

That is... Sheng Lin.

Sheng Nanzhi tightly gripped the soft armrest of the couch, but hadn't Sheng Lin... been sent to Huaizhou by the late emperor?

That night, seeing that the situation was not right, he even set off overnight.

It has been several days since Sheng Lin left the imperial city, right?

Even if he rushed back immediately after hearing the news of the old emperor's death, he would not be able to make it back.

unless……

There was a flash of coldness in Sheng Nanzhi's eyes.

Unless Sheng Lin had never left the imperial city from the beginning.

Leaving the imperial city overnight to rush to Huaizhou to quell the bandit rebellion was just a deception he deliberately created for them.

The person who went to Huaizhou was someone else.

It is very likely that this is just a trick arranged by Sheng Lin.

Also.

The situation in Huaizhou is extremely dangerous. The old emperor obviously wants Sheng Lin to die. How could Sheng Lin really obey?

What's more, the court was in a turbulent period, and it was a critical time for the change of power.

Sheng Lin has been in the court for so many years that he is more or less sensitive to matters concerning the government and position.

Naturally, he also sensed the signs of impending turmoil in the court.

No matter who finally ascends to the high position, he should stay in the imperial city and react and respond immediately when there is a change in power.

and so……

Sheng Nanzhi narrowed her eyes. Sheng Lin did not go to Huaizhou.

He is in the imperial city.

Sheng Lin must have known the news that Shi Huaizhi ascended the throne, and that Concubine Liu had broken off all ties with her, so he made a special trip to wait at the Sheng Mansion to ask Concubine Liu about her visit to Prince Yi's Mansion today.

Sheng Lin would certainly be very angry when he learned that she had not reconciled with Aunt Liu.

In all likelihood, he would attack Aunt Liu directly.

He was probably the real culprit who caused Concubine Liu to have a miscarriage.

Sheng Lin must have threatened Concubine Liu in some way, so the first thing Concubine Liu did when she had a miscarriage was to send someone to find her and ask her to send the imperial physician over, and then to blame her for the miscarriage.

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes, her pupils dark and gloomy.

This aunt of hers is really...

She didn't know what to say.

But there was no way she could be used as a chess piece in their hands.

"I understand." Sheng Nanzhi closed her eyes and turned to look at Yuanbao: "Go to the palace and report to His Majesty for me, and say..."

The words were on the tip of her tongue, her eyes fell on Yuan Bao's slightly innocent face, she was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Forget it, if you can't convey it clearly, I'd better write a letter directly to His Majesty."

A big question appeared in Yuanbao's eyes.

What the hell?

Why didn't he understand what he was saying?

"I can do that. Your Majesty, just say it directly. I can tell Your Majesty exactly what you said."

Sheng Nanzhi glanced at him and said, "Forget it. I'll just write a letter."

She couldn't take the risk.

She quickly finished writing the letter: "Remember, be sure to hand it over to His Majesty."

Yuanbao curled his lips, and although he was reluctant, he still agreed: "Okay."

Not long after Yuanbao left, Shuanghan came with the imperial physician to report.

"Your Majesty, I just went to check on Madam Liu."

"Madam Liu is indeed having a miscarriage and has had her period."

Sheng Nanzhi nodded: "Is the child okay?"

The imperial physician shook his head: "The child is safe for now, but Madam Liu will have to stay in bed for at least a month to protect the fetus."

"That's good."

As long as the child is saved.

The child was saved, and at least Aunt Liu no longer had the bargaining chip to frame her.

Her eyelashes trembled, and she asked again, "You just went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to treat Concubine Liu. Did you find any obvious injuries or marks on Concubine Liu's body?"
