The Crown Prince immediately understood Mu Yue's meaning.

He did not agree, but instead frowned and asked, "Could we tell Father Emperor about this?"

They don't have many capable people at their disposal.

Investigating this matter solely by their own resources would likely require many times more time and effort, and there's no guarantee they'll achieve the desired results.

Mu Yue shook her head.

Her brows remained furrowed, her expression troubled. "I didn't tell Father Emperor about this suspicion, but I think Father Emperor must have had some guesses as well."

The Crown Prince nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Father has many things to deal with on a daily basis, and there is no concrete evidence in this matter. It is only a few words from the nanny, and I'm afraid Father will not believe it."

Mu Yue nodded in agreement.

It was for this reason that she did not tell her father the news she had learned from the nanny.

She didn't know if her father would believe her.

"Crown Prince, are you willing to help Yue'er?"

Mu Yue looked at the Crown Prince expectantly, waiting for his answer.

Without much consideration, the Crown Prince quickly made his decision.

He nodded vigorously, "I will help Yue'er investigate this matter before the Empress Dowager wakes up!"

While the two were talking, Chunju's people had already summoned Imperial Physician Wang.

Imperial Physician Wang had already heard the news of the Empress's accident.

He carried his medicine box early and walked briskly towards Kunning Palace.

On the way, they encountered the eunuch whom Chunju had arranged to find them.

He now understands the situation.

Upon entering the hall, he didn't even have time to greet the two young princes before rushing to the bedside.

After carefully taking his pulse, Imperial Physician Wang frowned and asked, "Who said that His Highness has stopped breathing?"

"Although the young prince's pulse is weak, his constitution is healthy. As long as he is properly cared for, there will be no major problems!"

Upon hearing the imperial physician's diagnosis, Mu Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But she soon remembered that the medicine she was using to improve her physical condition had side effects.

She asked with some concern, "Seventh Sister, is there anything else wrong with your health?"

After carefully checking again, the imperial physician answered Mu Yue's question.

"His Highness's pulse appears to be fine!"

Upon receiving this answer, Mu Yue frowned, looking distressed.

If the pulse diagnosis doesn't reveal any problems, further questioning will likely yield no further results.

We can only take one step at a time.

Mu Yue sighed and thought of her two younger brothers again.

"The sixth and seventh brothers look thin and weak, and the seventh brother's face is even more bluish-purple. I will have to trouble the royal physician to examine the sixth and seventh brothers."

Imperial Physician Wang naturally wouldn't refuse.

Mu Yue did not give her two younger brothers any medicine to improve their health.

The results of the pulse diagnosis were not optimistic.

After taking the pulses of the two princes, Imperial Physician Wang frowned. "The pulses of the two princes are clearly much weaker than those of Her Highness the Princess. They will probably need careful care from those around them."

The Empress Dowager was the head of the harem.

She would have arranged for servants to attend to her two younger brothers, so there's no need to worry about that.

Once she has accumulated enough points, she will buy her two younger brothers medicines that have no side effects and can improve their physical condition.

Mu Yue quickly came up with arrangements for her two younger brothers.

But the next second, they heard Imperial Physician Wang say, "The Seventh Prince has a heart condition; he needs to pay close attention to his diet..."

The crown prince looked at his two younger brothers lying on the bed, and for some reason, he felt a mix of emotions.

Especially when looking at the Seventh Prince lying on the bed.

He always felt that the Seventh Prince was like his other half, and he could even vaguely sense his thoughts.

He couldn't understand where this feeling came from.

But he instinctively remembered all the precautions the imperial physician had mentioned.

The empress did not wake up until the evening of the next day.

During this time, everyone in the palace knew that the Queen had given birth to three more children.

Many of the concubines in the palace who had no children were very jealous of the Empress.

Previously, the Empress, as the head of the harem, held great power. Her only son was the Crown Prince, and she also had such a favored daughter, which was enough to make the concubines in the palace jealous.

Now there are two more princes and one princess.

Many people's eyes turned red.

The number of porcelain vases lost in each palace has increased significantly.

During the time the Empress was in a coma, Mu Yue had planned to investigate the cause of the Empress's premature birth.

However, she was always worried about the side effects of the medicine she was going to give her younger sister, and she was also concerned about the health of her two younger brothers. In the end, she gave up the idea and simply entrusted the matter to the palace maid who served her.

She had a feeling that the palace maid wouldn't be able to find out anything useful.

as predicted.

Until the Empress woke up, the palace maid in charge of investigating the matter did not provide any useful results.

When the Empress woke up, the first thing she looked at was her abdomen.

The flat abdomen suggests that several children are not present.

She immediately panicked and grabbed the hand of Granny Zhang, who was standing guard beside her, "Granny... the child..."

Her body ached slightly, and those few simple words had exhausted all her strength.

Seeing the Empress's pale face and anxious expression, Zhang Mama quickly reassured her, "Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. All the young masters are fine."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the addition of two more princes and a princess!"

The Empress breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the child was alright.

Upon receiving news that the Empress had awakened, Mu Yue rushed over, lifting her skirt.

Seeing the Empress's pale face, Mu Yue asked with red eyes, "Empress Mother, are you alright?"

The Empress's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a pale smile as she gently rubbed Mu Yue's head. "Your Majesty...it's alright..."

"Yue'er..."

Before the Empress could speak, Mu Yue started chattering about her younger siblings.

At the same time, she asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, Granny Zhang said that you were born prematurely because you stepped on a bead and accidentally tripped and fell. Is that true?"

The Empress had just woken up and was so concerned about the health of her children that she forgot about this matter.

If it weren't for that mysteriously appearing bead, she would never have gone into premature labor.

Fortunately, none of the children were hurt; otherwise, even if she found the culprit, it would have been too late.

But she has no intention of letting the mastermind behind the scenes get away with it.

"Granny Zhang, summon everyone who has been serving near the Imperial Garden these past few days!"

Upon hearing the Empress's instructions, Granny Zhang immediately frowned.

With a hint of worry in her eyes, she gently advised, "This servant knows that Your Highness wants to find the culprit as soon as possible, but your health is the most important thing right now."

"Your Majesty has finally recovered, but now she has gone through childbirth and almost walked out of the gates of hell. What she needs most is to rest and recuperate, not to concern herself with these trivial matters."

"If Your Majesty trusts me, then I will entrust this matter to you..."

The empress was strong-willed and wanted to control everything.

Even when tasks were assigned to other concubines in the harem, she would still dedicate a portion of her attention to them.

She wasn't comfortable entrusting the matter to the nanny.

But she had only said a few words when she felt increasingly tired.

Left with no other choice, she agreed to Granny Zhang's request.
