Queen Wei was uneasy because of the poisoning of the Queen Mother.

She didn't expect that Ling Yu could save the Queen Mother, tell her about the Queen Mother's poisoning, and make Emperor Wu An suspicious of her.

Now, Yanfu Palace is heavily guarded, and her people can't get any news at all.

And King Wei was crushed by several princes in the Four Kingdoms Competition, making Emperor Wu'an more and more disappointed with him.

Xiao Lintian's prestige is getting higher and higher!

If this continues, King Wei will be further and further away from his position as crown prince!

She is upset.

The eldest palace maid Xia Qiao hurried in and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have received news that King Ye purchased a blood ginseng plant at a high price!"

"Weren't King Yi and his wife assassinated yesterday? Hearing that Princess Yi was dying, King Yi went to Prince Ye's Mansion to ask for this blood ginseng! But King Ye denied it and said it didn't exist!"

"Isn't this strange? Prince Yi and his wife are now deeply favored by the emperor. Who wouldn't want them to suffer misfortune!"

Empress Wei sneered nonchalantly: "If it were me, I would say I don't have it even if I have it!"

Xia Qiao smiled slyly: "Your Majesty, this morning King Ye's reputation for being ungrateful and refusing to save him has spread throughout the imperial capital!"

"If this King Ye really doesn't have blood ginseng, he will be wronged and it will be clear! But if he really does have blood ginseng, with his friendship with King Yi, does he really care about this mere hundred thousand?"

"Isn't this his best chance to buy his reputation?"

Queen Wei still sneered disapprovingly, "Buying reputation is good, but which of these princes has no ambition? Even if King Ye gets along well with King Yi on the surface, he must be wishing for Ling Yu to die, so how can he help!"

"Empress, please think about the use of this blood ginseng. It is a tonic that is only needed when life is in danger due to excessive blood loss!"

"Who does King Ye want to save by buying such expensive medicine?"

Xia Qiao said in a low voice: "Think about it again, isn't Concubine Hui bedridden during this period?"

"My servant went to inquire about it. The maid in her palace only said that Concubine Hui occasionally felt cold, but it has been more than ten days and she has not left the house. Isn't there something strange in this?"

Queen Wei's eyebrows suddenly tightened. During this time, she was busy helping King Wei think of ways to deal with Ling Yu and his wife, so she didn't pay much attention to matters in the palace.

As soon as Xia Qiao reminded her, Queen Wei's mind turned away.

Excessive bleeding?

When does a woman lose too much blood?

Isn’t it the time of giving birth or miscarriage?

ah......

Queen Wei suddenly opened her eyes in shock, and was so frightened that she almost fell off her seat.

"Xia Qiao...isn't that what I think?"

Even though Queen Wei was the mother of a country, she didn't dare to think that such a thing would happen in the palace.

"Mother, what do you think of?"

Xia Qiao had actually guessed what Queen Wei was thinking, but she couldn't say it.

She has her own thoughts. She cannot be a palace maid all her life. If she pleases Queen Wei, she may be able to be a concubine for King Wei in the future.

"Xia Qiao, go to the royal room and ask Eunuch Wu, who is in charge, to secretly show me the concubine's menstrual affairs and bedtime records in the past few months!"

Queen Wei's voice was trembling with excitement, and she ordered in a low voice: "Bring over the record of Concubine Hui's pulse diagnosis by the imperial physician! Don't let anyone find out!"

"yes!"

Xia Qiao pretended not to understand what Queen Wei wanted these things for, agreed and left.

Queen Wei's confidant, Nanny Zheng, has been with Queen Wei for decades. Whenever Queen Wei's mind moves, she knows what Queen Wei is thinking.

Seeing that Xia Qiao had gone out, she approached Empress Wei and whispered: "Mother, do you suspect that Concubine Hui had a dark knot in her pregnancy and secretly aborted the child, which caused the massive hemorrhage?"

When Empress Wei saw that Aunt Zheng had brought this matter to light, she slightly tilted her head and squeezed out a sentence through her teeth.

"If this is true, I wonder how Queen Ye and her son can escape this fate!"
