Chapter 790 Who is his partner?
"I suddenly discovered that the bowl that held the pregnancy-preserving medicine for Lady Sun had been smeared with medicine! When the boiling hot medicine is poured into the bowl, the medicine will instantly dissolve into the medicine."
"Because the bowls for the pregnancy-preserving medicine were not fixed, the man would choose a bowl and apply the medicine on the wall of the bowl before the young lady drank the medicine."
"In this way, the prescription, medicinal materials, medicinal residue, and even the jar for decocting the medicine are all fine, making this matter even more difficult to detect!"
Shen Zhinian asked in a deep voice: "What kind of medicine did that person give Sister Sun?!"
Tang Luochuan said: "My Lady, it's not accurate to call it medicine. This thing is called 'Lvfang'. It won't cause any harm to ordinary people if they take it. At most, it will improve their appetite."
"But if a pregnant woman who already has a big appetite eats it, she will become extremely hungry and completely unable to control her appetite, eating too much every day. The fetus will grow to be very large, leading to a difficult birth, or even two deaths..."
When Concubine Sun heard this, her face turned pale, and her fingers holding the teacup began to tremble slightly. At the same time, she actually felt that her injustice had been vindicated.
"I was wondering, I wasn't a big eater before, how could I become like this? Even if my appetite improved during pregnancy, it's impossible for me to have no self-control at all. It turns out someone is really harming me!"
"Wuwuwu... Sister Noble Concubine Chen, look, I really didn't mean to disobey you."
Zhu Er: “…”
Is this the point?
The point is that someone wants to murder the young lady and the royal family!
Why is the young lady's attention entirely focused on Concubine Chen?
Shen Zhinian looked at Concubine Sun and said soothingly, "I know."
"Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let anyone else harm you!"
Looking at Shen Zhinian's calm eyes, Concubine Sun's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.
Every time she looked at her sister, Concubine Chen, she felt safer than when she saw His Majesty.
"Yes! Sister Noble Concubine Chen, I believe you!"
Then, Concubine Sun looked at Tang Luochuan: "Doctor Tang, have you found out who is so hateful and wants to harm me?!"
Tang Luochuan's eyes deepened slightly. "It's impossible for outsiders to know which bowl Concubine Sun uses to hold the pregnancy-maintaining medicine every day, and it's even more impossible for them to touch it. This can only mean that this was done by the pharmacist who boiled the medicine."
"It is my fault that I failed to control my subordinates and didn't even know there was a traitor among them."
Lady Sun shook her head. "Who in the palace doesn't have a lot of tricks? Maybe even I have spies planted by others. It's normal for a traitor to appear."
"Doctor Tang, you don't have to blame yourself for this. The most important thing is to find the person as soon as possible!"
Shen Zhinian also asked: "Do you know which medicine apprentice did this?"
Tang Luochuan said: "Replying to the Queen Concubine Chen, as soon as I found out about this matter, I came to Zhongcui Palace to report. I am not sure who the perpetrator is. However, I only have three medicine apprentices under my command, so it is very easy to investigate."
"I think that a mere medicine apprentice would never have the guts to murder the imperial concubines and the heir to the throne. There must be someone behind him!"
"Therefore, I think it is not appropriate to make this matter public, so as not to alert the enemy."
Lady Sun nodded heavily, "Yes, yes, yes! Catching a drug addict alone won't solve the problem. Who knows if the person behind him will find another way to harm my child? We should follow the clues and catch the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Shen Zhinian nodded slightly, agreeing with their idea.
She looked at Tang Luochuan and said, "In that case, this matter will be left to you."
If she intervened rashly and was noticed by the person behind the scenes, it would be difficult to catch that person.
Tang Luochuan's lips curved up: "I will definitely fulfill your mission!"
"Mrs. Sun's pregnancy is already stable. She could have taken the pregnancy-maintaining medicine or not, but I have been letting her take it according to the palace's custom. From today onwards, Mrs. Sun is not to take the pregnancy-maintaining medicine sent by the Imperial Hospital."
Concubine Sun said, "I understand."
It's terrible!
It was because Concubine Hao's pregnancy-maintaining medicine was tampered with by Concubine Zhuang that all the mother's energy and blood were used to nourish the fetus.
How come someone had put something in her pregnancy-preserving medicine?
Who in the palace dares to take pregnancy-preserving medicine if they are pregnant in the future...
After this incident, Tang Luochuan resigned.
Lady Sun heaved a sigh of relief: "I don't have to drink the abortion-preserving medicine that has been spiked with ingredients anymore. Will I no longer be reborn like a starving ghost?"
God knows how she has been so greedy these past few months that she couldn't bear it every day, and she had to compete with Nanny Lin and Zhu'er on how to eat secretly without them knowing.
She is so difficult!
Zhu Er felt a little guilty and lowered her head and said, "My lady, you always said that you couldn't control your appetite before, and I thought you were making excuses for your greed. It's my fault for misunderstanding you..."
Lady Sun didn't take it to heart: "Who could have thought of that?"
"But now it's all good. Doctor Tang has seen through that man's plot. He can't harm me again!"
Zhu Er nodded: "That's it!"
"Once we find the perpetrator, we will report this to His Majesty. With the example of Concubine Hao, there are still people in the palace who dare to murder a pregnant concubine. Let's see how many heads they have!"
Concubine Sun looked at Shen Zhinian and asked nervously, "Sister Concubine Chen, who do you think did this?"
Although Doctor Tang is already investigating, she won't be able to sleep or eat well until the person behind the incident is found!
Shen Zhinian ordered Fuqiu: "Go and call Xiao Mingzi over."
"Yes!"
Soon, Xiao Mingzi arrived. After paying his respects, he asked with a smile, "…I wonder what instructions the Majesty has for me?"
Although Shen Zhinian was not prepared to intervene in the investigation in order to avoid alerting the enemy, it was still possible to learn something from Xiao Mingzi: "Do you know the three apprentices of the Imperial Doctor Tang?"
Xiao Mingzi has a wide network of contacts in the palace, and he knows some news, big and small. Tang Luochuan is Shen Zhinian's confidant, and he is a pharmacist who works for him. How could Xiao Mingzi not know him?
"My lady, Xiao Chenzi is an honest and decent person. He is the kind of person who can't even fart even if you hit him with three sticks. His interpersonal relationships are also simple. I haven't heard that he is particularly close to anyone."
"Xiao Xiangzi is a bit slick, but he has a very good memory. He can remember all kinds of medicinal materials and prescriptions clearly, and is highly valued by the imperial physician Tang."
"There is nothing special about Xiao Fangzi's character. He works diligently in the Imperial Hospital and has never made any mistakes. But I recently heard a piece of gossip..."
Concubine Sun asked curiously, "What gossip?"
Xiao Mingzi said with a smile: "I heard that Xiao Fangzi recently formed a lover with a palace maid. But he kept it a secret and told everyone that it was a rumor. No one knows who his lover is now."
