The palace maid was startled and stood there like a log. She looked at Shen Luoxi in confusion and saw Shen Luoxi striding towards her.
Shen Luoxi reached for the bird's nest, scooped up a spoonful and smelled it. His eyes turned cold when he looked at the palace maid.
"Where did you get this bird's nest?"
"Imperial dining room..." the palace maid said tremblingly.
When Cang Chenru heard Shen Luoxi ask this question, he immediately realized that there was something wrong with the bird's nest.
He frowned and looked at the palace maid, "Did you see the imperial chef pour the bird's nest into the bowl with your own eyes? Did you meet anyone on the way back?"
Concubine Wen saw Shen Luoxi and Cang Chenru interrogating the palace maid with sullen faces, and asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Shen Luoxi said coldly: "There is poison in this bird's nest."
When the palace maid heard this, she was so frightened that she quickly threw the bird's nest in her hand to the ground, then knelt down and begged for mercy: "When I went to the royal kitchen, the bird's nest was packed, and I didn't meet anyone on the way here..."
"This slave doesn't know anything! Please spare your life, Princess Xuan, His Highness the Seventh Prince!"
Shen Luoxi turned to look at Cang Chenru, "Can you trouble the Seventh Prince to go to the imperial dining room?"
Cang Chenru nodded and walked out of Changle Palace without hesitation.
Shen Luoxi asked the maid a few more questions, but she really didn't know anything, so she asked the maid to leave.
She took out a piece of test paper from the space and dipped it on the bird's nest on the ground. Seeing that the test paper unexpectedly turned blue, she just silently put the test paper away and walked to Concubine Wen's bedside.
"Luoxi, what kind of medicine is in that bird's nest?" Concubine Wen asked fearfully.
"A vicious medicine that hurts the body and causes miscarriage." Shen Luoxi replied, "Concubine Wen, it seems that someone knows that you are pregnant."
Concubine Wen subconsciously touched her belly, "Should I tell the emperor about this?"
Shen Luoxi thought for a moment and then nodded.
"When such a big thing happens, we should really tell the emperor. I will send someone to invite the emperor. When the emperor comes, I will also ask Concubine Wen to cooperate with me." Shen Luoxi said.
Concubine Wen nodded.
Soon, the Emperor and His Highness the Seventh Prince walked into Changle Palace.
Shen Luoxi supported Concubine Wen and saluted, "See you, Your Majesty."
"I heard from the palace maid who sent the message that Concubine Wen has something important to tell me."
Concubine Wen's cheeks were slightly red, and she said a little shyly: "My concubine is pregnant."
The emperor's eyes widened slightly when he heard this. He stepped forward and gently placed his hand on Concubine Wen's belly, "Seriously?"
"Princess Xuan saw it when she diagnosed my pulse. I don't dare to lie."
The emperor glanced at Shen Luoxi and said, "Princess Xuan has excellent medical skills, so she must be right."
"How long?"
Shen Luoxi replied, "Less than a month."
The emperor secretly calculated the time, and could not hide the joy on his face, "Okay, I will immediately ask the imperial doctor to serve you until the baby is born."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm just a concubine... I really don't trust the imperial doctor in the palace..." Concubine Wen said in a low voice.
The emperor frowned, "What's wrong?"
Concubine Wen looked at Shen Luoxi, and Shen Luoxi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, when I was diagnosing Concubine Wen's pulse just now, the palace maid brought a bowl of bird's nest from the imperial kitchen. Unexpectedly, there was an abortion medicine in the bird's nest. .”
"After all, the imperial doctor in the palace is a man and is not as careful as I, so I asked the emperor to allow me to take care of Concubine Wen during the pregnancy."
The emperor's face darkened, "Who did it?"
Shen Luoxi glanced at Cang Chenru, and then he stepped forward and said seriously: "Father, I just went to the imperial dining room to inquire. Before the maids of the mother concubine went to get the bird's nests, only the maids of Concubine Jin went to the imperial dining room. house."
"Only I, the prince, and His Highness the Seventh Highness know that Concubine Wen is pregnant." Shen Luoxi added: "Originally, Concubine Wen wanted to wait until the fetal image was stable before telling the emperor the good news. Unexpectedly, someone wanted to Kill the emperor’s heir.”
"Concubine Wen has a delicate body. If she drinks the bird's nest accidentally, she will probably die."
The emperor frowned slightly and called the eunuch at his side, "Go and tell Concubine Jin to copy ten volumes of scripture for me and pray for me."
"Ask some more guards to come over and let her meditate and copy the scriptures."
The eunuch nodded and ran out of Changle Palace.
The emperor turned to look at Concubine Wen, with a touch of tenderness in his brows and eyes, "These days, you can take care of your fetus with peace of mind. If you need anything, tell me. From today on, your fetus will be taken care of by Princess Xuan."
"You have a simple mind and have been in the palace for many years without fighting for it. I am very pleased."
Concubine Wen said softly: "As long as I can accompany the emperor, I will feel at ease."
The emperor smiled and talked with Concubine Wen for a long time before getting up to deal with state affairs.
Shen Luoxi watched him go away, then stood up.
She looked at Concubine Wen, who was still immersed in the emperor's tenderness, and reminded her softly: "Concubine Wen, since the emperor knows that you are pregnant, everyone in the palace knows about it. In the future, there will only be a lot of people watching the empress in the dark. few."
"So please remember, if you want to keep the fetus, you must not eat anything that has not passed through the hands of His Highness Seventh Prince."
Concubine Wen responded seriously, and then Shen Luoxi turned around and left.
Cang Chenru sent her out of the palace, "Thank you very much, sister-in-law, for today."
"Since I promised the prince to take care of Concubine Wen, I will naturally do my best." Shen Luoxi looked at him, "It's just that unlike His Highness the Seventh, I can't always be by Concubine Wen's side. Please pay more attention to your surroundings."
"I see."
Shen Luoxi said no more, stood up and walked onto the carriage.
Back at the palace, Shen Luoxi's eyebrows showed a little tiredness. Xiao Yueze looked at her worriedly, and then whispered: "I'll make some soothing tea for the princess later."
Shen Luoxi smiled, "I'm fine."
The two walked into the courtyard, and she looked up and saw Cang Yunxuan.
She rolled her eyes calmly and strode forward.
"Concubine Wen is fine, but Concubine Jin probably found out that Concubine Wen was pregnant, so she sent a bowl of bird's nests filled with abortion pills."
Cang Yunxuan frowned and wanted to say something, but stopped when she saw Xiao Yueze who looked like a door god behind Shen Luoxi.
"Go out, the king and the princess have something to say."
Xiao Yueze was unmoved and still stood upright behind Shen Luoxi.
"you!"
"He is my bodyguard. He wants to protect me personally. Where does the prince want him to go?" Shen Luoxi said coldly.
Cang Yunxuan's face was gloomy, "Shen Luoxi, don't let me repeat this a second time."
Shen Luoxi did not answer, but continued: "This is not the first time that Concubine Jin has taken action against Concubine Wen. We should think of some ways to make it impossible for Concubine Jin to do anything again."
She told Cang Yunxuan what happened in the palace, and Cang Yunxuan tightened her hands under her robe. Knowing that Shen Luoxi would not let Xiao Yueze leave, he could only hold it down temporarily.
Compared with Xiao Yueze's inseparability, the mother-in-law and the fetus in her belly are more important.
"Concubine Jin cares most about her daughter. As long as she grasps this weakness, she can naturally be manipulated." Cang Yunxuan said coldly.
