After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

"Empress De Fei, what's wrong with you?"

Xiang Rui, the personal maid, has been with Gu Xueyao since she was a child and is very familiar with her every move. The empress is obviously nervous.

"I'm fine. I'll have my breakfast packed and go with me to see General Li."

"Your Majesty, your appetite has been getting worse and worse recently. You'd better eat more." Xiang Rui's eyes were full of distress. Now that her Madam is twin, she should eat more than usual.

"Remove it, I'm full."

Concubine De was seriously ill, and Concubine Xian had a miscarriage last night, which made her appetite even worse.

Xiangrui didn't dare to persuade her any more, and hurriedly ordered people to take away all the food, while she followed Concubine De to the living room.

Li Youwei was sitting in an armchair, holding a cup of tea in his hand but not putting it in his mouth.

The ring jingled, and the elegant fragrance penetrated her nose. Li Youwei turned her head and looked at the door. Concubine De was holding the hand of the palace maid across the threshold.

Li Youwei stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty Li Youwei comes to see Concubine De."

Concubine De hurriedly walked a few steps to help Li Youyi get down, "General Li, there is no need to be polite, please sit down quickly."

"Please, Concubine De, I am here on your Majesty's order to investigate the miscarriage case of Concubine Xian."

Li Youwei did not beat around the bush, but chose to get straight to the point.

Concubine De's hand holding the handkerchief tightened unconsciously, "General Li, could it be that Concubine Xian's child was not dropped, but that she had something hidden?"

"Yes."

Concubine De subconsciously covered her stomach, "General Li, don't worry, I will fully cooperate. If you want to search my residence, please do so."

Xiang Rui held Concubine De's hand tightly to give her strength. Her mother-in-law had not had a good night's sleep since the diagnosis of Ximai.

The women in the harem are so sad. Although it is a good thing to be pregnant with a dragon heir, it is difficult to give birth smoothly. No woman wants to experience the pain of mother and child parting forever.

So seeing Concubine Xian having a miscarriage last night, Concubine De became even more restless, maybe it would be her turn next.

Li Youwei stood up and walked to Concubine De, raised her hand and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you and the child."

Concubine De held Li Youwei's hand and said, "General Li, I believe in you."

Although Li Youwei was a woman, she could give Concubine De an absolute sense of security, which even Huangfu Chenyang could not give her.

Li Youwei's people carefully searched the Defei Palace, and Dr. Wang carefully checked and compared the residues of the anti-fetal medicine.

Soon, the two parties came back and everything was as usual in Xianfei Palace, and nothing suspicious was found. However, the examination results of Dr. Wang made Li Youwei doubt his guess.

The ingredients and proportions of the anti-fetal medicine used by De Fei were consistent with the prescriptions registered in the Tai Hospital.

Li Youwei comforted Concubine De for a while, and then took people to Concubine Shu's palace for inspection.

Zhang Zhizhi admired Li Youwei more than Concubine De. She said nothing and even helped to investigate together. The final result was the same as in Concubine De's palace.

"General Li, although Concubine Xian is annoying, I still feel sorry for her when she lost her child this time."

Zhang Zhizhi has a cheerful temperament, like a little sun. She didn't mean to say this, but she really sympathized with Nalanjiao.

"Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. Poor people must be hateful. Concubine Shu, protect yourself."

Li Youwei was afraid that Zhang Zhizhi would suffer a loss, so he gave some advice.

Concubine Shu smiled, "Thank you, General Li, for reminding me. I understand."

Li Youwei left the Concubine Shu Palace and took people to the Imperial Concubine Palace. The three concubines were pregnant, but Imperial Concubine Qi was not pregnant. In some respects, she was the biggest suspect.

The reason why Li Youwei came to check her last was because Huangfu Chenyang told him to give Concubine Zuqi face, and then check her after everyone else had finished checking her.

When Huangfu Chenyang ascended the throne, Jiang Qi made great contributions, and the dancers she trained are now used by Huangfu Chenyang. Huangfu Chenyang also had to take a high look at such a woman who could not only warm the bed but also be helpful to the country and the country.

In addition, Jiang Qi is gentle and kind, and is very good at understanding the emperor's thoughts. Even if she is not pregnant with a dragon heir, her status in the harem is still higher than that of the third concubine.

Jiang Qi heard that Li Youwei was coming, and she was very cooperative.

"General Li, should we check the bedroom or the study first?"

Jiang Qi was a strategic concubine. Not only did her palace have a study room, but it was also decorated by Huangfu Chenyang himself. He would even sometimes handle some of his official duties here.

"Let's go to the study first."

"Yes, I will accompany you."

Jiang Qi led the way, while Li Youwei ordered others to search elsewhere.

It's almost New Year's Eve, and you can exhale a breath of white air when you open your mouth. No one spoke along the way, only the clicking sound of stepping on the bluestone road.

After passing through the last moon door, the study is in front of you. After crossing the high threshold, you enter the courtyard.

There is a ginkgo tree planted in the middle of the courtyard, with some white snow covering it, which makes it a unique beauty.

Jiang Qi opened the door in front, and the scent of ink rushed towards her.

The entire study room is only neatly arranged, with a whole side of bookshelves filled with various books, and many paintings hanging on the walls.

Seeing Li Youwei's eyes falling on those paintings, Jiang Qi bowed her head and explained shyly.

"Your Majesty painted it for me. My figure made General Li laugh."

"Your Majesty, you are humble."

Li Youwei glanced at the paintings on the wall again, and then looked away. The person in those paintings was definitely Jiang Qi, but she always felt that it was a little different from the Jiang Qi in front of her.

Jiang Qi began to introduce the books on the bookshelf again. Some of them were what she liked to read, but most of them were what His Majesty liked to read.

When talking about this, Jiang Qi was like an ordinary woman introducing her husband's preferences.

Jiang Qi said some more, and then waited for Li Youwei to check it herself, and as long as Li Youwei asked, she would definitely respond.

It must be said that among Huangfu Chenyang's four concubines, only Nalanjiao was unreasonable.

Li Youwei checked carefully and quickly, and finally set his sights on the three-legged incense burner at the door.

"My dear concubine, what kind of fragrance is that?"

"Back to General Li, that is a refreshing incense. It has the effect of refreshing the mind. It is His Majesty's favorite incense. But is there any problem?"

Jiang Qi couldn't help but feel a little nervous, as if she was afraid of hurting His Majesty's body.

Li Youwei shook his head, "No problem, I just think it smells good. It does smell good."

Jiang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

After all, this is the place where Huangfu Chenyang often stays. Li Youwei didn't stay for a long time, so he suggested leaving first.

Everyone else had finished checking, and Li Youwei said goodbye to Jiang Qi.

"Your Majesty, please stay here. I'm sorry to bother you today."

"General Li, you are handling the case for His Majesty, and we should cooperate as expected. I just want to ask, should we all stay behind closed doors until the truth is found out?"

"No, I will not restrict the movements of the noble concubine."

"Oh, that's it. I want to go see Sister Xian Fei. I think that's okay, right?"
