The legitimate daughter returns to the capital and embarks on a splendid life, tearing apart the fak

Yun Jin asked meaningfully, "Physician Zhao, when you took the young prince's pulse just now, did you find anything wrong?"

Physician Zhao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied truthfully, "The young master does indeed have some gastrointestinal discomfort and a slight fever."

Yun Jin raised an eyebrow and continued, "Physician Zhao, in your experience, is the young master's condition normal?"

Physician Zhao's eyelids twitched. He didn't answer immediately, but carefully recalled the prince's pulse before speaking cautiously:

"To be honest, Your Highness, based on my own experience, the young master seems to be experiencing recurring fevers and gastrointestinal discomfort."

This...it shouldn't be like this. Even if a child has convulsions, it shouldn't happen this frequently.

Yun Jin looked at him and said in a low voice, "Physician Zhao, this wouldn't normally happen, but... what if it was done intentionally?"

Upon hearing this, Physician Zhao was taken aback. He lowered his head and remained silent for a long while, his mind racing.

He was merely a royal physician and had no desire to get involved in the intrigues of the inner court, but the current situation was not something he could simply wash his hands of.

After much deliberation, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, rest assured, if His Highness asks about today's events, I will tell you the truth."

Yun Jin nodded; this was exactly what she wanted.

She was originally thinking about how to help Shen Qingyun deal with Zheng Yu, but this woman insisted on coming forward today.

Just then, Gui Xiang and Dong Xue returned with their entourage.

Gui Xiang, her face ashen, held a paper package in her hands and walked up to Yun Jin, whispering, "Princess, we found this under Granny Liu's bed."

Yun Jin took the paper package, opened it, glanced at it, and then handed it to Physician Zhao.

Physician Zhao leaned closer to smell it, then rubbed a little on his tongue with his fingertip and tasted it. His expression immediately changed: "It really is safflower. If this amount were put into the medicine, the mother would definitely suffer severe bleeding. Not to mention the fetus, even the mother's life would be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyun turned pale with fright. If Yun Jin hadn't warned her, she would have been dead today.

Yun Jin looked at the old woman being held captive in the corridor and said, "Old Liu, this safflower was found under your bed. Will you confess yourself, or do I need someone to pry your mouth open?"

The old woman's legs went weak, but she still insisted on crying out her innocence: "Your Highness, please be wise! I am innocent! That thing is not mine! Someone must have framed me!"

Yun Jin was too lazy to waste words with her, so she gave Dongxue and Hongling a wink, and the two of them stepped forward and picked up the old woman.

Yun Jin took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Dong Xue, saying coldly, "Separate the three of them and interrogate them individually. If they don't confess, force-feed them this poison. Disloyal servants have no reason to live. Keeping them alive is just a menace."

The old woman's face turned deathly pale as she struggled and screamed, "Princess, you can't do this! I belong to the Crown Prince's wife; you are an outsider and have no right to punish me!"

Yun Jin sneered, slowly walked up to her, looked down at her, and spoke in a calm tone that carried a chilling coldness:

"You all want to harm my sister Shen. Do you think she will let you off? Do you really think my sister Shen is weak and easy to bully?"

She's usually kind-hearted and doesn't have the heart to scold you when you do wrong. But today, you want to harm her unborn child. Do you think she can swallow this insult? Hmph, you're overestimating yourselves! Take her away!"

Without further hesitation, Dongxue and Hongling, together with Chunzhi, dragged the three of them out.

Shen Qingyun propped herself up from the couch, looked at Yun Jin, and sighed, "Jin-meimei, you're right. I'm usually too soft-hearted, and I almost hurt my own child again."

Yun Jin walked to her bedside and said gently, "Sister, I believe that after today, no one will dare to look down on you anymore."

She paused, leaned close to her ear, and whispered a reminder, "Sister, if Zheng Yu comes over, don't say anything, just cry, and leave the rest to me."

Shen Qingyun nodded solemnly.

Just then, Gui Xiang's voice rang out from outside the door: "Your Highness, my master is unwell and is resting. You cannot come in..."

Before Gui Xiang could finish speaking, Zheng Yu interrupted her, her tone full of displeasure: "How dare you! Is there anywhere in this manor I can't go? My sister is unwell, and as her younger sister, it's my duty to visit her. How dare you, a mere maid, stop me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain was suddenly flung open from the outside.

Zheng Yu strode in with two maids. As soon as she entered, her eyes quickly scanned the room.

Seeing Shen Qingyun lying on the bed with her hair disheveled and her face pale, Physician Zhao stood by with his hands hanging down, looking worried. Yun Jin stood by the bed with her eyes slightly red and looking regretful.

She was secretly pleased; Shen Qingyun's child was probably gone.

She could barely suppress her tears as she spoke, her voice filled with anguish, "Sister, I was terrified when I heard you weren't feeling well. It's all my fault. If Yi'er hadn't suddenly developed a fever and started crying again today, I wouldn't have had to send someone to fetch Physician Zhao. If Physician Zhao had been with you then, you wouldn't have..."

Shen Qingyun lay on the bed, not even glancing at her. Yun Jin was afraid that Shen Qingyun wouldn't be able to cry, so she quickly went over and sat down next to Shen Qingyun, comforting her: "Sister, don't be sad, take care of yourself."

Zheng Yu scoffed inwardly, then turned to Physician Zhao and asked anxiously, "Physician Zhao, how is my sister? Is the child alright?"

Physician Zhao simply shook his head, let out a long sigh, and looked as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Zheng Yu became increasingly certain that Shen Qingyun's child was gone.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she looked at Yun Jin and said meaningfully, "Princess, what a coincidence that you came today. It just so happens that my sister had an accident right after you arrived..."

She paused, picked up a handkerchief and touched the corner of her mouth, then said, "Princess, please don't take it to heart. I just feel that this matter is suspicious. After all, my sister is carrying the imperial heir, and His Majesty and the Empress are very concerned. If His Highness asks, you will have to have an explanation."

Yun Jin sneered, her smile ambiguous, and said, "What does Consort Zheng mean by that? To me, it sounds like you're saying that Sister Shen's pregnancy-stabilizing medicine was tampered with, and that I'm involved?"

Zheng Yu waved her hands repeatedly, her face showing a wronged expression: "Princess, please don't misunderstand, I had no such intention. I just felt that this matter was strange. Princess, you are my sister's good younger sister, and naturally you wish my sister well."

But those words sounded sarcastic and unsettling no matter how you looked at them.

Yun Jin sneered: "Consort Zheng's words have reminded me. Before I came, Sister Shen was perfectly fine; after I came, there was safflower added to the pregnancy-preserving medicine."

But why do I find Consort Zheng more suspicious than myself? You just summoned Physician Zhao, and now Sister Shen's medicine has run into problems. Isn't that a coincidence, Consort Zheng? It's a coincidence so great it could be a storybook.
