Caiwei described every meal Shen Nianshu had in the past few days in detail, including what she ate and drank .

After hearing this, the imperial doctor frowned, as if he was thinking about some possibility.

He ran his fingers lightly over his beard.

Suddenly, he said,

"There is nothing wrong with these foods on their own, and they are all great supplements. But if they are eaten together, they will conflict with each other and lead to miscarriage."

Shen Nianshu's face instantly turned pale, and her fingers clung to the edge of the bed.

In front of her eyes, the food on the table in the past few days appeared in front of her eyes. Those brightly colored and fragrant dishes were as frightening as poison at the moment.

He turned to look at Shen Nianshu, his eyes full of concern and worry, "Have you had any discomfort in the past few days? Do you feel dizzy, weak or have chest tightness?"

Shen Nianshu nodded, " A little bit last night."

She didn't pay too much attention to those subtle discomforts at the time, just thinking that they were caused by physical fatigue recently.

She gently caressed her flat belly, which once held a new life but was now empty.

She closed her eyes and tears fell from the corners of her eyes, wetting the pillow.

" My dear Concubine Shu, this is the decoction prescribed for you. You must take it on time and take good care of yourself first." The imperial doctor handed the prescription to Cai Wei .

Caiwei nodded in agreement and carefully took the prescription.

"Also, the food ministers who are incompatible with each other are roughly listed. The empress must pay more attention to them now. The ministers will retire first."

Shen Nianshu was lying on the bed, her face still pale.

"Thank you, doctor." Shen Nianshu's voice was a little hoarse.

Shen Nianshu turned her head slightly, and her eyes fell on Caiwei who was standing beside the bed. Caiwei lowered her head and her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was trying to hold back her tears.

"Caiwei..." Shen Nianshu called softly.

Caiwei raised her head, her eyes were red and her lips were pursed. She walked to Shen Nianshu's bed, knelt down, clenched her hands into fists and placed them on her knees.

"Mother, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'm not good. I should have paid more attention." Caiwei 's voice was filled with deep self-blame and regret.

Shen Nianshu felt a pain in her heart, she reached out her hand and gently held Caiwei 's hand.

"This is none of your business. It's obvious that someone did this on purpose." Shen Nianshu's tone was gentle but firm.

Caiwei looked up at Shen Nianshu, her eyes full of gratitude and respect.

"The Emperor has arrived~"

Bai Nanyu 's eyes fell on Shen Nianshu's pale and haggard face, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

The emperor walked to the bed and sat down, stretched out his hand to hold Shen Nianshu's hand, and said in a low voice, " Concubine Shu, I heard that, and I am also very sad."

Shen Nianshu raised her head slightly, with a flash of determination in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I believe this was not an accident, but someone did it deliberately."

The emperor frowned slightly, his eyes revealing deep thoughts.

"Come here, check it out for me. Make sure you get to the bottom of it."

Shen Nianshu leaned on Bai Nanyu 's shoulder, her voice weak and trembling, "Your Majesty, our child...is gone."

Bai Nanyu 's heart suddenly shrank, and he held Shen Nianshu's hand tightly. His eyes were full of guilt and self-blame, " Concubine Shu, it was me who failed to protect you and the child."

Shen Nianshu shook her head, her eyes showing firmness and determination, "Your Majesty, I don't blame you, I just hope that you can find out the truth and seek justice for our children."

Bai Nanyu was silent for a while, then nodded slowly, "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth, and I won't let you suffer in vain."

When a beautiful woman sheds tears, which man would not feel distressed?

Bai Nanyu frowned , knowing that he couldn't stay here for long. He gently stroked Shen Nianshu's hair and said softly, " Concubine Shu, you have a good rest first. I have political affairs to deal with. I will come back to see you another day."

"Your Majesty, go ahead."

…

Pearl turned to look at Shen Nianshu lying on the bed, her eyes full of worry.

"Miss, what's going on, Your Majesty? He obviously doesn't take this matter to heart. He thought he would take you out of the cold palace this time." Pearl said with a frown.

Shen Nianshu smiled slightly, "Maybe in his opinion, him coming to see me is already a gift to me."

Caiwei carefully walked into the dormitory with the steaming bowl of medicinal soup.

There were still undried tears on her face.

She walked to the bed and gently placed the medicine bowl next to Shen Nianshu's hand.

"Mother, please drink the medicine first."

Shen Nianshu nodded.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She finished the extremely painful medicine in one gulp.

Pearl took out a piece of candied fruit from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Nianshu's lips.

"Miss, eat it, it will be bitter first and then sweet."

Shen Nianshu lay quietly on the bed, looking out the window at the darkening sky.

Her heart was filled with endless thoughts, like a mess that was difficult to untie.

She knew that she couldn't stay in the cold palace like this. She must find a way to find the real culprit and seek justice for her child.

Suddenly, her fingers stopped, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She thought of someone who could help her.

A trace of determination flashed in Shen Nianshu's eyes. She turned to look at Caiwei, her voice was low and powerful, " Caiwei , you must find a way to see the imperial concubine and give her a message."

Caiwei was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The second day.

Shen Nianshu woke up early, knowing that Shen Nianwan would definitely come.

The sky outside the window is still glowing with a faint blue.

After a while, there were gentle footsteps outside the door.

Shen Nianshu raised her head and looked at the door.

The door slowly opened, and Shen Nianwan's figure appeared at the door. She was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, with a faint smile on her face, as if the spring breeze was blowing on her face.

Shen Nianshu smiled slightly, stood up and faced Shen Nianwan. The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they were sisters reunited after many years.

"I, my concubine, see you, the noble concubine."

Shen Nianwan waved her hand, and she and Shen Nianshu went in alone to talk.

Shen Nianshu smiled slightly.

"Sister, please believe me, sister."

"Oh? Then tell me, why should I trust you? Why would you, Shen Nianshu, be so kind?"

Shen Nianshu spoke slowly.

"Everyone knows now that the emperor favors Concubine Yun. Soon, if Concubine Yun is pregnant, and the mother is more valuable than the son, it may not be difficult for her to become the queen. And sister, although you are the imperial concubine, you have no children. If If Concubine Yun really gives birth to a prince, I'm afraid your status..."

Shen Nianwan's face changed slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up.

She smiled softly, as if she didn't care, " Concubine Shu, you worry too much. How can a little Concubine Yun shake my status? Moreover, it seems that this is not your business. Let’s do something.”

Shen Nianshu shook her head gently, looking directly into Shen Nianwan's eyes, "Sister, you are wrong. If you thought so much, you wouldn't come to me today."

Shen Nianwan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she stared at Shen Nianshu closely, as if she wanted to read her mind.

"Oh? Then tell me, what can you do?"

Shen Nianshu smiled slightly, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

"Sister, we can join forces."

Shen Nianwan frowned slightly, she seemed a little confused.

"Join forces? Why do I want to join forces with you?"

Shen Nianshu smiled softly, her voice low and powerful.

"Because we have a common enemy."

Shen Nianwan's eyes focused , and she seemed to be moved by Shen Nianshu's words.

"go on."

"Sister, I have a kind of fragrance."

Shen Nianwan's brows were raised slightly, and a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

Shen Nianshu continued, "This kind of medicine is colorless and odorless. Even if people from the Imperial Hospital inspect it, they can't detect it. If you put a little bit in the incense burner, it will make people feel hot all over the body and make them unable to control themselves..."

Shen Nianwan's eyes lit up, and she seemed to see a new opportunity.

Shen Nianwan was silent for a while.

"Where did you come from? How do you have this thing?"

"To be honest with my sister, I spent a lot of money to buy this before I entered the palace. Unexpectedly, I haven't used it yet..."

"What do you want to do by helping me so much?"

Shen Nianshu smiled slightly and looked directly into Shen Nianwan's eyes, "I only hope that my sister can help me get out of this cold palace. In the future, I am willing to help my sister get rid of all enemies. After all, how can I be familiar with my sister with outsiders..."

Shen Nianwan smiled, took the things and left.

Caiwei walked in with a trace of worry on her face. She looked at Shen Nianshu and asked softly, "Empress, do you really believe that the imperial concubine will help us? What if she doesn't care about us afterwards?"

Shen Nianshu raised her head, her eyes shining with confidence. She smiled slightly and said softly, "No."

's shoulder gently , indicating that she didn't need to worry too much.
