This Physician He has always been the mansion’s doctor at Prince Kang’s Mansion.
He is also considered a confidant of Prince Kang.
Physician He raised his head, a troubled expression on his face.
After all, the mastermind behind this could possibly be the Princess Consort!
He does not want to offend anyone.
Prince Kang’s face was grim: "Speak directly, it’s alright, I want to hear the truth!"
Physician He hurriedly knelt down, bowed and reported: "I just examined the uneaten food in Second Aunt’s room."
"There is indeed a small amount of tian nanxing powder residue in it, such drugs can cause miscarriage, forbidden for pregnant women."
"I also checked Second Aunt’s pulse, indeed, it is a sign of miscarriage!"
At these words, everyone in the courtyard was shocked!
Inside the room, lying on the bed, Second Aunt feigned unconsciousness with her eyes closed.
Upon hearing this, she slowly lifted the corners of her lips.
Ever since she infiltrated Prince Kang’s Mansion, she has yet to reveal her methods.
Before this, she had taken a special elixir, which could temporarily change her pulse.
It would also create the illusion of a miscarriage.
As long as the Princess Consort is driven out, she would have the opportunity to win Prince Kang’s complete trust bit by bit.
Then, she would wait for the chance to make Prince Kang’s Mansion the Emperor’s most dangerous presence!
Bai Daoyan, the fourth son, was calm and composed, sensing something was wrong.
He immediately frowned and stepped forward, puzzled: "Is it possible to assume that mother is the culprit just because there is powder residue?"
"Tian nanxing is a common thing, found in shops everywhere, and very cheap."
Bai Daoyan bowed to Prince Kang, his manner refined yet cold: "Father, this must be a setup."
"Mother was unwell last night, and this morning her old ailment of head pain recurred."
"She can’t even care for herself, how could she have the energy to harm others."
Prince Kang’s face was cold as he remained silent.
But the maidservant spoke up again to refute.
"Fourth Young Master, these words are incorrect! The Princess Consort has a noble status, for some matters, all she needs is a command, and someone will act for her!"
"Before, didn’t the Fifth Heir always like to throw insects or dead rats into Second Aunt’s room!"
"It can be imagined that poisoning the food, someone beside the Princess Consort might have done it too!"
"If the Princess Consort refuses to admit, the house servants have already gone to search Qing Lan’s room, we’ll soon have the truth!"
Qing Lan was taken aback and immediately furious: "What gives you the right to search my room!"
The maidservant glared at her smugly.
"What, feeling guilty, afraid to let people investigate?"
At this moment, a group of house servants came rushing from the courtyard.
"Prince, we found a small medicine bottle under the pillow in Qing Lan’s room!"
The bottle was handed to Physician He, and after scrutinizing it for a moment, he nodded gravely: "It’s indeed tian nanxing powder."
The maidservant immediately accused loudly: "Qing Lan, what do you have to deny now, the Princess Consort ordered you to drug Second Aunt, you quietly acted when you were in the kitchen this morning!"
Qing Lan was shocked beyond words: "You’re spewing nonsense! What is this bottle, I’ve never seen it!"
The maidservant implored Prince Kang to take charge: "Prince, look, even now she denies it, poor Second Aunt, still unconscious on the bed!"
The Princess Consort Kang already realized this is a plot against her.
Every retreat has been blocked.
She looked at Prince Kang, her voice deliberately calm with a hidden tremor.
"Bai Nanjing, I’ve been married to you for sixteen years, ask yourself sincerely, am I such a person?"
