After the festival's novelty wore off, Yang Ruxin agreed to stay longer with Gu Qingheng. However, on the night of the fifteenth, Princess Ningzi was discovered with Prince Han, leading to Queen Yunxi fainting. Yang Ruxin is called to the palace to treat the Queen and discusses the suspicious incident with Gu Qingheng, wondering if Prince Han is involved in a larger scheme.

Because on the fifteenth of the first lunar month, the Palace was hosting a family banquet, everyone stayed in the Palace that night.

Yaohua Palace was originally the sleeping chambers of Han King’s mother, Consort Hui. But after Consort Hui passed away ten years ago, the Emperor did not continue to expand the Harem, so Yaohua Palace remained vacant. However, the servants who served Consort Hui in her lifetime are still here, and whenever the Han King enters the Palace, he stays here.

At this time, Yunxiong was lying in the sleeping chamber of Yaohua Palace, her eyes tightly closed, her pale face devoid of any vitality. If it weren’t for the slight rise and fall of her chest, she could be mistaken for a corpse.

Hen Yizheng, along with several Imperial Physicians, waited there, all looking worried. They diagnosed it as a coma brought on by extreme emotional distress, but for some reason, the usual methods failed to awaken the Queen of Han.

When Yang Ruxin entered the room, Hen Yizheng visibly breathed a sigh of relief and explained the situation: "Madam, it’s very strange. The pulse indicates a coma from emotional distress, but neither acupuncture nor medication has any effect."

Yang Ruxin nodded, went over, and sat by the bed. Although she placed her hand on the other’s wrist, she used her mental power. During pregnancy, her abilities disappeared or diminished, but after giving birth, her abilities returned and even began to strengthen.

The pulse she could diagnose was the same as Hen Yizheng said, a coma from emotional distress.

But...

She discovered a little black dot at the heart’s location, very small; if the little thing hadn’t squirmed slightly just now, it would have been impossible to notice.

She was too familiar with such little things—Poisonous Insect.

This meant, Yunxiong was not truly unable to be awakened, but there was a Poisonous Insect at work inside her body.

"How is it?" Hen Yizheng asked quickly as he saw Yang Ruxin retract her fingers.

"It is indeed a coma from emotional distress. But the Queen of Han’s health was always poor; she has taken a lot of medicine and undergone acupuncture many times. Her constitution is different from ordinary people, so normal methods are somewhat ineffective," Yang Ruxin looked at Hen Yizheng. "We must resort to some special means." As for the matter of being affected by a Poisonous Insect, she did not plan to mention it. After all, the implications were significant, and if the Emperor became enraged, many people might be implicated.

It wasn’t because she was merciful, but because the matter seemed bizarre no matter the angle—there was certainly something wrong with the Han King.

But no matter how problematic he was, without solid evidence, the Emperor would not believe, as, after all, they are father and son.

"Special means?" Hen Yizheng furrowed his brow. "What kind of special means?"

"Is Ziyue in the Palace?" Yang Ruxin did not answer.

"Yueyue is with Princess Taihe."

"Have someone bring Ziyue here." Yang Ruxin nodded. Although Jiang Fangfei was no longer needed for a political marriage, the Emperor had not removed her title as a princess but changed it to Princess Taihe, and simultaneously bestowed the title of Princess Taihe upon Qi Zizi as well.

Hen Yizheng, although curious, said nothing more, as it was true that his granddaughter had been learning medicine under her, and she had always regarded Yang Ruxin as her mentor.

Soon, Hen Ziyue arrived, accompanied by Jiang Fangfei and Qi Zizi.

"Master." Hen Ziyue rushed in first but halted immediately upon seeing Hen Yizheng, "Grandfather."

Hen Yizheng nodded slightly but said nothing.
