The news of Imperial Consort Li's miscarriage had instantly spread throughout the palace. It had become the biggest news in the palace, and even became a idle chat between the maids and eunuchs. However, there were some schadenfreude, and some even went mad with joy inside the harem that was surging with undercurrents. Since the womb in Imperial Consort Li was gone, they had one less competitor.

Qin Feng had been taking care of the empress these past few days. The empress's condition had gradually improved, and Qin Feng had become more and more idle.

"Princess, we haven't visited her since the incident in Imperial Consort Li." Qin Chen had always been very considerate when it came to doing things, so naturally, the reason why she said those words was to remind Qin Feng that she should go see the Imperial Consort Li. However, when Qin Feng heard this, he let out a light sigh and said: "If you were a Imperial Consort Li, would you even want me to come visit you? People who are truly good for Imperial Consort Li should choose not to disturb her at this time. Do you think those concubines are sincere when they see her? " Qin Feng spoke with slight ridicule.

Qin Chen said with a tinge of emotion: "They're more likely to be there to watch a joke." Finished speaking, Qin Feng did not say anything, and could be considered to have accepted Qin Chen's words.

Just at this time, under a peach tree in the backyard, there was a person sneakily staring at Qin Feng and Qin Chen. Qin Feng's eyes turned cold as she stared at that person. However, not only was the little eunuch not afraid, she even approached Qin Feng and Qin Chen step by step.

"Fourth Princess, the Queen sent me to send you over to her place. There is something we need to discuss." The young eunuch was extremely secretive, as if he was afraid that someone would see him. Qin Feng frowned, could it be that she had to be sneaky when she went to see the Imperial Consort Li?

Qin Feng asked with a face full of dissatisfaction: "What happened now?"

"Please forgive me, Fourth Princess. Since the incident, she has not shown up since she closed her door. Those empress who came to watch the joke couldn't see her at all, and now they are all paying attention to her every day." What the little eunuch said was true, Qin Feng immediately felt the difficult situation Imperial Consort Li was in right now.

Qin Feng thought for a while, then nodded his head and said: "Alright, I will go with you right now." After she finished speaking, Qin Feng followed the young eunuch through the flower garden and headed towards the Imperial Consort Li's bedchamber.

The young eunuch led Qin Feng and in through the back door. The moment Qin Feng saw Imperial Consort Li, she frowned, it was just that in these few days, she didn't see Imperial Consort Li as he looked more haggard than before. Her skin was as white as a piece of paper, completely bloodless. When the young eunuch went forward to report, Qin Feng could clearly feel that Imperial Consort Li was a little absent-minded.

"You're here? Come and sit down. " When Imperial Consort Li said this, her eyes that looked at Qin Feng became somewhat dull. Qin Feng instructed Qin Chen to retreat, and then walked to the front of the Imperial Consort Li alone.

Qin Feng sighed softly, not knowing how to comfort the Imperial Consort Li. She knew that amongst all the women in the harem, the only one who could give them hope was their child. But the children of the Imperial Consort Li didn't.

"My child is gone, my hope is gone." Imperial Consort Li looked at Qin Feng, and said absentmindedly. Qin Feng knew how Imperial Consort Li was feeling right now, but Qin Feng knew even more that no matter what she said, she wouldn't be able to make up for the pain in her heart.

"You're still young. In the future, there will be plenty of chances to get pregnant with the Dragon school." Qin Feng didn't know what she could say other than this sentence. As a spectator, she was also never interested in the matters of the harem's open and secret struggles. All the women in the harem were hoping to see the Emperor.

Imperial Consort Li suddenly laughed bitterly upon hearing Qin Feng's words, but her expression was even uglier than crying. Imperial Consort Li cried, her emotions as fragile as a child's.

"Another one? "You know how difficult it is for me to beg for this child's help. In the future, when my age is gone, the chances of me getting pregnant will only decrease less and less." When Imperial Consort Li said these words, she seemed to have a sliver of despair towards the future.

"I don't want to live a life where one gets jealous every day in the dark. I only want to rely on my mother, and I want to have someone to rely on. But now, I don't have anything left." Imperial Consort Li's emotions were even more worrisome than before, she had almost fallen into complete despair.

Qin Feng laughed faintly: "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell you all this after you tell me? After that, your Imperial Consort Li will become the target of public criticism in the imperial harem. As they spoke, Qin Feng noticed the Imperial Consort Li raise the corner of her mouth into a sneer and said: "You're not from this imperial harem, and there's no possibility of competing with me. You won't tell anyone."

Once Imperial Consort Li said this, Qin Feng suddenly felt faint sadness.

"The reason you called me here today isn't to complain, but to tell you the truth." Qin Feng did not want to continue with regards to the matter of the child with Imperial Consort Li, so she went straight to the point.

When the Imperial Consort Li heard Qin Feng's words, the expression on her face suddenly stiffened.

"The main reason why I called you here today is because I have something that I want to ask of you." When Imperial Consort Li said this, his eyes that looked at Qin Feng actually had a hint of longing. This made it difficult for Qin Feng to refuse, but Qin Feng knew that the water this time should be very deep.

Qin Feng laughed faintly and rejected Imperial Consort Li's request: "Empress Dowager Imperial Consort Li, I think I know what you want to say, but I am not a person of the palace, and might not be able to agree." Of course Qin Feng knew what the Imperial Consort Li was thinking, it was just that Qin Feng did not like meddling in other people's business, and wanted to wade into the muddy water.

"Qin Feng, it is precisely because you are not a member of this palace that you are worthy of believing in. Otherwise, I really do not know who else is worthy of my trust in this palace." Imperial Consort Li's eyes were filled with tears as she said this. Qin Feng was slightly startled and couldn't help but begin to hesitate.

Imperial Consort Li seemed to have noticed Qin Feng's change and immediately said: "I just want to find out the whole story. I lost my child, how can I not know why my child died?!" Imperial Consort Li was almost at her wit's end, it could be seen how much she saw this child.

"I want to know who did it. I want to avenge my child." Imperial Consort Li's eyes were filled with determination when he said that, it seemed like this time, no one would be able to stop him.

Qin Feng said in a cold voice, "Alright, I can help you, but if this matter were to be leaked out, it would be hard for both of us to escape this calamity." Once Qin Feng said that, the Imperial Consort Li immediately nodded her head in gratitude, and ordered the maidservants to take out the medicine she drank that day to check on Qin Feng.

Qin Feng took the medicine jar, put it close to her nose and took a sniff, frowned, her expression did not look good. What empress said was right, someone had placed coix seed in Imperial Consort Li's medicine, it was edible, there was no special taste, and even if placed inside the medicine, it would not be detected. It was obvious that this person's goal was to slip Imperial Consort Li's womb.

"How is it? I believe you have already discovered that there is an extra pill here." Imperial Consort Li laughed bitterly, but there was a trace of hatred in her eyes.

"Imperial Consort Li, there is indeed an extra pill here. Everyone who has been a doctor can see it." After all, these matters had nothing to do with her, Qin Feng. If not for Imperial Consort Li's repeated pleas, she would definitely not interfere in this matter.

When Imperial Consort Li heard this, tears rolled down her face.

"Yi Ren, just one pill was enough to cause my child to die, causing me to lose my hope, my only hope." Finished speaking, Imperial Consort Li still showed her weakest side, crying like a child in front of Qin Feng.

"I must find out who harmed my child. Who was it that ruthlessly ruined my life!" Imperial Consort Li suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with determination and hatred. The hatred was like a flame, as if it would burn any time it touched it.

Qin Feng let out a light sigh, summoning the Imperial Consort Li's trusted aides to ask, "Did you personally supervise the Imperial Consort Li's meals and medicine?" As Qin Feng spoke, her expression was meticulous, the maids and eunuchs naturally did not dare to hide anything, and only nodded their heads in acknowledgement.

"Then when you were frying medicine, did no one come before?" As long as it's not someone close to Imperial Consort Li, they can be considered as a stranger. " Qin Feng asked coldly, her tone extremely unyielding, because right now, everyone in the harem was suspected, but if it was an outsider who drugged them, then there would definitely be a witness.

The maidservants and eunuchs were all silent, as if there was something very difficult to say. Seeing that, Qin Feng frowned, it looks like there was indeed someone new who passed.

"Fourth Princess, I wonder if the crown prince's people are considered strangers. She only came to find someone, and isn't related to Imperial Consort Li in any way." One of the eunuchs among the group stammered and panicked as he spoke. Hearing that, Qin Feng blurted out: "The crown prince's men? Who are you looking for? "

When the eunuch heard this, he immediately became flustered and stammered for a long time without uttering a single word.

Qin Feng smiled faintly, and said with a slightly mocking tone: "I think you're the one that's come looking for me, right? "Your relationship …" After Qin Feng said this, a complex expression flashed across her eyes. It seems that this palace maid was really suspicious that she had come at this time.

At this moment, within the imperial study, the emperor had already heard about the Imperial Consort Li's miscarriage. However, the emperor only frowned slightly, as if he wasn't very angry about it.

"Your majesty, the Imperial Consort Li Empress has already closed her doors and refused to receive anyone. It looks like the situation isn't going well." Eunuch Li said this from the emperor's side. When the emperor heard this, he lightly sighed and said, "Aren't such things rare in this palace? "You can send someone to investigate right now. As long as you find out who is the most suspicious, report it to me."

Eunuch Li replied and left, leaving the emperor behind with a complicated expression.
