Ning Qian replied and left in a hurry.
Yun Shang turned to look at Lin Youran and asked softly, "Has anyone come to Xiang Zhu Palace to see you these days?"
After thinking for a while, she gestured to Yun Shang. Yun Shang pondered and frowned. "Her majesty, Lady Xian, Lady Min, the seventh princess?"
Lin Youran nodded while keeping screaming.
Yun Shang could understand why the first ones came to see Lady Hui. But how could Yutong come? Why did Yutong pay a special visit to Lin Youran at the Xiang Zhu Palace? It was really strange
After a while, Ning Qian came back and whispered, "I've given my order."
Yun Shang answered softly. Then she turned to look at Ning Qian. "Lin Youran said that the seventh princess has come to the imperial palace and visited her in the Xiang Zhu Palace, right?"
"Yes." Ning Qian nodded slightly and replied, "She entered the imperial palace yesterday afternoon. After greeting the empress, she went straight to the Xiang Zhu Palace. I thought that the seventh princess is from the Hua clan, and she is a good friend of you, so I brought her here to visit Youran. It's just that she is a little bit quiet and doesn't like to talk much. She chatted with us for a while and then left."
Yun Shang frowned and thought, 'it seems unusual. The seventh prince had not returned for two days. Not daring to enter the palace by herself, Hua Yutong specially went to Prince Rui's mansion to look for her. But this time, she came to the imperial palace by herself and even visited the Xiang Zhu Palace.
Yun Shang thought about it for a while and figured out the possible reason. The seventh prince had heard that something happened to Lin Youran's unborn baby, so he sent Hua Yutong here to check.
But, in this case. I think the seventh prince has nothing to do with the furniture thing. His sending Hua Yutong to inquiry shows that. If it has anything to do with the seventh prince, he wouldn't have done that.
Yun Shang frowned again. Of course, there was another possibility. The seventh prince wanted to frame Hua Yutong. If it was the seventh prince who had committed the crime, Yutong will be suspected as she specially visited Lady Hui yesterday.
Yun Shang kept thinking about it. After a while, a maid came in with a bag of medicine. She looked around and said lightly, "Her highness, there is nothing wrong with Lian Rui. This is the anesthetic she brought here just now. I have been following Lian Rui all the way, and she has never gone to other places. She directly went to the imperial hospital, and came back quickly with the anesthetic."
Ning Qian took the anesthetic over and handed it to Yun Shang. She said to the maid, "Next one."
The maid curtsied and left. Yun Shang took the bowl and kept silent for a while. Then she turned to Lin Youran. "You don't have to scream now. I'll go out and tell her majesty about this. Or I'm afraid she can't help breaking in."
Yun Shang stood up and poured a handful of blood water from the basin on her dress. Then she adjusted her expression and walked out of the door with a certain anxiety.
The empress kept an impatient look, frowning while sitting.
As soon as Lady Xian saw Yun Shang walk out, she hurriedly asked, "Lady Rui, how is Lady Hui?"
Yun Shang curtsied to them in a hurry and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to keep the baby. She is suffering from abdominal pain now. I have to ask her to have some anesthetic to relieve the pain. But it's not a permanent solution. Lady Hui insists to keep the baby. But if we force to keep the baby, I'm afraid even Lady Hui won't survive."
The empress frowned and said coldly, "If she can't survive, how could the baby? Save the mother!"
Yun Shang hurriedly curtsied to her, and went back to her chamber.
Ning Qian unwrapped the medicine bag, handed the anesthetic to Lin Youran, and said with a smile, "You'd better take it to make a show."
Yun Shang frowned at the fragrance of the herb. She immediately stepped forward, snatched the herb and threw it away.
"Your highness?" The other people in the room were all stunned by Yun Shang's action. Yun Shang went to the basin to wash her hands, and then said softly, "Anesthetic should be made of six herbs, datura, raw wild aconite, fragrant angelica root, angelica, rhizoma Chuanxiong and rhizoma arisaematis. Or it could be made of rhododendron, jasmine root, angelica and calamus. However, I smelt musk in the anesthetic."
Ning Qian was surprised and frowned. "Lian Rui did it?"
"No, not Lian Rui." Yun Shang hurriedly said, "the culprit might have found that we are testing the maids and trying to confuse us."
Yun Shang walked quickly to the table, wrote down two prescriptions, and handed them to Ning Qian. "Take this note to the third suspected maid and ask her to give the notes to the imperial physician in the imperial hospital. Tell the physician that I want him to make a prescription and then find a pharmacist to get the medicine. After a while, give the notes to the fourth maid and give her the same order. Then ask Lian Rui who filled the prescription for her."
Ning Qian nodded and went out. Lin Youran looked at Yun Shang timidly and said gently, "Your highness, will the person concerning the furniture take action today?
