Lian Hai trembled as he watched from the side, occasionally observing the emperor's expression. A single word from Imperial Physician Xu could decide their life or death.

"Xu Aiqing, do you have any results?" Seeing that Imperial Physician Xu had stopped daydreaming, Helian Xi asked impatiently.

"Return... Return to the Emperor, stillborn … The stillborn child didn't look like the empress at all. It was already nine months since the empress had given birth to a child, but this one looked like it was at most seven months, so …

"Ah …" Lian Hai was shocked and quickly kneeled down. "Your Majesty, this is indeed the dead baby of the empress. This servant absolutely does not dare to lie to you. Your Majesty, please enlighten me."

Lian Hai was frightened out of his wits. The medicine had been personally fed by him and Imperial Physician Xu. If the child wasn't born of the empress, then that would mean … No, he wouldn't. The dead baby he had brought back with so much effort couldn't be fake. Those little bastards definitely wouldn't dare to lie to him.

"We have no intention of blaming you for you going down." A peculiar glow appeared in Helian Xi's eyes. He knew that this woman, this dead baby, was definitely not a girl. She would definitely think of a way to save the child.

"Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty, have mercy! This servant …" This servant will take his leave. " Lian Hai was still in a state of shock. At first he thought that the emperor was going to kill him, but when the emperor's words entered his ears, he left in pleasant surprise.

"Xu Aiqing, are you sure that the test is correct? It has been September since the queen conceived her baby, and it is only July now? " After Lian Hai left, Helian Xi Chen asked the imperial physician again.

"In reply to Your Majesty, this subject is very certain. I hope Your Majesty can spare Eunuch Lian's life." Imperial Physician Xu didn't know the real intention of the emperor's question, but he was pleading on Lian Hai's behalf.

"The deceased are already dead, I have a score in my heart. Pass down the order, the empress will suffer an accident in the palace, both mother and child will be harmed." Helian Yi waved her hand, ordering Imperial Physician Xu to withdraw. He had to think carefully and think about who could save her in such a short period of time, especially when she was under everyone's watchful eyes.

The answer was obvious, but it was also unreasonable. Originally, in order to prevent this from happening, he had purposefully kept Jiu Yu busy, unless … Unless he had a clone.

He had already laid layers upon layers of enchantments in the palace. As long as one was from the Illusory Realm, as long as there was wind or grass rustling, he would know. But for ordinary humans, it would be even more difficult to enter the palace.

"Lian Hai, immediately check with me to see which women in the palace are pregnant." The more he thought about it, the more fear he felt. If there was someone who could freely enter and leave the palace, then that person would be too terrifying. If they were enemies, then they would be the biggest enemy outside of Jiu Yu.

"Lianhai, Lianhai …" Seeing no one respond and calling out to him a few more times, he then remembered that he had already made that servant leave.

"Servant is here...

Helian Yi opened the door and Lian Hai ran over in panic.

"I want you to investigate right now. Aside from the empress, who else is pregnant in this harem? No woman is allowed to be left out." Helian Yi said solemnly.

"Yes, your servant will do it right away."

Lian Hai rolled and crawled away from Phoenix Cry Palace. Helian Yi no longer questioned the people from Phoenix Cry Palace. He would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, not just because of the little girl, but also because of this powerful enemy.

He ordered his guards to guard Phoenix Cry Palace and prevent anyone from entering or exiting, while he returned to Long Xiang Palace first. After returning, he wrote down a few suspicious characters on the paper. Whether they were from the Illusory Realm or the Mortal Realm, there were only a few people that could make him write them down, but no one could do so.

Unless... Helian Yi placed the two characters on a piece of paper and connected them together with a pen. However, he immediately rejected the idea. That was impossible.

No matter how much Jiu Yu despised humans, they were still humans. He would never join hands with others because he had always thought that he was a noble and noble person. Humans were always lowly and lowly, and there was no way for them to cooperate with humans.

Looking at the time, in such a short period of time, that person had to quickly come to know of everything that had happened, and in this short period of time, not even four hours had passed.

It was not easy to arrange for these people to be sent to the palace within these four hours, let alone to move them out.

Yes, perhaps the little girl is still in the palace. It must be that, in such a short period of time, she won't be able to leave. The barrier was still there. If she wanted to leave, she had to leave from the palace gate …

"Men, pass down the order to seal off all the palaces. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order." Helian Yi Chen shouted. At the same time, he wadded up the papers on the table filled with names.

"Girl, I must find you. You can leave, but my son will not let you take him away." Watching the guards leave, the red brush in Helian Xi Chen's hands turned into powder. He would never allow anyone to do such an outrageous thing in front of him.

Even if he didn't want anything to happen to the girl, the two matters shouldn't be confused. Who was the person controlling the situation from behind the scenes?

After Helian Yi stayed in the palace for a while, he decided to search for the little girl who might be hidden somewhere within the palace. If she hadn't left, there would definitely be someone in the palace who knew about it.

After leaving Long Xiang Palace, he used his mana to raise his superpower to its limit. As a result, he knew that no one would be able to escape from him. Even if the little girl disguised herself and hid somewhere, it would still be useless.

From the Long Xiang Palace to the most remote cold palace, from the north to the south, from east to west, he had gone all over the place. It was already dark by now, but he still hadn't heard any news of this girl.

Other than the people in the palace feeling fear towards him, there was nothing else. Only the few palace maids beside the little girl felt resentment towards him. However, it was only resentment, and he did not sense anything else.

Those palace maids all thought that the empress had died. Who was it? How did he do it, how did he take the girl away? Was it on the way back to Phoenix Cry Palace after leaving Longxiang Palace?

"Someone, come." Helian Xi Chen said to the outside.

"Your majesty, this servant is here." The eunuch immediately bowed in response.

"Where's Lianhai?" Helian Yi said unhappily.

"Reporting to the emperor, even the eunuchs have gone to work in the palaces and haven't returned yet. This servant is going to spread the news right now?" The young eunuch hurriedly replied. They all said that they were afraid to accompany a Monarch like a tiger.

"There's no need. When he returns, tell him to come see me immediately. Also, instruct us to call for food." Since he didn't find any information, he could only wait for Lian Hai's information. Although he checked the palaces, but he didn't go to such places as the raccoon department, embroidery rooms, or the palaces. Perhaps he could hide somewhere.

"Your majesty, there's a message from the empress dowager's palace. She invites you to come over for dinner tonight." As soon as the eunuch left the room to carry the message, someone came in to report to him.

"Alright, I'll drive the Palace." Helian Yi froze for a moment before he remembered that the empress dowager hadn't gone to the empress dowager's palace. He'd even forgotten that the empress dowager had been poisoned. Who knew, maybe the girl was hiding in the empress dowager's palace.

When he thought of this possibility, Helian Xi Chen's heart was filled with anticipation.

Fushou Palace

"Ah Ze, what is the emperor and empress busy with today? "Why haven't we seen him yet?" From time to time, the empress dowager would look outside the palace. After dinner, she would feel uneasy. Although her body was much better than yesterday, she always felt suffocated.

"Empress Dowager, the emperor's affairs were troubled. When this subject left, the emperor was still in the imperial court, and the empress …" "Since the empress is pregnant, this will …"

Speaking of the empress, Prince Cheng's mind was filled with bloody scenes from Phoenix Cry Palace.

The people he had seen for several hours were now separated by heaven and earth. What had happened to the harem? Looking at the empress's body in the morning, she felt very good. Why did such a big thing happen in just a few hours?

Sigh, that's true, it's all my fault, I always felt that the emperor's heart was tied to the empress, and I don't feel good about it. Besides, the emperor is the ruler of a country, he should have treated the land and mountains as his priority, but he forgot that the empress is a person with a pregnancy, so he needs the emperor to care for her more. Fortunately, the empress is a good child, so she doesn't argue with me. Her Majesty leaned against the bed, her face brimming with the hope of happiness, unaware that her royal grandson had died prematurely.

"Empress Dowager need not worry. The imperial physician said that the empress dowager's body is much better now and the poison's almost cleared. She'll be completely healed after a few more days of rest." Prince Cheng felt uneasy. When he returned, he didn't say anything because he was afraid that the empress dowager wouldn't be able to bear the blow from losing her grandson.

"I wonder who was so daring as to poison my medicine. I wonder if the emperor has found out yet?" The empress dowager was immediately angry when she thought of this. She also knew that someone wanted to use her death to frame the empress. Such a vicious person definitely couldn't stay in the imperial harem, but she didn't know that the emperor had not pursued her.

"The emperor has already sent out people to investigate. I believe there will be news soon. Besides, the emperor has also strengthened the management of the kitchen. There won't be any similar situations happening again." Prince Cheng replied cautiously.

He lifted his head to look outside the palace. Right now, only the empress dowager's palace was still quiet. The other palaces had already erupted into an uproar. Even when the emperor had already ordered not to spread the news, the imperial concubines, concubines, and palace maids were still talking nonstop.

Everyone thought that the empress was sitting in the middle palace and that the child in her womb had long been recognized as a prince by the imperial physicians. As long as the child was born, her position in the harem would be assured.

Now that the queen was dead, the palace was empty. The women of the harem were filled with hope. They were all thinking about how they could reach the heavens in a single step, so no one cared.

Moreover, half a year ago, when the Emperor was dealing with Situ Sect, all the concubines had been anxiously staring at that son of his. Now that they had seen hope, how could they care about how the empress died?

"Imperial Physician Liu, has the empress dowager gotten better?" As the empress dowager was chatting with Prince Cheng, the emperor's words to the imperial physician came from outside the palace. It turned out that Helian Yi Chen was afraid of disturbing the empress dowager, so the palace maid didn't report him.

Just when Helian Xi had bathed the entire palace in search of Luo Xue, Luo Xue had already left the Imperial Palace. He had thought of all the possible people, but he had missed the one person closest to him.
