Li Chu led the imprisoned guards to Fanyang, passing through Caizhou, An Qingxu and Shi Siming arrived with three thousand good horses, which gave Li Chu no reason to go to Fanyang again, so he had to give up.
Cui Caiping suspects that Shen Zhenzhu already knows that she is pregnant, and clamoring to ask her mother for help. The Korean lady makes a living again. She sends two of Cui Caiping’s maids to the kitchen. At this time, Bisque is making medicine in the kitchen. Nothing to look for, and quarreling with the bisque, another maid took the opportunity to put abortion pills in the pearl medicine jar. He Ling walked past the kitchen and saw the actions of the two maids. Not only did she not stop her, she also showed a smug smile on the corners of her mouth.
Shen Zhenzhu went to Li Chu’s study to check Li Chu’s information and learned that after Li Chu’s mother and concubine Webster was abolished, he began to check his father, Shen Yizhi, plus the secret symbols and symbols that Pearl found in Li Chu’s shop before. The symbols on the jade whistle found at home are the same, and they increasingly suspect that Li Chu may be the real culprit who killed his family. This speculation scared Pearl.
Zhenzhu returned to her room with great anxiety. Before she had time to drink the medicine, Yao’er sent a letter telling her that the fetus in Cui Caiping’s belly might be insecure, and Pearl hurried over with Hongrui and Bisque. The imperial doctor arrived and told Mrs. Korea that the fetus was no longer insured, and asked Mrs. Korea what she had eaten before Cui Ru had an unbearable abdominal pain. The Korean lady thought of the anti-fetal medicine on the table. After the imperial physician inquired, she said that there were a large amount of Phytolacca in the anti-fetal medicine.
The Korean lady immediately slapped Pearl and accused Pearl of using the abortion medicine to frame Cui Caiping. Pearl was stunned. Fortunately, Pearl was quick to react. She said that if she hadn’t enlightened her from Korea, she didn’t even know that Shanglu had abortions. In fact, the Korean lady knew that she did not harm the pearls, and instead lifted a rock to hit her in the foot. But on the surface, she insisted that the pearls had harmed the color screen. As the deputy chief of the mansion, He Lingyi saw that the South Korean wife was aggressive, and suggested that the Crown Princess Zhang should come to the mansion to interrupt the case.
The crown prince Zhang asked Zhang Deyu to go to the pharmacy. He brought both Cui Ruren and Shen Ruren’s medicine jars and asked the emperor to appraise them. After careful identification, the emperor bluntly said strangely, indicating that there is no pokeweed in the Cui Ruren’s antifetal medicine, but instead Shanglu was found in Shenru’s medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
The Korean lady heard this and her expression had changed drastically, but she still said that this was deliberately done by Shenru, just to cover people’s eyes. The princess and Pearl both understood the cause of the matter, but Zhang was inconvenient to explain and had to ask the bisque.
Zhang Deyu learned that Li Chu had returned to Beijing, and was reporting to the emperor at this time, so he sent someone to wait outside the palace. When Li Chu left the hall, he hurriedly reported the situation of the palace to Li Chu.
When Li Chu returned to the mansion, Pearl was kneeling on the ground. Li Chu, who already knew the ins and outs of the matter, accused Mrs. South Korea. Mrs. South Korea still insisted that Pearl was jealous of Cui Caiping, so she prescribed medicine to frame her. Bisque couldn’t listen to it, and she bluntly said Pearl doesn’t need to be jealous at all, because she was also pregnant, and she told her all about the Korean lady’s framed Pearl. Lee Chun accused the Korean lady, and the Korean lady frantically stated that she was the imperial concubine’s sister, Choi Caiping. She also ran to intercede, and Pearl was exhausted and fainted.
Murong Linzhi came to the house to check Pearl’s pulse. She told King Quang Binh that Pearl had a miscarriage. Murong Linzhi also found it strange, because Pearl took the anti-fetal medicine she prescribed and her condition had improved, but this sudden miscarriage was really strange. When Pearl lying on the bed heard Lin Zhi’s words, she lost control of her emotions. Then she remembered that the rice paper He Lingyi sent had been soaked in hyssop.
Suspicious that there was a problem with the rice paper, she immediately accused He Lingyi. But the imperial doctor checked the rice paper and said that there was no problem, and Pearl realized that He Lingyi must have replaced the paper in advance. Before leaving, He Lingyi quietly attached to Pearl’s ear, telling her that he was the closest person to Li Chu.
