Li Chu led the imperial guards to Fanyang. When passing through Caizhou, An Qingxu and Shi Siming arrived with three thousand fine horses, leaving Li Chu with no reason to go to Fanyang, so he had to give up. Cui Caiping suspected that Shen Zhenzhu already knew about her pregnancy and pestered her mother to help her find a solution. Lady Han came up with another wicked plan. She sent Cui Caiping's two maids to the kitchen.
At this time, Su Ci was decocting medicine in the kitchen. One maid picked a quarrel with Su Ci, while the other maid seized the opportunity to put abortifacients into Zhenzhu's medicine pot. He Lingyi passed by outside the kitchen and witnessed the actions of the two maids. Not only did she not stop them, but a triumphant smile also appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Shen Zhenzhu went to Li Chu's study to check his information and learned that after Li Chu's birth mother, Consort Wei, was deposed, he began investigating her father, Shen Yizhi. Coupled with Zhenzhu's previous discovery that the secret symbol in Li Chu's shop was the same as the symbol on the jade whistle she found at home, she became increasingly suspicious that Li Chu might be the true murderer of her family. This speculation frightened Zhenzhu.
Zhenzhu returned to her room with a heavy heart. Before she could drink her medicine, Yao'er came with a message, telling her that Cui Caiping's unborn child might not be safe. Zhenzhu rushed over with Hong Rui and Su Ci. The imperial physician arrived and informed Lady Han that the fetus was no longer safe. He asked Lady Han if Cui Ruren had eaten anything before she experienced severe abdominal pain.
Lady Han thought of the miscarriage-preventing medicine on the table. After checking, the imperial physician stated that there was a large amount of pokeweed in the medicine. Lady Han immediately slapped Zhenzhu, accusing her of using abortifacients to frame Cui Caiping. Zhenzhu was stunned. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and said that if Lady Han hadn't enlightened her, she wouldn't have known that pokeweed could be used to induce abortion.
In fact, Lady Han knew very well that her attempt to harm Zhenzhu had backfired, but she insisted outwardly that Zhenzhu was responsible for Caiping's misfortune. He Lingyi, as the deputy steward of the residence, saw Lady Han's aggressive behavior and suggested inviting Crown Princess Zhang to the residence to preside over the case.
Crown Princess Zhang ordered Steward Zhang Deyu to go to the pharmacy and retrieve both Cui Ruren's and Shen Ruren's medicine pots for the imperial physician to examine. After careful identification, the imperial physician openly stated his surprise, saying that there was no pokeweed in Cui Ruren's miscarriage-preventing medicine, but it was found in Shen Ruren's blood-invigorating and stasis-removing medicine.
Lady Han's expression changed dramatically upon hearing this, but she still insisted that Shen Ruren had done it intentionally, merely to deceive others. Both the Crown Princess and Zhenzhu understood the truth of the matter, but Crown Princess Zhang found it inconvenient to explain, so she had no choice but to interrogate Su Ci. Zhang Deyu learned that Li Chu had returned to the capital and was currently reporting to the Emperor.
He then sent someone to wait outside the palace, and as soon as Li Chu exited the main hall, they immediately reported the situation at the residence to him. When Li Chu returned to the residence, Zhenzhu was kneeling on the ground. Li Chu, who already knew the full story, reprimanded Lady Han. Lady Han still insisted that Zhenzhu was jealous of Cui Caiping and had therefore poisoned her to frame her.
Su Ci couldn't bear it any longer and stated frankly that Zhenzhu had no need to be jealous, because she was also pregnant. She then revealed everything about Lady Han's plot against Zhenzhu. Li Chu reprimanded Lady Han, who brazenly declared that she was the noble consort's sister. Cui Caiping also ran over to plead for mercy. Zhenzhu, exhausted, fainted. Murong Linzhi came to the residence to take Zhenzhu's pulse. She told Prince Guangping that Zhenzhu had miscarried.
Murong Linzhi also found it strange, because Zhenzhu's condition had improved after taking the miscarriage-preventing medicine she had prescribed, but this sudden miscarriage was truly suspicious. Zhenzhu, lying in bed, heard Linzhi's words and lost control of her emotions. She then remembered that the Xuan paper He Lingyi had delivered was soaked in ox-knee herb. Suspecting that the Xuan paper was problematic, she immediately accused He Lingyi.
However, the imperial physician examined the Xuan paper and declared there was no problem. Zhenzhu realized that He Lingyi must have replaced the paper beforehand. Before leaving, He Lingyi quietly whispered in Zhenzhu's ear, telling her that she was Li Chu's closest person.
