"Then how did it spread in the palace??" Ye Qiqi continued to ask: "Who was the first to know the news about this medicine??"
"Yes... yes..." The palace maid trembled and closed her eyes. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "I really don't know anything. Please kill me."
“…”
Ye Qiqi narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
The palace maid's body was clearly trembling with fear, but her eyes were tightly closed, with a look of determination on her face.
Ye Qiqi sneered, turned around and walked to the table in the room, sat down, and with the dim light of the lantern outside the window, said to the palace maid: "Killing you is naturally easy, but since You already know that I am the emperor, so don’t forget that in addition to killing you, I can also kill your family.”
As soon as Ye Qiqi said these words, the palace maid's body trembled subconsciously.
"Your brothers, sisters, parents and elders..." Ye Qiqi's voice paused, then smiled, and continued: "But they will all die with you because of your words."
"Your Majesty!!" The palace maid suddenly opened her eyes and looked at her with a pleading expression: "Please don't kill my family, slave... slave..."
"Oh, are you going to say it or not??" Ye Qiqi sneered and reached out to take off the black mask covering his face.
The palace maid stared at her face for a while, then suddenly kowtowed to her and said: "Slave... After I tell you, will the emperor let my family go?"
"Okay." Ye Qiqi looked at her lightly and responded.
The palace maid closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly said to Ye Qiqi: "Back then, the cardamom beauty pill was actually a pill developed by the late emperor."
"First Emperor?" Ye Qiqi was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that this pill would be developed by his own grandfather.
"Back then, the Emperor's exclusive doting on Concubine Yue was known to everyone inside and outside the capital. Therefore, although the Queen Mother was the Emperor's queen at that time, she only had a title." The palace maid sighed, Then he continued towards Ye Qiqi: "Originally, everything was peaceful and peaceful, but then one day, Concubine Yue suddenly became pregnant."
"At that time, Concubine Yue went to pay respects to the late emperor. She only said that she had been feeling dizzy recently, was too lazy to move, and felt like she couldn't eat anything. The late emperor then asked Concubine Yue to check her pulse."
"The late emperor was also the best in the world in martial arts back then. He has been a good friend for many years with Master Ye Jue, who is now the best martial arts master. Therefore, he also learned some medical skills from the world's best miraculous doctor."
"After the late emperor checked Concubine Yue's pulse, he knew that she was pregnant. However, he did not tell Concubine Yue at that time. Instead, he said that Concubine Yue had caught a cold and asked her to go back and keep warm and rest more."
The palace maid's voice paused, and then continued: "After Concubine Yue left, the late emperor stayed alone in the palace for many days and walked out with a bottle of pills."
"That bottle of pills is the Cardamom Beauty Pill?" Ye Qiqi frowned and asked the palace maid.
"Yes." The palace maid nodded, then bit her lip.
