He was in great pain all over his body and couldn't stop scratching. But he knew that if he kept scratching, he would probably be disfigured.

Chu Yan also rushed over upon hearing the news. When she saw Xiao Wang's flushed face covered with dense red rashes, she was startled.

"Your Highness, what illness have you contracted?"

As a princess, Chu Yan still asked with concern.

"I woke up in the middle of the night with a sudden, intense itch, and these old fogies don't even know why!"

"Xiao Wang said with red eyes."

He was already feeling incredibly uncomfortable, but he kept holding it in because he really didn't want to ruin his face.

After all, a disfigured person cannot inherit the throne.

"How could this be? Did Your Highness eat something that made you unwell?"

Chu Yan asked.

"I did attend a banquet at the Princess's residence yesterday; it's not like the Princess's residence is giving it to me—"

Prince Xiao shook his head, about to ask if the princess's residence had poisoned him, but then he suddenly remembered that he had forced Princess Changning to marry a servant, so it was normal for her to harbor resentment.

"It must be the princess! They're really daring!"

King Xiao gritted his teeth and said.

"Someone, go to the princess's residence and tell them to send the antidote. Also, Li San, go and tell the princess..."

King Xiao summoned his personal servant and whispered a few words in his ear.

Chu Yan frowned slightly as she watched Xiao Wang's actions, secretly taking note.

Soon, the eldest princess hurriedly brought several imperial physicians to Prince Xiao's residence.

"Prince Xiao, I have never poisoned you. Don't wrong me. These are the imperial physicians I brought for you. Let them take a look!"

The eldest princess spoke with a stern face.

She did hate King Xiao for threatening Changning to marry a servant, but she really didn't poison him. However, King Xiao actually framed her, which made her very unhappy.

Seeing the princess's expression, and based on his understanding of human nature, King Xiao vaguely felt that the princess was not lying.

However, since he had indeed gone to the princess's residence and only returned in this state, she was his only suspect.

Prince Xiao had the imperial physician examine him several times, and finally the physician concluded, "Your Highness, you have probably been poisoned!"

"It really is poisoning! Who poisoned me?"

King Xiao angrily pounded his fist on the bed.

"Does the imperial physician have the ability to cure this poison? What kind of poison is it specifically?"

The eldest princess asked with concern.

The imperial physician shook his head. "I only know that Your Highness is showing signs of poisoning, but I do not know how to cure it. The person who poisoned you will need to provide the antidote."

"What about the other imperial physicians? Can't you also prepare an antidote?"

The princess then looked at the other imperial physicians, but they all shook their heads.

When King Xiao saw this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

These doctors and physicians are all useless; they can't even make an antidote!

In his desperation, he lost all ability to think and directed all his emotions toward the princess.

He shouted at her, "Princess, why aren't you giving me the antidote? If you give me the antidote now, I won't hold it against you, but if you don't..."

King Xiao looked at the eldest princess with a threatening gaze.

The eldest princess's face turned ashen with anger. She said unhappily, "I didn't poison you. You've already said that, so how could I dare? Prince Xiao, don't you think about who you've offended these past few days?"

"offend?"

The eldest princess's last words suddenly reminded King Xiao.

He squinted and thought for a moment. If we're talking about offending someone, then it's only the Crown Prince and his group.

Moreover, he did indeed encounter the Crown Prince and his entourage at the Princess's residence that day, and the Crown Princess was skilled in medicine.

"I know, it was the Crown Princess, she must have poisoned me!"

King Xiao immediately understood and said angrily.

Chu Yan's heart skipped a beat. They suspected it was Luo'er, and that was quite possible!

"Guards! Change my clothes! I'm heading to the Crown Prince's residence!"

Prince Xiao immediately summoned people to prepare to go to the Crown Prince's residence to find Su Liluo.

Chu Yan remained silent, but before setting off, Prince Xiao did not forget her. He looked at Chu Yan meaningfully and said something.

"Yan'er, we are husband and wife. I have been poisoned. Shouldn't you come with me to find the Crown Princess to get the antidote?"

Chu Yan tried to explain for Su Liluo, "Your Highness, you have no evidence to prove that the Crown Princess poisoned you; it's all just your speculation."

"Even if she didn't poison me, she knows medicine and might be able to cure me. Yan'er, don't you want her to help me?"

"I......"

"Let's go, Yan'er. You are my queen and should come with me."

Before Chu Yan could agree, Prince Xiao pulled her along and took her to the Crown Prince's residence.

At this moment, Su Liluo and Xiao Ye were playing chess in the mansion when they heard the gatekeeper report that Prince Xiao had arrived. They knew that Prince Xiao must have guessed it.

However, King Xiao had absolutely no evidence, so they weren't afraid. They could even see how King Xiao was suffering now.

So they went to see King Xiao in high spirits.

"Crown Princess, please quickly detoxify me!"

As soon as King Xiao saw Su Liluo come out, he excitedly went up to her and said something.

"Your Highness, what's wrong? How could you be poisoned? Oh dear, you really look like that demon-faced demon, it's terrifying!"

Su Liluo first asked with concern, then pretended to be frightened and mocked her.

"Crown Princess, didn't you administer this poison? I'm already in this state, shouldn't you produce the antidote by now?"

King Xiao glared fiercely at Su Liluo, trying hard to control his tone as he spoke.

"What are you saying? How dare you spout such nonsense, Your Highness Prince Xiao? When did I poison you? And what kind of poison was it? I know nothing about it!"

Su Liluo sighed, feigning innocence.

Seeing her like this, King Xiao became even more irritated. He knew that it was useless for him to speak, so he looked at Chu Yan, hoping that Chu Yan would speak.

When Chu Yan met Xiao Wang's gaze, she naturally understood his meaning.

But why should she help him?

Chu Yan now dislikes Prince Xiao more than she likes him. She knows that Luo'er is venting her anger, so naturally she doesn't want to help him.

However, she also understood that given her position, it would be really inappropriate not to say a word.

Therefore, Chu Yan simply said, "Princess Consort, please take a look at His Highness Prince Xiao. If you are also unable to help, we will not blame you."

Yes, if the Crown Princess says it can't be cured, then no one can be blamed.

Su Liluo understood the implication in Chu Yan's words and readily agreed.

"Since Princess Xiao has spoken, then I will reluctantly help Prince Xiao take a look out of respect for her!"
