Everyone was stunned upon hearing this and turned to look at Duanmu Junyu.

Su Xuening and Su Yun'an also subconsciously looked at Duanmu Junyu.

Duanmu Junyu frowned and immediately went to Jinhua Palace.

Su Yun'an looked worriedly at Duanmu Junyu's retreating figure, then turned to Su Xuening and said, "Sister, let's go take a look too."

Thinking that the person had committed suicide and that she could still save him, Su Xuening went to Jinhua Palace with Su Yun'an.

The imperial relatives and ministers dared not go to the inner palace, and instead gathered together to whisper among themselves.

"Feng Jun actually committed suicide."

"He did something wrong, he stole someone, and committing suicide is too good for him."

"Don't say that. Back then, when Prince Hui impersonated His Majesty, Princess Feng might have mistaken him for someone else."

"That sounds nice, mistaking someone for someone once or twice, but you've been mistaking someone for someone for the past twenty years?"

"It's possible that after the first time, he just went along with it."

"Then he knew but didn't report it. As the Phoenix Prince, it's one thing to lose his chastity, but to have an illegitimate child with the Prince of Hui is another. Even if he doesn't commit suicide, he won't have a good end."

"Actually, His Majesty was quite worried about Feng Jun. As soon as he heard that Feng Jun had committed suicide, he immediately went to his palace."

"I don't think His Majesty loves Feng Jun. Didn't you hear His Majesty say that she and Feng Jun never consummated their marriage? His Majesty and Feng Jun were young lovers, and they never even consummated their marriage. His Majesty definitely doesn't love Feng Jun."

"Alas, whether one loves or not, even the dead can leave some trace in His Majesty's heart."

Jinhua Palace.

When Duanmu Junyu arrived, Xiao Jincheng had already been rescued and placed on a bed, where a room full of palace servants surrounded the bed and wept.

Xiao Jincheng on the bed had his eyes closed, and there was a red mark around his neck, as if he had stopped breathing.

"Your Majesty." Upon seeing Duanmu Junyu approach, the palace servants forgot their tears and bowed in greeting.

Duanmu Junyu looked at Xiao Jincheng, who seemed lifeless on the bed, and asked angrily, "What happened?"

Seeing Duanmu Junyu's anger, the palace servants were terrified and forced themselves to say, "Just now, the Phoenix Prince heard that Prince Hui was arrested for treason, and also heard... heard..."

The palace attendant glanced at Duanmu Junyu but didn't dare to continue.

"What else have you heard!" Duanmu Junyu shouted sharply, and the palace servant trembled instantly in fright. He immediately said, "I also heard that after His Majesty made it public that the Second Prince was born to Fengjun and Huiwang, Fengjun committed suicide out of shame and indignation."

Duanmu Junyu frowned, not expecting the news to spread so quickly.

Before she even returned to the palace, the news had already reached the palace.

“Mother.” Su Xuening and Su Yun’an entered the room together and were both stunned to see Xiao Jincheng lying lifeless on the bed.

Without waiting for Duanmu Junyu's instructions, Su Xuening immediately stepped forward to take Xiao Jincheng's pulse.

After a careful examination, Su Xuening discovered that Xiao Jincheng was still alive: "Quickly, go get the medicine box."

"Yes," the palace attendant replied, and immediately went to fetch the medicine box.

Su Xuening stood up again and instructed the palace servants, "You guys take off his clothes."

"This..." The palace servants hesitated when they saw that Su Xuening was a woman.

The Crown Prince is a woman, and the Emperor's daughter at that. What kind of behavior is it to make the Phoenix Prince undress in front of her?

If Feng Jun were awake, he certainly wouldn't agree.

"What time is it? Why are you still thinking about these things?" Su Xuening knew exactly what they meant, and glared at them angrily.

Duanmu Junyu also instructed them, "Do as His Highness says."

"But..." the palace servants still refused.

Duanmu Junyu was speechless: "Is your life more important or your reputation!"

As Duanmu Junyu spoke, she stepped forward to help Xiao Jincheng take off his clothes.

The palace servants immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, you mustn't! Even if you save Feng Jun's life, he will still commit suicide!"

Su Xuening was helpless.

This is Xiliang, and she must respect Xiliang's customs. In Xiliang, a man's reputation is just as important as a woman's reputation in Dongchu.

Imagine asking the Empress of Eastern Chu to undress to treat a prince; she certainly wouldn't agree.

Su Xuening looked at Su Yun'an: "Go and call Master here."

"I'm here." As soon as Su Xuening finished speaking, Pei Luo came over.

He knew they might need him here, so he didn't go back to Fengming Palace and came over instead.

When Duanmu Junyu saw Pei Luo, it was as if she had seen a savior: "You've come at the right time, quickly take a look at him."

Pei Luo glanced at Xiao Jincheng once, then ordered the palace servants, "Take off his clothes first."

Knowing it was inappropriate for Su Xuening to stay in the room, she immediately left.

Duanmu Junyu didn't want to see anything she shouldn't, so she followed them out.

Su Yun'an couldn't help either, so he followed them out.

Only a few men remained in the room.

The palace servants had nothing more to say and quickly helped Xiao Jincheng take off his clothes.

"The medicine box has arrived." Just then, the palace attendant who had run off to fetch the medicine box also came running over.

Pei Luo took the silver needles and immediately began to insert them into Xiao Jincheng's body.

Time passed slowly, and it wasn't until after an incense stick had burned that Duanmu Junyu and the others heard a weak cough coming from inside the room.

The excited voices of the palace servants soon filled the room.

"He's alive!"

"That's wonderful! Feng Jun is alive!"

"Phoenix Lord is saved!"

Outside, Duanmu Junyu also silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, they were rescued.

Soon, the door opened, and Pei Luo came out of the room, saying to Duanmu Junyu, "The person has been rescued and is fine. She will recover after a few days of rest."

"Thank you very much." Duanmu Junyu bowed gratefully to Pei Luo.

Pei Luo laughed generously, "It's nothing, you don't need to be so polite. You can go in and see him now."
