Actually, Jiang Jingyue usually only took these medications depending on her mood. Sometimes she would even secretly pour them out when no one was around. But this time, it was really strange. She was in a good mood today and was about to drink them, but there was something wrong with the medication.

Fei Leng watched as he talked for a while, but Jiang Jingyue still showed no intention of getting up. So he reached out and gently pulled on Jiang Jingyue's blanket to let her little head peek out.

"Xiao Jing, come out. I'll feed you, okay?"

Jiang Jingyue slowly sat up, looking at Fei Leng with some fear.

"Your Majesty, there's something wrong with this medicine. I'm terrified. If it weren't for the fact that I learned about medicinal herbs from the old Chinese medicine doctor in my family when I was bored, I might have drunk this medicine today. And then...and then..."

At this point, Jiang Jingyue could no longer continue. She suddenly threw herself into Fei Leng's arms and began to sob softly.

Hearing Jiang Jingyue's sobs, Fei Leng, exuding a chilling aura, carefully lifted Jiang Jingyue's face. Looking at Jiang Jingyue, who was already crying her eyes out, his heart ached.

"Xiao Jing, don't cry, be good, I'll have someone investigate right away."

Despite Fei Leng's words, Jiang Jingyue's tears still slid down her cheeks, one by one, and accidentally dripped onto the back of Fei Leng's hand.

The warm temperature was almost scorching. Fei Leng looked at the fear in Jiang Jingyue's eyes and felt even more guilty.

It's all his fault, he's the one who's wrong. He should have had the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital personally prepare the medicine; that would have prevented this from happening.

"Your Majesty, once we find that person, we must not let her off easily. She tried to harm our child, who is the apple of my eye. How dare she treat my child like this? She must not be let off lightly."

Even without Jiang Jingyue saying anything, once the person who drugged her has been found, Fei Leng will not let her off easily.

"Xiao Jing, don't worry! I'll have Su De investigate right now. Since she dared to drug people so blatantly, she should have the courage to bear my wrath."

After comforting Jiang Jingyue, Fei Leng saw that Jiang Jingyue was breathing steadily and had fallen asleep.

Fei Leng stood up, his body covered in frost, and quickly walked outside.

He arrived at the Imperial Study and had Su De bring all the old guys from the Imperial Medical Academy before him. Then, Fei Leng threw the medicine he had brought from Jiang Jingyue at them.

"What am I supposed to do with all of you imperial physicians? Look at this."

The imperial physicians dared not move. They had not seen the emperor so angry in a long time. They knew the reason for his anger must be the medicine he had just thrown at them, but none of them dared to move.

Because they were terrified that if they made that move, their lives would be in danger.

After all, the Emperor is not just angry, his rage is something no ordinary person can withstand.

After a long while, the leading physician, Zhang, finally dared to make any slight movements.

He slowly approached the medicine, picked up a bit of the dregs, and smelled it. As soon as he smelled the medicine, he immediately understood why the emperor was angry.

Surprisingly, this medicine has the smell of safflower.

He immediately realized who must have taken the medicine; it must have been Consort Jing, otherwise the Emperor wouldn't have been so angry.

I must say, Physician Zhang, you've hit the nail on the head.

If it weren't for Jiang Jingyue, Fei Leng wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this matter at all.

However, Physician Zhang was still somewhat uncertain, so he suppressed his fear and raised his head to look at Fei Lengdao.

"Your Majesty, is this the medicine that Consort Jing used? This medicine has a reddish smell, but I am certain that this ingredient was not in the prescription I wrote. Therefore, the safflower must have been added by a wicked person."

At this point, Physician Zhang paused for a moment before speaking again.

"Your Majesty, pregnant women must never touch safflower. They can't even smell it. Your Majesty, is Consort Jing alright? Did she come into contact with the safflower? How is she now? Is the little prince in her womb alright?"

Physician Zhang felt that since the Emperor had become so angry, the baby in Consort Jing's womb was probably in grave danger.

"Consort Jing is fine. She just happened to miss taking the medicine. I just wanted to ask how the people in the Imperial Hospital were on duty, that such a serious thing could happen."

The kneeling imperial physicians all lowered their heads. They hadn't expected this either. They had been extremely careful when preparing Consort Jing's medicine, and they didn't know where the mistake had gone wrong.

They were at a loss for what to do, but thankfully Consort Jing was alright.

But now that I think about it, it makes sense. If something had really happened to Consort Jing, they certainly wouldn't have had the chance to kneel here.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. These things are all my fault. I left the medicine brewing once, which gave others the opportunity to take advantage of me."

Physician Wen, who was kneeling next to Physician Zhang, suddenly knelt forward a few steps and then kept kowtowing to Fei Leng.

Upon hearing that it was because he had left, Fei Leng's aura became even colder, and he immediately shouted.

"Drag them away and give them fifty lashes. As the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, Physician Zhang has failed to properly discipline his subordinates. He should also be dragged away and given fifty lashes. As for the rest, drag them away and give each of them thirty lashes. No one should be left out."

All the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Academy were dragged away and flogged. This was truly the first time in history, and this incident shocked the entire court.
