The “Nianxi Garden” is said to have been built by Prince Li Mufeng of Longxuan to commemorate his deceased friend.
The young prince, Li Jingchen, and his aunt, Zhou Fengyun, now live here.
This inevitably aroused suspicion. This place was prepared by Li Mufeng for the young prince's mother, which shows how much he loves that woman.
Looking at the spring scenery in the courtyard, "Blood Purple Rose" curled the corners of her lips. This man has someone he loves, so naturally he doesn't care about her. There's a chance for a divorce.
"Your Highness, sob sob... You must do justice for Chen'er! It's this woman who's trying to harm Chen'er. Ever since Chen'er ate the lollipop she gave him, he's been sick and unconscious, sob sob..."
As soon as "Blood Purple Rose" entered the room, she saw Zhou Fengyun pointing at herself, crying her heart out.
She had just planned to go back to her room, but then she thought of the child who had pretended to be dead, happily holding a lollipop, just like any other child—quite cute. So, almost against her will, she followed him, entirely out of concern. Unexpectedly, she was accused. You can imagine how frustrated "Blood Purple Rose" was.
"I wish I hadn't come."
"Madam Zhou, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. What evidence do you have that I poisoned this boy?"
Despite her deep regret, "Blood Purple Rose" still raised her eyebrows and questioned him.
"Imperial Physician Du, please tell the Prince whether the young prince was poisoned because he ate the lollipop she gave him?"
Upon hearing "Blood Purple Rose's" question, Zhou Fengyun turned to Doctor Du, who was bowing with his head down, and inquired further.
"Doctor Du, tell me, what exactly happened?"
Seeing his son Li Jingchen's pale face and closed eyes, Li Mufeng suddenly felt a chill rise from his body, and his voice was as cold as ice.
"Your Highness, please look, this is the thing that harmed the young prince."
Doctor Du picked up a tray from the table; on the tray were the melted lollipops.
"According to my inspection, this 'lollipop' was coated with oleander juice, which is the cause of the young master's poisoning. If it weren't for Madam Zhou's timely discovery, I'm afraid..."
Doctor Du didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was already quite clear.
"Han Ziwei, do you have an explanation?"
Li Mufeng turned his murderous gaze toward "Blood Purple Rose".
Upon hearing Li Mufeng's question, "Blood Purple Rose" did not answer. Instead, she slowly stepped forward, dipped her fingertip in the liquid from the melted lollipop, and smelled it.
"There really is oleander juice. Who would harm such a young child?"
Looking around, a different atmosphere filled the air, and "Blood Purple Rose's" dark eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Han Ziwei, I am asking you a question."
Li Mufeng was very dissatisfied at being ignored, and his voice suddenly rose a little.
“First, the young master ate a lollipop last night. If he were poisoned, he wouldn’t have waited until now.”
"Blood Purple Crape Myrtle" spoke in a clear, melodious voice.
"That's because the young master took too little. If Madam Zhou hadn't taken the lollipop back after we got back, the young master would probably be dead by now."
Seeing that his lie was about to be exposed, Physician Du hurriedly began to explain.
"Even so, the drug's effects shouldn't be taking this long to take effect!"
"Blood Purple Rose" raised an eyebrow.
“Your Highness is absolutely right. It was I who used the method of inducing vomiting on the young prince. When I arrived, the young prince was in critical condition. The medicine should have already taken effect in the young prince’s body. It is only because the young prince is healthy and has inherited the prince’s strength that he has endured it until now.”
Doctor Du interrupted "Blood Purple Rose" again.
"Damn, what a suck-up! Getting poisoned and they can even bring up genetics."
"Alright, the most important thing right now is to save him. Doctor Du, tell me how you plan to treat the young master."
Seeing the group arguing, Li Mufeng shouted in a deep voice.
"This old minister does have a method, but..."
Physician Du hesitated, then Li Mufeng spoke in a deep voice.
"explain."
“Oleander is highly poisonous. To completely remove the poison from the body, you have to use traditional methods.”
At this point, Physician Du seemed hesitant, and Zhou Fengyun grew anxious.
"Doctor Du, what kind of folk remedy is it? Tell me quickly! I'll do anything to save Chen'er, even if it costs me my life."
After saying this, Zhou Fengyun began to sob and cry.
"Waaah... My sister died so young, leaving behind only this child. I couldn't protect him properly, and he was harmed by that vile woman. I'm so sorry, sister, waaah..."
"Madam, please don't cry. This isn't your fault. It's the Princess who's too vicious. She's tried to harm the young prince time and time again to get rid of him. Yesterday she tried to strangle him, and today she tried to poison him. The young prince is so young, what did he do to deserve this? Waaah... Your Highness, you must stand up for the young prince! Waaah..."
Following Zhou Fengyun's hint, her maid Cui'er also stepped forward to interfere, making the scene even more chaotic. Li Mufeng couldn't help but frown, and his gaze towards "Xue Ziwei" became even colder.
After all, she did want to strangle Li Jingchen yesterday. It was all the original owner's fault, and now she was the one cleaning up the mess. "Xue Ziwei" felt so wronged.
"This folk remedy involves mixing human blood with rhinoceros horn, grinding it into powder, and inducing vomiting. As long as the young prince can vomit out all the poison in his body, the poison will naturally be neutralized."
Seeing that the time was about right, Physician Du continued.
"Ha ha……"
"Blood Purple Rose" burst into laughter.
"why are you laughing?"
Li Mufeng looked displeased. He was already extremely anxious, and this woman still dared to laugh.
"Then do we need to use my 'Han Ziwei' blood?"
"Blood Purple Crape Myrtle" spoke in a clear, melodious voice.
"You poisoned him. If you are truly innocent, shouldn't you use a little of your blood? Or do you simply not want Chen'er to wake up? You poisonous woman, you are not worthy of the prince at all."
Zhou Fengyun was aggressive, and "Blood Purple Rose" stammered.
"Yes, I'm not worthy, only you are. You're just the young prince's aunt, yet you dare to dream of climbing into the prince's bed. It's a pity the prince doesn't like you. He'd rather have this poisonous woman than you, you green tea bitch."
"you……"
Zhou Fengyun was furious and lunged at Li Mufeng.
"Your Highness, I have no, I have no..."
"No? If not, do you dare swear to heaven that if you have any improper thoughts about the prince, you are willing to be struck by lightning?"
"Blood Purple Rose" slightly raised her chin, looking aggressive.
"I...I am a woman..."
Just as Zhou Fengyun was in a dilemma, she heard Li Mufeng shout, "Shut up, all of you! Anyone who dares to say another word will be dragged out and beaten to death! Chen'er is in imminent danger, and you are all here spouting useless nonsense."
If anything happens to Chen'er, I'll make you all pay with your lives.
"Your Highness, please calm down, Your Highness, please calm down..."
Everyone in the entire "Nianxi Garden" was so frightened that they knelt down on the ground, and no one dared to say anything more.
"Imperial Physician Du, please use my blood to save Chen'er!"
Li Mufeng was never one to force others to do things against their will. Since no one was willing to risk their life to save Chen'er, he would do it himself.
"Your Highness, you mustn't!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of opposition arose. Not only did Zhou Fengyun and Physician Du object, but even "Blood Purple Rose" objected.
