Lu Xiaoyun frowned for a moment and said, "Didn't you notice something wrong with this?"
"What's the problem?" Zhu Yu asked, staring at his own face in confusion.
Lu Xiaoyun lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "The Emperor's children are all close in age, but he was only thirty-five years old when he gave birth to Zhu Dan, in the prime of his life. After that, he suddenly couldn't have any more children except for the Fourth Princess. Why is that?"
"Why?" Zhu Yu paused. "You mean..."
Zhu Yu's face darkened: "Lu Xiaoyun, what kind of nonsense are you thinking? Imperial Physician Jiang takes the Emperor's pulse every day, and when he's not around, Imperial Physician Zhou also takes the Emperor's pulse, but I've never heard of the Emperor having any health problems!"

Lu Xiaoyun rolled her eyes at Zhu Yu, annoyed: "Your own brain is filthy, don't blame it on me."
Zhu Yu choked for a moment, but then said, "If your brain isn't dirty, how would you know what I'm trying to say?"

Zhu Yu remained silent. At that time, his father was in his prime, had no hidden ailments, and visited the inner palace quite often. Logically, this situation should not have occurred.
Of course, this is the imperial palace, and no one would be so bold as to poison the emperor.
