"Yes!" Chu Youheng handed the medicine box to Doctor Du who was standing beside him.

Doctor Du picked it up, looked at it, smelled it, secretly glanced at Chu Youheng, then lowered his head and said, "They are all warming and tonic herbs."

"Bring it here for me to see!" Chu Yan said in a deep voice.

After he took the medicine box, he squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time before picking out a pill at random and said, "In that case, you can try it for me!"

"Yes!" Chu Youheng stepped forward without hesitation, took the pill and put it into his mouth.

Then he knelt quietly on the ground.

This pill was similar to the one he usually took in his mansion, except that he crushed the pill, added a lot of warming and nourishing herbs into it, and then reprocessed it. So it wouldn't take effect immediately.

Two moments later, Chu Yan saw that he was fine, so he picked up a pill and put it to his mouth.

But before he could put it in his mouth, he suddenly put it down again and said in a deep voice: "Take two pills to the Imperial Hospital and let them take a look!"

Chu Youheng suddenly straightened his back and said, "Father, why don't we ask them to come over and take a look, in case someone switched them along the way..."

"That's right!" Chu Yan nodded, "Spread it!"

After a moment of silence, Imperial Physician Xue and two other imperial physicians came in.

Doctor Du went to Chu Yan's bedside to get the medicine box, and walked over to the few people. "I see that these are all warming and nourishing herbs. Please taste them again. The prince has already tried them himself. It has been about half an hour. You can also feel His Highness' pulse."

As he spoke, he picked up the pills and gave one to each of them.

Several people smelled it and glanced at Chu Youheng. Doctor Xue put the pill into his mouth. Then the two men stepped forward to feel Chu Youheng's pulse, and then smiled at each other.

"Your Highness has checked and found that it is a warming and tonic herb. You may take it, Your Majesty." Doctor Xue stepped forward and said.

Chu Youheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Doctor Du's hands in his sleeves began to tremble.

After Chu Yan took one pill, Chu Youheng returned to the East Palace.

As soon as he returned, he saw Jiang Ruwei waiting in the yard. She was wearing a red gauze dress and holding a paper umbrella, and her maid beside her was carrying a food box.

"Your Highness!" Jiang Ruwei smiled as brightly as a flower. "I heard that you went to court without having breakfast this morning, so I brought some food with me."

Because she was wearing red today, which made her look particularly festive, and because his plan had been implemented and reaching the castle was just around the corner, Chu Youheng was particularly happy today, and he gave her a smile, "The Crown Princess is still the most thoughtful. Come, have dinner with me!"

The East Palace was more luxurious than his palace, and Chu Youheng enjoyed this feeling very much. This was a scene he had never dared to dream of before.

Now, it’s finally realized!

Jiang Ruwei was also very happy. Chu Youheng treated her much better and even let her eat in the main room of the East Palace. It seemed that he acknowledged her identity!

If she could conceive a boy or girl, her position would be more secure.

She placed chopsticks for him, poured soup for him, and laid out the dishes for him. She watched him eat with a smile on his face, thinking that she would probably be able to stay in his room.

But……

Her maid brought up the tea, but somehow her hand slipped and spilled a few drops of tea into the pastries.

Chu Youheng's eyes immediately widened, and he was filled with anger. He shouted loudly: "How can you serve me so closely when you are so clumsy?!"

Jiang Ruwei had an indifferent expression, because this maid was Qingsuo, who had been favored by Chu Youheng. She saw that this little bitch was very rampant, but was afraid that punishing her would anger Chu Youheng.

That’s good.

Qingsuo was so frightened that she knelt down and bowed her head, "Your Highness, please forgive me! Your Highness, please forgive me! I just slipped!"

Chu Youheng suddenly pulled out a sword from his waist, stood up, stepped forward, put his hand on Qingsuo's neck, narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "I also... my hand slipped..."

As he spoke, he thrust his sword and blood splattered everywhere.

Jiang Ruwei's face turned pale immediately.

Is this still the same mild-mannered Prince Rui? Why does he feel like a different person? Chu Youheng rubbed the blood stains on the sword on Qingsuo's clothes, and then walked out while saying slowly: "What a spoiler! I'm going back to the palace tonight and I won't be back!"

Jiang Ruwei looked at the blood gushing out on the ground and was so frightened that she dared not make a sound.

In fact, even if Qingsuo had not slipped his hand, Chu Youheng would not have stayed in the East Palace. He had known that Doctor Du would come to the palace in the middle of the night.

When he came out of Bei Shijing's golden house, Doctor Du had been waiting for a while. When he saw him, Doctor Du knelt down in fear.

"Your Highness, I have done everything you asked me to do. Can you release my family?"

Chu Youheng turned to him, smiling, "Done? Ha!"

"It's done... It's done... I used fake pills to fool other doctors... Your Majesty has already taken them..."

Chu Youheng tapped the table with his fingers and said slowly, "You made three mistakes today. I will count them for you now. First, you should have taken the initiative to ask other imperial doctors to check instead of waiting for father to ask. Second, you asked them to feel my pulse, but how do you know that my pulse will not be leaked? Third, your hands were shaking like a sieve, and I don't know if others noticed..."

Doctor Du trembled, "Your Highness! Your Highness, please forgive me! I have tried my best, but this is really going to cost me my life!"

"To take your life?" Chu Youheng raised the corners of his lips slightly, "No... because..."

He suddenly drew his sword, and before Doctor Du could call out, a deep bloody cut had already been made on his neck.

"Because I am going to take your life now!" A cold light flashed in Chu Youheng's eyes.

Knowing this secret, he couldn't live! Then, he slowly closed his eyes, imagining that he was wearing a dragon robe and walking onto the supreme throne.

No one can bully him anymore!

Everyone, please him!

The world will soon be his!

——

Seven days later, in the Yangxin Palace.

After taking the medicine sent by Chu Youheng, Chu Yan clearly felt that his body had become stronger. He had been bedridden for a long time and had not summoned any of his concubines, but tonight, he had that thought.

"Someone, call Concubine Mei to sleep with you!" Chu Yan said in a deep voice.

Although it was already midnight, Concubine Mei still came as summoned. Since the emperor had such a demand, she had to satisfy it.

After tossing and turning for a while, Chu Yan was panting heavily. Concubine Mei said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you should pay more attention to your health!"

"I am old but still strong! I feel much better now and should be able to attend court soon!"

As he said this, he took up his sword and mounted his horse.

"Your Majesty! This is against the rules!"

"Your Majesty! Your health is at stake!"

Mei Fei exclaimed.

But Chu Yan's face darkened, "I am the emperor! This world belongs to me! I can do whatever I want..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly fell down, his limbs twitching violently and foaming at the mouth.

Mei Fei was terrified, "Someone come! Someone come!"
