Despite his discomfort, Eunuch Cai quickly approached Mu Yangwei: "Your Highness, how are you?"
Mu Yangwei bit his lip hard, cold sweat beading on his forehead; only the pain could bring him back to his senses.
“Crown Prince Cousin, please stop resisting, the medicine has taken effect…” Fan Zhiying slowly walked over and reached out to touch Mu Yangwei’s face, but Mu Yangwei dodged her.
"How dare you!" Eunuch Cai roared!
"You dare to plot against the Crown Prince? If the Emperor and Empress find out, even ten heads wouldn't be enough to stop you from being beheaded!"
"Hahaha!" Fan Zhiying laughed loudly. "Eunuch Cai, I advise you to shut your mouth. If you get angry again, you may lose your life here."
"As for the Emperor and Empress, once the deed is done, what can the Emperor do even if he's angry? As for Aunt, she already knows all about these things. If anyone's to blame, it's the Crown Prince for being disobedient and upsetting her."
"roll!"
Mu Yangwei roared, stood up, and helped Eunuch Cai up: "Eunuch Cai, you go first."
Grandpa Cai knew that it was no use for the two of them to stay here; they had to find reinforcements.
However, how could Fan Zhiying let anyone leave?
With a single glance, the people around quickly surrounded Eunuch Cai.
"How dare you!" Eunuch Cai roared. "Do you want to die?"
Fan Zhiying scoffed coldly: "Take His Highness the Crown Prince to his bedchamber."
"Crown Prince!"
Grandpa Cai shouted.
Mu Yangwei clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh, scratching away the bloodstains.
Fresh blood flowed down his palm.
Seeing the palace maids and eunuchs rushing over, Mu Yangwei immediately turned around and walked out.
"Stop the Crown Prince!"
Eunuch Cai broke free and lunged at the people trying to stop Mu Yangwei: "Your Highness, run!"
Mu Yangwei paused, his face pale, and ran outside, but his body was getting weaker and weaker.
Eunuch Cai also crawled out from the crowd. Seeing Mu Yangwei fall to the ground, he was shocked: "Quickly save the Crown Prince! If anything happens to the Crown Prince, you will all be executed!"
Fan Zhiying laughed sarcastically: "Eunuch Cai, you should mind your own business!"
"Take the Crown Prince away!"
Eunuch Cai watched helplessly as the palace maids and eunuchs carried Mu Yangwei away, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, but his eyelids grew heavier and heavier, as if he would faint at any moment.
Eunuch Cai tried to get up from the ground, but fell down again. The pain in his chest startled him slightly.
He quickly pulled a bottle from his chest, swallowed the pill, and then charged at the prince with all his might. His speed was so fast that no one present could react!
A pill was shoved directly into Mu Yangwei's mouth.
Fan Zhiying turned around and shouted angrily, "Take him down!"
By this time, Eunuch Cai had already recovered his strength. He pushed the palace maids and eunuchs down, took out a whistle, and blew it!
"Fan Zhiying, even if the old master of the Fan family came, he couldn't save you!"
Cai Gonggong's words made Fan Zhiying tremble. The next second, she saw the guards break down the door and enter!
"Fan Zhiying intends to harm the Crown Prince! Seize her!" Eunuch Cai shouted, and the commander of the guards immediately looked at Mu Yangwei.
Mu Yangwei had recovered by now, his cold eyes fixed on Fan Zhiying: "Take her down!"
Fan Zhiying was terrified. She never imagined that the Crown Prince and Eunuch Cai, who had been drugged, would actually be able to withstand it!
This drug will only kill you if you are sexually active.
She had a good plan: if Eunuch Cai was dead, so be it; but with the Crown Prince by her side, she was certain she could save his life. However…
However, it was all just imagination; their poison was actually cured!
Fan Zhiying knelt down with a thud: "Cousin Crown Prince, spare my life! I didn't mean it, I really didn't!"
Mu Yangwei felt extremely tired. He ordered Fan Zhiying to be taken away and then went to the Imperial Study with Eunuch Cai.
"What's wrong?" The Emperor looked at Mu Yangwei and Eunuch Cai who rushed in, and was taken aback when he saw that the two looked unwell.
Eunuch Cai immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty! This servant failed to protect His Highness the Crown Prince! Your Majesty, please quickly summon the imperial physician to examine His Highness!"
The Emperor was taken aback and looked at Eunuch Cai with confusion.
Mu Yangwei's face was extremely dark. The emperor had others summon the imperial physician, who took Mu Yangwei's pulse and, after confirming that he was alright, was about to leave when Mu Yangwei said, "Let's also examine Eunuch Cai."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Eunuch Cai quickly extended his hand.
The Emperor raised an eyebrow. Just then, a young eunuch walked in and whispered a few words in the Emperor's ear. The Emperor, exuding coldness, nodded to the young eunuch.
After the imperial physician left, the emperor threw the memorials on the table onto the ground: "Very good, very good, the Fan family is truly excellent!"
Mu Yangwei kept his head down and didn't say a word.
Eunuch Cai hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Take care of your health."
"That Fan family! How dare they do such a thing to my son, the current Crown Prince, right here in the inner palace! How can I possibly appease their anger!"
"Guards! Issue the order! Kill Fan Zhiying!"
"Throw the Empress into the Cold Palace! She is not allowed to see anyone without my order!"
"Summon Imperial Uncle Fan and me to the palace! If you can't raise your children properly, then don't bother raising them! Get out of here!"
The successive imperial edicts were enough to demonstrate the emperor's anger.
Mu Yangwei raised his head, his eyes filled with hurt: "Father, does Mother really hate to see me happy? If it weren't for Eunuch Cai giving me the antidote, I'm afraid I would have..."
"This old servant just remembered. The county princess gave me a bottle of pills, saying that the palace was dangerous and that if I was poisoned, I should take one. At the time, I thought, 'I'm someone close to the emperor, who would poison me? Thank goodness...'"
The Emperor's expression softened a bit: "That girl Tuantuan has done a lot of preventative measures. In the future, whatever she gives you, just accept it. She always has her reasons."
"If it weren't for Tuantuan, I would have gone to the appointment alone."
Mu Yangwei recounted his encounter with Bai Tuantuan: "Presumably, she foresaw that I would face this calamity."
The Emperor sighed and glanced at Mu Yangwei: "You've grown up now. You should handle your mother's affairs yourself."
As he spoke, the Emperor stepped down and patted Mu Yangwei on the shoulder: "No matter what, you still have your father, so don't worry."
Mu Yangwei stepped back and bowed to the Emperor.
"Your son thanks Your Majesty!"
The Emperor looked at Mu Yangwei with eyes full of satisfaction: "Wei'er, as an emperor, you must be decisive when necessary. Don't hurt yourself over trivial matters."
Mu Yangwei moved his lips a few times, then lowered his head.
"As for Tuantuan..."
The Emperor smiled and said, "Then I will bestow upon her the title of Princess Zhenguo."
