This guy is quite caring.
"Princess Xiao has worked really hard on this journey to the capital. Prince Shun should go back and spend more time with Princess Xiao."
"It's the Emperor."
Emperor Qianyuan turned around and strode away. After a moment, he suddenly turned back to look at the figure that was hurried away.
"Daughter-in-law Wanyi greets His Majesty."
Emperor Qianyuan quickly retracted his gaze and said, "Quickly, please don't be so polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Call me Father."
"It's Father."
Emperor Qianyuan's eyes subconsciously glanced at Xie Wanyi's abdomen, then quickly looked away. "Father, I learned that Yu'er's serious illness was caused by poisoning. Have you identified any suspects yet?"
"Reporting to the Emperor, we have identified several suspects, but we have to wait for the princess to perform a poison test before we can confirm the facts."
Emperor Qianyuan glanced around and said, "Follow me."
Emperor Qianyuan took Xie Wanyi to an octagonal pavilion in Xiaoyun Pavilion and sat down.
"Xu Mo reported to me that day that the people who came into contact with the ingredients didn't get any useful clues from them. Is this a new discovery?"
"Yes, we didn't know the prince was poisoned before. Now, after re-interrogating him, we found that the criminals most likely put the colorless and odorless poison in the water..."
Emperor Qianyuan was shocked. "If the water is poisonous, wouldn't you be poisoned too?"
No wonder Xie Wanyi hasn’t shown any signs of pregnancy yet.
"Don't worry, Father. Before Wanyi could even eat, the prince vomited blood and fainted. I didn't eat a single bite of lunch that day, so I wasn't poisoned. Princess Xiao has confirmed this as well."
Emperor Qianyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Anyone who came into contact with the food that day is a suspect. How did you determine that they were among the few people you mentioned?"
He can poison Yu'er for a long time, but he won't reveal his identity easily.
Xie Wanyi said slowly, "The princess said this poison is a chronic one. Long-term use can cause a healthy person to die of illness within three years. No one would suspect that he was poisoned. However, for those with chronic illnesses, once they ingest this poison, their illness will relapse on the same day..."
Emperor Qianyuan was shocked. "If the water was poisoned, I drank water in Yu'er's room. Wouldn't I have been poisoned too?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The water the prince drinks comes from the small well in the back garden, which is guarded by numerous guards. My daughter-in-law also drinks from that well, and my servants also boil water from it. If she's been poisoned, Ziyu might suffer a relapse of her old illness the day she enters the mansion."
Emperor Qianyuan felt relieved. He had some old ailments. "Then how did Princess Xiao diagnose that Yu'er was poisoned?"
"blood test!"
Emperor Qianyuan frowned in thought, "Then how could she detect the colorless and odorless poison in the water or food?"
This is extremely important to Emperor Qianyuan. If he were poisoned like this, wouldn't he die of illness for no apparent reason?
Xie Wanyi: ...
"Father, my daughter-in-law has just finished the interrogation and they came to Xiaoyun Pavilion to see the prince, and then went to the princess to talk about this matter."
Emperor Qianyuan suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly stood up: "Then let's go see Yu'er."

"Have you seen the emperor?" Xiao Lingyu supported himself with his hands and sat up on the bed. "Did he recognize your appearance?"
"Daddy, what was the emperor's expression when he saw your face just now?" Xiao Xier asked curiously.
Su Xingyi shook his head: "He didn't show any big expression. He just smiled and told grandfather that I looked good. Maybe he couldn't tell who I looked like."
Xiao Lingyu thought this was unlikely, as the old Emperor Dongjun could tell at a glance that Su Xingyi looked like Empress Fu'an.
And Nanny Fang would stare at Xingyi from time to time.
It was impossible for Emperor Qianyuan not to notice that Xing Yi looked like Empress Fu'an.
"Is there not even a hint of shock on your face?"
Su Xingyi shook his head. "He only smiled slightly at the gate, but his expression remained normal after entering the mansion."
"That shouldn't be the case. I have to ask An Ge'er about how I healed your eyes and legs. He named you Prince Shun, so he should be curious about you."
"Yeah Daddy, he reacted so calmly."
Su Xingyi's eyes darkened. He should have known earlier that he was his son.
Seeing Su Xingyi's reaction, Xiao Lingyu thought that her guess was correct. Emperor Qianyuan knew early on that Su Xingyi was his son, which was why he sent her to be his wife.
Qi Lianli, Miao Xiantong is the accomplice!
Otherwise, why would the Xiao family be settled in Anyang County?
Emperor Qianyuan is the murderer who killed the original owner!
Ah! So angry!
She is not allowed to return to Beijing freely. He probably wants her to get pregnant with Su Xingyi's son!
Feng Jinyu was murdered and his family line was almost extinct. Only the empress dowager was anxious to send people to urge the journey, and the emperor did not seem to be in a hurry.
It seems that Feng Jinyu and Xingyi don’t hold much weight in Emperor Qianyuan’s heart!
"Xiao Yu, finish giving Feng Jinyu the rest of the injections and then we'll go back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. We won't be here anymore."
"Okay, you can lie down on the Arhat couch and rest for a while. You took a nap with your grandfather, and the children didn't sleep."
Su Xingyi pushed Xiao Lingyu back onto the bed and said, "I'm not sleepy. It's tea time now. I'll go make tea for you and your mother."
Su Xingyi leaned over, picked up Xiao Xier and put her on the bed. "Xiao Xier, talk to your mother. Daddy will be back soon."
After Su Xingyi left the room, Xiao Xier whispered, "Mom, Dad doesn't seem very happy. Should I go and keep him company?"
Xiao Lingyu touched Xiao Xi'er's head and said, "The emperor didn't recognize your father's appearance. Your father is just a little unhappy. Sooner or later, they will recognize each other and find out the culprit who persecuted your father. Once they have avenged him, everything will be fine!"
Xiao Xier felt that her mother was coaxing her again, as she was not really a child.
