Helian Su was calm and composed, his eyes swept across Helian Yu's face.

Others looked in all directions and took in all the people in the hall.

Helian Yu stood in front of the hall, holding the black medicine in his hand, and looked at Helian Su with burning eyes: "I——"

"The special examination will be held on the 20th of next month." Helian Su interrupted Helian Yu's words. Facing her confused eyes, he continued, "There will be two examination halls in the north and south. If Xiao Yu'er is willing to take medicine obediently, I will allow you to go to the south with the crown prince to supervise the examination. How do you think?"

Helian Yu looked down at the black medicine soup, then looked up at Helian Su, his face full of confusion.

The south! In March, I went to Yangzhou. The south is a great place for an outing, with kites flying and peach blossoms blooming.

But……

Helian Yu lowered his head again, staring at the medicine in the bowl with deep hatred.

Helian Su was not in a hurry. "If you can take the medicine and get well, I will allow you to bring one more person with you when you go. How about that?"

Helian Yu hadn't responded yet. Instead, Helian Ya asked Helian Su first, her eyes anxious, "Is your Majesty serious?"

Helian Su glanced at Helian Ya with deep eyes. Helian Ya was afraid of his majesty and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"My son is rude."

Helian Su turned his gaze to Helian Yu and repeated patiently, "How do you think about it?"

"I want candied fruit!"

Chang An stood beside Helian Yu, holding a plate of candied fruit.

"I want ten thousand taels of silver!"

Helian Su said in a chilling tone, "I think you want to be punished."

Helian Yu stared at Helian Su in frustration: "You insisted that I return to the palace, and if I did, you would beat me up! I want to leave! I want to go back to the Imperial Master's Mansion!"

Helian Su pursed his lips, "In that case..."

Helian Yu blinked her big eyes, wondering how likely it was that Helian Su would let her go.

Compared to the Imperial Master's Mansion, she didn't want to stay in the Imperial Palace at all!

"The princess refuses to take the medicine, which means the servants of Fengyang Pavilion have failed to serve her well. Chang Hai, take him away and give him thirty lashes each."

"From now on, if Zhaoyang refuses to take medicine once, these servants will give him thirty lashes. What do you think?" There was no joy or anger on Helian Su's face. The last sentence was directed at Helian Yu.

Helian Yu: Threat, naked threat! Helian Su reminded Chang Hai again, "Chang Hai, why don't you do it?"

Chang Hai looked embarrassed, but he did not dare to disobey Helian Su's order. He took a few steps forward and was about to ask the guards to take action.

Helian Yu held the bowl of medicine, looking ready to die bravely, and yelled with his eyes closed: "Wait a minute! I'll drink it!"

A smile flashed across Helian Su's eyes, but his voice was more oppressive: "Then drink it."

Helian Su glanced at Chang An, and Chang An quickly picked up two candied fruits, waited for Helian Yu to finish drinking the medicine, and stuffed them into her mouth to suppress the bitterness.

Helian Yu gulped down the medicine, wrinkled his little face, pinched his nose, and chewed the candied fruit viciously.

Helian Su had no doubt that she must have regarded him as candied fruit and wanted to take a few big bites of him.

Helian Yu felt dizzy after drinking the medicine. He fell to the ground before he had even finished chewing the candied fruit in his mouth.

Chang An's face changed drastically. He quickly knelt down and helped Helian Yu up.

Helian Su's face was grim. He rushed over and snatched Helian Yu from Chang An's hand. He suppressed his anger and said, "Chang Hai, call the imperial physician to arrest and punish anyone who has touched the medicine. Invite the imperial master to the palace."

Helian Su picked up Helian Yu, stood up, and saw the candied fruits scattered on the carpet. He closed his eyes and said, "Chang'an, send the candied fruits for inspection."

Chang An nodded in acceptance of the order, holding the candied fruit, and followed Chang Hai out of Fengyang Pavilion.

On the way, Chang Hai glanced at Chang An who was in deep thought, "What are you thinking about?"

Chang An raised his head, revealing the sinisterness in his eyes, "Godfather, this is only the second day, the masters in the harem are too impatient, my son just thinks it's stupid."

Chang An remained calm, "My son is loyal to Princess Zhaoyang and will never harm his master."

The Imperial Master's Mansion.

"Sir, someone came from the palace and said that the young lady fell into a coma after drinking medicine. His Majesty asks you to go to the palace to assist in the investigation." Chang Zuo knocked on the door of the main courtyard and explained to Xie Rangchen.

The sound of the piano inside the room suddenly stopped, and then the door opened wide, revealing Xie Rangchen, wearing a red robe with a gold thread and cloud pattern. He looked cold and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

Chang Zuo silently took a step back. He still remembered that the young master had only worn the red robe twice, and each time, he went on a killing spree and blood was shed. However, not a drop of blood splashed on him.

Chang Zuo was unsure of the depth of Xie Rangchen's martial arts, but he was certain that Xie Rangchen's martial arts were definitely better than his.

The carriages and horses that greeted them in the palace were luxurious, hundreds of times more dazzling than the simple carriages in the Imperial Master's Mansion.

When Xie Rangchen stepped into Fengyang Pavilion, the courtyard of Fengyang Pavilion was full of kneeling palace maids and eunuchs.

At the beginning of spring and the end of winter, the weather is still cold and the sun is high, but not warm.

Xie Rangchen held the hand warmer in his hand, walked past the kneeling servants, and walked into the hall.

"The Grand Master has arrived—"

In the inner hall, Helian Su's face was already very ugly. When he heard that the Imperial Master had arrived, he barely improved and said, "Please come in!"

After a while, a handsome young man in a red robe walked into the inner hall.

Helian Ya, Crown Prince Helian Sheng, and Second Prince Helian Sheng, who had never seen the Imperial Master before, were all surprised at his appearance and temperament when they met him for the first time.

The imperial masters of all generations were in their thirties or forties. Xie Rangchen was the only one who became the imperial master at the age of fifteen.

Xie Rangchen nodded slightly, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Master, there is no need to be so polite. Please come and see if Yu'er is okay." After saying this, Helian Su glanced outside the palace, "The doctors in my Imperial Hospital are all good-for-nothings. Not a single one of them can figure out the reason."

Helian Su asked someone to bring a chair to Xie Rangchen, placed it next to the bed, and asked him to sit down for examination.

If it were an ordinary imperial physician, he would just kneel while examining, but it was different for the Imperial Physician. The Imperial Physician did not need to kneel for the royal family. This was a rule since ancient times.

Xie Rangchen lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze on Helian Yu's pale little face. He raised his hand and covered her forehead. After a few breaths, he withdrew his hand and placed his fingertips on her pulse.

Helian Su and others kept a close eye on Xie Rangchen's movements, worried about Helian Yu's situation.

After Xie Rangchen withdrew his hand, he calmly gave his conclusion: "He accidentally ingested chestnut powder and fell asleep temporarily. Fortunately, he didn't eat much, so his life is not in danger. However, his qi and blood are even more depleted. In the next few days, he needs to pay close attention to his medication and diet."

Xie Rangchen pressed the quilt under Helian Yu's armpits and said, "Let her sleep. Feed her some soup at dinner. While she is unconscious, it is a good opportunity to give her another dose of medicine."

"Long Zuo!"

As soon as Xie Rangchen finished speaking, Chang Zuo came in with a food box. He glanced at Helian Yu lying on the bed, then handed the bowl of medicine to Xie Rangchen.

Helian Sheng always followed the etiquette and stopped her, saying, "Master, let me do the feeding. Zhaoyang is my biological sister."

Xie Rangchen looked at Helian Sheng. Both of them knew Helian Yu's true identity.

"No need, Yu'er is stubborn and the prince can't feed her."

"Click"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xie Rangchen raised his hand to remove Helian Yu's chin, held the spoon, and poured the medicine into her mouth spoon by spoon.

This time the medicine is different, it is pure red.

Everyone in the inner hall had complicated looks, and all of them sympathized with Helian Yu for following a master who looked so kind and gentle on the outside but was so cruel on the inside.

The prince sat down awkwardly, and felt more and more sympathy and pity for Helian Yu, his 'real sister' who was not his real sister.
