Xiao Lichen's heart was in turmoil. Two years ago, his body began to show symptoms of general weakness.
At the beginning, he secretly asked famous doctors from all over the Great Zhou to treat his illness, but to no avail.
As time went by, his body became weaker and weaker, to the point where he could not walk. He started coughing frequently, and every time he coughed, he would feel severe pain in his chest, and he would keep vomiting blood.
His health became so bad that the imperial physician in the palace diagnosed him as someone who would not survive for more than a year.
The guard Heiyan used his power to invite the great doctor of Da Zhou to help him cure his illness.
After diagnosis, the miracle doctor determined that he had been secretly poisoned. This poison has a long incubation period and when it reaches a certain dose, it will cause death.
The genius doctor tried his best to prepare a pill for him to temporarily relieve the poison in his body, but it could only allow him to live for another three years at most.
The mastermind behind framing his grandfather's family for treason has not been found yet, and he is unwilling to die in such an unclear manner.
The person who secretly poisoned him is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. What will his mother do if he dies?
That year, my aunt went to the palace to attend a banquet, but was accused of poisoning the prince. My aunt was executed, and my grandmother was devastated. She fell ill and passed away soon after.
He still has a lot of important things to do, how can he be willing to die like this.
In order not to alert the outside world, he always claimed that he was sick.
Neither his family nor his uncle knew that he was poisoned.
Princess Anle knew it clearly.
She is much better than he is at obtaining intelligence.
He and she shared the same thought that the Fourth Prince was in trouble.
Seeing that the Fourth Prince dared to be arrogant even after his shameful hobby was exposed in public, Tao Yuwei sneered.
"This princess is in a good mood today and will read the fortune of the Fourth Prince of Yue for free.
Your eyes are watery, your eye bags are dark, and you have a lot of romantic relationships. You've overexerted yourself, which shows you're not in good physical shape. You need to be careful to avoid hurting yourself."
"Also, you have to be careful. A prison mark has appeared on your forehead. I'm afraid you might be imprisoned. Remember to be careful with your words and actions."
When she finished speaking, everyone else present blushed.
Princess Anle dares to say anything, which is too bold. She is not afraid of offending the Fourth Prince and Concubine Huo and their mother.
The fourth prince Xiao Xiaocheng stood up suddenly, his face ferocious, his fists clenched, and he almost rushed out to hit someone.
"Anle, don't go too far."
The anger in Xiao Xiaocheng's heart continued to burn away his limited rationality.
The Third Princess looked at Tao Yuwei with a cold gaze, "Anle, this is too much. Watch your words and actions!"
Others looked on disapprovingly.
"How dare Princess Anle say anything?"
"Her reckless talk is simply disrespectful!"
"She insulted the Fourth Prince and publicly stated that he was in poor health. She even dared to mock the prince for his potential imprisonment."
When Xiao Lichen heard the discussion, he turned his head to look at Tao Yuwei.
She fearlessly took a piece of dessert and ate it happily.
What a great Princess Anle is! After arguing with others, she is not afraid of anyone's comments and enjoys the food freely.
She has changed so much that there is no trace of him in her eyes anymore.
But he found her more and more interesting and different.
It was really strange that she said that the Fourth Prince was in jail.
Seeing her happily eating snacks, the Fourth Prince felt like he was about to faint from anger.
Anle is going too far!
He yelled loudly at the guards of the Grand Prince's Mansion who were maintaining security outside.
"Come here, Anle is committing treason and disrespecting the royal family. Take her to the clan office immediately."
The eldest prince and his wife immediately stopped them.
"Everyone calm down and don't let a few words ruin the harmony."
They can't afford to offend either side, so if it really doesn't work, they just ignore it.
The guards stood still and looked at each other, no one acted rashly.
Are you kidding me? Capturing Princess Anle?
Anyone who really does this will end up in a miserable situation.
She is deeply favored by the emperor, and he dares to beat the princes and princesses, and His Majesty still protects her after beating her.
As a mere guard, they couldn't afford to offend such a person.
However, they also cannot afford to offend the Fourth Prince.
When the Fourth Prince saw that his order was issued, his eyes turned red with anger.
"Well, if you dare to disobey my orders, I will kill all nine of your clans."
"Whose entire clan should be executed?" A shrill voice made everyone react.
Everyone saw Zhao Chong, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Jianchang, appearing here holding the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.
"Are you here to protect me? If you hadn't shown up, the Fourth Prince would have already locked me up in the clan residence. Steward Zhao, they were bullying me just now."
Tao Yuwei grabbed her sleeves, her eyes became red and swollen at some point, and she ran to Zhao Chong pitifully to complain.
"We didn't bully Princess Anle."
When the Fourth Prince saw Zhao Chong coming, he said indignantly, "An Le's words are rude and insult the royal family. Eunuch Zhao, please have her imprisoned in the clan residence for reflection."
Zhao Chong looked at Anle and gave her a reassuring look.
He glanced at everyone present and his eyes became serious.
"Please accept the order, Fourth Prince!"
Seeing Zhao Chong holding up the imperial edict in his hand, everyone knelt down.
Leaving Tao Yuwei standing still.
The original owner had already obtained special permission from Emperor Jianchang, and did not have to kneel no matter who he met.
Xiao Lichen was physically disabled and sat in a wheelchair without moving.
Everyone else knelt on the ground, bowing their heads respectfully.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees."
"The Fourth Prince is of corrupt character and has caused chaos within the palace. The evidence is irrefutable. He is stripped of his title as King of Yue and imprisoned in the Imperial Clan House for reflection. He is not allowed to leave without permission. This is my decree!"
The fourth prince knelt on the ground and trembled with fear after hearing the imperial edict. It was over, his father knew about it.
