During the nearly two months that the prince spent at the hot spring villa, he thought about a lot of things, and he found that there were many things he couldn't figure out.
For example, he is seriously poisoned. According to Doctor Long, this is a chronic poison that will not be noticed at first and will last for at least eight years.
He became ill five years ago when he was seventeen years old, and eight years before that, when he was nine years old.
That's when the person who poisoned him started.
Who is that person?
Over the years, his mother told him this and that.
He was not allowed to see anyone except his sister, who was born to the same mother as him.
His mother was on high alert, and no suspicious person approached him from the time she discovered he was poisoned until he left the palace and came to this hot spring villa.
But as soon as he came out, he found something wrong.
It seemed that once he came out, his mother's strict defense was gone.
He spotted two suspicious people.
He didn't believe it was because of his mother's negligence, so he wondered, why was this happening?
The Queen Mother wants him to be killed?
But he is the queen mother's only son. If he dies, other brothers will definitely become the crown prince. What good will that do to his queen mother?
So he asked his confidant to find out who sent the person.
His confidants were given to him by the emperor. They were a group of people trained by the Dragon Shadow Guard and would replace the Dragon Shadow Guard in the future.
It is his responsibility. As long as he says no, the emperor cannot order these people around.
When the Dragon Shadow Guard trains people, the first thing they do is to cultivate their loyalty.
Just like before, the late emperor ordered a team of Dragon Shadow Guards to obey the orders of the current emperor, who was still a prince, and they only listened to him.
The current emperor originally asked Mo Hui to protect Xiao Xiuxiu and only obey Xiao Xiuxiu's orders. Until now, Mo Hui is still loyal to Xiao Xiuxiu in his heart.
Therefore, the group of people sent by the current emperor to the prince are very reliable.
The prince would not think there was anything wrong with asking them to investigate the queen and her family.
"Your Highness, are you awake? The kitchen has made dumplings, and Eunuch Fu asked me to bring them to the Crown Prince!"
A little palace maid came in, with her head lowered and a terrified look on her face.
"Well, put it down!"
The prince sat on the stool beside the table.
On New Year's Eve, even if he is alone and his wife and children are not around, he still has to eat a few dumplings as a token of his appreciation.
The prince has three women, one princess and two concubines. They are all his favorites and he chose them himself. They were given positions based on their family background and status.
He also had four children, a son and a daughter born to the Crown Princess, and a son each to two concubines.
It was a coincidence that the three of them entered the palace one after another, and that year happened to be the year when the crown prince fell ill. When the crown prince fell ill, the three concubines happened to be pregnant, and they gave birth to three sons in succession the following year.
After the child was born, he was diagnosed as very healthy by Doctor Long, so the prince could still have sex with her, but he had to be restrained. So, three years later, last year, the princess gave birth to a daughter.
His three beloved concubines and four children are still waiting for him, and he must not get into any trouble.
If something happens to him, his younger brothers who want to compete for the position of crown prince will regard his sons as thorns in their eyes.
Nothing must happen.
“Cough cough cough…”
Just thinking about this, the prince coughed excitedly and then vomited blood.
He looked at the blood on his palm and forced himself to calm down.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
The palace maid who brought in the dumplings was waiting at the door for the prince to finish eating. When she heard the cough, she hurried in.
