Chapter 206: Who will drink?

Shi Xiangcheng stopped moving immediately.

A sensible child should first learn not to cause trouble for His Highness before he is able to save himself.

The prince walked into the temple, looked at her and said, "I am here, let him go, the child is innocent."

The woman in green said with a smile, "Your Highness, you really love the people like your own children. You dare to come in for a child who has nothing to do with you. With your current physical condition, I can kill you at any time."

The prince coughed weakly a few times, and after a while he said calmly, "You want to kill me?"

"Your Highness, are you willing to give it to me?" asked the woman in green.

The prince laughed and said, "You only have one life. If you give it away, it's gone. I'm naturally unwilling to give it away."

The woman in green narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Then take this child, and leave a good prince for all the people in the world."

The prince's eyes changed, and he said, "Stop."

As his emotions changed, he coughed several times: "You didn't ask me to come here to watch him die. Tell me your purpose, maybe I can satisfy you."

The woman in green smiled and threw him a small bottle. The prince took it reluctantly and looked over with a frown.

"He Ding Hong. You drink it, or he drinks it, Your Highness, you choose."

The prince held the bottle tightly and stared at the woman with raised eyebrows.

The little devil had just learned the names of several common poisons recently, and was stunned when he heard the name "Hedinghong". This was the most poisonous drug in the world and there was no antidote.

Zong Jincheng said anxiously: "Your Highness, you can't drink it, it will kill people!"

The woman in green patted his head and said, "Boy, you'd better not stop him, or you will have to drink this Crane Ding Hong."

The little devil glared at her: "I'll drink, I'll drink, don't harm His Highness!"

The prince's brows trembled slightly when he heard this, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The woman in green said with a smile, "You little brat, I didn't expect you to be such a gutsy person despite all your nonsense. Okay, if the prince doesn't want to drink it, I'll let you taste it and satisfy your curiosity."

The little devil continued to glare at her.

Bad guy, who would be curious about what poison smells like!

The prince held the red bottle and chuckled, "Jincheng, when you grow up, you must be a good official, a good official who works for the people. Remember what I said, don't be tough with others, and be circumventing others so as not to offend them. Only by protecting yourself first can you protect more people."

The little devil's eyes started to shed tears when he heard this. He nodded suddenly, then began to shake his head: "Your Highness, I remember everything. I remember everything. I will listen to you. But don't drink that. It will kill people. It will really kill people..."

The prince's fingers were so thin that their joints were clearly visible. He uncorked the bottle and said, "I hope you will keep your promise. As long as I drink this, you will release the person."

“No, you can’t drink it, Your Highness, you can’t drink it…” The little devil was so anxious that he wanted to break free, but was held down by the woman in green.

The prince took up the bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

“Boom—”

The bottle smashed to the ground, and the prince fell down with it. He half-knelt on the ground with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

The poison is powerful and takes effect immediately.

"Your Highness!" Zong Jincheng burst into tears and struggled to crawl over, but was held back by the woman in green.

She dragged Zong Jincheng out, and when she came to the prince's side, she said, "It's hard to believe that a prince of a country would swallow poison for a child who has nothing to do with him."

After that, she took the little devil out and said to the people outside: "Get out of the way. I will let this kid go when I am safe."

"Where is the prince!" the guard shouted anxiously.

The woman in green said, "Of course he is in the temple. Let me out, or this boy will die with me."

Zong Jincheng shouted in grief: "Don't let her go, she killed your highness, she made your highness drunk!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked towards the temple anxiously. The woman in green immediately turned pale. She gritted her teeth and said, "The poison is not effective, so the prince will not die. But if you continue to hinder me, then I can't say for sure."

"Let her go." The Crown Princess walked in from outside with a big belly and gave the order with a serious face.

"Yes." The people in the East Palace obeyed the order and made way.

The woman in green pulled Zong Jincheng back, and when they reached a safe place, she threw Zong Jincheng into the sky, turned around and ran away.

"Cui Liu, save Jin Cheng." Xu Wan shouted.

The little devil was thrown into the air and rolled, but was caught steadily by Cui Liu. When he saw Xu Wan, he couldn't jump out immediately, and threw himself into her arms and cried, "Mother, that bad person made His Highness drink Hedinghong, which is poison. His Highness will die. He died to save me..."

Xu Wan's heart shuddered, and she looked towards the ruined temple worriedly.

The Crown Princess brought the imperial physician with her so that anyone injured could be treated in time. Although this was expected, when she saw blood oozing from the corners of His Highness' mouth, she couldn't help but said with red eyes, "Your Highness... Quick, imperial physician, save His Highness!"

The prince still had a little bit of consciousness. When he saw that it was her, his pale face wrinkled, "Qingrong, didn't I tell you not to come? You are about to give birth. Don't, don't disturb the baby."

He had guessed who the other party was before he came. There were many eyes watching him the whole time. If someone really wanted to kill him, he would have done it long ago and would not have waited until now.

What's more, the other party captured Jincheng, so it must be to test his relationship with Jincheng, so he was sure that the bottle of poison must not be Hedinghong.

Jin Cheng's identity cannot be discovered so early, he needs to buy some time for Jin Cheng's growth...

The Crown Princess cried and said, "I am worried, Your Highness, I am worried. You promised me that you would be fine, so why did you hurt yourself so badly?"

The prince smiled faintly, held her hand, and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I, I'm fine..."

As he said this he fell into a coma.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

The drug that the prince was poisoned with was not Hedinghong, but just an ordinary poison. After drinking it, he would bleed immediately, but it would not harm his internal organs. He would be fine after the imperial physician cleared the poison.

But the news that the prince had rescued Jin Cheng alone soon spread throughout the capital, and an outrageous but intriguing rumor emerged.

"Have you heard? The little bully in the Yuanyang Marquis's Mansion is actually the prince's son. The prince was willing to sacrifice his own life to save him."

"That's fake. How old is that kid? Are you saying that the Crown Prince became a father at the age of fifteen? But he didn't marry the Crown Princess until he was eighteen?"

"What's the big deal? In the royal family, there are people who become fathers at the age of twelve. This one is obviously a concubine's child. They must be too embarrassed to raise him themselves, so they entrusted him to the main family."

"Yes, I think so too. I heard from my nephew and aunt that the prince liked the little bully the first time he saw him. In order to protect him, he even punished the kid from the Zhai family for copying books. Now it's been almost a year and he still hasn't finished copying and was released. How is this different from being in prison?"

"I also heard that the prince goes to the Marquis' Mansion for one day every month just to spend time with that little bully. If this isn't his biological father, then what is he? Who would go to see another family's child at a fixed time when he has nothing else to do?"

"Oh my god, that little bully is already the leader of the four little playboys. If he becomes the prince's son, wouldn't he cause a big commotion in the capital?"
