The Duke of Jin was implying that Yun Hao was addicted to brothels and had affairs with brothel women, which was why he was trying to frame the Third Prince.
Yun Hao looked at the Duke of Jin, "Duke of Jin, regardless of whether Miss Liu was a courtesan or not, can you please tell me if this proves that the Immortal Pill is poisonous? If you don't believe me, you can send someone to Huan Yue Lou to investigate whether a Miss Ju'er has died by crashing into a pillar."
After writing his plea for justice in blood, Liu Yu immediately ran into a pillar and died.
Yun Hao looked at Liu Yu, whose eyes were still wide open after death, and slowly reached out to close her eyes. "Miss Liu, rest in peace. I will definitely seek justice for your Liu family in this matter."
Liu Yu's death made Yun Hao even more convinced that there was something strange about the Immortal Pill, which led to what happened next.
"You!" The Duke of Jin was speechless for a moment after being rebuked.
"Enough!" Emperor Kangwen roared. He felt his head throbbing more and more, his vision began to blur, and he was too weak to deal with the matter any longer.
"Consort Xian is temporarily confined to the Zichen Palace, and the Third Prince is confined to his residence. They are not to leave without an imperial edict. The evil Taoist Tianyi has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. Further decisions will be made after the matter is investigated. All of you may leave. Princess Chang Le, please stay."
After everyone had left, Emperor Kangwen covered his head and asked, "Princess, could you please relieve my headache?"
Without hesitation, Su Ruojin took out silver needles and began to administer acupuncture to Emperor Kangwen.
After a few acupuncture treatments, Emperor Kangwen's headache was significantly relieved.
"Princess, what do you think of this matter?" Emperor Kangwen asked with his eyes closed.
Su Ruojin's eyes flickered slightly; this was a test.
Those who can sit on the throne are indeed not simple.
Given how coincidental her appearance was, she would have thought twice if she were in her shoes.
"Your Majesty, I believe you will make your own decision. I will be returning to Great Chu soon, and once I leave the Imperial Study today, I will not remember this matter." Su Ruojin made her stance clear; she was a citizen of Great Chu and would not interfere in this matter.
"I deeply admire the princess for her excellent medical skills at such a young age. I have heard that the princess is not yet betrothed, and several of my sons are of marriageable age. I wonder if the princess has someone she likes? No matter which prince she takes a fancy to, I will certainly not let the princess suffer."
This is to grant Su Ruojin the position of Crown Princess, allowing her to stay in Yunqi.
Indeed, knowing the royal family's secrets, the emperor would not easily let her go.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I already have a sweetheart in the Great Chu. I will marry him as soon as I return to the Great Chu. I can only regret not being able to repay Your Majesty's favor." Su Ruojin politely declined. She dared to take this step because she was not afraid of Emperor Kangwen.
"Oh~ But I have never heard that Princess Chang Le has been engaged in the Great Chu. It seems that the princess does not think highly of my son. That is fine. There are many fine men in Yun Qi. The princess can choose freely. Whoever she chooses, I will make him my son-in-law."
This is tantamount to promising Su Ruojin the title of Princess Yunqi.
Su Ruojin still had a faint smile on her face, neither humble nor arrogant, "I have been away from home for fifteen years. Now that my parents have just found me, they do not want me to marry far away. I cannot be an unfilial daughter for my own glory."
"His Majesty's headache has subsided and he needs to rest. I will take my leave now to instruct Imperial Physician Wang on acupuncture techniques, so that His Majesty will have someone to care for him from now on and will no longer need to endure the pain of his headache."
The most severe symptom of the later stages of the "Immortal Pill" is headache, followed by poisoning and death from a head hemorrhage.
As Emperor Kangwen watched Su Ruojin's departing figure, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
"Huang Rensheng, the Crown Prince's Consort has entered the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty."

Back at the Zhao residence, Su Ruojin fell into deep thought.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door. "Miss, someone from the First Prince's residence has come and requests to see you."
The First Prince's Residence?
Why come looking for her at this time?
However, since she was from the Prince's residence, Su Ruojin responded and then went to the front hall, where Zhao Jingning was already there.
When the nanny waiting in the front hall saw Su Ruojin come out, she bowed respectfully and presented an invitation with both hands.
"This servant greets Your Highness. Your Highness, my Crown Prince's Consort is holding a plum blossom appreciation banquet the day after tomorrow, and I humbly request Your Highness's presence."
Yanluo accepted the invitation, and the old woman politely bowed and took her leave.
Zhao Jingning also had the same invitation. She was a little puzzled. "Sister Jin, the eldest prince is six months pregnant. Instead of taking good care of his pregnancy, how come he has the leisure to hold a plum blossom appreciation banquet?"
