Master Tianyi shook his head. "His pulse is very strange. It doesn't feel like a deadly poison, but he just won't wake up."
Should we tell them?
Master Tianyi raised his hand and said, "No, observe for a few more days. I will study the antidote further. This matter should not be revealed to others for now."
How could he let anyone know that he couldn't cure the Third Prince?
"Master, how should we explain this to them?" Zhu Huang asked.
"Just say that the Third Prince angered Princess Chang Le and was poisoned by her. The poison has been neutralized, but he is weak and needs to rest in the Taoist temple for a few days. Everything will proceed as planned."
"Yes, Master." Zhu Chao withdrew.

Yunqi Imperial Palace.
Weiyang Palace.
Empress Sun looked at the secret letter in her hand and smiled slightly, "This time, the third prince has really lost more than he gained."
Granny Kong, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Her Majesty's excellent arrangement."
"The third prince has been spoiled by His Majesty lately and has become so arrogant that he dares to covet Princess Chang Le. I only revealed a little bit of information, and he rushed over there. He even obediently listened to Zhu Chao's advice, hoping to make it a done deal in one fell swoop."
"Your Majesty is brilliant. In this way, Princess Chang Le will no longer have any good impression of the Third Prince." Granny Kong took the secret letter from Empress Sun's hand and skillfully burned it on the candle.
"It seems that Princess Chang Le is indeed quite extraordinary, otherwise the third brother would not be so eager to use such a despicable method to try to possess her first."
"When I saw Princess Chang Le last time, she was indeed quite beautiful. Your Highness will be able to see her at the poetry gathering in a few days," Granny Kong reminded her.
Empress Sun nodded, "Yes, I also hope it's a good one, so that it's worthy of my godson. Tell my godson to be prepared, so that he won't disappoint me."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. The First Prince has always listened to you since he was a child, and he will certainly not disappoint you this time."
"My godson is a good one, and all my efforts in planning for him have not been in vain. By the way, what's the situation with Consort Le?" Empress Sun asked.
Granny Kong bowed and replied, "Consort Le's prayer ceremony has ended, and on the way back, everything is still the same as before."
Empress Sun scoffed, "Does this second son really think Tianyi would step in to save Consort Le? The medicine Consort Le takes is all made by Tianyi himself. Fine, let him do what he wants, so that no one will say I'm not considerate of him."
Granny Kong had some doubts in her heart and asked, "Your Highness, the timing of the Second Prince's trip to the temple to pray for blessings and Princess Chang Le's group's trip to the temple is rather coincidental."
Empress Sun waved her hand dismissively: "Does the second prince dare to have designs on this Princess Chang Le? What can a cripple like him do to compete with my godson? Tianyi has been keeping an eye on him and hasn't noticed anything unusual. He's nothing more than a dog I raised for my godson. As long as I keep Consort Le under my control, he can't escape my grasp."
"Your Majesty is wise." Granny Kong was relieved.
"Yun Qi can only be my godson's, and I will not allow anyone to stand in his way!" A fierce glint flashed in Empress Sun's eyes.

Su Ruojin and her group returned to the Zhao residence. Yanluo hurriedly took Yingzi to look for Qinniang, but Qinniang was not there.
As long as Yingzi was not found, Qinniang was uneasy. After feeding Chebao, she went out of the mansion again to look for her daughter.
Yingzi was anxious to find her mother, and Yanluo had no choice but to take her out of the mansion to try her luck, hoping to find Qinniang as soon as possible so that she wouldn't have to search all over the city anymore.
Just as she arrived at the gate of the mansion, an older woman rushed in and asked Yanluo, "Are you from the Zhao family?"
Before Yanlu could answer, the aunt saw Yingzi; she recognized the little girl.
The aunt grabbed Yanluo and pulled her outside, shouting, "Quick, Qinniang from your household has been arrested by the authorities!"
