"The pill your father took was made by an evil cultivator using children. Every ingredient in it is extremely potent. While taking it, it can activate the body's potential, making people feel that their bodies have instantly regained their vitality. It creates a strong dependence on the drug. Once you stop taking it, the body will quickly lose its vitality until death."
Even if you continue taking the medication, you will die from bodily exhaustion after six months.
Upon hearing this, Yun Hao's pupils contracted slightly. "So, my third brother is going to commit patricide?"
"How long has your father been taking this medicine?" Su Ruojin asked.
"It's been about four months."
That means Emperor Yunqi only has two months left at most.
"Can it be saved?" Yun Hao asked.
Su Ruojin raised an eyebrow. "I didn't realize that the Second Prince was so filial to his father, the Emperor, and even thought of saving his life."
Yun Hao sneered, "From birth to adulthood, I've only seen him once, at the New Year's Eve palace banquet. I've never seen him in all the other years. We've exchanged no more than ten words in total. What feelings could there be? He probably doesn't even remember that I'm his son. I just want to know if he has any chance of living."
Su Ruojin shook her head. "No, if I had only taken it for a few days, I would have been confident that I could clear the toxins from my body. But after taking it for four months, even a god couldn't save me."
"There are still two months left..." Yun Hao fell into deep thought.
"Second Prince, I don't know what your plans are, but whatever they are, you'd better make arrangements in advance. The Third Prince probably can't wait any longer." After saying that, Su Ruojin got up to take her leave.
After Su Ruojin left, Yan Gang asked, puzzled, "Second Prince, what did Princess Chang Le find out?"
Yun Hao smiled slightly, "With her intelligence, even if she doesn't know, she can guess some of it."
As expected of the woman chosen by Senior Brother Xiao, only a woman like her is worthy of Senior Brother Xiao.

Qinniang has been in a good mood lately, and today she took Yingzi out to buy pastries.
Yingzi was happy to know that she would not return to Tangzhou and would have to stay in Yuncheng to find her father. She held her mother's hand and skipped around happily.
"Mom, let's buy some osmanthus cake for my little brother."
Qinniang smiled and said, "My little brother is still too young to eat osmanthus cake. Just buy whatever you want."
"Okay, then when my little brother grows up, I'll buy him these, as well as jujube paste cake and mung bean cake."
“Okay, I’ll buy them all,” Qin Niang replied softly.
Just then, a carriage passed by them, and the curtain was blown open by the wind. Yingzi turned her head and saw the man sitting by the window through that corner. Her pupils dilated instantly.
"Father..." Yingzi murmured.
Qin Niang didn't hear her clearly at first, "Yingzi, what did you say?"
The carriage moved forward, and Yingzi broke free from Qinniang's hand and ran towards the carriage, calling out, "Father, Father, it's me, Yingzi!"
Father?!
Qinniang heard Yingzi's shout clearly and suddenly looked up at the carriage in front of her.
Inside the carriage, Yan Gang also heard Yingzi's voice. He lifted the curtain and looked out, seeing Yingzi chasing after the carriage, crying and shouting.
Yingzi!
It's Yingzi!
Yan Gang recognized his daughter at a glance and his eyes widened.
Qin Niang exchanged a glance with Yan Gang, then quickly looked away and rushed forward to grab Yingzi, saying, "Yingzi, you've mistaken him for someone else. That's not your father."
"Mother, Mother, that's Father! I'm not mistaken, he is Father! Father, it's me, Yingzi!"
Yingzi tried to break free from Qinniang to chase after the carriage, but Qinniang held her tightly, and in the end she could only cry in Qinniang's arms.
"Mother, does Father not want Yingzi anymore? Why won't he acknowledge me?"
Seeing her daughter's heartbroken expression, Qinniang's eyes also reddened. She gently comforted her, "Yingzi, I saw it too. That's not Father. You must have mistaken him. Trust me. Father loves Yingzi so much, how could he not acknowledge her?"
