"Mr. Shan, you said that there was something going on between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Master Yun. Do you have any evidence?"

The expression on Shan Hui's face became even more sullen.

"There is no need for me, the guilty concubine, to explain this matter. Everyone in the palace is a witness." Shan Hui's eyes swept over the maids and eunuchs present.

Everyone was secretly pondering what they had seen and heard over the past few days.

Master Yun was extremely beautiful, with an extraordinary temperament. Not to mention the entire palace, even in the whole world, only he could be a match for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's illness was incurable, but Master Yun only played a piece of music on the zither and said a few words to wake him up from his sickbed. Since Master Yun came to Yuanheng Palace, he has slept in the same room and laid on the same bed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and all kinds of intimate actions were done with him.

Not to mention that the day before yesterday, when Master Yun fell into the water, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately risked his life to save him.

Everyone was silent.

Of course the emperor was not blind. Once Shan Hui pointed it out, he recalled what had happened in the past few days and became furious again.

"Rebellious son! Rebellious son!" He pointed at Murong Nan, his hands trembling. "As a dignified prince, you should have become a wise ruler, but I didn't expect you... to be so lowly! You violated the rules and regulations and are ashamed of your ancestors! You... you... if you just wanted to have fun and didn't take it to heart, it would be fine. But you actually teamed up with the queen and harmed your body for a mere male favorite! With such a virtue, you are not worthy of being my son!"

"He is not a male pet." Murong Nan's face was stern: "Father, where love is strong, the living can die, and the dead can live. You don't understand."

"You!" The emperor was so angry that he almost fainted.

Yun Weizhi certainly couldn't use such insulting words as "male pet" to address Murong Nan.

He is his God.

Murong Nangui is the crown prince. He has been the center of attention since he was a child, but he has never been truly impressed by anyone.

Until that time, Murong Nan was banished to Ningzhou, and was seriously injured in an ambush. He was only fifteen years old at that time. He leaned against a bamboo beside the stream alone. There was no one around him, only the sad sound of cicadas. What Murong Nan thought at that time was that he might die here.

He was not afraid of death, he just couldn't accept that in all the past ten years of his life, he had not met a confidant, a person to whom he could confide his heart.

Then Yun Weizhi appeared.

Murong Nan has been arrogant and domineering all his life, but when he met Yun Weizhi, he just wanted to transform into a bamboo leaf and stick it in his hair, or be stepped on by him, any of which would be fine.

"All the sins are caused by him." The emperor laughed in anger and said, "Then I have no choice but to sentence him to death."

"..."Murong Nan stood silently in front of Li Yuebai.

"I have heard that lovesickness is not incurable." Shan Hui said with a smug smile, "As long as we chop Master Yun into pieces alive in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then let the dogs and cats in the palace come and eat them up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's illness will be cured."

In the field of vision, the death countdown in the lower right corner turned into one.

That means you only have one day to live.

Li Yuebai was angry, really angry.

You guys treat me as if I don’t exist, right?

Dare to kill Yun Weizhi, have you asked Murong Nan?

Most importantly, have you asked me?

If Teacher Bai doesn't show his power, you won't know what a sick cat is!

Li Yuebai coughed twice lightly.

"Your Majesty, my life or death is not worth mentioning, but this matter concerns the reputation of the royal family." He withdrew the gentle smile that was always on his face, and his face was as cold as ice: "Please allow me to say a few nonsense words."

"What do you have to say now?" Shan Hui sneered.

"There is no physical relationship between me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," Li Yuebai said.

With the white veil between them, he didn't have to pretend to faint.

"We were lying on the same bed, just talking about music theory." Li Yuebai said solemnly: "I rode a horse for thousands of miles to save Your Highness, just because of the friendship between the rivers and lakes. Your Highness risked his life to jump into the icy lake to save me, just because of the friendship between the rivers and lakes."

Everyone was shocked.

There are people in the world who are so shameless and lie so blatantly.

"If sleeping on the same bed means you are physically related, the saints in ancient times often discussed the great principles of the universe on the same bed... Should they be slandered by a villain?" Li Yuebai said.

"Ridiculous!" Shan Hui laughed. "Then how do you explain the various signs that the Crown Prince showed in Yu's study yesterday?"

"Yesterday in Yu's study, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince assisted His Majesty in handling government affairs. Even if we don't talk about merit, he shouldn't have done anything wrong, right?" Li Yuebai pretended to be confused.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince wore the white inner garment of Master Yun, which was made of Ningzhou silk." Shan Hui said, "Everyone knows that only when there is physical intimacy can one wear the other's clothes."

"Are you referring to this one?" Murong Nan rolled up the sleeves of his black robe with a cold face, revealing the white lining underneath.

"That's right!" Shan Hui's eyes lit up: "It's this one. I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince liked Master Yun's clothes too much and didn't change them today!"

"Wrong." Murong Nan replied coldly: "This dress does not belong to Brother Yun."

"If it's not his, then whose else could it belong to?" Shan Hui was furious.

"Three years ago, my father got a piece of white silk from Ningzhou and ordered someone to make it into a garment and gave it to me as a gift." Murong Nan smiled and said, "I don't like white clothes, so I kept it and never wore it."

"Then, why do you suddenly like me again?" Shan Hui's eyes went dark.

"It's no wonder that I'm happy about the gift from my father," said Murong Nan.

The emperor frowned and coughed a few times, then his anger eased a little when he remembered that this had indeed happened.

"Your Majesty, I dare not speculate rashly. There is a mark as evidence!" Shan Hui raised her hand and pointed directly at Murong Nan's collar: "Just inside the collar of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there are marks of lovemaking! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sleeps on the same bed with Master Yun every night. There are marks of lovemaking. What does this mean?"

"This?" Murong Nan gently pulled open his collar, revealing a dark red area, which seemed to be a bruise caused by someone sucking.

"Yes, it's this mark!" Shan Hui gritted her teeth.

Murong Nan used the sleeve of his white undergarment, dipped it in the wine held by the maid next to him, and rubbed the mark back and forth several times. After wiping it off, a dark red stain was left on the white sleeve.

"When I was writing, the cinnabar and ochre pigments were accidentally stained." Murong Nan replied calmly.

"..." Shan Hui didn't know how to answer for a moment. Her eyes went blank. This feeling was exactly the same as the last time she was exposed!

"Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice." Eunuch An advised the emperor: "Perhaps the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Master Yun is really not as Shan Shuren said?"

"Humph, so what if it is, so what if it isn't?" Shan Hui sneered, "Even if what was seen in the study was wrong, the Queen colluded with the Prince and used a self-torture scheme to harm her body, the culprit was Master Yun!"

The queen's face was filled with anger, while the maids and eunuchs' faces were filled with fear.

She condoned and even assisted her son in taking poison in order to trick his beloved person into coming. Such an empress is probably unprecedented in history and rare in the world.

"Wrong." Li Yuebai said: "The Queen and the Crown Prince have never done such a thing!"

"Why not?" Shan Hui argued: "The prescription was written by the Queen, and the medical book also says that Cassia seeds and sandalwood will cause poisoning. Everything is clear!"

"Speaking of this, I have the courage to correct some misunderstandings. Some folk medical books have many errors and omissions. Some medical books even state that peaches and melons cannot be eaten together... This has caused the people to be terrified and suspicious." Li Yuebai said, "Even if it is a work by a famous master, it may not be completely trusted due to the long time. I dare to say that cassia seeds and sandalwood will not cause poisoning at all! The imperial physician just said so, but no real example has been found."

Teacher Bai never imagined that the rumors popular in modern WeChat Moments, that eating various XX and OO together will cause poisoning, would actually come true in this world. It seems that human beings are the same in their stupidity everywhere.

"Lian Xin, Lian Xin just tried the medicine!" Shan Hui stood up and staggered towards the bedroom where Lian Xin was resting, pointing at Lian Xin lying on the bed poisoned: "With so many eyes watching, Lian Xin was really poisoned after trying the medicine!"

"Pfft..." Li Yuebai couldn't hold back any longer and laughed out loud.

"You are about to die, and you can still laugh?" Shan Hui said angrily.

"Lian Xin tried the medicine, could it be fake?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

"I deserve to die." Several imperial doctors looked at each other and stepped forward to plead guilty.

"Wasn't it you who just prepared the medicine for Lian Xin? Where did the crime come from?" asked the emperor.

"Just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince privately instructed us," several imperial doctors said tremblingly, "to not bring the actual medicine made from the Queen's prescription, but just a bowl of coptis root water, which does not contain cassia seed, but real sandalwood."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's instructions were, of course, Li Yuebai's instructions.

"What? The medicine Lian Xin drank was fake?" Eunuch An was shocked.

"What Lian Xin drank had nothing to do with the Empress's prescription, but she still fainted from the poison." Li Yuebai said, "Either she pretended to be poisoned, or she secretly took another poison in order to frame the Empress."

Once again, the frame-up of the Queen was exposed!

Shan Huihun was shaking all over and almost fainted.

"If Your Majesty still doesn't believe it, you can try it again. This time, use real medicine. I am willing to try it." Li Yuebai said.

Of course, he would be fine no matter how much he drank.

"Shan Hui, you have slandered the Empress and the Crown Prince again. What crime should you be punished for?" the Emperor said angrily.

"At worst, I'll just die of old age in Huixin Courtyard!" Seeing that she had failed again, Shan Hui simply stopped pretending and sneered.

As long as Grand Tutor Zhao is still around, there will always be a way. The Queen's party can escape once, twice, but can they escape a third or fourth time?

"However, Shan Hui's words have reminded me." Li Yuebai bowed to the emperor and said seriously, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has always been in good health. Why did he suddenly fall seriously ill this time, and we still can't find the cause?"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

Could it be that Master Yun is going to reveal the real reason why the prince is ill?

There have been a lot of major events in the palace recently, and the root cause is still the Crown Prince's serious illness.

What exactly is it? Everyone is racking their brains.

"Yes, someone did poison His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Li Yuebai spoke word by word: "Of course, this person was not the Empress, nor was it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself."

"Who is it then?" Even the emperor's expression became serious.

"Ding Xian." Li Yuebai raised his hand and pointed at the trembling little eunuch.
