Zhao Cheng: "Divine Physician Gu, why haven't you prepared any medicine for His Highness for so many days?"
The divine physician, who was studying the medicinal herbs he had bought from Fangcao Pavilion, said without turning his head, "The Crown Prince had a fortuitous encounter and bought some excellent medicine. He has already recovered. Young brother, you can rest assured that His Highness is well."
Zhao Cheng returned to his room, feeling uneasy, and finally got up to go to the Crown Prince's study.
Ever since he was assigned to take care of the Crown Prince's daily needs, the Crown Prince had always treated him very well. However, he had been secretly drugging the Crown Prince all along. He felt guilty about it, but now that he knew the Crown Prince had recovered, he was in a panic.

After knocking on the door and entering, Zhao Cheng knelt down directly in front of the Crown Prince.
The crown prince looked at the servant who had taken care of him for many years with a complicated expression. In the end, he couldn't bear to be too harsh on him and sighed, "Speak up if you have something to say."
Zhao Cheng bowed deeply and said, "Your Highness, I...I am sorry."
She closed her eyes briefly and said with difficulty, "Over the years, I...I have been secretly adding a drug that weakens your body to your medicine."
The Crown Prince sighed softly.
Zhao Cheng opened his mouth but remained silent, only kowtowing repeatedly, saying, "This servant is guilty, this servant has failed Your Highness, please punish me."
In fact, the Crown Prince had already learned that Zhao Cheng was the one who drugged him. Murong Qing had confessed to him before that Zhao Cheng was originally unwilling, but he was coerced by the grace of saving his life.
Murong Qing originally intended to tell Zhao Cheng the situation, but he forgot because of Mu Ya's matter.
After learning the details, Murong Zhi did not intend to pursue the matter further and therefore did not mention it. After all, putting aside the matter of drugging, Zhao Cheng had done his best and worked diligently over the years, whether out of compensation or for some other reason.
In his early years, Murong Qing rescued Zhao Cheng, who was beaten to the point of near death, from the clutches of a palace concubine.
That was when Murong Qing was seven years old. He was very well-behaved and obedient then. From a young age, Qin Fei had taught him to treat others with kindness. One day, while playing, he accidentally got lost and ended up in the courtyard of a palace concubine. He saw Zhao Cheng beaten bloody and mangled. He was both frightened and couldn't bear it, so he suppressed his fear and pleaded with the concubine, asking for Zhao Cheng back. At that time, Zhao Cheng was only about ten years old. The concubine didn't care about the life or death of a little eunuch and didn't mind giving Murong Qing face, so she gave him the child.
After Qin Fei led her people to find Murong Qing and learned the whole story, she felt pity for Zhao Cheng, who had already fainted. She then had the palace servants take him back and invited the imperial physician to come and treat him.
Grateful for Qin Fei and Murong Qing's life-saving grace, Zhao Cheng worked even harder. He was intelligent, meticulous, and diligent, earning the favor of the Imperial Noble Consort. Later, he was assigned to care for the ailing Murong Zhi. The Imperial Noble Consort's intentions were good, but unexpectedly…
Murong Zhi got up and walked to Zhao Cheng's side, helping him up.
I told him about Murong Qing.
Upon learning that Murong Qing had repented, Zhao Cheng felt relieved. He then knelt down and pleaded, "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince is still young, and he has already repented. I hope Your Highness can give him a chance to reform for the sake of the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor. This servant is willing to atone with his death." After speaking, he kowtowed heavily.
The day has finally come. He has been living in struggle and guilt all these years. Now that he has confessed everything to the Crown Prince, he has finally been relieved of the heavy burden that has been weighing on his heart for so long.
He was not afraid of death, and facing death calmly might have been a relief for him.
Looking back on his life, he had repaid what he owed his parents and Murong Qing, but he was willing to give his life to repay what he owed the Crown Prince.
