"This is impossible! How could Jiayang do such a thing? Does she want to die? Impossible!"
Princess Rui was no longer tough when Mrs. Chang pulled and pushed her. She said it was impossible, but she knew in her heart that it was true.
Prince Rui lowered his head and thought about the medicine. The source must be found out. This was not only for himself, but he was Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty after all and needed to consider the overall situation.
"Your Majesty, could this be arranged by Qi?"
The emperor also guessed so, but everything had to wait until Jiayang woke up. He just hoped that she could survive.
Suddenly he thought of something and called the chief of the Yuwei Army, asking him to immediately send someone to guard outside the treatment area.
If there really are spies from other countries, they certainly don't want to find out the truth.
"What? Was it the princess who gave me the medicine? Why would she want to harm me like this? Doesn't she know that with my strength, I would really massacre the entire palace?
I'm also very confused as to how I managed to take Chinese medicine, as everything I ate was fine!"
"These medicines were given separately. It's fine if you use them separately!"
"Mom, could it be that I was poisoned first, and then they gave me another drug after I went to the side hall?"
Bai Zhiyue thought about the substance in her son's test results that was not in the food, and they must have made a two-step plan.
"Your Majesty, I would like to request that all those serving in the side hall be interrogated. The child suddenly vomited and was changed in the side hall. Perhaps the child's illness was caused by the effects of one of the medicines. This was their plan."
The emperor also thought of this and immediately sent people to arrest the people and interrogate them separately.
"Your Majesty, please ask Qinglian to bring me an outer garment. Have the imperial physician examine it to see if there are any residues. Also check the tea in the room, as I drank tea there. Also, find the dirty clothes that my son and I changed out of and have the imperial physician examine them as well."
"good!"
The emperor has already believed that this was done by the fool Jiayang, but how he got the medicine needs to be found out.
The person sent to interrogate the palace maid has received news.
"Your Majesty, several palace maids who once served Lord Rongfu in the side hall said that the princess's maid had been there and stayed in the tea room."
"Ask what kind of tea is given to Rongfugong, and make sure the teapot has been cleaned. Check each one!"
"yes"
After calling in all the possible problems, the imperial physician carefully examined them one by one and reported to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, although the soiled clothes of the young marquis and Lord Rongfu have been cleaned, there are indeed residues. It can be confirmed that the young marquis vomited because of one of the drugs.
There is indeed another medicine put in this tea. Others will not have any problems if they drink it alone, but only when Mr. Rongfu comes into contact with the other medicine, he will definitely have an outbreak if he drinks this tea again.
They probably didn't dare use the two drugs at the same time because it would be too easy to be discovered, and they were probably also afraid that one of their own people might accidentally get infected."
Bai Zhiyue looked at the Rui Wang couple angrily.
"She has such a vicious mind that she didn't even spare my son, using him to drug him and make him sick. Have you ever considered that if I go crazy, the first person I'll kill might be this little boy?
Last time she tried to drug me, I let her go, but she's so unrepentant, does she really think I wouldn't dare kill her?
Bai Zhiyue was really angry at this moment, she was not pretending.
Putting Doudou in danger is absolutely intolerable.
"Your Majesty, this matter will not be let go like this. I will kill her with my own hands."
He suddenly exerted force with his hands and rolled the guard's knife into a ball. With this momentum, no one dared to look at him.
"You are too arrogant. My daughter is a member of the royal family after all. How can you behave like this?"
Princess Rui was still trying to save face. Even though she didn't dare to look at her, she still kept a tough mouth. She was simply relying on her reputation as a member of the royal family and felt that the emperor would not let Bai step on her face.
"Jiayang is your daughter. What she did is enough to confiscate the family property. Shouldn't the emperor put the princess in jail? She keeps shouting about it. I even suspect that she knows everything and is deliberately trying to exonerate her daughter.
If you know about this and don't report it, you will be guilty of the same crime as Jiayang!"
"You're talking nonsense. How could I know that?"
"You said you didn't know, so you didn't know, haha!"
Prince Rui was angry at his own princess for not being able to see the situation clearly, and also at Bai Zhiyue's arrogance, but what his daughter had done was no longer a problem directed at her alone, and he couldn't even ask the emperor for mercy on this matter.
Of course, the emperor did not intend to let Jiayang go, but it was indeed unreasonable to let the Bai family take action.
"Lord Rongfu, please be at ease. You and Marquis Anding have suffered in this matter, but Jiayang's actions will be punished according to the law of the country. I will not show any mercy. Don't say you took action yourself. It's not right!"
Bai Zhiyue didn't expect the emperor to really agree, but if Prince Rui and his wife hated her because of this, she didn't mind getting rid of them secretly. Originally, she thought Prince Rui was fair and had considerable prestige in the court, so she showed him some mercy.
Bai Zhiyue looked straight at Prince Rui, trying to get his attitude from his eyes.
Prince Rui felt ten years older at this moment, and bowed his head to the emperor.
"I know very well that what Jiayang did was excessive. He gambled the entire palace and court for his own selfish reasons. This was truly a grave mistake. I am deeply ashamed of my inability to raise my daughter.
"But the princess and I were truly unaware of this matter. Please, Your Majesty, investigate and clear our name. Until the day I die, I will remain a prince of Daliang and a subject of Daliang. I will never collaborate with an enemy nation."
"Uncle Wang, don't worry. I trust you. Everything will become clear once Jiayang wakes up!"
"Your Majesty, Lord Rongfu, I only ask that my daughter's body be left intact."
"Your Majesty~"
"Shut up! It's because of your indiscriminate pampering that things have gotten to this point. If you keep saying one more thing, go back to your parents' house!"
The princess nodded and did not dare to speak again.
It would be too embarrassing to be divorced at this age. Besides, her family has already had such a quarrel with her, where can she go back to?
Come to think of it, it’s because of my daughter. She’s been spoiled after all.
"I agree!"
Prince Rui and the Emperor looked at Bai Zhiyue. Humph, they were all afraid that she would do something cruel in secret and make her die a miserable death.
Since King Rui doesn't have much hatred
"All right, Your Majesty!"
Over the past year or so, my abilities have recovered to the best level of my previous life. Now I speak with more confidence and am no longer as afraid of this and that as I was at the beginning.
Another feather guard reported
"Your Majesty, we captured a spy and were about to kill the princess when we stopped him."
"Sure enough, how is the princess?"
"The imperial doctors have tried their best to save him, and he has regained consciousness. However, the bleeding won't stop. I'm afraid..."
"My son~"
Princess Rui cried out
"Quick, I want to ask myself!"
The emperor took Prince Rui and his wife, as well as Bai Zhiyue and her son, with him, while the Chang family stayed behind.
The princess in the house was taken care of and dressed, but she was already pale and unrecognizable, and it was obvious that she had lost too much blood.
The emperor did not dare to waste time and directly asked someone to feed him a truth medicine.
"Who gave you that medicine?!"
"It was given by a eunuch beside Concubine Tao!"
"Princess Tao?"
She is the mother of the second prince. She has always been low-key and never participated in the struggles in the palace. She only focused on living her own life with her son. Some time ago, the mother of the eldest prince began to win over people, but she did not move.
The emperor has already investigated this matter, how could it be her?
