Chu Xuanhan held Mo Yaohua's hand with his backhand, "I'm afraid she will have a miscarriage. After all, what happened today was aimed at her."

Mo Yaohua was also worried about her child, and she felt a sense of grief for the victim. "Do you know who did this?"

"Not sure." Chu Xuanhan guessed, "Maybe it was Li Ying, or maybe it was another woman or someone from the princeling party."

Mo Yaohua looked at him pleadingly, her eyes full of worry, "Liu Lang, you must protect our child."

"Of course I want him to land safely, but Yaoyao also has to be careful." Chu Xuanhan knew that many people were staring at the child.

Although the rule of Dongling Kingdom is to establish the legitimate son rather than the eldest son as the heir, the crown prince currently has no children and it is difficult to have an heir, so the throne may not be stable.

Therefore, the eldest grandson of the emperor was destined to have a noble status. This was also the reason why Prince Jin wanted to have a son, but unfortunately things did not go as planned.

If Chu Xuanhan had a grandson, the situation in the court would inevitably change, and there were naturally many people who did not want to see this situation.

Mo Yaohua trusted her dowry very much. "Madame Wu is in charge of my diet. There is also Jinqiu in the courtyard. She is the most attentive."

Chu Xuanhan took the opportunity to hint to her, "It's safe to stay in the courtyard, but if you go out, you will be in danger. Yaoyao, do you understand?"

Mo Yaohua was originally looking forward to going out with him, but now he could only give up the idea, "Understood, Yaoyao, just stay in Wutong Garden obediently."

Even someone as favored as Shen Xiyue couldn't keep her child, so how could she dare to take the risk? If she wanted to show off her status, she had better wait until the child was born.

Chu Xuanhan lowered his head and looked into her eyes affectionately, "Yaoyao, do you know why your courtyard is called Wutong Garden?"

"I don't know. I'm still thinking about whether to change the name. I like Qiong Yao Pavilion." Mo Yaohua disliked the name of the courtyard since the day she entered the mansion.

Yuchi Jiuyue's is the bright moon, but hers is just the phoenix tree. To her, it's like the difference between a phoenix and a sparrow, and she doesn't like it.

So she thought of changing her name. Qiong Yao means beautiful jade and has a beautiful meaning. The key is to add her name to it.

If Yuchi Jiuyue is Mingyue, then Mo Yaohua is Qiong Yao. She must not be outdone by the other in every aspect.

"Yaoyao doesn't like it?" Chu Xuanhan's expression faded a little, "But Feng Qi Wutong, and Yaoyao is my future queen."

Mo Yaohua had never thought of this, and was overjoyed when she heard it, "Is this the name of the academy chosen by Liu Lang himself?"

"Besides me, who else can understand Yaoyao's thoughts?" Chu Xuanhan was relieved when he saw her happy expression. "Do you still want to change your name now?"

"No!" Mo Yaohua already loved the name of this courtyard so much that she turned and asked, "Then Mingyueju was also named by the prince?"

"Yes, the moon is thousands of miles away!" Chu Xuanhan chuckled, "The hearts of this king and Yuchi Jiyue are more than thousands of miles apart."

Mo Yaohua was easily aroused by his words. She hugged his neck passionately and called out affectionately, "Liu Lang..."

***

That night, in the study of Prince Jin’s Mansion.

Prince Jin was still sitting at the table with a gloomy face late at night.

Duan Jin came to report expressionlessly, "Master, I found it."

The reason why the horses in the horse farm suddenly went crazy was that they were poisoned by a poison called camel wind.

This poison will emit the smell of camel after the horse runs, irritating the horse and causing it to go crazy.

All the horses in the entire stable of Prince Jin's Mansion were poisoned by this poison, but as long as the horses did not run, the poison would be cured after twelve hours.

Therefore, there was nothing abnormal with the other horses, only the four horses they rode during the horse shooting showed symptoms of poisoning.

Tuofeng was originally developed to deal with the Beirong who were good at horse riding. Dongling once defeated the Beirong with this poison and won victory after victory.

Firstly, after a horse is poisoned, its legs and feet will become weak, which is not conducive to fighting. Secondly, after the horse gallops wildly, the poison will be out of control.

But later, Beirong developed an antidote and the battle situation turned around. Dongling never used it again, and this poison is rarely seen on a daily basis.

The King of Jin did not expect that someone would set their sights on his horse, so he asked sternly, "Have you found out who did it?"

Duan Jin presented a packet of medicine, "It was a horse slave in the stables of the palace. We found the remaining camel wind in his room."

"Is the person dead?" When King Jin saw that he did not bring the person into the study after he said that, he guessed that he might not be able to bring the person into the study.

"Yes, he is dead and there is no evidence. He is an orphan with no family or relatives. I have interrogated people who were on good terms with him..."

The horse slave was bought into the mansion ten years ago and has been in the stable ever since. He is a quiet person and most of the people he makes friends with are horse slaves.

He is neither greedy for money nor a sex addict, nor does he drink or gamble. Such a person has no weaknesses, and it is not easy for outsiders to persuade him to rebel.

In short, Duan Jin did not think that Ma Nu was someone else's spy, but before he finished reporting everything, King Jin spoke.

Prince Jin disagreed, "Not easy doesn't mean no chance. If he didn't have someone behind him, how dare he plot against me and my concubine?"

Duan Jin then continued, "I guess that it might be because of what happened two years ago that he holds a grudge against the prince and the concubine..."

Two years ago, Prince Jin took Shen Xiyue to the horse farm and taught her how to ride a horse personally. This horse slave was the one serving her.

At that time, Shen Xiyue was riding a dwarf horse. After she had achieved some success, she clamored to ride the horse herself, but accidentally fell off the horse.

The Prince of Jin was furious, and Ma Nu knelt down and explained anxiously that it was not his fault, but that the concubine was too eager for success and handled the matter improperly.

However, Shen Xiyue strongly denied it, saying that she was following the instructions of Prince Jin. This made it seem that it was Ma Nu who was questioning Prince Jin.

His rage was even greater tonight, and he immediately ordered his men to beat the slave with a stick, almost beating him to death. The slave lay in bed for several days before he recovered.

Prince Jin also remembered this incident. Fortunately, he had specially chosen a small pony at that time, so Shen Xiyue was not thrown too hard.

He didn't remember the horse slave. He only cared about one thing, "How could a little horse slave like him know that the concubine was pregnant?"

"Perhaps he was not targeting the concubine alone. Several princes were injured. If it weren't for the guards of the Prince, the princess would have had difficulty escaping."

Since the King of Jin was going to go riding and shooting with his guests, someone would naturally instruct the stables to make preparations first. No matter who was coming, it must be a distinguished person.

If anything happens to a guest in Prince Jin's mansion, Prince Jin will naturally be held responsible. As for Shen Xiyue, she seems more like an innocent person implicated.

The King of Jin always felt that there was someone behind the horse slave. "How could a horse slave have such a meticulous mind? Where did the camel wind come from?"

"I asked someone to check. He went to the pharmacy to buy Camel Wind a year ago. Since very few people buy this poison, the shopkeeper remembers it very clearly."

"He has been plotting against me since a year ago?" Prince Jin felt a chill down his spine. If there were a few more people like him in the palace, he would be in danger.

"That's why I guess he might be holding a grudge against what happened back then, and he's already made preparations, just waiting for the right opportunity to take action."

The King of Jin still refused to believe it. "Just because I had him beaten with a stick, you want to take revenge like this? No, there must be someone behind this!"
