"Seventeenth brother, the Emperor's birthday ceremony has just been completed."

"I recall the teachings that the Emperor gave to you and me when he was still alive, and I feel sad."

Meng Jingxian lowered her head, understanding that the emperor was jealous.

Prince Guo was taught personally by the late emperor since he was a child, while the emperor was taught by only some great scholars.

The emperor's biological mother was not kind to him, and the previous emperor was not close to him.

Prince Guo is loved by his biological mother and cared for by the late emperor. It would be strange if the emperor was not jealous.

The emperor added: "If my father were still alive, he would be pleased to see that you have started a family and have a child so soon."

Meng Jingxian looked at Concubine Xi who was sitting on the upper side, and sure enough, her beautiful eyes were staring at Prince Guo.

Prince Guo replied to the emperor: "Everything I have is the grace bestowed by my brother."

The emperor thought for a few breaths before speaking: "Okay, you should respect your brother and remember the principles of being a minister. We are brothers who are friendly and respectful to each other, and the emperor is safe and the ministers are happy."

Prince Guo looked at the emperor's expression and replied, "Yes."

At this time, two teams of palace servants came in one after another and served soup.

The Sixth Prince Hongzhou was originally standing in front of Concubine Xi's desk, but he turned and walked towards Meng Jingxian.

Meng Jingxian looked at Hong Zhou who was walking towards her. She did not pull Hong Zhou over like she did in her previous life and let him touch her belly. She also said to Hong Zhou: "Auntie is pregnant with a little brother."

Meng Jingxian covered her mouth and vomited, then lowered her head and continued vomiting.

Huanbi quickly said, "Hongzhou, come to your aunt."

Hongzhou seemed to be attracted to Meng Jingxian, but he was also a little afraid that Meng Jingxian would vomit continuously. After hesitating for a few moments, he ran towards Huanbi.

Prince Guo then asked, "Jingxian, did you break something?"

Meng Jingxian vomited and said, "I just feel a little sour. I just need to go out and get some fresh air."

Prince Guo ordered the maid behind Meng Jingxian, "Caiju, quickly help Concubine Xian go out for some fresh air."

Meng Jingxian covered her mouth and was helped out of the hall by Cai Lu.

Inside the palace, Zhen Huan picked up the soup bowl on the table and called out, "Hong Zhou, come, come over here and drink some soup with mother."

Huanbi pulled Hongzhou aside and said, "Eldest sister, let me feed Hongzhou."

Zhen Huan then handed the bowl of soup to Hongzhou's wet nurse, and the wet nurse handed the soup to Huanbi.

Huanbi took the soup bowl, scooped a spoonful, blew on it to cool it down, took a small sip, and handed the spoon to Hongzhou's mouth.

As soon as Hongzhou swallowed the soup, Huanbi dropped the spoon and spit out blood. Hongzhou soon fell to the ground spitting blood.

Prince Guo and Zhen Huan stood up at the same time, and they both shouted in unison: "Hong Zhou!"

Huanbi sat on a chair and watched Prince Guo pick up Hongzhou from the ground. Zhen Huan also went over and took Hongzhou's hand, looking like a family of three.

The emperor shouted, "Imperial Physician! Call the Imperial Physician!"

Concubine Jing said, "Why does it look like he's been poisoned?"

Su Peisheng immediately shouted: "The food is poisonous, it's not good, the imperial guards, protect the emperor!"

Meng Jingxian, who was standing outside the hall, had her hands covering her mouth with a look of pain on her face, and pretended not to hear the noise inside the hall.

Meng Jingxian touched her bulging belly and didn't want to go in and see the blood on the ground.

Soon, the Sixth Prince was sent to the back hall by Prince Guo, while Huanbi was carried to the back hall by Yu'er and the palace maids behind her.

The imperial physician arrived quickly, but the Sixth Prince was young and had consumed too much soup, so he had already died.

Wei Lin took out a silver needle to test for poison, and after checking the Sixth Prince's pulse, he knelt down and reported, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince was poisoned by Crane's Beak Potion."

Zhen Huan cried heartbreakingly, Prince Guo's eyes were red, and the emperor standing by was also in pain.

No one thought of asking the imperial physician to see Huanbi, everyone was looking at the Sixth Prince lying on the bed.
