The imperial physician next to him echoed, "Yes, the best plan now is to find out the poison as soon as possible so that we can find the right antidote."

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly ran into the bedroom carrying a porcelain bowl, knelt down, held up the celadon bowl in both hands and said: "Your Majesty, I found a porcelain bowl in your study."

When Cao Mang, who was standing beside him, saw the celadon bowl, his pale eyebrows slightly frowned.

The imperial doctors all turned their heads to look at the porcelain bowl, their eyes full of hope.

If they fail to save the prince, being dismissed from their posts would be the least of their worries, and the whole family would be in trouble.

“Give it to me quickly,” Luo Tianqing took the lead in reaching out to take it.

The young eunuch hurriedly handed over the bowl.

More than a dozen imperial doctors immediately entered investigation mode.

In the inner room, there were faint sobbing sounds, accompanied by painful calls, "Zheng'er, you must hold on. You are the only one left for your mother."

On the bed, Prince Jun Qi Zheng, who had been so cheerful two days ago, was now lying weakly, motionless.

If the imperial physician had not confirmed that the patient was still alive, the queen would have thought that he was dead.

The emperor walked into the inner room and patted the queen's trembling shoulders soothingly.

The queen covered her eyes with a handkerchief and hugged the emperor's waist with sadness, "Your Majesty, Zheng'er will be fine, right?"

The emperor looked at the prince with a dark complexion and felt sorry for him, but he still comforted him, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. The imperial physician is already thinking of a solution."

"Your Majesty, I only have Zheng'er left. If even Zheng'er ..."

The queen's voice was choked with sobs, but she couldn't utter the last word.

The emperor looked painful, but now there was nothing he could do except wait.

Fortunately, this time, Luo Tianqing quickly came to a conclusion and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, we have found it, we have found it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was poisoned by this poison!"

The emperor and the empress immediately showed joy on their faces, and the emperor asked majestically, "Is there an antidote?"

Luo Tianqing frowned and said, "This is Mai Xianweng, who is rare in the world, let alone in the palace, so the antidote needs to be prepared now, and it may take some time."

"Then hurry up and do it!"

"Yes, I will go right away."

An hour later, the poison in the prince's body was finally suppressed.

But Holy Wrath did not.

The guards of the Western Factory surrounded the Eastern Palace inside and out, waiting for the emperor's order.

The emperor said seriously, "Who gave this celadon bowl?"

The guards immediately pulled a eunuch who could not even stand steadily in front of the emperor.

Report: "Your Majesty, this person is hiding in the Yunguang Palace secretly. I wonder what his intention is?"

The young eunuch quickly lowered his body and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, spare my life. I am not a slave, I am not a slave..."

"If it's not you, why are you hiding in the Cloud Light Palace?"

"Slave..." The little eunuch was so frightened that his body couldn't stop shaking.

The emperor said solemnly: "If you do not confess honestly, you will be torn into pieces by five horses for poisoning the prince. I will never let you off easily."

The eunuch's sweat dripped down his pale face, and he said with a trembling voice, "It was not me who poisoned the Crown Prince, it was..."

The young eunuch gritted his teeth and pointed at the queen who was listening beside him and said, "It was the queen who wanted to poison the prince."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes turned to the graceful and elegant Queen, with shock in their eyes.

The queen suddenly stood up from her chair and pointed at the eunuch angrily, "How dare you! This is simply nonsense. Who ordered you to slander me?"

Her first reaction was that this young eunuch was instructed by someone to be so bold as to identify herself as the murderer in public.

But in fact, she had no intention of poisoning her son.

Even though she was extremely disappointed in him, she had already decided to let other chess pieces replace him.

After all, they are his own flesh and blood. Even if he lives worse than a maggot, he will have to watch helplessly as the world finally falls into the hands of their Su family.

When the queen saw that the young eunuch was silent, she was furious and said, "Come here, drag this dog slave away and execute him on the spot."

"No, no, what I said is true, don't kill me..."

In front of the emperor, two guards from the Western Factory immediately took orders and stepped forward to drag the young eunuch away.

"stop!"

The emperor frowned unhappily, "I am still here, do you still have me in your eyes?"

The two guards froze, stopped what they were doing immediately, and knelt on the ground tremblingly.

The queen was shocked when she heard this, and she knelt down hurriedly, apologizing, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I was so angry at this dog slave that I acted impulsively..."

"Is it a momentary impulse, or is it intended to kill and silence the witness?"

The emperor slammed his palm heavily on the table at the side with such great force that even the teacup on it shook violently.

The queen looked at the emperor in surprise and said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, that is my own son. I already have Qi'er gone, so how could I be so cruel as to poison Zheng'er?"

When Jun Youqi was mentioned, the emperor's furious expression eased a little, and he looked at the trembling eunuch, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."

The majestic voice, carrying the emperor's pressure, made the little eunuch tremble and he quickly recounted the whole story.

"That day, after His Highness drank the ginseng soup sent by the Empress, he began to have abdominal pain and vomiting not long after. Then he developed a low-grade fever. Before I could summon the imperial physician, His Highness fell into a coma."

"That medicine bowl was clearly delivered the night before yesterday, why was it kept until today?"

The queen quickly found a flaw and questioned.

The young eunuch lowered his head even lower, and stammered, "That day, I went to clean up the celadon bowls, and then... I was attracted by an exquisite jade article on the antique shelf, and I was careless for a moment, and forgot the medicine bowl on the shelf.

Today I suddenly remembered that I was afraid of being held accountable by the prince later, so I wanted to quietly put the bowl away, but I was discovered by the guards. "

He begged desperately for mercy, "It is really not me who poisoned His Royal Highness. Even if I had ten guts, I would not dare to violate His Royal Highness."

The emperor saw that he was so frightened that he was obviously not lying.

He cast his suspicious gaze towards the queen again.

When the sharp gaze swept over like a sword, the queen did not panic, but was very calm.

"It was indeed I who sent the ginseng soup, but I was just sympathetic to Zheng'er's recent days of juggling government affairs, and I was afraid that his body would not be able to handle it, so I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare the ginseng soup for him."

"Your Majesty, someone wants to poison Zheng'er and slander me. There are plenty of opportunities to do it along the road from Kunning Palace to Yunguang Palace."

The emperor stared deeply at his wife who had been with him for nearly twenty years.

The methods used by the women in the harem are endless and extremely dark.

But he was still willing to believe that she would not poison her own son.
