Liu Yueru frowned and signaled Mother Yan to pack up the prepared food together.

"Madam, do you want to go to the prison to see Prince Jin?" Mother Yan asked with some concern.

Liu Yueru nodded slightly; "Go get some more medicine and send it to the prison together."

Then, she thought of something and said to the secret guard, "Go and pack some clean clothes for the prince."

The secret guard looked at Liu Yueru's busy face and said with some embarrassment, "Madam Liu, the emperor has ordered that you cannot visit the studio. Please give these things to your subordinates and have them delivered to the prince."

Liu Yueru thought about it, then handed the packed food box and the medicine given by Doctor Yunhe to the secret guard.

After seeing the secret guard disappear, Liu Yueru felt very uneasy and went to look for Liu Zhengtang.

At this moment, Liu Zimo also learned the news, and several people agreed to go to Liu Fufeng's room together.

"Why was the prince suddenly locked up by the emperor?" Liu Fufeng asked first.

Liu Zhengtang's face was heavy. "I sent someone to find out what Eunuch Li had to say. I heard it was about the crown prince. The emperor and the prince were in the imperial study at the time. I don't know what they talked about, let alone how the prince upset the emperor."

"Before he left, the prince said that he had done nothing wrong. Did someone tell on him?"

Liu Zimo held his chin, thinking; "I heard that the emperor's health has been getting worse recently, and now the condition of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not improved. I think the emperor wants to pass the throne to Prince Jin, but he also wants to know what Prince Jin thinks."

"The prince may have come to the palace today to ask for something, and his mind is not on these things at all. I don't understand the emperor's probing words. I must have said it too bluntly, which made the emperor unhappy."

Liu Yueru sat in the corner, her face full of worry.

He asked quietly, "Could it be that the prince asked the emperor for something he shouldn't have asked for, and that's why the emperor was angry?"

Everyone present understood what Liu Yueru meant, and this reason could not be ruled out.

Liu Zhengtang glanced at Liu Yue and said, "Don't take it personally. Now that we can't see the prince, everything is just our guess. Maybe tomorrow, when the emperor's anger has subsided, he will have the prince released."

Liu Yueru felt that things were not that simple.

"This is a special event. Even if His Majesty wants to see him, he cannot go. I'm afraid someone will exaggerate and whisper something in the emperor's ear."

"The people on the Queen's side have already started looking for more suitable assistants. The people on their mother's side seem to be intent on supporting Xie Huaiqian to take the position. In this way, the people on the Queen's side will be the ones in power in the future."

Liu Zimo thought for a moment and said, "The prince must be in poor health, otherwise they wouldn't start putting all their blood pressure on this child."

"That's why the Emperor is so angry with the Prince."

"What should we do?" Liu Fufeng asked with a frown.

"Let's wait and see." Liu Zimo said in a light voice.

"Don't worry, the emperor won't let anything happen to the prince in prison." As Liu Zhengtang spoke, he did not forget to look in the direction of Liu Yueru.

Liu Yueru then raised her eyes and nodded slightly to her father.

Liu Fufeng said, "Maybe this is a play performed by the emperor and the prince? This is a kind of protection for the prince."

Everyone looked at each other, suddenly realized what was going on, and didn't say anything more.

Time passes quickly.

The poison in all those who were poisoned in Kyoto City was cured, and the Liu family began to arrange the wedding of Liu Fufeng and Miss Xueer.

And Xie Jingrui is still in prison.

The imperial physician sat cross-legged in front of Xie Jingrui and said to him with a worried look on his face, "Your Highness, more than half a month has passed. When will you admit your fault to the Emperor?"

Xie Jingrui closed his eyes and was thinking about Liu Yueru. He ate the food she brought him every day. He reached out and touched his face, and found that he had gained weight.

The royal doctor's bitter voice sounded again; "Your Majesty, I am discussing something with you."

Xie Jingrui slowly opened his eyes and looked at the old imperial physician impatiently. "Doctor Ling, since you are here, you should make the best of it. I am not wrong, so why should I admit my mistakes? You don't have to be a lobbyist here every day. I have my own principles."

Xie Jingrui also thought that after admitting his mistake to the emperor, he could go out and see Liu Yueru.

However, he didn't even understand why his father was angry, so naturally he didn't want to apologize.

When he turned around, he saw the imperial physician looking like he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Xie Jingrui said with a straight face, "Doctor Ling, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. How long can I live? Since I came here, I am afraid that I will not wake up after a good sleep."

"And this meat, look at my face, it's pale and skinny."

As the imperial physician spoke, he placed one of his hands on his own pulse: "Your Highness, since I came to this prison with you, my body has become increasingly weak. I need to go out and see the sun. Otherwise, I need to eat the food that Madam Liu sent me, so that my condition can be cured."

Xie Jingrui's face darkened. "Other things are easy to deal with. She gave me all the food, so forget about it. Besides, the food in this prison is not bad."

Imperial Physician Ling's eyes nearly turned black when he heard this, and he was about to faint. If it weren't for the fact that he had to leave with the prince, he would have prayed that Xie Jingrui would be locked up longer.

He was filled with grief and anger as he spoke to Xie Jingrui. "Your Highness, please speak truthfully. I admitted that the food I had in the first few days was good, but later on, the food was hard to describe. If Your Highness does not want to leave this prison, you can share some of the food with me."

The words fell.

The guard outside came over with a tray containing food for the two of them.

Two white steamed buns, two bowls of porridge, and two bowls of vegetables that didn’t look very good.

Imperial Physician Ling sighed softly and looked in the direction of Xie Jingrui with a bitter face.

"Your Highness, this..." Imperial Physician Ling looked at Xie Jingrui, then sighed softly, "Your Majesty's good intentions have all been borne by this humble servant."

Not long after.

The guards came back again.

Carrying an exquisite food box.

He put down the lunch box silently, then turned and left.

Imperial Physician Ling brought the steamed bun closer and smelled the meat inside. He instantly felt that the steamed bun in his hand no longer smelled fragrant.

"Your Highness." Imperial Physician Ling hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva at Xie Jingrui's lunch box.

Today, he was still able to maintain his image and act like an imperial physician, but after eating green vegetables for more than ten days in a row, his cravings were aroused.

Xie Jingrui's eyes fell on the lunch box, then he took out the contents and smelled them, his expression suddenly changed.
