The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

"The imperial physician used medicine, and the two princes have calmed down. But..."

The eldest princess was annoyed and had no patience. "Just what? Stop hesitating! Hurry up and say it!"

"The imperial physician said that judging from the Seventh Prince's pulse, he seems to have taken the antidote..."

Before the servant could finish his words, the Grand Princess's sharp eyes swept over him, causing him to flinch in fear.

"The imperial physician also said that, unfortunately, there is only a small amount of antidote, which can only reduce the medicinal properties of the incense, but is not enough to make people sober." He added the second half of the sentence in a trembling voice.

The eldest princess's expression, which had just turned gloomy, softened a little.

It turned out to be just a small amount of antidote, she thought...

Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding.

While she was feeling thankful, she glared at the servant and sternly scolded him, "Don't breathe when you answer in the future. If you can't finish your words in one breath, you will be punished!"

The servant didn't dare to say that he paused because he was frightened by the reaction of the Grand Princess. He just immediately bowed his head to admit his mistake and begged for mercy.

……

The Seventh Prince woke up before the Fifth Prince.

As soon as he learned what happened to him, he was furious, "Who on earth would do such a despicable thing to harm me? This is simply shameless!"

"what--"

"If I find out who did this, I will tear him into pieces!"

The Seventh Prince roared, his eyes so red that they seemed to be dripping with blood.

The eldest princess hurried over and took a lot of effort to calm him down.

After everyone calmed down, she asked the Seventh Prince why he had taken the antidote, but the Seventh Prince said he knew nothing about it.

Just at this moment, a maidservant who was serving nearby noticed an unknown object on the ground.

The Grand Princess took a quick look and asked the imperial physician to examine it.

After the imperial physician examined it, he found that it was indeed the antidote for the incense - exactly the same antidote found on the maid who committed suicide.

That is to say, the maid originally intended to give the Seventh Prince the antidote, but the Seventh Prince was probably in a coma at the time and was unable to swallow the antidote on his own initiative, so he just held it in his mouth.

After part of the antidote dissolved in his mouth, perhaps due to the irritation of the medicinal taste, the Seventh Prince instinctively spit out the rest of the antidote.

——This is just the imperial physician’s guess.

But after hearing the speculation, the Seventh Prince almost lost his composure again.

If this is true...if he still had a little consciousness at that time and was able to swallow the antidote, would such an embarrassing thing not have happened later?

He clenched his fists tightly, and the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged out in a hideous and terrifying manner.

The eldest princess had no time to care about his feelings at this time. She was just concentrating on thinking about the reason why the person behind the scenes did this.

Unfortunately, she couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time.

"Ah Chen, what do you think about this?"

"I don't know how to investigate a case, so what can I do?" The Regent waved his hand, looking like he had no ability to think. "If you really want my help, just tell me who you suspect, and I'll kill that person."

Although he was smiling, the words he said were so murderous.

The eldest princess shook her head repeatedly, "Ah Chen, the power in the court is complicated. Even if His Majesty favors you, you can't kill innocent people like this."

It's the same sermon again.

He was tired of hearing it.

"Since my sister can't find out the truth, I'll leave this matter to my brother to handle on his own! Whoever's son is in trouble, let him deal with it himself!"

"How can you say that? Ah Chen, you..."

Seeing that the eldest princess didn't agree with him, the regent smiled and asked, "Isn't that the truth?"

"It's a rough statement, but the truth is true!"

The eldest princess gradually became silent.
