"If you don't know this, what else can you know!"

"Call the doctor!"

"Prince Xuan Yu is entering the palace!"

Zhu Yue snorted coldly, and became even angrier when he saw that the other young eunuchs didn't move.

"Are they all dead?"

"Send the Emperor to bed!"

These people are simply brainless. It's hard to imagine how Zheng'er grew up safely under such circumstances!

"Don't go... Mother... Please."

Xiao Jingzheng held onto Zhu Yue's sleeve tightly, refusing to let go.

He is now suffering from a high fever and is in a daze. He only remembers this incident.

Zhu Yue had originally wanted to educate the child properly, so how could she really leave? Now that she was looking at the child like this, she was already heartbroken, so how could she really abandon him and leave?

"Zheng'er, be good. Mother won't leave. Be good."

Zhu Yue couldn't pull her sleeves back, so she just followed him to the bed. She sat on the bed and watched the people from the Imperial Hospital come in in droves.

They knelt beside the bed to feel Xiao Jingzheng's pulse, and their conclusions were the same. They all said that the high fever was caused by overwork and just needed proper treatment.

"He is so young, and it's just some memorials. How could he be overworked?"

"Hongfu, does the emperor have anything special to do these days?"

Hong Fu really didn't know who to listen to now, but what he was sure of was that Zhu Yue was definitely the most reliable among these people. After all, she was the first person who had beaten the emperor and was still alive.

"The emperor gets up early and goes to bed late these days, but I really don't know what he is busy with!"

Although Hongfu was the chief eunuch beside him, he only took care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation. He really knew nothing about what was going on in the court.

Zhu Yue was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

"All the eunuchs who serve the emperor must be supervised. No one is allowed to contact outsiders or come in or out."

"You all go out first, Doctor Zhang stay."

Zhu Yue still felt that Xiao Jingzheng's illness was strange, so she wanted to investigate it thoroughly.

After everyone left, Zhu Yue crossed his arms and looked at Doctor Zhang coldly: "What's wrong with the emperor's health?"

Doctor Zhang had never seen this girl in the palace before, but he was still shocked by her aura. That feeling was so damn familiar!

He took a deep breath and frowned as he looked at Zhu Yue in front of him: "Girl, I don't understand what you are saying."

"Who is the emperor? He is young and strong, in the prime of his life. How could he faint from a high fever due to overwork?"

"Tell me the truth, what happened? Did someone do something?"

Zhu Yue spoke again, and this time she made her point directly.

"The emperor's pulse is indeed a little strange. There are signs of slight poisoning, but it doesn't seem to be caused by poison. For the moment, I can't figure out what's going on, so I'm afraid I need to study it carefully!"

If not drugs, then...

Zhu Yue took a deep breath and asked, "Is it because of food incompatibility?"

"That's hard to say. We still need to investigate it thoroughly." Doctor Zhang is not a fool.

How could he possibly tell the truth to such an unknown person? Even if there was something strange, he would have to wait until the emperor woke up and report it to him.

"Okay, go down." Zhu Yue pinched his eyebrows, feeling tired.

She originally thought that the country was peaceful and the people were prosperous, and being an emperor was just an ordinary thing. However, she never expected that the court seemed like a stagnant pool, but in fact, it had already been turbulent. Even the poison was sent to the emperor. These people are really great.

"Prince Yu has arrived!"

The eunuch outside reported, and then Xiao Huanyu walked in quickly.

"What's wrong, brother Huang?"

Zhu Yue just sat quietly aside, watching Xiao Huanyu come in and looking at his anxious face, as if she wanted to see something from his expression.

Soon, Xiao Huanyu also found that Zhu Yue was looking at him. He frowned slightly and was a little unhappy: "How dare you! Why are you looking at me like that?"

"The emperor has been poisoned. Does this have anything to do with you?"

Zhu Yue didn't hide anything and asked directly.

Xiao Huanyu's first reaction was anger. Without even thinking, he pushed Zhu Yue away and protected Xiao Jingzheng in front of him, as ferocious as a leopard hunting in the wild.

"What nonsense are you talking about, woman? He is my brother, how could I do such a thing!"

"During this period, the only person who appeared inexplicably beside my brother was you. If anyone was to blame for the poison, it was you!"

Seeing him defending his brother like this, Zhu Yue finally felt better.

She looked at Xiao Jingzheng, who was still clutching her sleeve tightly while in a daze, and her heart ached.

"This matter must be investigated thoroughly."

Zhu Yue sat back in her original seat, looking down at Xiao Jingzheng on the bed.

"Mother, please, don't leave."

Xiao Jingzheng had a high fever that wouldn't go away, his whole body was burning hot, and he kept muttering about his mother.

Hearing the word "Queen Mother", Xiao Huanyu's face also showed a trace of sadness. He lowered his head and said sullenly: "Xiao Jingzheng, are you a fool? Queen Mother left a long time ago. She died. She left us to find Father. She doesn't want us anymore!"

At this moment, Xiao Huanyu didn't know that his mother was right in front of him, so he just blurted out what was in his heart. That's what he thought. In his heart, his mother abandoned the three of them for the sake of his father, leaving them as poor little creatures without a father or a mother and no one to love them.

When Zhu Yue heard what the child said, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife and it hurt so much!

She had nothing to say and didn't want to argue, because she knew very well that she was the one who was sorry for her child and there was no point in making excuses.

He reached out his hand, gently touched Xiao Jingzheng's cheek, and hummed softly.

When Xiao Jingzheng was a child, he was always sick with fever. At that time, the fever would not go away all night long. She was just like now, staying by his side all night long, humming his favorite songs.

"You! How do you know this song?"

"Who are you? Who are you?"

Xiao Huanyu's face changed immediately after hearing the content of the song. Isn't this the ballad that their mother sang to them? Why can this woman sing it too?

No wonder the emperor treats this woman so differently. It turns out it’s because of this. Does he actually regard this woman as his mother?

Zhu Yue ignored Xiao Huanyu's shouting and said calmly, "The emperor has been poisoned and has a high fever. This news will probably spread out soon. What do you think will happen if people outside really believe that the emperor will not live long?"
