If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

The person who jumped into the well was the young eunuch who had just gone to Kunning Palace.

Fu Jinyi hid behind Fu Jinyuan, opened his eyelids to take a look and then hid back, "I have never seen this little eunuch."

It was his personal palace attendant who recognized him and said, "This is the new eunuch who cleans the room. When the Crown Prince was dealing with the Imperial Physician He and the others today, this little eunuch couldn't even get close to the inner hall. How could he know what happened?"

"Carry the man away." Fu Jinyuan ordered.

It is obvious that what happened today was deliberately arranged by someone with ulterior motives.

Queen Ruan also calmed down at this time, and she looked at Fu Jinyi deeply.

That look made Fu Jinyi's scalp tingle.

Why does it feel like the Queen Mother wants to beat him up?

Fu Jinyuan had his men surround the East Palace and took away everything that Fu Jinyi had eaten today.

"Since it's not the medicine that's poisonous, then there must be something else that's taken orally that's problematic," said Fu Jinyuan.

The palace maids who could serve in the Eastern Palace were all carefully selected by the Queen. How was this eunuch who jumped into the well today bribed by others? Did he send the poisonous substance?

Queen Ruan closed her eyes and said, "Someone, go check if this little eunuch has any relatives."

Fu Jinyuan ordered people to carry the young eunuch's body away.

Imperial Physician He and the coroner also quickly found out the cause.

In addition to the medicine that the young eunuch had taken, there was also another toxin that was incompatible with the medicine in his stomach. The medicine was not poisonous, but once it was mixed with another toxin, it became highly toxic.

The imperial physician carefully examined the prince's meals today and found nothing poisonous.

"Almond cake!" the personal eunuch exclaimed, "There was originally a plate of almond cake today, which was said to be a reward from the emperor to the prince, but..."

He swallowed, but the Queen Mother had ordered that no matter who sent the food, even the Emperor, it could not go into the Prince's mouth.

So he put the almond cake away, thinking of sending it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after he confirmed it.

"Where is the almond cake?" Queen Ruan asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, I put it in the small kitchen." Changshou replied hurriedly.

"Go get it."

The East Palace has its own small kitchen, which was allowed by the Queen in order to take care of the Crown Prince. No one except the people from the East Palace can get close to the small kitchen.

A small piece of the almond cake was eaten.

Imperial Physician He rushed to check and found the same poison in the eunuch's stomach.

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

This was sent by the Emperor. Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs. Can the Emperor really not tolerate even the Crown Prince?

When everyone was at a loss, the sound of the emperor arriving came from outside.

Queen Ruan stood up silently, her eyes unchanged.

Emperor Fu came in hurriedly, "What's going on? What happened to the prince?"

Fu Jinyuan looked at his reaction and seemed to be really nervous about Fu Jinyi, and it didn't seem fake at all.

When the young eunuch jumped into the well, Fu Jinyuan had the news about the Eastern Palace sealed off. How did the emperor know that something had happened to the prince?

"The prince is feeling a little unwell, so I asked Imperial Physician He to come and take his pulse," said Queen Ruan.

Emperor Fu frowned and looked at Fu Jinyi, "What's wrong with you?"

"Father, I just feel a little dizzy." Fu Jinyi said.

"I've told you several times not to be willful, but you still insist on doing things your way. You'd better not get involved in court affairs and take good care of your health." Emperor Fu said in a deep voice.

Fu Jinyuan's eyes were slightly cold.

Is this what a father should say?

When his son was sick and unwell, he didn't say a word of comfort, but instead blamed him for misbehaving. The point is that he didn't want the prince to get involved in court affairs.

It seems that the Crown Prince's proposal to set up a Pacification Office really made Emperor Fu wary.

"Father, I'm fine now." Fu Jinyi said.

"I heard that the emperor sent almond cake to the prince today?" Queen Ruan finally spoke slowly and softly.

Emperor Fu's shoulders stiffened slightly, and he turned to look at the Queen, "The Crown Prince likes almond cakes. I think they are delicious, so I had them delivered to me. Is there a problem, Queen?"

"No, I am very touched that the emperor still cares about the prince." Queen Ruan smiled softly.

"The Crown Prince is a man of brotherly love. He gave half of the almond cake to the Second Prince so that he could also feel the Emperor's kindness."

Emperor Fu raised his eyebrows and looked sharply at the almond cake on the table.

Sure enough, only half of the amount was left.

"Someone, go and bring back the almond cake." Emperor Fu said loudly upon hearing this.

Empress Ruan raised her eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, you always teach the Crown Prince to be friendly to his brothers. Why can't you share a plate of almond cake with the Second Prince?"

At this moment, Imperial Physician He and others wished they could bury their heads in the ground.

Give them a pair of ears that did not hear the conversation between the Emperor and the Empress. If they hear too much, they will be beheaded.

"I have already sent it to the Second Prince." Emperor Fu was secretly anxious and wished he could go and get the almond cake back in person immediately.

Seeing him like this, Empress Ruan felt a little sad even though her heart was cold and hard towards Emperor Fu.

He really wanted to take action against his own son.

How sad.

She married such a thing.

"The Second Prince should have taken the almond cake by now. Even if he refuses to eat it, my people will personally watch him take it." Queen Ruan said coldly.

Emperor Fu glared at Queen Ruan angrily, "You..."

"Back off, everyone back off!" Emperor Fu shouted angrily.

Imperial Physician He and others kowtowed and left in haste as if they had been pardoned.

In the hall, only the emperor, empress, and Fu Jinyuan's family were left.

Queen Ruan picked up the almond cake and placed it in front of Emperor Fu, "Your Majesty, this is the almond cake you sent. Would you like to try a piece?"

"I..." Emperor Fu looked at Queen Ruan with disgust, "Why, are you still worried that I will poison you?"

"No?" Queen Ruan asked back.

"Then Your Majesty, try two pieces."

Emperor Fu moved his fingers, of course he wouldn't eat it.

This almond cake will not poison people to death, but it will make people tired and sleepy for a few days. He just doesn't want the prince to mention the establishment of the Pacification Office in the court.

I don’t want the prince to interfere in the court anymore.

clang-

Queen Ruan threw the almond cake hard in front of Emperor Fu.

"Your Majesty, do you know that the poison in this almond cake is incompatible with the medicine that the prince takes daily?"

"The eunuch who tasted the food died, and the prince almost died in your hands."

Emperor Fu was furious when he heard this, "Queen, you are so outrageous!"

"Anyway, this isn't the only time that His Majesty has been so insolent. He just needs to get used to it," said Queen Ruan.

"I would not poison my own son. Don't try to slander me with the death of a little eunuch." Emperor Fu shouted angrily.

Queen Ruan chuckled, "Okay, then Your Majesty, please take the medicine and the almond cake together. If you are alive, I will believe you."

"How about I have someone send a bowl of medicine to the Second Prince so he can take it at the same time?"

Emperor Fu: “…”

He didn't know, he didn't know that these two medicines were incompatible.

"Father, are you so unwilling to let me live? I..."

"puff……"

Fu Jinyi spat out a mouthful of blood, covering Fu Di's face and body with blood, and then he fainted.
