The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

"Poison?"

When Cheng Zongyang received the news, he thought he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, sir, that's what the visitor said. It's just a suspicion now. The case has been reported to the Ministry of Justice."

Lin was also so shocked that his mouth opened wide.

"Master, go and have a look. Don't let anyone wrongly accuse Yuan'er. How could she have poisoned someone?"

Cheng Zongyang quickly comforted him: "You are about to give birth, don't get excited. Don't worry, I won't let Yuan'er get hurt."

Lin nodded and quickly told her maid to fetch some snacks and fruits for Cheng Zongyang to take to the academy.

Inside the Zichen Palace, Chu Heng frowned as he listened to his subordinates' reports.

If she wanted to poison someone, how could those people find out?

It was obvious that someone had framed her.

Without waiting for his men to finish speaking, he strode out.

"Go to the Imperial Hospital and pick out two of the best doctors, and have Luan An go to the academy in person."

……

Unexpectedly, this incident directly alarmed the Ministry of Justice, and the Minister of Justice came in person. The whole academy was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Looking at their daughter lying unconscious on the bed, the wives of officials did not think too much like others and questioned Cheng Jiuyuan while crying.

"Second Miss Cheng, how did my little girl offend you to do such a cruel thing?"

"That's right. If anything happens to my daughter, I will smash my head against the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and die. No matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to stop her from talking!"

"My daughter, I told you why you should go to school. You can be at home well, but you have to come here and suffer!"

"If Miss Cheng doesn't give me an explanation today, I will file a complaint with the emperor!"

Chu Wan and a few others had been protecting Cheng Jiuyuan and prevented those women from getting close to her.

"Ladies, now that the truth is unknown, why are you blaming Miss Cheng Er?"

"I have taken the pill, too. I am fine. It is not the pill's fault at all!"

"Of course not! You are not a doctor, why are you giving my daughter random medicine?"

"Everyone in the academy said that there was something wrong with the pill. Could it be fake?"

"Until now, we haven't heard Miss Cheng Er say sorry..."

At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the door: "She did nothing wrong, why should she apologize?"

Everyone looked up and saw Chu Heng coming in from the door, followed by the imperial physician, Yan Gongdu, Jiang Miaodu and others.

"See Your Highness the Fifth Prince."

"Royal brother!" Chu Wan exclaimed happily.

Chu Heng looked at the two imperial doctors and said, "Go and take a look."

"Yes."

Then Chu Heng walked to Cheng Jiuyuan, and Yan Yu and Zhu Jin tactfully stepped aside.

"Are you okay?" Chu Heng asked softly.

Cheng Jiuyuan shook his head: "Why are you here?"

Chu Heng stood beside Cheng Jiuyuan, with the word "support" clearly written on his face, making the ladies angry but not able to speak out.

At this time, Luan An hurried in from outside.

"Have you found anything?" Chu Heng asked.

"Your Highness, we have checked the public kitchen and the school dormitory, and there is no suspicion at the moment."

The imperial physician over there also stood up.

"It is indeed poisoning. I will prescribe you a prescription. Take it for seven days and the poison will be excreted from your body and you will recover."

After these words were spoken, the ladies breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Cheng Jiuyuan fiercely.

The imperial physician looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and said, "Second Miss Cheng, do you still have the pills you gave these girls?"

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded and handed a pill to the imperial physician.

The imperial physician took the pill, looked at it, sniffed it, and tasted it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"This pill is fine, and this medicine is very precious."

"Then maybe the medicine she gave to our daughter was not this one at all. After she found out about the incident, she destroyed the poison."

"That's right, who would be so stupid as to leave the poison for you to check?"

"Who dares to slander my daughter again?"

Everyone looked and saw Cheng Zongyang hurried in.

Cheng Jiuyuan called softly, "Dad."

Cheng Zongyang glanced at her and motioned her not to speak.

"Before the truth is revealed, if I hear anyone say anything about my daughter again, don't blame me for being merciless."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at him in surprise.

I'm used to seeing Cheng Zongyang being a good guy, but this is the first time I've seen him be so tough in front of others.

It seems that the self-torture trick she used last time was indeed effective.

Seeing that Cheng Jiuyuan was protected by the five princes and the prime minister, the ladies did not dare to say anything. They just threw themselves in front of their unconscious daughter and cried.

A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. The fathers of those students were obviously dissatisfied, but they still had to step forward and apologize.

"Please forgive me, Fifth Prince and Prime Minister. I love my daughter dearly."

"Yes, yes, please don't blame me, Prime Minister."

Cheng Jiuyuan was not angry. Every parent loves their children. Of course, Cheng Zongyang was an exception.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and said, "Come with me."

Cheng Jiuyuan followed Cheng Zongyang out and arrived at the guest room arranged for Cheng Zongyang by the academy.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you giving those noble ladies medicine for no reason?" Cheng Zongyang frowned and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan, his eyes full of blame.

“There’s nothing wrong with my medication.”

"But now you are the most suspicious, and you are all worried! I will suppress this matter, you pack up and follow me back."

Cheng Jiuyuan only felt that the warmth in his heart gradually cooled down.

As expected, he was only doing it for the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Dad, are you going to use your power to suppress this matter? Even if you suppress it, the stigma on your daughter will still remain. Moreover, your daughter will not leave the academy, which will play into their hands."

"You are my daughter, the future consort of the fifth prince. Who dares to say anything?"

"Even if you dare not say it to my face, what about behind my back? Dad, you don't want to find out who framed your daughter, but want to suppress this matter quickly. Are you afraid that it will affect the reputation of Yu Xiangfu and you?"

"Don't talk so much, I'll take care of this matter, you go and pack your things."

"You go back, I will handle this matter myself and will never drag down the Prime Minister's Mansion and you." Cheng Jiuyuan said in a cold voice, turned around and left resolutely.

"Come back! You're the one who rebelled!"

Ignoring Cheng Zongyang's anger, Cheng Jiuyuan left the yard.

Outside the courtyard, Chu Heng was waiting for her.

"Let's take a walk together." Chu Heng said softly.

Cheng Jiuyuan followed beside him without saying a word.

"What? Such a small matter stumps you? This is unlike the Miss Cheng I know."

Cheng Jiuyuan curled the corners of his lips and looked sideways at him: "What kind of person am I as you know me?"

"You are extremely intelligent and have a plan for everything. It seems like nothing can stop you. It's very frustrating."

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and shook her head when she heard this. "I was just thinking, the other party might take this opportunity to prove my guilt. Which noble ladies will she target next?"

After all, the poisoning of these four students alone was not enough to convict her.

The other party seemed to have some reservations, and the first to suffer were students from relatively weaker family backgrounds.

She went over all the female students in their group in her mind and had some idea in her mind.

"It seems that you have a way to deal with it. Do you need me to do anything?" Chu Heng liked to see her calculating look.

"Wait for the other party to make a move."
