Yusui Chang'an

Qin Wangfu.

As soon as Chu Chengye and the princess stepped into the mansion, they received news that the prince had returned to the general's mansion halfway.

Chu Chengye thought the prince was going to make friends with the Gu family, so he was angry and cursed. He didn't expect that just after he changed his clothes, he heard the prince angrily leaving the Gu family:

"It seems that he failed to curry favor with me. He is still the crown prince after all. He dared not fight back after being humiliated like this. If I were him, I would be so ashamed and angry that I would bang my head against the wall."

After hearing the servants report that Xianyaolou had delivered another batch of prepared medicinal food, Princess Qin remembered Lin Jinyan's strange look, expressed her doubts to Chu Chengye, and ordered the maid to call the palace doctor.

When the medicinal food was delivered yesterday, the court doctor had already checked it and confirmed that it was all yang-energy nourishing and there was nothing wrong with it. Now, after checking the medicinal food which was still warm, he still said the same thing.

Princess Qin: "Is there anything that counteracts it? Or something else strange?"

Seeing the serious look on Princess Qin's face, the court doctor carefully wrote down the drugs he had identified one by one on paper and thought carefully:

"There are no incompatible drugs... If you say it's weird... Generally, medicinal food emphasizes the harmony of yin and yang and the warming and nourishing properties of the medicine, but this medicinal food is full of tonic drugs with strong yang energy. Drinking too much will easily cause internal heat. Normally, medicines are not prepared like this, unless..."

Princess Qin asked anxiously, "Unless what?"

The court doctor said: "Unless you have consumed something cold and yin, then this medicine will be prescribed. If this is the case, this medicinal food is not a tonic, but more like a detoxification."

After the words fell, not only was Princess Qin shocked, but even Chu Chengye, who was listening, was also filled with anger:

"What poison?"

The court doctor also understood what was going on and hurriedly took the pulse of the couple. After carefully feeling their pulses three times, he replied:
"If I hadn't taken the pulse based on this bowl of medicinal food, I would have been unable to diagnose it. It's not a poison, but an extremely cold substance. After taking it, it will weaken the blood and qi, make people afraid of the cold, and also... make it difficult to have children."

Chu Chengye flew into a rage and slammed the table, "How dare you plot against me! Since Lin Jinyan came to deliver the medicinal food, she must know who did it. Summon her to question her immediately!"

Princess Qin stopped the guards:
"Your Highness, the recipe for the medicinal diet was made by the General's wife. I think the Gu and Lin families are both aware of it. The murder of the prince is a big deal, but the Gu and Lin families knew about it but did not report it. They also secretly prepared medicinal diet to secretly detoxify. I think they are closely related to this matter. The medicinal diet was delivered yesterday. The day before yesterday, I went to the Lin Mansion with the prince. It should be the conspiracy at that time. Since it is related to the Lin Mansion, how can Lin Jinyan speak up?"

Although Chu Chengye was simple-minded and had a hot temper, he was not a fool. He immediately figured out what was going on:

"Since this thing will make it difficult to have children, it must have been done by someone in the royal family, most likely the crown prince and the second son."

When she heard about Chu Chengyao, Princess Qin suddenly remembered that Qi Yan, the younger sister of Minister of Justice Qi Quan, had sent cakes to the Lin Mansion on the day of the Lin Mansion's banquet. She immediately told Chu Chengye that she knew about it.

Chu Chengye was furious. He had originally wanted to see the prince's followers targeting Qi Quan in the court, but now he could no longer bear it:

"Damn Second Brother, I thought he was really being plotted against! Turns out he was hiding in the mansion to plot against me! Don't even think about touching the Ministry of Justice again! Let Jia Yu come to see me!"

The guard replied reluctantly:

"Master Jia can't get out of bed yet, but do we need to carry him here?"

Chu Chengye choked for a moment, then said angrily:

"A weak scholar, just a kick, it's really useless, I'm afraid he is hiding from me."

Princess Qin knew Chu Chengye's temper, so she gave him a way out and advised him:
"The doctor in the palace examined him and said that his internal organs were damaged. It was also because Master Jia was too weak, otherwise it wouldn't be so serious." (End of this chapter)
