After the milk ball arrived, the father who had no heirs had a string of good luck.

Tang Rui was poisoned, and everyone was terrified.

Unfortunately, Mingyue accompanied Situ Che on an inspection tour of the military camp today, without any covert protection.

Miaozhu watched helplessly as Tang Rui collapsed, completely terrified.

Seeing Tang Rui being carried away by Gu Nanyu, she immediately chased after him, crying and calling out "Princess" with snot and tears streaming down her face.

Just as they were about to board the carriage, Situ An noticed her and immediately roared, "We're taking her to the palace to see the imperial physician! What are you doing following along? Go to the Prince Li's residence and inform the Seventh Prince!"

Miaozhu seemed to have found her pillar of support, and nodded through her tears as she climbed into Tang Rui's carriage.

Gu Nanyu, on the other hand, stuffed Tang Rui into Situ An's carriage, and the two of them took Tang Rui into the palace as quickly as possible.

With Situ An's face, they were exempt from the layers of screening in the palace, and the two of them took Tang Rui straight to the Imperial Hospital.

"Help! Help! Save Zhaohua!"

With Situ An's earth-shattering and ghost-weeping shout, the entire Imperial Hospital was thrown into chaos.

The imperial physician on duty was relatively young. When he saw Tang Rui's face turn bluish-purple, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately sent a young eunuch to inform the emperor and another young eunuch to invite the head physician.

Who doesn't know that Princess Zhaohua is the emperor's new favorite?

If he dies here, he'll have so many heads he could chop off.

Before long, the emperor received the news and arrived with Consort Gao.

Situ Che, who was in the military camp, also rushed into the palace immediately.

Even Situ Qian, the culprit, was dragged into the mess by the two legitimate daughters of Prince Rui's family.

Several princes who received the letter arrived one after another.

The small Imperial Hospital suddenly became incredibly lively.

The young imperial physician on duty had never seen such a scene before and was so frightened that he almost wet his pants on the spot.

Situ Qian was also so frightened that he wet his pants.

He's kneeling outside crying right now, and nobody's paying him any attention.

The emperor stared at the lifeless baby on the bed, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. He immediately turned to the young imperial physician on duty, his piercing eyes conveying a chilling authority: "What are you all standing there for? How is Zhaohua?"

Facing the emperor's imposing presence, the young imperial physician knelt on the ground with a thud, his voice trembling with tears: "Your Majesty, this humble servant... this humble servant is not skilled enough, and has already sent someone to invite the head physician."

He had barely finished speaking when the old man in charge of the courtyard finally arrived, belatedly.

The official hat on his head was still askew, which showed that he was really using all his strength to travel.

"This old minister..."

"What do you mean by 'returning a subject'? Come and show it to Zhaohua."

The emperor's shout interrupted him.

The head of the hospital swallowed hard and quickly stepped forward.

First, he lifted her eyelids to take a look, then he took out a silver needle, dipped it in her blood, and smelled it.

The next moment, the head of the academy's expression changed drastically, and he knelt down before the emperor with a thud: "Your Majesty, Princess Zhaohua has been poisoned with arsenic."

"What did you say?" The emperor asked, his face filled with disbelief.

Situ Che suddenly gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly.

With a snap, he actually broke the handrail in half.

The head of the academy was terrified. He prostrated himself on the ground and, mustering his courage, repeated his words: "Your Majesty, Prince Li, the poison Zhaohua was given was arsenic!"

Situ Che's vision went black, and a sweet, metallic taste shot up his throat, but he managed to suppress it.

Even so, a trace of blood still seeped from the corner of his mouth.

The emperor took a long time to find his voice: "How...how did I get poisoned with arsenic? What happened? Someone tell me!"

"Father..." Situ An, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer and cried, "It was Situ Qian, it was Situ Qian who poisoned Tan Ge! Zhao Hua was just taking the blame for Tan Ge, sob sob~"

Upon hearing that it was his own son who had said this, Prince Chen looked up in surprise: "Little Eleven, are you sure?"

"How could I have made up such a story?" Situ An tearfully recounted the events.

Situ Tan, the person involved, hung his head and did not utter a word in defense of Situ Qian this time.

Regardless of whether Situ Qian poisoned the food or not, the poison was in his dish and implicated the innocent Zhao Hua. Situ Qian cannot escape responsibility.

Situ Che looked at the lifeless baby on the bed, his thin lips pressed tightly together, and his words were icy cold: "Father, I am unfortunate. For many years I have had no sons, and now even my only daughter is leaving. In the future... I will truly become an heirless person..."

"Seventh Prince! Don't be sad. If Situ Qian really did this, I will never forgive him!"

The emperor felt a pang of sorrow seeing his beloved son in such a state.

Actually, putting aside Situ Che, he also loved Tang Rui very much.

This little dumpling, despite its young age, is well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, sensible, perceptive, and very clever.

But now, she lies there, lifeless, and it seems she won't survive.

The emperor's face darkened; he was furious.

Prince Chen was equally furious.

Before the emperor could speak, he strode away, dragged Situ Qian, who was kneeling outside, inside, and threw him to the ground: "Tell me properly, where did this poison come from?"

"I don't know, I don't know, Father... Waaah..." Even at this point, Situ Qian still stubbornly refused to admit it.

The nanny said that he is a prince, and as long as he doesn't acknowledge it, no one can do anything to him.

But if he admits it, he's finished!

Just then, Gu Nanyu, who had been silent until now, said calmly, "Your Majesty, Your Highnesses, it was Situ Qian who did this. His personal servant and wet nurse have both confessed."

Situ Qian's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

Gu Nanyu looked down at him and sneered, "Catch the thief and get the dirt out of him. As soon as Zhaohua was poisoned, I had already had your servants controlled and went to the Prince Chen's mansion to get your wet nurse from the Princess Chen. Your excuses are useless."

Situ Qian slumped to the ground and burst into tears: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, sob sob sob... I didn't mean to poison Zhaohua. It was Zhaohua, Zhaohua wanted to eat fish herself, I didn't mean to poison her."

"So, you initially intended to poison me? Zhao Hua really did take the blame for me?"

Situ Tan stared at him in disbelief, his mind reeling. He stepped forward, grabbed the man, and angrily demanded, "Why? I've treated you well, why did you do this?"

"Big brother, waaaaah... Nanny, Nanny said that my mother has been abandoned by Father, and your health is getting better and better. The position of Crown Prince will not be mine. Only if you die can I continue to be the Crown Prince. You have loved me so much since I was little, and you have given me whatever I wanted. Why won't you give me the position of Crown Prince? In the end, it's all your fault, waaaaah..."

Well, in the end, it turns out that Situ Tan was the one in the wrong.

Situ Tan found it utterly absurd; he couldn't comprehend Situ Qian's thought process at all: "Get this straight, I'm the legitimate son, you're the illegitimate son. The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate sons is clear. Even without me, Mother Consort is still young and can have another child with Father. How could the position of heir apparent possibly fall to you?! And for such an impossible thing, you actually poisoned me, and even implicated Zhaohua!"
