Although the matter had blown up, Eunuch Tu was not afraid. They were just being cautious. Even if Bei Xuan really found out something, he wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

After all, nothing really happened, right?

"This old minister pays respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Third Prince, and Princess Anguo!" The two imperial physicians, led by Physician Zheng, bowed together.

The doctor that Princess Chiyue invited was none other than Doctor Hu from Jishetang.

Jishetang and Doctor Hu were the most famous in the capital, and many officials and nobles would often invite Doctor Hu to their homes for medical treatment.

Doctor Hu was no stranger to Ying Yufu. When he first met this little girl, her body was badly damaged and she was unable to have children.

I later heard that he was completely cured.

However, His Majesty has confirmed that this Princess Anguo is a lucky star for the world and is also known as a goddess.

She could save the people of Yuzhou, bring down auspicious snow, and possess the miraculous ability to regenerate severed limbs. It seems that healing her own body would be a piece of cake for her.

Dr. Hu, somewhat obsessed with medicine, couldn't help but steal another glance at Ying Yufu, wanting to ask her for some advice.

He suppressed his longing, knelt down respectfully, and his voice was somewhat excited.

Although he had treated countless high-ranking officials and nobles, this was the first time he had ever met His Highness the Crown Prince.

And they're so close.

The Crown Prince spoke gently, saying, "No need for formalities. Imperial Physicians, and Doctor Hu, please come forward and examine this plate of pastries for any abnormalities."

Dr. Hu pressed his forehead even closer to the ground in his excitement.

His Highness the Crown Prince actually knew his surname was Hu!

The two imperial physicians exchanged a glance, their expressions turning slightly serious, and stepped forward respectfully.

Dr. Hu also carefully stepped forward.

The young apprentice followed beside him, handing him the medicine box.

Two imperial physicians, along with a renowned doctor from the city, examined the plate of pastries in front of the crown prince.

With the Third Prince pointing his sword at him, Eunuch Tu stood frozen in place, not daring to move, staring at the actions of the doctors with a grim expression.

The plate of pastries was inspected one by one.

Before long, both the imperial physicians and Doctor Hu looked grim.

"Your Highness, all the pastries in this dish are poisoned, and it's the extremely vicious strychnine poison."

Doctor Hu also said, "The two imperial physicians are right. I have also determined that the peach blossom pastry has been poisoned with strychnine. This poison is very potent and is rarely seen in the Northern Xuan, but it is commonly found in the Western Lin."

The two imperial physicians nodded in unison, looking at Doctor Hu with admiration. This Doctor Hu truly lived up to his reputation as a renowned physician from a distinguished family.

His lineage, the Taixuan Sect, is said to have been passed down from the ancient kingdom period, with a long history, and now rarely appears in the world.

However, this Doctor Hu refused to enter the palace as an imperial physician and instead became a doctor among the common people, practicing medicine and saving countless lives.

He frequently moved among the homes of powerful and influential people, knowing countless secrets, yet he still lived a peaceful and stable life, which shows that he had some powerful connections and influence.

"Strychnine poison! Xilin is incredibly audacious to attempt to poison me!" The Crown Prince laughed.

Although he smiled, the Third Prince beside him shivered.

Ying Yufu was also astonished. The person who poisoned her was far too vicious. Even if they wanted to poison the crown prince, they could have chosen a deadly poison that would kill him instantly, but instead they chose strychnine poison, which causes unbearable pain.

What grudge could there be?

Ying Yufu looked at Eunuch Tu, a cold glint in her eyes.

"Princess Chiyue, what is your explanation for this?" The Crown Prince looked at Chiyue.

Chi Yue was shocked. She was delicate and beautiful. She clutched her chest. "west Lin really does see a lot of strychnine."

She looked at Eunuch Tu and cried out in anguish, "Eunuch Tu, you've become foolish!"

Tu Gonggong's expression changed instantly. He hadn't expected that Princess Chiyue would also confirm that he had poisoned her.

He stared at Princess Chiyue, a threatening glint in his eyes, and said in a sinister tone, "Your Highness, I am a close attendant of His Majesty. If His Majesty knew that something had happened to me, he would be furious."

At that time, it's inevitable that they will take their anger out on others, compared to the Prince Ding's residence...

Prince Ding, father of Chiyue.

"This..." Princess Chiyue hesitated as expected, looking at Eunuch Tu with a vulnerable and helpless expression. "But Eunuch Tu, the evidence is now irrefutable, and I am powerless to protect you..."

The Third Prince exclaimed in astonishment, "What? The Emperor of Xilin would actually kill his own son and his entire family for the sake of a mere eunuch? That's highly unlikely!"

Chi Yue nodded repeatedly, innocently saying, "Yes, my grandfather was so kind and discerning, how could he kill his own son? Especially for a... servant!"

When the word "servant" was mentioned, Princess Xiyue's tone suddenly changed, instantly transforming from a harmless little white rabbit into an evil wolf.

A glint of light flashed in her eyes.

Tu Gonggong stared wide-eyed, as if he were seeing Princess Chiyue for the first time.

Princess Chiyao's eyes suddenly reddened, and tears streamed down her face like glistening raindrops.

"Princess Red Key, you, you..."

cheated.

His Majesty has been deceived, everyone has been deceived.

Princess Chiyue was not some ignorant princess who was naive and clueless about the ways of the world.

Over the years, His Majesty has used the guise of benevolence to spoil her and make her docile and obedient, all to make her listen to him.

But now it seems that His Majesty has misjudged the situation.

Eunuch Tu's eyes were ferocious as he glared at Princess Chiyue. "Before I left, I told His Majesty that if Princess Chiyue obeyed, I would return safely."

If Princess Chiyue disobeys, this servant will not return to Xilin.

"Your Highness, are you truly determined to gamble with the lives of the entire Prince's family?"

"What nonsense is Eunuch Tu spouting?" Princess Chiyue looked at him in surprise.

"I am here to marry into the Northern Xuan Kingdom. My future husband, even if he is not the Crown Prince, will be a prince."

"Your Highness, Chi Yue is about to become a member of Bei Xuan. If the safety of Chi Yue's family is threatened, would Your Highness be willing to stand up for Chi Yue?"

The Crown Prince said, "Of course, since you have married into my Northern Xuan, you will be under my protection. If Princess Chiyue's family is harmed, I promise you that the iron hooves of Northern Xuan will surely trample into the Western Lin Imperial City to avenge your family."

I will have my father write to Emperor Xilin to inform him of this matter.

He was merely a eunuch, yet he dared to plot against me and provoke peace between our two nations; he deserved to die!

Tu Gonggong's face was deathly pale.

He never expected that the Crown Prince of Beixuan would escort Princess Chiyue here.

Chi Yue smiled slightly: "Then thank you very much, Your Highness."

The Crown Prince nodded slightly and looked at Eunuch Tu: "Someone come here!"

The person leading the group from the government office was Yu Hai. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness."

"This man poisoned me and plotted to kill me. Take him away and execute him on the spot."

Eunuch Tu's expression changed completely; he couldn't believe that the Crown Prince of Beixuan would dare to kill him.

"I am an envoy, the Crown Prince of Beixuan. You dare to kill an envoy from another country? Aren't you afraid that war will break out between our two nations again?"

The Third Prince stepped forward at the opportune moment and said, "How dare you! You eunuch plotted against me and my elder brother, the Crown Prince, and now you dare to turn around and accuse me? You deserve to die!"

Eunuch Tu said urgently, "Even if I have committed a crime, I should be escorted back to Xilin and dealt with by His Majesty. What right do you have?"

The Crown Prince ordered directly, "Yu Hai, take him away and have his head cut off as a warning to others!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

No matter how much Tu Gonggong screamed and cursed, he was still taken away by the Beixuan soldiers.

Just before he was led out the door, he looked at Princess Chiyue, only to find that her face was no longer innocent as before, but instead she was looking at him with a faint smile, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Eunuch Tu suddenly realized that he shouldn't have let Princess Chiyue come to Beixuan.

Sending her to Beixuan is like letting a tiger into the mountains.

Your Majesty, you have made a mistake.
