The Fourth Lady

Chapter 263 Crown Prince Is Posioned (Ⅰ)

"Son, it's all mother's fault. If I hadn't been cranky in my pregnancy, you wouldn't have ended up like

this." The empress looked at Xuanyuan Yvze with a distressed face and said, "it's my fault."

Xuanyuan Yvze held the empress' hand in response. "Mother, please don't say that. It has nothing to

do with you. Moreover, I am weak and sick. How can I blame you?"

The empress wept as she listened to Xuanyuan Yvze's words. She really wanted to know why his son

was so weak and ill after he was born, but after investigating for a long time, there was no more

detailed reason.

When she was pregnant, the men taking care of her were all her family, not someone else. These men

were her bodyguards that she brought out. No one would harm her.

Thus, the Crown Prince's matter was ultimately left behind. Moreover, the imperial physician had said

that the Crown Prince was weak and ill, so there was no way to cure him.

The empress looked after the the East Palace in the East Palace for a period of time. She didn't leave

until the Crown Prince fell asleep.

When Xuanyuan Yvzhen arrived at the Guanjv Palace, he saw Murong Jingxuan playing chess with

Qilian Yvran. He knew well about the chess techniques of Qilian Yvran and Murong Jingxuan. If the two

men were the opponents, then Qilian Yvran was bound to lose the game.

"Fourth Prince, you're here," Qilian Yvran put down the chess pieces in her hand and smiled at

Xuanyuan Yvzhen. "Jingxuan's as good at chess as Qingyan."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yvzhen shook his head helplessly. "Mother, that's because you're too weak in

chess. You can't even defeat me, not to mention Qingyan and Jingxuan."

Qilian Yvran waved at Xuanyuan Yvzhen and said, "you're right. What happened today in the court?"

Xuanyuan Yvzhen stared at Qilian Yvran and Murong Jingxuan and nodded earnestly. "All the officials

in the court have joined the conversation about the Crown Prince. It is said that the Crown Prince

should be seated by a capable man. But the Crown Prince's physical condition is not good. When the

Crown Prince came back just now, he had vomited blood." Xuanyuan Yvzhen stared at them and asked

earnestly.

"Xuanyuan Yvfan is so dazzling now. Do you think that the emperor will ignore the Second Prince?"

Murong Jingxuan, who was still playing with the piece in his hand, said coldly, "He isreally an idiot."

"Jingxuan, don't you know the Second Prince well?" Xuanyuan Yvzhen looked at Murong Jingxuan and

said resignedly, "the most he wants now is the death of his father and the Crown Prince. He will

become the emperor after that."

"Humph!" "To the throne? I'm afraid that the wish he will have for the rest of his life will never come

true. "

Xuanyuan Yvzhen agreed with him. If Xuanyuan Yvfan wanted to become the emperor, people would

definitely suffer. Whether the other countries would eliminate him was another story. Moreover, the

Donghe Kingdom was not the only kingdom which wanted to unfiy the four countries.

"By the way, I just heard you say that the Crown Prince spat out blood?" As if remembering something,

Murong Jingxuan opened his mouth. "I've always known that the Crown Prince is weak and sick. But I

don't know why."

Qilian Yvran looked at them and said with a smile, "the empress seemed to be in a bad mood during

her pregnancy, so the Crown Prince has always been weak and sick since he was born. I once went to

see the Crown Prince for his health, but unfortunately, I didn't find anything wrong. His health is indeed

the same as the physician said. He is born with it."

Hearing that, Murong Jingxuan shook his head. "Yanyan was poisoned since she was a child, so she is

not in good health now. I don't believe the Crown Prince is born with sickness. Someone must have

planned to harm the Crown Prince when the empress is pregnant, which has caused his health

problem."

What Murong Jingxuan said made sense. But the empress had told her that she was always taken care

of by her own when she was pregnant. No one wanted to hurt her.

"Jingxuan, I heard the empress said she was taken good care of by her families. Who would want to

harm her?"

Murong Jingxuan shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't know either. What's more, I haven't

been able to tell whether the Crown Prince is in good health or not. It's not a good thing for you and the

Fourth Prince."

"By the way, Jingxuan, isn't Chonglou good at medical skills?" Xuanyuan Yvzhen asked in surprise as

he looked at Murong Jingxuan. "If you ask the Chonglou to visit the Crown Prince, I'm sure we will

know the truth."

Murong Jingxuan shook his head. "He's not in the Capital City these days. He went to

mountains to study the antidotes for Qingyan. I guess he won't be back home these days."

Murong Jingxuan's words reminded Qilian Yvran of Qingyan. In the past, Qilian Qingyan had been

adept at taking down all these messy medical books. With the help of Taoist Yunhen and Weisheng

Junmo, she had made a little success, especially in poisoning and antidote.

"I know there is someone who can help the Crown Prince cure without being suspected." Qilian Yvran

looked at them and said with a smile.

"Do you know someone who is good at medical skills? And he is better than you!" Xuanyuan Yvzhen

asked in surprise as he heard what Qilian Yvran said.

"We all know this woman. She is Yanyan." Qilian Yvran looked at them and said with a smile, "since

Qingyan's medical skills aren't exposed, mother's medical skills are far worse than hers."

Xuanyuan Yvzhen was curious about how Qilian Yvran knew Qingyan was good at medical skills, but

he couldn't ask. He always felt that Qilian Yvran seemed to miss someone when treating Qingyan, and NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

he knew who that person was without saying anything.

"Fourth Prince, go to the Jiangjunfu and pick up Yanyan for a few days. After all, the new year's Eve is

coming. We can let her go back after the party."

Hearing what Qilian Yvran said, Xuanyuan Yvzhen nodded respectfully. "Mother, Princess Chunyun

seems to have been living in the palace recently. I think she must be too boring. If you have time, you

can go to see her."

Hearing Xuanyuan Yvzhen's words, Qilian Yvran also smiled and nodded. "This is natural. After all, she

is your father's aunt. If I have time, I will naturally go visit her. Isn't Yanyan coming here too? When

Yanyan comes here, we can go to visit her together. "
