The most romantic little emperor

Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction, and without further ado, he got straight to the point and said, "Okay, I'll have someone send you back later. Your current mission is to secretly collect evidence of Dong Sicheng and Dong Mei'er's crimes."

"However, this matter is extremely dangerous. You must act carefully and not reveal any flaws. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous and you may even lose your life."

After hearing this, Xiaodie's smile became even brighter. She bowed deeply to Qin Hao and replied firmly and forcefully, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely live up to your trust and handle this matter properly. Even if I am exposed, I will never betray you and am willing to die for you."

Qin Hao shook his head slightly, his tone revealing deep concern: "Remember, no matter what, you must protect yourself. If you encounter something that you can't do, don't act recklessly. Saving your life is important. I can't bear to see you die."

Qin Hao paused and continued, "Old Feng, A Yue, you and me, only the four of us know about this. Therefore, you are safe for now. Later, I will let A Yue secretly send you back to Linglong Palace. You need to be careful when dealing with Dong Mei'er and Dong Sicheng. If your identity is exposed, come to me directly and I will protect you."

After hearing what Qin Hao said, Xiaodie felt a warm current in her heart, and her gratitude was beyond words. She nodded gently, and then, under A Yue's quiet escort, she returned safely to Linglong Palace.

……

The next morning, Wang Yourong and several sisters hurried to visit Qin Hao. When they saw that he had recovered, all the girls smiled happily, as if the spring breeze was blowing on their faces, warm and cozy.

Not long after, Luo Yang, the chief guard of the Imperial Guards, came in and reported, "Your Highness, Concubine Su is waiting outside the palace and requests an audience."

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of doubt in his heart. Su Ziyan? Why did she come here at this moment? There was no friendship between him and her, let alone any grudges.

Could it be that she was really testing whether she was really poisoned on behalf of her brother Su Zhengfang, the cunning old fox?

However, Qin Hao knew that in this palace, it is better to be safe than sorry. He whispered a few words to the women, asking them to cooperate with the performance, and then signaled Luo Yang to let Concubine Su come in.

Concubine Su was wearing a luxurious palace dress, which showed her voluptuous figure to the fullest, showing her royal dignity. Led by Luo Yang, she slowly entered the Crown Princess's bedroom.

As soon as she entered the room, her bewitching eyes looked around, as if she was looking for some clues.

As her eyes wandered, she could not help but notice something strange in the bedroom. Although the blood had been wiped off the ground, some traces could still be found, and there seemed to be a lingering smell of blood in the air.

What made her even more puzzled was that so many people had gathered in the palace so early in the morning. The three imperial doctors looked solemn, and the palace maids were also tired, obviously having not slept all night. The Crown Princess and others were also gathered together, and it seemed that His Highness was indeed ill.

Inside the palace, everyone looked serious and the atmosphere was very depressing. The scene before him did not look like His Highness had a minor illness, but more like a seriously ill person on the verge of death.

She approached gently, and through the gap in the beaded curtain, she saw Qin Hao lying on the bed. She said softly, "Prince, I heard that you were not feeling well, so I came to visit you."

Qin Hao's voice revealed a hint of weakness that was difficult to conceal. He whispered, "My aunt is so thoughtful. I just caught a cold accidentally. It's nothing serious. Please go back first. When I recover, I will pay my respects to you... ahem..."

Before he finished speaking, he started coughing violently again, and he kept coughing, as if he was going to cough out his heart and lungs, which made people feel upset.

Concubine Su's eyes were full of concern. She kept looking inside, hoping to see Qin Hao's true face to determine his true condition. However, the pearl curtain in front of her prevented her from fulfilling her wish.

She opened her red lips with worry and said softly, "Prince, you are coughing so badly, I am a little worried! Can I come in to see you?"

Qin Hao waved his hand indifferently and immediately refused: "No need, there are palace maids and imperial doctors here to take good care of me. I appreciate your concern, Auntie. But please go back first and don't worry about my little thing anymore."

Seeing this, Concubine Su became even more suspicious. She begged anxiously, "Prince, you are so sick. I am very worried. I just want to see you with my own eyes. Just one look, and then I will feel at ease and return to the palace."

"Please understand my aunt's feelings at this moment, Your Highness."

Qin Hao slowly sat up from the bed. Under the dim illumination of the beaded curtain, his movements seemed to be very strenuous, and he even had to be helped up by the Crown Princess.

"Well, since my aunt is interested, please come in." Qin Hao said weakly.

Concubine Su raised her eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her red lips. She stood up gracefully, walked in slowly with lotus steps.

As the bead curtain was lifted, the two people's eyes crossed in the air.

Qin Hao's face was as pale as paper, with a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth that had not been wiped off in time, like the last bit of red on a withered flower.

This scene made Concubine Su's heart ecstatic instantly. But her beautiful face did not show any of it, instead, she revealed a trace of deep sadness. She walked quickly to Qin Hao, her eyes filled with tears, and she choked up in a low voice, as if she was sad for his pain.

Her voice was sincere and her beautiful eyes were full of sadness. This scene was so moving that Qin Hao was almost confused by this emotion.

The poison of the Datura flower is something that only people in the harem could use. All signs point to the Su family and the Dong family.

The Dong family's goal is to make Dong Meir the Crown Princess, so there is probably no need for them to poison him like this. The Su family is different. Su Zhengfang's wolfish ambitions are obvious. He may very well support the Ninth Prince to ascend the throne, or even change the dynasty. Therefore, the possibility of the Su family poisoning him is obviously much greater than that of the Dong family.

It was just suspicion at first, but the sudden visit of Concubine Su made his suspicion even stronger.

"Prince, what happened to you? You were fine a few days ago, why did you suddenly fall ill?" Concubine Su spoke softly with a hint of sadness in her voice.

Qin Hao waved his hand gently, with a look of weakness on his face, like an old man who was dying. "Alas! The imperial physician said that I was overworked and there was nothing serious. Aunt, don't be sad, I just have a minor injury, you should go back and rest early!"

"puff!"

Just as he finished speaking, Qin Hao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood without warning. The blood splattered everywhere and landed on Concubine Su's gorgeous palace dress, like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow, shocking to the eye.
