The prince was used to being fawned over by others, and he didn't bother to care about the accidents of the young masters around him, just treating it as an accident. Now that he was not living a smooth life, he didn't want Yun Mujiu to live a smooth life!

After Yun Shirou returned to the Yun Mansion, the Ye Mansion received news of Yun Shirou's whereabouts.

Yun Mujiu ate breakfast and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Prime Minister Yun rushing to please the Crown Prince at this time?"

Ye Xiaohan said: "Prime Minister Yun is not valued by the emperor, and he is anxious to find other helpers."

Yun Mujiu nodded slightly, "But, the emperor is still here, and Prime Minister Yun is so eager to get close to the prince. The emperor will definitely be dissatisfied if he knows about this."

Ye Xiaohan's mouth curled up a hint of sarcasm, but he didn't say anything. Yun Mujiu, who didn't hold an official position in the court, understood the truth, but Yun Xiang didn't understand it.

You're trying to curry favor with me before I die. How stupid!

Yun Mujiu added: "However, Prime Minister Yun may think that he is simply concerned about the prince of a country, but he does not know that his actions are crossing the line in the eyes of the emperor and other officials. He is now the emperor's man, but he wants to establish a connection with the prince privately."

After the prince got into trouble, Yun Xiang would not know the whole story of the prince's incident so quickly according to his current power. Ye Xiaohan had someone secretly pass the news to Yun Xiang, and Yun Xiang immediately knew the truth, and then immediately wanted to get close to the prince.

As expected, when the Emperor heard that Prime Minister Yun had sent people to the Prince's Mansion, his expression immediately turned grim.

"Huh! What a scheming mind!"

After the morning court session, the emperor left Prime Minister Yun behind and warned him coldly, "My dear Prime Minister Yun, I hope you know what you should and shouldn't do!"

"Your Majesty?" Yun Xiang was unable to react for a moment. Looking at the emperor's angry expression, he immediately guessed something. "Your Majesty, I am concerned about the Crown Prince and the stability of the government! I have no second thoughts about Your Majesty!"

The emperor didn't want to care whether the matter was true or not. He scolded Prime Minister Yun and left.

Yun Xiang, who was kneeling on the spot, had a pale face. It seemed that he had good intentions but ended up doing something bad. Although he wanted to take this opportunity to ease the relationship with the prince, he did not expect to make the emperor so angry.

Alas! It seems that his position in the emperor's heart is no longer what it used to be!

The emperor returned to the imperial study and received information about his whereabouts discovered by the secret guards.

The four friends of the prince had lunch at Yue Gui Lou before the accident. However, they became mute after drinking wine after leaving Yue Gui Lou for a long time. Therefore, it cannot be proved that there is something wrong with Yue Gui Lou.

The emperor stared at him and changed the subject: "Have you found out the identity of the owner of Yueguilou?"

The secret guard bowed his head and said: "I am incompetent! I encountered unknown resistance during the investigation and have not found anything yet."

Eunuch Li said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the food at Yuegui Tower. I think those four people may have secretly offended someone. Or maybe they just drank too much and had too much fun, so their health naturally collapsed."

The emperor nodded slightly, "When they feel better, send someone to ask them what happened."

Then the emperor paused.

Wine? At this moment, he suddenly thought of Ye Chufeng, the son he had never paid attention to.

After Ye Chufeng made a stunning appearance and won the second place in the hunting competition, he began to notice Ye Chufeng's bright spots. Unfortunately, it was only a flash in the pan. Ye Chufeng was as dandy as ever, and even explained that improving hunting skills was just for fun. Later, he never paid attention to this son who only knew how to play.

The emperor called a eunuch and ordered him to go and see how the seventh prince is doing.

In Fengyi Palace, the queen looked coldly at the kneeling guards.

"Can't find out the reason why the prince is abnormal?"

The guard replied, "Your Highness, I have checked your Highness's experience over the past few days and found that there is no problem with the prince's diet. Doctor Shi has also diagnosed that your Highness is not poisoned."

The Queen said quietly, "I know the Crown Prince's temper. No matter how impulsive he is, he would not have embarrassed himself twice that night..."

The guard said, "Your Highness, in addition to the teahouses and restaurants you usually visit, His Highness has also been to the newly opened Laurel Tower and Hundred Flowers Garden in the capital."

"I know about it, but the prince did not show any abnormality after having the meal at the Laurel Tower. The prince made a fuss a few days after having the meal at the Laurel Tower." The queen did send people to investigate, but the result was that there was nothing wrong with the meals at the Laurel Tower. On the contrary, they were good for the prince's health.

As for the brothel that leaked the prince's information that night, the queen ordered overnight to secretly torture the people in the brothel who had contact with the prince. Those people confessed that because there were too many guests in the brothel, they failed to block the news of the prince's visit to the brothel, and begged for their lives.

However, the queen still ordered the killing of the brothel madam and the prostitutes who knew about the incident, and severely punished the prince's entourage and personal guards.

Nanny Pei saw the Queen frowning and said, "Your Majesty, maybe this is an accident. It seems that the Crown Prince's sudden abnormality is not caused by human factors."

The queen was thoughtful, thinking that since the prince was suffering from a serious illness, it was normal for him to behave abnormally from time to time.

Suddenly, the queen narrowed her eyes and spoke coldly.

"I checked the prince's food, but I didn't check the medicine he took..."

Nanny Pei was surprised: "Madam, the queen said that the medicine prescribed by Doctor Wu and his daughter might have problems?"

"Not sure." The Queen's eyes were fierce, "If they dare to harm me and the Crown Prince, I will not forgive them!"

The Queen gave the order: "Come here, ask my personal doctor to check the medicines that the Crown Prince has been taking recently!"

"I understand. I will go and ask Doctor Li right away." Nanny Pei responded respectfully.

...

The trial result of the case in which four young men in the capital were beaten to disability has not yet come out. The Jingzhao Yin pretended to be serious and attentive, but he did not pay any attention to the case. Of course, he knew who had beaten those four men.

Jingzhao Yin sent someone to deliver a message to Ye Xiaohan to report the progress of the investigation. At the same time, he also brought a piece of news that Yun Mujiu had been concerned about.

Yun Mujiu called Suixi to inform Jingzhao Yin of the final results of the investigation. In the case files of the government offices in the capital and the county offices near the capital, no reports of missing young girls that met Tao Tao's conditions were found.

Suixi felt slightly disappointed and guilty: "Princess, I have troubled you for so long. I am sorry for your concern."

Yun Mujiu comforted him, "It's okay. There are plenty of days ahead. We will slowly investigate. If we can't find anything near the capital, we will expand the scope. Even if we have to search the entire Zhongyue territory, we will find out Tao Tao's background."

Fusang also patted Suixi's shoulder and said, "Things will eventually come to light."

Yun Mujiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, jokingly saying: "Maybe by then we will find out Tao Tao's true identity, and as a brother, I'm afraid you won't want to let Tao Tao leave."

Suixi thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Taotao is a child and should need her family. Besides, she may not be like me, who has been an orphan since childhood. If Taotao really has a home and her family treats her well, I am willing to let Taotao go back as long as she is happy."

"If Taotao's family is unwilling to accept Taotao, I am willing to support Taotao for the rest of my life."

"Okay!" Yun Mujiu couldn't help but be moved by Suixi's sincerity, "You are a good brother, Taotao will understand."

At this time, Fu Qian came to report anxiously: "Princess, the Seventh Prince vomited blood!"

Yun Mujiu stood up suddenly, "How could it be!"
