The reason why he revealed that his father suffered from a cough was, on the one hand, to reveal some useful information so that Mu Yunyu would not become suspicious of Lu Li, the "chess piece", and secondly, Mu Yunchen also had an element of gambling in it.

If the poisoning of the emperor was related to Mu Yunyu, then even if he was desperate, he would still be anxious to check his results.

But Mu Yunchen thought that that was their father. If he, the fifth brother, really poisoned his father in order to fight for the throne, it would be a heinous crime and would be chilling.

"What if the prince asks why Lu Li didn't go and report in person? How should I answer?"

Wenren Yingshan was worried that Lu Li had just joined Mu Yunyu, but then turned around and refused to respond to his call, which would make Mu Yunyu suspicious.

Mu Yunchen had not yet figured out how to bring Lu Li into the palace again. When he was in a dilemma, he heard Mu Peiyun smile.

"My mother said early on that she wanted the little prince to come to the palace to accompany her. I have been busy all day and now I am finally free. It just so happens that Your Highness has returned. Then I will bring the little prince to the palace to stay for two days and accompany my mother."

As Lu Li was close to Mu Peiyun, it was natural for her to follow him into the palace.

This is really very reasonable. The Queen Mother wants to see the little grandson, so there is no reason for the daughter-in-law not to fulfill her wish.

So Mu Peiyun brought little Mu Zhiyu, along with vegetarian wine and Lu Li, and entered the palace openly at sunset.

Lu Li didn't need to disguise herself, she felt much more comfortable in women's clothes.

During the day, she accompanied the Crown Prince into the palace to treat the Emperor, and in order to avoid being discovered by others, she disguised herself as a servant.

But now she is close to the Crown Princess, so she has to act openly and aboveboard.

Several people entered the palace and first paid a symbolic visit to the Queen Mother. Then, under the pretext that the Queen Mother brought the little grandson to pay a visit to the Emperor, they naturally entered the Emperor's bedroom.

Here, Mu Peiyun finally saw the pot of red lily of the valley that had an extremely strange fragrance, but she didn't know where the fragrance came from.

When the emperor saw Mu Zhiyu, whom he hadn't seen for many days, he was so happy that he almost recovered from his illness immediately.

However, when he saw Lu Li behind Mu Peiyun, he was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was Lu Li who had returned, and he felt a little confused.

"Why did Miss Lu come into the palace with me? Is there something wrong with my illness?"

"Your Majesty, can I take a closer look at this flower? I am very interested in it."

The emperor frowned. He had noticed that some people were acting strangely here before they left the palace in the afternoon. Now they were back again. Was there really something wrong with this flower?

The emperor then waved his hand and let them go.

Then the emperor and the queen started teasing little Zhiyu together.

Lu Li walked straight towards Xi Yanhong. Mu Peiyun watched from the side for a while and then followed Lu Li to study.

As a result, the two of them turned the evening primrose flower over and over again from petals to stems, but they really couldn't find any problems. The flower's unique fragrance was indeed there, but it was not on the flower itself.

It’s really strange, bad things happen every year, but this year there are especially many.

Just as he was wondering, Xiao Zhiyu suddenly stood up to look for his mother. He stumbled and accidentally dropped the rattle in his hand into the flowerpot, and then he fell to the ground.

Mu Peiyun was so frightened that she hurried over and hugged little Zhiyu. The tired emperor and empress looked at each other in bewilderment, hoping not to drop their darling baby.

Maybe the carpet in the emperor's bedroom was too thick, the little guy didn't feel any pain, broke free from his mother's arms and went to pick up the rattle in the flowerpot.

Seeing that the rattle was covered with mud, the little guy became unhappy and turned to his mother to ask for a new one.

This was a big deal, and Lu Li came over following the smell.

"My dear little prince, can you lend me your rattle to play with for a while? I will help you clean it."

When Mu Peiyun heard this, he turned around to look at the expression on Lu Li's face and immediately became nervous.

Looking at this situation, could it be that the strange fragrance is coming from the soil?

It's amazing! This is the first time in history that the fragrance of a flower comes from the soil.

No wonder she and Lu Li almost overturned the flowerpot but couldn’t find the source of the fragrance.

It’s just that little Zhiyu’s hands… Mu Peiyun looked at these dirty hands, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly told her father and mother, then took the child out to take a bath.

The next thing will be left to Lu Li.

Lu Li rummaged through his canvas bag and took out a pair of tweezers. He watched as Lu Li picked out many granular things from the bottom of the soil. He couldn't tell what they were. They looked like spices but they weren't spices.

Li Baoquan's eyes widened immediately, he stamped his feet anxiously, turned to look at the emperor, and pointed at the things Lu Li picked out of the mud in a panic.

"This... this... Your Majesty, this servant... this, oh, my Majesty, please look at this..."

The Queen supported the Emperor and walked slowly towards them. Lu Li was concentrating on examining the small pile of objects covered with cloth in front of him.

Upon seeing this, the Queen immediately wanted to summon Lu Xiaoyu into the palace. How dare she poison the current emperor!

Fortunately, the emperor stopped it in time.

Let’s not discuss whether these things found in the soil were the cause of the emperor’s poisoning.

Even so, we should not act rashly at this moment so as not to alert the enemy.

We should wait for Lu Li to develop the antidote first. Once the evidence is conclusive, it will not be too late to execute Lu Xiaoyu.

In addition, the emperor also suspected that Lu Xiaoyu had just passed the imperial examination and was the new chief of the Military Horse Department. How could he have the courage to murder the monarch when his foundation in the court was not stable?

How could a 16 or 17-year-old boy dare to commit such a heinous crime that would lead to the extermination of nine generations of his family? Perhaps there was someone else behind it.

If this is true, the life of the ruler of the world is at stake, and it will inevitably lead to a struggle for the throne.

The incident was extremely terrifying when one thought about it carefully, and the emperor's eyes suddenly became fierce.

This poison might have been instigated by one of his good sons.

At the moment, the emperor only held a glimmer of hope, that what Lu Li found in the soil was not those dirty things.

But Lu Li's words shattered the emperor's fantasy.

"Your Majesty, Queen, please transplant this flower. Do not touch it again, and do not inhale its fragrance again."

The emperor stared, slowly held the queen's hand, walked back to the couch steadily, took a deep breath, and his face was extremely cold.

"Go on."

Lu Li's mind was filled with her recent discovery, which made her forget the emperor's anger. Therefore, she was not that nervous. She pursed her lips and told him her recent discovery one by one.

Lu Li used the tool in his hand to pick up a small piece of dirt and explained, "Your Majesty, this thing may be the culprit that caused your poisoning."

In fact, Lu Li had already guessed 90% in her mind that this thing was the direct cause of the emperor's poisoning, but she was a doctor after all, and practicing medicine could not rely entirely on guesswork.

Therefore, the final conclusion can only be drawn after she takes the item back and studies it carefully.

Moreover, all things in the world are interdependent and mutually exclusive. If this thing really caused the emperor to be poisoned, then the key to the antidote may also be related to it.
