God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

Inside the Chu Palace

After the court session, the emperor returned to the imperial study with steady and powerful steps.

He frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something important.

After sitting down, the emperor turned to the eunuch Shun who had been serving beside him and said, "Little Shun, go and find the fourth son quickly. I have something important to discuss with him."

Eunuch Shun bowed quickly and responded, "Well, I'll do it right away." After saying that, he did not dare to delay in the slightest and hurried towards the Fourth Prince's residence.

After a while, Eunuch Shun arrived at the Fourth Prince's residence.

The two guards at the gate of the mansion saw that the person coming was Eunuch Shun, and they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him respectfully. One of the guards bowed slightly and said, "Eunuch Shun, are you here today to discuss something important with our prince? Please come in!"

After saying this, the guard made a gesture of invitation and led Eunuch Shun into the mansion.

After passing through the courtyard and corridor, the guard brought Eunuch Shun to the door of the study.

Eunuch Shun knocked on the door and shouted, "Fourth Prince, I have been ordered to deliver a message."

Only a slight noise was heard from the study. Soon, the door was pushed open and the Fourth Prince walked out quickly with big strides.

Everyone looked up and saw that the Fourth Prince was wearing a plain brocade robe. The robe was of fine texture and embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns.

He was tall and straight, standing upright like a green pine tree; his face was extraordinarily handsome, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and lips slightly pursed under his high nose bridge. However, at this moment, a hint of doubt was faintly revealed on his face, which was originally as calm as water.

When the Fourth Prince saw Eunuch Shun, he immediately bowed and asked, "Eunuch, I wonder why my father suddenly summoned me this time. What is the matter?"

Eunuch Shun shook his head and replied, "Your Highness, I really don't know. Please go to the Imperial Study. You will know when you get there."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince did not ask any more questions. He knew that the emperor's order could not be disobeyed, so he followed Eunuch Shun to the imperial study.

Along the way, the Fourth Prince secretly wondered what kind of important matter could have warranted his father's personal summons.

Not long after, the two of them walked quickly and arrived outside the imperial study.

At this time, Eunuch Shun, who had been following them, walked into the imperial study and reported: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has arrived."

All I heard was a deep and magnetic voice coming from inside the room: "Let him in."

After receiving the emperor's order, Eunuch Shun turned and walked out of the imperial study. He nodded slightly to the Fourth Prince who was standing not far away, and said with a flattering smile on his face: "Fourth Prince, the emperor invites you in." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw the emperor sitting in front of his desk, his expression solemn and majestic without even being angry.

The fourth prince hurried forward a few steps, knelt down respectfully and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."

The emperor raised his hand slightly and said, "Fourth Brother, get up and take a seat quickly."

The fourth prince said, "Thank you, father."

He stood up and carefully sat down on a chair beside him.

He raised his head, met the emperor's majestic gaze, and waited quietly for his father to speak.

The emperor stared at the fourth brother with a sharp gaze and said, "Fourth brother, you have always been closest to the eldest brother. This time, father wants you to investigate the military rations with the second brother. Do you know why?"

The fourth elder bowed his head slightly and replied, "Your Majesty, I am stupid. Please enlighten me, Father."

The emperor sighed heavily and said, "The military rations were robbed this time, which is a serious matter. The army is already in a panic because of this. If the truth is not found out as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous. As for the second brother, he was in charge of the escort of the military rations this time. Now that this has happened, he cannot escape the blame. I'm sure you understand the second brother's thoughts, so I want you to participate in the investigation, just to let you find out whether it was the second brother who did it."

The fourth brother was shocked and said hurriedly, "Father, my second brother is an upright person. I find it hard to believe that he would do such a thing."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Humph, people's hearts are hidden, this matter is of great importance, and we cannot draw conclusions based on past impressions. I asked you to investigate because I believe in your fairness and ability. You must investigate thoroughly for me and not show any partiality."

The fourth elder quickly stood up, knelt down and clasped his fists: "Don't worry, father. I will definitely fulfill my mission and find out the truth and give you an explanation."

The emperor nodded slightly: "Get up, remember, this matter must be investigated secretly, and you must not alert the enemy. If there is really a mastermind behind this, we must root it out."

The fourth son replied, "Yes, Father, I understand."

The emperor waved his hand: "Okay, go ahead."

The fourth brother bowed again and left the imperial study.

The moment he walked out of the room, he felt an extremely heavy burden on his shoulders, but he also secretly vowed in his heart that he must get to the bottom of the matter.
