No way, is that such a coincidence?

The prince went to the imperial kitchen in the morning, and Pei Huizhou was poisoned at noon.

The prince shrugged his shoulders and said to Bai Lu with a smile: "What are you looking at me doing? This is none of my business."

"I sent cakes to all the palaces. Does anyone know how he got poisoned?"

"..."

Bai Lu fell silent.

Well...that's true.

Moreover, if the prince really poisoned Pei Huizhou directly, wouldn’t it be too obvious?

There is no way to explain this to the Emperor and the Empress. It shouldn't be something the Crown Prince did on purpose, right?

"Then if we speak ill of Pei Huizhou and expose his past at this time, will His Majesty favor Pei Huizhou and not punish him?"

Bai Lu asked the prince seriously.

The prince thought about it and answered Bai Lu seriously: "Actually, I think...what you said makes sense. We can't tell father at this time."

"When Pei Huizhou is no longer poisoned, I will tell Father about these things."

Not long after, the eunuch passed another message to Bai Lu and the prince: "Your Highness, according to Marquis Anguo, our Lord Pei was not poisoned, it was just a false alarm."

"The master has been weak recently, so he fainted for a while. The people from the Imperial Hospital came and felt his pulse first, thinking it was a sign of poisoning. Later, they felt it again and found that... there was nothing wrong with him."

Bai Lu and the prince both nodded, "It would be better if nothing happened."

"...Then this is the perfect time to file a complaint."

The prince and Bai Lu lowered their heads to glance at the seven little moons and touched their little faces.

It is also very time-consuming to touch them one by one.

Bai Lu smiled at them and said, "You can all go and have fun. Remember to stay in the Queen Mother's Palace and don't go outside."

If they used the appearance of the seven little moons and the face of Little July at this time, many things would be much easier to do.

However, neither Bai Lu nor the prince mentioned this matter. They just went to the imperial study in the emperor's palace alone.

"..."

The emperor rubbed his head and felt a headache.

He looked up at the two people standing in front of him. They were both tall and graceful. One was tall and straight, and the other was graceful and slender, like a fairy concubine. They actually looked pleasing to the eye and a good match...

It’s just that I always feel there’s something weird about these two people, as if they just can’t get along.

The emperor asked them, "You two are here in my study again. What are you doing?"

The two of them bowed to the emperor at the same time, and the prince said, "Father, the reason I came here this time is that I want to tell you something. There is actually a secret room in the East Palace!"

"???"

"!!!"

"What? There is a secret room in your East Palace?!"

The emperor's face changed drastically.

Then Bai Lu said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this secret room was discovered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I! There is a secret room in the East Palace... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't even know about these things. It was all arranged by Lord Pei."

"After all, he was the one who supervised the renovation of the East Palace in previous years!"

"...The East Palace he renovated actually had such a loophole. When Haitang was imprisoned in the East Palace, she disappeared from the study. This incident must have something to do with Lord Pei."

It turned out to be Pei Huizhou again. The emperor felt a little headache.

He frowned, his face serious, and said directly to Zhang the chief steward below: "Go and call that damn Pei Huizhou over here!"

Chief Steward Zhang hesitated, "But, I heard that... Lord Pei had just been poisoned. If we ask him to come here at this time, will Lord Pei be ill and unwilling to come?"

Bai Lu smiled and said to Zhang, "Zhang, go ahead and call him. I, the miracle doctor, am here to make sure he survives."

"Besides, he wasn't poisoned. The people at the Imperial Hospital have already diagnosed him and said that he was ill and just a little weak recently."

"We just asked him to come over to ask some questions. He can't be asked to death directly, right?"

Manager Zhang nodded, his old face blushed, and he hurried over to call Pei Huizhou.

The emperor was not idle at this time. He took advantage of the gap and went to the East Palace with Bai Lu and the prince to take a look at the prince's study in the East Palace.

After watching it, I found that there really is a secret room...

The emperor's expression changed completely.

The prince is the foundation of the country, he cannot be touched. Pei Huizhou is really too presumptuous!

Manager Zhang was also very considerate. Knowing that the emperor, Bai Lu and others had come to the Eastern Palace, he simply called Pei Huizhou to the Eastern Palace instead of calling him to the emperor's study.

Pei Huizhou had just arrived at the East Palace. His face was pale, and he saluted weakly to the emperor: "Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at his pale face and wanted to scold him, but all of a sudden, he couldn't say anything.

But when the emperor thought of the bad things he had done, he became furious!

He jumped up and threw the Buddhist beads in his hand directly at Pei Huizhou.

The anger was so great that the Buddhist beads broke into pieces on Pei Huizhou's body like beads with a broken string!

"Look at what you have done. What on earth is going on with the study in the East Palace? How could you set up a secret room in the prince's study? Huh?!"

Pei Huizhou's face turned pale, and he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I did not...I did not set up a secret room in the study!"

"How could there be a secret room in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's study?"

As he said this, he turned his head to look at the Crown Prince and Bai Lu, and angrily said to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, did the Marquis of Anguo tell you something? This is really an injustice to me!! It's definitely the Marquis of Anguo! He is throwing dirty water on me!"

"I will never install a secret room in the study of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This is simply a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of my clan! Even if... I don't have nine generations of my clan, I will never do such a dangerous thing."

"Marquis Anguo, Your Highness the Crown Prince, what evidence do you two have to prove that this secret room was built by me?!"

Pei Huizhou looked very angry. "You know, building a secret room is not something that can be done in a day or two! If we renovate the East Palace and build a secret room inside the East Palace... then it will make some noise anyway."

"When the East Palace was being renovated, so many eunuchs and palace maids were watching nearby! How could I justify doing such a thing in front of so many people?!"

"You two are making up charges to frame me! At least make them more reasonable. This kind of thing doesn't sound credible!"
