They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

The two eunuchs didn't understand what was happening. They just shouted for mercy twice when they were dragged away, gagged, and held in the yard.

Another eunuch who was guarding outside the door was also dragged over.

The execution was carried out directly in the courtyard.

Without Jiang Wanyue's reminder, the maids took Xu'er and Qi'er back to the house to prevent them from seeing the blood on the floor.

Jiang Wanyue walked out of Li Chengze's room, glanced at the three eunuchs with terrified faces, and gave instructions to the executioner.

"Don't beat him to death, keep him alive for interrogation."

The prince was full of questions and walked over with his men.

"Mother, what's going on?"

Jiang Wanyue wiped her hands with a handkerchief: "Zer didn't eat that snack. He suddenly fell into a coma. It must have been done by someone around him."

There are many ways to make someone suddenly unconscious, but most of them require close proximity.

Just now, several children were outside, followed by several people, all carefully protecting their respective masters. If someone else took action, it would be unlikely to go unnoticed. Only if someone close to Li Chengze took action could it be hidden from these eunuchs.

The prince suddenly understood the key, his face looked unhappy and he cursed.

"They are traitors! All of their clans should be killed!"

After he finished cursing, the prince's face turned red and his chest heaved, obviously he was extremely angry.

"He deserves to be killed, but we have to wait until the whole thing is investigated before we can convict him."

Jiang Wanyue's tone was indifferent, but her eyes were cold.

The palace servant in charge of the execution showed no mercy and was very cruel.

The three eunuchs had their mouths blocked and wanted to scream in pain, but couldn't make a sound, and their expressions were particularly ferocious.

After a few blows, one of them fainted with convulsions all over.

Jiang Wanyue did not call for a stop and the execution continued.

In this huge courtyard, the only sound you could hear was the sound of the board hitting flesh.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Soon, blood oozed from the backs of the three men.

The bloodstains grew more and more, soaking the clothes, flowing down, dripping onto the ground, and soon, gathering into a pool of blood-red.

The palace maids who had been questioned trembled as they watched this scene.

Jiang Wanyue watched coldly without saying a word.

She just wanted to make an example of someone.

Soon, the beatings were over and the three eunuchs were dying.

Then, Mier ordered people to drag the three people away.

The Queen Mother said that we can’t beat him to death, so we have to use medicine to stop the bleeding.

A few eunuchs are not worthy of their masters' best medicine.

Fortunately, the imperial physician arrived at this time.

The eunuch who went to ask for the imperial physician was shocked when he saw the pool of blood on the ground.

He was also Lee Seong-taek's personal eunuch.

Jiang Wanyue didn't even look at him, she just waved at Mi'er and let her deal with it.

How many questions you can ask depends on Mier.

After doing all this, Jiang Wanyue turned and entered the inner room of the main hall.

Xu'er came running over.

"mother!"

He hugged Jiang Wanyue tightly, without any fear on his face, and just asked a question.

"Is Third Brother okay?"

Jiang Wanyue touched his face and said, "The imperial physician is here. Your third brother should be fine. By the way, did you eat anything wrong today?"

Xuer shook his head.

"Xu'er, remember what mother told you not to eat anything careless. Did Third Brother faint because he ate something careless?"

Jiang Wanyue shook her head indifferently.

"No."

Xu'er looked confused and curious.

This child is really brave and not afraid at all.

Jiang Wanyue thought that Xu'er was grown up now, so it would be okay to tell him these things.

She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly Xu'er's gaze shifted away and fell behind her.

Then, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Wanyue turned around suddenly and saw that the prince's face was red and his expression was painful. He suddenly half-knelt on the ground.

Jiang Wanyue’s first reaction was to pull Xu’er back several steps and shout.

"Someone! Call the imperial physician quickly, the prince is in trouble!"

Xu'er subconsciously wanted to go over to help the prince, but Jiang Wanyue held him back tightly, preventing him from getting close.

"mother?"

Xu'er didn't understand what was going on.

Jiang Wanyue covered his mouth and nose with one hand and ran out of the palace with him.

Her movements were quite fast.

Just now, the prince had been following her and had not touched anything, but suddenly something went wrong. The only thing Jiang Wanyue could think of was that he smelled something.

The first thing that came to her mind was the fragrance in Li Chengze's room.

The aroma is particularly strong, probably because it is specially made with a lot of spices.

Jiang Wanyue also likes to use incense on a daily basis, and she can be sure that there is no poison in it.

So, she herself was fine.

But something happened to the prince...

Jiang Wanyue's eyes flashed.

Is it some kind of poison?

This kind of poison is not particularly rare. Just like food incompatibility, medicinal herb incompatibility is more common and frequent.

However, it is relatively rare for the smell alone to stimulate the production of poison.

I don’t know if the imperial physician can tell.

Jiang Wanyue was just thinking about it when she saw the imperial physician running towards her with a medical box on his back.

The Third Prince just fainted and his life is not in danger. Of course, the Crown Prince is more important right now.

As soon as the prince fell, everyone in Taiji Palace panicked.

Even Mi'er and Xing'er ran over and stood by Jiang Wanyue, alert and worried.

Jiang Wanyue calmed herself down.

"Mi'er, go to Liangyi Palace and invite the emperor over."

Mi'er bit her lower lip, gathered all the palace maids, and asked them to stay by Jiang Wanyue's side before leaving.

Liangyi Hall is very close to Taiji Hall, and Li Ce arrived quickly.

But Li Ce didn’t come alone.

Following behind him was a person in a light blue dress. It was Luo Yudian.

In a flash, Jiang Wanyue quietly made a gesture to Xing'er, and Xing'er immediately pulled the young master and quietly retreated behind the door.

At the same time, Jiang Wanyue pinched her palm hard.

The sudden pain made her face turn slightly pale, and her breath was weak when she spoke.

"emperor……"

Li Ce was shocked to see her like this, and quickly stepped onto the stairs to support her.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you scared?"

Jiang Wanyue gave a "weak" and forced smile.

"I am fine, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... Your Majesty, please go see the Crown Prince first! I will be fine after a short rest."

She was panting, and after saying these two sentences, her eyes suddenly turned and looked at Luo Yudin behind Li Ce.

"Shufei is here too? What a coincidence! I thought you went back to Shujing Palace."

"Stop talking for now."

Li Ce supported half of Jiang Wanyue's body and walked towards Xu'er's residence. After carefully placing Jiang Wanyue on the purple bamboo couch, he was still not at ease.

Jiang Wanyue advised.

"I am much better now. Your Majesty should go and see the prince! With Concubine Shu serving by his side, Your Majesty does not need to worry."

Li Ce nodded, turned around and waved to Luo Yudian.

"Serve the queen well."

After saying this, he let go of Jiang Wanyue's hand and hurried to the main hall.

As soon as Li Ce left, Jiang Wanyue sat up and looked at Luo Yudin. After a while, she suddenly spoke.

"Isn't Concubine Shu going to see the Third Prince?"
