Seeing that he was like a madman, Nian Susu had a bad feeling.

I have never seen His Highness lose his composure like this before. His bloodshot eyes are scarier than a man-eating tiger. Ah Falcon was worried and ran out after him.

Qin Junyu returned to the East Palace at a brisk pace. On the way, the palace servants saw his crazy and murderous appearance and dared not greet him. They all lowered their heads and retreated far away.

East wing.

Qin Junyu kicked the door open.

"Bam—"

Zhihua stood up in fright, still holding the handkerchief she used to wipe Nian Susu's face.

"Dian...dian..."

Qin Junyu ran straight to the bed, but Zhihua blocked his way. He yelled, "Get out!"

Zhihua was so frightened that she almost fell to her knees. She retreated to a corner trembling, her eyes red, rubbing her lukewarm handkerchief, at a loss as to what to do.

Her young lady has known His Highness for such a long time, and has been married to the Eastern Palace for more than half a year, but Zhihua has never seen His Highness get so angry. Moreover, she did nothing, but was yelled at for no reason. Anyone would feel wronged.

Nian Susu flashed into the room and saw Zhihua running out crying. She didn't understand what was going on, and became even more confused when she saw Qin Junyu holding her "body".

Ah Falcon caught up with her and stopped Zhihua who was trying to run out. He asked breathlessly, "Zhihua, what happened?"

Zhihua turned her head away, covered her face with a handkerchief, and said with a sob, "I don't know." Then she pushed him away and ran away.

A Falcon:?

He walked into the room with a dazed look on his face, and the scene in front of him gave him a huge shock - His Highness was holding the Crown Princess and talking to her, but the Crown Princess was clearly in a coma.

"Lingling, wake up." Qin Junyu's gentle tone was like coaxing a child, rubbing her head and patting her back. "I don't want you to save me anymore. Can you open your eyes and look at me?"

His voice became choked, and he buried his head in her shoulder and sobbed for a long time. Nian Susu approached him and patted his back with her light hands. She could feel that he was very tired. He had endured a lot silently in the past half month. Both physically and mentally, he had reached his limit and completely exploded today.

Ah Shun felt bad seeing him so sad, and he silently retreated to the door with red eyes.

Qin Junyu put Nian Susu back on the bed and calmed down a lot.

You helped her fix her hair, covered her with the quilt, took her hand and gently rubbed it, "Lingling, tell me the truth, did you make a deal with someone to help me detoxify?"

Nian Susu's face was calm, and his usually rosy complexion looked a little pale today.

"I know there are some very accomplished Taoist priests who can use magic to save people, but they have to pay an equal price. Have you been deceived by them?"

"Are you exchanging your life for mine?"

There was a flash of disappointment in Qin Junyu's eyes. He knew that the person on the bed would not give him any response, but he still wanted to ask her.

When Qin Zehai mentioned his detoxification, he finally understood why Nian Susu suddenly fainted and never woke up again. The reason was him.

"A Falcon." He shouted in a high voice.

A Falcon was guarding the door and ran in immediately when he heard the sound.

"Do you remember how to cure my poison?"

Ah Falcon was stunned for a moment, not realizing why he was suddenly asked this question. After thinking for a while, he answered, "The Crown Princess met a quack doctor on the street who had saved Your Highness' life before. She got the antidote prescription from him, so she helped Your Highness to detoxify."

"Don't you think it's too coincidental?" Qin Junyu frowned.

Nian Susu wiped his sweat. Qin Junyu knew how to solve the problem, but he used the wrong formula. However, if he misunderstood that he was saving him by using the method of "trading life for life", it might not be a bad thing.

This would not only explain why she helped him detoxify at that time, but also make up for the fact that she was unconscious for so long, killing two birds with one stone.

Nian Susu suddenly came to his senses. If he misunderstood, then let him misunderstand.

Ah Falcon thought about it and was horrified: "Yes, Your Highness! This is too coincidental! The Crown Princess happened to meet the doctor on the last day and got the antidote!"

He shook his head, not denying his own statement, but saying that there was no need to say more. "I was too happy at the time and didn't think about the reasoning at all. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem that simple."

Qin Junyu exhaled heavily, "Go check who the Crown Princess met that day, and focus on checking the alchemists and Taoists who know ghost and god techniques."

A Falcon obeyed the order.

Qin Junyu was still unhappy. He felt even worse because Du Dingnian Susu sacrificed himself in order to save his life.

"Lingling, I'm sorry."

Nian Susu was in a heavy mood.

-

Axuan investigated many people and spent a lot of effort, but he couldn't find the so-called "quack doctor". Some servants in the East Palace even said that the Crown Princess didn't go out that day and stayed in the East Wing the whole day.

There were so many different opinions, and Qin Junyu didn't know which one to believe, so he had to rely on himself.

He began to read relevant information to learn about spiritualism and soul-changing techniques, but after a deeper understanding, he found that these techniques could not save people at all, but were an evil technique that allowed the dead to come back and see the living.

Even though it was a sorcery, he did not give up learning about it and studied it openly in the Yangxin Palace. He was seen by many ministers, and more than once.

Nian Chengyun asked for a meeting. Qin Junyu didn't want to see him at first, but considering that he was Nian Susu's father, he let him in.

The soft couches and screens in the hall had been removed, but Nian Chengyun saw that he had become even crazier. There were seven or eight books on the study of evil ways on the dragon desk.

The crown prince, the future emperor, actually believes in these things. How can he expect his subjects to obey him in the future?

The emperor is the supreme authority, and the belief in ghosts and gods is uncontrollable. Not only will it affect the emperor's status, it can also easily mislead people and cause chaos. Therefore, emperors have always banned the belief in ghosts and gods.

Nian Chengyun knew who he was talking to, so he couldn't say anything too harsh. He could only advise, "Your Highness, many ministers have reported that you are much slower in reviewing memorials than before, and you are lazy in your official duties."

He glanced at the things on the table, "Is it because of these?"

Qin Junyu didn't even raise his head, flipping through the pages one by one to find the content he wanted, his tone was flat and distant: "Master Nian, I was so busy in the past half month that I almost didn't sleep. I read memorials day and night. You said that I was overworked and asked me to balance work and rest and not to ruin my health."

"The memorials asking the prince to pay attention to his health are almost filling up the Yangxin Palace."

"Now I will listen to you and combine work and rest. Why are some people dissatisfied again and think that I am lazy? Could it be that the words of concern you said a while ago were all false?" Qin Junyu glanced at Nian Chengyun coldly.

Nian Chengyun looked at him in disbelief.
