The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

"Your Highness..."

Su Yuan held her hand and comforted her in a gentle voice: "I have asked Wei Hu to go back and ask Wen Bo to come. Don't worry, your father-in-law will be fine."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Don't say thank you to me. You and I are husband and wife, and I should do anything for you."

Although the two have only been married for a short time, everyone knows that they have a good relationship.

Gu Lin was happy that his daughter married a good husband, and he only hoped that their relationship would remain as good in the future.

Didn't have to wait long.

Wen Bo was carried in by Wei Hulu. He stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, Imperial Concubine."

"Uncle Wen, come and see my dad!" Gu Yunyan grabbed his arm and pulled him to the bed.

Wen Bo carefully felt Gu Lin's pulse and looked at his face, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "It shouldn't be like this."

"What shouldn't I do?" Gu Yunyan asked hurriedly, "Can my father's illness be cured?"

"Although General Gu is seriously ill, the imperial physician should be able to cure him. He shouldn't be unable to cure even a fever."

Wen Bo paused for a moment and then continued.

"Don't worry, Princess. After taking my medicine, General Gu's fever will surely go down and he will be fully recovered in half a year."

Just in time.

The butler came in with a bowl of steaming medicine: "General, it's time for you to drink the medicine."

"Wait!" Wen Bo said seriously.

Everyone: "??"

Gu Yunyan's heart tightened: "Uncle Wen, is there something wrong with the medicine?"

"Doctor Wen, this is the prescription that several imperial physicians wrote after examining the general. I bought the herbs myself, and the general has been drinking it for several days."

The butler didn't say anything, but his eyes showed that there couldn't be anything wrong with the medicine.

Wen Bo said nothing.

He took the medicine bowl and sniffed it, then put his index finger in to dip a little and put it in his mouth to taste it, then his eyes widened.

"No wonder General Gu's fever won't go away. There's an extra medicine in it!"

Gu Yunyan trusted Wen Bo's words and immediately said to the butler, "Bring the prescription and the residue to show Wen Bo."

The butler dared not disobey and brought all the things in less than half a minute.

He was also smart enough to call over all the servants who handled the medicinal materials, boiled the medicines and delivered the medicines so that he could interrogate them at any time.

Wen Bo opened the medicine package and looked through the residue.

He shook his head and said, "The prescription, the herbs and the dregs are all fine, as long as there is poison in the boiled medicine."

The servant who was kneeling below and delivering the medicine suddenly changed his expression.

He stood up and rushed towards Wei Hu, aiming at the saber in his hand. Wei Hu waved his hand and kicked the servant away.

"There's something wrong with him, hold him down quickly!" Gu Yunyan ordered the guards.

The servant was no match for Su Yuan's guards and was captured and tied up tightly in no time.

Gu Yunyan asked angrily: "Tell me, who told you to poison Dad?"

The servant was also a coward, and after failing to die once, he didn't dare to seek death again. Especially when he caught a glimpse of the third prince's dark eyes, looking at him like a dead man.

When I think about the rumors I heard in the past, I feel so scared.

He kowtowed so hard that it made loud bangs, and blood oozed from his forehead: "Princess, please spare me! Your Highness, please spare me! It was because the eldest son threatened my family that I poisoned the general!"

Everyone present was shocked. They didn't expect to hear such a secret.

The servant continued, afraid that no one would believe what he said: "I know where the eldest master put the poison. I will take you to search, and you will definitely find it!"

Gu Yunyan looked at Gu Lin silently.

I wonder how she, as a father, feels when her only son does such a thing. Is she protecting him?

still......

Gu Lin didn't believe the servant's words, and in order to clear his son's name, he nodded and agreed to the search.

The butler followed Xiao Si and searched.

Gu Yunyan stood aside waiting, and admired Gu Wen's flustered look.

"Sister, what are you doing? Even if you are the third imperial concubine now, you cannot come back to your parents' home to show off and bully others." Gu Wenqiang pretended to be calm.

"What are you doing? You dared to drug Dad, what do you think I am doing here?"

"Nonsense!" He was a little panicked, staring at the butler and said, "Butler, don't you know who is the master of the Gu Mansion?"

"Get out!"

The chief steward said coldly: "The general has instructed that everything should be done according to the orders of the imperial concubine. This old servant is just following orders. If you have anything to say, please go and tell the general."

Gu Wen's face turned red with anger and he punched the bed.

"Princess, we've found the poison!" Wen Bo came out excitedly, holding up a white porcelain bottle. "That's what General Gu drank in his medicine!"

"That's why the fever couldn't go down and my health was getting worse and worse."

"If this continues, General Gu's health will collapse and he will have to spend the rest of his life lying in bed."

For a general who fights enemies bravely and fearlessly in battle.

Such a life is worse than death. He would rather die on the battlefield and be wrapped in his horse's hide than live a miserable life.

Gu Wen's palms were sweating and he put the blame on others.

"Big sister, I think you just hold a grudge. You resent that dad didn't find you, causing you to suffer for more than ten years."

"Now that you are married to the Third Prince and have power, you come back to the Gu family to sow discord between my father and me. You will be happy only if you can make the Gu family restless, right?"

Gu Yunyan sneered.

"The evidence is irrefutable. I will take you to my father and ask you to kneel down and confess. I will see how long you can keep your mouth shut."

She had everyone in Gu Wen's yard tied up and interrogated separately.

He then grabbed Gu Wen and brought him to the main courtyard, Gu Lin. Seeing that he had no intention of kneeling down to admit his fault, Su Yuan glanced at Wei Hu.

Wei Hu nodded and kicked him in the knee. He fell to his knees with a thud and screamed in pain.

"what--!!"

Humph, daring to disrespect the imperial concubine, this is the least of your punishment.

The interrogation ended quickly, and the butler came in with a stack of evidence and handed it to Gu Yunyan.

After Gu Yunyan read it, she let Su Yuan and the others read it.

Finally, Gu Lin held the evidence, his hands trembling, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his tiger eyes again and shouted: "Evil son! Unfilial son!"

"You hired someone to kill my eldest sister, you poisoned her, and now you're poisoning me."

"Well done, you are really well done! You are indeed the son born by Su Qin, and you are as vicious as she is! You are an ungrateful bastard!"

"Come here, drag him out and give him twenty lashes of the board, and lock him up in the ancestral hall. No one is allowed to let him out without my order!"

Gu Wen was dragged away before he could even argue.

After a while, the sound of a board hitting flesh was heard outside, accompanied by Gu Wen's screams, and it was quite rhythmic.

Gu Yunyan and Su Yuan both curled their lips secretly and smiled.

Dong Yue, Wei Hu, Wei Lu and others saw it clearly and thought to themselves that His Highness and the Imperial Concubine really had a tacit understanding.

Gu Lin was very angry.

He was just overwhelmed by anger and managed to deal with Gu Wen with just one breath, but now he collapsed completely powerless.

Gu Yunyan's face was full of concern: "Dad, you should take a good rest and don't get angry. It's not good for your health."

"Well, Dad will listen to you."
