Harem Daily Life

"What kind of poison is it? Is Ye'er in danger of his life?" Upon learning that someone had poisoned the eldest prince, the queen mother was furious.

Doctor Xu replied, "It appears to be a chronic poison, which seems to be diamond powder. It was probably mixed into the daily diet. The eldest prince is young and cannot bear such a large dose, so he vomited blood. If it were an adult, I'm afraid it would take some time for the disease to break out."

The Queen Mother glared at Eunuch Qin: "How did you manage such a big incident? Hurry up and interrogate all the people who usually take care of the eldest prince's food and daily life!"

Eunuch Qin didn't dare to breathe and hurried to get the person.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was extremely angry, Tao Yanyan hurriedly tried to calm her down while asking, "Doctor, is there any way to completely remove this poison?"

Doctor Xu nodded: "You need to induce vomiting. It will be fine after vomiting a few times. However, the eldest prince is young, his spleen and stomach will definitely be injured, and he needs to be taken care of."

Tao Yanyan asked Doctor Xu to prescribe emetic medicine. Looking at the eldest prince lying on the couch with a pale face, she frowned, thinking that the person who poisoned him was too powerful. He could even reach into Changchun Palace. She didn't know who was so powerful.

The prince was poisoned. Such a serious incident naturally had to be reported to the emperor.

When He Linzhang arrived, the eldest prince had already vomited once and was feeling uncomfortable.

"Have you checked everything? Where did the poison come from?" He Linzhang asked with a frown as he sat beside the eldest prince's bed.

Tao Yanyan shook his head: "Eunuch Qin went to investigate personally, and all the people around the eldest prince were arrested, but the source of the poison has not been found yet, and the person who poisoned it has not been found."

The sick eldest prince looked at Queen Tao weakly and said, "My mother was poisoned to death. I didn't expect that I would follow in her footsteps and be poisoned. I hope that you can care about me more and thoroughly investigate the harem to see who is so intolerable that you treat me like this."

Tao Yanyan listened to his words, feeling a little unhappy, as if he did not care about him and love him, which led to him being targeted by bad guys.

He Linzhang also felt that what He Ye said was not very pleasant to hear, so he took Tao Yanyan's hand and said to comfort her: "The children are still waiting for you, why don't you go back first, I will investigate this matter."

Tao Yanyan was naturally willing to let go. She was too lazy to get involved with such an ungrateful and scheming prince.

Tao Yanyan comforted the empress dowager with a few words before taking his people back to the palace. He thought it would be happier to go back and see his children at home.

"The Queen is finally back. The Fourth Prince has been crying for a long time. He is so sad that he can't see the Queen." The nurse brought the crying Yu Cheng over. Tao Yanyan took the little boy and held him in her arms: "Let the Queen take a look. Whose little crybaby is this? Why is he so fond of crying?"

There were still tears on Yu Cheng's face. When he finally saw his mother, his little mouth pouted, looking very aggrieved.

Who could have thought that when he woke up, he couldn't find his mother anywhere and he could only cry in panic.

Tao Yanyan held him and walked around, rocking him for a long time, and finally coaxed him into submission before handing him over to the wet nurse.

Yunuo is very well behaved. He sleeps when he is full and eats when he is full. At this moment, he is being teased by his brothers and sisters. He dances and says “ah-oh, ah-oh” from time to time.

Seeing that his precious daughter didn't need him, Tao Yanyan called Chang Tai into the study.

"Have there been any unusual incidents in the palaces recently?"

Chang Tai was stunned, thinking that the Queen would not ask for no reason, something must have happened.

So he pondered and replied carefully: "Reporting to the queen, since the three concubines in the palace had accidents, the palaces have calmed down a lot. Recently, it can be said that everything is calm and there has been no abnormality. If there is anything, Zhou Zhaoyi was embarrassed by Shu Fei twice, but the problem was not serious, so I did not report it."

Zhou Zhaoyi offended Shu Fei by speaking in Tao Yanyan's favor, and was troubled by Shu Fei. Tao Yanyan was not surprised at all.

"Let Mingyue send some gifts to Zhou Zhaoyi in two days to comfort her. Are all the others gone? Today, the eldest prince was poisoned."

Chang Tai was shocked and said, "The eldest prince was poisoned while living in Changchun Palace? Who is so bold?"

Tao Yanyan tapped the table lightly with one hand and thought of someone.

"Has Shu Fei behaved abnormally recently?"

Chang Tai hurriedly shook his head: "Apart from coming to pay respects to the Queen every day, Empress Shufei also goes to Cidu Hall to recite sutras. There is nothing unusual."

"She didn't go to Changchun Palace to pay respects?" Tao Yanyan looked at Chang Tai: "How long has it been since she went to Changchun Palace to pay respects?"

Shu Fei was the Empress Dowager's niece. In the past, she would go to Changchun Palace every now and then. It would seem strange if she didn't go for a long time.

Chang Tai suddenly recalled and said in a deep voice: "Speaking of which, since the eldest prince moved into Changchun Palace, Shu Fei has never paid a visit to him. I'm afraid it has been more than half a month."

Tao Yanyan pondered: "The eldest prince pushed the third prince into the water. Will Concubine Shu really let the eldest prince go?"

Chang Tai didn't dare to say much, he lowered his head silently.

If a concubine in the harem plotted to murder the prince, it would be a more serious crime than plotting to murder other concubines. At the very least, she would lose her life, and at the worst, her family would be implicated. Shu Fei was the niece of the empress dowager. If she really had evil intentions to murder the eldest prince, how would the empress dowager deal with it?

"Keep an eye on Yongning Palace. Apart from her, I really can't think of anyone else who would have any reason to murder the eldest prince." After Tao Yanyan gave the order, he waved his hand and Chang Tai went out.

In Yongning Palace, Shu Fei listened to Fu Xin's report without frowning.

"I didn't expect that the poison would take effect so quickly. It seems that the dosage was too much. What a pity. If I had known, I would have given him less and tortured him slowly." After Shu Fei finished speaking, she looked up at Fu Xin and asked, "Can the person you arranged be trusted?"

Fu Xin nodded: "He has been placed in Changchun Palace for many years and has only been officially used this time. Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if he dies, he will not confess."

Shu Fei was not as optimistic as Fu Xin, but even if the truth came out, she had a bargaining chip in her hand, and she was not afraid of the Queen Mother's questioning. As long as the Queen Mother protected herself, His Majesty would not pursue the matter, which was her confidence to kill the eldest prince at all costs.

In fact, she was lucky to have accidentally learned a secret of the Queen Mother. She would not use this secret to save her life unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Keep an eye on Changchun Palace, and think of a way to bring everything to Changle Palace." Shu Fei said, and she was ready to make a move. If she could turn the blame for the poisoning of the eldest prince onto Empress Tao, it would be perfect.

The eldest prince induced vomiting four or five times before he stopped vomiting blood. He Linzhang stayed by the eldest prince's side until he saw that his complexion had improved a little, and then he prepared to return to Changle Palace.

"Father, could you please stay and accompany me?" The eldest prince said with innocent eyes, "I have lost my mother, and now I only have father."
