Reborn, I am doing involution on Jinshan

The imperial physician gave a few more instructions before taking his leave. Dongfang Huang watched the imperial physician Shi's retreating figure, his eyes filled with gloom. "Whoever dared to poison my Yue'er, I will make him pay a heavy price!"

After returning to the mansion, Dongfang Huang went straight to Xiao Ruiyue's boudoir. Seeing his daughter lying unconscious on the bed, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Seeing Cui and the child pretending to pray, his heart was instantly filled with anger.

Trying to adjust his mood, he said, "Alright, don't you see the princess needs a rest? You guys should go back to study."

"Xing'er, how are you doing with your homework? Don't slack off! Study hard and repay your country in the future, okay?"

The second son, Dongfang Zhuoxing, said timidly, "Father, I didn't. I did the homework assigned by the Grand Tutor."

"Every day, no one of you gives me peace of mind. Come on, I'll take you back."

Dongfang Huang personally watched them return to the North Courtyard and checked the children's homework. Cui thought it was a surprise inspection and praised her eldest son enthusiastically.

Dongfang Huang hummed softly, "Not bad, keep it up. I mixed up the characters Huang and Mo, practice 50 times each."

He then looked at his youngest son's calligraphy, which looked like it was chewed by a dog, some of which was illegible, and crumpled it into a ball of waste paper without blaming him.

He opened the textbook and said, "Xing'er, the character '田' in '黄' means '穿出', and the character '莫' is written as '目'."

Dongfang Zhuoxing understood and nodded: "Yeah, I'll remember it."

"Don't be careless. Be more careful next time." He patted his son's shoulder.

Looking at Cui, his eyes widened again. "How can you be a mother? Some characters written incorrectly can lead to death. Check it carefully after you finish it. If a child is not taught well, it is the mother's fault."

When Cui heard this, the smile on her face froze instantly, but she still quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will make sure he practices well and checks carefully."

Dongfang Zhuoxing also lowered his head, not daring to say a word. When Dongfang Huang finished his examination and turned to leave, Cui hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to say, "Your Highness, I wonder how the princess's condition is?"

Dongfang Huang stopped and gave her a cold look: "I will take care of it myself. You should worry more about your son's schoolwork and don't cause trouble for me."

Cui was frightened by this look and lowered her head quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Dongfang Huang glanced coldly at Mingzhu, the concubine who had remained silent, and walked away.

He was too lazy to educate her, as she was about to become an abandoned child. Prince Gong's residence only needed useful people.

Dongfang Huang left the North Courtyard, his suspicions growing. He knew the poison had most likely been administered by someone in the mansion, but who on earth was so bold as to attack his beloved daughter?

It hadn't been 48 hours since her daughter came home. Who was so anxious to kill her daughter?

After the Cui family left, Sima Xiaotao emerged. She stood by the bed, her face filled with anxiety. Seeing Dongfang Huang rushing back, she quickly stood up and asked, "Your Highness, what did Imperial Physician Shi say? How is Little Ruiyue doing?"

Dongfang Huang told Sima Xiaotao exactly what Imperial Physician Shi had said. Sima Xiaotao's face changed after hearing it. "Someone actually poisoned Xiao Ruiyue! How abhorrent! Your Highness, don't worry. I will work with Commander Du Zhenhai to find the mastermind as soon as possible."

Dongfang Huang nodded slightly and said, "Now that Yue'er has been poisoned, rescuing my son is imminent, and I also have to deal with the useless mother and daughter. I am really overwhelmed. Xiaotao, I am afraid I will have to rely more on you for the next rescue. You have a smaller target and better skills, so I really need your help on some things."

Sima Xiaotao said firmly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Rescuing the eldest prince is my unshirkable responsibility, and I will do my utmost. However, you must also take good care of little Ruiyue. I believe that Imperial Physician Shi will be able to find an antidote, and little Ruiyue will be fine."

Dongfang Huang looked at Xiao Ruiyue, his eyes filled with love and worry. "I hope so. I have already asked Zhao Ran to strengthen the security in the palace and arranged for people to investigate the person who poisoned her. However, the poison came in a strange way, and I wonder what other plots the other party may have."

"A Yue has been sleepy since she came back. She was never like this before. I thought it was very abnormal. I didn't expect that she was poisoned." Sima Xiaotao muttered.

As the two were talking, Caihong came in with the boiled medicine: "Your Highness, the medicine is ready."

Dongfang Huang said, "Caihong, put the medicine down first. You heard it too, the princess has been poisoned. I don't know which bastard did it. From now on, all matters concerning the princess will be your personal responsibility. You must ensure that nothing goes wrong. There will be a generous reward later."

Caihong, with tears in her eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness. Caihong will definitely take good care of the young lady."

"I'll send two more skilled guards to guard the East Courtyard. You can just focus on taking care of the princess."

"Yes, I understand."

Dongfang Huang and Xiao Tao watched Caihong feed the medicine to Xiao Ruiyue, silently praying that Xiao Ruiyue would wake up soon. They also hoped to uncover the true identity of the person who poisoned her as soon as possible and thwart his conspiracy...

Meanwhile, in the Second Prince's residence, Dongfang Ye and Dongfang Ran were discussing their next plan. The Fourth Prince said with a smug look on his face, "I didn't expect that demon to be so powerful, having quietly poisoned Princess Ruiyue. Prince Gong's residence must be in chaos now. Let's see how they can rescue the eldest prince, Alexander."

Dongfang Ye smiled slightly, a sinister look flashing in his eyes. "Your Highness, this is a brilliant move. However, we cannot let our guard down. Dongfang Hao and Prince Gong will definitely not give up. We need to continue planning to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Fourth brother, are you afraid of being in this conspiracy with me? If you are, you can withdraw now. I won't say a word to anyone."

The two of them were actually born to the same mother, and both did things that would cost them their lives, but he still had some conscience.

"Brother, I've already thought of a way out. Just be yourself and don't let Mother down."

Dongfang Ye nodded and said, "Well, you are right. So what should we do next?"

Dongfang Ran took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom, moved closer to Dongfang Ye, and whispered something in his ear. A sinister smile appeared on his face...

After finishing his official business, Dongfang Hao skipped lunch and planned to set off for Prince Gong's residence. He was really worried about Xiao Ruiyue. From yesterday's family dinner, it was clear that everyone wanted to win over the princess, and their goal was to get the military power in her father's hands.

But the palace sent a young eunuch to summon the prince, who had to go to the palace immediately to discuss important matters.

"De Xing, do you know why you are summoned?" He put down the dagger in his hand irritably. Little De Xing looked at the sharp dagger in his hand, as if he didn't see it.

He shook his head and said, "I only know that all the princes have to go to the palace to meet the emperor. I guess it is related to the assassination attempt yesterday." He hinted tactfully.

As a person of the same age and a prince, he had already recognized this future prince in his heart, so he spoke without any burden.

Dongfang Hao was a top student in terms of intelligence, height, and knowledge. The head eunuch also intended to cultivate him to be his successor, and he was basically the one running the line for the crown prince.

"What a coincidence, I can't go to Prince Gong's Mansion again." Dongfang Hao complained, but he was secretly looking at the little eunuch from the corner of his eyes.

Xiao Dexing consoled him, "Prince, the meeting may be over soon. You can visit the princess later. We should hurry to the palace. It would be inappropriate to keep the emperor waiting too long."

"Well, let's go then!"
