Reborn, I am doing involution on Jinshan

Dongfang Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He said, "Alright, you all have a point. Dongfang Hao, you must return to Prince Gong's mansion immediately and visit the young princess on my behalf. Tell her not to be afraid. I will definitely find the mastermind behind this and give her justice. At the same time, remind your uncle to strengthen the palace's security to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

Dongfang Hao clasped his fists and accepted the order: "Yes, father. I will go back now." After that, he hurriedly left the hall, his heart full of concern for Xiao Ruiyue.

After Dongfang Hao left, the emperor looked at Dongfang Ye and Dongfang Yan and said, "Don't be idle, the rest of you. Dongfang Ye, go and secretly investigate the recent movements in the harem to see if there's anything unusual. Dongfang Yan, go and contact the reliable ministers in the court and inform them of this matter. Have them keep an eye out for anyone in the court trying to stir up trouble."

Dongfang Ye and Dongfang Yan responded in unison: "Yes, father."

"Everyone, please step back and take care of your own business."

The two men took their orders and left. The other giants also dispersed. Dongfang Huang sat alone in the hall, his brow furrowed. He knew that Xiao Ruiyue's poisoning was no accident and that there must be a huge conspiracy behind it.

This conspiracy not only threatens Xiao Ruiyue's life, but also concerns the stability of the entire Dongfang family and the Alexander family.

He tried to sow discord between the royal power and hoped to profit from it, with malicious intentions.

Dongfang Yu secretly vowed to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and make him pay a heavy price.

Arriving at Prince Gong's residence, Imperial Physician Shi and Dongfang Hao went straight to Xiao Ruiyue's boudoir. Caihong was wiping tears by the bed, and Sima Xiaotao was in a daze with a sad face. When they saw Dongfang Hao come in, they both stood up and saluted, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Dongfang Hao waved his hand and asked anxiously, "Xiao Caihong, how is the princess doing?"

Caihong sobbed and said, "Your Highness, the eldest lady is still unconscious. She just drank the medicine again, but there seems to be no improvement."

"It seems to be getting worse. Fortunately, the poison has not taken effect again." Imperial Physician Shi comforted them.

"Really? She was so motionless that I thought the young lady was about to die." Caihong burst into laughter.

Sima Xiaotao rolled her eyes at her and said, "What do you mean by 'deadly'? That's scary. Spit before you talk."

Dongfang Hao walked to the bedside and looked at Xiao Ruiyue's pale face, feeling distressed. He gently held Xiao Ruiyue's hand and whispered, "Xiao Ruiyue, you must get better soon. Everyone is waiting for you. I will definitely find the person who poisoned you and make them receive the punishment they deserve."

At this moment, the butler Zhao Ran hurried over and said, "Your Highness, I have just increased the security of the palace several times. All people and items entering and leaving have undergone strict inspection. In addition, I have also arranged for some reliable people to investigate the clues of poisoning, but there are no clues yet."

"Well, well done."

"If someone deliberately poisons someone, how can it be easily discovered? We don't even know how they poisoned us. What poison? Where was it poisoned? Oh! I don't know."

Knowing that the Crown Prince had arrived, Prince Gong Dongfanghuang rushed over from the West Courtyard and sighed. Following behind him was the court physician, Doctor Li.

Zhao Ran: "In this kind of thing, in the end, I'm afraid that a maid or servant will be pushed out to take the blame, and the mastermind will clear himself of all charges."

Dongfang Huang anxiously asked the imperial physician, "Imperial Physician Shi, is there any way to detoxify this?"

Imperial Physician Shi shook his head and stroked his beard: "The person who poisoned me probably didn't intend to kill the little princess. He was quite cunning in his poisoning."

Everyone frowned upon hearing this. It was like saying nothing at all.

Dongfang Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Since they didn't intend to kill the little princess, what was the purpose of the person who poisoned her? Could it be that they wanted to threaten Prince Gong or my father?"

"That's a good question. You can think. And you really deserve a beating." Sima Xiaotao gritted her teeth.

Dongfang Hao challenged: "Then tell me why?"

"I heard from the nanny at home that women are poisoned or drugged by men because they have something they desire. The little princess is even younger than me and will be married much sooner. Her greatest value should be inheriting the throne and having children... The enemy wants to deprive her of her right to reproduce." Sima Xiaotao was upset. "If the poison passes through the intestines, the consequences will be unimaginable. We must find a way to detoxify it."

Prince Gong Dongfanghuang nodded and said, "You are absolutely right, but it is difficult to guess who is behind this."

Doctor Li: "It's mainly for detoxification, Your Highness."

They are all going off topic. It's true that when you care too much, you become confused.

Imperial Physician Shi continued, "Judging from the current situation, we can only stabilize the toxins in the Lord's body first, and then slowly search for an antidote. However, this antidote... still requires time to research." He smiled wryly, "I will return and discuss a prescription with my colleagues."

Butler Zhao Ran respectfully escorted Imperial Physician Shi out of the house. A servant was injured, and Doctor Li was also urgently called away.

Dongfang Hao continued to stay by Xiao Ruiyue's bedside, not daring to leave for a moment. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Xiao Ruiyue would wake up soon, and also hoped that the investigation would yield results as soon as possible so that everything could return to normal...

Dongfang Huang paced back and forth in his daughter's room when suddenly his eyes lit up and he slapped his forehead: "How could I have forgotten such an important treasure?"

Three pairs of eyes looked at him at once. Dongfang Hao's heart moved, and he asked excitedly, "Uncle, do you have a solution?"

Dongfang Huang's face brightened up, and he said, "Xiao Yue'er, we should be saved. Hao'er, come with me."

"No, I'm too big a target. Someone else has to go get it back."

Dongfang Hao was full of doubts, but was also inspired by the hope

Wang urged, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle, what is the solution? What do you need me to do? Just tell me."

Dongfang Huang lowered his voice and said, "Hao'er, your aunt was truly foresighted. Did you know that hidden in the palace's underground secret chamber is a 'Nine-Turn Soul-Restoring Pill'? This pill was gifted to your aunt by the late emperor. It's said that there are only five in the world, and it has miraculous powers of bringing the dead back to life, detoxifying, and curing illness. However, it has been carefully kept secret, and few people know about it. Now that Xiaoyue'er has been poisoned, perhaps this pill can save her life."

Dongfang Hao's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. "Uncle, if that's the case, let's go get the elixir without further delay. I'll be careful and there won't be any mistakes."

Dongfang Huang thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "That's not appropriate. Your current status is very sensitive, and your every move is under scrutiny. If you go to the basement, there's no guarantee that the Third Prince and the others won't notice you, which could lead to complications and even worse consequences."

Dongfang Hao frowned and said anxiously, "What should we do? Little Ruiyue's condition can't be delayed. A day has already passed."

Dongfang Huang's eyes swept over everyone in the room, finally landing on Caihong. He said, "Caihong, you've followed Xiaoyue'er since you were a child and are loyal to her. Besides, you're petite and agile, so you won't attract attention. The important task of retrieving the elixir is now entrusted to you."

Caihong quickly knelt down and said firmly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Caihong will not fail in her mission. I will get the elixir to save the young lady even at the cost of my life."

Dongfang Huang helped Caihong up and said, "Good child, this matter is of great importance. You must be very careful. The secret room is surrounded by numerous traps. I will tell you how to break them right away. Also, after you take the elixir, you must return immediately without any delay."

He pointed out the window again and leaned in to whisper a few words.

Caihong carefully wrote down what Dongfang Huang said about how to crack the mechanism, and then quietly left under the instructions of Dongfang Huang and Dongfang Hao.

Dongfang Huang and the others could only wait anxiously in the room. Butler Zhao Ran returned and realized the seriousness of the situation: "Your Highness, shall I go and protect Xiaohong? She's still a child, and she can't push the stone door open. I'm the butler, so I won't arouse suspicion if I move around freely."

"Let him go." Dongfang Hao made a prompt decision.

Dongfang Huang looked out the window and said, "That person has left. Ah Ran, you can follow him now."

They immediately understood, and Dongfang Huang briefly explained his plan again. Zhao Ran nodded and quickly left.
