There was black blood on the corner of Lu Ruoyi's mouth, and he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. "I'm poisoned? How come I didn't know?"

Wen Qian replied, "My Lady, I have taken your pulse. You have indeed been poisoned by a chronic poison, and it has been some time."

"What? Impossible!"

"Really, Madam, can you recall what medicine you have taken recently?"

"I'm in good health and have never taken any medicine..."

Lu Ruoyi's heart moved. No, she was wrong. She had been taking medicine all the time. Every time she had sex with the Crown Prince or the Fourth Prince, she would take a contraceptive pill. The Fourth Prince had someone refine this pill for her, saying it would cause minimal harm to her body. Could there be something wrong with this pill? No way!

No, nothing is impossible. The Fourth Prince just lied to her about the dragon robe, so it is possible that he lied to her about the pills.

A chill rose from his heart, Lu Ruoyi felt a pain in his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"My queen, how are you? Doctor, please save our queen!"

Wen Qian gave Lu Ruoyi a few more injections and said, "Recall what the queen has eaten and tell me everything, so that I can prescribe the right medicine."

"This...our queen has always been very careful about what she eats and has never eaten anything unclean!"

Lu Ruoyi's heart went cold. She already knew that the problem was the pill that the Fourth Prince gave her. He also said that he would take her to live with him after this matter was over. It was all a lie! After using her, he would poison her to death! No, the poison had already been given before he used her!

Unspeakable sadness swept over Lu Ruoyi and drowned her completely.

She knew that she was not a good person and she had no conscience towards many people, but she was sincere to the Fourth Prince. She gave him all her love and enthusiasm. How could he let her down like this!

Two lines of tears flowed silently and fell into the pillow. Lu Ruoyi looked at the apricot curtains and felt that the past twenty years had been a joke, a huge joke.

At this point, there is no way forward. There is no chance to turn back, and all we can do is let it be.

Lu Ruoyi smiled bitterly, "Doctor, please suppress the poison in my body. I will look for clues in the next two days."

"Yes, ma'am."

"When the prince asks, please help me conceal it, doctor. I will tell the prince myself later."

"Yes."

Anyway, the prince already knew that it was he who called Wen Qian here, so it didn't matter whether he said it or not.

Wen Qian gave Lu Ruoyi an acupuncture every half an hour and prescribed her some medicine to temporarily suppress the poison in her body.

Two days later, Lu Ruoyi's health improved a little, and Wen Qian returned home temporarily.

Among them, the prince came to see Lu Ruoyi several times. His attitude was still gentle, but in the depths of his eyes, there was an uncontrollable storm.

Lu Ruoyi half leaned against the head of the bed, "Qingyin, where is that dress?"

Qingyin knew she was asking about the dragon robe, "Your Majesty, I have already burned it."

Lu Ruoyi was a little stunned. "It's better to burn it. It's better to burn it."

But in just two days, she felt like two or three years had passed. The flesh on her face had all fallen off, and she was left with skin covering her bones, which was very horrifying.

At this moment, a voice sounded quietly from outside the door, "My Queen, is Your Majesty here?"

Lu Ruoyi's eyes became crazy, and her head ached. She wanted to kill the man outside with her own hands, but she had to endure it, "Come in."

Zi Ning walked in, "Madam, I heard you were sick?"

"What's the matter?"

Zi Ning curled her lips and said, "The Fourth Prince said, have you finished that matter?"

Lu Ruoyi suddenly smiled. "Tell the Fourth Prince that I've run into some trouble and need to discuss something with him. Ask him to meet at the usual place tomorrow at 9:00 PM."

"Ok."

Zi Ning went out unwillingly. Lu Ruoyi covered his mouth and coughed violently. When he opened his hand again, his palm was covered with blood.

Qingyin and Lianxin both cried out in pain, "My Queen!"

"My queen!"

"Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet! Go prepare some bath water for me. I want to take a good bath."

Qingyin said, "Don't talk about that now. What did you eat? Tell the doctor right away and ask her to save you!"

"what did you eat?"

Lu Ruoyi suddenly laughed out loud, "I said I regretted taking the medicine, can the doctor cure it?"

"My lady..."

"No need to say more, go and get ready."

Qingyin and Lianxin had no choice but to help Lu Ruoyi take a bath and dry his hair. They didn't rest until almost midnight.

The sky outside was already full of stars. Qingyin and Lianxin were so tired that they fell into a deep sleep. Lu Ruoyi couldn't sleep, so she sat in front of the dressing table and packed her things.

She took the pill out of the secret box in her dressing case and sniffed it close to her nose. It had a strong medicinal aroma. She had been taking this pill since she married the prince. The Fourth Prince said that it contained good medicine and would definitely not harm her body, so she could rest assured.

She was very confident and put herself in the hands of the Fourth Prince without hesitation, allowing him to hurt her. How stupid she was!

Lu Ruoyi picked up one and put it into the sachet.

She opened the jewelry box again and reached the bottom layer. There was also a secret box inside. When she opened it, she found a poisoned dagger inside. This was the dagger that her father had handed to her personally when she came here.

My father said that survival in the palace is not easy. If you encounter a crisis that may affect the family, you should use this dagger yourself. It is guaranteed to be fatal.

When his father said this to Lu Ruoyi, Lu Ruoyi was very angry. Why should I die just because I have implicated the family? I won't!

Now, she smiled bitterly. Her father was right. She had taken the wrong path, bringing trouble upon her family. Diing alone was the best option. But why? Even if she died, she had to take a few people with her to be buried with her!

Lu Ruoyi hid the dagger under his pillow, lay back on the bed and closed his eyes.

The next day, Qingyin and Lianxin woke her up. She applied a thick layer of powder on her face to cover her pale complexion. After applying rouge, she looked a little more healthy.

The prince came and asked, "Yier, do you want to go out?"

"Yes, Your Highness, I'm feeling a bit bored lying down. I'm going out for a walk."

The prince looked at Lu Ruoyi for a while and said, "Come back soon."

"it is good."

Lu Ruoyi got on the carriage and when she reached the gate, she said, "Call Zining over."

"Yes, ma'am."

After a while, Zining came. She was very proud of Lu Ruyi's understanding, and her chin was almost raised to the sky.

The prince stared at their backs, his face showing the calm before the storm, "Prepare the car."

"Yes."
