It was Rong Xun who was standing at the door. He dismissed the servants, entered the room and closed the door. He only took a few steps forward without making a sound, just wanting to see when they would notice.

An Yan took a quick glance while picking up some food, then put down her chopsticks in surprise. She wiped her greasy hands and quickly threw herself into Rong Xun's arms. "Rongrong! You look a little pale, and you seem to be lacking in energy and blood. Are you feeling well?"

"It's okay, just help me recuperate." The aggrieved look on Rong Xun's face disappeared instantly, and he smiled happily.

"Daddy!" Tuanzi also rushed towards him, but Rong Xun poked him on the forehead with a finger, keeping him at a distance.

Tuanzi said aggrievedly: "Daddy, don't you miss me?"

Rong Xun said unhappily, "You want to rub the oil on me?"

Tuanzi looked down at his greasy hands still clutching the roasted leg of lamb and grinned, "Daddy, eat!"

There were already three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. An Yan pulled Rong Xun over to sit down and handed him chopsticks. "You haven't eaten yet, right? The roasted lamb legs in this restaurant are especially delicious. Come and try it!"

That's right, he left the palace early in the morning and didn't even have time to have lunch! He took a bite and it tasted really good. He had lived in the deep palace for so long that he was almost tired of the imperial chef's cooking.

After eating and drinking, it’s time to get down to business.

Rong Xun held out his wrist, and An Yan took his pulse, quickly frowning. "Your pulse doesn't seem to indicate a congenital deficiency, but rather a poison. How strange, two kinds of poison, to boot? Tuanzi, come and test your father to see if I'm not a skilled practitioner and made a mistake."

"Alright!" Tuanzi came over quickly and started the intelligent scan. Within ten seconds, the results were out. "Mom is right. Dad has two poisons in his body. One is the 'Ice Condensed Fat' he brought from the womb, and the other is a chronic 'Sunset Drunk' acquired later in life."

"The symptoms of Bing Ningzhi are cold air invading the heart, affecting blood circulation, causing the limbs to gradually weaken, turning one into a living corpse. The symptoms of Xi Yanzui are a loss of both Qi and blood, constant fatigue, and an inability to sleep, which only worsens fatigue. This vicious cycle leads to neurasthenia, which can lead to madness at best and death at worst."

"Their poisons can somewhat offset each other, and currently maintain a terrifying balance. If, in a while, Xi Yanzui accumulates more and overwhelms the other, I'm afraid Daddy's body won't be able to hold on."

An Yan slammed the table and stood up, furious. "Who dares to poison you?"

Rong Xun narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtful, and comforted her: "I think I know who did it. Don't worry, I will make them pay the price."

"Tuanzi, exchange for the universal detoxification pill."

"Yes!" A small black pill appeared in Tuanzi's palm.

An Yan held Rong Xun's hand and said, "Although I have the ability to detoxify you, it will take some time. I cannot allow you to have any accidents. Detoxify first."

"Okay." Rong Xun swallowed the pill with water, felt a dull pain in his chest, and then spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The black blood immediately condensed into ice crystals.

After Rong Xun finished vomiting, he felt as if he had broken through some shackles. He felt relaxed, refreshed, and powerful.

An Yan exchanged it for a blood jade ring and injected a trace of spiritual energy into it. "When you wear this ring, if you encounter anything harmful to you again, it will warn you."

Rong Xun obediently agreed and stretched out his left hand in front of An Yan. His fingers were green and slender, with distinct joints, and looked very beautiful. An Yan put the ring on his ring finger.

Rong Xun smiled sweetly, "I will protect myself. By the way, what is your mission in this life? Do you need my help?"

"Yes, of course!" An Yan roughly recounted the grudge between her and Bai Yingxin. "In the early days, she relied on Wushang. After arriving in the capital, she established connections with the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister. She also has a past relationship with Prince Jing'an."

An Yan showed a dangerous smile, "So I thought, if I want her to die, I have to cut off all her support first. Especially after knowing your identity, please cooperate, Your Highness!"

The Prime Minister was extremely powerful and had many followers, and he had done a lot of clique-based activities for personal gain. Prince Jing'an married the daughter of a general guarding the border, and he had the intention of raising an army to rebel.

As the crown prince, Rong Xun wanted to control the government, so he had to get rid of these two people and their followers.

Rong Xun sighed, "Actually, I don't want to be emperor. I'd rather travel the world with you. But my father only has two children, Rong Zhi and me. If he were to take the throne, I'm afraid there would be no way for me to survive."

"Who is Rong Zhi?"

"He is the eldest prince, born to Consort Wang, the wife of the Prime Minister. He is seven years older than me. My father had few children, and before I was born, he was almost everyone's favorite. Unfortunately, I am the legitimate son of the Empress Dowager, naturally more legitimate than him. His fantasy of staying with the Wang family was shattered."

"So the poison you were poisoned with was most likely done by the Wang family?"

Rong Xun nodded, "It's about right."

An Yan suppressed her anger and said, "In that case, let's destroy the King of Tianliang!"

It felt really good to have someone's support, and Rong Xun was as obedient as a little lamb. "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Rong Xun seemed to have thought of something, "Grandmother's health hasn't been good recently. Tuanzi just mentioned Xi Yanzui's symptoms, which are somewhat similar."

An Yan recalled, "In my previous life, the Empress Dowager was seriously ill. The Imperial Hospital was unable to treat her, so the Emperor issued an imperial decree, summoning local doctors to treat her. That time seemed to be half a year later."

Tuanzi interjected, "Xi Yanzui's incubation period is about a year."

"The Empress Dowager has always been kind and loving. Why would someone poison her?" Rong Xun couldn't understand.

"In that case, why don't you introduce me to the palace and let me examine the empress dowager so that I can see the situation." An Yan suggested.

"Just to my liking."

After a short rest, Rong Xun returned to the palace. The detoxification process needed to be arranged as soon as possible. Once the Empress Dowager recovered, Yanyan would have a strong backer.

Rong Xun went straight to the Cining Palace and shouted as soon as he entered: "Grandson pays his respects to the Empress Dowager!"

The Queen Mother smiled kindly and beckoned him over, "Xun'er, you're back? Did you have a good time out today?"

"Of course it's good!" Rong Xun approached the Empress Dowager and asked, "Grandmother, do you feel any difference in your grandson today?"

"Oh?" The Queen Mother looked at him carefully and cooperatively. "What good news has happened to you? Your face is beaming."

Rong Xun didn't keep it a secret, "My grandson left the palace for the Little Medical Fairy from Wushang Valley. She treated my grandson, and you see, my grandson is completely different now!"

The Queen Mother nodded repeatedly, saying with relief, "That's good. Your health was so poor that I, your father, and your mother were all very worried. Now you're all better! That little medical immortal is truly capable. You must reward him well."

Rong Xun chuckled, "Grandmother, I'm thinking of having her come into the palace to treat your health. Is that okay with you?"
