It does not cause a person to fall into a coma during the moment when mania is raging.

Instead, it will feel like an unstoppable flame of destruction is ignited in your heart, wanting to destroy everything around you.

Looking back on the past, the thrilling scene on the wedding night is still vivid in my mind.

Driven by mania, Shen Yunheng almost strangled Meng Tingyue to death.

When Meng Tingyue heard that the prince was in a coma for some reason and was hurriedly sent to the palace, her heart was filled with ominous premonitions.

She thought Shen Yunheng was poisoned or had some other illness, so he hurried into the house.

However, the Queen said that Shen Yunheng ordered the people around him to knock him unconscious as soon as he had a manic attack.

Ling Xiao and the others didn't dare to fight, and in the end it was the experienced doctor in the military camp who knocked him unconscious with a silver needle.

When Meng Tingyue carefully examined Shen Yunheng's pulse just now, she did not detect any signs of poisoning.

Now, after hearing the queen say this, the fire of anxiety that had been ignited in him for no reason quietly died down.

She lightly tapped several acupuncture points on Shen Yunheng's body with silver needles, and then Shen Yunheng slowly opened his eyes.

Shen Yunheng frowned, his eyes gradually focused. After seeing the two people standing beside the bed, scattered fragments of memory began to piece together and slowly returned to his mind.

He slowly sat up, his voice filled with a hint of calmness and self-blame: "Have I lost control and hurt innocent people?"

Seeing this, the Queen gently gestured to Ling Xiao to step forward and answer on her behalf.

Ling Xiao stepped forward and reported respectfully, "Your Highness, the doctor in the barracks used a silver needle to temporarily put Your Highness to sleep, to prevent Your Highness from accidentally hurting others while unconscious. Therefore, Your Highness did not cause any harm."

Hearing this, Shen Yunheng's expression gradually relaxed. His eyes turned slightly, and the surrounding furnishings came into view one by one. He already knew in his heart that this was undoubtedly the Eastern Palace.

"How come I am in the palace?" There was a hint of confusion in his words.

Upon hearing this, the Queen's face flashed with a hint of reproach, and her tone was filled with a hint of anger. "How dare you ask? Wu Yuan fell ill in the barracks and fell unconscious. I was terrified. And Ting Yue, as soon as she returned to the city, heard about this and hurried to the palace."

"Tell me why you suddenly started drinking?" The queen's eyes were full of inquiry.

Meng Tingyue also looked at him expectantly, waiting for his explanation.

Shen Yunheng had never expected that they would know about his drinking. He frowned slightly and instinctively cast a questioning look at Ling Xiao.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao hurriedly shook his head in panic.

Meng Tingyue said softly, "You don't need to blame Ling Xiao. I smelled a faint aroma of alcohol on you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunheng simply said, "I've been so busy with official duties lately that I've been feeling depressed, so I couldn't help but have a few drinks."

Meng Tingyue stared at Shen Yunheng, a thin layer of frost condensing in her eyes, and reminded him: "Your Highness, do you still remember what promise you made to me that day?"

When Shen Yunheng heard this, the agreement they had made that day quickly emerged in his mind. He lowered his eyes and nodded slightly, "I remember."

"Since Your Highness knows the situation, why don't you take care of your body? Doesn't Your Highness care about your own well-being? Do you know that once you feel unwell, the Empress' heart will be as painful as a knife?" Meng Tingyue's brows were twisted into a knot, and there was a hint of blame and concern in her words.

The Queen, standing aside, took over the conversation at the right moment, her eyes full of pity, "Yes, besides me, Tingyue's heart is also hanging in the air."

Hearing the Queen's voice, Meng Tingyue slowly came back to her senses and suppressed the irritation in her heart. She didn't know why she got angry. The man in front of her was the crown prince, and she dared to question him, and in front of the Queen.

She was so bold that she forgot her status and etiquette.

Meng Tingyue breathed in and out gently, as if trying to expel all the depression in her chest.

Then, her voice was soft yet firm as she slowly spoke, "As a doctor, what I hate most is people like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who don't take care of their own health."

Shen Yunheng's dark eyes were deep and fixed on Meng Tingyue. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was not satisfied with her answer.

But considering the Queen was beside him, Shen Yunheng could only suppress his displeasure, gently pursed his thin lips, and said lightly: "I won't do that again."

Meng Tingyue's face was cold, and her eyes seemed to contain thousands of thoughts, but it was impossible to tell whether she was truly convinced.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was as cold as icicles frozen in winter, chilling.

Seeing this, the queen couldn't help but feel extremely anxious. She cast reproachful glances at Shen Yunheng with her phoenix eyes, hating him for being unromantic.

She secretly complained in her heart: How could this child be so dull? He doesn't know how to say sweet words. He doesn't even know how to comfort his wife when she is angry. If he were not her own son, but her own son-in-law, she would definitely scold him a few times to teach him a lesson.

However, despite the anger, as an elder, she also needs to step in at the right time to mediate this somewhat stiff atmosphere.

She gently held Meng Tingyue's hand, her voice as soft as a spring breeze: "Tingyue, don't blame him entirely. He is worried about going to Jiangnan next month and wants to finish the official business at hand as soon as possible."

"This way, I can escort Prince Qing to seek medical treatment, and I can also take the opportunity to go to Jiangnan with you and enjoy some leisure time."

"Because of his anxiety, he neglected his promise to you. If this happens again, you can rebuke him or even give him a small punishment."

"If he still has that cold expression and refuses to bow, then come to me in the palace. I will talk to him with you and see if he dares to be so stubborn again."

Having said this, the queen gently held Meng Tingyue's hand and patted Shen Yunheng twice.

However, Shen Yunheng seemed to be out of the matter, his eyes fixed on Meng Tingyue, without any words or reaction.

Seeing this, the queen's feeling of disappointment in her husband became even stronger. She involuntarily increased her strength and, using Meng Tingyue's hand, patted Shen Yunheng twice, her eyes full of helplessness.

Meng Tingyue watched this series of actions, and her mind was as clear as a mirror.

The current emperor is not in particularly good health. In his previous life, the emperor collapsed shortly after Shen Yunheng's accident.

Despite the best efforts of the imperial physicians, the emperor still managed to hold on for two years until the new crown prince was chosen, and then he passed away peacefully.

As the crown prince, Shen Yunheng will ascend the throne sooner or later. The emperor has begun to entrust him with all the complicated and trivial matters in the court.

He now has the heavy burden of state affairs on his shoulders, and it is not easy to squeeze out time from his busy schedule to prepare for his trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

After thinking it through, Meng Tingyue felt much relieved.
