My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

Time passed quietly amid laughter and joy, and in the blink of an eye, three rounds of drinks had been over. The emperor was in a particularly happy mood at this time. He stood up excitedly, holding high an exquisite and luxurious wine glass in his hand.

He smiled, surveying the assembled crowd. Then, in a resonant and commanding voice, he declared, "Today's celebration banquet is, firstly, to honor General Gu and all the brave and fearless soldiers for their remarkable military exploits. Secondly, it is to allow the subjects of our great dynasty to share in the joy of this hard-earned victory. With so many loyal and courageous men in our dynasty, why should we worry about the stability of our nation? Why should we worry about the unrest of the common people? Come, come, my dear ministers, quickly join me in drinking this cup. I wish our Great Zhao prosperity and our soldiers everlasting bravery and invincibility!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor raised his head and drank the wine in the cup without hesitation.

Seeing this, everyone present stood up and responded, raising their glasses in unison and shouting "Long live the emperor", and then imitated the emperor and drank the wine in the glass.

For a moment, the entire hall was filled with a cheerful and warm atmosphere, and everyone's face was filled with happy and satisfied smiles.

Gu Jinxuan also stood up, holding the cup in both hands. He looked around at everyone with a determined gaze and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has shown us your great favor and allowed us to fight on the battlefield. It is our duty to defend our country. This honor today belongs to every soldier who fought so bravely. I thank Your Majesty on their behalf!"

After saying this, he poured the wine on the ground to pay tribute to the hero. This action made many generals present moisten their eyes and filled their hearts with lofty sentiments and ambitions.

As the melodious dance music temporarily stopped, a group of eunuchs in uniform came in one after another in an orderly manner like a well-trained school of fish.

In their hands, they held up the exquisite trays steadily, which were filled with plates of mouth-watering delicacies. The tempting aroma of these delicacies instantly filled the entire palace, making people's appetites grow.

Just as everyone was happily preparing to pick up their chopsticks to enjoy the sumptuous banquet, the palace maids standing by and serving quickly took action.

They skillfully and gracefully filled each guest's glass with wine, and soon everyone's glass was full.

At this moment, the hall was bustling with people. People raised their glasses to toast each other and happily talked about various topics.

Laughter and joyful cheers rang out one after another, and the atmosphere was cordial and harmonious, which was completely different from the fierce debates among scholars in the court on ordinary days.

However, after drinking a few glasses of fragrant wine, Gu Jinxuan, who was sitting at the table, suddenly felt something strange.

At first, there was just a slight surge of inexplicable heat in his lower abdomen, but soon the heat spread rapidly like a prairie fire, making his whole body hot and his heartbeat accelerated.

With his keen intuition and years of experience, Gu Jinxuan immediately realized that he had accidentally been drugged!

Although his body had begun to show abnormal reactions, Gu Jinxuan still endured the discomfort and tried to maintain a clear mind. He looked around calmly, carefully observing the expressions and actions of everyone present.

But what puzzled him was that the expressions of the people around him looked very normal, without revealing any flaws or suspicious points, so that he had no idea who had secretly harmed him.

After a little thought, Gu Jinxuan slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, then stood up and walked towards Princess Anyang.

When he arrived in front of Princess Anyang, he lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "Mother, something bad has happened. Someone has drugged me. Please take me home quickly."

Upon hearing this, Princess Anyang, who was originally chatting and laughing with the people around her, suddenly changed her expression and revealed an expression of surprise that was difficult to conceal.

She could never have imagined that even though she had repeatedly warned Gu Jinxuan to be careful, he still fell into someone else's trap and was so easily tricked.

"Okay!" Princess Anyang agreed without even thinking about it.

Then, she quickly turned her head and cast her gaze towards the Empress Dowager, who had already heard their conversation. She opened her red lips and said in a low voice, "Mother, Jinxuan's condition is extremely critical. This matter must not be taken lightly. I must take him to the imperial physician immediately. In my opinion, he may not be able to hold on for much longer."

When the Queen Mother heard this, the expression on her face instantly became solemn and serious. This winner who had gone through many hardships and emerged from the previous court struggle would naturally not be a kind-hearted or stupid person.

Otherwise, how could she successfully raise a pair of children and help her son ascend the throne?

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, then after a moment's thought, she spoke calmly, "Don't worry, Anyang. First, take Jinxuan to your former palace and settle him down. At the same time, arrange for your men to quickly find the imperial physician. This way, we can move more quickly."

"Yes, mother, you are absolutely right," Princess Anyang knew that what the Queen Mother said made sense, so she stopped refusing.

She quickly winked at the maid beside her, who understood and immediately left quickly, rushing to the Imperial Hospital to call for the imperial physician.

At the same time, Princess Anyang sent another attendant to quickly report to the emperor that Gu Jinxuan had been poisoned.

After everything was arranged, Princess Anyang did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately took Gu Jinxuan and hurried towards the palace where she used to live.

However, as the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly. Before the poor mother and son had completed half the journey, Gu Jinxuan could no longer hold on.

At this moment, Gu Jinxuan's face was flushed, his eyes were blurred and dazed, his hands were pulling his collar weakly, and he kept muttering, "It's hot... It's so hot..." He looked very uncomfortable.

Princess Anyang was extremely anxious, but she was helpless and could only watch her son in such pain with worry.

She knew very well that if Gu Jinxuan continued to stay here, he might cause a joke due to exhaustion.

So, Princess Anyang gritted her teeth and used all her strength to grab Gu Jinxuan, dragging him forward with difficulty towards her former palace.

At this moment, as if it was God's will, the God of Luck quietly descended and favored them who were in trouble.

Wen Wen and Wen Su were just on a routine patrol, but an indescribable intuition made them feel that something seemed amiss.

So, they followed this strange feeling and searched all the way here. When they finally arrived here, they only took a glance and immediately noticed Gu Jinxuan's abnormal condition at the moment.

There was no need for much verbal communication. They understood in their hearts just by looking at each other - their master had obviously been poisoned by some kind of drug. Wen Wen and Wen Su quickly stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, firmly supporting the staggering Gu Jinxuan.

The two men looked solemnly at Princess Anyang with a respectful and serious attitude. They asked in unison, "Princess, what should we do next? Should we escort the young master back to the palace?"

Princess Anyang was also extremely anxious at this time. She gasped for breath and replied in a slightly hoarse voice, "Take him back to my palace first. I have ordered someone to quickly call the imperial physician to treat him."

After saying that, she calmed her rapid breathing a little, and continued to follow closely with slightly heavy steps.

However, this short journey had already exhausted Princess Anyang's physical strength and energy. But even so, she did not dare to slack off at all, and still gritted her teeth and insisted on moving forward.

After receiving instructions from Princess Anyang, Wen Wen and Wen Su no longer hesitated. They immediately used their Qinggong skills and took Gu Jinxuan with them, flying as lightly as a bird and flying across the palace walls.

In the blink of an eye, the three figures disappeared from the spot, leaving only Princess Anyang and the palace maids and nannies behind her, still moving slowly and leisurely towards the bedroom.

After a cup of tea, Princess Anyang and the imperial physician hurried to the bedroom, one after the other.

As soon as they stepped into the room, they saw Wen Da and Wen Su standing by the bed with nervous expressions.

Looking more closely, Gu Jinxuan on the bed was in a very bad condition. He was in unbearable pain and kept rolling and twisting his body on the bed, as if he had been tortured by an invisible force and lost his mind.

"The imperial physician is finally here! What about Jinxuan's temperature? How is he now?" Princess Anyang was extremely anxious. She walked quickly towards the bed and asked anxiously.

Her eyes were fixed on Gu Jinxuan. Seeing that his face was as pale as paper and cold sweat was dripping down his forehead, she became even more worried.

"Your Highness the Princess, the master's condition is really not good. He can hardly bear it anymore..." Wen Wen replied in a hoarse voice. He and Wen Su had just tried their best to prevent Gu Jinxuan from hurting himself due to the unbearable pain. But now they were both exhausted and almost collapsed.

Seeing this, the imperial physician did not dare to delay even a moment and said quickly, "I will take the prince's pulse first."

Before he finished speaking, he rushed to the bedside in two steps, without even having time to greet Princess Anyang.

Then, he signaled Wen Wen and Wen Su to hurry forward and help hold down Gu Jinxuan's struggling body, then he stretched out three fingers of his right hand and gently placed them on Gu Jinxuan's wrist, and began to concentrate on diagnosing the condition.

For a moment, the bedroom was completely silent. Everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for the imperial physician's diagnosis.

As time passed, the atmosphere became increasingly solemn and depressing, as if the entire space had frozen.

Finally, after a long wait, the imperial physician slowly loosened his grip, stood up with a gloomy expression, and silently walked over to Princess Anyang. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the poison that the Crown Prince has been poisoned with is the rare 'love poison' in the world. This poison is extremely powerful. Once poisoned, unless you can have sex with a member of the opposite sex to detoxify, the toxin will travel through the meridians to the heart. By then, the Crown Prince's meridians will be completely severed, and his life will be in danger."

"You mean Jinxuan can only spend one night with a woman, otherwise he will die?" Princess Anyang asked with her eyes wide open and a look of shock on her face.

She simply couldn't believe what she heard. How could there be such a powerful aphrodisiac in the world, and how could such a thing happen at a solemn palace banquet!

Princess Anyang bit her lip, wondering to herself: Who on earth is so bold as to resort to such despicable tactics in the palace? What ulterior motive is hidden behind this?

The imperial physician beside him looked nervous, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness, this medicine is extremely potent. If you can't have sex in time to detoxify it, I'm afraid the Crown Prince's life will be in danger!"

As he spoke, the imperial physician couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

After hearing the words of the imperial physician, Princess Anyang frowned and became extremely anxious. She knew that the situation was urgent and that not a moment could be wasted.

So, she made a quick decision and said, "Okay, this princess will arrange this matter immediately, but in the meantime, you must do your utmost to stabilize the prince's condition and not let the situation worsen!"

The imperial physician nodded quickly and replied, "Princess, rest assured. We will do our best. However, please act quickly. The longer we delay, the greater the damage to the Crown Prince's health will be. It may even affect his lifespan!"

Princess Anyang was extremely anxious at this time, but she still remained calm and composed. After all, she was the eldest princess and her status was extremely noble.

However, behind this honor lies a responsibility and mission as heavy as a mountain. She frowned slightly, took a deep breath, turned around slowly, and stared solemnly at Wenhe and Wenquan in front of her.

"Wen Wen, Wen Su, this princess has an important matter for you to handle. I'm sure you all heard exactly what happened to Jin Xuan just now. Now, take Jin Xuan with you and go find Miss Lin Si to see if she's willing to help."

The eldest princess's face was solemn, and her words revealed an unquestionable majesty. After she finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Jinxuan beside her with a slightly embarrassed look, and continued, "If Miss Lin Si is unwilling to help, you can bring Jinxuan back to the palace safely. Then, I will find another woman with a clean background to help Jinxuan detoxify this evening. Tomorrow morning, she will be taken into the palace as a concubine."

"As you command, Your Highness. I will certainly fulfill my mission." Wen Wen and Wen Su responded in unison. They knew exactly what the eldest princess meant.

The two men thought to themselves that if Fourth Miss Lin was willing to be the one to detoxify her, then her marriage to her master would be a natural outcome.

But if Miss Lin Si insisted on not agreeing, no one would force her, but if she did so, the relationship between her and the master would probably end here.

Thinking of this, Wen Wen and Wen Su did not dare to delay for even a second. They immediately bowed and accepted the order, and hurried away with Gu Jinxuan, heading straight for Miss Lin Si's residence.
