Shi Yu Yin glanced at Xū Yáng, then looked at Chǔ Lián Ruò, but didn't see any intersection of their gazes. One was quietly sitting on one side, while the other was probably lost in thought about some handsome man, leaning against the back of the chair with a distant look.

  After a while, several imperial physicians and Green Luo, who had changed into a new set of clothes, walked in. Qin Mama entered the inner chamber, where she needed to keep an eye on the Empress Dowager's condition at all times.

  "What can be found out?"

  "I report to Your Majesty, the actual reason is that the fragrance on Consort Lu's body clashed with the sandalwood scent of the Buddha beads, causing the Empress Dowager to faint. The poison on the Empress Dowager's hand was generated after smelling the fragrance on Consort Lu's body. Fortunately, it wasn't a severe toxin and will naturally dissipate over time."

  "That's a plausible argument, but it's also wrong." Xū Yáng said languidly.

  "What does Wang mean by this, thinking that we old guys are all just empty names?" Another white-bearded old man glanced at Xuyang, and as for Wang, they had been dissatisfied with him since the previous emperor was still around. They had never seen an imperial son who openly liked men, and relying on the previous emperor's favoritism and Xu Rong's indulgence, some things were indeed done too excessively.

  "Lin Taizhong, at your age, who knows how many more years this name will be useful, it's just a matter of time. " Xū Yáng had been enduring Xū Róng's provocations all along, but he really didn't take him seriously, and his appropriate pride and self-satisfaction could also weaken Xū Róng's vigilance.

  Besides, Xi Rong's heart was eager for Xi Yang to offend the powerful officials. Lin Taiyin was a formidable figure in his youth and had some disciples and friends who were officials in the previous dynasty. If Xi Yang scolded him, he would definitely be remembered with hatred, and in the future, whenever they found fault with him, they would be the first to impeach him.

  As expected, Xurong did not blame him for his rudeness. "Alright, Xuyang, although you are the Feathered King, you still need to be careful."

  Xu Yang's identity is already out in the open, and now that the Emperor has spoken, Lin Taizhong could only lower his head and say, "I was wondering what wise words the Crown Prince might have to offer?"

  "What did you see, Xū Yáng?" Xū Róng stared at him, while Chǔ Lián also saw Shī Yù Yīn staring at Fēng Wáng, and she couldn't be an exception, so she also raised her eyes.

  When the starry eyes fell on Xuyang's body, she could carefully examine him. He had lost weight, although he concealed it very well, but Chulianruo still saw through it. His eyebrows were filled with fatigue, not the color of unfulfilled desire, but fatigue, was it because of her?

  There is a feeling that almost bursts out of the body, but it is ruthlessly suppressed and engraved on the heart. Even if it pierces the heart, not a single trace can be revealed.

  The hand placed on her leg had already pinched countless folds in the other person's Luo skirt, but Chulian still averted her gaze.

  Actually, when she looked over, Xuyang felt it, the clear and beautiful eyes were filled with pity, although anyone looking at them seemed calm as water, but he just felt it, only he couldn't do anything, could only stare blankly as he sat with another man.

  Suppressing the fire in her heart, she stood up impatiently. "You say that the fragrance of the Buddha beads clashes with the scent on Green Phoenix's clothes, so why did only the Empress Dowager faint, while Green Phoenix is fine?"

  "Really? Doctor Lin, what does this mean?" Chu Lian asked curiously.

  Shi Yu Yin raised an eyebrow, so to speak, it's quite strange. If it's because of the conflicting scents of incense and Buddhist beads, then why is Green Luo calm and unharmed at this moment? It can't be that she knew in advance and made preparations, right?

  Her eyes suddenly emitted a golden light, if it were true... She looked at the person kneeling on the ground with their head bowed, and the green rug in front of them was wet. If she had done so, it would have been a futile effort, after all, she had lost the protection of the Empress Dowager and could not win the favor of the Emperor.

  Could it be Chu Lian Ruo? How could a woman who climbed to the position of imperial consort so quickly be underestimated, but this face is really too bewildering. But she also had no reason, this green Luo couldn't threaten her in the slightest, how would she choose such a person to make a move, or was it just a coincidence?

  On this side, Shi Yu Yin's mind was racing, while on the other side, the imperial physician who was still kneeling on the ground was sweating profusely and stuttering, unable to speak. It seemed that none of them had thought about this problem in their rush for quick success.

  Chu Lian let out a cold snort, in the past when they retired and returned to their hometown, every day was carefree. Now that they've entered the imperial palace again, some things are no longer up to them!

  "Your Majesty, it's possible that this green-faced woman did it on purpose, she took something beforehand..."

  "Shut up! Is this also something you can just make up with your loose talk?" Li Gong immediately stopped another imperial physician who had been speaking without reserve due to being too comfortable.

  The old man who spoke was also familiar to Chu Lian, as her father General Qin had been concerned about her and sent the old imperial physician, named Lian Song, into the palace. However, it was he who told Xu Rong that it was at the empress's behest that he poisoned a concubine who was still relatively favored by the emperor at the time.

  Nowadays, I don't quite remember what the concubine's origin was, but she was indeed doted on by Xiurong. She never thought of harming others, and now that I think about it, this matter is also suspicious. Perhaps it was Shi Yuyin or another concubine who wanted to make her a poisonous woman back then.

  Heh, Chu Lian couldn't help but sneer inwardly. If she were to carefully consider it, aside from Lin Taiyi who had just spoken up, the remaining three elderly men all seemed to have some connection with her.

  "Your Majesty, forgive me, I was just guessing." The imperial physician was drenched in cold sweat, wiping the sweat from his forehead while trembling and almost falling to the ground.

  Xu Rong's face fell, and he didn't say a word, but it was clear that he wasn't happy. This green gauze, if it really had this intention, shouldn't have come out of the imperial physician's mouth. "Green Gauze, you tell me what's going on?"

  Luoluo's heart sank even more because of the emperor's words, and now she was so frightened that her body trembled. She knelt down beside Xiurong and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't know, I really don't know what's going on. The fragrance on this dress is also used by Empress Dowager, I had no idea it would conflict with the other one. As for me, I don't know, I really don't know." Luoluo kept repeating "I don't know" in a tired tone, her face filled with exhaustion.

  "Your Majesty, I remember that there was a young and promising imperial physician at the Taiyi Hospital, wasn't there?" Just as they were at an impasse, Chu Lianruo leaned in close to Xi Rong's side and spoke in a low voice.

  Xu Yang had already seen this scene in his wandering gaze, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. Fortunately, Xu Rong was attracted by Chu Lian at this time and didn't notice the color of Xu Yang's eyes. And no one else noticed either, as they were all lost in thought.

  "Is Dr. Chu back? He seemed to have gone out of the palace to collect medicine today, I don't know if he's returned yet?" Li Gonggong heard Xu Rong's order and muttered to himself, "I'll go take a look right now."

  The candle in the house jumped up and down, and the quick-witted palace maid quickly replaced it with a new one. The originally dimly lit room suddenly became bright again.

  Although several old imperial physicians were newcomers to the Tai Hospital, they had also heard of this Zhu Taizhen, a young talent with superb medical skills that bordered on the magical, but of course, this was just palace gossip.

  So far they have not seen him take action, now it's just right to see him and decide their attitude towards him in the future.

  After Li Gonggong left, the whole house was left with only Yingying's sobbing green gauze, the sound like a kitten, making Xiang Rong's heart itch. "Alright, if it wasn't for you, I would have cleared your name."

  Shi Yu Yin wanted to speak but stopped herself, and in the end, she just glared fiercely at Lu Luo.

  Chu Lian Ruo was secretly surprised, she had no idea that this green Luo had such a charming voice, it seemed that in order to be the master, he must have put in a lot of effort in private.

  Her gaze followed the green gauze and met Xi Yang, who had just stood up because of Lin Taiyi's words and was leaning against the door blowing wind. Their eyes touched and parted, and they both hooked up a faint smile. With just one glance, they saw the intention in each other's eyes. She said "don't worry", he said "rest assured".

  Xu Yang continued to look out the door, occasionally sweeping his gaze across the room, seemingly uninterested in this group of women and these old doctors.

  The night wind blew gently through the open door and around Xuyang's body, carrying the faint scent of incense into the room. The candle flame on the table flickered suddenly. "Imperial brother, since Mother Empress is unharmed, may I take my leave?" Xuyang yawned, his eyes scanning the room with a look of great displeasure.

  He smiled secretly in his heart, humph, you're thinking of warmth and fragrance, but he was pleased to see it happen, scolding a few words on the surface, yet still agreed to his proposal.

  Xu Yang hastily expressed his gratitude and retreated, seemingly grabbing something in the darkness. Immediately after, a voice with hidden anger echoed outside the door, "Fei Wang, please restrain yourself."

  Xu Rong naturally recognized that it was the voice of Xiao Feng, his imperial guard, and slightly raised an eyebrow. A plan had already formed in his mind. "Li Gonggong, go take a look at what's going on?"

  Chu Lian felt that this Li Gonggong was so pitiful, having completely become a errand runner, however... "Your Majesty, Li Gonggong has gone to summon Doctor Chu."

  "It seems I forgot. In that case, let's go take a look together." Xū Róng slowly got up, took Chǔ Liánruò's hand and walked out.

  At night, the wind was cool. Chu Lian's body had always been weak, and although she had been nourished by the medicine left behind by Lan Niang at that time, it had only been a year, so it could only be said that she wouldn't be able to walk far, but blowing in the wind and basking in the sun would still make her feel somewhat unwell.

  She shrank back and hid behind Xiurong, but Xiyang keenly discovered it. He saw that Xiurong was staring at him, and let out a helpless sigh in his heart. "This wind is cold and the dew is heavy, Brother Emperor doesn't need to see me off."

  "If Gu is not coming out, are you planning to take away his imperial guard? Hmm?" Xū Róng gave him a sideways glance, seeing the humiliation in Xiao Feng's eyes, which was exceptionally clear under the bright moonlight.
