As Ye Jingche's expression became more and more bizarre, more and more people started to think this way. They didn't know what Ye Jingche had actually done, but looking at his strange eyes, they were sure that he had done something. Otherwise, why would he be so calm?

Emperor Ruikang also noticed Ye Jingche's strange expression. He extended his hand towards Ye Jingxing, who had been protecting him the entire time, and waited until he was helped to get up. Then, he looked at Ye Jingche who was being guarded by two Iron Eagle Brigade Soldiers and asked: "What did you do?"

The instant Emperor Ruikang's voice fell, because of the chaos just now, Ye Jingche, who was forced to kneel at the bottom of the table, suddenly laughed coldly. Furthermore, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he stood up straight, looked at Emperor Ruikang and said: "Could it be that Royal Father has forgotten that this power was in the hands of my mufei for nearly ten years?"

But before he could say anything, Ye Jingche continued: "If Royal Father doesn't remember this matter, then I presume that he does not know, that the Liu family sent in the palace's chef, right?"

The more Ye Jingche spoke, the heavier Emperor Ruikang's heart became.

If this was true, then would so many people in the great hall be in trouble today?

Just when everyone thought that the food was poisoned, and those who did not touch the food were feeling lucky, Ye Jingche suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahaha, you guys can't find it, you can't find it, hahahaha."

Seeing that Ye Jingche looked like he was crazy, Emperor Ruikang felt extremely uncomfortable. He was just about to ask someone to take Ye Jingche down and let the Imperial Physician from the imperial hospital examine the food inside, but who knew that when he opened his mouth, he would directly spurt out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing Emperor Ruikang spitting out a mouthful of blood, not only Ye Jingxing who was supporting him, everyone in the hall was also shocked.

Today was New Year's Eve, if Emperor Ruikang really died from anger on this day, then that would be the shame of their entire country.

Fortunately, after spitting out that mouthful of blood, Emperor Ruikang was supported by Ye Jingxing to sit down in time. Although he felt weak, he did not faint.

Emperor Ruikang held Ye Jingxing's hands tightly. He opened his mouth and instructed him softly, "Send for the imperial physician."

When Emperor Ruikang said that, he immediately felt weak in his body. He originally wanted to ask someone to bring Ye Jingche down, but he could only restrain himself from saying that so that he would not faint.

The imperial physicians came very quickly, and all of the imperial physicians in the entire hospital had come as well.

Not only were they worried about what Ye Jingche had really done, there were simply too many officials and family members, they would not make it in time to treat him.

After the imperial physicians arrived, there was no need for Emperor Ruikang to say anything. was the only one who roughly explained the situation here.

After Ye Jingxing finished speaking, the head of the Grand Hospital brought the two imperial physicians with the best medical skills to surround Emperor Ruikang and check his pulse. The rest of the imperial physicians began to inspect the food and wine on the tables in front of them.

The imperial physicians were all very meticulous, whether it was the imperial physician who checked the veins in the Emperor Ruikang or the imperial physician who examined the food and wine on the tables.

The imperial physician who had examined the veins of the Emperor Ruikang stopped in his tracks first. The three of them looked at each other, and the other two imperial physicians set their gazes on the head of the courtyard at the same time.

The head of the hospital was even older than Emperor Ruikang, but Emperor Ruikang trusted his medical skills. Even though he asked several times to return to his hometown, he was always rejected by Emperor Ruikang.

At this moment, the head of the hospital noticed the gazes of the other two imperial physicians on him, but felt that he wouldn't be able to bring the old man up safely.

After he carefully pondered in his heart, he looked up at Emperor Ruikang and Ye Jingxing and said, "This subject has already warned you before that you shouldn't be so angry and overjoyed, Your Majesty's body. "His Majesty was so angry just now that he attacked her heart. Although he spat out the clotted blood in time, his body still hurt a bit more."

The dean felt that although he spoke in a reserved manner, he was very direct, especially Emperor Ruikang, who knew what kind of situation his body was in.

Only, he had forgotten about Ye Jingxing who was currently beside Emperor Ruikang.

Although Ye Jingxing knew that he was the successor to the throne that belonged to the Royal Father, the imperial edict had not been read out, and he had not ascended the throne yet.

The most important thing was that the reason why the Royal Father would choose him in the end, was most likely because of his filial piety.

Although he did not know how the Royal Father viewed him, he had to maintain his filial piety in front of everyone.

After pondering it over in his heart, Ye Jingxing looked at the Head of the Institution and said, "You've said so much, but you haven't mentioned how to treat him." Saying this, Ye Jingxing looked at the head of the courtyard and said with an anxious voice, "No matter what, you have to do your best to cure father. "Since royal father has always trusted you, I believe you must have the ability to treat him!

Ye Jingxing's performance perfectly displayed a son who was concerned about his father who was also worried about his father, and had no choice but to suppress his anxiety.

Dong Shu was unable to see how others looked, but she could clearly feel that after her brother-in-law said this to the Principal, Emperor Ruikang looked at him with even more satisfaction.

Dong Shu's gaze fell upon Ye Jingxing and Emperor Ruikang for an instant. Just as she was about to continue looking at her husband who was standing guard in front of her, who knew that the imperial doctors sitting next to her, who were inspecting the tables for food and wine, would actually argue with her.

Although the Emperor Ruikang felt uncomfortable, he had been paying attention to them the entire time. Upon hearing that they were arguing, he immediately held Ye Jingxing's hands tightly.

Sensing the anxiety in the Royal Father, Ye Jingxing immediately raised his voice and asked: "What's going on?" This time, Ye Jingxing's tone of voice was a little different from before, less gentle, but more severe.

Emperor Ruikang should be very satisfied with Ye Jingxing, because the moment Ye Jingxing finished speaking, he smiled slightly and lightly patted the back of Ye Jingxing's hand.

After sensing the Royal Father's actions, Ye Jingxing's gaze towards the imperial physicians below became much friendlier than before. However, his furrowed brows still showed that he was not in a good mood.

However, the imperial physicians at the bottom of the hall did not make Ye Jingxing wait for long. After they noticed Ye Jingxing's displeasure and the Emperor Ruikang's scrutinizing eyes, they quickly gathered and discussed a few sentences, and then, two of the oldest imperial doctors led the way as they knelt in the middle of the hall. They looked at the Emperor Ruikang and Ye Jingxing and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject did not discover anything strange in the food and wine."

The moment the imperial physician finished speaking, before Emperor Ruikang and Ye Jingxing could even react, Ye Jingche, who had been standing to the side watching coldly from the side all this time, suddenly shouted in shock, "Impossible!"

Hearing Ye Jingche's words, one of the imperial physicians who was in a bad mood with the Third Prince raised his head and said with a slightly disdainful tone, "If you don't believe me, please feel free to let the royal doctors or doctors from the other faction come and inspect."

The moment this person finished speaking, Ye Jingche seemed to have thought of something as he suddenly rushed towards the women from the Third Prince Palace who were already under the control of the Iron Eagle Brigade soldiers, and directly pulled out the Madame Liu who was hiding behind the Madame Zheng.

After Ye Jingche pulled out Madame Liu, he looked at her in disbelief, his bared teeth looking like they were about to split.

She looked at Ye Jingche with an almost emotionless gaze, and coldly said: "You don't have to guess, I didn't take that medicine at all."

The moment Madame Liu's voice fell, Ye Jingche, who finally knew what was going on, immediately raised his hand and slapped her in the face.

"Slut!"

This slap of Ye Jingche's seemed to be done with all his strength, as a woman from Madame Liu fell to the ground from this slap, and a few imprints of a slap instantly appeared on her face.

Seeing Madame Liu on the ground, Ye Jingche was still unhappy. Just as he was about to raise his leg to kick her again, Xu Shiqiu had already pulled him back a distance before he could even move his leg.

When Ye Jingche saw that the Madame Liu was saved by Xu Shiqiu, he immediately looked at the Madame Liu and roared angrily: "You slut, you destroyed my plan, how can you face me, how can you face the Liu Family!"

The reason why Ye Jingche gave such a huge matter to the Madame Liu was not only because she was his secondary wife but also because she was his own cousin.

Although Madame Liu's father was the Liu Family's bastard, once he ascended the throne, the Liu Family's status would immediately change.

Even if Madame Liu's father was a concubine, she would definitely be able to get a good official position.

This was why Ye Jingche was willing to poison Madame Liu at the beginning.

Madame Liu was initially moved, because her father was a bastard, her father was not taken seriously in the Liu family. If she could really do this, then her father's position in the family would be different.

But in the end, she changed her mind because of Dong Shu's words.

He looked at Ye Jingche who seemed to be going crazy, Madame Liu who was kneeling on the ground suddenly raised her head, and without caring about the pain on his face, he looked at him and said: "What does the Liu Family have to do with me? Even if you, Ye Jingche, are able to accomplish anything today, you will only leave the throne for the son of Madame Zheng. Since my Zhai'er is unable to sit in that position, then why must I help Madame Zheng and her son!? "

Just as Madame Liu finished speaking, Ye Jingche suddenly sneered: "Idiot, do you think that if you fail, they will let your son live?"

Ye Jingche never thought that the Madame Liu would actually be such a fool. What was even more hateful was that he failed today precisely because of such a fool!

After hearing Ye Jingche's words, Madame Liu's body suddenly stopped, and without caring about Xu Shiqiu's obstruction, he directly crawled a few steps forward and kneeled down towards Dong Shu.

"Third Madame Xu, it was because of your words that I temporarily changed my mind and did not poison him. I know now that my life cannot be saved, but I beg you, for the sake of our shared mother, to keep me alive. "I'm begging you, I'm begging you …" Following the constant begging in Madame Liu's mouth, she did not care about the pain anymore and directly kowtowed towards Dong Shu in the hall.

And upon hearing what Madame Liu had said just now, Dong Shu was instantly stunned.

Although Dong Shu was straightforward and honest, she was not stupid.

Once Madame Liu's words came out, she carefully thought about it and recalled the words Madame Liu had said to her after stopping her outside the great hall.

Dong Shu knew that there were no secrets in the palace. The scene of her conversing with Madame Liu just now, although no one might have heard what they said, there must definitely have been someone who saw them talking together.

Therefore, she couldn't deny it.

Xu Nuanwen had always been by Dong Shu's side. As the daughter of a family of generals, although her skills were inferior to Xu Shiqiu's, she still had a few ways to protect herself.

She originally wanted to stay here to protect her sister-in-law, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

She looked at her sister-in-law in a daze, and a trace of awkwardness appeared on her face. She immediately took two steps forward, held her hands, and said: "Tell me what you said to Madame Liu just now."

Hearing Aunt Sister's words, Dong Shu immediately summoned her out of the main hall, and then was blocked by Madame Liu.

When Dong Shu had finished speaking, everyone finally understood why Madame Liu changed her mind after hearing Dong Shu's words.

Born.

In the commoners' families, a point that wasn't important was especially important in the nobility or even the imperial family.

Because of her parents' background, Madame Liu caused her to have a bad background, and in the end, affected the fact that her son was not taken seriously in the Third Prince Palace.

All of this was because of one word — origin!

Just when everyone was at a loss as to what to do, Empress Hu, who was seated at the seat of honor, suddenly spoke out for Dong Shu: "If your son can only be an ordinary citizen who doesn't even take examinations, are you willing?"

No one expected Empress Hu to speak, but once they remembered her attitude towards Dong Shu, everyone immediately understood why she would speak.

Madame Liu did not expect Empress Hu to speak either. After hearing Empress Hu's words, she struggled a little.

She knew that her son being able to keep his life was already an excellent thing, but people were all greedy. Under such circumstances, she wanted more.

Empress Hu was indeed worthy of being the Palace Mistress. She had seen too many women before, so she could easily guess what Madame Liu was thinking just by looking at her expression.

"One of the two choices is for your son to stay in the capital. In the future, he will be an ordinary citizen and won't be able to take the Imperial examinations. Second, your son has moved to the northern border, but the next generation can take the Imperial examinations. "

Two paths was actually not the best choice.

It was comfortable to stay in the capital. Even if the Third Prince was down and out, but Madame Liu's actions had saved a lot of people, at least her son would be able to live without worries. It was just that for generations, he would not be allowed to study, only be an ordinary person.

It was not that there were no scholars in the Northern Frontier. It was just that there were too few people who could successfully pass the Imperial Examinations and enrol into them. However, the next generation would be able to participate in the Imperial Examinations.

Madame Liu was not a decisive woman before, but today, for her son, she had chosen to betray Ye Jingche, the entire Third Prince Palace, and the Liu Family. Now, she had also chosen a path that she thought was most suitable for her son.

"I choose the second option!"

Madame Liu knew that the northern borders were suffering from cold weather, but the generals of the northern borders were always related to Xu Family. Today, she had begged Dong Shu.

She didn't ask for much. As long as her son was alive, she would be able to enjoy a complete life.

The moment the Madame Liu's voice fell, the Head of the Imperial Physician of the Grand Hospital also gave the Emperor Ruikang a needle, allowing him to feel slightly better.

Just as he felt that his body was a bit more comfortable, Emperor Ruikang opened his mouth and ordered Ye Jingche and his servants to be locked up. As for his family's Ye Zhi, since Empress Hu had spoken, he looked towards Xu Shiqiu, and indicated for Xu Shiqiu to arrange for him to go to the northern border.

Seeing that Emperor Ruikang had personally arranged for her son's future path, the Madame Liu suddenly rushed towards Dong Shu and laughed. Then, under Dong Shu's surprised cry, she immediately took out a bag of poison from her chest and stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation.

Seeing the Madame Liu resolutely commit suicide, Dong Shu stared at her with wide eyes. She knew in her heart that this was the best choice for the Madame Liu, otherwise, when she was imprisoned, the other female servants in the Third Prince Palace would definitely not let her go.

But when Ye Jingche looked at the familiar paper bag in Madame Liu's hands, he felt that everything was actually so laughable.

The Liu family found this medicine and gave it to him. He arranged for the Madame Liu to use it, but the Madame Liu reneged on his promise. In the end, she used this poison to end her own life.

Originally, this packet of poison was a slow one, and also had an antidote inside. He had originally planned to use this medicine to control them, but because Madame Liu had consumed it all in one go, and only needed a few breaths to do so, Madame Liu smiled and closed her eyes, then fell down.

No one would have thought that today's farce would end like this, and just as the farce in the palace had ended, the chaos outside the palace had also come to a halt.
