The emperor's mind worked quickly and he soon realized that something was wrong.

His expression turned cold, and a layer of frost gradually covered his wrinkled face.

"What a great Crown Princess, what a great General's wife, what do they think of me? They dared to break into the Eighth Prince's mansion at night without my order, are they planning to rebel?"

The emperor was furious, and his cloudy eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Su Dequan was startled by the emperor, and quickly lowered his eyelids to hide the changes in his emotions. His voice was nervous: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I'm afraid what happened tonight is not that simple. If Your Majesty can clarify the matter, perhaps the Crown Princess and the General's wife will behave themselves."

He was the emperor's confidant and understood the emperor's thoughts.

Facing the furious emperor, Su Dequan didn't know how to comfort him, but he also knew in his heart that the angry emperor did not need comfort, but needed people or things to vent his anger.

He didn't want to be regarded as a person for the emperor to vent his anger, so he could only remind the emperor to keep to himself and think about the prince who was about to arrive in the western border, and the Phoenix Gu that might succeed.

The emperor's eyes were deep, emitting a hostility and irritability that was totally inconsistent with his appearance. "I think the Crown Princess and Wan Shufang have forgotten what it means that the imperial power is supreme and the emperor does not joke."

This short sentence was like thunder exploding in Su Dequan's ears. His pupils suddenly contracted in shock. Does His Majesty want to punish the Crown Princess and Wan Shufang?

As this thought came to his mind, Su Dequan's throat suddenly tightened. He dared not say another word and even held his breath, for fear that the emperor would notice him and ask him to be buried with the crown princess and the princess consort.

"Go get some water." The emperor's temples were throbbing, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the fact that the Crown Princess and Wan Shufang went to the Eighth Prince in the middle of the night.

However, thinking that the Eighth Prince had been poisoned, and that the appearance of the two of them actually saved his life, no matter how dissatisfied the emperor was, he could only cheer up and put an end to the matter.

When Su Dequan heard the emperor's words, his tense nerves immediately relaxed a lot. He did not dare to waste time and took the initiative to fetch water. Then he helped the emperor wash up and accompanied the emperor to the Qianqing Palace.

"What happened to An Qing?" As soon as he came in, he saw Princess An Qing lying on the ground and the pale-faced Eighth Prince lying on the couch. The emperor's eyes flashed and his voice was a little stern.

"Father, your daughter-in-law asks you to make the decision for the eighth brother!" The Crown Princess glanced at the emperor and saw that he had an inexplicable expression. She felt uneasy in her heart, but she knelt in front of the emperor with a look of grief on her face, and her tears fell like pearls from a broken string.

Seeing the Crown Princess crying so sadly, as if she was really heartbroken for the Eighth Prince's experience, the Emperor sighed inwardly.

The Eighth Prince looks gentle and timid on the surface, but in fact, his ambition is no less than that of Prince Duan. However, the Eighth Prince is good at acting, and although Concubine De and the Queen are at a feud to the point of death, she will never let the Eighth Prince stand out.

Over time, except for Prince Duan and others who danced more happily, the Eighth Prince and the princes below him seemed to be very obedient. Although the emperor had guessed that the Eighth Prince was ambitious, he thought it was harmless and did not take him seriously.

But as soon as Concubine De died, Princess An Qing took the Eighth Prince away from Luoyang City at this time, and the emperor became suspicious of the Eighth Prince.

When the Eighth Prince came to him and was angry about Concubine De's death, the emperor took advantage of the situation and imprisoned the Eighth Prince, and then secretly investigated the Eighth Prince's affairs.

After two or three months, the emperor found out a lot of things through the eighth prince.

Therefore, the emperor looked down upon the eighth prince, a son who did not understand his own status but was so ambitious that he was fooled by others.

But no matter how much he disdained it, he would not allow anyone to harm the Eighth Prince under his nose.

"What happened to Lao Ba? Why is he so pale?"

The Emperor took over the Crown Princess' words and quickly came before the Eighth Prince.

When he got closer, the emperor realized that the eighth prince looked extremely ill and was immediately shocked.

"It was Princess An Qing who poisoned Old Eight. Father, if I hadn't suddenly decided to visit Old Eight tonight, we would have received news that he had died of poisoning early tomorrow morning."

"Woo woo, Lao Ba is trapped in his own mansion and can't do anything. Why is Princess An Qingchang so cruel to him?"

"Father, Old Eight is so pitiful. You have to make a decision for him. Otherwise, people will think that you hate Old Eight and that's why someone took the opportunity to harm him."

The Crown Princess spoke eloquently about her findings and, filled with grief, asked the Emperor to make the decision.

Every word she spoke was for the Eighth Prince's benefit, and she looked as if she wished she could take his place.

The emperor was secretly surprised to see her emotions revealed and her eyes almost swollen from crying.

Does the Crown Princess have such deep feelings for Lao Ba? Or does the Crown Princess want to use Lao Ba's affairs to achieve her ulterior motives?

The emperor was thinking, but his expression remained calm. He just looked at the eighth prince with a sad face, as if he was very worried about his condition.

"There's no reason for An Qing to be so cruel to Lao Ba."

"Wan Shufang, please go check on Lao Ba. When will he wake up?"

When the emperor arrived, Wan Shufang tactfully stepped aside.

Hearing the emperor's words, Wan Shufang immediately looked up at the emperor, then lowered her head and said to the emperor respectfully, "The Eighth Prince has been poisoned. I alone cannot completely remove the poison for the Eighth Prince. I thought of the highly skilled doctors in the Imperial Hospital, so I brought the Eighth Prince into the palace with the Crown Princess."

At this point, Wan Shufang respectfully requested the emperor: "Your Majesty, I beg you to send the imperial doctors to help me."

"Su Dequan, go and call the imperial physician." The emperor glanced at Wan Shufang out of the corner of his eye and saw that she was so respectful to him, as if she was really worried about the eighth prince.

The emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He had some understanding of Wan Shufang's character.

A smart but untactful woman, she relied on the fact that she was Chen Changli's wife and had little respect for the royal family. Now she wanted to do her duty for the eighth prince. The emperor found it a little strange no matter how he thought about it.

The emperor turned the beads in his hand and stared at Wan Shufang intently, his tone full of scrutiny: "With the help of the Imperial Hospital, you may be able to wake up the eighth brother early tomorrow morning."

Isn't this embarrassing? Wan Shufang complained in her heart, but then she began to think about the Eighth Prince's awakening.

She fed the Eighth Prince an antidote, and later various pills that could inhibit the spread of the toxin. The doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were all very capable, and with their help, it was only a matter of time before the Eighth Prince woke up.

At this point, Wan Shufang immediately replied to the emperor: "I dare not make a promise to Your Majesty, but I am willing to do my best to save the Eighth Prince."

She didn't dare to make any promises to the emperor, she could only say that she would do her best to save the eighth prince.

The emperor looked at her and said meaningfully, "If something happens to Old Eight, you won't be able to explain your actions in going to the Eighth Prince's Mansion tonight."
