The sun also seemed to shine brighter.

"In this way, the troubles in the palace are finally solved."

He thought to himself, but his brow remained solemn.

Ye Ziru's last words lingered in his mind all the time - to whom did she reveal his secret? This person must be found and eliminated as soon as possible!

While thinking, Baili reached his hand into his sleeve, intending to get rid of the porcelain bottle hidden inside.

However, when he touched nothing, his face suddenly changed, cold sweat broke out, and the hair on his body stood up. The porcelain bottle was gone!

This was important evidence containing his blood! He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, searching every corner of his sleeve, but found nothing.

"How can this be?"

He almost tore his clothes to look for it, but no matter how hard he searched, the porcelain bottle seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

At the palace gate, the guards had already prepared the carriage. Seeing Baili Yan standing there motionless, they reminded him, "Your Highness, this way, please!"

Baili Yan seemed not to hear it and was extremely panicked.

The news of the lost porcelain vase was like a bolt from the blue, and he lost his direction for a moment.

He was worried that if the porcelain bottle fell into the hands of others, especially if it was discovered by the imperial physician, the consequences would be disastrous. He was extremely anxious and decided to return immediately to look for it.

At this time, Baili Yue had already finished the blood collection and returned to her palace. When she returned to her room, she suddenly remembered the mysterious porcelain bottle she picked up in the morning.

There seems to be something in the bottle.

Baili Yue gently unscrewed the lid and saw bright red liquid inside.

"Blood?"

She was so frightened that her hands trembled and she almost dropped the bottle. After a while, she remembered that this should be the blood sample collected by the imperial physician.

But how did it appear at the door?

Usually, after the imperial physician has drawn the blood, he will give it to his apprentice to deliver to a designated location.

Could it be that the apprentice got lost along the way?

No, this bottle of blood seems to be related to the seventh royal brother.

Baili Yue vaguely remembered that she was distracted that day and did not notice her Seventh Brother walking towards her. As a result, she bumped into him. There seemed to be a sound of something falling to the ground at that time.

It seems that this bottle of blood was indeed dropped by the Seventh Prince accidentally.

She looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand, full of doubts: "Why does the Seventh Brother carry something like this with him?"

What does he need the blood for?

There must be some hidden story behind this.

Even though I couldn't figure it out after racking my brains, since this was my seventh brother's stuff, it was only right to return it to him. I would return it to him the next time we met.

Baili Yue casually placed the porcelain bottle on the table without giving it any more thought.

On the other side, Baili Yan was extremely anxious. He went back and forth from the Imperial Hospital to the palace gate several times, but still could not find any trace of the porcelain bottle.

I'm afraid it was picked up by someone.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

If the secret is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous!

But he had no idea that the porcelain bottle had been picked up by Baili Yue.

The search was fruitless, and Baili Yan left the palace in despair, with a heavy heart all the way.

Shen Yuming came to ask whether the blood collection went smoothly.

Baili Yan sat in the chair with a gloomy expression.

"It's over..."

Shen Yuming's heart tightened: "Your Highness, what happened? Did the blood transfusion fail?"

This should have been an easy task - just exchange the Seventh Prince's blood for that of the Deposed Crown Prince.

He clenched his fists and his eyes were stern. If he had not been facing the Seventh Prince, he would have already rebuked him.

"The blood transfusion was successful. The blood used was that of the abandoned prince."

After hearing this, Shen Yuming breathed a sigh of relief.

"but……"

Baili Yan continued, "My blood is gone. I clearly brought it out, but I don't know when I lost it."

He regretted it deeply. If he had known this would happen, he should have kept it properly instead of just putting it in his sleeve.

Shen Yuming's eyes were deep. After a moment of silence, he said, "Your Highness, don't worry too much."

"As long as Your Highness successfully completes the blood transfusion, it doesn't matter if the bottle of your blood is lost. Even if someone finds it, they won't know it's Your Highness's blood, so don't worry."

After listening to Shen Yuming's words, Baili Yan's tense heart finally relaxed a little.

Indeed, it was just an ordinary porcelain bottle with no mark on it, so it would not be a big deal even if someone discovered it.

However, Baili Yan didn't know that the person who picked up the bottle was his sister, Baili Yue, and she had recognized the owner of the porcelain bottle.

Baili Yan nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved: "You are right, I was indeed a little too nervous just now. In this way, the problem of blood collection has been solved, thanks to your suggestion."

Shen Yuming lowered his head slightly, unwilling to take credit:

"Your Highness, the most important thing right now is to quickly find out who the last person Ye Ziru saw before she died was. This person must be eliminated to ensure safety."

"Ah."

Baili Yan's expression turned serious: "We finally solved the blood collection problem today, who knows what will happen tomorrow. Only by eliminating the hidden dangers can we truly feel at ease."

"I will send someone to investigate this matter." Baili Yan said firmly.

The blood collection work in the palace was completed successfully, and the imperial doctors examined each sample one by one.

Finally, they reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the blood of all the princes and princesses has been checked, and no poisoning was found."

The emperor looked particularly heavy, as if he had aged a lot overnight: "Are you telling the truth? Have you checked it again carefully?"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true." The imperial physician answered affirmatively.

"That's great!" The emperor let out a long sigh, and his frown finally relaxed.

"Not long ago, I received a secret letter saying that someone in the palace secretly poisoned the prince and princess. After careful consideration, I decided to verify it through blood sampling. Now that I have confirmed that everyone is safe, I can rest assured."

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured."

When there were only two people left in the imperial study, the old eunuch spoke softly.

"But who sent the secret letter?"

The emperor frowned and thought: "It is hard to tell whether the content of the letter is true or false. This makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"Your Majesty, do you want to find out the source of this letter?"

"Okay, let's do as you say." The emperor nodded in agreement.

As the blood-drawing incident subsided, the palace returned to its former tranquility, and nothing seemed to have changed.

Some people in the palace were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, pacing back and forth.

Baili Ye's face turned pale and he kept walking. The people around him dared not breathe, for fear of accidentally angering this distinguished prince.

"What's going on? Why is there no movement in the palace? It's been several days since the blood was drawn?"

"Your Highness, three days have passed."

"It's been three days. It's been enough time to find out whether he is my biological blood. Why is there still no news from the palace?" Baili Ye's anger almost overflowed from his chest. These three days of waiting almost made him collapse.

"Send someone to urge the palace to send news immediately!" he ordered coldly.

"Yes, Your Highness." The men retreated and quickly took action to contact informants in the palace.
