Beads of sweat appeared on the second prince's forehead. He said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I really have no idea about this matter. The nurse was confused for a moment, and I am really wronged."

Xiao Jingxuan snorted coldly: "Then tell me, why did this nurse do such a thing? Why did she take the blame on herself and excuse you?"

The second prince frantically pondered over his words and stammered, "I don't know. Perhaps the nurse has her own selfish motives and is afraid of implicating me, so she did this."

"Prince Jin, I know you have something to do with this matter! How dare a wet nurse like her murder the prince! If anything happens to the prince and the princess, I will kill you!"

The second prince had a little cold sweat on his forehead, "Your Majesty! I really don't know!"

"Prince Jin allowed someone in his palace to murder the heir to the throne! His crime is so serious that he will be temporarily imprisoned and await his punishment!"

Xiao Jingxuan's eyes widened with anger as he roared loudly. The sound exploded in the palace like thunder, full of majesty and anger.

When the second prince heard this, he was immediately panicked.

His face was pale and his eyes were full of fear and regret.

"Your Majesty! I was wrong! I shouldn't have indulged my servant! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The second prince called out anxiously, his voice trembling and pleading.

He knelt on his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, and soon a redness and swelling appeared on his forehead.

However, Xiao Jingxuan's face had turned cold at this time. He waved his hand slightly, and immediately the guards came forward and lifted up the second prince without saying anything.

The second prince struggled desperately, but to no avail. His cries echoed in the palace, but could not move Xiao Jingxuan's determined heart.

The second prince was carried out, his eyes filled with despair and fear.

He knew that once he was thrown into prison, an unknown fate would be waiting for him.

"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me! Your Majesty, please have mercy on me! I truly know I was wrong!" His voice gradually faded away until it disappeared at the end of the palace corridor.

Xiao Jingxuan's face was gloomy, like the sky before a storm. He stood there, clenching his fists tightly, and his joints turned white due to the force.

The anger in his heart burned in his eyes, as if it was going to devour everything.

Although the second prince had never been close to him, they had never had any conflicts. Perhaps it was only because he became emperor that they became enemies!

"Feixue, you must thoroughly investigate this matter and not let any suspicious person go."

Xiao Jingxuan ordered in a cold voice. His tone was full of determination and decisiveness, leaving no room for doubt.

Feixue cupped his hands and replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best to fulfill my mission."

Xiao Jingxuan stood up slowly. His tall figure seemed to be carrying a heavy burden. His heart was always concerned about the two children.

He took a step and walked towards Chonghua Palace eagerly, his steps were firm and quick, he wanted to reach the children as soon as possible.

As he walked quickly into Chonghua Palace, his expression was extremely nervous.

His eyes were gleaming with anxiety and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The atmosphere in the hall was so solemn that it was suffocating, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

"Ruhuan! Are the children okay?" he asked anxiously, his voice trembling slightly, his words filled with endless concern and anxiety.

His eyes were as sharp as torches as he stared at Qin Ruhuan, as if her answer was his only salvation at the moment.

When Qin Ruhuan saw him come in, she quickly stood up and bowed gracefully.

"Your Majesty! Divine Doctor Bai has just developed an antidote, and the children have already taken it. They will probably wake up soon!"

Her voice was clear and gentle, with a hint of joy, like a ray of dawn in the darkness, bringing hope to people.

When Xiao Jingxuan heard this, he felt a little relieved, but his worry did not completely disappear.

He walked quickly to the bed, sat down slowly, and looked at the two pale children with tenderness and distress.

They lay quietly on the bed, like two fragile flowers, making people want to protect them.

He reached out and gently stroked the children's foreheads, feeling their faint body temperature. The touch made his heart tremble slightly.

"Children, please get better soon." He prayed silently in his heart.

At this time, Dabao's eyes slowly opened, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Xiao Jingxuan was so excited that he almost cried. He held Dabao's hand tightly and said gently, "Dabao, you're awake, that's great. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Dabao shook his head weakly and said in a weak voice: "Father, I'm fine. Where's Xiaohua?"

Xiao Jingxuan quickly looked at Xiaohua, and saw that Xiaohua also slowly opened her eyes. He was filled with joy and said to the two children, "You are all fine, it's great."

Xiaohua looked at Xiao Jingxuan, tears flashing in her eyes: "Father, Xiaohua is so scared."

Xiao Jingxuan hugged the two children in his arms distressedly: "Don't be afraid, children, your father is here and will not let you get hurt again."

At this time, the great doctor Bai Xiaofeng walked in. Xiao Jingxuan quickly stood up and looked at Bai Xiaofeng gratefully: "Xiaofeng, thanks to you, the children can be saved. I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Bai Xiaofeng bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. Saving the dying and healing the wounded is the duty of a doctor. The poison that the children were poisoned with is a rare heat toxicity disease. The heat toxicity enters the body, blocks the meridians, and disrupts the circulation of qi and blood."

"Fortunately, I prepared the antidote in time, which is a combination of herbs that can clear away heat and detoxify, cool blood and remove blood stasis, so that the poison can be eliminated. The children have just woken up and need to be taken care of. I will prescribe some more prescriptions to ensure that they recover as soon as possible."

Xiao Jingxuan nodded: "Thank you, Doctor Bai."

Dabao looked at Bai Xiaofeng with curiosity in his eyes: "Dr. Bai, you are amazing. Was it you who saved us?"

Bai Xiaofeng smiled and touched Dabao's head: "Your Highness, this is what I should do. You should have a good rest and recover your energy as soon as possible."

Xiaohua also looked at Bai Xiaofeng and said sweetly, "Thank you, Doctor Bai."

Bai Xiaofeng smiled and responded: "You're welcome, little princess. You are all brave children."

On the second day, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn.

All the ministers were outraged by the poisoning of the prince and impeached the Prince of Jin.

The left prime minister stepped forward first. He looked serious and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Jin allowed someone in the palace to murder the heir to the throne. This is a crime of treason. If they are not severely punished, it will be difficult to uphold the law and appease the people."

Dali Temple Minister Lu Haifeng stepped forward and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, the evidence is irrefutable that the Prince of Jin committed a crime. He is guilty of plotting to murder the heir to the throne, which is unforgivable. I suggest that he should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."

Xiao Jingxuan sat in the main hall, listening to the ministers' heated debate with a serious expression!
