Chapter 498: The Cowardly Prince Consort in the Palace Fighting Novel (22)
Hearing this, Yue Hao was speechless.
Bai Zhi: "Che'er, then...why doesn't Qian Ming divorce Jiang Zui?!
If your father and I had known that he already had someone he loved, we would not have granted this marriage."
"Yue Qianming wants to use Jiang Zui to drive me out of the position of crown prince."
"How...how could this happen? Qianming...he wouldn't dare."
"He dares!" Yue Che said firmly: "Mother, do you still remember that Yue Qianming gave me a sachet before getting married and asked me to wear it all the time.
Did you know that the sachet contains a slow-acting poison that can kill people?
In less than half a year, I will die.
I have been wearing the sachet for three months, and toxins have accumulated in my body."
Upon hearing this, Yue Hao and Bai Zhi were both shocked, especially Bai Zhi, who quickly called for someone to find the imperial physician.
"Yue Qianming wants to use Mr. Jiang Zui's reputation to put some things in Jiang Zui's study that I want to use to commit treason.
In addition, if the poison in my body is not discovered at this time, I might be charged with treason three months later and die of the poison.
My father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen, have only two children: Erchen and Yue Qianming.
Now that my son is gone, Yue Qianming is the only one left.
Yue Qianming is certain that you will not do anything to him, and may even let him replace my son."
After a pause, Yue Che raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said jokingly: "Father, you made the wrong choice back then!
You know very well how much I don't want to be the crown prince.
But you insist on forcing me to give you things that I don't want.
But you just don't give Yue Qianming what he wants."
Upon hearing this, Yue Hao and Bai Zhi were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and saw helplessness and regret in each other's eyes.
Yue Che saw that Yue Hao and Bai Zhi were silent, so he pretended to joke and said, "Father, Mother, do you believe what I said?"
Bai Zhi hesitated and said: "Che'er...Qianming..."
Before he could finish his words, Yue Hao interrupted him and said, "I believe you."
Bai Zhi subconsciously looked at Yue Hao, her eyes full of helplessness, and said weakly: "I...I...I'm sorry about this, Che'er, your mother really doesn't want to see you and Qian Ming brothers quarreling and becoming enemies.
Che'er, can you..." forgive Qianming.
Before he could finish his words, a servant's voice came from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, Queen, Imperial Doctor Xue is here."
"Come in!" Bai Zhi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and shouted.
As soon as Doctor Xue walked in, he noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was a little strange, but he pretended not to show it and said, "I greet your majesty, your majesty, and your highness."
Bai Zhi said hoarsely to Doctor Xue: "The prince has been feeling unwell recently. Please treat him."
"Yes, ma'am."
Yue Che was very cooperative. After a cup of tea, Doctor Xue slowly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince... The Crown Prince... He..."
"What's wrong with Che'er? Tell me quickly!" Bai Zhi frowned and urged.
Doctor Xue said nervously in a low voice: "Your Highness, he...he was poisoned."
After these words were spoken, there was no trace of surprise on Yue Hao's face, as if he had known it for a long time.
Bai Zhi's face was filled with shock. She had always been skeptical about Yue Che's previous words and even suspected that Jiang Zui was trying to sow discord between them.
But... who would have known... her Che'er was actually poisoned.
It was still Qianming who did it.
How could she accept this?
Bai Zhi suddenly became confused and at a loss, and shouted to Doctor Xue: "Is there any way to cure it?"
Doctor Xue nodded repeatedly and said, "It can be cured, but..."
"But what?!" Yue Hao interrupted.
"Your Highness was poisoned by a powder made from frost grass and snake venom. It is estimated that he has been poisoned for three months. Some toxins have accumulated in his body. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise..."
"What else?!" Yue Hao asked.
"Otherwise...otherwise within three months, Your Highness will...will die." When saying this, Doctor Xue's body trembled slightly.
Yue Hao: "I ask you to do your best to cure the prince's illness.
If the prince is not cured, you will die as a token of your guilt."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will do my best to treat Your Highness." Doctor Xue's forehead was covered with sweat and his heart was beating very rapidly.
I thought to myself: Working for this TM boss is so tiring!
If you are not careful, you will lose your life!
Then, Yue Hao waved his hand and said, "Okay, go down and prepare the medicine."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Doctor Xue bowed and left Jiuhua Palace.
After Doctor Xue left, Yue Hao looked straight at Yue Che and asked in a cold voice, "Che'er, how are you going to deal with this?"
"This...speaking of which, it is you, your son, who should be asking your father." Yue Che asked instead of answering.
Bai Zhi's eyes were red and filled with tears. She said to Yue Che, "Che'er, you...you are my brother, you...just forgive Qian Ming once. Your mother will definitely teach him well in the future."
"Besides, isn't it okay for you?! Your brother is still young and doesn't understand. You are the older brother, so you should give way to your brother."
Yue Che didn't feel sad at all about Bai Zhi's words.
Because he had anticipated it.
Because he was the prince, he had to live alone since he was young and develop an independent character. However, Yue Qianming, who was the same as him, was able to sleep with Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi's favor for Yue Qianming is even more open and aboveboard.
As for Yue Hao, she felt more sorry for him, perhaps because she felt guilty for choosing him back then.
But even so, he knew clearly that his father loved his mother very much, so no matter what happened, as long as his mother pleaded for mercy, his father would soften his heart.
