He hastily gave An Ning and their daughter a few instructions before rushing to his study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Yu Ludai remained at the table, staring blankly at where her father had disappeared in a flash. An Ning, however, remained composed, seemingly uninterested in the recent news. She even took the opportunity to remove the crab leg the little girl had sneakily transferred to her own bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This successfully earned her daughter's pouting protest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, even faced with her daughter's pitiful gaze, the merciless \"Demon King\" An Ning remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crab meat was extremely cooling - did she think her gluttonous little girl's earlier sneaky bites had gone unnoticed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, you slave - what did you just say? Who had an accident? The Crown Prince?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the Crown Prince - since childhood elevated above all his brothers and court officials, the Emperor's favorite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though in recent years he'd somewhat fallen from grace, as someone who'd grown up on the \"neglected\" side of their father's favoritism, Yin Tang understood better than anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might all be sons, but even combined, their importance couldn't match the Crown Prince's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And such a person had encountered trouble... in the palace no less...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed!\" The reporting eunuch wiped his face hastily, his travel-worn features clearly panicked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to Your Highness, this slave doesn't know the details either. I only know all imperial physicians were summoned by His Majesty to Yuqing Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I left, the entire Forbidden City was already under strict lockdown. Had I not left early on official business, I wouldn't have made it out at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, Her Ladyship specifically instructed this slave to warn Your Highness that His Majesty is currently in a towering rage, so Your Highness must take extreme care...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Struggling to digest this news, Yin Tang waved his hand solemnly before speaking gravely after a pause:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be safe, you should return immediately. Tell me - did anyone notice you coming here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Your Highness. Given the gravity, I changed clothes after leaving the palace and even disguised my face before coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his face to reveal a small round visage smeared black, with only almond-shaped eyes visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anticipating trouble, the eunuch had taken great precautions during his journey, even changing his outfit completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Yin Tang nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While planting spies in the palace was routine for noble households, at this critical juncture, any slip-up could have disastrous consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Yin Tang still underestimated the situation's severity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When summoned to the palace, he was met with an Emperor barely containing his wrath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having ruled for decades, Kangxi had long mastered concealing his emotions. Yet today, his murderous rage was laid bare for all to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Qianqing Palace was terrifyingly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assembled princes stood in line, none daring to speak as their father's piercing gaze swept over them like a blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as their legs trembled from standing, none dared move under the Emperor's scathing verbal lashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Yin Tang learn - the Crown Prince hadn't fallen ill, but been poisoned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poisoned! Even Yin Tang couldn't suppress a shudder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the Emperor was so enraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Crown Prince's residence had layers of security - even his meals followed the Emperor's \"three-bite rule\" with food tasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the Emperor's meticulous control, anything entering Yuqing Palace would undergo rigorous inspection. Yet someone had succeeded...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting himself in those shoes - what if the target hadn't been the Crown Prince, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, who could have accomplished this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, that wasn't the pressing issue. Feeling the Emperor's increasingly murderous gaze, Yin Tang shivered - especially seeing how it focused on the First, Third, Fourth and even Eighth Princes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For once, Yin Tang felt grateful. Everyone knew he only had a precious daughter these years, doing nothing beyond minimal Ministry of Works duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for his fifth brother - facial scars from the Galdan campaign and poor Chinese had long excluded him from succession struggles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However this played out, it wouldn't involve their Yikun Palace faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Tenth Prince - that blockhead wouldn't even cross the Emperor's mind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Yin Tang relaxed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation unfolded accordingly. After imperial physicians risked their heads working nonstop for two days, they finally pulled the Crown Prince back from death's door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with his recovery came devastating news - the poison had damaged his foundation. Henceforth he'd need constant medicinal care, avoiding any exertion, chill, or stress - otherwise living past fifty would be impossible...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... this... this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ninth Prince's Residence\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the study, the Tenth Prince's jaw practically hit the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the Crown Prince is... is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn't voice \"useless,\" both understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once brilliant Crown Prince had become a fragile porcelain figure - only fit for display now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exchanging glances, Yin Tang's expression grew complicated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard it was a slow-acting poison, likely administered years ago. Only recent overexertion and cooling foods triggered it early. Had it taken full effect in 2-3 years, he'd have simply 'died from exhaustion'...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving no traces behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... this is too ruthless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And too masterful...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tenth Prince marveled at how a nation's Crown Prince could be so thoroughly ensnared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the Emperor had been so furious lately. While they fared better, their elder brothers faced house arrests and confiscated authority - especially the First Prince's faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ninth... Ninth Brother, who do you think did this?\" the Tenth Prince asked uneasily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who else but one of us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But using such methods against family... After years of peaceful domestic life, this left Yin Tang deeply unsettled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough!\" Yin Tang glared sternly at his naive brother:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However fiercely they fight, it's none of our concern. Don't get involved!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, Ninth Brother! You know me - I'm not one for meddling!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Yuqing Palace\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness, it's time for medicine...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Lady Guargiya's cautious reminder, Yinreng slowly opened his eyes. Gazing at his pale hands, his thoughts remained inscrutable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me the medicine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrary to expectations, after this catastrophe, the awakened Crown Prince showed no rage - only unexpected calm. He swallowed the usually detested bitter medicine sip by sip without flinching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lady Guargiya mentioned the Emperor's constant vigil until leaving for court, he merely nodded acknowledgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This attitude left her thoroughly perplexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after everyone withdrew did Yinreng finally look up, staring blankly at the python-patterned ribbon symbolizing his status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asked whether becoming a physician-certified \"cripple\" overnight, seeing lifelong ambitions destroyed, made him angry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps. But none could imagine - for a Crown Prince, becoming useless brought overwhelming relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yinreng mused this might be heaven's intervention - stopping him before taking irreversible steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the perpetrator remained unknown...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His phoenix eyes flashed with sudden sharpness:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This apparent dead end might yet become Yuqing Palace's path to survival...\u003C\u002Fp>",1168,"2026-06-05T19:58:17.352Z",1,"novelbin.me","51b8cf11986f6500351c6929050b166713c012d865f5e6fd6c5bbc6ca1e3a376","the-cannon-fodder-in-quick-transmigration-refuse-chapter-115","the-cannon-fodder-in-quick-transmigration-refuse-chapter-113",633,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-cannon-fodder-in-quick-transmigration-refuse-cover.jpg"]
