Chapter 66: Poisoning the Crown Prince

Hearing him say this, Mo Junheng was not annoyed either: "There is naturally important business to attend to. Apart from that, Father Emperor also had me come to handle a matter." He clapped his hands, and a white-bearded old man carrying a medicine chest walked in.

"This humble official Wen Jiu greets His Highness Prince Li."

"Imperial Physician Wen." Mo Junyan sneered: "Father Emperor sent you to treat This Prince?"

"To reply to the Prince, precisely so." A trace of mockery flashed through Mo Junyan's eyes: "Good." He extended his hand, his expression calm: "Imperial Physician Wen, go ahead and have a look."

Wen Jiu stepped forward, passing Chi Nan Yi, and came to Mo Junyan's side.

Chi Nan Yi had originally wanted to leave, but the medicine had not yet reached the Crown Prince's mouth—how could she be willing?

Taking advantage of the time Imperial Physician Wen was diagnosing Mo Junyan, Chi Nan Yi slowly walked to the table and personally poured a cup of tea for Mo Junheng.

Seeing Chi Nan Yi's movement, Mo Junyan's brows furrowed fiercely. His originally calm heartbeat unexpectedly began to speed up abruptly, and Imperial Physician Wen, whose brows lowered lower and lower, trembled at the fingertips, his heart sinking further.

Mo Junyan loved tasting tea, so all the tea that appeared in his study was of the finest quality. Coincidentally, in the original owner's memory, Mo Junheng was the same.

Chi Nan Yi flicked her fingertip, and a pill dropped into the teacup—colorless and odorless.

Mo Junheng originally would not have drunk the tea she handed over, but when he caught that refreshing tea fragrance, his eyes lit up.

This tea fragrance was actually several times better than what was in the Palace.

Mo Junyan really did have a lot of good things here!

Watching him lift the teacup and take a few sips, Chi Nan Yi's eyes filled with a smile.

You dog, this lady is collecting back a portion of the interest first.

The smile in her eyes landed in Mo Junyan's eyes like a thorn.

Piercing fiercely into his heart.

Could it be... that the same disaster was going to repeat itself?

In his view, the reason Chi Nan Yi wore a beautiful smile was because Mo Junheng had accepted the tea she offered.

Chi Nan Yi did not notice the storm-brewing look in Mo Junyan's eyes, entirely intent on waiting to watch the spectacle.

Wen Jiu withdrew his hand and sighed heavily.

Before he could speak, they heard Mo Junyan say coldly: "Miss Chi, Imperial Physician Wen is here today, so there is no need for you to treat me."

Hearing this, Chi Nan Yi was first startled, then grew somewhat anxious.

If she left now, wouldn't she miss seeing Mo Junheng make a fool of himself?

How could that do?

Besides, what did he mean there was no need for her to treat him?

She had clearly already diagnosed and treated him today!

Mo Junheng was no good thing, and this Prince Li was no good person either!

Since he had already issued an order to leave, she could not stubbornly refuse to go.

It was just a pity that she would miss seeing such a spectacular scene in a moment.

The look of regret on her face drove Mo Junyan even more insane.

After Chi Nan Yi left, Imperial Physician Wen said with a heavy expression: "Prince, your body... is truly somewhat ruined."

"Ruined?"

"That is correct. From the pulse, the internal organs in your body are severely damaged, your meridians are blocked, your liver Qi is stagnant..."

Imperial Physician Wen listed a whole string of problems—in short, his body was already ruined beyond further ruin.

"What about the legs?" What Mo Junheng cared about most was his legs.

Seeing his anxious manner, Mo Junyan could not help but sneer inwardly.

Imperial Physician Wen did not speak, only shook his head with a heavy expression.

Seeing him like this, Mo Junheng was completely reassured.

Mo Junyan's legs were truly crippled!

Wonderful!

Truly crippled!

Without these legs, from now on, he would no longer be a threat to him.

Only he himself could ascend to the throne.

Mo Junheng was in an excellent mood and directly drank every last drop of the tea in his hand.

"Ah, Second Brother, life is impermanent. Some things, you must learn to let go."

"Heh, Royal Brother is right." Mo Junyan's lips curled into a cold sneer: "Life is impermanent."

Mo Junheng was in an excellent mood and was just about to rise and leave when a sudden bout of cramping pain came from his stomach.

In the next instant, an earth-shatteringly loud sound erupted from the study, just like what had happened to the Ruan Family members.

A moment later, the study door was flung open, and a figure was sent flying backward out of the study.

"Mo Junheng, do you have no manners at all!" Mo Junyan's face was livid—clearly he had been choked quite badly. Even Imperial Physician Wen had covered his mouth and nose; if he had been a moment later, he would have been choked to death.

As Mo Junheng was fanned out, a series of sounds began to appear in the courtyard one after another.

The Dark Guards all kept their heads lowered, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, but they clamped their lips shut tight, refusing to let out a single laugh.

They were professionals.

Must not laugh, absolutely must not laugh.

Openly mocking the Crown Prince was a beheading offense, but...

They truly could not hold it in.

Sitting in the carriage outside the courtyard, preparing to leave, Chi Nan Yi clearly heard that deafening sound, and the corners of her lips lifted uncontrollably.

Mo Junheng had sat in the Crown Prince's position for many years and was extremely concerned about face. Now both his face and his dignity had been stripped bare—yet this was merely a sliver of interest she was collecting back.

What was face compared to one's life?

What is life compared to the realm?

She not only wants Mo Junheng to lose face, but also wants him to lose what he cares about most.

Chi Nan Yi glanced at the imposing gate, then gave a faint smile.

Prince Li is also a decent supporter.

Mo Junheng suddenly turned out like this, and even after Imperial Physician Wen examined him for a long time, he still couldn't find anything wrong.

"Your Highness, you look like you've eaten something bad."

"Nonsense!" he said hoarsely and weakly: "I must have been poisoned." His eyes were filled with bloodshot lines, his face as grim as possible; it must be Mo Junyan who poisoned me!

"Your Highness, I found no trace of poison in your body." Imperial Physician Wen did not say what followed: "Who would bother making a poison that can't cause real harm?"

"If it's not poison, how could I suddenly be like this? Clearly your medical skills are lacking!"

Severe pain from his abdomen made fine beads of sweat appear on his forehead, making him barely able to stand.

He will definitely settle this score!

At that moment, only Mo Junyan remained in the study.

His gaze fell on the tea cup Mo Junheng had just drunk from, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Mo Junheng's illness seems to have started after drinking that cup of tea.

Could it be that…

The savage aura that Mo Junyan could barely suppress gradually faded, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes, the corner of his mouth curled up, and the vexed energy pressing on his heart instantly vanished.

She could make her own legs lose sensation without anyone noticing, so naturally she could poison the Crown Prince.

He glanced at his legs, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes; although his legs were temporarily numb, it had also helped him once.

Otherwise he would have to use reverse true qi to deal with Imperial Physician Wen.

But… why would she poison the Crown Prince?

Mo Junyan's eyes flickered, his brows furrowed tightly; could she also…

Impossible.

He rubbed his forehead, waves of pain coming from his mind.

"Master." Yun Shan said softly from outside the door: "The Crown Prince's side summons you."

Mo Junyan opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "This Prince is idle?"
