Queen Murong looked at Chu Wangchen and saw that his eyes were full of sincerity. He seemed to be sincerely praising her and Chu Jinhong. She must have been overthinking.

"Wangchen, do you think it's unfair? Although you are better, your father loves Hong more."

Queen Murong seemed to be telling Chu Wangchen something heartbreaking, but Chu Wangchen understood that she was testing her.

Chu Wangchen shook his head vigorously, "Mother, I have never thought about it this way. In my mind, the emperor's brother is the best. There is no problem in my father favoring him."

"Do you really think so?"

"Mother, if you don't believe it, I can swear it."

"That's not necessary. The Queen Mother just wants you two brothers to live in harmony. No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, the world will still belong to the Chu family."

"Queen mother, you are wrong. From now on this world must belong to the eldest brother."

Chu Wangchen's words completely made Empress Murong happy, "You child, you really follow your mother and concubine, you are gentle, kind and don't fight or compete with her."

"My mother's teachings are better."

Empress Murong mentioned Concubine Yao on purpose. She just wanted to see if Chu Wangchen would reveal his flaws. If he was pretending to be meek, his subconscious reaction when mentioning the most important person in his life was impossible to deceive. of.

But she was disappointed, Chu Wangchen didn't feel any strange at all.

Queen Murong nodded, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly in the future. By the way, don't get too close to that saint, she is very evil."

"Yes, mother, don't worry, I will remember it."

Queen Murong took a deep look at Chu Wangchen before leading the others away.

Watching Queen Murong's figure completely disappear from the door, Chu Wangchen quietly tightened his grip on the handkerchief.

He can live to this day and climb to the position of prince. His palace is deeper than that of Queen Murong. He is better at acting than acting.

An hour later, Gu Suyue came in with the palace maids and eunuchs, followed by an entire imperial doctor from the imperial hospital.

Afraid that Gu Suyue would do something to the eldest prince, the medicine she brewed had to be carefully tested and tasted to be non-toxic before being given to the eldest prince.

"Prince Wangchen, you have worked hard to take care of the eldest prince. You will not be so tired when he wakes up. You should come here to rest first."

Gu Suyue pointed to the chair in the room.

"Saintess, don't worry about me. The most important thing now is to cure the emperor's illness."

Gu Suyue frowned in annoyance. She had deliberately tried to please Chu Wangchen, but he didn't appreciate it. She was so ignorant.

"There is no need for Prince Wangchen to remind you, this saint knows how to do it."

Gu Suyue ignored Chu Wangchen and stared at the imperial doctors for examination.

Afraid that one imperial doctor would fail the inspection, several imperial doctors took turns to check it, and finally concluded that the brewed pot of medicine was non-toxic.

Several imperial doctors looked at each other and planned to take the second step of tasting the medicine. At this moment, Queen Murong came again with the palace maids and eunuchs.

"Wangchen, it's up to you to try this medicine. Don't worry, mother."

"Yes, Queen Mother." After so many years, Chu Wangchen has never refused anything the Queen asked him to do, because he had no right to choose.

Gu Suyue wanted to stop it, but the medicine was poisonous. Chu Wangchen was already in poor health. If he took this medicine, it would be even more harmful to him.

But when she thought about Chu Wangchen's rejection of her kindness just now, and the fact that she was in a difficult situation now, she finally said nothing.

Queen Murong was afraid that the medicine would not be effective, so she watched Chu Wangchen drink a small bowl of medicine before she smiled with satisfaction.

The doctors at the Imperial Hospital could not bear it anymore. The prince Chu Wangchen felt so aggrieved. He was obviously so outstanding and outstanding, but he had to be treated like this just because he had a bad background. It was really unfair.

After observing for half an hour and seeing that Chu Wangchen was fine, the queen ordered someone to feed Chu Jinhong the decoction just now.

Chu Wangchen himself was not in good health, but he still insisted on staying by Chu Jinhong's bedside. In the main hall of Kunning Palace, Zhao Xuan respectfully knelt on one knee and returned to life.

"Your Majesty, when my subordinates rushed there, Li Youwei and the Nanchen Kingdom soldiers she brought had already disappeared."

After hearing Zhao Xuan's report, Queen Murong slapped the table angrily, "How could this happen?"

"My subordinates have led people to investigate for a long time, but there are still no clues."

After Queen Murong's initial anger passed, she calmed down. She paced back and forth in front of Zhao Xuan, thinking about countermeasures.

"Axuan, could it be Chu Wangchen's fault?"

"Probably not. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has indeed gained a high prestige over the years, but he has no real power. If he wants to get Li Youwei and others away without anyone noticing, he doesn't have the ability yet."

"That means they are hiding. You continue to send people to investigate, and you must find Li Youwei for me."

"Yes, my dear, don't worry."

"Well, back off."

After Zhao Xuan left, Queen Murong smashed a delicate and expensive tea cup. She had a bad feeling that everything seemed to be out of control.

Chu Jinhong took three doses of medicine in succession. After taking the third dose, his eyes slowly opened.

The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting in front of the bed rushed to inform the emperor and queen.

When they arrived, Chu Jinhong was staring at the tent ceiling in a daze.

"Hong, you finally woke up. Do you know how worried your mother is about you?"

Queen Murong rushed to the bedside and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Chu Jinhong turned to her with dull eyes, "Who are you?"

Emperor Dongzhou said one step behind Queen Murong and happened to hear his words.

"Hong, do you know my father?"

Chu Jinhong shook his head blankly, "What is Father?"

Queen Murong was so frightened that she stopped crying, "Your Majesty, what's going on? Why doesn't Ah Hong recognize anyone?"

Everyone present had a suspicion in their minds that the eldest prince seemed to have lost his memory, but looking at his dull eyes, it seemed that it was not as simple as losing his memory.

Emperor Dongzhou hurriedly asked Chu Jinhong a few more simple questions, such as what his name was, how old he was, and whether he was a boy or a girl, but Chu Jinhong couldn't answer any of them.

Emperor Dongzhou looked at Gu Suyue angrily, "You said you would cure his disease, why is he so stupid now?"

Gu Suyue was also confused. According to her medical skills, Chu Jinhong shouldn't be like this. What went wrong.

"Your Majesty, Queen, please don't get excited. I'll take his pulse first."

Queen Murong gave up her seat next to the bed, but stared at Gu Suyue angrily.

"If something goes wrong with my son, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Gu Suyue scolded Queen Murong half to death in her heart, but she had to quickly find a way to recover Chu Jinhong.

After Gu Suyue's careful inspection, she finally discovered sadly that Chu Jinhong's brain was damaged and could not be recovered. From now on, he could only live like this stupidly.

Seeing that Gu Suyue never said anything, Queen Murong became anxious, "What's going on?"

Gu Suyue knew very well that if she told the truth, she would probably be executed immediately, so she had to stabilize them first.

"Queen, don't worry. The eldest prince's condition is only temporary. I'll give him a few more medicines and he'll be back to normal soon."
