Xiao Heng sat in the study all night, and at midnight, the secret guards came to report that the prescription had been verified. Ten palace doctors and imperial physicians were consulted, all of whom said that it was a modified formula based mainly on antiemetic drugs, with unfamiliar herbs removed. The imperial hospital confirmed that after returning from the hunting grounds, His Majesty had asked them for the antiemetic prescription.

Ironclad evidence was laid out in front of Xiao Heng, all pointing to one speculation: Chu Zhaoyou learned of her pregnancy at the hunting grounds, and upon returning, she hurriedly discussed marriage with Lady Zhao to cover up the truth. Xiao Heng overheard this conversation and threatened Chu Zhaoyou not to marry and have children. By chance, his threat hit the mark, as Chu Zhaoyou began hiding her pregnancy from him and planned to stay in the imperial tomb for six months until giving birth, knowing that the Regent Prince did not want to set foot in the imperial tomb.

A sarcastic smile tugged at Xiao Heng's lips. Chu Zhaoyou was indeed clever, using the Regent Prince's aversion to the late emperor to his advantage. Xiao Heng couldn't help but recall Chu Zhaoyou's disappearance from the palace, exploiting his disdain for actors to leave the palace openly. The only two sources of his pain had all become Chu Zhaoyou's vulnerable points.

There was no one else in the world who dared to repeatedly cross the Regent Prince's bottom line like this. What he found most unacceptable was that prescription. When parents love deeply, they plan far ahead. After Chu Zhaoyou had a child, was he also planning to scheme against this prince like the late emperor did? When he was needed, he was a stepping stone, and when he wasn't, he was a stumbling block.

As the weather gradually warmed in early spring, the eastern light arrived earlier than usual. The study transitioned from darkness to dimness, and the night passed in the blink of an eye. When the sparrows outside chirped for the third time, a light knock sounded on the window frame.

"Master, Qin Feichen has been brought here."

"Mm."

In the Regent Prince's mansion dungeon, the flickering firelight illuminated the room. After the political situation stabilized, few prisoners were held here. Representing the pinnacle of power in Great Chu, offending the Regent Prince was often akin to violating the country's laws, leading directly to the Ministry of Justice's penal department.

Qin Feichen woke up from a nap, nearly fainting. He was bound to the torture platform, surrounded by various instruments that changed color before his eyes.

He is only twenty-five this year, with sixty elderly mothers waiting to hold grandchildren, and three hundred and seventy-six young ladies lining up to apologize to him.

He realized that someone had been following him since he came out of the imperial tomb, but the person's whereabouts were hidden, and they did not pose any threat to him. He brainwashed himself into thinking that the Emperor had sent someone to supervise him to atone for his sins, so he could sleep peacefully.

When he woke up from his nap!

"I'd rather sleep longer and not wake up." Qin Feichen began to think about who he had offended.

After much thought, the flower thief still believed that he had been doing good deeds all along.

At the beginning of the month, he enthusiastically took on the honorable role of being a hero!

Yes, after some contemplation, Qin Feichen felt that it was a great honor to serve as the hero for the Emperor, a completely benevolent act for the country and the people.

When he saw the Regent Prince coming in with a stern face, he quickly overturned his previous thoughts.

One must be honest in life, how could one deceive in matters of national importance!
