The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 93 - Careful Arrangements

"Does Your Majesty have something to say to me?"

"You are indeed clever."

The Emperor smiled at Lin Wanyi's intelligent and graceful demeanor, then spoke seriously.

"This afternoon, the momo responsible for taking care of the Second Prince committed suicide. The Second Prince fainted and Physician Dou discovered that he has been poisoned for at least two years."

"What?"

Lin Wanyi was extremely shocked.

Her first thought was, who did it?

Lin Guifei? Yi Fei?

Or someone else?

To poison a child not yet six years old for such a long time, one can imagine how ruthless that person must be.

The people in this palace, on the surface, live a glamorous life, envied by all.

But behind the scenes, it's either ruthless actions or endless suffering.

Thinking of the Second Prince's appearance at noon, Lin Wanyi sighed deeply.

"Did  Physician Dou say what kind of poison it is? Is there an antidote?"

The Emperor shook his head.

"He hasn't found out yet, but the poison is administered in small doses each time, probably to slowly erode the Second Prince's body, making others think he died of a weak constitution."

As he spoke, the Emperor's broad back seemed to soften.

Lin Wanyi felt a bit of pity as she watched.

So she stepped forward to comfort him.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. Since Physician Dou could detect the poisoning, given time, he will surely find an antidote."

Although she said this, Lin Wanyi was not very confident.

After all, the Second Prince's body was already weak, and he had been poisoned for so long. His body might not withstand such torment.

She suddenly thought of her second uncle.

He had some expertise in poisoning and detoxification, but unfortunately, how could a common physician have the chance to treat a noble prince?

So she dismissed the thought.

The Emperor did not respond much to her words.

Instead, he spoke of something else.

"I have a wet nurse named Du Momo. She took great care of me when I was young, so I plan to have her personally take care of the Second Prince. As for the people around him, they will all be sent to the Cold Palace."

Hearing this, Lin Wanyi felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

"Your Majesty, rashly dealing with so many people around the Second Prince might arouse suspicion. Since Your Majesty has sent the Second Prince away to discuss this with me, it seems the Second Prince is still in the dark. If you make such a big change around him, the Second Prince will surely notice."

"If this stimulates his condition, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

The Emperor closed his eyes, acknowledging the reason in Lin Wanyi's words.

But with the head nanny dead, investigating the remaining ones would also be troublesome.

"What do you think?"

"With the head nanny gone, it is appropriate to send Du Momo to serve the Second Prince. As for the other attendants, let Du Momo find reasons to send them away."
