Several imperial physicians shook their heads. This infertility medicine could be prepared by any doctor with a bit of skill; it's just that everyone's habits of using the medicine were different, and the dosage was also different.

They couldn't reveal this, otherwise everyone present would become a suspect.

"How could you not be able to find it? You can all solve it."

Rong Ruiyuan was very aggressive, and he almost didn't come to the hospital. If it weren't for the problem with Gu Antong, he wouldn't have needed to see the imperial physician.

If he hadn't had his suspicions and asked the imperial physicians to examine him, his life would have been over in a month or two.

If someone manages to drug you right under your nose, others will only think you're incompetent.

Without a son, which minister would be willing to stand on my side?

Even my father, the emperor, will probably never look at me with the same respect again.

Her suspicions about her other brothers deepened, and she immediately looked at the emperor with a wronged expression, "Father, who is so cruel? This time they gave me such a drug, will they try to kill me next time?"

If the other party were any bolder, then this Rong Dynasty…

Rong Ruiyuan stopped when he should have, but his unfinished business only fueled the emperor's suspicions.

No one wants such an unpredictable person hiding in their life, so the emperor immediately ordered an investigation, a thorough one.

After drinking a large bowl of bitter medicine, Rong Ruiyuan felt increasingly uneasy. He had rarely eaten out recently, at most drinking tea. If someone wanted to put medicine in tea, he was sure that with his alertness, he would have noticed.

That means it's in the backyard. This is his own residence. If it's so unsafe, how can he feel at ease in the future?

He summoned his trusted confidant and asked, "How's the investigation going?"

"Your Highness, nothing unusual has been found. Our men are currently investigating in the main kitchen."

The person who answered was on tenterhooks; this was completely clueless and probably wouldn't be so easy.

Rong Ruiyuan suddenly thought of Gu Antong's chubby face. He used to think that her body was plump and felt nice to touch, but as she got fatter and fatter, he realized that something was wrong.

"How is Consort Gu doing? What did the imperial physicians say? Can her poison be cured?" Rong Ruiyuan finally remembered Gu Antong at this moment. Only the two of them in the mansion were poisoned, which indirectly helped clear her of suspicion.

After all, no woman would willingly ruin her image. Losing the royal family's favor would undoubtedly mean certain death. Any intelligent person would not do something that would destroy their future.

"The imperial physician said that the medicine for the concubine is a bit different. It could be called poison, but it's not quite. It won't affect her life, but it will make her body increasingly obese."

Rong Ruiyuan: "Whose work is this?"

It would be profitable for his brothers to deal with him, but what influence could a concubine have on them?
Could it be that he was holding a grudge against Gu Baijiang for handing over some silver to him, which led to Gu Antong's downfall?
That doesn't make sense either. Because of Gu Antong's Chinese medicine, he had to examine himself, so the medicine wasn't administered by one person.

Rong Ruiyuan narrowed his eyes. "Investigate the backyard of our mansion, and don't overlook the main wife's side as well."

The confidant looked up at Rong Ruiyuan and asked, "Your Highness suspects..." "I suspect that the medicine we used was not administered by the same person, but I will not allow anyone with malicious intentions to exist in my backyard."

Gu Antong had indirectly saved him, so he decided to investigate thoroughly. If the mastermind was one of the women in his harem, whether she was the principal wife or a concubine, he wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless.

The trusted confidant readily agreed and hurried off to handle the matter.

The Third Prince's suspicions are quite plausible, after all, the concubine only has some grudges with those people in the inner courtyard.

Fortunately, it was because of Gu Antong's illness that the Third Prince's poisoning had a chance to be saved; otherwise, there would have been no chance at all, and those who followed him would not have fared much better.

The Third Prince's faction began to stir, eager to capture the mastermind behind it all.

The entire backyard of the Third Prince's residence was in chaos. Before, they were watching Gu Antong's misfortune, but now they were only thinking about how to protect themselves.

This large group of people kept coming and going, searching tirelessly every day. Even the Third Prince's Consort could only swallow her anger.

The news about Rong Ruiyuan Traditional Chinese Medicine was not concealed, nor could it be concealed at all.

Sure enough, he had barely returned to his residence and hadn't even taken his medicine when the other princes arrived, ostensibly to visit their brother, but really just to watch the spectacle and to show their stance that this matter had nothing to do with them.

Rong Ruiyuan was furious and didn't want to get entangled with them, because he now saw everyone as the murderer who had harmed him.

However, one of the advisors was right: the emperor is watching, so even if he is furious, he has to act like a brother.

After welcoming the man into the mansion, the eldest prince, Rong Ruixue, patted Rong Ruiyuan on the shoulder earnestly, "Third brother, you have really suffered. It's just a pity that you will have to waste another two years. When your knees are empty, I will have your nephews and nieces come to keep you company, as a way to show filial piety on behalf of your future nephews and nieces."

“What elder brother says makes sense,” the second prince Rong Ruishi also looked at Rong Ruiyuan with curiosity, especially lingering his eyes on his crotch area. “I heard from the imperial physician that the third brother will be practicing Buddhism with his hair still intact for the next two years. I will have someone send some Buddhist scriptures over later. He should cultivate his character properly so that he can have children for Father Emperor as soon as possible.”

Rong Ruiyuan clenched his fist, enduring it again and again before finally managing to keep it from flying.

Turning to look at the fourth brother, Rong Ruibo, who was about to speak, he saw him smile shyly, "Third brother, I heard you were sick, so my mother specially asked me to send you some tonics. This is the gift list."

Rong Ruiyuan's expression softened slightly upon hearing this; finally, there was someone who was relatively easy to manage and even knew to give him gifts.

"Fourth brother is the most considerate," Rong Ruiyuan patted his shoulder approvingly. He didn't know when it started, but Rong Ruibo had actually become his equal. The boy who used to be a kid had become his rival.

Rong Ruibo said, "I'm glad you like it, Third Brother. If you need anything, I'll have someone send you more next time."

Rong Ruiyuan was about to be polite, but when he opened the gift list, he regretted that the gifts weren't in front of him. Otherwise, he would have shoved them in the other person's face. What kind of things were these gifts?
He squeezed out the words through gritted teeth, "Then there's no need for you to trouble yourself, Fourth Brother. Your brother can afford these supplements."

The eldest prince was a little curious. He felt that none of his younger brothers were easy to deal with, so how could there be an anomaly who would be so kind as to give gifts to the third prince?

But when he saw what was on it, his eyes widened immediately; he realized it could be done this way.

The second prince glanced at his son and finally couldn't help but laugh, clutching his stomach. "Fourth prince, this gift you gave is really good. You are so thoughtful."

"Brother, I need to learn from you. I'll prepare some for the third brother too; after all, we're brothers." (End of Chapter)
