88: They looked at each other speechlessly.

"Mother, don't cry, Yuer is fine!"

Nangong Yu gently patted his mother's jade-like back, comforting her softly.

"Alright!" Shangguan Yuexi quickly wiped away her tears, revealing a smile. "Mother isn't crying, Mother is just too happy."

Although Shangguan Yuexi said this, her arms holding Nangong Yu remained tight.

She held Nangong Yu in her embrace, sitting on the bed, and asked, "Yuer, did you come into contact with anyone today?"

Nangong Yu shook his head, "Today, after I woke up and had breakfast, I was bored, so I went to the attic for a while. I didn't come into contact with anyone else!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Yuexi's delicate brows furrowed, feeling that something was amiss.

At this moment, Ji Ziyu sat down, "What did Yuer eat today?"

Nangong Yu thought for a moment and said, "Only breakfast, I suppose. Oh, and I ate a Azure Nether Fruit and half a carrot in the kitchen."

"Azure Nether Fruit? Carrot?"

Shangguan Yuexi was stunned, and then her heart skipped a beat. "Yuer, did you remember incorrectly? How could there be carrots in the kitchen?"

Carrots are just common items. The meals she and Nangong Yu ate were medicinal cuisines; there should rarely be common items!

Could it be that the Prince's Residence servants were greedy and brought them from the outer courtyard kitchen?

Nangong Yu scratched his head, "I didn't remember incorrectly. It's just that the carrot wasn't tasty, so I bit it once and spat it out."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Ziyu and the other person exchanged glances, vaguely guessing what had happened.

Ji Ziyu turned to look outside the door and said, "Cui Zhu, summon Imperial Physician Zhang."

"Yes, Empress Dowager!"

Before long, Imperial Physician Zhang arrived.

He glanced at the three of them, and as he lowered his head, his gaze couldn't help but show confusion. These three seemed fine, why was he called over?

Wait, the Little Prince is awake. Could it be for a follow-up examination?

Imperial Physician Zhang didn't think much and bowed slightly, saying, "Greetings to the Empress Dowager! Greetings to the Grand Consort of Zhenbei! Greetings to the Little Prince!"

"Rise!"

Ji Ziyu waved her hand, looked at Imperial Physician Zhang, and said, "This Dowager Empress asks you, is this blindness poison difficult to refine?"

Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head slightly, "Replying to the Empress Dowager, this blindness poison is not difficult to refine. One only needs to extract and mix the medicinal properties of Azure Nether Fruit and Harmonious Nether Ginseng. Even a low-ranking poison master can do it."

"Harmonious Nether Ginseng?"

Ji Ziyu and Shangguan Yuexi exchanged glances, a hint of bitter laughter in their eyes.

Shangguan Yuexi's red lips parted slightly, "Imperial Physician Zhang, what would happen if one ate an Azure Nether Fruit and then bit into a Harmonious Nether Ginseng?"

"Most likely nothing would happen, but there is a certain possibility of suffering mild..."

Imperial Physician Zhang answered without thinking, but then he noticed something and couldn't help but look up slightly, "Grand Consort, are you saying that the Little Prince ate these two things?"

"Possibly!!"

Shangguan Yuexi's expression was complex. What carrot? It was very likely Harmonious Nether Ginseng!

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Zhang also couldn't help but smile bitterly. So, what had alarmed the entire Imperial Hospital was just because the Prince of Zhenbei accidentally ate two Spirit Medicine?

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Ji Ziyu shook her head slightly, "Cui Zhu, go ask His Majesty what he has found. Go to the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence kitchen and see if there are any Azure Nether Fruit and Harmonious Nether Ginseng, these two Spirit Medicine?"

"Understood!"

Cui Zhu agreed and quickly walked out.

Nangong Yu watched her leave but didn't say much, as Ying Mei had already handled it.

Some of the servants in the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence who had seen him this morning were hypnotized by Ying Mei, and a memory was reasonably added to them. In short, it was a clue that Nangong Yu had been to the kitchen.

Moreover, the evidence he mentioned must still be in the kitchen. These are easy to find!

Ji Ziyu turned to look at Imperial Physician Zhang, "You may return for now. I will summon you if needed!"

"As you command!"

Imperial Physician Zhang bowed slightly, exited the room, and turned to leave.

Only Shangguan Yuexi and the other two remained in the room. The two of them looked at Nangong Yu, their expressions somewhat speechless.

Ji Ziyu looked at Shangguan Yuexi, "Yuer is already four years old. Send him to the Supervision Office. Other things can wait, but he should at least learn a little about medicine and poison, to know the properties of various Spirit Medicine."

Hearing this, Shangguan Yuexi did not object, "I will send him tomorrow!"

Nangong Yu blinked, seemingly aware that he had done something wrong, and remained silent, just leaning quietly in Shangguan Yuexi's arms.

After a long while.

Nangong Aotian and Cui Zhu walked in, both looking at Nangong Yu with speechless expressions.

Nangong Aotian looked at Ji Ziyu, "It's been investigated. Many people in the Prince's Residence saw Yuer go to the kitchen. The two on-duty personnel in the kitchen also saw him enter, but they dared not stop him, nor dared to look too much."

"No one expected that he would eat things indiscriminately, which led to the poisoning!"

Nangong Aotian said this, then looked at Shangguan Yuexi helplessly, "Yuexi, you should still send him to the Supervision Office. There, he can systematically learn some common knowledge about Cultivating."

"Brother, Mother just told me. I will send Yuer there tomorrow!"

Shangguan Yuexi nodded, not refusing.

"Mm!"

Nangong Aotian nodded, sat down, drank a cup of tea, and then left.

Shangguan Yuexi chatted with Ji Ziyu for a couple of sentences, then took Nangong Yu and left. They still had to go back and prepare to send Nangong Yu tomorrow!

Walking on the way back to the Prince's Residence.

Shangguan Yuexi said, "Yuer, do you want to go to the Supervision Office? If you don't want to go, Mother won't send you. I'll invite two Instructors over for you, how about that?"

Nangong Yu heard this, but shook his head slightly, "Mother, Yuer will go and see. Sooner or later, I'll have to learn some things. If Yuer goes to the Supervision Office, Mother can also Cultivate well during the daytime!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Yuexi shook her head, "Mother's cultivation is enough for now. Mother actually wants to spend more time with Yuer."

Nangong Yu held her hand and smiled, "There will be plenty of time in the future. As long as Mother doesn't dislike or get tired of me, Yuer can stay with Mother forever."

"No!" Shangguan Yuexi shook her head, tightly gripping Nangong Yu's small hand, "How could Mother dislike you? Even if I stay with Yuer for a lifetime, Mother would never get tired!"

"Mother said that, you know? You have to stay with Yuer for a lifetime, not dislike Yuer, and never get tired of life with Yuer!"

Nangong Yu's small face was full of smiles, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking very happy.

"Never!" Shangguan Yuexi smiled slightly, and said firmly, "Never ever!"

"Hehe!"

Nangong Yu chuckled, holding Shangguan Yuexi's hand, his steps becoming much lighter.

Before long, the two returned to the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence.

But before they even entered the gate, Nangong Yu suddenly paused, his gaze fixed in the direction of the west side of the city.
