Luo Qinghan's lips pursed slightly.

He should have known earlier that his mother didn't care whether he was poisoned at all, or whether his life was good or bad.

All she cares about is the position of the prince.

Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes, hiding the emotional changes in his eyes, and said submissively, "My son has already sent someone to investigate, and there will be results soon."

Empress Qin looked at him indifferently: "Can there be results tomorrow?"

"can."

"You were brought up by Ben Gong. How much effort Ben Gong has put into you, you know in your own heart, don't let Ben Gong down, you know?"

"My son knows."

"Go back."

"Mother, please have a good rest, the son will retire."

This is the end of the mother-son conversation.

There was not even a single word of ordinary greetings throughout the whole process. It was cold and cold, giving people the illusion that they were not a living person, but an object.

After leaving the Jiaofang Hall, Luo Qinghan exhaled slowly, as if to spit out all the cold air he had just inhaled.

He returned to the East Palace and asked people to call all his confidants.

Eunuch Chang reminded in a low voice, "Your Highness, you haven't had lunch yet, do you want to have it first?"

"No, I'm not hungry."

The crown prince's position may seem like a beauty, but in fact it is very risky.

As the prince, he should let more people see his talents, but he can't get too close to the courtiers, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the father and the emperor.

Therefore, there are not many people under Luo Qinghan's hands that can be used. In addition to the Prince Taishi, the Prince Taifu, and the Prince Taibao who taught him knowledge, there are also the Prince Young Master, the Prince Shaofu, the Prince Shaobao, and the commander of the Yulin Army. Zhao Xian and Nie Changping, the king of the small county.

The first seven people are all tied to the same boat with the prince. They have common interests and must stand on the side of the prince.

Only the small county king, Nie Changping, was different. He was able to stand in the prince's camp entirely out of the friendship he grew up with.

He and Luo Qinghan are very good friends.

In order to find out the truth of the poisoning as soon as possible, Luo Qinghan called them all to the East Palace.

Because of his old age, the prince and the master are not in good health, and are often sick, and have rarely entered the palace recently. He didn't come today, but he let his eldest son come, which can be regarded as showing his attitude of supporting the prince.

A group of people discussed the matter in the study.

Knowing that the queen asked the prince to find out the results tomorrow, Nie Changping couldn't help but click his tongue.

"The Empress has really high standards and strict requirements for Her Royal Highness as always."

The Prince's Grand Master said, "This shows that the Empress is very important to Her Royal Highness."

Nie Changping sneered and dismissed it.

He has played with Luo Qinghan since he was a child, and he knows things about Luo Qinghan very well. The Empress Qin seemed to have high hopes for Luo Qinghan, but in fact, she just wanted to use Luo Qinghan to gain the crown prince.

Luo Qinghan's biological mother died when he was very young, and he was sent to Jiaofangdian to be raised by Queen Qin.

In the early years, Empress Qin was injured due to miscarriage, and she could no longer conceive and bear children. It happened that Luo Qinghan lost his biological mother, and he was helpless in this harem, and could only live by relying on her, so she tried her best to train Luo Qinghan and help him win the crown of prince.

To put it bluntly, the two of them are just using each other's relationship.

Luo Qinghan is listening to Zhao Xian's report on his work.

"My subordinates have already checked. It's not the wine that is poisoned, but the wine glass. The wine glass has been painted with poison, so the wine poured out of the same wine jug is only your glass of wine poisonous."

In other words, even if the eldest prince didn't come to pour wine for Luo Qinghan last night, as long as Luo Qinghan drinks, he will be poisoned.

The tossing of the eldest prince was purely for others.
