OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess-Chapter 652: I Understand Now, It Must Have Been Her!

Thirty minutes later.

Yuan Zhen and Yuan Ruxin sat at the table with serious expressions.

They watched the accompanying physician examine the powder residue on the book.

Soon, the physician looked up, his expression heavy: "Princely Heir, the results are in, it’s arsenic."

Yuan Ruxin couldn’t hold back, standing up directly: "What?! There really is poison!"

Yuan Zhen’s handsome eyes were filled with darkness.

He reached out and pulled Yuan Ruxin back to her seat.

He then spoke calmly: "Understood. For now, don’t let this matter spread, you may go now."

"Yes." The physician put the book back on the shelf, packed up his things, and left.

After he left, Yuan Ruxin stared in disbelief and said: "Brother, this book was given to you by the Emperor!"

Yuan Zhen pinched the bridge of his nose, closing his eyes with a complex expression.

Although his father was the Regent King, coveting the throne of the Yan Country.

Yuan Zhen and the recently enthroned little emperor were on extremely good terms, like real brothers.

The little emperor also relied heavily on him and trusted him completely.

Yuan Zhen still remembered clearly when the little emperor handed him the book before his departure. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Brother Zhen, you’re about to go to Great Chu. I know you have always loved reading. Take this ’Mountain Strange Records’ with you to read on the journey, to pass the time."

The term ’Brother Zhen’ was called out with such intimacy.

And the innocent gaze of the little emperor was still vivid in his mind.

No matter what, Yuan Zhen couldn’t believe a six-year-old child could have such meticulous and cruel thoughts.

Who would use Yuan Zhen’s long-standing habits against him to harm him?

If it weren’t for Bai Zhi’er’s warning, Yuan Zhen might have finished the book and died mysteriously the next morning!

Such a scheme was truly terrifying.

Yuan Ruxin gritted her teeth and said: "It must have been the Emperor who did it. Brother is Father’s only son. If something happens to Brother, the chance for Father to seize the throne diminishes!"

After all, for an emperor, offspring are also significant.

The former Emperor was forced to let his six-year-old son ascend the throne due to lack of heirs.

Now, besides his network of influence, the Regent King also has a legitimate adolescent son.

But if Yuan Zhen were gone, even if the Regent King took the throne, any son he had would not be older than the little emperor.

Ministers might prefer to support the little emperor, after all, a young ruler is easier to control.

Yuan Zhen opened his eyes, his gaze complicated.

"Not necessarily, after all, Zhi’er is just a child, what could he understand?"

"Even if he didn’t do it, it must have been someone around him who instigated it! Brother, we should write to Father immediately, let him deal with those courtiers!"

As Yuan Ruxin spoke, she was about to reach for the pen.

"No!" Yuan Zhen reprimanded sharply.

Yuan Ruxin froze in place.

Yuan Zhen instructed: "Father seems to have an advantage, but in reality, it’s like walking on thin ice. Until we uncover the key figure, and since we are not in Yan Country, we cannot act rashly. Let’s wait until we return."

Yuan Ruxin could only swallow her frustration, her eyes still showing some resentment.

Yuan Zhen, deep in thought, remarked: "But today, it was thanks to Cuicuo’s warning that led to today’s caution. I need to find an opportunity to thank her properly."

Suddenly, Yuan Ruxin understood: "Her warning? Brother! I understand now, it must have been her doing! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? How did she know you would be poisoned!"

She couldn’t help clenching her teeth: "She wanted to exploit the warning to gain favor; her mind is truly malicious!"
