After Lu Yuan asked this question, he didn't give Lu Zhaoyan a chance to respond before his vision went black, and he collapsed toward Lu Zhaoyan.
The Imperial Guard stationed at the main entrance twitched his ears, pushed open the door in a single motion, and raised his palm to strike Lu Yuan.
Clearly, he mistook Lu Yuan's sudden collapse as an attack on the Crown Prince.
"Do not harm him!"
Lu Zhaoyan commanded.
The Imperial Guard twisted his wrist, pressing the back of his hand against Lu Yuan's chest, redirecting most of his strength back into his own body.
Simultaneously, he extended his other hand to catch the falling Lu Yuan.
Gazing at Lu Yuan with a complex expression, Lu Zhaoyan asked, "What happened to him?"
The Imperial Guard checked Lu Yuan's breath, listened to his heartbeat, and examined his bones before replying, "He isn't hurt. It seems like he just fainted."
Lu Zhaoyan pressed further, "Could he have been poisoned?"
