Three days later, the whole city of Kyoto was under martial law, and the imperial guards cleared the way. The roads from the city gate to the palace gate were blocked for civilians to pass. His Majesty's carriage had a smooth journey, and after entering the palace gate, he drove straight to the Yangxin Hall of Chengde Palace without stopping.

In Prince Rui's mansion, Old Man Xin was woken up from his sleep by Chu Yi. He was so angry that he had no place to vent and almost knocked him out by taking the medicine.

"Old Master, please show some mercy." Chu Yi made his purpose clear in his words. "The prince invites you to the palace. The prince said that if you have any anger, you can go to the palace to vent it. The one in the palace is dying again."

"What if he's dying? What does it have to do with me if he dies?" Old man Xin started to curse, "You little bastard, you only know how to order me around."

Although he was reluctant, Old Man Xin still got on the carriage from the palace. No one dared to offend the Du Gong who came into the palace in a bad mood, and he went straight into Chengde Palace without even being summoned.

Xiao Ke originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack, but after meeting old man Xin's murderous gaze, he became cowardly and hid behind the old prime minister to reduce his presence.

When the imperial doctors saw Du Gong, they felt like they had seen a savior and quickly made way for him.

"Please ask Lord Du to treat your majesty."

When Old Man Xin saw these imperial doctors, he was furious. "When I left, I handed over a living person to you. It has only been a short time, and you have made him look half-dead again."

The imperial doctors did not dare to say a word in rebuttal. They felt wronged. When Li Cairen brought the cakes that night, the imperial doctors who served His Majesty had tested them to be non-toxic. The others were sent away by His Majesty before they had a chance to check. Who would have thought that Li Cairen was so bold as to put drugs in the cakes His Majesty was eating. Although they were non-toxic, they could still kill him.

After the old man vented his anger, Xiao Yun finally said, "Well, let's treat His Majesty first!"

"You little brat, and you too." Old Man Xin's finger was almost touching Xiao Yun's nose. "I'm telling you, if it happens again, I promise you won't be able to find me for the rest of your life."

If it wasn't for that matter, he really wouldn't have planned to come to the capital. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the capital, the old guy almost died again, and he didn't want him to die so easily.

Xiao Yun pressed his finger down and said with a smile, "Yes, this won't happen again."

His relaxed response was in stark contrast to the fear of others. Xiao Ke saw it and hated it in his heart. They were both princes, so why was he, Xiao Yun, so lucky? The tide of jealousy almost drowned him.

Old Man Xin thought that he must charge something practical for the consultation fee this time, so he went forward to check Emperor Wu De's pulse. His hand paused while checking the pulse, and he looked back at Xiao Yun. This was not a relapse of an old disease induced by aphrodisiacs, this was simply poisoning. After taking it, it looked like taking aphrodisiacs, but in fact it could induce various old diseases in the human body.

Brat, you really don't show any mercy to your own father, just looking for trouble for him. Old man Xin glared at Xiao Yun fiercely.

Xiao Yun smiled and raised his eyebrows at him, and asked hypocritically: "How is your majesty?"

"Don't you know what's going on?" Old Man Xin said unhappily, "If it's a few days later, his life would be over."

All the ministers were shocked when they heard this, and secretly thanked themselves for not following the old prime minister's idea. Otherwise, they would have missed the opportunity to go back and forth from the Summer Resort to the capital, and might not even be able to invite the Poison Lord. After two experiences, everyone realized that except His Royal Highness Prince Rui, no one could invite this bad-tempered old man.

"Except for the people from the Imperial Hospital, all the other irrelevant people, get out of here and vent your anger. Don't get in my way here." After saying that, he glared at Xiao Yun again, "And you, get out of here."

"Yes, we'll leave now. Your Majesty's safety is in your hands." After Xiao Yun finished speaking, he was the first to walk out. The others did not dare to stay and endure the wrath of Lord Du, so they also retreated.

In the evening, Xiao Yun returned to Prince Rui's Mansion with a serious face, "Hurry up and ask Nighthawk Sixteen to come see me."

As soon as he stepped into the study, Nighthawk Sixteen came right after him and knelt on one knee: "Nighthawk Sixteen greets His Majesty."

"Get up and get down to business."

Nighthawk Sixteen stood up and handed over the brocade box he had been carrying on his back. "Pingyang County has taken back a token. Inside is a handwritten letter from the shopkeeper. Please have a look, Your Majesty."

When Xiao Yun opened the brocade box and saw the token inside, Nighthawk Sixteen clearly felt the atmosphere around him suddenly become cold, which showed that his master was angry.

Nighthawk Sixteen was originally a secret guard of Prince Rui's Palace. Later, he turned from secret to public and used the alias Zhou Yin to work for Zhou Huan, who was in charge of the secret industries of Prince Rui's Palace.

As for Zhou's Trading Company, its owner is Zhou Huan on the surface, but secretly it is actually the property of Prince Rui's Mansion.

Xiao Yun opened Zhou Huan's handwritten letter with a gloomy face. When he finished reading the contents of the letter, his expression turned from gloomy to bright.

"Hmph! The Wan family, a mere family, can't do anything to him." There seemed to be a hint of pride in his tone.

He was able to remain calm even when facing a vicious killer, so how could he easily allow himself to be bullied by a small rich dandy boy?

"Who exactly is that Hang Tongsheng?" Zhou Yin was really curious. From the tone of his master's voice, it seemed that he thought highly of Hang Tongsheng.

Chu Yi came in and handed a letter to Xiao Yun, "Your Majesty, this is a letter sent by express horse from Tanzhou Prefecture." Before he finished speaking, Chu Yi glanced at the opened brocade box from the corner of his eye, and his face changed slightly, "Your Majesty, this is not..." He was the one who put up this sign himself.

"Yes, it's that piece." Xiao Yun took the letter from Chu Yi and opened it. Unexpectedly, there was another letter inside. It was in Zhou Huan's handwriting. He opened that letter first to read it.

Chu Yi stepped aside and stood side by side with Zhou Yin. He turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Did something happen to the Hang family?" Based on his shallow understanding of the Hang couple, he knew that they would never use the sign unless it was absolutely necessary.

Seeing that he seemed to be very familiar with the Hang family, Zhou Yin paused for a moment. It was good to be with the master. He could know everything before others. Before Zhou Yin could speak, Xiao Yun, who was at the head of the group, burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha! This king knew that the Wan family, a mere family, could not do anything to that person.”

Zhou Yin guessed that something serious must have happened there after he left Pingyang County.

"Take a look!" Xiao Yun did not hide it from them. He walked down and handed the letter to them.

Zhou Yin was quick-witted and took the letter. He recognized Zhou Huan's handwriting at a glance and was shocked after reading the contents of the letter.

"The Wan family collapsed?" He was a little bit unbelievable. "Did Hang Tongsheng do it?"

Chu Yi squeezed in and read the letter about Hang Shuheng's deeds, and said with a smile: "As expected of Master Hang."
