The emperor was not told about what happened in the past two days. The prince handled everything himself, so the emperor still thought that he was living in a peaceful and prosperous time. He was actually in the mood to hold a banquet here. Even if the emperor knew what happened, he would not take it to heart, because he would think that these people were just a mob.

"Don't think too much. It's not good for your health. I have just sent the Royal Dragon Guards to Chuncheng to look for Yun'er. If there is any news, I will inform you in advance."

The Dragon Guards are the royal family's exclusive secret guards, all of whom are deployed by the emperor and the crown prince, and these Dragon Guards only obey the orders of the emperor and the crown prince. The secret guards should be more severe than the Zhang family's secret guards, and they should be able to find Zhou Qingyun better.

"Then I will wait for news from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Yun'er has never suffered any hardship. I hope he can hold on until we find him."

The two looked at each other in silence and continued thinking about their own things.

Because it was no longer dark, there was no need to light the lamps, and the feast soon began. After everyone was seated, a eunuch outside shouted:

"The Emperor has arrived..."

Hearing this shout, everyone knelt on the ground in scattered places, except for the prince, who stood forward and bowed. He did not need to kneel directly to greet the emperor.

"I wish our emperor long live long live."

Everyone shouted at the same time, "Long live the emperor." When they heard the words "Long live the emperor," the emperor became more and more certain that he was not a king who had destroyed his country or a tyrant, but a wise ruler who had come to an end. Otherwise, how could he have such a treasure mountain?

"All the nobles, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Today is a family dinner, there is no need for you to be polite, just relax."

After saying this, he picked up the wine glass and raised it to the ministers.

"My dear nobles, today we have discovered a treasure mountain in Qianmen Town. This is a gift from heaven. Let us enjoy the fruits of the treasure mountain together in the future. It has always been the blessing of heaven for our great boat."

Soon, all kinds of flattery started to come from below, saying that the emperor was blessed by God and was the chosen emperor by heaven, and that there was an earthquake two days ago, so the treasure mountain was specially given to make up for the flattery of His Majesty.

The prince almost yawned as he listened to their words, but he covered his mouth with the teacup in time so that no one else noticed. The Crown Princess kept looking at Concubine Zhang with a sinister look. Although this woman looked a little haggard today, she became more and more lovable, and did not have the heroic spirit of a woman born into a family of military generals at all.

Because Concubine Zhang was sitting behind the Crown Prince on his right, and the Crown Princess was sitting on his left, she could only use her peripheral vision to observe what Concubine Zhang was doing.

She really didn't expect that Zhang Qianqian, who had always been under her control, would now turn the tables and dare to go against her directly. She was afraid that she had forgotten how she entered the Eastern Palace. Even if the prince knew what had happened, in the eyes of the world, Concubine Zhang was just a shameless and lowly woman.

The banquet was really boring. It was basically spent in boasting and laughter. The emperor seemed to have been praised so much that he didn't know what year it was. He spent the entire banquet with a smile on his face.

When the banquet was over and the emperor came in, everyone seemed relieved, as they were worried that His Majesty would suddenly punish them.

Naturally, after the emperor left, they all started to drink soup and eat vegetables, and naturally they also drank a lot of wine. They went from being reserved at the beginning to drinking happily now.

After the banquet, the ministers returned home and began to feel pain all over their body, as if ants were biting them. They quickly took their own dressing sheet and went to ask the imperial physician to come to their home for treatment. However, the family servant arrived at the imperial hospital.

Only then did I realize that there were only a few people left in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Only Doctor Liu was on duty and he couldn't move. All the others, even the female doctors, had been asked to leave. After asking around, I learned that all the ministers had been vomiting and having diarrhea today, as if they had been poisoned. However, apart from banquets in the palace, they had not eaten anything else.

The prince was in a bad mood today. Apart from the glass of wine that His Majesty and everyone drank, he did not eat anything, nor did he drink the soup. Therefore, his symptoms were the mildest, with only constant pain in his abdomen. After consulting the imperial physician, he found out that he had been given something cold. However, this medicine did not have much effect on men, it would only cause stomach pain. If a woman drank this medicine, it would most likely cause infertility.

Only then did he remember that the Crown Princess had also drunk a lot of this wine, but Concubine Zhang herself was not in the mood for drinking, so she did not drink the glass of wine. In addition, she was worried about her son, so she was even less in the mood to drink. Now she was bathing and fasting, praying for her son's safety.

The food on her face did not look good because it had been left for a long time. There was no green vegetable, only sticky meat. Naturally, she did not eat anything. She just had a few pieces of cakes to fill her stomach and then came back.

At this time, the Crown Princess was in so much pain in her abdomen that she felt like dying. She sent someone to invite the imperial physician, but he never came back because the Imperial Hospital was so busy that no one came to see the Crown Princess. Those with good medical skills were called into the harem, and those with poor medical skills were taken away by the princes. Nowadays, those who have some medical skills are very popular.

So the Crown Princess could only endure the pain in her body desperately and asked the maid beside her to go out of the palace to find an ordinary doctor. The court physician had been helping the Crown Prince with his treatment in his study, and she had no way to ask for help.

As a result, half an hour later, the maid came back. She then realized that all the doctors in the entire Jinling City had been called away. Every household had someone like her suffering from stomachache, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to have been affected.

So even though she was angry, she had to endure the pain and wait until those doctors finished treating the powerful and wealthy before coming to see her. Now her identity was awkward, and her father was not in Jinling, so she had no way to use force to force those imperial doctors to treat her. Didn't you see that even if the prince had a stomachache, he would just ask the court doctor to treat him, and all the imperial doctors had been asked to leave by those seriously ill families.

No one said they were going to cause trouble for those princes and dukes. After all, those people were almost unable to save their lives.

After five days of sleepless travel, Wang Shiyu and his companions were finally able to see Jianmen Pass from afar. Because Jianmen Pass was close to Beirong Kingdom, the city walls here were built tall and thick, and the city gates were built with heavy iron blocks. But at this time, they found that there were several teams of people near Jianmen Pass, who seemed to be waiting for something, some in the open, and some hiding in the dark.

Those people were dressed in black and looked like martial artists. They seemed to be hired by someone and were waiting for someone here. However, when Wang Shiyu and the others saw these people, they all looked at Zhou Qingyun in silence.
