After the old emperor finished making his arrangements, he looked at the prince. His eyes were filled with guilt, "Jingze, how are your injuries? Has the poison been cured?"

"Father, are you okay? My injuries are healed. The poison has not been cured, and Qiqi has suppressed it." Zhou Jingze replied.

"Qiqi, you're back. Why didn't she go to the palace? I miss Qiqi a little bit."

"Father, the assassination of the Fourth Prince was solved by her and Master. They didn't let me participate because I was injured."

"Okay, okay, Qiqi is the best princess consort I have chosen for you." The old emperor praised himself.

The old emperor also smiled a long-lost smile. "I'll let Qiqi enter the palace at dawn. In front of all the civil and military officials, I'll reward her. Let's see if they feel guilty. Living in the imperial city means they can't solve anything. They've even brought the case to my head, and I still can't solve the case. It's a waste of their support."

"Father, Qiqi and I are going to find the fourth prince. He has the antidote. Marshal Zhao in the border city was also poisoned by the same poison as me, so he must destroy the antidote. I'm fine, Marshal Zhao must give him the antidote." Zhou Jingze said.

"Jingze, go ahead. Detoxify yourself as soon as possible, and your father won't worry about you anymore. Ask the secret guards to send messages to your father frequently, so your father will be relieved to know that you are safe. This is a night pearl for Qiqi, you can use it on the road. Jingze, you must be careful in the future." The old emperor warned.

"Your Majesty, take care." Zhou Jingze said and turned to leave the palace.

Zhou Jingze went to the secret door at night and arrived at his master's room. Yun Jizi was waiting for Zhou Jingze.

"Master, should we go find the fourth prince to prevent him from going to Yin Sect?" Zhou Jingze said.

"Master, there's no rush to cure my poison, but Uncle Qiqi's poison must be cured. He's the Grand Marshal of the Great Zhou Kingdom. The Border City can't do without him."

"Jingze, don't worry. Qiqi and I have already discussed it. We will set off to Yin Sect to find the Sect Master tomorrow. Let's see if he can prepare the antidote. We will take Yin Zhiming with us. Let's rest tonight. Qiqi is too tired." Yun Jizi said.

"Okay, Master, you can take a rest first. I will make some arrangements." Zhou Jingze said and left the master's room.

Zhou Jingze came into his rest room and made a gesture, "Master," said the leader of the secret guards.

"You should arrange more guards to protect our father. No more assassinations can happen. Send secret guards to search for the Fourth Prince and see if they can find his whereabouts. Also send people to protect Qiqi's family. There must not be any mistakes." Zhou Jingze ordered.

"Master, don't worry. I will definitely protect the emperor and Princess Qiqi's family." The leader of the secret guards promised.

Zhou Jingze didn't sleep all night, processing the news sent by the secret guards.

Qiqi woke up early in the morning and quickly got up to wash up. Neither she nor her brother Xie Lei had returned home this time. She hurried to find him. Xie Lei was discussing the Hidden Sect with Wei Wushuang and his sister. They believed the Hidden Sect and the Secret Sect must share information to make up for their respective shortcomings. Qiqi saw the three of them.

"Brother Xie Lei, you should go home first! You have been away for such a long time this time, and your parents, sister-in-law, and nephew all miss you. Don't go to Yin Sect this time, and stay at home to protect your family. Your martial arts skills are the best in the family now, and Brother Yunlei's martial arts skills are not as good as yours now. The Fourth Prince has not been found yet, and he knows that I ruined his plan. I am afraid that he can't take revenge on me, and will come back to take revenge on my family, so I have to be on guard. The Fourth Prince is insidious and cunning. He betrayed our master and even killed his own father. He can do anything. Brother, Qiqi, please protect your family." Qiqi said.

"Qiqi, I'm worried about you. Let me talk to my family. Can you go home with me to see your parents?" Xie Lei said.

"Brother, I'm not going back. My parents might see me and be reluctant to let me go. Just tell me a white lie." Qiqi finished speaking and handed Xie Lei a few spiritual fruits. "These are for my parents and sisters-in-law. They want them to have good health. Give them to them."

Qiqi hurried to find her master and Zhou Jingze. The secret guards had already harnessed the carriages and were waiting at the door. Qiqi, her master, and Jingze quickly boarded. The secret guards drove two carriages down the street.

This was the first time Qiqi hadn't visited her parents, and she felt a little guilty towards them. "Mom and Dad, I'll spend more time with you next time I come back."

Qiqi had asked Yin Zhiming, and he told her that the Yin Sect was located near Yuncheng, where her eldest sister-in-law's family lived. There was a mountain called Yufeng Mountain, and the Yin Sect's main gate was located there. Zhou Jingze gave Qiqi the night-shining pearl her father had given her.

"Wow, such a big night pearl. Thank you, Your Majesty." Qiqi bowed towards the palace.

Qiqi sent the injured Zhou Jingze and her master into the space, and she sat in the car to practice.

Qiqi brought Yin Zhiming along as well. He was in the car at the back, watched by secret guards.

Qiqi and the others had been gone for two days and hadn't received any news from the secret guards. The Fourth Prince had simply vanished.

Qiqi and the others walked to a small town, rested in a small restaurant in the town, and ordered a few dishes.

"Brother, have you heard? There are many wild boars coming down from the mountains ten kilometers away from the town to eat crops. The villagers took sticks to scare the wild boars away, but many wild boars were not afraid of the villagers at all, and they bit the villagers." said a big brother at the next table.

"I also heard that the government sent people to kill wild boars, and posted a notice offering a reward of one or two taels of silver for each wild boar killed. Many people came to kill wild boars. For some reason, more and more wild boars ran out of the forest. It was like a wild boar den had been poked. Thousands of wild boars were so hungry that they ate the crops of the people living around the forest. Several government officials were also injured. I heard that the government reported it, but there is still no good solution." said an uncle.

"What should we do? The government is afraid of harming more people, so they've helped relocate all the villagers near the forest. I don't know what's in the forest, but the wild boars are so scared that they're running out in droves, destroying the people's crops. The crops around the forest are almost gone."

Qiqi heard it and looked at Master and Brother Jingze.

"Master, let's spend the night in the small town. Tomorrow we will go to the edge of the forest to see how ferocious the wild boars are that even the government can't defeat. They have hurt many people." Qiqi said.

"Qiqi, I'll do whatever you say. Let's go and take a look tomorrow. Let's eat quickly! The food is getting cold." Yun Jizi said.

Zhou Jingze didn't say anything and looked like he was thinking about something.

Early in the morning, Qiqi and her friends asked the restaurant owner where the wild boar infestation was. The owner pointed to a dirt road and said, "It's ten kilometers down this road. Don't go there. Wild boars can hurt people. You can take a detour."

After asking, Qiqi ordered the secret guards to drive the two carriages along the dirt road. The shopkeeper saw this and sighed.

Zhou Jingze's wound has healed, too. Qiqi removed the stitches yesterday. The wound is healing well. Qiqi warned him not to overexert himself for the next few days. Be careful not to open the wound.

Soon their carriage arrived at the edge of the forest. Qiqi and the others got off the carriage and asked the secret guard to drive the carriage away to prevent wild boars from coming and scaring the horses.

Qiqi, Master, and Jingze slowly walked towards the edge of the forest. Qiqi took Jingze into the space.

Qiqi and his master used their Qinggong skills to fly up. When they saw a big tree, they flew up to it. They saw that the rice seedlings not far away had been gnawed bare by wild boars, who were grazing in groups on the crops.

There were wild boars everywhere. Qiqi wondered if she could tame them so that her uncle and his army could feed them and they wouldn't have to buy meat.

"Master, I want these wild boars, tame them, and give them to my uncle and his military camp. Do you think it's okay?" Qiqi asked.

"Qiqi, sure, how do you tame it?"
