Everyone returned to the palace banquet hall, singing and dancing began, and the scene was once again harmonious and joyful.

Si Yan shined today, and the officials of Daxuan were proud and in a good mood.

Si Yan returned to his seat, drinking wine and eating food calmly, as if everything that had just happened had never happened.

The emperor looked at Si Yan, who was young but calm and composed, and his eyes were filled with admiration.

At this moment, Di Hao, the special envoy of the Northern Mang Kingdom, spoke again: "Your Majesty, the songs and dances of Daxuan are probably not new to you after watching them so often. Why not take a look at the songs and dances of our Northern Mang Kingdom?"

The emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. What was King Hao of Beimang Kingdom trying to do?

"What's so special about the songs and dances of Beimang Kingdom?" asked the emperor.

Di Hao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, of course there is. Your Majesty will know it at a glance."

"Okay, then let's see what the singing and dancing of Beimang Kingdom are like?" said the emperor.

The Beimang State was located in the northwest of the Central Plains and had a large territory in the north of Daxuan and the west of Yan State.

In the past twenty years, the national strength of Beimang Kingdom has surpassed that of Daxuan in the Central Plains and has risen strongly.

In recent years, the Beimang Kingdom has expanded in all directions, conquering the Xitu Kingdom in the Western Regions and several other small countries to the west. The songs and dances of the Beimang Kingdom have been influenced by the Western Regions and are extremely exotic.

Di Hao clapped his hands, and several dancers from the Beimang Kingdom came forward gracefully, their long sleeves fluttering, their waists as slender as willows, their graceful figures wrapped in thin red gauze, and the snow-white skin on their waists faintly visible, which made people's hearts burn with excitement.

The hall suddenly became lively.

Emperor Daxuan seemed to be in a good mood, but the court officials had mixed feelings and were considering which side they would take in the future.

Prime Minister Xin Rui and the Imperial Noble Consort were preoccupied and had no interest in enjoying the singing and dancing.

Prince Chen Qi Shuoyu had been feeling down lately, and when he saw this beautiful and graceful dancer, he couldn't help but applaud: "Good, good!"

The dancer in the center of the hall was bold and passionate, but she didn't even look at King Chen. As she danced, she jumped next to King Yong.

The dancers circled around Prince Yong's desk, winking at him, their waists twisting like water snakes.

Prince Yong narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strong floral scent came into his nose, causing him to sneeze uncontrollably. He then covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

The dancer then twisted her body, turned back to the center of the hall and continued dancing.

After the dance was over, the dancers around her all withdrew, except for the most beautiful dancer in the middle who stayed.

The dancer knelt before the emperor and saluted: "Wu Wan'er pays respect to Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty good health and a long life."

"Okay, stand up." The emperor said.

Di Hao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Wan'er has admired you for a long time and is willing to stay in the Daxuan Palace to serve you."

emperor:……

He is already old, and there are still young women admiring him?

This girl admires him so much that she jumps around in front of King Yong. This behavior is really strange.

"I am old and I am afraid I don't have the luck to enjoy it." The emperor refused directly.

Di Hao's face was filled with smiles. "Your Majesty, why do you say that? Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and it's time to enjoy life. Wu Wan'er really wants to follow Your Majesty..."

"Okay, I don't need it." Why would he have a spy in the palace? Did he think there weren't enough spies in the palace?

Di Hao tried his best to persuade the Emperor Daxuan: "Your Majesty, I heard that you have been ill recently. Wu Wan'er is a doctor with great medical skills. She can treat you."

When the emperor heard this, he was even more hesitant to use it. If he knew medical skills, he would probably poison her...

His body can't take any more tossing and turning.

The emperor said calmly, "I already have the genius doctor Yunya, so I don't need Miss Wu Wan'er anymore."

The medical skills of the genius doctor Yunya are unparalleled in the world and no one Wu Wan'er can compare to. As for beauty, Wu Wan'er does have some attraction to her, but he has seen too many beauties and is not interested in her now.

When Wu Wan'er heard the emperor repeatedly reject her, tears suddenly fell from her smiling face.

She knelt on the ground, sobbing, looking pitiful: "Your Majesty, do you dislike Wu Wan'er? If you don't want Wu Wan'er, she will die."

"How can there be a dead end?" asked the emperor.

Di Haoyan quickly explained, "Your Majesty, Wu Wan'er is a woman that my emperor has carefully selected. She is a gift to His Majesty the Great Xuan. If His Majesty the Great Xuan refuses this gift, she will die."

The emperor's expression darkened. Was this forcing him to accept Wu Wan'er?

"This is outrageous! Isn't this forcing the Emperor of Daxuan?" Prince An Qi Guang'an stood up and said.

Di Hao said calmly, "Prince An, you don't know that the women of our Beimang Country are strong-willed. Once they set their hearts on someone, they must follow him, otherwise they will commit suicide."

Prince An didn't believe it at all. It was not like he was unfamiliar with the Beimang Kingdom, but he had never heard of this matter.

"If Miss Wu Wan'er truly wanted to follow His Majesty, she wouldn't be acting so awkwardly in front of Prince Yong. Her actions make it difficult to discern her true intentions."

Wu Wan'er raised her tear-filled eyes and said aggrievedly, "Prince An misunderstood. The reason Wu Wan'er danced in front of Prince Yong was because she noticed something strange about his expression. If Wu Wan'er is not mistaken, His Highness Prince Yong has been poisoned."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the main hall.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Prince Yong, and saw that Prince Yong's expression was indeed not very good.

The emperor's expression suddenly darkened, and he immediately ordered, "Please ask the genius doctor Yunya to come over."

The queen couldn't help but stand up and look at Prince Yong intently.

Si Yan stood up and walked towards Qi Ziyu: "Your Highness Prince Yong, how are you feeling?"

All the food at the banquet has undergone strict inspection. Si Yan also instructed Yunqiao to accompany Prince Yong into the palace today, and Yunqiao served beside Prince Yong.

The emperor also knew that Yunqiao was the doctor beside Prince Yong, so he agreed.

Prince Yong didn't eat anything today, he just drank a few glasses of wine, each of which was checked by Yunqiao.

"I'm fine, Ayan." King Yong shook his head and didn't feel anything unusual.

However, as soon as King Yong finished speaking, blood began to flow from his nose.

"Ah! Prince Yong is bleeding!"

Everyone was horrified, and several timid ladies screamed on the spot.

Yunqiao immediately stepped forward, took Prince Yong's pulse, and said in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness Prince Yong has been poisoned."

Yunqiao immediately gave King Yong an antidote pill, but this antidote pill was universal and could only temporarily suppress the toxin but could not detoxify it.

Si Yan took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from Prince Yong's nose and immediately ordered someone, "Go get some hot water."

Eunuch Gu quickly asked someone to fetch hot water, and the genius doctor Yunya also rushed over.

After checking Prince Yong's condition, the genius doctor Yunya couldn't help but frown.

Si Yan raised his eyes and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, please seal off the palace immediately. No one is allowed to move even a step from their position. Anyone who dared to poison Prince Yong at the palace banquet today will pay the price."

The emperor nodded, his chest aching with anger. "Order the imperial guards to seal off the palace, seal off the entire palace banquet, and no one is allowed to enter or leave their seats."
