It was already late in the night but the Wanfo Pavilion was still lit.

Feng Ningyan sat on his bed and flipped through a book, but because he was worried about the treatment for the plague, he became absent-minded.

Seeing that she was being impetuous, Shen Lingjue brought the sugar bird's nest on the table over: "Looking at the time, those patients should have already taken the medicine by now, it's useless being anxious. Let's drink some hot soup first to warm your body, I'm afraid the night will still be long."

Feng Ningyan looked at the bowl and could not help but frown: "Ever since I returned to the capital, I have been cooking stew everyday and am not allowed to practice martial arts. Are you going to raise pigs?"

The corner of Shen Lingjue's mouth rose into a doting smile. "My wife was too frail in the past, my hands felt much better these few days …"

"You!" Feng Ningyan glared at him fiercely, "Hmph! If you want to eat, eat. If you want to be fat enough to crush you to death, don't beg for forgiveness! "

As she spoke, she picked up the bowl and gulped it down, wiping her mouth as if she still had more to say.

Seeing her cute appearance, Shen Lingjue couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. "It's alright, if wangfei can go up and down, I can bend and move, and living people can be crushed to death by my daughter-in-law?"

Feng Ningyan laughed out loud, picked up the book beside him and threw it at him.

At this moment, the voice of a shadow guard came in from outside the door. "My prince, my royal consort, this subordinate has something to report."

"Come in." Shen Lingjue said loudly.

The hidden guard who was disguised as an old woman walked in, bowed to Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan and reported:

"My prince, my royal consort, this subordinate will follow your orders and stand by King Xuan's side, in case anything happens to him. However, Eunuch Dong from Qianyuan Palace just now came over to announce the order for King Xuan to return to the palace immediately. This lowly subordinate heard from Eunuch Dong that His Majesty was in a bad mood and wanted King Xuan to go and negotiate. "

"Qianyuan Palace?" Feng Ningyan and Shen Lingjue looked at each other, feeling that something was amiss.

Feng Ningyan frowned, "Qianyuan Palace is different from the past. With Shen Youhuang here, it is impossible for the Emperor to summon anyone. Moreover, it was Shen Youhuang who rushed Yu Su to the epidemic area this morning, so why didn't Shen Youhuang stop him when the Emperor summoned him? "

Shen Lingjue's face turned cold, and thought: I'm afraid, it's not the Emperor that is summoning me, but Shen Youhuang borrowing the Emperor's name …

"In the name of the Emperor?" Feng Ningyan stood up immediately, "Your Highness, you're saying that Shen Youhuang wants to drag Yu Su into the palace? Then he must have been upset and kind! Quick, send people to stop Yu Su, we can't let him return to the palace!

The guard replied, "When this lowly one left, King Xuan had already boarded the carriage and entered the palace gates."

"This is bad …" Feng Ningyan did not dare imagine what kind of trap Yu Su would face when she entered the palace this time. She clenched her fists and looked at Shen Lingjue.

Shen Lingjue waved for the hidden guards to retreat, then turned around and walked to the side of the wardrobe and took out a set of black clothes.

"You want to enter the palace?" Feng Ningyan was immediately shocked, "But the palace guards are extremely tight, if you are discovered …"

"I can't care so much anymore." As Shen Lingjue said this, he put on the night clothes.

At this moment, Shen Youhuang sat at the table and leisurely sipped on his tea inside the Qianyuan Palace of the Qianyuan Palace.

On the side, Li Wan'ling couldn't help but ask curiously, "Prince Cheng, you asked your concubine and Venerable Su to stay here tonight. What's the matter?"

Originally, it was Noble Su and Li Wan Huan who took turns getting sick, so when Shen Youhuang summoned the two of them, Li Wan Huan couldn't help but be confused.

Noble Su was also standing at the side, but she had a gentle and understanding look, and secretly disdained Li Wan'l for not being able to hold back her words.

Shen Youhuang looked at Li Wan Xin coldly, scaring Li Wan away and making her shrink back in fear. She did not dare to say a word.

Not long later, a young eunuch walked in hastily and handed over a small porcelain bottle to Shen Youhuang.

Noble Su and Li Wan'ou looked at Shen Youhuang curiously. They saw Shen Youhuang pass the porcelain bottle to Li Wan'ou, walking over to the tea set used by the emperor, opening the lid of the teapot, and hinting Li Wan'ou to pour the contents of the bottle into it.

The teapot was the one used by the emperor. Inside the teapot was the Spirit Calming Tea that the emperor had to drink every night for the past few days.

He wondered what was in the bottle. Could it be arsenic?

Li Wan consort was startled, but ever since she had pledged her allegiance to Shen Youhuang, even if they were on the same boat, if she did not listen to his orders, what could she do?

She had no choice but to open the bottle and shake the white powder inside the teapot in front of her.

Noble Su and Li Wan's concubine also thought the same and his face turned pale.

Shen Youhuang turned around and saw the expressions of the two of them changed greatly. He could not help but sneer: "Do you know what this is? This is the pus that was dug out from the dead animals in the epidemic area and dried to powder. Who would be able to eat it, even the deities would not be able to escape from this plague. "

Li Wan's wife felt nauseous upon hearing this. She could not help but retch a few times. She quickly placed the porcelain bottle on the table and took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands.

Although Noble Su was calm, when he thought about how Shen Youhuang wanted to bring the tea with the plague to the emperor to drink, he felt a chill down his spine.

Li Wan Xiao held onto her chest and said fearfully, "Prince Cheng, you are plotting to murder the Emperor … "This crime involves the extermination of one's head and the extermination of nine clans …"

Shen Youhuang was displeased: What are you afraid of? Someone is going to be beheaded, but it's not This King, nor is it you! "

Hearing this, Li Wan Xia and Master Su heard that Shen Youhuang had already made arrangements. Although they could not bear to harm the emperor, with Shen Youhuang's power and influence, how could they dare not follow his orders?

As Shen Youhuang said this, he glanced at the hourglass under the window. He felt that it had been a long time since Eunuch Dong announced the decree, and was getting impatient.

He walked to the door and told Forbidden Army Commander Du Kai, "Commander Du, Sixth Brother went back to the palace tonight because of an accident and the road was slippery during the dark. This duke is afraid that something might have happened to him, so I request Commander Du to personally go to the palace to receive the His Highness King Xuan."

Du Kai did not doubt his words, and respectfully bowed to accept his order.

Forbidden Army Commander Du Kai had always been a loyal and honest man, he never paid anyone back for his words. However, ever since the coup launched by the crippled Crown Prince Shen Di, he couldn't help but to admire Shen Youhuang for his courage in saving his father.

Now that Shen Youhuang had returned from the border, with military exploits and the fact that he was bestowed the title of Prince Cheng by His Majesty, Du Kai felt even more admiration and did not realize Shen Youhuang's true appearance at all.

Du Kai swiftly brought his Forbidden Army and welcomed the path that Shen Yusu had to take to enter the palace. And at this time, Shen Yusu himself was unaware of it, as he passed through layers and layers of palace gates, rushing towards the Qianyuan Palace.

Just as he walked into the imperial flower garden, a figure suddenly sprang out from the bushes. The figure covered his mouth and said in a low voice, "Yu Su!"

Shen Yusu immediately heard Shen Lingjue's voice, and quickly nodded his head, only then did the other party release his hand.

"Brother King Yu, why are you in the palace? Has anything happened at the palace? "

Shen Yusu looked at Shen Lingjue who had pulled down his mask and was extremely confused.

"Mn, something is going to happen. All of this king has no choice but to stop you from going to the Qianyuan Palace …"

Just as Shen Lingjue was about to explain, he suddenly heard a series of footsteps not too far away.
