Someone poisoned!

King Dongshan immediately became alert: "Investigate who is trying to poison me."

The faces of King Dongshan's men changed. Someone had actually poisoned them.

Logically speaking, only these people knew that King Dongshan was still alive. They were loyal and would never poison King Dongshan. So who leaked the news?

If the news that King Dongshan is not dead gets out, the imperial court will definitely hunt him down, which will definitely not be a good thing for King Dongshan.

The King of Dongshan took advantage of the fact that the Dog Emperor thought he was dead so that he could develop himself in a sneaky way and then kill him with one strike.

Now, King Dongshan suspected that he had been exposed.

Along the way, I didn't meet anyone else except the little mute.

He knew the little mute, and he thought the little mute also recognized him.

impossible!

King Dongshan stroked his face at the moment. He was wearing a human skin mask and did not show his true face to anyone. How could the little mute recognize that it was him?

He was afraid that there might be a traitor among his men.

right.

It must be like this.

There must be a traitor.

King Dongshan began to examine himself, and the people around him panicked, fearing that they would be discovered.

There are also people who are upright and have nothing to fear. No matter how they are investigated, as long as it is not them, it is fine.

King Dongshan's ship went out to sea, but no one could find out who the traitor was who betrayed him.

Prince Dongshan narrowed his eyes and said, "I asked the spies in the capital to keep an eye on that little mute. I saw her at the dock that day. It was as if she recognized me."

"How did she recognize it?"

"Also, how were the two substitutes exposed?" King Dongshan suspected that there was something he didn't know.

"How's the assassination going?" King Dongshan just remembered that he sent people out to kill and silence them.

The guard's expression was solemn. "Those people left and there has been no news of them returning. The man who followed the little mute is a well-known master in the martial arts world. It is said that he is now the little mute's master."

King Dongshan: "Waste!"

They dared not breathe a single breath.

King Dongshan knew that the people he sent out would be in great danger: "Keep an eye on them."

The guards nodded: "Yes."

Yan Bao knew that someone was watching them, so she was not afraid. She also poisoned King Dongshan, but she didn't know if she could kill him.

It would be best if the poison could kill them, but if not, there are still chances later.

Anyway, she was in conflict with King Dongshan, and she knew that King Dongshan was also targeting her.

When Master Li and Ziyun returned, both were injured. Master Li asked Yan Bao to bandage their wounds while saying, "Don't worry, we've dealt with the people and the bodies, six in total."

Yan Bao nodded: [That's right, six of them, all dead, that's good.]

Master Li's injuries were quite serious and he needed to lie down to rest. He even developed a fever at night. Zi Yun stayed by his side and said, "It's all my fault. If Master hadn't been trying to help me, he wouldn't have been stabbed by the assassin."

Yan Bao stroked Ziyun's little head soothingly, telling her not to blame herself. Seeing that Master Li had a high fever, Yan Bao fed him a fever-reducing pill, which reduced fever faster than Chinese medicine.

After guarding for a while, Ziyun asked Yan Bao to go and rest: "We can't all fall down. You go and rest. I'll guard here. I'll rest in the carriage tomorrow during the day."

Yan Bao nodded and went to rest.

The next day, Master Li woke up and felt much better. Looking at Ziyun who was guarding him, he was somewhat moved. He didn't expect that at his age, there would still be someone who cared about him so much. There was nothing wrong with taking a disciple.

For the rest of the day, they were not in a hurry and returned slowly. Without the assassins chasing them, they felt a lot more relaxed.

They didn't walk fast, and when they arrived at the city gate, it was already closed. If others couldn't catch up, they would definitely sleep on the ground outside the city gate for the night and wait until the gate opened before entering the city.

Yan Bao was different. She took out the princess's token and had the city gate opened.

After all, she was a princess personally appointed by the emperor, so she still had some privileges.

When everyone saw that it was Princess Taining, they immediately opened the city gate without saying a word and let their carriage in. They knew that the princess was favored and did not dare to offend her.

The main reason was that the emperor had sent a message just the day before yesterday, saying that if Princess Taining returned to the city, the gates must be opened at all times. If they neglected to do so, they would be in big trouble.

After entering the city, the carriage headed straight for the Shen family.

Prime Minister Shen thought they would not be back until tomorrow, but when they returned to Beijing in the middle of the night, the couple woke up and immediately came out to greet them. Seeing the group of old, weak and sick people, Mrs. Shen was heartbroken.

Fortunately, they all came back alive.

Ah Huai's eyes became moist when he saw Madam Shen.

Madam Shen patted his head and said, "It's okay. You're back. Have a good rest tonight and come back to the palace tomorrow. The emperor cares about you very much and keeps asking about your situation."

Ah Huai nodded: "Excuse me."

"What are you talking about, kid!" Mrs. Shen gave him a scolding look.

On Shen Shoufu's side, looking at Yan Bao who had lost a lot of weight, he almost couldn't recognize the child, "He has lost weight."

"Dad, this isn't about being thin or not. King Dongshan isn't dead. You've been fooled. The dead King Dongshan was a stand-in. I saw the real King Dongshan at the dock."

Shen Shoufu: “???”

[Oh, what can I say to make my dad believe me? I don’t have any evidence.]

"I'm so worried! King Dongshan is definitely going to pull off a major tirade. If only I'd known I was in the capital. I could have seen through King Dongshan's scheme."

[Prince Dongshan loves using doubles so much, how could he not use one for himself? Father, you and the Emperor are underestimating the enemy!]

[The King of Dongshan must have come prepared, otherwise why would the Crown Prince and the others have disappeared? They must have been moved beforehand. The Emperor is a bit useless. So many people disappeared without a trace. Didn't the Emperor arrange any spies in Dongzhou?]
