Speaking of the full moon banquet, the emperor personally made preparations throughout the whole process, from the process to the etiquette, rules and regulations, and specifications. He personally went through everything, one by one, and only after he gave the nod did the subordinates dare to do it.

Five hours before the banquet.

After the Emperor ordered the Imperial Guards to prepare for protection, he asked Defu, "What have you been doing recently?"

Defu took two steps forward, bent down and replied:

"According to the report, His Royal Highness Prince Li has been staying at home these past few days. He has not come out, has not seen any guests, and has done nothing."

The emperor frowned when he heard this.

How could he be so honest and well-behaved?

A little abnormal.

He pressed his fingers on the center of his eyebrows and rubbed them gently a few times. He looked at the dark clouds outside the window. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but suddenly he picked up the brush and wrote something.

Stamped with dragon seal.

When the ink had dried a little, he rolled up the imperial edict and handed it to Defu:

"Hide it, and don't let anyone know about it."

Defu smelled something wrong:

"Your Majesty, this..." He felt inexplicably panicked.

"Defu, you have followed me all my life. I know you are a trustworthy person, so I have never hidden anything from you. You should understand my good intentions." The emperor looked at him, his cloudy eyes heavy, as if he knew everything, and yet seemed to know nothing.

Defu's heart tightened and he immediately lowered his head:

"yes."

He took the imperial edict, hid it in his sleeve, and was about to go out when he saw a palace maid walk in.

He said, "The Imperial Study Room does not need any waiting. Please leave."

The maid stopped and looked up. She had no intention of leaving and only said a few words:

"By order of King Li."

De Fu subconsciously looked at the emperor.

The emperor's prediction was correct. The calmer the situation is, the more unstable it is.

He raised his chin and pointed at Defu: "Go down."

Defu hesitated for a few seconds, but still went out, "Yes..."

The door is closed.

The emperor put down his brush and looked at the palace maid who was gradually approaching. His eyes saw her face, deep and three-dimensional, with extremely delicate features and full of exotic charm. She was the kind of unruly and wild one at first glance, like a wild horse.

He raised his eyebrows in slight surprise:

"When did such a person appear beside King Li?"

The maid bowed calmly and said, "Wu Nu came to the palace on the orders of His Royal Highness Prince Li to bring the elixir of immortality to the emperor."

She walked forward and placed five small white porcelain bottles side by side on the table.

"It's all here. It will be effective after you finish taking it. I hope the emperor can let Prince Li go. At the dinner tonight, I will find a way to help Prince Li escape."

She lowered her eyes, and her exceptionally deep and distinctive face just happened to be reflected in the emperor's eyes.

Most of the women in Dongling Kingdom are gentle and cuddly.

People like this who have a cold temperament and are arrogant in their bones can easily arouse men's desire to conquer them.

The emperor picked up a small porcelain bottle and played with it carelessly in his palm, with a deep light in his eyes.

"All here?"

Would Prince Li cooperate like this?

"Are you sure you don't want to poison me with this medicine?"

Wu Nu laughed: "Your Majesty, you are joking. You and Prince Li are father and son. How could he do such a foolish thing?"

"Knowing the emperor's concerns, Prince Li specially asked me to come here in person. If the emperor doesn't believe me, I will prove it to you."

She walked to the table, picked up a small porcelain bottle, and prepared to try the medicine herself.

As the emperor waved his sleeves, he seemed to smell some fragrance, his eyes flickered and became a little distracted.

Bang!

Suddenly, someone grabbed Wu Nu's wrist...
