Zhao Ji had already fallen asleep, but the emperor was sneaking around the door. Zhao Ji practiced innate skills and had very sharp ears, so he could naturally hear the noise.

He sighed deeply, opened the door and let the emperor in.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Ji asked while wearing a coat.

The emperor was neatly dressed.

"I wanted to ask if you have anything else to eat. I'm so hungry that I can't sleep..."

Perhaps it was because Zhao Ji had seen the emperor in all kinds of embarrassing situations, so late at night the emperor could be very frank with Zhao Ji about his embarrassing situation.

Zhao Ji sighed, thought for a while, and took out a bag of candied fruit from his luggage.

"I don't have anything else. I bought this as a snack when I was in the last town. If you don't mind, try this first!"

Normally the emperor would look down on such little girlish things, but tonight he was so hungry that he had no time to care about such things.

As soon as I got it, I opened it and put two in my mouth.

The sweetness filled his mouth, bringing great satisfaction to the emperor. Although his stomach was still empty and lonely, at least his mouth was briefly filled.

"It looks like I'll have to stay up all night like this tonight. Will I be able to eat the food that's delivered tomorrow morning?"

Although he was chewing candied fruit, the emperor was thinking about breakfast the next day.

Zhao Ji didn't say anything, he just took the emperor to his room and closed the door, then took out a pair of silver chopsticks from his package.

“When you go out, it is a must to test poison!” Perhaps the emperor’s doubts were too obvious, Zhao Ji squinted his eyes and explained to the emperor why he had this thing.

Zhao Ji took the chopsticks and stuck them into the spittoon filled with leftovers.

"Today I was afraid that I would not eat a bite and alarm them, so I specially ordered some. I originally planned to ask the emperor to go and see what was going on tomorrow morning. But now it's so late, and since you are here, let's just verify it now!"

Zhao Ji had a smile on his face and his hands didn't stop moving. He directly inserted the silver chopsticks into the leftovers.

The emperor and Zhao Ji stared at this piece of paper intently.

After the chopsticks were inserted, there was no reaction at first, but gradually a black line meandered up from the part that came into contact with the food.

The emperor's pupils dilated greatly at this moment. You know, the emperor actually had some luck in his heart. He felt that this inn would not be like this. After all, the waiter and the shopkeeper were very enthusiastic and the service was very thoughtful.

The emperor was also puzzled as to why the town had become like this as soon as he entered it.

First, there were so many people watching and glancing at me, as if everyone knew me.

Then I randomly selected an inn, which turned out to be a shady place.

The emperor himself was amazed at his luck.

"Why? Why?" The emperor couldn't understand why this store poisoned him.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought that perhaps they know you?"

Zhao Ji calmly pulled out the pair of chopsticks and said.

Although it was expected from the beginning, Zhao Ji was not so happy now that his guess had been verified, because it meant that the four of them were in a very dangerous situation, and no one knew who the enemy in the dark was.

Other people's hands have already reached into their rice bowls. If this matter is not resolved clearly, they dare not eat a single meal.

I'm afraid he will starve to death before he is poisoned.

"What do you mean they all know me? How is that possible? Not to mention, I've never been to this town before, not to mention that not every citizen here has the chance to see me!"

The emperor was still sober at this time.

"But Your Majesty, you should have noticed that their eyes always fall on you. Similarly, I am beside you, but not many of them are looking at me or sizing me up!"

"Plus, when we were walking among the endless stream of people, some people turned their heads and accurately grasped our positions. All this information shows that they have seen us before, so they paid attention to us when they saw us on the street or other places, and even peeked at us!"

The emperor could not refute what Zhao Ji said, it was indeed the case.

At first, the emperor might have thought that these people felt that what they were wearing was inappropriate, or that there was something about their clothes that didn't fit in with them.

But if it were just because of these, the gazes of passers-by would not be so direct and passionate.

After thinking about it, although what Zhao Ji said was absurd, the emperor had to admit that this seemed to be the case.

"It would be fine if only one or two people knew me, but from what happened yesterday, it seems that everyone on the street knows us!"

The emperor said after recalling for a while.

Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, are you willing to go with me to find out what's going on?"

The emperor asked back, "Do you have a way for me to find out?"

Zhao Ji smiled faintly: "Of course there is a way, and I can also take you, Your Majesty, to experience the disguise technique that only people in the martial arts world can do!"

Although the emperor has his own little thoughts, it must be said that he is indeed still a relatively young man.

Therefore, he had no way to resist this kind of **.

Zhao Ji further said: "After you change your appearance, Your Majesty, you can eat now without worrying about someone plotting against you during the meal!"

This time the emperor immediately raised his hands to agree.

"Let's go find out tomorrow!"

After sending the emperor away, Zhao Ji had no plans to sleep again. After all, it was only a few hours before dawn.

For Zhao Ji, who has practiced the innate martial arts, it is very easy for him to change his appearance, and he can even change a hard condition such as his height.

But if you want to change the emperor's face, you need some other methods.

So Zhao Ji took advantage of the fact that it was still dim in the day and had never seen a nightgown before, and went to the pharmacies behind various drug stores.

Many times, what is needed for disguise is not some high-end medicinal materials, but just some residues left after the so-called pharmacists finish refining the elixir.

By the time Zhao Ji had prepared all these things, the roosters outside were already crowing.

Wang Wanru and Xiao Xiazi were the first ones to come out. They seemed to have slept all night and did not look very restful.

It was as if the thirty-year-old man had stayed up all night and had not yet recovered, his face was extremely sallow.
