However, just that one bite is very toxic.
After the emperor finished his meal, he lay down on the bed and took a nap very contentedly.
As the candles in the room gradually burned to the end, the emperor was awakened by severe abdominal pain.
He clutched his stomach, vomited blood and fell to the ground. He struggled and kicked down the chair.
The chair fell to the ground, alerting the secret guard.
The secret guards all came up and said, "Your Majesty."
The emperor held his stomach and was in so much pain that he couldn't say a word.
One of the secret guards immediately checked the emperor's pulse and said in shock: "Your Majesty, you have been poisoned."
"What? Poisoned?" The emperor was horrified. ?.?????.ℂ??
He widened his eyes and tried to remember what he had eaten today. He raised his eyes and fell on the pot of wine.
It was poison, he was poisoned, or he gave the poison to the Third Prince.
He quickly ordered to the secret guard: "Quick, give me the antidote pill in your hand."
He naturally had the antidote to the poison he had administered.
After hearing this, the secret guard quickly gave him the antidote.
Not long after taking the antidote, the emperor's symptoms improved a lot. He fell weakly on the couch, his eyes dull.
Then he showed a helpless sneer, "The poison I gave him went around and around, and he actually made me drink it myself. He is really plagued by bad luck."
The secret guard came over and said, "Your Majesty, is it possible that they knew the wine was poisonous, so they brought it to you?"
The emperor waved his hand and shook his head, "Impossible. If they had really guessed my identity, they would have run away overnight. Why would they come to deliver me poisonous wine? They knew it would not work, but would expose themselves."
The secret guard suddenly realized, "Then what will the emperor do with them?"
The emperor waved his hands and said: "That's all, that's all, no one can talk about this today."
The secret guard bowed and said, "It's the Emperor."
The emperor raised his eyes and once again showed a fierce look, "If it doesn't work once, I will do it twice. If it doesn't work the second time, I will do it three times. I don't believe that Third Brother's life is so tough."
The secret guard whispered back: "Your Majesty, why don't you leave this matter to us?"
The emperor shook his head and said: "Don't worry, there will be a place where you can be used in the future."
The secret guard did not ask any more questions, and bowed obediently and left.
The emperor thought that poisoning would not work, so he decided to try another method.
However, the urgent letter sent by Zhou Ruiyuan had already reached the hands of the Third Prince and Aunt Zhou by the next day.
When Aunt Zhou saw the content of the letter, she almost fell to the ground, "He came to Cheng'an County? He came to Cheng'an County without telling everyone. He must have gotten the news that I am here."
The Third Prince quickly supported her and said, "Zhou'er, don't worry, haven't we been found by him yet? Why don't we pack up and leave here quickly."
Aunt Zhou raised her head and said, "Where are we going?"
The third prince replied: "Go to Xuzhou."
"Xuzhou? You mean to go to Zhao'er's place?" Aunt Zhou asked doubtfully.
The third prince nodded and said: "Yes, we are leaving immediately. I bought a small house in a small village in Xuzhou just because I am afraid that something like this will happen. We have somewhere to go."
Aunt Zhou calmed down and nodded, "Well, that's good, we'll leave now."
Xuzhou is close to Zhou Zhao's military camp, which is their territory. No one dares to attack them, not even the emperor.
The third prince had left a retreat there three years ago in order to protect the safety of his beloved woman.
Without another word, they started to pack up and leave.
Because she was leaving in a hurry this time, Aunt Zhou only brought some valuables and no other clothes.
Except for Aunt Zhuang, all the maids and servants in the mansion stayed behind, and they all pretended not to notice anything and continued to work in the mansion.
As for the shop, the incense shop, the incense shop and the rouge shop, Du Wanchun had explained it before he left. Even if Aunt Zhou didn't go there in person, it could still operate as usual.
Aunt Zhou and her children got into the carriage with Aunt Zhuang and the Third Prince, and left Cheng'an County overnight. On that day, there were dark clouds and strong winds. They thought it would rain heavily, but after they left Cheng'an County, it suddenly cleared up. They Continue towards Xuzhou.
By the time the emperor discovered that Aunt Zhou was not in the mansion, it was already two days later.
He was shocked, even though he was guarding their door, he still let them run away.
The emperor completely collapsed and immediately asked the secret guard: "Aren't you guys guarding the door these days? Why didn't you see them running away?"
The secret guards lowered their heads and did not reply.
They were indeed guarding the door these days, but a few days ago suddenly dark clouds came over and strong winds arose, causing them to escape without paying attention.
The emperor turned purple with anger, pointed at them and angrily shouted: "I don't care what method you use, you must find them back!! Go quickly!"
The secret guards lowered their heads and responded loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor was so energetic a few days ago, but he was so miserable today. He fell on the chair, feeling that these days had been in vain.
He waved his hand and said, "Prepare your horse for me immediately, I want to return to Beijing!"
