Li Yuan's eyes darkened as Doctor Zhang escaped so easily.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to capture him! I will leave Beijing immediately!"

Li Yuan thought that he would have to postpone their marriage in the end, feeling a little guilty and depressed, "Qianqian, wait for me to come back!"

Hua Qianqian nodded, and a thousand words were condensed into two words: "Be careful."

Li Yuan did not dare to delay any longer, hugged Hua Qianqian gently, and then walked quickly towards the emperor's palace.

At this time, the emperor was not sleeping. He had been feeling tight in his chest recently and found it difficult to sleep well at night.

Eunuch Hai notified Li Yuan that he wanted to see him, so he put on his clothes and walked outside, asking Eunuch Hai to call Li Yuan in.

When the emperor saw that Li Yuan was cold, he knew that he had been running around investigating the case, so he asked Eunuch Hai to pour a cup of hot tea and hand it to Li Yuan.

However, Li Yuan did not bother to drink, and directly reported the matter of Doctor Zhang to the emperor.

When the emperor heard that Dr. Zhang was actually the mastermind behind the Saints' Cult, he was either shocked or frightened, so he covered his chest and coughed.

Li Yuan hurriedly handed the hot tea in his hand to the emperor, letting him calm down his shock.

"He has been lurking around me for so many years without me noticing. What does he want to do?!"

The emperor took a few breaths with difficulty and said angrily: "He is still colluding with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, is he trying to overthrow the Dafeng empire?!"

Li Yuan knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists at the emperor and said, "The Saints' Religion is really dangerous. Staying for one more day will be a hidden danger. I ask you to lead the troops to hunt down Zhang Xian. Please give me your permission!"

Hearing this, the emperor frowned even more tightly, shook his head and said, "No, you can't go!"

Li Yuan was a little surprised when he heard that the emperor rejected him without hesitation.

"The Saints' religion uses poison to control the people to cause chaos. It is a huge threat and hidden danger to Dafeng and must be uprooted! This matter cannot be delayed any longer!"

Seeing that Li Yuan did not understand his good intentions, the emperor glared and said angrily:

"Don't I know that this matter is very important! But you are the crown prince of Dafeng and no longer King Xiaocheng. This Zhang Xian is so insidious and cunning, and I cannot let you take this risk!"

After saying that, he called Eunuch Hai over without waiting for Li Yuan to say anything more, "Go and send Prime Minister Lu and other senior ministers to me, as well as Duke Wu Xiang. I have something to discuss with them!"

Li Yuan was anxious, but he had no choice but to wait for Prime Minister Lu and others to come and discuss it together.

Prime Minister Lu has always supported him and should not block his decision.

Not long after, Prime Minister Lu and others arrived at the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor ordered Li Yuan to briefly tell a few people the whole story, and they all looked shocked after hearing this.

When he heard that Li Yuan wanted to ask for orders to hunt down Dr. Zhang, Prime Minister Lu did not support him as Li Yuan imagined. Instead, he shook his head and said:

"No, absolutely no, His Highness the Crown Prince cannot leave the capital! And this matter must not be spread outside the country. The judge of the Taiyuan Hospital turned out to be the leader of a cult. What will the people think when they find out?

When rumors spread everywhere, the people will definitely fall into panic! If the Northern Zhou Dynasty takes advantage of it again, our Dafeng will definitely fall into chaos!"

Several ministers felt that what Prime Minister Lu said was reasonable, and they all agreed. The most important thing is that they had more contact with the emperor, and they all found that the emperor's health was not as good as before.

If something happens to the emperor and the prince is absent from the court, the world will not be in chaos!

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Prime Minister Lu urged earnestly: "I don't know where the old traitor Zhang Xian has fled. Where should Your Highness go to trace it?"

Now everyone in the world is waiting for the prince's wedding. If His Highness goes after you at this time, what will happen to your marriage to the county leader?

Although what happened on Xishan Mountain cannot be leaked to the public, people will still hear some rumors. At this time, if you postpone the wedding banquet, there will definitely be rumors among the people!

I know that you are worried about Yi Kangbo's safety, but everything has its own priority, and state affairs must be the top priority in everything!"

Li Yuan frowned and said: "Capturing the leader of the Saints' Cult is a state matter. Only by catching him as soon as possible and eradicating the Saints' Cult can we stabilize the people's hearts!"

Hearing that Li Yuan was stubborn, the emperor said angrily: "Sir, you are not the only one who can lead the troops to arrest people, but you are the only one who can lead the crown prince of Dafeng. Do you know that?"

Li Yuan felt that the position of prince had gradually become a burden for him. If he had to compromise for this position today and not save his adoptive father, would he be threatened by the ministers and unable to save Qianqian in the future?!

Thinking of this, his eyes darkened and he said, "If my father and you all feel that my prince is not..."

Before Li Yuan finished speaking, the emperor had already understood his intention. He suddenly felt anxious, covered his chest and coughed.

Seeing the emperor like this, several ministers panicked and shouted: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you!"

"Your Majesty! Take care of your dragon body!"

Li Yuan helped the emperor sit down. Seeing that the emperor was having difficulty breathing, he frowned, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

"Eunuch Hai, please invite Qianqian here!"

Eunuch Hai was also planning to go find the imperial doctor. After hearing this, he immediately responded: "Yes, I'll go right now!"

After Eunuch Hai left, Li Yuan hurriedly helped the emperor to the couch. The emperor felt a headache and his eyes began to blur.

He couldn't help but put his hand in front of his eyes and shook it, and found that his fingers were getting more and more unconscious, and even his lips began to tremble uncontrollably.

When several ministers saw the emperor's action, they were even more panicked. If the emperor is good or bad, how can this be a good thing?

After a while, Hua Qianqian was invited by Eunuch Hai, and also came with Qi Wang Yue Qixuan.

Although several old ministers didn't know why King Qi came here, but this was not the time to ask questions, they hurriedly made way for Hua Qianqian to see the emperor.

When Li Yuan saw Hua Qianqian, he looked solemnly and said: "Father's symptoms are somewhat similar to Yuan Bang's. Could it be that he has also been poisoned by the Saints' religion to control its members?!"

Hua Qianqian stepped forward and checked the emperor's pulse, then checked the emperor's eyes and other places, and stopped after a while.

Eunuch Hai asked anxiously: "How is it? County Lord, is it okay, Your Majesty?"

Hua Qianqian glanced at the palace, and Eunuch Hai's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the emperor's condition might be very serious.

The emperor's dragon body was related to Dafeng's safety. Eunuch Hai knew that this matter could not be exposed, so he evacuated all the palace people from the palace.

The ministers who were summoned were all the emperor's confidants. Hua Qianqian did not hide anything anymore and said to everyone:

"Your Majesty... is most likely poisoned, and it has been a long time."

She looked at Eunuch Hai and asked, "Has Your Majesty been taking elixirs to strengthen your body?"

Eunuch Hai thought for a while and nodded quickly: "Yes, it's Hui Yuan Dan... The old slave remembers that this Yuan Dan was made by a Taoist recommended by Yuan Bao to the emperor many years ago. The emperor has been taking it, but this pill

The hospital has repeatedly tested it, and it’s not poisonous!”
