“Since Third Royal Brother said it was so good, then you must like it very much. I want to see how spicy it is.”

The Second Prince tasted the mutton and said expressionlessly, “That’s all.”

The Third Prince immediately revealed a disdainful expression and pointed at the plate of dipping sauce in front of him.

“This hotpot has to be eaten with this. The spiciness in the hotpot is indeed nothing.”

As he spoke, the Third Prince picked up a piece of cooked mutton with his chopsticks and dipped it into the sauce in front of him. He immediately had a satisfied expression.

The other people saw that although the two of them were at loggerheads, they were also eating quite happily. All of them raised their chopsticks and faced each other.

Suddenly, the Third Prince’s expression changed drastically. It was as if he was suffering from an unbearable abdominal pain. He did not even put down his chopsticks properly and dropped them to the ground. The plates in front of him also fell to the ground due to the pain.

This scene shocked everyone present. It was obvious that they had been poisoned.

“Summon the Imperial Physician!”

The Empress ‘expression was very bad, let alone the Emperor.

The Empress subconsciously glanced at her son, the Second Prince.

This matter couldn’t have been done by her son, right? This child was really too much. How could he do such a thing at this time? Even if it had nothing to do with him, it was definitely related to him. She didn’t know what the emperor was thinking. After all, she was the one who prepared this reunion dinner.

The Empress secretly blamed her son for becoming more and more impatient.

In a short while, several imperial physicians came over. However, before they could get a result from checking the Third Prince’s pulse, all the princes present had unbearable abdominal pain and their faces were purple. Their lips also began to turn black and they fell to the ground.

Before they could recover from their shock, even the Emperor and Empress were no exception. This time, the dozen or so imperial physicians present were so shocked that their souls and spirits were all gone!

Who could tell them what the hell was going on?!

Could it be that today was the day they died?!!

When the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall saw this, they were so frightened that they could not stand still and all fell to the ground.

What was going on?

They didn’t want to die!

All the masters fell to the ground one after another. There was no one in charge. In the end, a young eunuch was clever and went to invite the imperial concubine.

When the young eunuch arrived at the Imperial Consort’s palace, he was even more frightened, because the Imperial Consort had also been affected!

After the Eagle Guards finished their work in the Northland Imperial Palace and saw that all the people were poisoned, they sprinkled two kinds of powder. The Princess said that inhaling the two kinds of powder was also possible. This way, it would definitely be safe.

Eagle One was very satisfied with the results of their mission and gestured for them to retreat.

At the same time, the Imperial Guards still discovered the traces of the Eagle Guards, and both sides began an intense battle.

The Eagle Guards remembered MO Ruyue’s teachings. Eagle One did not speak and gestured for his brothers to retreat quickly.

They were called Eagle Guards, and they were not for nothing. All of them were skilled in Qinggong. They might not be able to say anything in other aspects, but in terms of Qinggong, no one dared to claim to be first in front of them.

The Eagle Guards saw that the Imperial Guards were getting more and more, so they did not continue to fight. They only wanted to escape. Soon, the Imperial Guards could not find their figures. It was unknown which direction they had escaped in.

For a moment, the entire Northland Imperial City fell into a state of panic. All the masters who could govern the country had been poisoned at the same time. How terrifying was this!

There was an imperial physician who was more proficient in poison medicine, but he could not do anything after looking at it for a long time.

This was because these masters had been poisoned with at least two types of poison, and they were all poisons that he had never seen before.

The imperial physicians discussed and tried all kinds of methods, but they discovered that the poisons in a person’s body could not be removed at the same time. If one poison was removed, the remaining poison might immediately cause the poisoned person to die.

When they tried to detoxify the poison together, they found that more than two antidotes would come together and produce a new poison. It could not be described as tricky. It was simply a poison that could not be cured!

In this situation, no one dared to do anything and could only watch.

The imperial physicians heaved a sigh of relief because it was hard to tell whether they would live or die. Moreover, they were all unconscious. No one would sentence them to death now.

This matter couldn’t be left like this. These imperial physicians had no choice but to gather all the ministers to the palace.

When the officials saw the unconscious Emperor and Empress, they were all headless chickens, not knowing what to do.

There was no need to attend the morning court session anymore. They couldn’t even choose a regent.

Taba Jian had always been very suspicious. Even the family of the late Empress who had helped him ascend the throne had been exterminated by him. He had not even spared the infant in swaddling clothes, let alone the Prince who had dominated the court at that time,

Taba Jian had also become the emperor because he had fought his way out of his brothers. Now, those brothers were all gone.

The one or two kings who were still alive were either too old to walk or had just been born. The younger ones had already entered the earth when they fought with Taba Jian for the throne.

Otherwise, when the Northern Kingdom and the Western Liang Kingdom were at war, they would not have sent a Crown Prince to the war. Although sending the Crown Prince to war was the result of a few princes fighting for power, the biggest reason was that there was no real talent in the Northern Kingdom.

So now that such a major event had happened, there was no one in the palace who could make decisions.

A country could not live without a ruler for a day. If other countries knew that the Northland was in a mess now, would there still be the Northland?

The ministers discussed for a whole day. Finally, someone remembered that not all the masters in the Northern Kingdom had fallen. There was still a Crown Prince in Xiliang!

“We have to go to Xi Liang as soon as possible and bring the Crown Prince back! ”

Of course, there were also voices of opposition.

“The Crown Prince is going to Xi Liang to resolve the war agreement between the two countries. If we rashly bring the Crown Prince back now, it will inevitably be discovered by Xi Liang.”

The voices of opposition were immediately suppressed by the voices of approval.

“Inappropriate?

You mean you want the Northland to continue like this?”

The ministers who agreed stood up one after another, accusing the ministers who opposed them of having bad intentions. Now that the country was in danger, they were simply muddle-headed to still think about the battle for the throne!

“If it really doesn’t work out, send the imperial grandson to replace the Crown Prince. We’ll talk about other things after the Crown Prince deals with the matters in the north.’

“This is also a solution.’

Many of the ministers were restless, thinking that this was the best time to seize power, but they did not have any useful people in their hands.

Even though the Emperor and the Princes were all poisoned and unconscious, the Imperial Guards in the palace swore to protect the Imperial Palace. Those ministers who had disloyal hearts would only have a slim chance of survival if they wanted to fight.

Moreover, the Northern Kingdom still had a crown prince who was still alive. If the crown prince came back from the Western Liang Kingdom, that could be a legitimate person who ascended the throne. Those ministers who were ready to move had to suppress their hearts and wait for the consequences.

Many ministers thought about it and decided that it was good to bring the Crown Prince back. The Crown Prince’s mediocre aptitude was still very easy to control. At most, she would marry her daughter to him. When her daughter gave birth to the Crown Prince, the world would still belong to their family!

Moreover, this was a good way to do things. Just like the current situation, when the emperor became the previous emperor, the current situation would become history. History could repeat itself!

The ministers voted and the Prime Minister took the lead to change the Crown Prince back to Xi Liang.

The emperor’s grandson was the second prince’s eldest son. Even if the second prince’s wife’s family did not agree, there was nothing they could do.

At the same time, the entire Imperial City of the Northland was on high alert. The people on the streets were cleared, and the Imperial City was heavily guarded. The gates were also strictly guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Every household was searched for the traitor.

The Eagle Guards and the rest could not be found, they had probably already entered Xi Liang..
