While Chunfeng and the others were trying to find a way out, the world outside was also in chaos.
First, the emperor's illness became more and more serious, and then there was the news that the spring breeze had disappeared. I don't know who leaked it.
The envoys from the four countries also refused to leave. I don't know what they were trying to do. The third prince's people were also ready to make a move.
There was another thing that surprised everyone. Regarding the injury of the Ninth Princess, all the evidence finally found pointed to Chunfeng as the murderer.
The most powerful evidence was the arrow feathers shot by Chunfeng, which made Chunyu even more anxious for a while.
I heard that the emperor's illness worsened because he knew about this incident.
For several days, there was no news about Chunfeng and King Yao, and Chunyu was restless.
The way out that the seventh prince found was even more difficult. There was a way out on the map that the man gave him.
But the map was an old treasure for who knows how many years, and the road shown on the map had long disappeared. The seventh prince had no choice but to send people to open the road according to the instructions on the map.
Because we have to guard against people with ulterior motives causing trouble, we can only do this in secret, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth like this.
Five days later, because the emperor was seriously ill, Qiu Lie's team had to break camp and return to the palace early.
The envoys from the four countries also returned to the capital, leaving only a team of people to continue searching for the whereabouts of King Yao.
Of course, such an order was not given by the emperor, because the emperor was lying on the bed unconscious at this time.
Therefore, such an order was issued by the concubine Rou, who had the highest position and had been taking care of the emperor. Because it was a royal matter and no one could verify the authenticity, she had no choice but to follow the team back to the capital.
Although some ministers were very concerned about King Yao's whereabouts, they had no choice but to have limited power, so they could only swallow their anger and hope that King Yao would return safely.
At present, in the whole court and the public, it is clear that King Yao has appeared, but the third prince is very powerful. Some people on the outside see that something is wrong, and some are ready to move and prepare to switch to the third prince's command.
This made the third prince feel even better about himself and a little arrogant. While others were trembling with fear, he was sitting in the tent drinking and having fun.
It seems that he has been certain for so many days that King Yao will definitely die. After every day's work, he must drink a lot, and even get involved with all the maids around the emperor.
On this day, while the third prince was drinking in the tent, someone came to report that it was the future third prince's concubine who wanted to see him.
Bailihe squinted his eyes, glanced at the door, and said with a drunken mouth: "What is she doing here? If you don't stay here, let her in!"
After saying that, he pushed away the disheveled woman who had been ravaged by him, and lay down on the couch, looking ahead.
"Pingting has met His Highness the Third Prince!" He Pingting bowed and saluted.
Today, He Pingting looked a little haggard, but she still managed to dress up, and she looked more fragile and pitiful!
However, the third prince didn't take this weak and pitiful look seriously. He looked her up and down and said in a not so good tone.
"What are you doing here? Why do you look like you've lost a lot of weight? Are you still worried about your fifth brother?"
He Pingting was shocked when she heard these words, but she still said calmly, "His Royal Highness Yao Wang is your biological brother, and I am his future sister-in-law. It is normal to be worried! I hope Your Highness will not mind you!"
"Don't mind? Haha, as my prince's concubine, you think about other men every day, why do you want me not to mind?"
