In the following days, everything was calm and peaceful. Jun Ning obediently waited for her little husband's delayed full-month banquet to arrive. But suddenly, an unexpected guest demanded to meet Jun Ning and even wanted to compete with her.
This unexpected guest was none other than another envoy dispatched by Bei Xia.
Previously, the envoys from Bei Xia harbored sinister intentions, attempting to spread a plague within the palace to kill Emperor Yongning and various ministers, aiming to cause East Chu to collapse from within. However, they were stopped outside the palace by the Crown Prince and Jun Ning.
The Crown Prince specially sought out the Imperial Physician to treat them for the plague, even when their symptoms were not apparent.
He even ordered the Imperial Physician and the Imperial Guard to watch over them constantly, prohibiting them from secretly taking any medicines to hide their plague and also forbidding them from moving about randomly.
