The Emperor rushes to his brother Qi Jingyi's side after learning he's been poisoned and has resorted to self-harm to affect his linked attacker. Qi Jingyi's wife, Wei Yao, is distraught, fearing for her husband and their unborn child. The Emperor scolds Qi Jingyi for his rash actions but promises to trust the doctors working on a cure.

"You are suspected of being a Daxuan spy." The leader examined Jin Buhuan, "Take him away." Although the other party didn’t recognize him, he knew them; they had connections on both sides of the law, but unfortunately, he was usually not responsible for this area, so there was no way to interact and naturally no way to accept their benefits.

"This..." Jin Buhuan was taken aback for a moment, hastily waving his hand, "It must be a mistake, right? I’m a sworn brother of Master Lin."

Master Lin’s full name was Lin Heng, the butler of the Imperial Teacher Residence.

"Take him away." The leader was not buying it at all.

The Government Officials came up and locked Jin Buhuan, dragging him outside.

"Officer." Jin Buhuan quickly called out, hurriedly signaling to the shop assistant.

The young assistant was quick-witted, hurriedly pulling out a silver note and handing it over.

"Officer, could you tell me who is trying to set me up?" Jin Buhuan’s attitude was very sincere.

The leader glanced at the silver note, it was fifty taels. He immediately smiled and accepted it: "Someone from the royal family."

Jin Buhuan took a sharp intake of breath, feeling even more uneasy. When did he offend someone from the royal family? He then gave the shop assistant another look and followed them to the Governor’s Office.

The young assistant quickly ran to the Jin Residence.

In the Governor’s Office, Jin Buhuan finally saw the person who had captured him. It really gave him a fright; it was the Prince Consort, Gongben Hao. Although the other party might not know him, he had seen them before, and he hurriedly knelt down: "Greetings, Prince Consort."

"You’ve seen me before?" Gongben Hao raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I’ve had the fortune to see you from afar before." Jin Buhuan’s attitude was absolutely respectful.

"Since Master Jin is so straightforward, I won’t beat around the bush. Do you know why you’ve been called here?" Gongben Hao stood in front of Jin Buhuan.

Jin Buhuan shook his head: "No, I don’t know."

"I ask you, where did those medicinal wines and teas come from?" Gongben Hao looked down at Jin Buhuan, "I hope to hear the truth, otherwise..."

"I absolutely dare not lie," Jin Buhuan immediately felt a bit relieved, "I also dare not commit treason; that charge is too severe."

Gongben Hao had already returned to his seat, but did not speak, indicating for him to continue.

"I am a merchant, traveling everywhere. A few days ago I met Master Shu and his wife in the Border City, they obtained the agency for medicinal wines and teas in Daxuan, but the agency over there grants only one per area, and their family is already in the west, so they thought about trying in other countries..." He explained the process of meeting Gu Qingheng and Yang Ruxin and the conversation between them, "That’s how it was."

"You say they are staying at your place now?" Gongben Hao raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Yes." Jin Buhuan nodded, "They will leave when the first batch of goods arrives."

"How long will it take to arrive?"

"Just three to five days, I guess." Jin Buhuan thought for a moment.

Gongben Hao nodded and then said nothing more, releasing him.

Jin Buhuan was completely baffled but dared not ask anything. Of course, he wouldn’t go back and tell Gu Qingheng because this was instructed by the Prince Consort.

Meanwhile, after negotiating with Jin Buhuan, Gu Qingheng and Yang Ruxin had asked for a carriage and started leisurely traveling around the city and countryside every day. Just when Jin Buhuan was captured, a geographical map of Shangjing had already been created.
