They said they would stay in the camp overnight, but in fact, as soon as it got dark, the five imprisoned soldiers began to shout at the top of their lungs. The people guarding outside the tent could only hear the constant praying sounds coming from inside the tent, but they did not dare to lift the curtain to look inside although they were curious.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long. Honghui, who learned the news, rushed over with the commander-in-chief of the Plain White Banner and battalion-level military officers. Then they all witnessed the tragic scene when the nicotine addiction attacked.

"Someone, come here, I need the longevity cream..." "Where's the longevity cream? Give me the longevity cream quickly..."

Their hands and feet were tied tightly, but the soldiers who were addicted to smoking did not know how to do things within their ability. They curled up on the ground and struggled. Their eyes were red and their bodies twitched and trembled from time to time. Everyone could not help but shudder.

Are these people crazy?

Honghui was also frightened, and it took him a while to recover. He ordered someone to bring in the longevity cream and show it to the five people. Then he saw that those people became completely hysterical.

"My Lord, please, just give me a puff, just one puff... I'll give you whatever you want. Oh, I have a younger sister at home..."

"Quick, give it to me, quick..."

Five people were crawling on the ground, their faces twisted and twisted, their eyes only had the image of the can of longevity cream, and everyone present felt like vomiting.

"Prince...Prince, please step back quickly and stay away from these half-human, half-ghost creatures!" Gao Wuyong stood in front of Honghui with a trembling voice, fearing that the hell on earth before him would pollute the prince's eyes.

However, Honghui stopped Gao Wuyong's action, and even mustered up the courage to watch the performance of the smokers. Then he watched these people move towards the direction of the longevity paste little by little. Until the distance was getting closer, he suddenly sneered and ordered people to put the longevity paste away.

Seeing their near hope shattered in one day, the five people could no longer control their minds and screamed hysterically, "Fu Shou Gao, give me Fu Shou Gao, quickly..."

"Dream on! You will never touch the longevity cream in this life!!"

Ignoring the hateful and crazy looks from the few people, Honghui glanced at the onlookers one by one, and mocked them with a fake smile: "Now everyone knows the 'benefits' of the longevity paste, right?"

Everyone's faces turned pale, and some of them couldn't control themselves and vomited uncontrollably, not daring to stay in the tent any longer.

The commander of the Plain White Banner forced himself to raise the corner of his mouth and looked for help at Prince Zhao, who had exposed the matter of the Fu Shou Cream.

Honghui glanced at him and gave him an order: "Do you know what to do next? All the officers and soldiers of the Zhengbai Banner should be screened. Anyone who has touched the Fushou Cream should not be let off!"

"Yes."

"Well, since today's business has been concluded, I will not stay any longer. Let's go back to the mansion." Since we don't have to stay all night, why stay in the military camp?

So that night, everyone who had the good fortune to witness the hell on earth tossed and turned in bed, and even those who fell asleep were awakened by nightmares. Each of the grown men wished they had never been to that tent that was like an abyss.

However, the number of detained soldiers increased visibly, and those who had behaved strangely in the past could not escape, because these people had already been individually circled in red for being lazy and slacking off, so there was no need to question them at all, and they would be found with a single search.

As for Honghui himself, who had caused such great trouble, he wrote a memorial overnight and handed it personally to Yinzhen, who was feeling troubled, early the next morning.

"Father Emperor, this longevity cream has not only stolen our Great Qing's silver, but also harmed our Great Qing's soldiers and civilians physically and mentally. The Westerners are still determined to destroy our Great Qing. If we don't stop them, the Great Qing will be in danger!"

Yinzhen's eyes flashed coldly from time to time, and his words were like poison, but they were not directed at his eldest son. "How hateful! How dare the little Westerners use such a treacherous scheme against my Great Qing? I will peel off their skins!"

"Please calm down. You must not get yourself into trouble by getting angry..."

"Don't worry about me. I'm not going to die yet. I want to keep this body and settle accounts with the Western countries!"

Yinzhen gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, and then made a request unprecedented in the morning court, "No other matters will be discussed today. You all will go to the Zhengbai Banner military camp with me. Set off immediately, without any delay!"

What is His Majesty planning? He has to go to the military camp instead of attending the morning court! But it is said that Prince Zhao went to the military camp of the Plain White Banner yesterday. I wonder if it is related to this?

The commander of the Plain White Banner, however, covered his chest with his hands, his eyes flickering, remembering everything that happened yesterday vividly.

Amid the confusion of the kings, royal family members, and civil and military officials, yesterday's hellish scene returned to the world. This time, Prince Zhao Honghui even fed the longevity paste to two chickens. However, within an hour, the lively chickens died right under everyone's eyes.

Fu Shou cream is poisonous!!

Immediately, three or five people collapsed on the ground. When everyone looked over, they saw that they were in panic, trembling uncontrollably, with their hands and feet shaking like sieves, and they were mumbling something.

Seeing this, Yinzhen knew very well that these people had all taken the longevity cream!

"I have issued numerous prohibitions, prohibiting the court officials from going to the Eight Great Hutongs, but you pretended to obey and secretly disobeyed. This is your retribution!"

Honghui followed closely and spoke up: "Once you are infected with this longevity cream, there is no antidote. Even the brave and unyielding Baturu will sooner or later become a sickly person. Those soldiers just saw it. The Eight Banners were infiltrated by Westerners. I wonder how many people in the capital and coastal areas have been harmed?"

Some of the loyal ministers immediately became indignant and started to criticize Xiyang, which made Honghui's head hurt.

Fortunately, Yinzhen spoke out in time to stop it and said, "Order the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple and the Jingzhao Prefecture to conduct a careful screening. Anyone who has smoked Fu Shou Gao should be arrested first! All opium dens in the capital should be closed down, and Westerners and missionaries should be arrested and put in jail. They will only be released if they are found innocent after interrogation!" The situation is urgent and it is better to arrest a thousand people by mistake than to let a single person go!

"Inform all prefectures and counties that no one is allowed to sell or smoke Fu Shou Gao within the territory of the Qing Dynasty. All opium dens in various places will be closed down, and the confiscated Fu Shou Gao will be temporarily sent to the capital for centralized destruction.

Anyone who has taken Fu Shou Gao will be sent to the capital to be treated by the Imperial Hospital. Yinzhen knew that there was no antidote for Fu Shou Gao, but he was unwilling to give up and wanted to try again!

"Tell someone to deliver an oral order to Prince Zhi and Prince Chun as soon as possible, telling them to quickly expand the Nanyang Navy and ask all coastal prefectures to give full support. No mistakes can be made! Also, have the Nanyang Navy temporarily inspect the four seas to deter neighboring countries from committing crimes, in order to prevent the Westerners from getting desperate and attacking the diplomatic fleet again."

The sea was vast and empty, and the fleet was hard to find. Yinzhen was really afraid that the Westerners would be so bold as to take action against Prince Li and Prince Lian!
