This Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, even until the time of the court meeting today, appeared somewhat absent-minded.

His mind was filled only with that young man and the words spoken by him.

Therefore, upon hearing the discussion in the court, he immediately realized whom he had encountered.

Aware of the seriousness of what was mentioned by the other party, he couldn't afford to worry about much else and stood up.

After this Minister of the Ministry of Revenue conveyed everything that happened truthfully, there was silence in the court.

Even Li Shimin stood up from his seat involuntarily.

Is there poison in the grain?

The mere thought of it seems preposterous!

However, it is not something to be taken lightly.

They hadn't detected any toxins in the grain, which also means that there is no guarantee that even the ministers themselves or the food within the palace won't have issues.

The thought of the daily food possibly driving one insane sends a chill down the spine.

"Investigate!" Li Shimin ordered directly, "Immediately check if the number of old people, children, the weak, and insane has increased in various places across the Great Tang recently."

In fact, there is no need to investigate.

The gradual appearance of insanity among the elderly, children, and weak individuals is something more than one person has noticed.

Who doesn't have a few elderly in their family?

It's just that previously, no one thought in this direction.

But now that it's mentioned, someone immediately reacted.

Even Li Shimin himself.

He suddenly recalled that his father has indeed been a bit neurotic recently.

Sometimes, it even seemed like he saw some inexplicable things.

Originally, it was thought to be a result of aging and a lack of concentration.

But now, it truly inspired some fear.

If Li Yuan indeed fell victim, then he could too!

Who on earth would poison everyone like this? Are they insane?

"Also, make all efforts to find the people of White Jade City!" Li Shimin issued another command, "Once found, invite them to me with great gifts, regardless of who they are!"

If there was still only caution and vigilance before,

now, with the realization of the potential danger of poisoning, those concerns must take a backseat to this matter!

Li Shimin made it very clear.

Generous gifts.

Both he and the entire Great Tang are urgently wanting to know what exactly the poison in the grain is!

And when this news reached Shen Yu's side, the experts specifically responsible for this matter knew that the situation could already move to the next step.

The night of the following day after this event.

Li Shimin was examining the messages coming from various places.

More and more, he was filled with anger and fear.

Because, as what was mentioned in the court the previous day, the number of people with addiction symptoms throughout the Great Tang is indeed increasing.

Manifesting in a completely abnormal way.

And it's not just in one place, it's all over the Great Tang!

Even in some areas of the Alien Race, it's the same.

Who in the world, or what event, could place such a terrifying toxin into all the grain in the land without anyone knowing?

Where could safe grain be found?

What is the connection between this matter and White Jade City?

Could it be that this poison is indeed from White Jade City?

Speculations and possibilities deprive Li Shimin of peaceful sleep and food.

"Your Majesty." Empress Zhangsun approached from outside the hall, holding a bowl of rice porridge, and said softly, "The night is deep; Your Majesty should not overexert yourself."

"Guanyin." Li Shimin held his empress's hand, hesitated for a moment but eventually passed the memorial to her, "The world faces an unprecedented major event. Be very cautious about the diet during this time. Ordinary foods like this should not be eaten anymore."

Even though they still haven't found where the so-called toxin in the grain is.

They've found not even a shred.

However, some possible preventive measures are still actively promoted.

For instance, eating some long-stored durable foods.

Or, simply practicing certain Martial Arts Techniques that can reduce food consumption.

Or, simply consuming Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

After all, this is a Martial Arts World; it can't be that nothing can be done.

And after reading the memorial and understanding the cause and effect, Empress Zhangsun was equally deeply shocked.

She only knew that something major seemed to happen in court recently, but she didn't know the specifics.

Now, she understands how significant this matter is!

Moreover, her children also belong to the weak group.

Upon learning of this matter, she even recalled some seemingly abnormal behavior from her children, inducing a wordless fear.

However, she held back her emotions and comforted, "The greater the calamity, the more Your Majesty should cultivate diligently. Moreover, Your Majesty, if White Jade City is indeed as strong and truly came for this situation, they couldn't possibly not come to you."

Though Li Shimin's mood was still somewhat anxious, at this moment, he calmed gradually under Empress Zhangsun's comfort.

Empress Zhangsun is not wrong.

White Jade City has not hidden itself, and even seems to be intentionally spreading. In that case, they couldn't possibly not seek him out.

However, at this moment, a sudden breeze blew.

The candlelight flickered.

Alerting Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun suddenly.
