Chapter 352 A hearty and miserable defeat
[What a hearty and miserable defeat. ]
[It's different when you go out and get fooled. ]
[If the emperor says a few more words, it is estimated that he will be the mastermind of this conspiracy. ]
The emperor: "..."
He Yanting raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Bai Yan's CPU was about to burn out, but he still couldn't figure out what was wrong with the emperor's words.
Could it be that he just thought he didn't participate?
In fact, he was involved in the whole process? !
In case Bai Yan suddenly reacted, the emperor said: "Since there is no problem with this matter, let's go back to the beginning. Now, there is a chance to make up for your mistakes. If you agree and complete it honestly, I can not only let you go, but also give you a large sum of money."
Bai Yan has no interest in money, and he doesn't care much about his own life.
His thoughts were still on what he had just said. Hearing the emperor's almost deceiving tone, he just responded solemnly.
The emperor didn't care whether he was perfunctory or not, and said directly: "I want you to follow my Tianqi army to fight against Nanlong. After Nanlong is conquered, I can satisfy you with whatever you want."
Bai Yan refused without hesitation: "No."
As a superior, he is extremely sensitive to the word "no", especially the emperor.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, his face was cold, and he looked down at him. The murderous aura on his body suddenly became heavier, and the pressure made people palpitate.
"Think it through, then tell me."
Bai Yan's expression did not change: "I once promised someone that I would not do anything to harm Nanlong."
The eyes of the emperor and He Yanting changed slightly at the same time.
People like Bai Yan, once they make up their minds to do something, they will never turn back even if they get hurt.
If someone else said this,
there might be a 50% chance. But when Bai Yan said it, it was 100% impossible.
In this case, Bai Yan is of no use to them.
The emperor was about to ask someone to drag him out, but he saw Jiang Zhiyu next to him stepped forward.
[Tsk.]
[What did you promise? You obviously don't want to go.]
Emperor: "???"
He Yanting followed her eyes and watched her walk in front of Bai Yan, half squatting and said: "If you agree, I will tell you what kind of poison I put on them before."
Bai Yan's eyes moved slightly.
Jiang Zhiyu continued: "In the future, if you ask me any questions about medicine, I will tell you in detail, how about it?"
Bai Yan's eyes lit up, and he looked at her as if he was looking at a treasure.
"Deal."
Emperor: "!!!"
How did it get a deal? Shouldn't this kid fight to the death rather than surrender?
The emperor glanced in the direction of He Yanting. He Yanting's face seemed calm, but his hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists, with veins bulging.
The emperor looked away thoughtfully.
In any case, it was a happy thing that Bai Yan agreed to go with him.
The emperor was thinking about what reward to give to Zhiyu, and Jiang Zhiyu said very considerately: "No need, just give me a share of what the emperor promised Bai Yan just now."
Emperor: "..."
The rest is nothing, except that he said he would try his best to meet the requirements...
The emperor was thinking, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have owed Zhiyu a few times before.
That's all.
The emperor was not too worried about the debt, so he agreed with a smile.
The most difficult thing was solved, and the rest became much easier.
The emperor summoned the eunuchs, placed Bai Yan in a side hall in the palace, and sent people to find Jiang Kangan and Jiang Wenjing.
"By the way, what happened to Song Shiwei just now?"
Jiang Zhiyu looked at the emperor.
"She doesn't seem to have any direct connection with Prince Yu's rebellion case." The emperor felt strange.
Although the empress dowager called him an accomplice, she changed her words when she was really asked. Although other palace ladies had complaints about Song Shiwei on the surface, no one pointed out the truth at such a critical moment when it was easy to take revenge. It was obviously unreasonable.
After hearing the emperor's doubts, Jiang Zhiyu agreed on the surface: "Indeed."
[The influence of the heroine's halo is still quite profound. With the protection of heaven, all her actions are reasonable in the eyes of others. ]
[However, the emperor has become suspicious, and the influence of the heroine's halo should be slowly dissipating. ]
[It's a pity that the hero and heroine can't do anything to them before the halo disappears. ]
Emperor: "..."
He Yanting: "..."
No wonder.
He was still thinking before, with Zhiyu's personality, if she really hated those people, she would not tolerate them jumping around in front of her for so long.
It turns out that they can't be killed.
Knowing that he couldn't do anything this time, Jiang Zhiyu lost interest in the follow-up. He chatted with them for a few words, and when Jiang Kangan and Jiang Wenjing came, he took the opportunity to withdraw.
After leaving the palace, he went straight to the Third Prince's Mansion.
...
In the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Xiao Yanli looked at the letters on the table with a distorted face.
The content of these letters was already very straightforward, and they were just short of writing the four big words "treason and treason" directly.
Xiao Yanli really didn't understand why the emperor could still believe in General He and He Yanting after reading these letters.
General He did save the emperor's life, but among the old ministers today, how many have not saved the emperor's life?
Is it because he died? !
Xiao Yanli's fingertips holding the letter turned slightly white because of the force.
Uncle Zhang was beside him, frowning slightly: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry so much. The emperor's heart is unpredictable. Maybe His Majesty has already had doubts, but he just hasn't shown it."
As soon as he said this, Xiao Yanli's face became uglier.
"If you suspect He Yanting, you won't show anything. You even discussed important matters with him, but sent me away."
"If you suspect me, you will yell at me and be on guard against me?"
"They are all his sons, why is he so partial to them?"
Xiao Yanli seemed to be asking Uncle Zhang again, but also seemed to be muttering to himself.
"..."
Uncle Zhang was choked by his question and didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, Xiao Yanli didn't continue the topic, and changed his words: "If Bai Yan's plan fails, he will definitely let Bai Yan accompany him to Nanlong. We need to find a way to pull Bai Yan over. With the insect, the plan will be easier to implement."
Uncle Zhang also agreed with this point.
"If someone else leads the army, then let Bai Yan surrender. No matter what, he will not be suspected in the territory of Nan Gu."
Xiao Yanli did not comment.
He sighed lightly: "The premise is that Bai Yan must submit to us, so, they haven't found out about Bai Yan yet?"
Uncle Zhang shook his head.
"Nan Gu witch doctors are mysterious. Bai Yan, as the youngest generation of witch doctors, has rarely appeared, and the Nan Gu people know very little about him."
Xiao Yanli sighed lightly.
"However, since he is a man, he will never be unmoved by beauty," Uncle Zhang smiled lightly and said, "I have sent people to find two stunning women. Just one look will be enough."
Xiao Yanli nodded.
"Xiao Chuji has been restless these days. Who has he been meeting?"
