It was only five meters away, and I felt nothing.
The emperor repeated it twice in his mind, his eyes dark.
Qianhu was also a little frightened.
Five meters is not a close contact distance, and the person who was poisoned was completely unaware of it.
Thinking carefully, from the time the Nan Gu envoys arrived in Beijing until now, at least half of the ministers in the court should have met them. If...
Qianhu hardly dared to think about it any further.
The emperor could tell what he was thinking from his stiff body and slightly frightened eyes, and chuckled, "They are not that stupid. There is no one in Tianqi who is good at using Gu. Once someone is poisoned, no matter if they are the ones who did it or not, they will be the first ones that come to mind."
"Besides, they haven't yet investigated how the young fish discovered Malzahar, so they won't act rashly."
The captain lowered his eyes slightly, and the emperor did not explain any more. He just told him to continue watching and waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
After he left, the emperor sighed.
He was also very troubled by the matter of Gu. Although those two people did not look like idiots, it was not certain that they would be stupid if they went crazy.
Everything must be under control in your own hands.
The emperor paused for a moment, then stood up and said, "Prepare the carriage. I'm going to go see the Grand Tutor."
Fuping bent down and walked out.
Look at the Grand Master? I believed your ghost.
…
Jiang Zhiyu and Tudola went to Qingfeng Pavilion one day and Zuiyuelong the next day. Tudola's suspicion of Jiang Zhiyu gradually dissipated during these days of getting along.
Today they rarely went to either of the two houses, but instead strolled around the street.
After walking a few steps, I heard a commotion.
Jiang Zhiyu and Tudola looked in the direction of the sound and saw a frightened horse charging towards them.
The crowd dodged in a hurry, and in a few breaths, Crazy Horse was in front of Jiang Zhiyu, but Jiang Zhiyu seemed to be frightened and did not move.
Tudora was stunned for a moment, and in a flash, she made a decision. She turned sideways and pulled Jiang Zhiyu's arm, her eyes filled with fear.
"Get out of the way."
She said to dodge, but her hands secretly exerted force and pushed Jiang Zhiyu towards Crazy Horse.
The sneer on Jiang Zhiyu's lips disappeared in an instant. He seemed to have lost his balance and his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground. Tudola, because of the force he exerted, could not control his strength for a moment and staggered forward a few times. He happened to be in a straight line with the crazy horse and was knocked straight away.
She fell to the ground and was trampled several times by the crazy horse. She couldn't get up at all and lay on her back, spitting blood.
Jiang Zhiyu then walked over in panic and controlled the reins of the crazy horse.
[How vicious! They actually wanted to kill me before I even spent all my money. Unforgivable!]
He Yanting, who watched this farce: "..."
This horse was carefully selected by Tudora. Even the horseshoes on its hooves were heavily crafted. Now all of them were stepping on her. Due to the severe pain, she couldn't even faint.
She could only stare at Jiang Zhiyu while spitting out blood.
He Yanting walked over to Jiang Zhiyu and saw that she was not injured. Then he ordered, "Come here, take this horse to the Dali Temple and ask the Dali Temple Minister to find out who the horse's owner is. You two, quickly call a doctor to check on the princess first."
Tudora: "..."
Other guards: "..."
Onlookers: "..."
Although, the one next to you is a miracle doctor. When it comes to medical skills, who can compare to her?
Do I need to consult another doctor?
But no one dared to question it, they just said yes and left in a hurry.
He Yanting stood beside Jiang Zhiyu and whispered, "She not only wanted to push you out, but also..."
"I know," Jiang Zhiyu said calmly, "She has a poison needle in her hand."
He Yanting: “…”
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
How did she know?
Based on the speed and angle just now, coupled with Tudora's deliberate concealment, it would have been impossible for her to see it unless the poison needle had already pierced Jiang Zhiyu.
Thinking of this, He Yanting's eyes suddenly became tense and he looked at Jiang Zhiyu carefully.
Jiang Zhiyu sighed, stretched out his hand to turn his body, and pointed at the coldly shining thing in the pool of blood: "It has all fallen out. If I still can't see it, wouldn't I be stupid and blind?"
He Yanting's eyes were fixed on her fingers.
Her fingertips were pink and tender, and she wore an agate ring on her finger, which was dazzlingly white under the sunlight.
He Yanting's eyes suddenly darkened.
Jiang Zhiyu didn't notice his gaze, and when she saw him looking over, she withdrew her hand.
"It's been a few years since we last met. Yan Ting has grown so big. I remember before I left, you were still a tiny kid who wasn't even as long as my legs."
A low, laughing voice sounded. He Yanting and Jiang Zhiyu looked up and saw a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and a slight mustache walking towards them.
Although he was smiling, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
It was Prince Yu who had just returned from Beijing.
Although he is the emperor's younger brother, judging from his appearance, he is older than the emperor.
Behind him were the two guards whom He Yanting had just ordered to take the horses to the Dali Temple.
He Yanting bowed and clasped his fists: "Your Highness greets Prince Yu."
Prince Yu stepped forward and helped him up personally: "Why be so polite between you and me?" He looked at Jiang Zhiyu beside him. Jiang Zhiyu yawned and neither looked at him nor saluted.
Prince Yu's eyes were slightly cold. "I believe this person must be Lord Jiang, whom my brother has been holding in high regard lately."
When he mentioned Lord Jiang, he emphasized his tone, and anyone could hear his dissatisfaction.
The young fish in the river nodded slightly.
Even after such a point, Jiang Zhiyu still didn't bow like him. Prince Yu was almost amused by this. His icy brows arched coldly: "Why, as a prince, am I not worthy of Lord Jiang's bow?"
"Or, Master Jiang, you don't even bother to say a word to me?"
When he finished speaking, his tone turned cold and filled with murderous intent.
He Yanting narrowed his eyes slightly. Jiang Zhiyu took a few steps back before saying, "Since Your Highness knows, why bother telling it? It would be so embarrassing for you if you told it."
"Haven't you heard that in the adult world, the only way to maintain a modicum of decency is to avoid asking too many questions?"
After saying this, Jiang Zhiyu licked his lips.
【Come to think of it, I am still underage now.】
[Never mind, it doesn't matter, as long as I'm mentally mature.]
He Yanting: “…”
Prince Yu stared at her closely, his eyes as cold as ice. "You are truly sharp-tongued. Don't think that just because the Emperor values you now, you become arrogant."
Jiang Zhiyu took a few steps back, covered her nose, and looked at him with disgust: "Stop talking, the fishy smell in your mouth hasn't been covered yet."
Prince Yu: “!!!”
He Yanting: “!!!”
He said that he always felt there was a strange smell lingering in his nose.
