In the side hall of Nan Gu, the soldier also saw Amusha.
Thirteen-year-old boy Amusha was reading a book at the table, surrounded by servants.
At first glance, there was nothing unusual, but the soldier always felt something was weird.
Especially the look in the eyes of the Southern Gu King.
He tried his best to suppress the fear that was flooding his heart, and pretended to be calm and said, "Master Amusa, this is the Gu that the elders made for you. They told me to plant it in you."
Amusa raised his head, his eyes showing a bit of confusion: "Grandpa Gunta?"
"Yes, the elder is busy with the war," the soldier said with a twinkle in his eyes when he noticed the burning gaze behind him, "but he will be back soon."
Amusa didn't ask any further questions and just stretched out his hand obediently.
The soldier planted the poison quickly and efficiently, and his hand stayed on Amusha's palm for a moment before he stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have completed the tasks assigned by the elders. I will return to report."
He bowed slightly to the person sitting there. King Nan Gu's face was hidden in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
The soldier only heard him hum lightly.
After the people walked away, the Southern Gu King sat up straight and narrowed his eyes: "What did he give you?"
Before Amusa could answer, the two people standing beside him had already pinned him down and forced his hands apart, fingers one by one.
In the white and tender palm, there were several candied fruits.
"Your Majesty, it's candied fruit."
The Southern Gu King blinked slightly.
His hands on his knees moved slightly, and the two people next to him instantly let go. Amusha sat down again and put one of the pills in his mouth.
It was only then that the Southern Gu King raised his lips and said, "It's just candied fruit, why bother hiding it?"
Amusa looked at him with a half-smile.
King Nan Gu stood up, said a few words to himself, and walked out of the hall.
There were still guards outside, and he whispered, "Keep an eye on me."
…
At lunchtime, the training was paused and everyone discussed the morning's competition while eating.
Most of the discussion is about moves, but there are a few exceptions.
The soldier who was scolded in the morning and the other two people moved away from the main force and squatted in a remote corner.
"If it hadn't been interrupted today, how could the competition have ended in a draw? With Jiang Wenjing's showmanship, could he possibly be compared to the Third Prince?"
He spat softly a few times.
The two people next to him echoed: "That's right, look at how weak he is, I couldn't even knock him down!"
A burst of laughter.
The laughter gradually died down, and one person whispered, "Let's not talk about others for now, what's the big deal about a woman in the army?"
"That's right, it's not for us or anything like that," the other man winked, and seeing the two people beside him smile knowingly, he continued: "It's getting in the way of doing things. Fighting is a man's job. His Majesty..."
"Shut up!"
The two men's expressions changed, they put down the bowls in their hands and covered his mouth. The other one looked around and was relieved when he saw that there was no one around.
"You dare to say anything? Do you think you can talk about His Majesty? Are you going to throw your head away?"
The man smiled pleadingly, "You spoke too quickly. I'm just so angry. Why can a woman who has no merit at all be allowed to enter the main tent? Just because she has a general father?"
"Jiang Zhiyu is at least a martial arts expert and has made contributions to Tianqi. What about Hu Yue?"
"The more I think about it, the angrier I get!"
The other two also fell silent.
After a long while, the three of them finally reacted when they heard the noise.
"Hurry up, stop thinking about these things and go train!"
"We're not the only ones who have a problem with her. Sooner or later, someone will step forward!"
They walked away in a hurry and did not notice that there was someone in the corner who was listening to everything they said.
…
Tianqi, the Sixth Prince’s Mansion.
After listening to Xiao Yanli's words, Uncle Zhang sorted out his thoughts and said, "From what Your Highness said, Song Shiwei is indeed a woman with deep thoughts. In the short term, it is indeed impossible to obtain any clues about the treasure of the previous dynasty from her."
Xiao Yanli nodded.
"The money Zuiyuelong has earned over the years is more than enough to support us."
But it also emptied the Zuiyue Cage.
I was speechless for a moment.
After a moment of silence, Uncle Zhang spoke up, "What about the Crown Prince?"
The emperor's attitude towards the prince is obvious to all. As long as the prince is around, even if Xiao Yanli succeeds in his rebellion, it will not be justified.
It’s a pity that Liu Jie was exposed too early!
Uncle Zhang sighed regretfully, "Your Highness, have you thought of a way to deal with the Crown Prince?"
Xiao Yanli pinched the bridge of his nose; he was also worried about this matter.
After all, the emperor himself said that as long as the prince did not commit any serious crime, he would always be the prince.
He had to think of something big enough to pull the prince down from that position.
Uncle Zhang hesitated to speak, then said, "I have a plan. It all depends on whether Your Highness is willing to give it up."
Xiao Yanli looked at him doubtfully: "What method?"
"Let Song Shiwei go and seek refuge with the Crown Prince!"
Xiao Yanli was slightly stunned.
"The Emperor will certainly be worried about the current Crown Prince having connections with the previous Princess. If there is any more evidence..."
"How do you ensure that Xiao Lingyu will believe it?"
Uncle Zhang raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "As long as His Highness is willing, I guarantee that he will definitely believe it."
…
East Palace.
Since the emperor realized that he, the capitalist, had exploited them too much, Xiao Lingyu and Jiang Kang'an's working hours were greatly reduced, and Xiao Lingyu finally had time to return to the East Palace.
He took off his accessories and handed them to the attendant, who put them away carefully before slowly saying, "Your Highness, Mr. Ji has returned while you were away."
Xiao Lingyu paused in washing his hands.
Ji You is back?
"Where is he?"
The attendant observed his expression and said cautiously, "Your Highness is not at home, so I dare not act on my own. I have arranged for Mr. Ji to stay in the inn west of the city, thinking that I will make a final decision after Your Highness returns."
Xiao Lingyu wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said, "Well done. Send someone to bring the person here now."
The attendant responded.
Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Lingyu suddenly spoke up: "Hey, wait, you're quite clever. Why haven't I seen you before?"
The attendant turned around with his head down and said, "I used to be a sweeper, but one of the servants disappeared for several days, so the manager asked me to take over first."
Xiao Lingyu threw the handkerchief back into the water: "Okay, got it, go down."
The servant didn't dare to look at his expression and walked away with his body bowed.
Xiao Lingyu let out a sigh.
Although he really didn't want to admit it, but she was so smart that it was obvious that she was not from his family.
The group of fools in his house would only happily welcome Ji You home when they saw him coming back!
He clapped his hands, and a person appeared out of nowhere in the room.
"Did you hear everything?"
"Your Highness, I heard it clearly."
The secret guard said cheerfully, "Don't worry, Your Highness. We have checked and there is no problem with this person's identity."
Xiao Lingyu remained silent and looked at him sideways: "You all listen to him?"
Xiao Lingyu's voice was gentle, but the secret guard felt a chill in his gut.
Even though he was stupid, he could still tell the difference between having a full meal and not having enough every meal!
