Shangguan Zhu's eyes lit up, "What a great idea!"
Shangguan Shu gave a secretive smile and continued, "Now that Tan Zhi is away, if I need to entrust this to someone I can trust, I'm afraid you're the only one I can trust."
Shangguan Zhu also volunteered, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely take care of it now!"
Send Shangguan Zhu away.
Shangguan Shu called Yu Xi over.
"What's the matter, Prince?"
Shangguan Shu handed him an empty green medicine bottle.
"Your Highness has a bottle of deadly poison that kills instantly upon impact. It should be hidden on her. Go steal it and pour the powder into this bottle. Just fill Your Highness's bottle with some sand, soil, and flour!"
Yu Xi didn't understand Shangguan Shu's intention, but he would always do what Shangguan Shu told him to do.
Yu Xi had some skills. He and Yu Jie's biological father was originally a famous pickpocket. However, his stealing skills became so advanced that there was nothing left to steal on the street, so he was beaten to death by a group of his peers.
Their mother couldn't afford to raise them, so she castrated them and wanted to send them to the palace. However, when checking their household registration background, the eunuch rejected the two brothers when he heard that their father was a pickpocket.
Fortunately, I met the young prince of Zhenguo.
The young master was still ignorant at that time. He heard that they all knew how to steal, so he asked them to help him steal someone's heart!
They then practiced their skills hard, but the prince never said this again.
After Yu Xi left, Yu Jie came in again to report.
The difference is that the look in Yu Jie's eyes when he looked at Shangguan Shu was a little weird.
Shangguan Shu asked, "Is it finished?"
Yu Jie frowned and replied, "Sir, it's finished, but..."
Yu Jie wanted to ask how to use this thing, but he didn't dare to ask.
Are you going to raise a peerless beast?
Shangguan Shu's face was gloomy, his gaze wandering somewhere. He opened his thin lips slightly, as if muttering to himself, "It'll be fine once it's built..."
Yu Jie finally couldn't help but ask, "Prince, what is this for?"
"You don't need to know, just step back!"
Yu Jie obediently retreated.
Shangguan Shu was left alone.
He sat quietly for a while, then took out a piece of paper.
The first character is the three neatly written words "He Li Shu".
Shangguan Shu looked at the words above and suddenly smiled, feeling cool and chill.
There is no news from Zhao Ying yet.
Waiting for her divorce papers to arrive...
He then... imprisoned her!
A cage made of gold...chains inlaid with gold and jade...
She is his princess, he will never let her down...
It doesn't matter if she doesn't love him or hate him, as long as she is by his side.
At that time, he would arrange for Zhao Ying to "fake her death". Not long after the divorce, Zhao Ying would "die". He begged Emperor Jianxi to bury Zhao Ying as his wife, and Emperor Jianxi would certainly agree.
In this way, no matter her status or her entire person, she cannot escape from his control!
This is great...
Shangguan Shu raised his head, closed his eyes and sighed.
Zhao Ying... Zhao Ying...
The next day.
Zhao Ying handed one million taels of silver to Nanny Li and asked her to go to the palace to deliver it to Zhao Yao.
Then she dismissed everyone and took out the poison bottle Zhao Yao had given her, a clear pink bottle with a drawstring neck. From the outside, you would never guess that it contained harmful poison.
Zhao Ying was still thinking about how to "poison" the old Duke without killing him... Just as he was thinking, news came from outside that Yu Xi wanted to go to the warehouse to find something for Shangguan Shu, but couldn't find it.
Zhao Ying initially asked the maids to help look for it, but the maids couldn't find it either, so Zhao Ying had to go by herself.
Worried that someone might accidentally touch the bottle of poison, Zhao Ying had to carry it with him.
After arriving at the warehouse and searching for a long time, although they still hadn't found it, Yu Xi suddenly said he didn't want to look for it anymore.
Zhao Ying scolded Yu Xi a few words and went back with the maids.
Yu Xi placed the replaced celadon bottle in front of Shangguan Shu.
Shangguan Shu opened the medicine cabinet without saying a word and put the celadon bottle inside.
Then he left the study.
…
Zhao Ying was walking towards Gan Garden when she suddenly stopped and walked towards... Shangguan Shu's study.
She remembered that Shangguan Shu had a bottle of fake death medicine in his medicine cabinet. Wouldn't it be better if she took some and poured the medicine on the old duke to deceive Zhao Yao temporarily?
At this time, Shangguan Shu didn't often stay in the study.
She went quietly and came back quietly.
Zhao Ying made up her mind, then asked the maids to leave and went to the study.
Sure enough, Shangguan Shu was not there.
Zhao Ying successfully opened his medicine cabinet. There were many kinds of medicine in it, and the bottles were also colorful. Zhao Ying recalled what bottle the fake death medicine was in... Shangguan Shu, this bastard, didn't even mark the medicine bottle!
It's a red porcelain bottle!
She remembered what Shangguan Shu said!
Zhao Ying searched for the red porcelain bottle and finally found it in a corner. She put it in her pocket and left quietly.
Not long after she left, the old Duke arrived.
Also looking for medicine!
His eldest son had previously told him that he had obtained a bottle of good medicine. He had heard that the injury on His Majesty's waist had been taking a long time to heal, so he planned to present the medicine to His Majesty.
Which bottle is it?
The old Duke knew all the medicines in Shangguan Shu's medicine cabinet like the back of his hand. After a while, he found two bottles of colors he had never seen before: one green and one black...
Who would put trauma medicine in a black bottle? Is there poison in the black bottle?
The old Duke clicked his tongue and then put the celadon bottle in his pocket.
Soon, Shangguan Shu came back.
Why?
Just because Zhao Ying gave Zhao Yao the one million taels of silver note in the morning, Zhao Yao was so happy that her IQ went up, and she remembered that Shangguan Shu had not yet removed the poison for her last night!
Zhao Yao didn't dare to anger Shangguan Shu again, so she asked someone to send Zhao Ying's antidote to Shangguan Shu in exchange for her own antidote.
Shangguan Shu then came back to get the medicine.
Then they discovered that the green porcelain bottle that originally contained the antidote was missing!
Shangguan Shu quickly called people over to ask, and it turned out that someone had actually seen it. A servant girl saw the old Duke coming.
Then Shangguan Shu remembered that the old Duke had asked him for trauma medicine. He had been thinking about Zhao Ying all the time recently and had actually forgotten about it.
The old Duke must have taken it, and he took the wrong one!
It’s obviously the black bottle!
Shangguan Shu went to Ning'an Hall without saying a word, and Zhao Ying happened to be there too.
Zhao Ying and the old Duke originally had a close relationship like uncle and niece, but things became strained over the Shangguan Qingyue incident. Today, the old Duke's attitude towards Shangguan Qingyue improved, so Zhao Ying had no problem with him anymore.
The two were chatting about Zhao Ying's interesting childhood experiences.
The old Duke laughed heartily. "I remember when Your Highness was little, he pointed at a tree full of green fruit and insisted on eating it. Your Majesty said it wasn't ripe yet, but Your Highness said it was already red!"
"Hahahaha... Your Majesty and I have just realized that Your Highness doesn't know the difference between red and green..."
The corners of Zhao Ying's lips, which were originally smiling lightly, froze.
She can't tell red from green?
So what did she hold?
Shangguan Shu, who had rushed over from the study, just happened to hear these words. He suppressed the surge of emotion that surged when he saw Zhao Ying and couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, Zhao Ying didn't take the wrong thing...
