When the wise king heard this, he lifted his robe and walked in. Seeing this, Zhao Bing behind him frowned even deeper. He gritted his teeth and followed him in.
As soon as the wise king entered the room, he smelled the stench of rotting flesh and the strange smell of someone who had been paralyzed in bed for a long time. He almost vomited.
He swallowed hard, swallowed the nausea, then covered his nose and found Zhao Yao.
The moment he saw Zhao Yao, he smiled lightly.
"Huaian, I didn't expect you to be here? Do you know how hard it was for me to be tricked by you during the Chongqing Palace incident?"
Zhao Yao blushed slightly and turned away his eyes. After a while, he whispered, "Royal brother, why do you still have to mock Huai'an? At this point, we should all turn our spearheads towards the person who harmed us!"
Upon hearing this, the wise king nodded imperceptibly.
He knew who she was talking about, and he thought the same thing.
"Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point."
"My princess said that the emperor's uncle has a way to prove that Aunt Side was killed by Cheng Qian. Is this true?"
The wise king looked at Zhao Bing.
Zhao Yao frowned upon seeing this, looking solemn.
Sure enough, Zhao Bing shook his head and said, "You think Zhao Ying is you? The evidence has been destroyed by her long ago."
If he wasn't the mastermind behind her assassination, the speculation from this... was equivalent to two wolves testing each other, just a tacit test, how could there be evidence?
When the wise king heard this, his face instantly drooped, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Bing and Zhao Yao was no longer as gentle as before.
He sighed and stood up. "Since that's the case, I won't bother you any more. Goodbye!"
Useless people, why is he talking nonsense to them?
That bitch had deceived him! When he returned, he would whip that bitch's corpse three hundred times to vent his anger!
Just as the virtuous prince was about to leave, Zhao Yao suddenly called out to him, "Brother, don't go. I have a plan!"
The wise king did not stop.
Seeing that the virtuous king didn't believe her at all, Zhao Yao had no choice but to use her trump card. She asked anxiously, "Royal brother, do you know that Zhao Ying is not our father's biological child?"
The virtuous king paused, then slowly turned his head, his eyes brightening slightly, "What did you say?"
Zhao Bing's heart twisted when he saw this. He hurriedly reached out to pull the virtuous king away, ignoring the pain in his body. "Huai'an is crazy, don't listen to her!"
Zhao Yao supported herself with her hands and crawled forward a few steps, half of her body sticking out of the bed. She said firmly, "I'm not crazy. I have evidence to prove it! Brother, if you believe me, I will definitely bring down the entire Eastern Palace and make Zhao Cong fall into eternal damnation!"
The virtuous king pushed Zhao Bing away.
…
Zhao Bing was driven out. Zhao Yao and the virtuous king had no idea what they had said in the room. Zhao Bing only knew that when the virtuous king left, he looked excited and eager to try...
Zhao Bing hurried into the house and advised Zhao Yao, "Yao'er, don't make any more mistakes!"
Zhao Yao was no longer willing to listen to him. After a dismissive look, she continued with some sarcasm and finally said graciously, "My brother will take us to the Xianwang Mansion in a while. You should come with us. For the sake of your attentive service to us mother and daughter..."
Zhao Bing sneered in his heart. She was not doing this because he took care of them, but because he cut off his flesh for her!
The Xianwang Mansion.
The virtuous king was so excited all the way that when he returned to his palace, he hurriedly called over his most trusted confidant, Shao Yihui.
After a cup of tea, Shao Yihui came in slowly, calm and composed, with steady steps.
The man had picturesque eyebrows, eyes like deep pools, a tall and straight nose, and thin and rosy lips. He was truly handsome. Although he was wearing a dark red robe, it made his skin look like snow, and he looked luxurious and elegant. Compared with the wise king, he was more elegant and majestic.
The corners of his lips are always slightly raised, giving people a sense of being in control of everything, making him unpredictable and difficult to guess.
He lifted his robe and bowed, his voice clear and unyielding, "Your Highness..."
The wise king turned around and looked at the man in front of him. He was suddenly distracted, but recovered in an instant.
The virtuous king couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Shao Yihui was so handsome that even he, a man, was dazed when he saw him.
But besides being dazed this time, he felt something more strange. He suddenly felt that Shao Yihui's eyebrows and eyes looked familiar... Maybe he had seen him many times.
The virtuous king raised his hand lightly, "Yihui, no need to be polite."
"I'm asking you to come here because I've just learned of a secret and I'm unsure how to handle it. You're the person I trust most, so I'm here to ask for your advice!"
The virtuous king has always been respectful to the wise and humble, so he has many retainers. Shao Yihui is the most intelligent and wise among his retainers.
Shao Yihui said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please speak!"
"You know that I am determined to ascend the throne. Last time you said that the Eastern Palace was in trouble, I can take advantage of this opportunity. Now I have learned another piece of news. Princess Chengqian..." The virtuous king lowered his voice, "is not the daughter of the current emperor!"
Shao Yihui was shocked, "Does Your Majesty have evidence?"
The virtuous king smiled faintly and shook his head, "I don't have any."
"But... before she was deposed, Huai'an learned the mystery of Cheng Qian's life and hid the witness. After the Chongqing Palace incident, she wanted to reveal it, but Cheng Qian used her children as a threat. Huai'an had no choice but to endure it. However, she had already hidden the witness somewhere where Cheng Qian couldn't find him."
"Huai'an told this to the king, hoping to use me to avenge her. However, this matter is of great benefit to the king, with no harm at all."
Shao Yihui took over the conversation, "The Eastern Palace's status is entirely due to His Majesty's favoritism towards Empress Xiaomin. If Princess Chengqian is not His Majesty's daughter, it will be considered that Empress Xiaomin is unfaithful, and the Crown Prince's bloodline will also be questioned. Even if the Crown Prince is truly a royal child, and Empress Xiaomin has cheated on His Majesty, His Majesty will not be able to find Empress Xiaomin to settle the score, and will vent his anger on the Crown Prince, and he will be finished."
The wise king's eyes lit up, "That's right!"
Shao Yihui narrowed his eyes and said seriously, "Your Highness, please inform me of the whole story so that I can give you advice!"
"Alright! I'll talk to you!"
The two of them talked by candlelight for a whole day and night, and finally arranged the entire plan to reveal their life stories in detail, ready to be put into action.
On the other hand, Zhao Ying and Shangguan Shu had also discussed a plan to assassinate King Xian and frame King Yue, killing two birds with one stone.
Just as the virtuous king took Zhao Yao and his party to the scene and settled them down, Zhao Yao felt relieved and handed over the location of the Tibetan Queen Po. To reassure himself, the virtuous king went to look for her himself.
As soon as he went out, he was shot through the heart.
The business was not even halfway started when it collapsed...
The wise king spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at the arrow in his chest, and died with his eyes open.
When the news reached Prince Xian's mansion, everyone was shocked.
Zhao Yao's butt hasn't even warmed up yet, and she's about to be homeless again.
A saying echoed in her mind: lean on the mountain and it will fall; lean on the water and it will dry up...
Is she so unlucky?
At this moment, Zhao Bing said to her with a look of relief, "It's all good. This arrow killed the virtuous king, but saved you!"
Zhao Yao couldn't hold it in any longer and yelled at Zhao Bing.
Hall of Light.
Shangguan Shu sent Heng Chen and Heng Ye into the palace.
As soon as he met Shangguan Qingyue, the little guy was drinking milk and suddenly vomited it.
[Fuck… Second Brother, Fourth Brother…]
The next second, Shangguan Qingyue blocked his nose.
