"Brother came to see me just now, and I just found out that the Gu that infected him was the Merciless Gu.
I guess that my senior brother must really like my sister-in-law, who he can keep by his side and marry.
My sister-in-law is probably the person who can least accept that my senior brother has suddenly become like this.
Sister-in-law, don't feel bad.
Even if you hear those cruel words from your senior brother, don't take them seriously.
It was all caused by that harmful thing. Even without that thing, my brother would still care about you."
"I know. I'm not afraid of his current attitude towards me. I'm just afraid that the person who put the poison on me will use it to control him in the future.
You also know before, what happened when your senior brother and I first arrived in this great Han city, and the conflict that occurred with the Gongsun family.
This poison is 100% certain to have been planted by the government, and your senior brother was also wearing a mask at the time.
No one knows me, so before the people of the Gongsun family know that it is Jun Yumo who has been poisoned, we must find a way to cure Jun Yumo and take down the Gongsun family."
Nangong Yao!
Chaoge said he wanted to overthrow Gongsun?
Even someone like Jun Yumo had never thought of interfering in the affairs of their Zhannan Kingdom. Even though he had complained to him about those things, he had no intention of asking.
And this weak woman in front of him actually said that she wanted to overthrow Gongsun?
After the shock, there was more curiosity in Nangong Yao's eyes.
He swallowed and spoke again: “Sister-in-law, I understand what you mean.
But, but do you know what Gongsun family means?
Also, I heard that you, sister-in-law, are just an ordinary woman. Although you know some medical skills...but the power of the Gongsun family really cannot be underestimated."
Chaoge knew that Nangong Yao would definitely not believe her, and she actually had no way to explain her abilities to Nangong Yao.
But now, she just needs Nangong Yao to do as she says.
"Tell me first, besides being the best in poison, what other powers does the Gongsun family have?
Once I understand it clearly, it will be easier to start.”
Looking at Chaoge's cold expression and calm temperament.
He did not get anxious because of his disbelief. Instead, he spoke calmly. Nangong Yao inexplicably had some hope for Chaoge.
"The Gongsun family has grown over the past hundred years, and their influence is almost all in Zhannan State, but they already have an army of 300,000 soldiers.
You know, our Zhannan Kingdom has only 800,000 soldiers and horses in total, while the Gongsun family alone has 300,000.
In addition, half of Zhannan Kingdom’s trade is in their hands.
Also, there is the Gu that his family feeds with blood.
It is said that no one can cure the poison in their family.
I don’t know if it’s true, so for all these years, everyone has been respectful to the Gongsun family and no one dares to provoke them.”
"The blood of the Gongsun family is so valuable?
Haha, is there no one who can cure the poison they raise at home?
Let’s do this, first find a way to get the antidote from the Gongsun family.
But it has to be tonight, because tomorrow the eggs in Jun Yumo's body will turn into real poisonous insects.
I don’t know, by that time, the people of Gongsun family will not only be able to control the poisonous insect, but also follow the insect to find Jun Yumo.
If they knew that Jun Yumo was poisoned, I'm afraid these countries would be in chaos.
Secondly, if they knew that they could use Gu to control Jun Yumo, they would definitely take other actions.
Therefore, we must find a way to cure the poison tonight.
You have to know that if you control Jun Yumo, not only will the country of Zhannan fall into the hands of his Gongsun family.
They can also use Jun Yumo's power and, together with Zhannan Kingdom, obtain Dongxiang Kingdom, and may even go to war with Beiping Lu.
I believe that Your Majesty would not want to see all this, right?"
Listening to Chaoge's words, Nangong Yao's expression became more and more solemn.
"This is the truth. I didn't think about it that much before. Now after listening to your analysis, it seems that the matter is more serious than we thought."
“I don’t know whether Jun Yumo’s poison was put there by the maid of the Gongsun family, or when Jun Yumo and I were eavesdropping on their roof.
If it was done by the maid, it would be fine. But if it was done while we were eavesdropping, the Gongsun family would say something they shouldn't have said, and they would definitely think we were blackmailing them, and they would not hand over the method to remove the poison.
So, I need to find someone to pretend to be the person who goes with me to eavesdrop.
Moreover, this person must be someone who can pretend to cooperate with the Gongsun family to overthrow His Majesty."
The more Nangong Yao listened, the more confused he became. He could understand some of the words, but he felt that there were others that he didn't quite understand.
Looking at Nangong Yao's confused eyes, Chaoge directly made his request.
"The eldest grandson of the Eastern Prime Minister should be in your Great Han City. If possible, Your Majesty, can you help me find him within three hours?
But don’t tell Jun Yumo about these things.
Now that Jun Yumo has been poisoned, he hates me very much and certainly doesn't want me to do these things.
I'm afraid he'll interfere and things might change."
Hearing this, Nangong Yao suddenly understood!
“I understand, sister-in-law, you mean to let Dongfang Mu pretend to be with you.
When you go to negotiate, will Nangong Yao, considering Dongfang Mu's power, make peace and willingly hand over the Gu?"
"Yes, when Jun Yumo and I were eavesdropping, we learned about the Gongsun family's ambitions. I think he would not miss such an opportunity that was delivered to him for free."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yao immediately ordered his personal eunuch to secretly search the entire city for Dongfang Mu.
Chaoge could actually go find it on her own, but time was running out and she might not be able to find it before dawn.
Nangong Yao is the emperor of Zhannan Kingdom, and this is in his imperial capital. It would naturally be much easier to use his power to find someone.
Before, Chaoge had never thought of using Dongfang Mu to go to the house with himself. It was only after listening to the conversation between Nangong Yao and the eunuch and carefully analyzing the pros and cons that he suddenly thought of Dongfang Mu.
They had seen Dongfang Mu halfway on the road before. That guy was able to move in front and behind their carriage. Maybe he had been following them secretly to this great city of Seoul.
It would be best if they could find it, but if they can't, Chaoge will have to go there himself and offer to treat Gongsun Mengyu in exchange.
After giving the eunuch instructions, Nangong Yao turned his head and looked at Chaoge, with admiration still in his eyes.
"Sister-in-law, do you need me to do anything for you after this?"
"Don't you want to move to Gongsun's house?
I'll just take this as revenge for my husband and help you out while I'm at it.
When the time comes, you should first expose Gongsun Mengyu's identity and pretend to be angry with the Gongsun family.
As for what happens next, you just wait for the result."
