Chapter 204: It’s ok to say he came to me in a dream
Chu Liuzheng bit the soft flesh on the inside of his cheek and frowned as he thought hard.
As I was thinking, I suddenly remembered something.
[By the way, if the tyrant and the fake princess's plan succeeds, wouldn't that be a ready-made advantage?]
Her eyes sparkled as she hurriedly dug out the gossip she had read yesterday.
I read it from beginning to end, and the more I read it, the more feasible it seems.
[Well, it takes a tyrant to trick Butterfly. I don't believe that Butterfly still has the heart to keep an eye on me after this incident.]
【However, there are still some areas that can be improved. 】
Xiao Jingfan pricked up his ears. He wanted to hear what this woman had to say.
[…For example, it would be better if the time was changed to New Year's Eve. Strength lies in numbers. Also, fooling just one person isn't a guarantee. The big, stupid guy is a very competent teammate and can be used. And this…]
Chu Liuzheng combined his years of experience as a melon eater and supplemented the plan to trick the butterfly in his mind.
Someone who was just trying to get some information took note of it.
If it really works, give this woman credit.
[Alas! I can't tell the tyrant. Even if I did, he'd have no reason to listen. If this plan doesn't change, while it's risky, it should work. I'd better not say anything more.]
Chu Liuzheng felt that he should think about what he could do.
[I can take advantage of the external threat now, but I still need to find a way to deal with the internal threat of the tyrant. As long as the tyrant, the big boss, is willing to protect me, I won't be afraid of ten more butterflies.]
[Hmm... What should I offer the Tyrant in exchange? The only thing I possess that the Tyrant would find desirable is the vast amount of information in the system, right?]
Hearing this, Xiao Jingfan became more spirited.
Yes, yes, yes! Hurry up!
Chu Liuzheng looked up the movements of the Jinyiwei and the secret guards in the system.
[Speaking of which, the tyrant has been sending secret guards to monitor the Wen residence. Perhaps he wants to find out why Minister Wen has contact with Prince Xiao. Otherwise, I'll reveal the reason.]
But the question is, how can I legally and legally learn such secret information? I can't just say that a deity appeared in my dream, right?
Xiao Jingfan, who was really troubled by this matter, wanted to drag a certain woman over and ask her to tell him now, immediately, and right away!
As long as this woman is willing to talk, let alone if a god tells her in a dream, even if he tells her in a dream, it will be fine!
If you don’t know how to make it up, I’ll ask the director of the Imperial Observatory to help you!
That old man can make up stories!!
Chu Liuzheng tried hard to think and make excuses, but perhaps because she was trying too hard, her brain was working too fast, and the quilt was too warm, so she accidentally fell asleep...
Xiao Jingfan, who hadn't heard his inner voice for a long time, said: "..."
So how are you planning to trick him?!
This was the first time in his life that he was so worried about someone, and a woman who didn't lie to him. He even wanted to help her lie to him. If this had happened half a year ago, he would have thought he was crazy.
Waiting anxiously, he twisted his bodhi beads for a while, but found it useless. He turned around and ordered Zhou Yuande, who had already returned, "Bring me the Heart Sutra and the Diamond Sutra."
Zhou Yuande was surprised. Why did he want to read Buddhist scriptures so early in the morning?
He recalled that it seemed that His Majesty had started reading Buddhist scriptures since he inspected the Firearms Battalion.
He stole a glance at the emperor's sullen expression, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this expressionless and excessively handsome face revealed an aura of indifference and the absence of desires.
In an instant, a thought that made his heart tremble flashed through his mind.
——Grandpa God, could it be that His Majesty wants to become a monk?!
"Zhou Yuande." Seeing that his chief eunuch didn't move, Xiao Jingfan said in a deep voice, "What are you staring at?"
"Your Majesty, I'm wondering where I kept these two Buddhist scriptures." Zhou Yuande bowed and said, "I'll go get them right away."
Xiao Jingfan said "hmm" and started to coil up the Bodhi beads.
He suddenly felt a little regretful about giving the three people who were originally serving in the tea room of Wenhua Hall a day off.
If Chen Xing and Si Yue were on duty, he could also order them to go and see what the woman was doing.
Is it really that hard to come up with a reason to fool him?
He quickly turned the Bodhi beads and thought to himself, how about he take the initiative to create an opportunity for that woman?
What should I do without arousing the woman’s suspicion?
Chu Liuzheng, who was soundly sleeping, had no idea of the tyrant's distress.
He was also snoring... No, because Wei Mingliang was in such terrible pain after being poisoned that he finally woke up from his coma.
There was a group of people gathered in front of the bed, swaying back and forth, making him dizzy.
He raised his hand weakly, intending to rub his head, but suddenly found that his hand was wrapped in gauze.
He was stunned.
He remembered feeling like he was poisoned, itchy, and he kept scratching, scratching, scratching, and then...what happened? Why were his hands wrapped in gauze?
Princess Xixia, who started crying again because she was too excited, wiped her tears and said, "Second brother, you are finally awake."
"Your Highness, I was wrong!" Tuoba Yong knelt in front of the bed, raised his hand and slapped himself, his voice as loud as a bell, "It's all my fault for being so reckless that I have brought Your Highness to this point. Please punish me, Your Highness!"
Wei Mingliang was already dizzy, and the sound of one crying and the other shouting made him even dizzier. He waved his hands feebly, and just as he opened his mouth, the tearing pain forced him to close it again.
He wanted to raise his hand to touch his mouth, but Princess Xixia hurriedly said, "Don't move!"
She signaled the maid to bring a mirror and hold it in front of Wei Mingliang.
Wei Mingliang looked up and was so shocked by the figure reflected in the mirror that his eyes widened.
Is that him in the mirror?
The gauze started from the lower half of the face and went all the way to the neck. Because it was covered by the clothes, I didn’t know if there was any gauze on the shoulders.
The lips were cut open, revealing two lips that had returned to normal size, but there were too many wounds on the surface, covered with blood scabs, which looked very scary.
The Second Prince, who has always been a romantic man, couldn't accept it. How could he become like this, neither human nor ghost?
"Second brother, the imperial physician Wei said that once the scabs fall off, everything will be back to normal," Princess Xixia consoled him. "I brought some ointments that are incredibly effective at removing scars. I'll give them to you."
Wei Mingliang: “…”
He closed his eyes, endured the tearing pain and said, "Sir, please stay."
His voice was weak and he didn't want to say another word.
Tuoba Yong was unwilling to leave without being punished, so Zhao Shiqi raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "Be good and get out first."
Tuoba Yong had no choice but to stand up and lead everyone out with the Xixia Princess.
The room quieted down. Zhao Shiqi sat down beside the bed and asked, "How do you feel, Your Highness?"
"Fine."
As he woke up, Wei Mingliang's perception became clearer little by little.
Intense pain continued to come from the wounds on his lips, face, neck, and hands. It was not a pleasant feeling, but it was not unbearable. It just made it difficult for him to speak.
He frowned and asked as quietly as possible, "What poison did I take?"
Zhao Shiqi handed him a cup of warm water and said, "The symptoms are similar to those of the itching powder, but the toxicity is even more severe. Furthermore, the antidote for the itching powder will aggravate its toxicity, causing the victim to become delirious and mad, ignoring their friends and family, and ultimately dying of exhaustion."
"Sir, what you mean is..." Wei Mingliang switched to Xixia, "This poison was given to me by Emperor Shunguang as revenge for the humiliation he suffered that year?"
Zhao Shiqi did not answer, but asked in Xixia: "Your Highness, where do you think the poison was injected?"
