Chapter 351 Help Me Test a Poison
[Brainwashing the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wen Zhao was only the initial stage of her plan. Yin Lanci's ultimate goal was to have them serve as witnesses when she drafted the fake will.]
Yin Lanci wanted the two to testify before the entire world that the late emperor had indeed left a will, designating Prince Cheng as the heir to the throne.
Chu Liuzheng was secretly shocked.
[Wow! Good fellow! The Grand Master is the tyrant's teacher. No one's words are more convincing than his. If Yin Lanci succeeds, won't the tyrant become the shameless villain who disobeyed the late emperor's will and murdered his brother for profit in order to seize the throne?]
Xiao Jingfan's face turned black. This woman scolded him very smoothly.
[No wonder Yin Lanci was determined to capture the Grand Tutor even at the risk of exposing himself. In this matter, the Grand Tutor's weight is far greater than that of Prince Rui and Zhang Qian.]
Chu Liuzheng continued to look back.
According to Yin Lanci's plan, by the time she had reached an agreement with the Grand Tutor and presented the will, Prince Cheng had become her puppet. She could perfectly hide behind the scenes and influence the overall situation by manipulating Prince Cheng. The Grand Tutor would then work with her from both inside and outside.
[After the matter is accomplished and everything is settled, she will ask Prince Cheng to pass the throne to her, becoming the true empress. Wouldn't that be the end of the Sheng and Yong dynasties?]
By then, the blank imperial edict in Prince Cheng's hands would also fall into her hands. She had already made plans. On the first day of her ascension to the throne, she would issue a death edict in the name of the late emperor, ordering the death of all of the late emperor's descendants on the grounds of unfilial piety, leaving no one alive. This would leave the late emperor restless in his grave.
Chu Liuzheng frowned when he saw this.
[As expected of a ruthless character who sacrifices his life to feed a Gu. He's crazy! With so many princes and grandchildren, how many would he have to kill? Aren't you afraid of chaos in the world and nothing in the end?]
[I remember the late emperor was quite kind to his daughter-in-law. But not only was she poisoned to death, she even had to bear the infamy in her coffin. Why would Yin Lanci only target an emperor like him and bully him?]
Xiao Jingfan, who was also tortured:?
Am I not the emperor?
Chu Liuzheng quickly found the answer in the system.
[Oh, so it's because the late emperor looks so much like Taizu that Yin Lanci's hatred is concentrated on him. He's treating him as Taizu, the one who destroyed Dayong.]
[Hiss—this sister is so crazy. If she really becomes the empress, wouldn't she just drag all the emperors of Dasheng out of the imperial mausoleum and whip their corpses collectively?]
Xiao Jingfan:!!!
Although it was just a hypothesis, it still made him furious.
He pursed his lips, and murderous intent spread in his dark eyes like a tide, but he forced it back in an instant, condensing it into an extremely black and bright point, hidden deep in his pupils.
Don’t worry. Once we catch that crazy woman, we’ll settle these accounts one by one.
Chu Liuzheng didn't realize that she was just making a wild guess, so she gave Yin Lanci a lot of flirtation. As she was flipping through the newspapers, she spotted a piece of gossip related to the Grand Tutor and immediately clicked on it to see the details.
[Oh no, the Grand Master is about to have a car accident! ]
Xiao Jingfan's eyelids suddenly jumped. What happened? !
Chu Liuzheng looked at the gossip in front of him.
"Grand Master, Grand Master, please don't rely on your age to make up such outrageous lies! How could a tyrant have such a master from the Kunlun Mountains by his side?"
[He even waved his sleeves and thunder and lightning and rain and snow came. It seems like one person has done all the work of the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess. Does the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess know about this? I should have asked you to write the article when I wanted to trick the tyrant into becoming a charlatan!]
Xiao Jingfan: ???
[Marquis Wen Zhao, don't listen to the Grand Tutor's nonsense. Where's your brain? I just told you to pretend you were brainwashed, not to actually lose it. Don't you know how to keep your valuables safe?]
The more Chu Liuzheng looked, the more tired he felt.
Even though Yin Lanci's spies in the capital have been wiped out, that doesn't mean she can't learn about the situation in the palace. Grand Tutor's words might fool small fry, but if he were to confront Yin Lanci, his cover would be blown in a second! No one with a sane mind would believe that!
If Yin Lanci discovered that the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wen Zhao were deliberately deceiving her and playing her like a monkey, she would definitely give them a free, luxurious drug-like meal. By then, it would go from brainwashing to brain-gnawing.
Chu Liuzheng really didn't understand why the Grand Tutor, with his clever brain, would come up with such a bad idea.
[Am I too stupid to see through the Grand Tutor's true intentions, or has the Grand Tutor really been brainwashed by those people?]
It's really heartbreaking.
Xiao Jingfan's head was full of questions since he heard it just now.
Even with his understanding of the Grand Tutor, he was unable to understand from his mentor's heart what he wanted to do.
But he was more certain than Chu Liuzheng that the Grand Tutor was not mentally ill.
He believed that the Grand Tutor must have his reasons for doing this. Perhaps the Grand Tutor, who had penetrated deep into the enemy camp, knew something that they did not yet know, and these unknowns forced the Grand Tutor to come up with such an outrageous way of negotiation.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingfan secretly glanced at Chu Liuzheng.
Like many times before, the woman omitted some key information.
"Hey!" Feng Jing saw Chu Liuzheng was silent for a long time, so he waved his hand in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking about?"
"What?" Chu Liuzheng didn't bother to look for the Grand Tutor's intentions in the system. He closed the system and turned to look at him.
Feng Jing curled his lips and said, "You didn't listen to a word I said just now. I asked you to give me your hand so I could feel your pulse."
Chu Liuzheng suddenly remembered his not-so-serious internal injuries and obediently handed over his hand.
"You..." Feng Jing took her pulse for a while, then looked up at her face. "Your physique is not ordinary, right?"
He didn't think it was wrong before, but now he thinks about it, it's unreasonable that Chu Liuzheng, an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts, stayed in the same room with Jiang Yao who was in that state and remained conscious for so long, but he was only infected with a little corpse poison.
He himself was immune to all poisons, and Si Yue was guarding Jiang Yao, so he didn't notice anything was wrong.
Now, after taking his pulse, the details he had overlooked came to light.
Chu Liuzheng didn't understand and looked at him in confusion.
"If you hadn't been injured internally, I wouldn't have noticed." Feng Jing released his hand. "The medicine I prescribed for you should be able to cure the corpse poison, but your physique is different from that of ordinary people. The dosage is not enough, and there is still some residual poison in your body."
Hearing this, Siyue immediately remembered that the coach wanted to keep Chu Liuzheng as a drug tester.
She looked at Chu Liuzheng thoughtfully, and Chu Liuzheng asked nervously, "What should we do then?"
"It's just a little bit of residual poison. Even if you don't take the antidote, you'll be able to digest it all in a few days." Feng Jinghun didn't care, staring at her with shining eyes, "Can you do me a small favor?"
Chu Liuzheng felt the creeps creeping up her spine from being stared at, but thinking that Feng Jing had indeed helped her a lot, she asked, "What's the help?"
"Help me test the poison." Feng Jing grinned and took out a thumb-long white porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket.
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[Don't make poison testing as easy as eating! ]
