Old man Wang became more and more excited as he spoke, and clapped his hands, "No, we can't let anyone snatch such a good thing away. Let's go, go back and save people." After that, old man Wang grabbed Yang Yueqi and walked back, his eyes shining.
Qiuliang wanted to follow.
Yun Xiaozi held her down and whispered, "If the old man wants to save people, he can definitely do it. Besides, I see that your young master doesn't seem to be resisting. His injuries are quite serious. If the old man is willing to help, it might be a good thing for him..."
Qiu Liang frowned and looked at Yun Xiaozi.
Yun Xiaozi's scalp tingled when he was looked at: "What's wrong?"
"I hope nothing happens to my young master, otherwise... I will kill you."
Qiu Liang was not stupid, so how could she not see that this old man Wang was extraordinary? But she always felt that something was wrong.
There is something wrong with Yun Xiaozi too.
When Yun Xiaozi heard this, he immediately showed his big white teeth, "Okay, if you need anything, just kill me, and I'll kill you."
Qiuliang: ...?
…
Soon it was the day before Emperor Huichen’s birthday banquet.
Over the past month, Qi Xue's power has been completely stripped away. Now, apart from the title of a prince, she is nothing but a crown prince. She has also been confined to the prince's mansion by the angry Emperor Huichen for repeatedly "making mistakes" over trivial matters.
"I heard that at tomorrow's birthday banquet, your old emperor will publicly appoint Yang Zhao as the crown prince." A charming woman smiled at the gloomy Qi Xue, "You lose."
"impossible!"
Qi Xue looked at the woman with an unpleasant expression: "Do you think anybody in my Qi Kingdom can become the crown prince?"
"My father... must be planning something."
Although Qi Xue didn't want to admit it, her father was indeed a cruel and resourceful emperor. If he hadn't been seriously ill, she would not have been able to capture Qi for five years.
But in just a few months, all her years of hard work were wasted.
She was unwilling to give in.
He looked at the woman and said, "Didn't your master say he would help me?"
"Over the years, I have provided your master with so many fresh beauty pills. Once I lose power, your master will no longer be able to get the beauty pills." Qi Xue threatened coldly.
The charming woman Tao Huan smiled and brushed her bangs across her forehead: "Don't be impatient."
"My master didn't say he wouldn't help, otherwise why would I be here?"
"But."
Tao Huan's beautiful eyes fell on Qi Xue, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes: "Are you sure you still have the beauty pills? I heard that those young shoots you had on hand have all run away. Without the blood they provided, are you sure you can still make the beauty pills?"
Qi Xue was feeling a little irritable.
She had been having a lot of bad luck these days. Although she tried her best to block the news, the news of the search could not be concealed. It was precisely because of these things that Emperor Huichen found fault with her and put her under house arrest.
"This king has plenty!"
Qi Xue pulled out a bottle from her bosom and threw it over. "Take a good look at this! Even if I were to provide your master with this stuff for a hundred years, there would still be some left over. Besides... how do you know I'm out of tender shoots?"
Tao Huan opened it and sniffed it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The blood in the beauty pill must be fresh, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced. That's why Qi Xue raises those Miao girls, because their blood is the main ingredient in making the beauty pill.
As for why the other party doesn’t make it themselves.
This is because the recipe for the beauty pill is in Qi Xue's hands, and no one else in the world can make it except her.
Even the miraculous doctor can’t do it.
"It seems that I have underestimated Your Highness." After Tao Huan put the bottle under his sleeve, he stood up and straightened his clothes before saying with a smile: "In this case, then I will help Your Highness, but..."
"Your Highness must hand over the tiger talisman in your hand to me."
"What?"
Qi Xue frowned.
Tao Huan: "Your Highness has nothing now and is confined to this mansion. Do you think you can turn things around now?"
"If you don't rebel now, are you planning to wait until that fake guy takes over before you rebel? Don't forget, Your Highness, you are a woman. Even if you want to rebel in the name of that fake guy in the future, you will not be qualified."
This last sentence hit Qi Xue's heart straight.
She is a woman.
Therefore, not only did she not have the qualifications to inherit, but in the end she did not even have the qualifications to rebel.
How ridiculous.
Tao Huan saw through Qi Xue's inner emotions and continued to persuade her: "Instead of waiting until you are no longer qualified, it is better to rebel now. The winner will be the king. Once you sit in that position, who will dare to say that you are not qualified?"
"Of course, my master will fully support you."
"After all... her future plans will also require the support of you, the Lord of Qi. Therefore, this time we will definitely fully support your ascension to the throne. However, the prerequisite is that Your Highness must provide the troops yourself. Otherwise, even if I can bewilder your father, I will not be able to support you..."
Qi Xue hesitated.
Because Yang Zhao appeared in the identity of Jade Princess, her plan took a drastic turn. She was originally sitting on the Diaoyutai, and she only needed to help the other party plot against Yang Zhao, and then she could sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers.
She just needs to take the position naturally at the right time.
But everything happened so unexpectedly.
But even so, she still did not want to embark on the path of "rebellion", which went against her original purpose and would also make her bear the bad reputation of regicide in the future.
Of course, the most important thing is that she doesn't quite trust Tao Huan.
The tiger talisman can be used to issue orders.
It was a special force left by her grandfather. Although there were only a few thousand of them, they could defeat a hundred enemies at once.
It is also the only bargaining chip she has.
"Your Highness, do you not trust me?"
Seeing Qi Xue's thoughts, Tao Huan said with a half-smile: "If that's the case, then forget it. However, if Your Highness regrets it later, you can't say that my master didn't help, but that Your Highness didn't trust me."
Tao Huan stood up, twisted his waist and walked towards the door.
"etc!"
Qi Xue finally stopped Tao Huan who was about to step out of the door.
Under Tao Huanxiao's smiling eyes, Qi Xue finally bit her lip and agreed...
The next day.
Everyone in the palace was busy as hell. All the civil and military officials in the court also dressed up carefully today, not only because of Emperor Huichen's birthday banquet, but also because Emperor Huichen had specifically instructed it.
This birthday party must be grand.
Moreover, all officials were allowed to bring their families to this banquet.
Not only that, I heard that even the Mo Dynasty and other small countries around it sent people to give gifts.
