Chapter 227: Successful Strategy
"Sir, this is why those evil monks from the Buddhist Lotus Temple came to find me."
"As for how they knew where I was, I have no idea."
“.”
The candlelight in the room was soft, casting the silhouettes of a few petals on the wall.
You Jia had already told her "secret", while Wei Changtian lowered his head and remained silent.
As he expected, Youjia did not have any "self-strategy", but just talked about her Tianyin body.
Although this matter was not mentioned in the original book, Wei Changtian did not know about it before.
But there is no doubt that this level of "frankness" does not mean that Youjia has let go of the obsession in his heart.
Instead, it shows that she is still determined to complete the last mission for Ning Yongnian.
As for why he told himself, was it because he wanted himself to die with a clear understanding?
Wei Changtian's brain was working rapidly, while You Jia was silent for a while. Then she gently poured out the cold tea in Wei Changtian's cup, stood up and made a new pot of hot tea.
“.”
A cup of tea is clear and transparent, exuding a faint fragrance.
You Jia's hand holding the teapot trembled slightly, and she slowly filled the teacup in front of Wei Changtian.
"Sir, have some tea."
Under normal circumstances, there is nothing wrong with this sentence, and it is not abrupt.
However, Wei Changtian is now 100% sure that phoenix gall powder has definitely been added to the tea.
Although he had already taken the antidote, he would not be poisoned.
But if he really drank this tea, it would basically mean that his plan to capture Youjia had failed.
“.”
After looking at Youjia for a while, he gently picked up the teacup and brought it to his mouth.
However, in the next moment, Wei Changtian suddenly and slowly put down the teacup.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Youjia asked in a low voice, seeming a little confused.
But at the same time, her left hand on her knee moved slightly.
"Miss You"
Wei Changtian pretended not to notice You Jia's little action, and said word by word with a complicated expression: "I know how the evil monk from the Buddhist Lotus Temple found you."
It has to be said that this kind of game of truth and falsehood, where all efforts will be wasted if you are not careful, is really too stressful.
Wei Changtian is like this, and so is You Jia.
“W-what?!”
She almost subconsciously widened her eyes, her eyes full of disbelief.
However, the Dragon Guards had all undergone systematic training, so after You Jia realized his own gaffe, he quickly continued his performance based on his previous emotions.
"Wei, Master Wei, how did they find me?"
The tone and state of the two sentences are basically the same.
Ordinary people may find it difficult to notice the difference, but Wei Changtian knows it very well.
But he didn't expose it and just continued talking.
"Miss You, after rescuing you, I actually sent people to look for the remaining evil monks."
"Fortunately, they didn't escape far. I caught them all."
"Later, I ordered people to torture them to extract confessions, although they didn't know much, but..."
"But I did figure out why they knew you were a Heavenly Yin body, and how they knew you were in Shuzhou."
"Miss You, those evil monks said..."
Wei Changtian leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice.
"These were revealed by an important figure in the palace."
“.”
From You Jia's perspective, Wei Changtian is his enemy, and the previous plan was also intended to plot against Wei Changtian.
The scene where the enemy revealed his plan to him seemed ridiculous, but Youjia felt very complicated.
She looked at Wei Changtian, who only had a "half-understanding" of the truth, and after a long silence, she asked in a low voice:
"Sir, have you figured out who this person is?"
"No."
Wei Changtian shook his head with a bit of "regret" and asked, "Miss You, is there anyone in the palace who knows your secret?"
“No, no.”
“.”
Same answer, same lie.
One was very calm, while the other was having a difficult time.
Once again helping You Jia recall Ning Yongnian's ruthlessness, Wei Changtian paused for a moment and continued to increase his efforts.
"No matter who this person is, since he did this, he must have reached some kind of deal with the evil monks at your expense."
"I deliberately let an evil monk go. As long as we continue to investigate him, I'm sure we'll find out the truth sooner or later."
"Miss You, since you saved Wan'er, I will definitely keep you safe."
"Besides, now that you trust me so much, I will definitely not let you down."
"Don't worry, just wait for me to find out who is the real culprit behind this."
In an instant, the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.
Looking at You Jia who was breathing rapidly, Wei Changtian suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Even if he is the emperor, I will definitely kill him and save you from future troubles!"
“.”
Ning Yongnian treats you as a chess piece that can be sacrificed at will, and asks you to exchange your life for mine.
But I am willing to kill the emperor for your safety.
When Wei Changtian swapped the positions of the three people with just one sentence, this change in status brought a huge shock to You Jia.
She had only heard of stories about risking one's life for a beautiful woman in martial arts stories, and had never thought that she could become the protagonist in one of them.
"Wei, Prince Wei"
You Jia suddenly raised her head, and a few tears had already slipped down from the corners of her eyes.
But she didn't even know whether these tears were for Ning Yongnian or Wei Changtian.
"Why are you willing to do this to me?"
"I said, because you saved Wan'er."
Wei Changtian placed the handkerchief embroidered by Yuan'er next to You Jia's hand and slowly replied, "Miss You, I have a bad reputation and I don't think I am a gentleman."
"But I always believe that all efforts must be rewarded with equal value."
“It’s the simplest truth that people get along with each other.”
"You helped me before, but now you are in trouble and I am indifferent. That is not my way."
"If I really did that, I would look down on myself."
After making a subtle allusion to Ning Yongnian, Wei Changtian felt that the time was almost right, so he gently raised the teacup.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, everything that needs to be tried has been tried, and the atmosphere has been created.
If Youjia continued to watch him drink the tea, Qin Zhengqiu would break in within ten breaths and kill her on the spot.
Only a few inches of the burning candle were left, and because the wick had not been flicked out, the candlelight became a little dim.
The exquisite teacup was raised neither fast nor slow, and in an instant the rim of the cup gently touched Wei Changtian's lower lip.
So. Did it fail?
It seems that human obsession is indeed a terrible thing.
Taking one last look at You Jia, who was lowering her head and not daring to look at him, Wei Changtian suddenly remembered a piece of chicken soup from his previous life.
Obsession is not God's reward for your complete love for you, but a punishment for you for deceiving yourself.
Forget it, that's it.
He sighed and prepared to drink the cup of tea that would decide Youjia's life or death.
But at this moment, a trembling voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"Sir, didn't you say you had something to tell me?"
Huh? Wei Changtian then remembered that he had indeed said so at the beginning.
But I have already said everything I wanted to say. What can I do if you are unmoved? With an indifferent attitude, Wei Changtian casually said:
"Miss You, I actually like you."
“.”
“Clang, clang, clang!”
