Chapter 303: Palace Fight: Blunt Knife Cuts the Flesh, Simmers the Heart
Prime Minister Cao suddenly smiled, after all, Shen Hanqing was better.
He knew Shen Hanqing's purpose and what she wanted him to do.
He still fell into her trap, simply because Shen Hanqing was better at grasping his weaknesses.
He had no choice but to make plans for Qu Shu.
At first, Prime Minister Cao thought that Shen Hanqing was just a smart woman.
Now it seems that I was shortsighted.
When Shen Hanqing loves someone, he can plan everything for him.
Even if you don't love someone, you can still plan everything for him.
It is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Moreover, with Shen Hanqing's temperament and intelligence, if he were a man, he would probably be able to overthrow the court.
What a pity.
After Prime Minister Cao returned home, he had already made a decision.
So he gave his answer to Shen Hanqing.
When Shen Hanqing received the letter from Prime Minister Cao, she felt that it was expected.
As long as he has Qu Shu in his heart, this is the inevitable result.
Shen Hanqing tapped the table with her nails painted with red nails. Feng Chengyi couldn't sit still anymore.
But she did not intend to give Feng Chengyi a quick death. As the saying goes, a blunt knife cuts the flesh, but a slow fire simmers the heart.
She has time, but she has to play slowly with Feng Chengyi.
As for Prime Minister Cao's question about how she should cooperate, she just had to pretend to be sick.
The illness came like a mountain falling, how could I plan for Feng Chengyi?
So, a few days later, Prime Minister Cao suddenly fell seriously ill and was said to be unable to get out of bed.
He didn't even come to the morning court.
Feng Chengyi was still waiting for Prime Minister Cao to give him advice on how to get rid of the Shen family, when he heard this.
He rushed to the Prime Minister's residence with the imperial physician.
Prime Minister Cao was barely breathing, as if he was hanging on to his last breath.
After examining him, the imperial physician shook his head and said that he probably wouldn't live long.
This disease came on suddenly, so I can only take care of myself for the time being.
Feng Chengyi frowned. What should he do without Prime Minister Cao?
In the court, isn't it the Shen family that dominates?
Just as Feng Chengyi was about to ask something, Prime Minister Cao rolled his eyes and fainted.
What else could he do? Feng Chengyi could only reward Prime Minister Cao with a lot of medicine and then return to the palace in shame.
Prime Minister Cao, who woke up slowly, felt that the medicine given by Shen Hanqing was really powerful and even fooled the imperial physician.
It seems that he will need to pretend to be sick for a long time.
It was impossible for Feng Chengyi to remove him from his position because he still needed his presence to restrain the Shen family.
Of course, if he were removed from his post, Feng Chengyi would not be able to find anyone more suitable to be prime minister than Prime Minister Cao.
After returning from Prime Minister Cao's residence, Feng Chengyi felt exhausted.
Will Shen Hanqing let him go like this? No.
So before Feng Chengyi came back for long, Shen Hanqing came to see him.
That’s right, I’m here to annoy Feng Chengyi.
When Feng Chengyi heard that Shen Hanqing was coming, he was so angry that he overturned the dragon case and said he would not see her.
Shen Hanqing didn't care whether Feng Chengyi saw her or not. She left a box of things outside the door and left.
Feng Chengyi asked someone to bring the box in after a long time. He wanted to see what Shen Hanqing had sent.
He didn't dare to open it himself. He suffered a loss last time, and he was afraid that Shen Hanqing would tamper with the box again.
After the box was opened, there were a lot of things inside.
Feng Chengyi frowned slightly, feeling that these things looked really familiar.
He finally stepped forward to take a look, and his face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
The things in this box were all given to Chen Hanqing by him before.
Including the sweet words I wrote to Shen Hanqing before, they are now in this box.
Feng Chengyi kicked the box far away, his chest heaving with anger.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Hanqing! You are really great!"
What does it mean? I returned all the things he gave me. Are you trying to draw a clear line between us?
Feng Chengyi paced back and forth anxiously.
That night, Shen Hanqing left the palace.
It's a dark and windy night, it's time to kill.
At Lord Wu's house, he was still drinking happily with others.
After three rounds of drinks, he was dizzy and went out to use the toilet when he instinctively felt that there was someone behind him.
When he looked back, he saw a man in black.
Lord Wu was so frightened that he sobered up instantly. He took two steps back and was about to shout for help.
However, Shen Hanqing raised his knife and slashed it, and Lord Wu's head fell to the ground.
Shen Hanqing took out the list given by Feng Chengjin and crossed out Lord Wu's name with blood.
Then turn and leave.
As soon as Shen Hanqing left, Feng Chengjin appeared next to the corpse.
In the darkness, it was impossible to see the expression on Feng Chengjin's face.
He kicked Lord Wu's head and watched it roll away.
Feng Chengjin's heart was extremely conflicted. He knew clearly that someone like Shen Hanqing had no heart.
What she can do for herself, she can also do for others.
But he was still inexplicably distracted by this damn woman, Shen Hanqing.
He also knew that he should stop right there.
But in his mind, he couldn't help but think of the every frown and smile of that vicious woman Shen Hanqing.
He should hate Shen Hanqing and kill her.
He can't do it now.
Feng Chengjin stepped on the blood and disappeared into the night.
Feng Chengyi received the news the next day that Lord Wu had died.
The court officials also had different thoughts.
Compared with the previous two accidental deaths, this Lord Wu was actually beheaded.
Tell Feng Chengyi clearly that someone killed him.
The common connection between this Lord Wu and the two people who died accidentally before was Feng Chengjin.
But Feng Chengyi never believed that Feng Chengjin, that useless guy, could cause any trouble.
After much deliberation, Feng Chengyi decided to take action against Feng Chengjin in order to avoid any further complications.
He has made Feng Chengjin happy for so many years, so he has done his best for his father, hasn't he?
So, Feng Chengyi decided to hold a banquet to entertain Feng Chengjin.
As for the reason for poisoning him, three people have already died, and they were all people who had betrayed Feng Chengjin. If he said that it had nothing to do with him, no one would believe it.
So even if he poisoned Feng Chengjin, those court officials would not be affected.
Feng Chengyi thought his plan was perfect and he would be able to get rid of a waste immediately.
Little did they know that Shen Hanqing also knew about this.
333 asked Shen Hanqing, "What is the host going to do?"
Shen Hanqing responded: “I’m not going to do anything.”
333 was unable to react for a moment, "What if Feng Chengjin was really poisoned to death?"
Shen Hanqing leaned lazily in the chair and smiled: "As a villain, would it be difficult for you to deal with such a thing?"
333 suddenly realized, "Oh, I forgot Feng Chengjin is the villain."
It was all because the host was so powerful. He subconsciously felt that the host would help Feng Chengjin.
Shen Hanqing said unceremoniously: “Idiot.”
At most, she was just giving Feng Chengjin a reminder.
Feng Chengjin is already a mature villain and can handle this kind of thing on his own.
Shen Hanqing, however, has other things to do.
