"Really?" Bei Mingxuan said calmly, "But she has already told the emperor that I was infected with the cold poison."
As he said this, he took out another piece of paper from his sleeve and gave it to Chang'an.
After reading it, Chang'an placed the paper directly in the charcoal basin. The paper quickly turned to ash. "I didn't expect that Princess Lan told her father exactly what she told the emperor about you being poisoned. I guess that's why no one intercepted us on the road to the South."
"I guess big brother is really disappointed with Lan'er right now." Bei Mingxuan's lips were full of sarcasm. He pulled out the wine jug from his waist and drank it in big gulps.
"I think it's certain. A good plan was ruined by his own daughter." Chang'an shook his head and sighed.
Bei Mingxuan looked at Chang'an and said, "From your expression, it seems that you are very sorry that my eldest brother didn't send anyone to seize the Qilin Military Talisman?"
Chang An smiled mischievously and said deliberately, "No, I just feel sorry for you. You and Bei Ming Yulan were a perfect match. You were in love and he was interested, but you were torn apart by worldly ethics."
"Why do I listen to you? It seems like I'm not a human being, coveting my own niece." Bei Mingxuan said, with a look of helplessness, and came to Chang'an.
He looked directly into her eyes and saw a hint of panic in them. Then he stepped forward, his nose touching Chang'an's. There was a hint of temptation in his deep, hoarse voice, "Gu Chang'an, are you jealous?"
Pooh!
Chang'an turned his head, trying to avoid Bei Mingxuan, but when he turned his face away, it seemed too fast and too carelessly, and his lips actually brushed against Bei Mingxuan's lips.
A moment of numbness made my whole body throb.
Bei Mingxuan clenched his fists in a place where Chang'an couldn't see him. He was trying his best to control the most primitive impulse.
Changan pretended to be calm, "Which eye of yours saw me jealous? This look is so wrong. Can you be more reasonable, Your Highness?"
Bei Mingxuan smiled, "Princess Xuan, your prince is very reliable. Moreover, he saw it with both eyes."
Chang An knew that Bei Mingxuan was just being sarcastic on purpose, so he was too lazy to argue with him. He said seriously, "If the eldest prince is sure that we only mention this to Bei Mingyulan and that we're heading to Zuo Shi Kingdom first, then he will definitely not make a move again."
Bei Mingxuan knew that Chang'an was deliberately changing the subject, so he naturally agreed.
"That's for sure. But according to the information I received, General Qin knew I was suffering from the cold poison, and it didn't seem like he just believed what others said. So, he must have known all along. So, the test that night was naturally to find out how I was doing after I lost the wine."
Chang'an thought, if it was true as Bei Mingxuan said, that General Qin already knew that Bei Mingxuan was poisoned, then it meant that Qin had already told General Qin about this matter.
"So that means that General Qin deliberately had your wine jug broken. If there's no wine, then your existence is meaningless, making it much easier to steal the Qilin Military Talisman.
After all, everyone knows that although Bei Mingxuan has no power or influence, he is not useless. Although his martial arts skills are not the best, they are not bad either. It’s just that he has never been valued by the emperor.
Bei Mingxuan didn't open it, but he agreed with Chang'an's idea in his heart.
At the same time, he was thinking that by following the clue of Qin Taiwei, he might be able to find out who was responsible for poisoning him with the Golden Lotus.
"Just one thing." Chang'an frowned. "If the eldest prince didn't take action because of what Princess Lan said, and the crown prince didn't take action because of Lord Lin's interference, then why did Bei Mingye intercept us here? Shouldn't they be waiting for us on the road to the Southern Kingdom? Why did they show up? And that Imperial Physician Yu, is he Bei Mingye's man?"
"Big Brother listened to Lan'er's words and didn't take any action. It must be because Lan'er kept it a secret. If something happened here, he was worried that he would be found out, so he didn't take any action. Since Lan'er didn't leak the news, then from what we have seen now, it is clear that all the evidence points to Bei Ming Ye."
Chang'an continued, following Bei Mingxuan's words, "The only thing that doesn't make sense is why that secret guard, after getting the news, ran to Nanhua Mountain to meet the emperor."
Bei Mingxuan was silent for a moment, but when he spoke again, he was laughing. "Really? Old Jiang is so sharp. Imperial Physician Yu's true master is the Emperor."
Chang An looked at the smile in Bei Mingxuan's eyes and pondered carefully. Suddenly, she understood the truth behind it. "It's not just that he's a hotshot, but he's also a real swindler. So the emperor should have known long ago that Bei Mingye has some connection with the people of Shijin Kingdom."
"I think that must be the case, but the person from Shijin Country might be someone hired by father to impersonate him. So even if Bei Mingye investigates secretly, he may not be able to find out. I didn't expect that father would drag the prince into this time." Bei Mingxuan smiled and looked at Chang'an. They both understood each other tacitly.
If the emperor wants to use this incident to intimidate the queen and Bei Mingye.
Doctor Yu is a good person to Bei Ming Ye, but he only let Bei Ming Ye recruit him for his own purposes because he listened to the emperor.
The emperor took advantage of the fact that Doctor Yu was Bei Ming Ye's man and accused Bei Ming Ye of colluding with others to murder his brothers.
As for involving the crown prince, it must be to accuse Bei Ming Ye of framing the crown prince. In this case, it would not be an exaggeration to demote Bei Ming Ye to a commoner.
As for the severity of this crime, it all depends on the emperor's mood.
Chang'an and Bei Mingxuan were so sure that the emperor was the one behind this conspiracy because those secret guards were only given laxatives.
If it was a real enemy, even Bei Ming Ye or other princes, these secret guards would definitely be poisoned to death, and even if they didn't die, they would be seriously injured.
Only the emperor was reluctant to poison the person he had trained with great difficulty.
If you understand this, then everything will make sense.
As for why someone wanted to impersonate Dongfang Ge, the prince of Shijin Kingdom, it was because this person was extremely conceited and arrogant. In order to seize the Qilin military token, he secretly ambushed and seized it, which was really a character that matched the prince Dongfang's character.
After another day's journey, they had arrived at the border. However, this border area was extremely chaotic, especially the place called Baishi Town.
"Your Highness," Fu Cheng replied, "further ahead is the junction of three kingdoms. Although Baishi Town is still within our territory, it's flanked by Zuoshi Kingdom and Shijin Kingdom, and it's particularly chaotic. It's still half a day's journey from here to Baishi Town, and it's already dark, so why don't we just stay here?"
"Okay." Bei Mingxuan gathered his cloak closer.
