Bei Mingxuan had a cold face. He was sure that Kurihara Nako didn't know how to use puppetry.
But he didn't know whether the prince would do that.
But the only thing that is certain is that there is someone next to the prince who is very skilled in puppetry, and that person is the ironclad evidence to convict the prince.
He deliberately provoked Lin Yanran, "Anyway, the Crown Prince killed Lin Yanran, learned puppetry, and used it to control the Emperor. I don't care about the process involved, so Bei Ming Che, death! is inevitable!"
"No!" Kurihara Naoko panicked when she heard this. "The prince didn't kill Lin Yanran. It was that bitch who died by hitting her head against the wall. Moreover, the prince doesn't know puppetry at all. There's someone else controlling the emperor. The prince doesn't know about this. He's been kept in the dark.
What I said is true. You can ask the emperor. He knows it. "
"A person who has been controlled by puppetry for a long time will actively follow the instructions given by the caster. Although it may be unclear, it will be subconsciously ingrained in their minds. The Crown Prince has controlled the Emperor for so many years, so even if he no longer uses puppetry on the Emperor, he will subconsciously favor the Crown Prince."
Kurihara Naoko didn't expect Bei Mingxuan to understand puppetry so well.
Just when she was secretly proud that the emperor would definitely favor the prince.
Bei Mingxuan changed the subject, "Your Kurihara family members know how to use puppetry, but there are also people who know how to break puppetry... When the time comes, no matter who uses puppetry, it will be linked to the Crown Prince."
Kurihara Nako stopped talking. What Bei Mingxuan said was all true, but there was one thing she doubted and also her hope. Only the men of the Kurihara family knew how to remove puppets. But now, there was only one person like him left in the world, and that was her uncle, who had long since become a monk. It would not be easy to find him, but it was not impossible.
"With the Crown Prince's abilities, he's no match for anyone, nor can he rule this country." Kurihara Nako began to negotiate with Bei Mingxuan, "As long as Prince Xuan can save the Crown Prince's life and give him the title of Prince Xiaoyao, I guarantee that the future throne will belong to Prince Xuan."
"So good? I can't believe it." Bei Mingxuan knew that if he wanted to get more information from Kurihara Naizi, he had to give her hope. "The throne is a good thing. However, what I'm most interested in right now is where did you get the Ice Buddha Lotus, the cold poison, and where is the antidote for it?"
"Cold poison?" Kurihara Naoko said, "I don't know."
After she finished speaking, she realized that Bei Mingxuan suspected that they were the ones who poisoned Bing Folian. "I mean, none of us knew about the ice poison."
Bei Mingxuan didn't speak for a long while.
Kurihara Naoko was afraid that Bei Mingxuan wouldn't believe her, so she added, "It's true."
"I will keep you alive and collect the prince's body."
After Bei Mingxuan finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Kurihara Naoko trapped in the water dungeon, hysterical.
Outside the dungeon.
Lin Shangde had a sad face and was supported by Fu Cheng, waiting for Bei Mingxuan to come out.
"This old minister greets Prince Xuan." Lin Shangde wanted to salute.
Bei Mingxuan's conversation with Kurihara Naoko just now was mainly to let Lin Shangde know about his daughter's affairs, as for other matters.
He no longer needed to learn from Kurihara Naoko, as he had already learned everything from the Emperor. "Prime Minister, please go back and rest. As for the Crown Prince, I believe there will be no problem. After all, the Emperor has already returned to the palace."
"Okay." Lin Xiang really didn't know what to say at this time. He was so shocked and surprised to receive this news.
How could my daughter, who was originally a good person, suddenly become a different person, and she has been dead for a year.
"Your Highness." Lin Shangde took a deep breath, "I wonder if Yanran's corpse knows."
Bei Mingxuan didn't say anything.
Fu Cheng, who was standing by, whispered, "It is said that he was still in the mass grave outside the city. We looked for him... but we couldn't find him."
"Mass grave?" Minister Lin fainted without even being able to catch his breath.
"It's now certain that there is someone in the Kurihara family who can break the puppet spell." Bei Mingxuan ordered, "Immediately send out all the secret guards to search for them."
"Yes." Fu Cheng helped Lin Shangde leave.
"Do we have to look for it?" It was Chang'an's voice.
Bei Mingxuan turned around and asked, "It's so cold, why did you come out?"
"I woke up and saw you weren't there. Bai Lu said you were here, so I came over."
Bei Mingxuan smiled and patted Changan's head, "Can't you sleep without me?"
“…”What are you thinking about?
Chang'an was too lazy to respond. "I've asked the ghost doctor, and he says there's no need to look for a puppet remover now. Even if we find one, I'm afraid my father's body wouldn't be able to withstand the pain of the puppet removal technique."
"Let's find him first, then we'll talk." Bei Mingxuan's eyes were filled with deep sorrow. "Even though the ghost doctor gave my father medicine, he's been manipulated for too long. Sometimes he's clear-headed, sometimes confused."
Chang An looked into Bei Mingxuan's eyes and said, "If I were the crown prince.
I have already controlled the emperor's mind. I will definitely use the emperor to replace everyone in the court with my own people so that I can make plans for the future.
But the situation in the court is not like this now.
Have you ever thought about the reason? Did that Kurihara Naoko tell you about it?
"I'm thinking about Kurihara Nako's denial that she poisoned my mother with the Ice Lotus." Bei Mingxuan raised the corners of his lips. "Before, I didn't care about my own life or death. As long as I lived up to myself every day, that was enough.
But now that I have you, I don't want to make anything wrong with myself, so that I can spend every day with you."
Chang'an's heart trembled, but he didn't know what to say in response.
In fact, Bei Mingxuan and Chang'an both knew very well that it was almost a luxury to think of finding an antidote for the Ice Buddha Lotus.
But they would rather believe that there is an antidote to this poison than believe that it can only be cured by the heart blood of the phoenix that has been reborn from the ashes.
"Do you still remember that Prime Minister Lin was poisoned?" Bei Mingxuan asked, "Before, I directly suspected that Fusheng Sect had done something to my father.
But now it seems that perhaps Fushengmen just has some kind of deal with the Higashijima Kurihara family.
If Kurihara Naoko is telling the truth, then could the poisoning of my mother have something to do with the Fusheng Sect?"
Chang'an didn't say anything, his heart was pounding.
I really don't understand why Bei Mingxuan is so prejudiced against Fu Sheng Men.
Chang'an thought that the key point was that after his mother took over the Fusheng Sect, she had already regulated the phenomenon of indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
But Chang'an forgot the most important point, that is, from the time Nangong Qiuya passed away until she accepted it, the entire Fusheng Sect was leaderless.
