Chapter 217: Just right, adding fuel to the fire
Ji Suxian paused in grinding the medicine.
"It must be His Highness's mother." Poisonous Granny seemed oblivious. "She seems very sad. If it weren't for someone important going astray, she wouldn't be like that."
Poisonous Granny had seen that look on a man's face when she was young.
That person had been dead for many years. In Dayu today, few people, save those who were close to her back then, probably remember her. Emperor Chengming should remember her clearly, after all, he had a close relationship with that person back then.
What puzzled Po Po was that she hadn't heard anything about Xiao Qinggu's mother either before or after her arrival in the capital. Instead, the deposed Crown Prince and the eldest princess were involved in numerous scandals. Did Emperor Chengming seem to care nothing for Xiao Qinggu's mother?
Ji Suxian's expression changed, and he continued to grind the medicine, "I guess so."
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, the poisonous mother-in-law didn't ask any more questions.
The next morning, Poison Granny brought Xiao Qinggu some pills to suppress the poison. Xiao Qingxu stayed in Shang Yuwan's room all night, and he fell asleep on the edge of the bed and hasn't woken up yet.
He was already weaker than an average person, and he had been frightened recently, so he was inevitably a little tired.
Outside the window, there are lush branches and leaves. Three or two birds fly to the branches and peek into the window.
The person on the bed shook his fingers, then his eyelashes fluttered and he slowly opened his eyes.
“…”
Shang Yuwan felt a little confused.
Were we supposed to monitor Xiao Qinggu's martial arts practice today? Why was she still lying in bed?
Shang Yuwan slowly came to his senses after feeling a slight pain in his left shoulder.
Oh, she was bitten by Xiao Qinggu and then fainted.
How is Her Royal Highness the Princess?
Shang Yuwan moved his hands and Xiao Qingxu woke up immediately.
His back suddenly straightened up, "Wanwan!"
Because the action was too sudden, Xiao Qingxu's eyes went dark, "You woke up..."
Shang Yuwan: “…”
Why does Xiao Qingxu look even weaker?
Shang Yuwan opened his mouth and felt dry.
Xiao Qingxu quickly helped the man sit up, then turned around to pour tea. As soon as he finished pouring, Twelve rushed in.
“!”
Twelve's eyes welled up when he saw Shang Yuwan sitting safely at the head of the bed.
Shang Yuwan's face was pale. He smiled faintly at her and waved, "Come here."
Twelve walked towards her, sat down beside the bed, and looked at Shang Yuwan's face carefully. "I'm glad you're okay."
Shang Yuwan smiled faintly, his voice a little hoarse, "I am a lucky person who has good luck."
Twelve also smiled faintly, turned around to take the tea handed over by Xiao Qingxu, and fed it to Shang Yuwan bit by bit.
Xiao Qingxu: “…” This is clearly his position.
Xiao Qingxu said nothing, but quietly pulled a stool over and sat down.
After moistening his throat, Shang Yuwan's eyebrows and eyes softened a little.
She asked, "How is Her Royal Highness?"
Twelve was silent for a moment, then said, "It's okay. Poisonous Granny has already gone to deliver the medicine, which can suppress her poisonous characteristics."
Shang Yuwan was stunned. "Poisonous mother-in-law?"
"It's Master Shanhe..." Xiao Qingxu took over the conversation and told her the whole story.
After listening to this, Shang Yuwan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.
"Wen Qijun."
These three words suddenly came out of her mouth.
Shang Yuwan raised his eyes to look at Xiao Qingxu, frowned slightly, and said weakly, "Is he the one behind this?"
She thought carefully about everything that had happened since her rebirth. Everything was just right - she was able to escape from danger every time, and Xiao Qinggu was gradually moving away from Xiao Tong. Not only did he receive the recommendation of her and Xiao Qingxu, but he also indirectly received the support of Emperor Chengming.
It just so happened that Xiao Qinggu had traveled among the common people for many years and understood their suffering best. If Xiao Qingji and Xiao Tong were killed, the forces behind them would be eradicated, and the secret technique of the Gu beast would be completely destroyed. When Xiao Qinggu ascended the throne, with her and Yuan Ji and others by his side to support him, he might actually be able to create a peaceful and prosperous era.
In contrast, Xiao Qingji and Xiao Tong, seemingly caught off guard and severely injured, were gradually declining. With the secret technique of Gu Beast in Xiao Tong's hands, Emperor Chengming would not let her and Xiao Qingji off, nor would they spare their subordinates. Just because Emperor Chengming was physically weak didn't mean he couldn't destroy Xiao Qingji and Xiao Tong.
All this started after Shang Yuwan was reborn. She couldn't help but suspect that Wen Qijun was plotting against them. Moreover, he had planned everything before he died.
Twelve didn't understand and remained silent.
Xiao Qingxu understood what she meant, but said, "But he died a long time ago."
In order for Shang Yuwan to be reborn in Ah Chan's body, Wen Qijun had already died, and it was he who sent the body to Qu Qiguo. No matter how powerful Wen Qijun was, he was still a mortal. Could he really have such great abilities?
But Wen Qijun...
Xiao Qingxu's eyes changed slightly.
It's really weird.
"Is there any news from Qu Qiguo?"
Xiao Qingxu shook his head. "It seems his elder brother is up to something. Prince Qu Qi is dying. News from Yi Buyuan can't be delivered."
The information about Achan's life experience has not been delivered to us yet, but now that Xiao Tong and Xiao Qingji have had these things happen, it is of no use for the time being.
"I'm afraid his elder brother can't wait any longer and wants to kill Prince Qu Qi and take the throne himself." Shang Yuwan's eyes moved, a cold glint in his eyes, "Send someone to kill his brother."
Instead of beating around the bush, it's better to be direct and avoid unnecessary unnecessary details. As long as he dies, Yi Buyuan will be the only legitimate heir to the throne.
Xiao Qingxu thought about it and nodded, "That's good. It will save Dayu from having external troubles before its internal troubles are resolved."
He had only helped Yi Buyuan ascend the throne, but hadn't promised to help him stabilize the government. The civil unrest in Quqi Kingdom wasn't a bad thing for Dayu; at least it wouldn't affect the people of Dayu. As for the people of Quqi Kingdom...they were limited in their abilities, so it wasn't their fault.
Xiao Qingxu said: "When Ah Ying comes back, let Bai Xiaoye and Cheng Yishui take people to Qu Qiguo."
Shang Yuwan asked him, "What did they do?"
Being sent out at this critical juncture must be something important.
"Pick someone up."
Xiao Qingxu laughed, but for no reason, people felt a chill on their backs.
"Aren't they trying to divert attention? Then we might as well add fuel to the fire and warm them up."
Shang Yuwan also smiled and said, "That's great."
"By the way, Your Highness, do you want to practice martial arts today?"
"I don't know." Xiao Qingxu shook his head. "Xiao Tong and Xiao Qingji's spies in the princess's mansion have all been killed. Except for Emperor Chengming's secret guards, the rest are our people. I don't know if she wants to rest today or continue practicing martial arts."
Shang Yuwan lowered his eyes and said, "Help me up and go see her."
Twelve's expression changed. "No. You had your bones scraped for treatment yesterday. You can't run around today. You should rest well."
"......" Shang Yuwan's face turned pale. "Did someone scrape my bones yesterday?"
No wonder the pain made her memory blurry.
Twelve pursed his lips and said, "Anyway, you should just lie down and I'll talk to you about anything."
Xiao Qingxu also agreed with Twelve's words.
Shang Yuwan shook her head and said, "No, I won't feel at ease unless Your Highness sees me."
"I'll just go see her. She'll be fine. You know I don't sleep much, and I can't stay idle on weekdays."
Twelve and Xiao Qingxu: "..."
Shang Yuwan went to find Xiao Qinggu, how could the two of them feel at ease?
Shang Yuwan insisted on meeting Xiao Qinggu. Twelve and Xiao Qingxu couldn't persuade her, so they had to help her get out of bed.
Shang Yuwan had just stepped over the threshold when her feet gave way. If Xiao Qingxu and Twelve hadn't quickly caught her, she would have fallen.
Twelve: "I told you to lie down, but you refused to believe me."
How could scraping the bone to heal the wound be comparable to any injuries he had suffered before? Shang Yuwan was able to wake up today because he was worried about Xiao Qinggu.
Shang Yuwan rolled his eyes and asked, "Look what's under my feet?"
Xiao Qingxu thought she had hit her foot with a stone and looked down. "Huh?"
Shang Yuwan said, "Did I step in shit? Why is it so soft?"
Twelve curled the corners of his mouth and said, "So early in the morning..." Can you please not make such vulgar jokes?
Xiao Qingxu: "...Then let's not go. Let's go back and change clothes and lie down."
Shang Yuwan sighed and behaved himself.
"No, no, nothing! Go away!"
