Chapter 986 I still don't dare to see him
Shen Qiao indeed hadn’t heard about Princess Fuyun.
When Xiao Lanyuan came back, Fu Zhaoning started asking.
Xiao Lanyuan has his own source of information.
"She was with Yuan Yi, and both of them were injured. Yuan Yi's injury was more serious. Now Princess Fuyun is pretending to be his maid, and they are staying in the palace to recover. Neither of them has left the house."
After Xiao Lanyuan came back, he only rested for one day and then began to deal with various affairs.
The emperor has not summoned him into the palace yet. I guess the emperor is still a little scared at this time, worried that he might be infected since he just came back from Zhecheng.
This isn't the first time this has happened.
He knew that the emperor was a coward who was afraid of death.
Knowing the current situation in Zhecheng, the emperor would probably be too lazy to ask any more questions, because if he really wanted to ask, it would be very likely that he would be held responsible for those medicinal materials and food later.
The emperor is so stingy, how could he be willing to do that?
Therefore, I'm afraid he will delay this matter as long as possible until You Zhangwen enters the palace.
Xiao Lanyuan was too lazy to argue with the emperor at this moment.
Fu Zhaoning was a little surprised after hearing this, "I didn't expect that His Majesty Dahe couldn't successfully capture Princess Fuyun."
She thought that with Princess Fuyun's guards and Chenxiang, they might not be able to run far before encountering Dahe's secret guards and being taken back by them.
"So, this matter should still be up to Yuan Yi."
"Didn't Yuan Yi secretly follow Imperial Physician Park's carriage to Zhecheng alone?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
"Yes, he did when he left. Later, he must have had other people secretly following him."
"That is to say, the people they brought from Zhao Kingdom may not only be those who are on the surface."
"My Ningning is so smart." Xiao Lanyuan reached out and touched the back of her head with a very pleased expression.
Xiao Lanyuan was very pleased that Fu Zhaoning had thought of this immediately. It was no longer necessary to talk to her in such a laborious way, it was just a lot easier.
"How could you not have thought of such a small thing?" Fu Zhaoning glared at him, feeling that he was somewhat insulting his intelligence.
"However, what advantages does Minguo see in Zhaoguo that makes him want to cooperate with Zhaoguo?"
"I guess they are attracted by the emperor's stupidity." Xiao Lanyuan said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Um?"
Fu Zhaoning was stunned for a moment, then he understood what he meant.
"Because it's stupid, it'll be easy to cheat, right?"
If Zhaoguo is needed, you can use it first. If Dahe also wants to compete, Zhaoguo can just confront Dahe, and Minguo can completely hide behind and reap the benefits.
Moreover, Yuan Yi also said that Zhaoguo is not without advantages. After all, Zhaoguo is closer to Dongqing. If it needs to open mines or search for treasure houses, manpower will be needed. Minguo is too far away and there is no way to send so many people in time.
Then we can use people from Zhao State.
If there is any danger, it will be the people of Zhao who will be sacrificed.
Fu Zhaoning understood it all at once.
"Isn't it? They even pretended to be kind and sent two beautiful female doctors to the palace. The emperor really trusted them and didn't even think about why they sent those two people to his bed."
Xiao Lanyuan's feeling towards the emperor now is really a feeling of disappointment.
If the emperor behaved well and did not make any stupid mistakes, and protected the kingdom of Zhao, he really would not have the intention to seize that position.
The emperor was obviously quite smart when he was young, otherwise he would not have been forced to recuperate in Youqing Peak and not dare to return to the capital at will.
But for some unknown reason, the emperor's brain began to degenerate as he grew older.
When Xiao Lanyuan thought of this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he stopped talking.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Zhaoning looked at him as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I always feel that he shouldn't be so stupid."
Xiao Lanyuan recalled the emperor's high-spirited appearance when he was young, and the time when he was a teenager, when the emperor smiled at him kindly, then turned around and designed a plan to make him almost fall into a well and drown.
That time, he really couldn't tell that it was the emperor's design.
Later, they asked people to investigate but nothing was found. All the evidence showed that it had nothing to do with the emperor. If he hadn't trusted his intuition too much, he would have been deceived.
But why is the emperor so stupid now?
"I felt the emperor's pulse before, but I didn't notice any poison." Fu Zhaoning recalled the emperor's pulse. "However, it is impossible to be completely accurate when taking the pulse. If it is a chronic poison that has damaged the brain for many years, it may not be diagnosed."
Fu Zhaoning looked at him, "You doubt this?"
He probably suspected that the emperor had been poisoned, which had affected his brain over the years.
That might not be impossible.
"It's possible, but since you can't diagnose it, it means that even if he was really poisoned, it was only a very small amount on a daily basis, accumulated day by day--"
"I'll give him a closer look next time I get a chance?"
If he really wanted to confirm this, she could find a way to draw blood from the emperor so that blood tests could be accurate.
But Xiao Lanyuan shook his head.
"No, there's no need."
Even if his guess was correct, it was too late now. The emperor would only become more stupid and there was no guarantee that he could be cured.
Moreover, the emperor had tried to kill him many times, and he was not the kind of person who would repay evil with kindness, so he didn't want Fu Zhaoning to suffer the pain of treating the emperor.
If this matter were to be exposed, the emperor might put the blame on her or him. Wouldn't that be looking for trouble?
He didn't need it anymore, and Fu Zhaoning was not prepared to take on the responsibility.
that is--
Looking at the maid sweeping the last bit of snow outside and feeling the tranquility of the palace, Fu Zhaoning felt a little melancholy.
"If something really happens to him, will the capital be in chaos? Can the peace of the palace be preserved?"
Xiao Lanyuan followed her gaze and looked out.
"We can also find another place to live permanently. We don't have to stay in the capital."
"I'm afraid that when that day comes, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
As Xiao Lanyuan is at the center of such power, once there is chaos in the palace, he will definitely be dragged into the vortex.
Xiao Lanyuan looked at her and reached out to gently touch her head.
"Do you regret it?"
"ah?"
"You were the one who lit my name on the street. Now you feel that my identity is troublesome and may drag you into the dispute. But you can't regret it. Once you make a choice, you must be firm. Do you understand?"
“Puff.”
Although he spoke very seriously, Fu Zhaoning couldn't help laughing when he heard him say that.
Seeing her laughing, Xiao Lanyuan directly sealed her lips.
After a long kiss, Xiao Lanyuan held her face and asked, "Shall we go to Youqing Peak?"
This matter——
Fu Zhaoning had agreed before, so there was nothing to refuse now.
"When do we leave?"
