Chapter 922 Injured
"My accomplice is Wang Gan, who has united all the noble families in Shengjing City to support my succession to the throne. As long as I can kill you, they will cooperate with me, wipe out all your confidants, and support me to ascend the throne. Is that okay?"
When Luo Yanzhi said these words, his heart was filled with humiliation.
Luo Qinghan: "Wang Gan is also in the Imperial Ancestral Temple?"
Luo Yanzhi said with an almost distorted expression: "Yes."
Luo Qinghan looked at Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian understood and immediately stepped forward to answer truthfully.
"I have ordered people to turn the entire Imperial Ancestral Temple upside down, but I didn't see Wang Gan."
Luo Yanzhi immediately retorted: "You must have missed something. Wang Gan came with me. He must be hiding now."
Zhao Xian had no choice but to take people to search again.
This time again nothing was gained.
Luo Qinghan believed in Zhao Xian's ability to do things. Since he had led people to search the Taimiao twice and still failed to find Wang Gan, it could only mean that Wang Gan was not in the Taimiao at all.
Luo Yanzhi also thought of this.
His lips trembled slightly, and he murmured, "How could Wang Gan not be here? He must be here, he must be here."
Luo Qinghan: "It seems that Wang Gan ran away a long time ago. He knew that the assassination would not succeed, so he left you behind and left first."
There was clearly no expression on his face, but in Luo Yanzhi's eyes, it was full of pity.
That was mercy from a superior, and was more difficult to accept than direct ridicule.
Luo Yanzhi's face turned pale and his lips opened and closed.
It took him a long while to finally squeeze out a sentence.
"Why?"
Since Wang Gan knew that he would not succeed, why did he encourage him to hire assassins to ambush Luo Qinghan?
This doesn't make sense!
Luo Qinghan said calmly.
“This is exactly what confuses me.
I originally thought that Wang Gan wanted to support you to ascend to the throne, avenge his father and find a way out for his family.
But now it seems that Wang Gan doesn't really support you.
To him, you are just a chess piece.
But what is the reason?
Why on earth did he plan all this?"
Luo Yanzhi stood there in a daze, unable to turn around for a long time.
He originally confidently believed that Wang Gan and those aristocratic families were all his pawns.
Luo Qinghan is his opponent.
As long as he defeats his opponent Luo Qinghan, he will become the final winner.
However, the fact is that he is the chess piece being manipulated on the chessboard, and the person who is actually playing the game with Luo Qinghan is someone else.
His only role in this chess game was to be pushed out as cannon fodder.
The chest that was filled with resentment just now was now replaced by great confusion.
He didn't even know why he had come to this point?
He began to question everything about himself.
Luo Qinghan didn’t have the mind to figure out what Luo Yanzhi was thinking. He just glanced at Zhao Xian.
"Take him away and lock him up in the Dali Temple."
"Yes."
The guards escorted Luo Yanzhi out.
This time, Luo Yanzhi did not struggle or yell. He looked confused and frightened the whole time.
Luo Qinghan turned around and took a look at the scene inside Yongning Palace.
The Empress Dowager was still in a coma, the imperial physician was giving her acupuncture, and Princess Hua'an was watching eagerly.
Luo Qinghan withdrew his gaze coldly.
"Return to the palace."
This farce should come to an end today.
…
Outside the Taimiao.
In the luxurious carriage, Xiao Xixi was eating snacks.
There were many dried fruits and cakes in the secret compartment inside the car, all specially prepared for her.
She ate while waiting for Luo Qinghan to come back.
Before she knew it, she had eaten all the snacks stored in the car.
It's so boring just sitting there.
She felt a little sleepy.
Just then, there was a light knock on the car door.
"Your Highness, I found a persimmon tree nearby and picked a few fresh persimmons for you. Would you like to try some?"
Hearing that there was something delicious, Xiao Xixi immediately said, "Bring it in!"
The car door was pushed open and a young eunuch walked in holding a fruit basket.
There are five big red tomatoes in the small and exquisite bamboo basket.
Xiao Xixi reached out and picked up the largest persimmon, and found that there were still water droplets on the persimmon.
The young eunuch explained, "These persimmons have been washed with water and are very clean."
Xiao Xixi was very satisfied with his thoughtfulness and meticulousness.
She opened her mouth and took a big bite. It was crispy, sweet and very refreshing.
The young eunuch asked expectantly, "What do you think, Madam?"
Xiao Xixi said as she ate, "It's delicious. You're a very capable eunuch. You even know how to bring delicious food to me. But you look a little unfamiliar. I haven't seen you before. What's your name?"
The young eunuch said respectfully, "My name is Yu Jiu."
Xiao Xixi bit the persimmon with a crunching sound while trying hard to recall the past.
"Yu Jiu? I've never heard of this name. Where do you work?"
The young eunuch raised his head and gave a strange smile.
"I'm sure you haven't heard of this name. After all, this is my real name."
He used his real voice when he said this.
The voice is deeper than that of the disguised eunuch.
Xiao Xixi paused while eating.
Just as she was about to look up at the other person, she felt a pain in her neck.
A silver needle pierced into her body!
Xiao Xixi froze in place, unable to move.
At this moment, the only part of her body that could move was her eyes.
She rolled her eyes and looked at the young eunuch in front of her, with obvious surprise and confusion in her eyes.
Yu Jiu: "Don't be too nervous, I just sealed your acupuncture points temporarily. You can't move until the silver needle is pulled out."
Xiao Xixi tried to use her internal strength to force the silver needle out.
However, the next moment she felt as if her internal organs were pierced by thousands of needles, and the blood in her body began to flow backwards!
A trickle of bright red blood flowed down the corner of her mouth.
Seeing this, Yu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"I was just about to remind you that before the silver needle is pulled out, you'd better not use your internal energy, otherwise your blood will flow backwards, your internal organs will be injured, and your internal energy will be severely damaged. If you are not careful, you will become a useless person."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
She really wanted to spit blood foam on his face!
How dare he not tell me such an important thing earlier!
Yu Jiu seemed to see the resentment in her heart, and his smile became even happier.
"It's not too late now. Judging from your condition, you shouldn't have reached the worst stage yet. It's just internal injuries. It's not a big problem. You will be fine after some rest."
Xiao Xixi was speechless and could only look at him quietly.
Yu Jiu: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. After all, you saved me before, and I won't kill my savior."
Xiao Xixi couldn't move or speak.
She could only watch him perform.
Yu Jiu was very satisfied with this. He liked the feeling of being stared at by her.
…
Good morning everyone!
Today's update is late, but I still want to shamelessly ask for monthly tickets!
