Hearing her say this, a light flashed across Caner's eyes.
Being able to serve the young master means being half the master of the sect.
But she knew Concubine Xiao's character very well. If she showed extreme excitement at this moment, she would definitely bear a grudge against her. After using her, she would think of a way to get rid of her.
"My queen, I am your maid, and I will always be your maid. It is my honor to serve you and the young master. I will never have any other bad thoughts. I just want to stay with you and accompany you for the rest of my life, and I will be satisfied."
Sure enough, after hearing her say this, the scrutiny in Concubine Xiao's eyes eased, and she said with satisfaction: "Instead of giving advantage to others, it is better to let the one I trust the most take this position. You are the most suitable choice."
Can'er said nothing, but just lowered her head even lower, looking extremely reluctant, which was exactly what Concubine Xiao wanted.
A slave should behave like a slave. If you praise her, she should be grateful.
Shang Ruoyi followed behind Jun Zegan. She looked at his heavy back and whispered, "Brother, is there anything I can do for you?"
Jun Zegan was immersed in his own thoughts and did not hear her words.
Shang Ruoyi's eyes flickered slightly.
I didn't expect that Concubine Xiao had such a great influence on my brother.
In fact, she heard their conversation clearly.
From the first time they met in the garden, Shang Ruoyi noticed that something was wrong with him.
The moment she saw Concubine Xiao, she clearly felt that his breathing was disordered for a moment and his body was a little tense.
But she didn't think much about it at that time, her attention was more focused on the gray robe.
When she saw him again today, she discovered that her brother's eyes would drift towards the inner room from time to time. It seemed that he was observing the emperor's physical condition. In fact, his eyes always fell on Concubine Xiao.
"Brother."
Only after calling him again did Jun Zegan come back to his senses.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother and Concubine Xiao have known each other before?"
Jun Zegan paused for a moment, then nodded: "We knew each other before she entered the palace."
Familiar.
There are probably not many people in the Western Regions who can be worthy of his brother's acquaintance.
"How ripe is it?"
Jun Zegan looked at her and said, "Why are you asking these questions?"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Nothing, I'm just a little curious. Concubine Xiao knows a lot of people."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing, I just didn't expect that she looked as holy as a lotus. In fact,...
Jun Zegan frowned when he heard this: "Explain clearly."
"What's there to say? I'm afraid it will dirty your ears."
"Noble Concubine Xiao is the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family in the Western Regions. The Xiao family is very strict in family management, and the kind of thing you described will never happen."
"I haven't told you yet, brother, why are you so anxious?" Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I saw it by chance." She touched the tip of her nose and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sure you have heard about the theft in the palace."
Jun Zegan looked at her fiercely: "Did you really do this?"
When Shang Ruoyi heard him say this, she knew that her brother had already suspected her, and nodded without disguising: "That's right, but did you know that Concubine Xiao's palace was robbed?"
Jun Zegan shook his head.
"I emptied her place too." Shang Ruoyi whispered, "I heard and saw some things in her palace."
"What's up?"
"Have you ever seen the Heavenly Master mentioned by the Western Region Emperor?"
He pondered for a moment and whispered, "I have only seen his back, and have never seen his true face, but the emperor has a heavenly master who is guiding him, and I know this."
"Letting the City Prince's Mansion attack Tianshun, seize Yanyun Prefecture, and massacre the city, this series of events were planned by Concubine Xiao and this Heavenly Master, and the two of them have already slept on the same couch."
Jun Zegan's pupils shrank slightly and his steps suddenly stopped.
Looking at her in disbelief: "You said..."
"It's all true." Shang Ruoyi said word by word: "If there is even a lie, let me..."
Just as she was about to swear, Jun Zegan interrupted her: "Don't talk nonsense. How can you make such a vow casually?"
"What's the matter? I've lied before, and I'm not afraid even if I swear."
Shang Ruoyi's words made Jun Zegan sink to the bottom of the valley.
How could that be?
How could it become like this?
How could Zhenzhen, who was so pure and kind, conspire with him to come up with such a vicious plan?
"And that so-called Heavenly Master is not a good person at all. He stirs up wars between countries so that he can reap the benefits. I heard their conversation, and they talked about the Sect Master. That Heavenly Master is the Young Sect Master."
Hearing him say this, Jun Zegan frowned even deeper and his expression looked extremely ugly.
"Brother." Shang Ruoyi stopped and whispered, "Do you think that she is so sincere?"
Really?
Jun Zegan smiled bitterly: "In this world, only the word truth is the most illusory and the most precious."
"If the emperor can't make it this time, as his favorite concubine, she should be buried alive with him. Do you think she will want to leave here? Or escape in a strange way?"
"You just took the emperor's pulse. How did it feel?"
Shang Ruoyi whispered, "The rage attack is only a small matter. What really caused him to fall into a coma was the poison in his body."
Jun Ze's heart sank.
"Poison? Or poisonous insect?"
"Poisonous Gu." Shang Ruoyi narrowed her eyes slightly: "There is a man in Southern Xinjiang who is good at raising Gu. In addition to being able to use Gu insects to control people's bodies, he can also extract venom from the insects." She heard from Old Ye that there was a man in Southern Xinjiang who was very good at raising Gu and had raised several Gu Kings.
The Gu King that I got from the Queen earlier might have been raised there.
Although extracting venom from the Gu King is not as effective as directly poisoning him, it is less likely to be detected.
As long as there is no divine doctor to diagnose the pulse, the poison will not be discovered.
If the blood of the Gu King is dripped into his diet regularly, the person who is poisoned will obey the words of the person who poisoned him.
The reason why the Emperor of the Western Regions doted on Concubine Xiao was not only because she was young and beautiful, but also because she used poison to control his mind.
"It was Concubine Xiao who poisoned the emperor?"
Shang Ruoyi whispered, "I'm not sure either." She had searched the Gu Emperor out of the Queen's Palace, but the one who made the Western Region Emperor obey her was Concubine Xiao.
However, both Concubine Xiao and the Queen mentioned the leader of the sect, so it seems that they all belong to the same organization.
Perhaps Queen Nan helped Concubine Xiao control the Emperor. No matter what, the poison was inseparable from the two of them.
Thinking of the last words Concubine Xiao said to him, he slowly clenched his fists.
On the way back, Jun Zegan didn't say anything. Shang Ruoyi knew that he was thinking about something, so she didn't disturb him.
