Chapter 267: Meeting in Plum Garden
Huo Tianling went to the underground city this morning and personally checked the inn which had not yet been cleaned up. After making some inquiries, he learned that his son Baili Chi had been arrested for kidnapping the daughter of an important official of Daliang.
This little bastard...
Didn't he know his own identity? It would have been fine if he had secretly followed her to Daliang, but he actually dared to cause trouble in the capital?
Although Huo Tianling was furious, he still kept a careful eye on things...
He had painstakingly worked for years in Daliang, relying on leverage over court officials and exhausting half his life savings before he finally discovered—his son Baili Chi had been executed on the spot!
The ambiguous information he had heard before was nothing but a trap deliberately set by the other party in order to lure out the snake and catch all the spies of Yan State in one fell swoop.
Huo Tianling felt like he was struck by lightning, with a splitting headache...
When Princess Qingyuan gave birth to Baili Chi, she suffered a difficult labor that damaged her foundation and she could no longer have children.
Now that Chi'er is dead, all his plans in Yan State have become a pipe dream!
What's even more terrifying is that with Princess Qingyuan's paranoid nature, the pain of losing her child will surely drive her completely mad...
Anyway, the evidence of his treason is now in the hands of Princess Qingyuan, and Princess Qingyuan is currently in Liang State...
Instead of worrying about coaxing and accompanying a crazy woman all day long... it is better to take a gamble and stay in the relatively safe Daliang!
“…” Huo Tianling clenched his fists, digging his nails deep into his palms.
Looking around the world... Princess Yun Zhiwei is his last hope.
As long as he can coax Yun Zhiwei, not only can he save his life, but he may also be able to enjoy wealth and glory!
As for power... he narrowed his eyes sinisterly: After overcoming the current crisis, there will always be a day to make a comeback!
Huo Tianling quickly came up with a plan. Since all the Yan State guards had already been killed, he tried to poison Princess Qingyuan to create the illusion that she committed suicide because she could not bear the pain of losing her son.
It would be best if he could get evidence of his treason from the people around her, but if not... He played with the dagger in his hand, the cold light reflecting the murderous intent in his eyes.
Having made up his mind, he returned to his hiding place that afternoon with the poison he had bought...
But he discovered that Qing Yuan and his group had disappeared long ago! ?
Wasn't that bitch unwell? Where had she gone? Was she so worried that she went to find Chi'er herself?
There is really no peace of mind!!!
God bless her! She must not fall into his trap and implicate him...
The plan was disrupted, the situation became increasingly dangerous, and Huo Tianling had to change his strategy immediately...
He originally planned to kill Princess Qingyuan first, and then slowly win over Yun Zhiwei... But now it seems that he can't be slow any longer, he can only take the risk!
In order to see Yun Zhiwei, Huo Tianling carefully fabricated a story: he was murdered by his brother, but forgot everything after being rescued... As soon as he recovered his memory, he immediately came to find her!
If his identity as the consort of the Yan Kingdom was exposed, he would claim that he was forced to marry the Yan Kingdom princess during his time in exile in the Yan Kingdom due to amnesia, and that he had no choice and no feelings for the Yan Kingdom princess...
Feeling that he had no flaws, Huo Tianling practiced his words repeatedly in front of the bronze mirror, even carefully designing every expression.
He knew these women's minds very well - no matter how sincere their feelings were, only by letting them commit themselves to him could he make them completely devoted and unable to let go.
Therefore, his top priority is to take Yun Zhiwei's body as soon as possible!
By the way, isn’t the royal family extinct? It would be even better if she could get pregnant!
However, Yun Zhiwei has a cold personality and is always reserved. If he wants to succeed as soon as possible, he must use some means!
Coming out of the medicine shop, he clenched the 'Hongluan Powder' in his hand, turned around and looked in the direction of the Grand Princess's Mansion, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I guess the eldest princess must have already received the letter containing the token of their love...
With the old affection, the joy of reunion after a long separation, and the help of this secret medicine, as long as Yun Zhiwei is willing to keep the appointment, it will be difficult for her to escape from his grasp!
Looking at the sky that was getting darker and darker, Huo Tianling immediately jumped on his horse and hurried up the mountain.
There is a wooden house in the plum garden, which he specially ordered to be built in order to coax Yun Zhiwei. He will give Yun Zhiwei a wedding night there tonight!
The horse sped away...
Several secret guards followed Huo Tianling silently.
Little Tangbao looked at Chuntai and turned away, deliberately refusing to look at her profile, his mouth pouting...
No one explained to the little fellow what the 'Red Luan Powder' was. Little Tang Bao thought about his aunt's skinny, frail body...
She thought to herself, if it was a good medicine to cure the disease, why wouldn't it be available in the palace? It was likely that Huo Tianling wanted to harm her aunt!
This damn scumbag not only cheated on her aunt before, but now he even wants to kill her aunt?
How outrageous!
My aunt is so pitiful!
Tang Bao must live up to Concubine Rong's instructions, help the Rong family ancestors, and protect his aunt! !
Having made up her mind, she quickly opened her little hands and ran towards the other secret guards: "Uncle Secret Guard, if you don't hold Tang Bao and fly, Tang Bao will fly by himself~"
The secret guard's face immediately turned pale, and he looked at Chuntai helplessly: "We haven't even got the magic talisman that the princess promised to give us yet..."
Once the little princess used the speed spell, even with the white tiger leading the way, it would be difficult to find anyone in the middle of the night!
well……
Chuntai held her forehead, picked up Xiao Tangbao helplessly, and followed the marks left by the secret guard.
…
At the same time, Yun Zhiwei had just put down her bowl and chopsticks when the guard hurriedly handed her a letter...
"This is……"
"Princess, a beggar was just wandering outside the palace. He slipped this letter into his pocket and ran away. During a routine inspection, I discovered your jade pendant hidden inside."
He is the eldest princess's confidant. He is not interested in the content of the letter. He only cares about whether there are hidden weapons or poisons in this letter of unknown origin...but he didn't expect to discover the princess's favorite jade pendant.
Yun Zhiwei only glanced at the jade pendant and then started coughing violently, his face instantly becoming very ugly.
That was the gift she took from her body and gave to Huo Tianling when they became engaged...
"Princess!" The guards stepped forward hurriedly.
She waved her hands and hurriedly drank half a bowl of bitter medicine to suppress the fishy and sweet taste in her throat.
Yun Zhiwei didn't touch the jade pendant and took the letter directly.
Unfolding the letter, the unfamiliar handwriting spoke of a familiar name: "Three quarters past midnight, Plum Garden Wooden House... General Huo's life or death depends on the princess's discretion. Please come alone. If you see another person, I will immediately end his life!"
The letter floated to the ground, and Yun Zhiwei looked at the twilight outside the window with a stunned expression.
The writer of the letter... actually knew about the Plum Garden Cabin...
