Chapter 54
"Your Majesty must be tired from the journey. I will prepare a room for you to rest..." Wang Luoge said at the right time. Poppy is not a trivial matter, so the emperor must be settled first.
"No need, I have my own place to live." Zhou Xuanqing said, and strode out of the study.
The door closed, and the father and son slumped on the ground, with the city lord looking worried.
"Father, I have an idea. We can wait in the kitchen. Poppies are rare, and the person who did this must be from a powerful background..." After Wang Luoge finished speaking, he personally arranged for the secret operation.
On this side, Zhou Xuanqing rode his horse to a yard, pushed the door open and walked in, then saw Mu Tou practicing sword in the yard with a very pale face.
"Your Majesty!" Mu Tou saw her and quickly put away his sword and knelt on the ground. It was because he failed to protect the prince! That's why Cheng Zhixuan kidnapped the prince.
"Get up. Cheng Zhixuan is cunning and it's not your fault." Zhou Xuanqing said, then took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and threw it to him.
Cheng Zhixuan is hiding very deeply. He will slip away if we are not careful. This time we must kill him completely.
"Your Majesty, that day the prince and his subordinates were returning from outside the city when they were ambushed, and Cheng Zhixuan knocked the prince unconscious and took him away. From what I know about Cheng Zhixuan, he likes the prince, and the prince's life is not in danger in his hands. Your Majesty, it is too risky for you to come here this time!" Mu Tou was rarely serious, as if he had become a different person.
Zhou Xuanqing looked him over and asked, "How do you know Cheng Zhixuan likes the prince?"
Mu Tou was stunned by the question and his hands clenched involuntarily. He couldn't tell the emperor that he liked the prince, so he knew that Cheng Zhixuan also liked the prince, right?
"Mu Tou, keep your thoughts to yourself. The customs of the people in the Great Zhou Dynasty are not so open-minded." After Zhou Xuanqing finished speaking, he found a room to rest.
We rushed here and dealt with several waves of assassins, all of whom should have been sent by Cheng Zhixuan. I didn't expect that Cheng Zhixuan had so many people under his command.
Mu Tou was stunned. It turned out that the emperor knew... Well, the emperor has been very good at dealing with people since he was a child. There are many things that he understands but just doesn't say.
That night, Tang Mitang suddenly woke up. Why did she dream about Cheng Zixuan? She dreamed that she was drinking with him and talking about the characters in the novel. Cheng Zixuan said:
The character of Cheng Zhixuan embodies all my dark sides.
Dark side? Those dark sides? Tang Mitang thought about what Cheng Zixuan said and couldn't help but shudder. If Cheng Zhixuan's personality was all the dark side of Cheng Zixuan, then he would be the final boss!
The novel has no ending, there is a second part. Zhou Erlan has poison in her body and will not live long. In the end, the kingdom will fall into the hands of Cheng Zhixuan!
"Hehe~ Tangtang, I really want to indulge myself. I want my bad side to win! How I wish I could take the bus tired after a day of work and not give up my seat to those elderly people who can't even say thank you! How I wish I couldn't give my children the Ultraman I've treasured for years when I'm at home! How I wish my parents could put the last chicken drumstick into their bowl so they can take a bite with peace of mind. How I wish that what's mine will always be mine and won't be taken away by anyone! Unfortunately, my conscience won't allow me to be a bad person, so I wrote it in a book. I hide my sick self in these words."
This is what Cheng Zixuan said when he was drunk. How did I respond at that time?
"You can write your book however you want! I hate these things that are taken for granted, too. Why should I always take care of others when they are all first-timers?"
"That's right, I'm always the protagonist in my books!"
Zhou Erlan is Cheng Zixuan's good attribute, while Cheng Zhixuan is Cheng Zixuan's bad attribute. Cheng Zixuan only wants the bad side to succeed.
Therefore, the character Cheng Zhixuan is the winner of the entire book "The King's Ascension"!
Zhou Xuanqing and Zhou Erlan have too many things to consider, and Cheng Zhixuan is simply a selfish lunatic who only cares about his own happiness. How can the two of them fight?
Tang Mitang still felt terrified when she thought of Cheng Zhixuan's threatening expression in the forest.
When Zhou Xuanqing comes out in two days, I will tell her that Cheng Zhixuan is a complete lunatic.
Southern City.
Wang Luoge followed the maid to the yard and saw his sister who had returned a few days ago. He understood what was going on and did not rush to catch her. Instead, he went to find Zhou Xuanqing.
Zhou Xuanqing followed him and lay on the roof. He watched the girl casually eat a few mouthfuls of rice, then took the food on the table to the bed, lifted the bed board and walked down.
"Your Majesty, this is the person who planted the poppy. I noticed two days ago that she ate a lot as a girl. Her father allowed her to eat as she was separated from her father since childhood. But I saw that she vomited after eating. I paid more attention to it for a few days and found out that it was her maid who took the poppy powder and sprinkled it into the washed rice. The rice has been washed again before cooking, and there is nothing wrong with the porridge outside." Wang Luoge said in a low voice.
"That's right." Zhou Xuanqing looked at the maid guarding the house and said softly, then grabbed Wang Luoge's collar and jumped onto the tree.
Sure enough, the girl heard the sound and ran out. She checked for a while before going into the house.
Wang Luoge let Zhou Xuanqing hold his clothes and hang him on the tree, covering his mouth and not daring to breathe.
This girl is quite powerful, she actually has martial arts skills!
But the emperor is even more powerful. Can he lift this eight-foot tall man with one hand?
"Let's go, I'll send someone to keep an eye on you." Zhou Xuanqing jumped down from the tree, put him on the ground, and said in a cold voice.
I haven't even started looking for it yet, but Cheng Zhixuan has presented himself here. This is a blatant trap, and Cheng Zhixuan must have thought the same as I did, wanting to eliminate the trouble once and for all.
I just don't know who died first, her or him.
At Nanshan Temple, Tang Mitang waited at the door early in the morning for Zhou Xuanqing to come out, but she didn't show up until lunch.
Suddenly, she had a bad feeling and ran into the yard. This time, no one stopped her and she ran in easily. She searched the house but couldn't find Zhou Xuanqing.
The bed was neatly made, showing its original state without exception, as if no one had ever lived there!
Chang Xi went to the palace early in the morning to help Zhou Qiuyu deal with things, and she was the only one left in Nanshan Temple. Where did Zhou Xuanqing go?
Tang Mitang stood in the room and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness as if she had just traveled through time. Why did they leave her behind?
He hurried down the mountain and returned to the palace. He met the concubine in the imperial garden, bowed to her and wanted to go to the Daming Palace.
"Tang Mi, where are you going?" The concubine stopped her and asked, seeing her in a hurry.
She is now in high spirits. All affairs in the court are in charge of her son. The emperor has given Yu'er real power. She has won over many court officials to assist her son these days, and is not afraid of any tricks from the emperor.
