306. The Gentle Assassination (7)

"What's the matter?"

After talking to Ye Yu, Zuo Yi began to think about all the "inside" things she had done in recent days, what were the specific things that had given Ye Yu a chance, and how could she borrow his hand to succeed?

Zuo Yi thought about almost all the possible means that Ye Yu could think of, and after eliminating them one by one, in the end, there was only one feasible method left in his guess: poisoning.

But after he carefully examined the objects he had handled in the past few days, and finally presented them to the Banana Emperor, he could not find any toxicity.

However, the most feasible way to assassinate the Banana Emperor with his hands is clearly to poison it. - Zuo Yi is convinced of this.

"Is that what she's trying to do?" Or is the poison she's poisoning too weird to be detected by ordinary techniques?"

At least, before receiving the information from Tiange, Zuo Yi felt that both possibilities existed.

It seems that for now, the only way to do this is to be more cautious than before, so as not to be secretly poisoned by her. Just hold on for two more days!" After deliberately opening up Ye Yu and instructing her to run other errands, Zuo Yi privately tested the poison to no avail, so he thought of this expedient measure.

At the very least, before he got the information from the Heavenly Pavilion, he had to try to avoid letting Ye Jue touch anything that would eventually have to be handled and checked by him for the final inspection, and then he could be offered to the Jiaohuang with his daily clothes, pen and ink, incense, and his daily diet.

But Zuo Yi's excessive personal experience is almost equivalent to taking care of Ye Yu's internal affairs as an attendant. And this gave Ye Yu a good reason to stop his intentions in time.

So, just after Zuo Yi thought that he had hidden it from her and had indeed successfully practiced intentionally isolating her for a day, he was warned by Ye Yu that night.

Just after he refused to let her serve even if he didn't deliberately expose her fake identity when he hadn't deliberately exposed her fake identity, he would have pretended to let her serve and change clothes, which should have been her attendant's business, Ye Yu finally decided to turn all the dissatisfaction and disdain that had been pent up for a day into words with an obvious threatening tone to remind him:

"Zuo Yi, I didn't want to suspect that you had ulterior motives, but your behavior today makes me have to be suspicious of you. Otherwise, how can you explain that you have even done your duty as a servant to wash and change your clothes?

"You want to go past me and go directly to inspect all the things that will be touched by the Banana Emperor in the future, and you can indeed interpret this as your duty, for fear that my lack of skill may cause the Banana Emperor to see some flaws—if you want to explain it this way, I really can't doubt you because of this. But you have done my part!

"What you are doing today is clearly intended to turn me into an ornament who can only follow you, but can do nothing and does not need to do it. How do you explain this?

"Could it be that you not only have different intentions towards me, but even want to use such means to restrict my movements?

"Heh, if that's the case, then you can't help but underestimate me!"

was reminded by Ye Yu, Zuo Yi realized that he had indeed done too obviously. also knows that now, no matter how much he denies it, Ye Yu will definitely not believe his words.

So, he simply admitted directly:

"Yes, I was on the lookout for you. But I just can't fully trust you yet, and it's not that I have a different heart for you.

"As far as I'm concerned, I don't know who you really are—what you say is only your side after all, and I don't even know your real name, how can you make me believe you completely? Besides, even if what you say is true, you never tell me how you want to get revenge?

"Admittedly, if what you say is true, then choosing you is naturally the best choice. But what if you lie to me? If the matter is revealed, will I not be implicated by you, and I will die without a place to bury?

"What would you do if you were me?"

"Hmm...... What you say is reasonable......"

Although Ye Yu is also skeptical of Zuo Yi's "heartfelt words", but because he said it is really reasonable, if he thinks like this, then he is willing to try to believe her - even if in fact he has to choose to believe her, it will take a lot of courage. However, even so, she would not be easily fooled by him because of this, and then ignore that he was clearly trying to cover up some kind of trick she was planning.

As a result, Ye Yu still insisted on his position, and was not shaken by his seemingly sincere "heartfelt words" in the slightest, but warned him more severely because of this:

"However, you should know that with your current situation, you can only choose to believe me, otherwise, you will either be used by Gao Liwen or by the Banana Emperor, but whether you are attached to any of them or always wander between them, you will lose the opportunity to be truly free forever because you did not choose me.

"I know that Gao Liwen will never really give you the antidote to Gu poison - unless you have the ability to threaten him with his life. But as far as I know, even the Banana Emperor, he has been dealing with him for decades, but he still hasn't really pinched his fatal weakness. In the face of such Gao Liwen, do you think you have the ability to threaten him?

"Although, I know that such a unilateral request for you to cooperate with me is indeed unsettling, but you should know that we have not been in a reciprocal relationship from the beginning! There are several other people in this palace who are equally suitable. And you're just one of them. But you are different, if you miss this opportunity I gave you, then you will never want to get rid of the poison on your body in this life, and you will never want to be truly free. And ......"

Speaking of this, Ye Yu unconsciously turned the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at Zuo Yi with a slight sly. And Zuo Yi, although he hadn't heard her say anything else, he already knew from the eyes she cast on him what she would probably say. But what he didn't realize was that when he had already expected what she might say next, his reaction at that time surprised Ye Yu to learn something that she hadn't expected before......

I only heard her continue: "And, as long as I think, even if you have taken the antidote that Gao Liwen gave you this month, the Gu poison in your body will still be triggered by me.

"Oh, did you just guess what I was trying to say? But your eyes are funny...... It seems that you have already tasted the taste of this poison attack? How? Isn't it unforgettable?

"However, I would like to remind you that this Gu will only attack three times: the first is a 'warning', so that disobedient people know how powerful this Gu is, and the second is the 'last prophecy before death', once it occurs, it will not be a month later, and you will definitely die. Even if you take the real antidote, you can only live for another month. A month later, on the third episode, he would be killed on the spot. There is no cure. ”

"What? You mean, if you have a second seizure, even if you take the real antidote, it won't help?"

"No, if you can take the real antidote in time, then at least you can live for another month. But if you don't take the real antidote after the second attack, then even if you take the postponed antidote, you won't survive for three days. He will surely die in three days.

"So, I think that since you have survived to this day, it is not difficult to think that even if you have had one seizure, it is only once.

"Well, you're not stupid. After tasting it, you know that you can't easily do it again?

"Then since you are so knowledgeable about current affairs, you should know that you are tired of playing this kind of scheming with me! However, I will spare you this time because you are not familiar with my temperament, and this is also the first offense. But don't take it as an example, otherwise ......"

"I believe you! This time, I really believe it! You even know that I have had a seizure once, I don't dare not believe it......" Before Ye Yu's words were finished, he was stopped by Zuo Yi first, and immediately made his own clear position clear to her: "Okay, I will listen to you what you want me to do." ”

But after finishing his expression, Zuo Yi finally did not forget to continue to insist on some of his thoughts that must be held to the end, he still insisted: "But in the past two days, in front of people, you just need to serve me, as for Your Majesty...... Oh, I, I mean the Banana Emperor, as for him, you better see how I do it in the next two days. Looking at your clumsiness, a few days ago, if I hadn't covered it up in time, I am afraid that the banana emperor would have seen the flaws a long time ago. - You don't want him to be suspicious of you too soon, do you?"

Although Zuo Yi basically had to believe that Ye Yu was really the one who made the Gu at this moment, he still instinctively made the last reservation: he still decided to hide from Ye Yu that he would receive a reply from Tiange in two days. It's just that he wanted to do this before, so that he could secretly verify whether her identity as a "disciple of the Medical Valley" was fake, but now, it was to prepare an extra way back for himself, in order to better protect himself-he still didn't want to believe that the Gu poison on his body was really only she could solve it. He didn't want to be left in a situation where he had no choice but to be extremely passive. Therefore, as long as it is possible and promising, he will never let go of any opportunity that may allow him to regain control.

For Zuo Yi, no matter how Ye Yu analyzes his current situation, and no matter how she tempts him to say that choosing her is the best choice, but in his opinion, only by firmly holding his life in his own hands is his best choice.

And Ye Yu, after being accidentally mentioned by Zuo Yi about the most taboo thing that happened at the moment, she finally wavered, and she was indeed worried that because she was not familiar with many rules in the palace, she was really as Zuo Yi said, because she accidentally exposed too obvious flaws, which caused the Jiaohuang to be suspicious of her. If that's the case, wouldn't the perfect opportunity for the Jiaohuang Emperor to temporarily shift his vigilance to the two princes who are still out of the country and have not returned yet, then she will miss the opportunity she has finally encountered, and she may have no hope of revenge in her life because of the revelation of her deeds. - This is something that Ye Yu can't accept no matter what.

Therefore, in order to take care of the overall situation, although Ye Yu also knew in her heart that Zuo Yi was clearly trying to force her to make concessions, she could only let him take a step temporarily: she promised to only serve him alone for these two days, but two days was enough time for her to memorize all the rules and details that she should remember in her current position. So, two days later, he didn't have to show her one by one. - Even if he said "two days" probably only meant the next few days in general, but she decided that "only two days", and this was what he mentioned first, so as long as she bit the literal meaning of these "two days", it would be difficult for him to refuse her request.

And Zuo Yi naturally reached an agreement with her "with interest", and promised that after two days, he would no longer deliberately restrain her from doing all the things that should have been done in her position.
