Chapter 536: Qi Fangfei's ruthlessness
"Impossible." Xuanyuan Mo blurted out, not believing what Qi Fangfei said at all, "If it weren't for me and the eldest prince, who else would be qualified to become the crown prince?" ”
"As long as my father wants it, anyone can become a prince." Qi Fangfei calmly looked at Xuanyuan Mo, who was a little excited, "Maybe the person my father liked the most in the past was the Nine Emperor Princes, but now that the Nine Emperor Princes are dead, every prince is treated equally in the emperor's heart, how can you be sure that the crown prince's position must be you or the eldest prince?" ”
Seeing that Qi Fangfei said so surely, Xuanyuan Mo's excited emotions slowly calmed down, and he asked with some doubts: "Is there any movement on the eldest prince's side?" ”
Qi Fangfei nodded, "Of course, the eldest prince already has other plans because he knows that the emperor has no intention of making himself the crown prince." ”
"What's the plan?" Xuanyuan Mo blurted out. If the position of the crown prince that he has been planning for so long is obtained by someone else, Xuanyuan Mo will definitely die of annoyance.
"As for what the plan is, I can't tell you just yet." Qi Fangfei saw Xuanyuan Mo's disappointed and angry gaze and continued: "But I can promise you that I will help you eradicate the opponent of the Great Prince." ”
"What exactly is your purpose?" Xuanyuan Mo did not lose her mind happily because Qi Fangfei said that she wanted to help herself, but was even more suspicious of her purpose, looked at her defensively and asked, "Don't tell you that it's as simple as just wanting to deal with the eldest prince." ”
"Of course it's not that simple." Qi Fangfei readily admitted, "I do have a purpose for helping you, my purpose is that I help you this time, but you have to help me find the bodies of Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji." ”
"Aren't they already dead? Why are you looking for their bodies? Xuanyuan Mo asked puzzled. If it weren't for knowing the death of the two, the emperor would not have asked about political affairs, would not have been ill, and there would have been no competition for the crown prince.
"Although the killers sent out by the Great Prince came back and said that they had killed Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji, I always felt that they were not dead." Qi Fangfei said with some uneasiness. Nightmares left her a little exhausted and nervous.
"Feelings?" Xuanyuan Mo snorted coldly, and was a little scoffed at Qi Fangfei's reason, "Isn't it because your feelings are wrong?" ”
Qi Fangfei didn't pay attention to Xuanyuan Mo's ridicule, shook her head and said: "Murong Xuanji is the most precious daughter of the general, and the people in the general's mansion love her like a baby, and now this daughter has died inexplicably, but there is no movement in the general's mansion, don't you think it's too unreasonable?" ”
"But the General's Mansion has been sending people to find their corpses, and nothing has been done?" Xuanyuan Mo always felt that Qi Fangfei was a little worried.
"I know that the Great General's Mansion continues to send people to look for them, but only some guards were dispatched, but none of the three sons of the Murong family went out to look for them, don't you think it's just a little unusual? Compared to the previous time when they were in the paddock looking day and night, now no one is looking for it, the contrast is so great that it is doubtful. Qi Fangfei said with a serious face.
Although Qi Fangfei said it so surely, Xuanyuan Mo still felt that her suspicion was a bit far-fetched, but Xuanyuan Mo was smart and did not refute her words, as long as she was willing to help her eradicate Xuanyuan Che, then what about helping her find someone, if she really found the corpses of Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji, it would be regarded as a performance in front of the emperor, and maybe it would leave a good impression on the emperor, so why not do it.
"Okay, I promise you. As long as you help me eradicate the eldest prince, I will help you find the bodies of the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses. Xuanyuan Mo nodded and agreed to Qi Fangfei's conditions, "When I go back today, I will send someone to continue to search for their bodies." ”
Qi Fangfei nodded with satisfaction, and said with a sigh of relief in her heart: "Okay, I won't let you down, you wait patiently in the mansion, and soon you will hear the news of the eldest prince's loss of power." ”
It didn't take long for the people in the house to disappear, and Qi Fangfei reappeared on the street, and it didn't take long for her to return to the Great Prince's Mansion.
"Is the eldest prince back?" As soon as Qi Fangfei returned to the mansion, she inquired about Xuanyuan Che's whereabouts. Although I knew the plan of Xuanyuan Che and the queen, I didn't know that they would act that day, so I had to find out the time of their action so that I could make good arrangements.
"The eldest prince is back, in the study." The subordinate in the house replied respectfully.
After knowing Xuanyuan Che's whereabouts, Qi Fangfei didn't stop long and strode towards Xuanyuan Che's study.
"You came back so early, how is my father's health? Is there any better? Qi Fangfei pretended to be concerned and asked, "I went to a few time-honored pharmacies in the capital today, and I wanted to grab some tonic medicine for my father to recuperate." ”
"No need, those pharmacies have medicinal materials in the palace, and even those that don't have medicinal materials in the palace, and you still need things outside the palace?" Xuanyuan said mockingly, because he was planning to drug the emperor, he was not in the mood to deal with Qi Fangfei.
Qi Fangfei saw Xuanyuan Che's thoughtful appearance, and thought about how to make his words.
"Although there are a lot of medicinal materials in the palace, those imperial doctors are too pedantic, maybe the prescriptions issued by the doctors outside the palace can cure my father's condition." Qi Fangfei deliberately turned the topic back to the emperor.
"You don't have to worry about my father's condition, can you let me stay alone for a while?" Hearing Qi Fangfei keep talking, Xuanyuan Che stood up irritably and glared at her, and said unhappily: "Don't always run to my study, go back to the room to embroider when you have time, and if you can't do it, go to those concubines to chat." ”
"I didn't mean to disturb you, I saw that you were worried about your father's condition every day, so I wanted to help you, if you think I'm meddling, then good, I won't be asking about your business in the future." Qi Fangfei pretended to be displeased and said. glanced at Xuanyuan Che sadly, and slowly turned around and walked towards the door.
"Wait a minute." Seeing that Qi Fangfei seemed to have really been hurt by her words, thinking of her gentleness and kindness to her before, and also thinking that she had helped herself a lot before, her expression softened a little and said: "You don't have to worry about your father's condition, naturally those imperial doctors in the palace will worry." ”
Seeing that Xuanyuan Che's expression softened a little, he knew that his bitter meat trick came in handy, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart, but the expression on his face was still aggrieved.
"Prince, what are you bothered about? Can't you just tell me? Qi Fangfei asked delicately, seeing that Xuanyuan Che was silent, so she changed her words and said: "My father has a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, so the mountains and rivers are beautiful, why don't we go there to rest for a few days, and it can also make your mood relax." When you come back from the paddock, you're preoccupied all day. ”
"No need, I can't get out of this situation in the palace now." Hearing Qi Fangfei's concern for herself, Xuanyuan Che's tone also eased a lot, and he no longer treated her so coldly.
"Then let's go for three days. I'll ask someone to pack up their things briefly, set off tomorrow morning, and come back in three days, so that you can not only relax for a few days, but also not delay things in the capital. Qi Fangfei said with a smile.
Xuanyuan Che thought for a while, knowing that the sooner he acted on the emperor's drug, the better, no one knew what the situation would be in the future, if the emperor came out of the sadness of losing Xuanyuan Hao, then even if he wanted to, he would have no chance.
"No, let's wait a while, there are still things in the palace these days, and I can't leave." Xuanyuan Che said lightly, thinking that he would find an opportunity to force the emperor to stamp the jade seal on the edict he had prepared in the next day or two.
Hearing Xuanyuan Che's refusal, Qi Fangfei already knew in her heart that he would act in the next few days, since she already knew an approximate time, her purpose of coming to him had been achieved, and there was no need to continue to stay.
"It's not early, whatever you want to eat, I'll go get some dishes you like in the kitchen." Qi Fangfei asked with concern.
"No need, I don't have an appetite." Xuanyuan Che did not hesitate to refuse Qi Fangfei's kindness.
Qi Fangfei nodded, and said knowingly: "In that case, then I won't bother you, if you want to eat something, let the kitchen do it." I'll go back to my room first. ”
Qi Fangfei glanced at Xuanyuan Che and found that he didn't care about what he said at all, but was thinking about something else, so he walked out of the study.
After leaving the study, Qi Fangfei did not return to her bedroom at all, but left the mansion again, but this time she was accompanied by the maid who had been serving her.
"You go to the time-honored restaurant in the capital to buy some hibiscus cakes and come back. The eldest prince has not had much appetite lately, so buy some and go back for him to eat. Qi Fangfei pointed to a big restaurant in the distance and said to the maid beside her.
The maid didn't doubt him, and obediently ran to buy hibiscus cakes, Qi Fangfei took advantage of the fact that no one walked into a small alley next to her, and there were already people waiting for her inside.
"Are you ready for everything I want?" Qi Fangfei asked the mysterious person arrogantly, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.
"Everything is here." The mysterious man took out a bottle from his arms and handed it to Qi Fangfei, and asked in a low voice, "Where is the silver?" ”
Qi Fangfei did not hesitate to take out a money bag, which was bulging with silver, and before handing over the money bag, Qi Fangfei asked the mysterious person again: "Are you sure that the antidote you gave me can cure any poison?" ”
