Chapter 66: The Method of Detoxification [Second Update]
Lu Zhiyao walked over in a few steps, pushed open the door and saw He Xiaobai and Li Ming over there. After so many days of observation, Lu Zhiyao was also sure of the status of the white-bearded old man. Not only this eunuch, but even the emperor seems to have a little respect for this He Xiaobai. Lu Zhiyao, who still didn't know the true identity of He Xiaobai, said softly: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, but I just want to ask, is Prince Luo's ascension to the throne true?" β
Whether Lu Zhiyao eavesdropped or not was no different to He Xiaobai, even if she knew the truth, what could she do?
He Xiaobai glanced at Lu Zhiyao, sat back at the table, and said in a slow voice: "What can you do if you know the truth?" β
"The emperor has locked me up here, and I have nothing to do. It's always good to think about things with your brain, and if you stay like this, even if I return to the Eight Emperors Mansion one day, I'll be stupid nine times out of ten. Could it be that this is what the emperor is thinking? If you want to re-select an eighth princess for the eighth prince, you don't need to be so troublesome. β
"With sharp teeth and sharp mouth, you can't be stupid if you are locked up for ten years or eight years." He Xiaobai obviously didn't want to answer Lu Zhiyao's question, so he instead said a few names of dishes to Li Ming, and asked Li Ming to bring him good wine and food.
Lu Zhiyao was uneasy in her heart, because in her opinion, only Lin Yixiang could not be the emperor! Lin Yinan has no reason to see things change like this and not stop them, what is the situation?
Li Ming didn't dare to disobey He Xiaobai's words, and soon there were only two people left, Lu Zhiyao and He Xiaobai.
The two stood and sat together, and Lu Zhiyao stood in the center of the room, her eyes glancing at the door from time to time that she had been unable to escape.
"I remember that the eighth child is a very smart person, why did he choose you?"
He Xiaobai's question made Lu Zhiyao pout indifferently, locked up here for so many days, this old man and what she said could be counted on two hands, and none of them were good. Lu Zhiyao, who was sneering or something, was used to hearing it, not to mention that in front of Lin Yinan, she never thought she was smart.
"You know him?" It doesn't matter, there should be etiquette rules.
He Xiaobai seemed to remember some happy memories, chuckled twice, and replied, "How can you not know." β
Lu Zhiyao thought about it, and he was right, he was stupid to ask. Since he is the emperor's confidant, how can he not know the emperor's son.
"Have you ever played chess with him?" This time, He Xiaobai came to ask Lu Zhiyao a question.
"Down." Lu Zhiyao replied honestly.
"Have you ever won?"
"No ......" Although he was a little reluctant, Lu Zhiyao still said.
He Xiaobai was very satisfied with Lu Zhiyao's answer, and also felt that it was taken for granted. "I still taught him chess. If you really lose to a yellow-haired girl like you, I think it's strange. β
Lu Zhiyao was originally planning to leave, but when he heard this, he turned back. walked to He Xiaobai's side and looked at him with puzzled eyes without a trace. In this way, his relationship with Lin Yinan should be considered good?
He Xiaobai raised his head, his sharp gaze staring directly into Lu Zhiyao's eyes. "Don't think about what to do with the old man."
Before he could say some words, he died in Lu Zhiyao's stomach.
"Sit down and play a game of chess with the old man."
Playing chess seems to be He Xiaobai's favorite thing to do, and every time Lu Zhiyao sees him, it seems that he is sitting here studying the chessboard non-stop.
Without resistance, Lu Zhiyao sat down obediently. Idleness is idleness, and it's always good to pass the time.
Lu Zhiyao plays chess as she likes, every game she plays will be different from everything before, there is no routine at all, which is also what makes Lin Yinan feel a headache. And Lu Zhiyao remembers very well why she loses to the other party every time, and it will be difficult for her to make that mistake again next time. Therefore, every time he played chess with her, Lin Yinan had to spend a lot of time, and he had to keep guessing the careful thoughts in her head. If you miss one step, you will lose badly.
After two sets, He Xiaobai also discovered this situation. Looking at Lu Zhiyao's gaze changed slightly, he casually accosted Lu Zhiyao and asked, "Are you the daughter of the prime minister's family?" β
"Yes, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family."
Lu Zhiyao was a little provocative and sarcastic when he said his identity, He Xiaobai thought of some rumors he had heard before, and the corners of his mouth hooked. "I heard that it was the Eighth Emperor who went to the emperor and offered to marry you?"
Lu Zhiyao also knew a little about this, at that time she only thought that Lin Yinan married her because of all kinds of rumors flying outside, and later because of this matter, she was "punished" twice by Lin Yinan, so that she could face up to Lin Yinan's attitude towards herself.
"The Eighth Prince is a good man."
The movement in He Xiaobai's hand trembled, and the chess pieces fell on the chessboard a few seconds late.
"And in your eyes, what about the Seven Princes?"
"Naturally, it is not as good as the Eighth Prince, otherwise why would you teach the Eighth Emperor chess instead of the Seventh Prince?" Lu Zhiyao asked with a smile, if she remembered correctly, Lin Yixiang had also played chess with her, but he had never won. However, it may also be that Lin Yixiang hid it too well, otherwise she would not have been deceived so badly.
The room was quiet again, and no one said a word until Li Ming returned.
Li Ming was startled when he returned to the room and saw the two sitting together. He had seen the scene of the two fighting with his own eyes, and the Eighth Imperial Concubine seemed to have become more and more unscrupulous in the last few moves.
Hurriedly trotted to the side of the two, Li Ming said with a smile: "The food is back, it's time to eat." β
Lu Zhiyao's eyes lit up when he saw that he was eating, and he lost the chess absentmindedly, and planned to go back to the room after eating. But I didn't want He Xiaobai to say such a sentence.
"It's time for the emperor to let you go back."
Lu Zhiyao turned to look at him in surprise, and Li Ming also looked at He Xiaobai who said this in a daze. Not understanding what He Xiaobai meant, Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and walked back to the room. Thinking about Lin Yinan, thinking about Lin Yixiang, thinking about the battle outside.
Lin Yixiang disappeared suddenly, and all the people who wanted to find him had been to Prince Luo's mansion, but no one had seen him. At this time, Lin Yixiang was in the palace, in front of Lin Yunlong.
When Lin Yinan saw Xuanyuan Junfan, he had almost figured out the whole thing. "During this time, the benefits that the prince has received in the country of Charai should be a lot, right? The crown prince and Prince Luo, I don't know how much they gave you? β
Xuanyuan Junfan smiled and did not deny it. "The people of your country are very generous, and several princes are even more so. I'm happy to make a deal with you. β
"So now, the emperor has already taken the antidote that Lin Yixiang got from you, and there is nothing to do?"
"The last time the Eighth Prince asked me if I had an antidote, I thought that the person who came to me would be you, the Eighth Prince, but I never expected that it would be Prince Luo."
Lin Yixiang has always followed Lin Yichen's side, silently, without much to do, but it is not an existence that people can ignore. Although many people have doubted Lin Yixiang's motives for following the prince, Lin Yixiang has always been loyal to the prince over the years, and even did not hesitate to go out to oppose his own brother in person, all of which is enough to prove that he wants to assist the prince. In addition, he married Nangong Nuo'er, so who would have expected that Lin Yichen's best thing would be defeated by Lin Yixiang?
"The prince's people have all been evacuated from the city, how did he find the prince, don't you doubt it?"
"Of course you can guess, you heard it from the mouth of that woman Liu Yiyu, right?" Xuanyuan Junfan sat down next to Lin Yinan and said slowly: "I didn't want to hide, but Lin Yixiang can find me, and he should have found a lot of places to do it." I heard that the relationship between Liu Yiyu and Prince Luo is not ordinary, and this woman's mouth is not solid, so it is very likely that she told Lin Yixiang how to come to me. β
"Since Zhilu said that her mouth is not solid, then why did she let her come back alive?" Lin Yinan and Xuanyuan Junfan sat facing each other and asked.
"People who don't have a solid mouth are also useful, otherwise how can we find out the news that we want to know?" Xuanyuan Junfan had no intention of telling Lin Yinan about Liu Yiyu again, anyway, he had already decided to abandon that person and would not save him again. "I came to find the Eighth Prince today because of the previous appointment. I wonder if the Eighth Prince has time now, let me take a good look at the 'disease' for you? β
Lin Yinan was silent for a moment, and then nodded in agreement. Xuanyuan Junfan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then rechecked Lin Yinan's pulse with a solemn expression, and took out a row of silver needles, wanting to prove what he thought before.
The two stayed in the room for a long time, and when Su Mozi found out, Xuanyuan Junfan had already stopped.
Su Mozi glared at Xuanyuan Junfan hostilely, and secretly scolded Lin Yinan for his boldness. But Xuanyuan Junfan didn't care much about her eyes, but looked at Lin Yinan with deep and complicated eyes. After looking at it for a while, he opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know who caused the poison in the body of the Eighth Prince?" β
"Your Majesty."
"Don't hide it from the Eighth Prince, the poison in your body is extremely tricky, although it has been mixed with several other poisons, I can still be sure that the poison that can endanger your life comes from our Qing Netherworld."
After Xuanyuan Junfan's words were finished, Lin Yinan and Su Mozi's expressions changed slightly. Mo Tianshu also thinks so, so he has been on the side of the Qing Netherworld, trying to find an antidote for Lin Yinan.
"The toxin has been in your body for many years, and it is impossible to detoxify it in a short period of time."
"So, does Prince Xuanyuan have a way to detoxify the eighth prince of our family?" Su Mozi followed Mo Tianshu to the north and south before, and he had also been to the Qing Ming Kingdom many times, of course he knew Xuanyuan Junfan.
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do." Xuanyuan Junfan's eyes dimmed and he smiled bitterly. "I can assert that this poison is from the Qing Netherworld because the situation of the Eighth Prince is very similar to what I have seen in the book before. But that poison has never been seen before, and it is only a poison that can only be heard from the mouths of old people in the Qing Netherworld. If you want to cure this poison, you have to find the legendary Golden Condensation Grass, and the person I haven't even seen before. Eighth Emperor, let me ask you more, how did you offend your father and the emperor to make him bear to do such a poisonous act to you? β
