Chapter 116: Situ Yan's Choice
"What do you want?!"
"What can I do with you?" , Liu Man pursed his lips, pretended to look Wu Dacai up and down, his face was full of disgust, and then he returned to a hippie smile, "Lord Wu doesn't need to be too flustered, I'm just ordered to ask a few words......"
"Humph!" Seeing that the other party was here to ask, Wu Dacai instantly put his mind at ease, since he was going to talk, he definitely didn't dare to do anything to him, and the expression on his face was a little proud, "I don't know anything, I'm afraid I won't be able to help Your Excellency." ”
"Oh? ......" The smile on Liu Man's face became a little meaningful, "It doesn't matter if Lord Wu wants to say it or not, what matters is whether I can let you say it." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and tapped Wu Dacai's body a few times, and the other party suddenly collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
Seeing Wu Dacai obediently leaning against the stone wall, Liu Man put down a wooden box on his body with great satisfaction, opened it, and there were three rows of small porcelain bottles of different colors neatly arranged inside. Liu Man's gaze circled around these small porcelain vases, and finally stopped at a small celadon vase, and reached out to take it out.
Very skillfully poured out two pills from it, broke open Wu Dacai's chin, and stuffed the pills directly into his mouth, and the slender fingers pinched and pressed between his neck and collarbone, and the two pills slid down his throat to his esophagus.
"Y-What did you give me?!"
Wu Dacai's whole body was paralyzed and weak, and his eyes changed from the original comfortable to frightened.
"Good thing that can make you lust-immortal-desire-death." Liu Man had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart, the Liu family has practiced medicine for generations, if he let his grandfather know that he used the medical skills that the family is proud of to interrogate prisoners, I don't know if he will be expelled from the house directly?
Two hours later, Liu Man appeared in the general's mansion.
"Looks like your pills are quite effective."
Nangong Yi looked up and said after reading the three pieces of paper full of confessions handed over by Liu Man.
With Wu Dacai's confession, the originally confusing facts became clear, and he didn't need Wu Dacai to confront the other party in court, now. Just follow the clues provided in the confession.
"That's for sure, ......", after being praised by Nangong Yi, Liu Man looked proud, "Boss." You don't know, this pill is the unique secret recipe of our old Liu family, which is passed on to men but not women, and no other outsiders know about it except you......"
"Stay away from me in the future."
"What?"
Liu Man looked confused.
Didn't he just get a commendation? Why don't you go up but down?
Nangong Yi put away Wu Dacai's confession. Looking up, he looked at him expressionlessly.
"I'm afraid of being poisoned by you."
Liu Man: ......
He's not hallucinating, is he?
Is this a compliment?
Can he take that as a compliment?

The county order Wu Dacai was killed halfway, in addition to weapons, no matter how deep he went, he couldn't find anything, the matter of Yi County seemed to have come to an end on the surface, although Emperor Zhaoyang had no will on the surface, but on the grounds that he had not healed from his injuries in the palace banquet and needed to recuperate, he ordered the five princes to stay in the palace to recuperate. Without a summons, there is no need to go out, so as not to aggravate the injury.
As soon as these words came out, everyone saw the clue, Emperor Zhaoyang was going to do something to his own son, how long ago was the injury of the Five Emperors' Palace Banquet, and he was still let stay in the mansion to recuperate, this is an obvious excuse that can't be more obvious?
On the surface, it is said to be "recuperating from injuries", but in fact, it is simply house arrest, right?
So that's not to say. The crime of the five princes who wanted to rebel has been confirmed?
And when they were thinking in their hearts, they all understood. Fortunately, the fifth prince is usually an "idle man" in the court, not to mention gangs and supporters, and even the ministers who are a little closer to him have almost no ......
Come to think of it. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this can be regarded as a good deed done by the five princes, right?
At this time, some people questioned that there was no gang, and there were no supporters. Third, the nominal prince who has no power, how powerful is it to use the entire Yi County as an arsenal?
Moreover, isn't Wu Dacai, the county commander of Yi County, a side branch of Yuanweihou?
However, as soon as this question was raised, there was immediately a transparent person to grab the white, just a side branch, and not a descendant of Yuanwei Hou, as the so-called "money can make the ghost grind", as long as the five princes can come up with enough gold and silver, are you afraid that Wu Dacai will not give in? Maybe the mountain bandits who killed Wu Dacai were all sent by these five princes to exterminate them. It's a pity that Yuan Weihou has such a good relative, so that he has a stigma out of thin air.
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt reasonable. Anyway, the life or death of these five princes has nothing to do with them, why are they fooling so much heart? For the sake of today, it is to be a staunch supporter of the Six Princes, and this throne will be in his pocket sooner or later.
"The Fifth Highness is quite leisurely......
On the mansion of the five princes, Situ Yan walked slowly with a scroll in his arms.
Seeing that he was playing alone in the pavilion, he smiled.
"Miss Situ?"
The fifth prince was bored and fell on the chessboard, and when he saw that the person who came turned out to be Situ Yan, his eyes couldn't help but widen.
Isn't he dreaming?
Now, his status is worse than that of the street rat, everyone avoids it, this Situ Yan, even when he is in the limelight, he ignores her when he talks to her, and now this person actually appears in his house?
Thinking so, he reached out and rubbed his eyes again.
Then, he seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but say, it seemed that the other party had already made a decision.
"The chessboard is so brand-new, it seems that the Fifth Highness doesn't usually like to play?"
When the fifth prince was still immersed in whether it was a dream or reality, Situ Yan had already sat opposite him.
"Uh......"
Ling Xi was a little speechless, how boring it was to play chess, there were usually so many beautiful women in company, why did he spend time on this boring thing?
Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, the smile on Situ Yan's face couldn't help but deepen, and then, as if remembering something, he casually handed the scroll in his arms to the fifth prince, "This painting, give it to you......"
"Give it to me?"
The Five Princes were surprised again.
Could it be that there are really gains and losses, and that Seong is not a blessing if he loses his horse?
He is now accused of rebellion, but he has unexpectedly gained the favor of the goddess?
However, the price of this favor ...... Seems a bit big too.
My mind wandered, and while thinking, I slowly unfolded the scroll. The scene in the painting is very simple, just dark clouds covering the moon.
Large swaths of the sky were obscured by dark clouds, leaving only a crescent moon showing sharp corners.
The fifth prince looked at the picture scroll in front of him, and the expression on his face changed unpredictably.
"I believe in you."
Situ Yan's voice was like a breeze in his ears.
Hearing this, a hint of color flashed in the eyes of the fifth prince, and when he looked up again, he showed a touching smile, "With Miss Situ's words, even if I die, I have no regrets." ”
Situ Yan lowered her head and smiled, after going around for so long, she finally made a choice, to give up the hot Six Princes, and choose a prisoner who was about to be wiped out, it is estimated that everyone will think she is crazy, right? People in the world have always liked the icing on the cake, but as everyone knows, sending charcoal in the snow is the most valuable.
As for the man......
A cold face floated in front of him, and he couldn't help sighing, in life, who can be perfect without regrets?
Instead of pursuing hard and being used by people with intentions to become a pawn, it is better to take a step back and strive for happiness by yourself.
Just thinking about it, suddenly there was a heavy cough behind him, Situ Yan turned around and saw Lin Lang standing there, his haggard face full of anger.
Before she could speak, she spoke first, "Miss Situ, this person is all imprisoned, and you still come here to see him, aren't you afraid of being implicated?" ”
"Madame's words are serious, the Fifth Highness is just recuperating at home, so why do you say that you are imprisoned?"
Situ Yan retorted with a faint smile.
The goal had been achieved, and it was almost time for her to go.
"Humph!" When Situ Yan said this, Lin Lang was a little speechless, so he turned his head to look at the five princes sitting on the side, "Ling Xi, can you say something?" Will you let me go? ”
"Where are you going?"
The Fifth Prince frowned.
This woman, I don't know what to say about her?
At the beginning, he wanted to marry into the Five Princes' Mansion, but now he wants to escape from here. She still remembered what she had done to herself that day, if it weren't for Lin Qiong's face, would she still be alive now?
"Get out of here!" , Lin Lang looked angry, "Could it be that you want me to wait for death in this tomb of the living dead?" ”
"That's it-", the fifth prince suddenly laughed, "In this situation, I can't write you a letter of resignation, if you really want to leave, just pack up and leave......"
"That's what you said!" , Lin Langru was amnesty, anyway, there are so many women in this house, one or two less, no one will find out.
"But-", seeing that Lin Lang turned around and was about to leave, the fifth prince added with a smile, "Now, it seems that only the dead can leave here......"
"How do you want to ?!!" , As soon as he heard this, Lin Lang suddenly panicked, if this person is desperate, he can do everything, thinking like this, his tone is much more relaxed, "Your Highness, I don't want to die yet......"
"When did I say I was going to let you die?"
The smile on the fifth prince's face deepened, "The reason why I say this is to let you know that once you leave here, you will already be a dead person, and in the future, there will be no more Lin Lang in the world." ”
If you really want to be beheaded all over the house, even if you are a concubine, you can't be spared. Therefore, if Lin Lang wants to escape, he can only die first in terms of identity. The death of a concubine in the back house will naturally not attract attention.
"I ......" was said by the fifth prince, Lin Lang hesitated, but after thinking about it, she was immediately relieved, she went out at this time, but she was just a dead person in terms of identity, without this identity, she could still live well, but if she stayed here, according to the current form, she was not just a dead person in her identity, she would really die.
The thought was certain, so he gritted his teeth, "As long as you can leave here, the dead will die......"
