Chapter 67: Danger Lurks (Part II)
"How's your business going?" Xiangye immediately changed his face and asked in a low voice.
"It will definitely be done within three days, but what kind of consciousness is this play today, and I hope to make it clear?"
"It's just politics, how can a woman understand."
Xiangye looked at Xiao Qian's eyes full of scrutiny, and he was so oppressive, this daughter really didn't know her at all.
"Do you want to win with the emperor, or do you want to lose both?" A forced smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Qian's mouth.
"The winner is only the prime minister, don't worry, the emperor can't kill you, just take him into an army."
"Gao, Xiangye is really smart, the emperor is not such an easy person to deal with, you want to take this opportunity to sort out the situation of the entire court, how many people are loyal to the emperor, and how many people are loyal to you, as for the loyal emperor party, you will secretly eradicate it, and then you can set up the imperial power and become the emperor with real power in Xuanwu, this is a secret move. Ming move, if the emperor doesn't kill me, he will lose the hearts of the people, because a woman is the emperor who is opposed to hundreds of officials, do you say the emperor's position is still stable? ”
Xiangye was shocked, how could she even see the secret tricks so thoroughly! She really can't be underestimated anymore.
She took in Xiangye's frightening, and she wouldn't put it, this was all my conjecture based on Xiangye's character without evidence, and I actually guessed it. Xiao Qian remained silent, her eyes flashed slightly, and she smiled and played Tai Chi,
"We are father and daughter, I have inherited your blood in my body, of course I can understand Xiangye's thoughts."
"Hehe, she deserves to be the daughter of her own appearance." Xiangye smiled awkwardly.
"Is the list already there? Can you add the four princes to the list, he must be royalist. Xiao Qian asked tentatively, rape fox, wouldn't there already be a list of assassinations?
"He's not that easy to deal with, so let's deal with the easy ones first."
"Is it using Gu poison?"
"You don't have to worry about this, Benxiang will take care of it."
"Since you have the ability to call for wind and rain, what's the use of recommending candidates for the head of the Ministry of Water, the target is directly the imperial power, and I can become a princess by then."
"Wrong, the selection of the head of the water department is very crucial, this is a move that goes directly to the heart, so that the emperor can't turn over. Haha" Xiang Ye smiled at the conspiracy on his face.
And the woman has a cold sweat behind her, what should I do?
Now she has no choice but to smile flatteringly, "Is the Queen Mother's poison also from her father?" ”
"Don't leak the secret of heaven, work hard, Qian'er, Dad is very optimistic about you. Now that the play has been sung, it's time to end. Three days, it must be completed, the original phase has raised a new kind of strange Gu, if the second lady likes it, she has to give it to her......"
"Daddy is really joking, I'll do my best. If there is anything that the father can do, he can tell his daughter to do it. Xiao Qian pursed her lips lightly, her eyes gradually cooled, but they were sharp and terrifying......
Xiangye, you are ruthless! Dare to use my mother to threaten me, I Bai Xiaoqian can no longer tolerate you, you and I no longer have a father-daughter relationship. You are now my mortal enemy, and you will be destroyed.
"Okay, good daughter, is the middle roll done?"
"No, the emperor's secret guard looked at me too closely, I can't expose it. If the emperor discovers the translated middle volume, the consequences will be unimaginable, give me some more time......"
"Okay, be cautious first......"
Xiang Ye walked out of the hall, "Everyone disperses, this matter will be explained to everyone." ”
Many ministers couldn't stand it anymore, and as soon as they heard the Prime Minister's instructions, they immediately got up.
After a while, the ministers were all gone, leaving only one person, young, it should not be the Xiangye Party, nor the royalist party, it belongs to the pedantic party, "May I ask Xiangye, how to give an explanation, you and your daughter have been talking about the old days for so long, have you been persuaded by her, and your heart has softened." ”
"You're just a sesame petty official, go back and dare to question your true nature." Xiangye was already very tired, and his father-in-law had already helped him back, and there was only one dead eye left outside the hall.
"Demon girl, you don't have to be complacent, the sky is watching, God will punish you."
"May I ask your name?"
"I'm Tang Zhao in Qipinzhou, how do you want to retaliate against me, let the horse come."
"Lord Tang, you should get up and speak first."
"I won't fall for it, you have something to say."
"You are really old-fashioned and upright, okay, your body is your own, you are going to kneel to death, I am afraid that the relatives and enemies will be fast, I want to ask you, why do you insist that I am a demon girl?"
"Because everyone says you're a witch, you're a witch." Master Tang said righteously.
For such a reason, Xiao Qian shook his head and smiled, "Lord Tang, a scholar like you is really pedantic, have you ever studied it with false rumors?" You believe what others say, don't you judge yourself? Do you think I'm like a witch too? ”
"Is this ......?"
The corners of Xiao Qian's mouth hooked a trace of arc, this person has no opinion at all! "Lord Tang, why are you sticking something behind your back, the emperor will see it in a while, I'm afraid he will treat you for a crime of dereliction."
"What," he said, turning to look behind him, there was nothing.
"There is a saying that seeing is believing, hearing is false, I'm lying to you, you can be easily fooled."
A knife slammed Lord Tang unconscious, I want to send you to the hospital quickly, Xiao Qian left quickly with him on his back, and said to the unconscious Lord Tang: "You should have more experience, and then become an official, you have no opinion to follow the party, the people don't need an official like you." ”
"I'm rushing back, something is delayed, is Master Daoman here?"
"What is the matter with you looking for the poor road?"
Xiao Qian quipped: "It's already here, it's good that the mage is here, the Queen Mother may be saved, you can help me do things in this room." I'm afraid there's a demon in the room. ”
"Poor Dao bluntly said, this room is not only demonic, it is simply demonic. Look at the poor way to collect demons. ”
Master Daoman's indiscriminate finger-pointing practice, burning talismans, chanting words in his mouth, and sprinkling holy water everywhere, it really looks like that, Xiao Qian can't help but laugh, see what good show you can sing!
I only heard the words of Master Daoman: "Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Taishang Laojun will soon manifest his spirit, the gods of the east, west, north and south, show their power together, hurry as an order, the demon will come and die!" Then with a sharp squirt, the talisman was burned in an instant, and he chanted again in Xiao Qian's direction.
"Okay, the demonic energy has been extinguished, it's over. There are some talismans here that are taken and pasted, and the youkai will not enter this room again. "The mage is colored.
What the? Xiaoqian almost choked while drinking tea, how did this scene end like this? Bland, no surprises, actually deceived my feelings like this. She asked disappointedly, "Is it really over?" ”
"Your Majesty, Poor Dao can save the Queen Mother, Poor Dao asked the family teacher Mo Tianren for a pair of elixir, but the elixir needs medicine to save the Queen Mother."
The emperor frowned and asked, "What kind of medicine?" ”
"It takes a drop of blood. But this drop of blood must be virgin blood. There is also a condition that she must be an ordinary woman with a good heart, she must first eat a poisonous toad that is more than a hundred years old, and she must also have strong willpower, so that the toxicity in the body can be transformed, so that her blood can resist, so that the poison in the queen mother's body can be expelled. ”
"This requirement is not difficult, there are tens of thousands of palace maids in the palace, and many palace maids with good hearts should be eligible, you can pick someone at will." If you can save the Queen Mother, everyone will be duty-bound. "Zhang Gong is fair.
"No, it looks simple, but it's actually difficult. The hundred-year-old poisonous toad is very poisonous, and this woman must have deep internal strength to be able to resist the poison. There are other conditions, if she is not a virgin, or if she is not an ordinary woman with a good heart, this medicine will become poison after drinking it, and she will definitely die, and she will kill the queen mother. Can the person who tested the medicine bear such a sin? ”
"I'm not afraid, can I, I want to try." Xiao Qian said.
"Are you sure? Are you all eligible? ”
"My willpower is fine, it shouldn't be a wicked person who can sacrifice what I have saved, as for whether it is a virgin ......or not" Xiao Qian deliberately paused, pulled a long voice, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I ...... I won't tell you, if my blood can't save the Queen Mother, I will be punished for the crime of murdering the Queen Mother. Are you satisfied, Master Daoman? "I'll cooperate with you and see what tricks you play.
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled quietly: "But I ask to see your elixir first." ”
"Yes" The mage handed his elixir to Xiao Qian, she took the medicine and smelled it, but ordinary can't be in ordinary antipyretics. She heard the emperor describe the situation of the queen mother, she couldn't deduce what kind of poison it was, if there was really Xue'er in this time and space, maybe she had a way to detoxify. Now this so-called elixir will definitely not be able to solve the poison of the Queen Mother, the key is to deduce who gave the poison and find out the culprit and ask for the antidote.
Xiao Qian felt that there were two suspects who were the most suspicious: one was the Queen Mother herself, and the other was Xiangye. Now I see that Master Daoman's practice is fake, and it is true that he wants to use her blood to detoxify. If the Queen Mother poisoned herself, she must have left a way back for herself, no matter whose blood it was, she could be saved. If it weren't for the poison of the Queen Mother, then my blood would not have been able to save the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother would not have hung up, so this matter is like gambling, and there is only a half chance that you can guess it.
"Qian'er, there are many eligible people, you don't need to take risks." The emperor's face was not good, and he disagreed.
After taking the poisonous toad, detoxify with blood is still reasonable, the last two conditions are pure cui is a fart, the key is that if I don't save the queen mother, this is a feudal society, how many palace maids will innocently test the medicine and die, this she has to take action. There is another reason, if you don't cooperate with them, you can't set out their true purpose, Xiaoqiantong shoes are professional undercover Oh, even if they fail, they are professional.
"No, I have made up my mind, the emperor doesn't need to persuade me, please fulfill it."
"Have you forgotten that you are already my woman, and you don't meet the requirements, Father-in-law Zhang, you posted a notice, and those who volunteered to help the Queen Mother make medicine will be rewarded with ten thousand gold."
"Ten thousand gold!" Xiao Qian raised her hand happily, her eyes lit up, "I'm the first to sign up, Grandpa Zhang." ”
"Except for you!" The emperor shouted displeased.
"The Queen Mother can't wait, she can't use medicine before tonight, I'm afraid the gods will be difficult to save."
"Gonggong Zhang, Master Daoman, you two go out for a while, and I will discuss it with the emperor if you have something."
The two of them walked out calmly with their own concerns.
