Chapter 54: One Peach Kills Three Soldiers

Seeing Huang Qiong looking at herself with some puzzlement, Chen Yao nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the problem lies in the three incense sticks." The three incense sticks are not ordinary incense and sandalwood, but a special aphrodisiac incense made by the palace secret and made with special spices paid tribute by the Tibetan tribes and Dali. ”

"This kind of incense was used by the emperors of the past dynasties when they were fortunate to be concubines. And because the raw materials are scarce and expensive, only the palace has them in the whole world. Other noble and noble families, not to mention ordinary noble families, are ordinary princely mansions, and they cannot have them without the emperor's reward. ”

"After you left that day, I noticed that something was wrong with you, so I went back to your place where you were eating, and after checking it, I found that there was something strange in the incense ash. The domineering thing about this incense is that it makes you inhale it unconsciously without noticing. But once inhaled, ordinary people can't restrain it at all. Even if it is burned to ashes, it still has some effect. ”

"I only smelled the smell of incense ash at the time, and I was almost on the ground, even if I was lucky, I barely suppressed it, and I didn't make a fool of myself on the spot. What's more, you inhale so much? Even if your current strength is already above mine, it will be difficult to resist. If it weren't for your determination at the time, even with that vase, it would have been hard to stop. ”

"Actually, I haven't seen this kind of incense before, I just heard Miss mention it at the beginning, and beware that I must pay attention to it. Because when your mother married your father, someone lit this incense in her bedroom, so that she and your father really had a relationship. ”

"When I noticed that something was wrong that day, I immediately remembered that the young lady had told me in detail that I must be more careful with this incense in the palace. This kind of domineering fragrance is still on the way with the depth of the young lady's skills, and the vigilance of people, not to mention you and me? ”

"Thinking that if it weren't for King Yong's drunkenness, you wouldn't be able to fully resist the effect of this incense, and there was a row of young and beautiful palace maids standing outside. Under the domineering effect of this incense, what will happen, you don't need to say that you know. And with the current situation in our house, if something happens today, it won't even take tomorrow to stab your father.

"King Yong, in the eyes of your father or other brothers, he is a ridiculous man. But you just left the palace and did such a ridiculous thing, do you think about it, didn't you send the knife to your father and emperor, and other brothers, and even the clan or ministers with a heart? Don't forget, it's not just your father and the crown prince who are staring at you. ”

After Chen Yao's words were finished, Huang Qiong, who was deep in thought, stood up and paced repeatedly in the room for a long time. Originally, in his opinion, even if the crown prince or other brothers wanted to deal with him, they would wait for him to be calmer and some aspects of his precautions to be relaxed before he could do it.

If what Chen Yao said was true, someone actually gave himself such a deep trap on the first day he left the palace. It can only be said that some people are obviously unable to hold their breath, and it can even be said that they can't wait. But who did it? Is it to borrow a knife to kill someone, or is there some other purpose?

Is the mastermind behind the scenes, Yongwang or someone else? Thinking of this, Huang Qiong raised her head and said to Chen Yao, who was looking at her affectionately: "Sister Yao, are you sure that this kind of incense is only available in the palace, and you can't get it anywhere else?" Even those ministers who were deeply appreciated by their father, or some of his proud sons, did not have them in the palace? ”

"Also, can you tell who did this?" Is it possible for King Yong? Just as you just said, in the eyes of the old man and others, King Yong is already a ridiculous person anyway. Pulling a person into the water, even if it comes at the cost of a certain amount of stigma, but this kind of thing is no longer relevant to him now. ”

Huang Qiong's rhetorical question, but Chen Yao nodded very affirmatively and said, "I can be sure that this kind of incense is only available in the palace at least now." Even when the old prince was in power, there was no such thing in the house. Otherwise, with the depth of Miss Miss's skills back then, she would not have fallen into the way. If the young lady had seen such a thing, she would definitely be on guard. ”

"As for the ordinary ministers, your father has always prided himself on being a Ming Jun, where will he reward the ministers with these things. And I don't know if there are any of your brothers' mansions. But one thing is clear, even if there is, it is not a fair reward. With your father's character, unless you do it in secret, you can't get it. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yao said with some surprise: "Whether this matter was done by King Yong or not, I'm not sure." However, with the current situation of the Yongwang, at least he has no obvious reason to deal with you. When he was born, it was a time of great change in the palace. ”

"His mother almost had a difficult birth when she gave birth to him, when the old prince had just died of illness, and your father was trying his best to take back his rights. No one in the palace had the heart to take into account whether she was just a little noble person at the time and had a difficult birth, and it was the young lady who was pregnant with you with a big belly who saved their mother and son. ”

After he was born, his mother had no milk because of dystocia when she gave birth to him, and it was the nurse who Miss sent someone to find that saved his life, and it can be said that Miss had two life-saving graces for their mother and son. And with the current situation of King Yong, there is basically no possibility of ascending to the throne. ”

"Let's not talk about the two life-saving graces of the young lady back then, just the situation you are in now, it can be said that unless your father's son is the only two of you, there is no conflict of interest. It is not very likely that he will deal with you at this time, and it can even be said that it will not benefit him at all. ”

"Unless he was threatened with a fatal handle, he could not have done this kind of harm to others. Something that spoils oneself and reaps benefits for others. It's just that I don't quite understand, why don't you doubt the prince, but suspect that at least for now, King Yong, who still gets along well with you? You know, most of our house is the prince's people. ”

Regarding Chen Yao's doubts, Huang Qiong shook his head and said, "It is precisely because the prince's people account for the majority in our mansion that I did not suspect him. The reason is simple, if anything happens in my house, he is the first object of suspicion. If this kind of thing had been done by the crown prince, he would not have left incense ashes for us to have a chance to inspect. ”

"It is precisely because of the incense ash that can be examined that it shows that it was not made by the prince. Otherwise, even if this matter is set off, I will scream as soon as I hit the sky, then the unlucky one will be the prince. Even if my father is eccentric and suppresses this matter and the mud, it will more or less affect his image in front of the old man. ”

"I may not know about this incense, but you have lived in the palace for more than ten years. is also a personal person by my mother's side, there are some things I didn't know back then, and others may not know. The person behind the scenes, left the incense ash for us to verify, that is, using the fact that you may have a certain understanding of this incense, he made a big trap for us to take the initiative to drill. ”

"This person is very thoughtful. He knew that his father had planted eyeliner around us, and if we took the initiative to poke this matter to our father, he would be even happier to see it happen. But if we want to suppress this matter, he can also use his father's eyes to stab this matter to his father as well. ”

"And with the person that my eldest brother now understands, even if my father only reprimands him for this matter. With his not broad mind, coupled with some old accounts, I am afraid that he will hate us even more. His hand can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Through this incident, the contradictions between us and the crown prince that have not really broken out have been exposed in advance. Even in his opinion, if the prince thinks that I am deliberately framing him through this matter. As a person of the prince, maybe you can borrow the prince's hand to get rid of me directly. ”

When the time came, he made it public. Even if the father wants to keep the crown prince, the prince is afraid that the crown prince will lose his heart, and whether this storage seat can sit or not is really two words. If he kills his own brother because of a trivial matter that may seem to others, will that subject really be convinced of him? ”

"Even if the crown prince doesn't end up doing what he wants, at least he can make the prince lose face in front of his father. Think about it, my brother, who has just left the palace and has no foundation, has made the prince so painstakingly dealt with. So what should the prince do in private when dealing with other brothers who have been out of the palace for many years? ”

"If this matter had not been done by King Yong, this man's mind would have been even more terrible. He can use this incident to involve the Yongwang as well. In terms of my character, although I don't know much about King Yong at the moment, I can be regarded as having a certain understanding. If he knew that he was being used, it would be really difficult to suppress this. ”

"And judging from the situation in our house, it is difficult not to let King Yong think that this is the work of the crown prince. At that time, even if I wanted to hide it, the palace maids and eunuchs arranged by my father did not find out about it. He can also use the mouth of the eternal king to stab this matter to his father. ”

"Take this opportunity to provoke the contradiction between the crown prince, the Yongwang, and me. Maybe I'm not the only one of his targets, and even the Eternal King is one of the targets he wants to get rid of. If my judgment is not wrong, then this main messenger behind the scenes, who has a good strategy of killing three soldiers with one peach, is so meticulous and vicious. ”

"This person is terrible, I have only been out of the palace for a day. Even on the first day my father saw me, the people who knew about me could come up with such a vicious plan in such a short period of time. The most important thing is that the foundation of this strategy is based on his great understanding of not only his father, but also the character of the crown prince and the Yongwang. ”

"Without a deep understanding of the character of these people, it is impossible to come up with this poisonous strategy of killing three soldiers with one peach. People who can understand the temperament of their father, the crown prince and the king of Yong, plus this kind of incense that is only available in the palace, let alone ordinary people, I am afraid they have never heard of it. ”

"It shows that this person, except for my brothers, can only be a person in the palace, and even ordinary ministers are difficult to do. Besides, those important ministers who can do this, that person is not from an old fox. Let them take the risk of doing this kind of thing to exterminate the Nine Clans, there is no such possibility. ”

"But who is this person and what is his real intention? I want to use me to deal with the prince, even if I can't completely bring down the prince, I have to loosen the foundation under the prince's throne. Or do you want to use this incident as an introduction to completely intensify the contradiction between the prince, King Yong and me, and get rid of me and King Yong through the prince's hand? ”
