Chapter XXXIII. Dark
Since Chen Ziyou's assassination, King Wei has arranged Chen Ziyou to recuperate in the palace, which is one of the few rights he can still use.
King Wei sat anxiously in front of Chen Ziyou's bed and asked impatiently, "When will he wake up?" β
The imperial doctor standing beside him hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Return to the king." Although Chen Xiangguo's injuries were very serious, he should not be unconscious, and the minister had no clue for a while. β
King Wei coughed heavily, his face was as white as paper, and it took a long time to recover, and he said angrily: "How did you become an imperial doctor!" β
The imperial doctor hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Please spare the king!" β
King Wei opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly felt that his palm was gently pinched, and he suddenly understood, and said softly: "Okay, you go down!" β
As if the imperial doctor had been granted amnesty, he hurriedly got up and retreated.
King Wei listened to the footsteps of the imperial doctor gradually walking away, looked at the palace maid beside him, and said, "You guys should go down too." β
A palace maid knelt down: "The king is sick, he should rest more, and he must not catch a cold again." β
King Wei glared at the palace maid angrily, but the palace maid didn't look up at King Wei, just knelt down and didn't speak.
After a long time, King Wei sighed softly helplessly: "Go and wait outside the door." β
The palace maid hesitated for a moment, but finally got up and retreated.
When King Wei saw that the door was closed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Chen Xiangguo? β
Chen Ziyou on the bed slowly opened his eyes, although his face was pale, his eyes were still clear.
King Wei opened his mouth to say something, but was pinched by Chen Ziyou's palm, King Wei looked at Chen Ziyou puzzled, only to see Chen Ziyou put up a finger and point out the window, and then put his finger in front of his lips to signal silence.
King Wei looked at the looming black shadow in front of the window and suddenly realized.
Chen Ziyou stretched out his hand to make a gesture to write, and King Wei hurriedly got up and rummaged in the room, but he couldn't find pen, ink and paper. Chen Ziyou sighed softly and ripped off a piece of clothing.
King Wei patted his head angrily, looked at Chen Ziyou apologetically, and then suddenly realized that he had clothes and cloth as paper, but there was no pen and ink, he thought for a while, suddenly frowned, and bit his fingers, and the blood slowly seeped out.
Chen Ziyou smiled lightly, very satisfied with King Wei's determination, and then slowly put away the expression of the Ruzi Kejiaoye, and took King Wei's bloody finger to write on the white cloth.
"Wu An."
King Wei breathed a sigh of relief and also wrote on the cloth.
"What's next?"
Chen Ziyou continued: "I continued to pretend to be sick and hide in the dark. β
"Plans changed?"
Chen Ziyou nodded in reply, and then thought for a while before writing, "The king must be determined. β
King Wei was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand what Chen Ziyou was referring to, did he mean the determination to kill Wu Kui? He had already made up his mind.
Chen Ziyou saw the stunned appearance of King Wei, shook his head, and wrote: "Wei Chen was present on the day of the murder. β
King Wei's eyes widened, looking at Chen Ziyou's faintly murderous eyes, he lost his mind for a long time, and his body trembled slightly.
It was necessary to kill Wu Kui, but this Wei king only wanted to kill a few leaders as punishment, in his opinion, most of the Wei ministers were threatened by Wu Kui, and the rebellion was not what they wanted, and many of them had made a lot of contributions and hard work in the past. In his opinion, at most, he will be demoted and reduced, and a little punishment will be enough, after all, he will have to rely on them to contribute more in the future, and there is no need to kill them all.
Chen Ziyou sighed softly, but he didn't explain more, just picked up King Wei's finger and wrote on the white cloth: "Please make up your mind quickly." β
King Wei looked directly at Chen Ziyou's eyes, and finally nodded decisively after a long time.
Chen Ziyou nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand.
King Wei also knew that the two couldn't stay together for too long, so as not to make the palace maid suspicious, so he got up and slowly bowed to Chen Ziyou, and then walked out.
After King Wei left, Chen Ziyou lay on the bed, his eyes closed, but his heart kept repeatedly deducing the next development of events, until the day of Wu Kui's rebellion, and then he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Wu Kui assassinated Chen Ziyou, who was the prime minister of a country, in broad daylight, which Chen Ziyou never expected, and Wu Kui's ruthlessness made Chen Ziyou still feel cold until now. And this assassination also completely disrupted Chen Ziyou's previous plan to act slowly, and even made Chen Ziyou fall from the original light to the dark in an instant. This is actually not a good thing, and it is more difficult for Chen Ziyou, who is in the shadows, to do something.
Since things have changed unpredictably, the plan has to change accordingly, which also makes Chen Ziyou have no choice but to choose an extremely dangerous move, and this move is life-threatening, which also causes Chen Ziyou to break out in a cold sweat, because in this move he chose to believe in a person.
......
Girder, Xiangguo Mansion.
Wu Kuian sat in his chair, his eyes closed and listened to the news that had just come from the palace.
Wu Kui not only ran the court in a monolithic manner, but also bought off a lot of palace maids and guards in the palace, especially the palace maids around King Wei, almost all of whom were Wu Kui's people. King Wei had just come out of the place where Chen Ziyou was recuperating, and a palace maid who was lying in front of the window and eavesdropping on the news came out.
"You checked Chen Ziyou's pulse today, is he really seriously injured and can't wake up?" Wu Kui said softly.
The imperial doctor who had just been in the palace to check Chen Ziyou's pulse was in Wu Kui's mansion at the moment, and the imperial doctor said respectfully: "Chen Ziyou is indeed seriously injured, it's just ......."
The imperial doctor hesitated for a moment, and then stopped.
Wu Kui frowned, his tone did not change, but the words he said made the imperial doctor break out in a cold sweat: "If you like to talk like this, there is no need to keep your tongue." β
The guard on the side drew his knife out of its sheath an inch, and the cold light of the blade was reflected on the face of the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor hurriedly kowtowed, and hurriedly said: "Report to Lord Xiangguo, although Chen Ziyou is seriously injured, according to the previous medical experience of the lower officials, it should not be impossible to wake up." β
Wu Kui said curiously: "Oh? Haven't you ever been unconscious like this before? β
The imperial doctor trembled and said, "Yes, yes, but it is extremely rare. β
Wu Kui said softly: "Do you think it is possible for him to pretend to be unconscious?" β
The imperial doctor was frightened by Wu Kui, where did he dare to hesitate, and hurriedly concluded without thinking: "It should really faint." β
Wu Kui nodded, and then waved his hand to the guard beside him, the guard nodded, walked to the imperial doctor's side, grabbed the imperial doctor's neck, and cut off his tongue with a knife while the imperial doctor opened his mouth.
The Imperial Physician collapsed to the ground, his hands over his mouth and squeaked but unable to utter a word.
Wu Kui slowly opened his closed eyes, looked at the imperial doctor who was rolling on the ground, and said softly: "I don't like to hear the word "yes." β
Wu Kui looked at the imperial doctor rolling on the ground with great interest, and after a while, he was a little disinterested, and waved his hand at the guard, the guard nodded, and dragged the imperial doctor out, and the imperial doctor with a mouth full of blood was dragged out of the door with a bloodstain.
Wu Kui bowed his head and said to himself: "The palace maid didn't find anything abnormal, and the imperial doctor also confirmed that he was in a coma, it seems that Chen Ziyou is really unconscious." It doesn't matter if you kill him or not, it's really naΓ―ve, just a Chen Ziyou wants to subvert my plan? β
Wu Kui opened the letter that had just been sent from Xu Zheng's mansion, and Xu Zheng had already expressed his sincerity and willingness to be a pioneer, and only wanted to be prosperous.
Wu Kui smiled coldly, as if he was a little disdainful of Xu Zheng's face, but his heart was indeed more stable.
He turned his face in the direction of the palace, although he couldn't see anything, but he had already begun to imagine what it looked like to sit on that throne, and he had been planning for nearly ten years, and he had half a gray hair until today, and now that everything was ready, Wu Kui was already a little impatient.
