Shushan Tianlao is a famous poison king in the southwest, although he is not from the Guigu Gate, he has always been deeply involved with the Guigu Gate. He has always been unrestrained and reckless, but he is responsive to Guiguyang's call.

This ordinary tangerine is as big as a goose egg. Shushan Tianlao gently cut it open with a knife, picked the golden orange flesh on the tip of the knife, looked at the bright light outside the window for a while, and then frowned, and said: "Sect Master, your judgment is naturally correct, it is indeed a wetland insect Gu." However, the control of the wetland worm Gu on the patient is divided into four stages: one is to enter the flesh, which makes the patient's skin itchy and unbearable; the second is to enter the blood, causing the patient to be depressed and his diet to decrease sharply; the third is to enter the bone, so that the patient hurts into the bone marrow, and life is worse than death; Four can kill you. The old man looked at this tangerine, the Gu under it should be the fourth stage of the fatal Gu! ”

"Huh?" Guigu Yang was also stunned: "The person who poisoned is so vicious, why do you have to use such a femme fatale?" ”

Shushan Tianlao snorted coldly, "The palace is high, as long as the purpose can be achieved, these people will do anything. Our emperor, except for being open to the sect master at the beginning, he has always been ruthless and decisive. I don't know which person with a deep hatred of blood did such a despicable thing? ”

Guigu Yang did not express Princess Zhaoyang's suspicions, so it seems that Concubine Xi is the biggest suspect. The current situation can also deduce the motive of this noble concubine, and now that the goal is clear, the most important thing now is how to deal with it.

"This poisonous woman who deserves a thousand cuts!" When Princess Zhaoyang heard Guiguyang's report, she was so angry that she scolded. "I think I reminded the emperor at the beginning and asked him not to accept this woman as a concubine, after all, she is the princess of Beiyue, a woman who has a family hatred and hatred for the country can do anything."

"Concubine Xi has had no heirs since she entered the palace, and later the prince bowed to her after the death of her mother, and she has been in peace for many years. Now in order for the crown prince to ascend to the throne and be able to take revenge, Concubine Xi has done this kind of thing. Guiguyang remembered that more than ten years ago, Emperor Wei led his army to conquer and destroy the Beiyue Kingdom in the southeast of Great Wei. Because the king of North Vietnam refused to surrender after the defeat, the country ran out of ammunition and food after three months of siege, this king is also a powerful character, and the last fire burned down the entire capital, and the North Vietnamese clan basically died with the fire, and later I heard that only this North Vietnamese princess was left. After Emperor Wei led his army into the city, he was angry and did not surrender, and the soldiers burned and looted for three days and three nights, and accepted the princess of Beiyue as a concubine.

"I'm going to tear her to pieces!" Princess Zhaoyang's face turned red, and her willow eyes were murderous.

Guigu Yang hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry for the time being, the princess has to think carefully about this matter." The subordinates thought that Concubine Xi had poisoned the emperor, and the prince must have known about it, or maybe the prince's idea was unknown. Now that the prince's remarks are unknown, even if he asks Concubine Xi for this matter, the prince can still stay out of the matter. The princess wants to do big things, how can he startle the snake? ”

"So what do you say?" Princess Zhaoyang was angry and asked coldly.

"Lead the snake out of the hole!" Guigu Yang avoided Princess Zhaoyang's cold gaze, and looked at the cold and gray sky outside the window, his tone soft. "The subordinates thought that if we quietly spread the news in the harem first, the crown prince and Concubine Xi would definitely be panicked, and they would definitely take the next step as soon as possible. If my guess is correct, the prince's next step should be to lead the army into rebellion. ”

"Bringing troops into trouble? He Wei Qin has a few heads! Princess Zhaoyang chewed on Guigu Yang's words carefully, and then suddenly said: "Yes, he has now put the emperor in the air, and the courtiers will definitely support him as orthodox." As long as something happens to the emperor, he can naturally succeed to the throne. However, the 30,000 forbidden troops in the capital, how could he easily succeed? Besides, Xu Jiang's secret spy department is also a powerful underground force, the prince has no soldiers in his hands, wouldn't it be an egg to attack the palace? ”

Guigu Yang shook his head and smiled, "The 30,000 forbidden army is not monolithic, and Wei Chixiong is also loyal to the emperor. But whether it is the crown prince or the king of Ding, he must have his own personal confidants in the forbidden army. The prince wants to do something, who of these cronies doesn't want to support the merits? So the Praetorian Army is not necessarily completely reliable; The secret spy department mentioned by the princess seems to be even less reliable in the eyes of her subordinates. Xu Jiang's position is unknown, he will definitely turn a blind eye when the time comes, the secret spy department is loyal to the emperor, he Xu Jiang is loyal to the next emperor who is about to succeed to the throne, do you say he is wrong?

Moreover, the princess said that the prince had no soldiers. But the Prince's Mansion has its own 2,000 soldiers, and he must have secretly adopted a group of dead soldiers, which is not difficult to understand. The most important thing is that among the Jingshi, there is another force that none of us have paid attention to, and in the following opinion, this force is the greatest reliance of the prince! ”

"Could it be that this force that the sect master is talking about is a city garrison?" Princess Zhaoyang was angry just now, so her thinking hadn't caught up yet. Now that it's back to normal, my mind is clear.

Guigu Yang saw that the princess had a very high understanding and was broken at all, so he continued: "The prince has the city guard camp in his hands, so he can naturally make a desperate bet." There is a plan to kill two birds with one stone here, I don't know what the princess wants? ”

"Killing two birds with one stone? In addition to the crown prince, which bird is the sect master going to shoot? Princess Zhaoyang said suspiciously.

"Of course, it's Dingwang! King Ding has been competing with the crown prince for the crown prince, why not bring him with him this time? Guigu Yang smiled slyly, "We will reveal the information that the prince is going to do to the king, and the king will definitely compete with the prince in the name of King Qin, and after they are both defeated, the princess will come forward to clean up the mess." In this way, the princess not only has the merit of protecting the country and the king, but also has the work of stabilizing the country, in Dawei, in addition to the emperor, who can be the right of the princess? ”

Princess Zhaoyang is so smart, Guigu Yang's little abacus finally revealed the fox's tail. It is natural that Guigu Gate can get a piece of the pie in this great change, but after all, she is a woman, and I am afraid that most of the benefits she gets will fall on the head of Guigumen. The most critical issue on the basis of cooperation is the distribution of interests, Guigumen wants to maximize interests, and won't he have his own little Jiujiu?

Princess Zhaoyang said quietly: "Most of the forces of King Ding come from Jiangmen, and the strength of Jiangmen is distributed in various military towns, and it is difficult to make great achievements in Beijing. ”

"King Ding has long had the intention of seizing the heir, and naturally he has been prepared. The princess didn't know that there were several huge manors on the outskirts of Jingshi City, which were actually the underground property of King Ding. The farmers and subordinates in these farms are all soldiers, and they are the elite of the elite with extraordinary combat power! The Duke of Yasukuni is a famous general of the Great Wei Dynasty, and he secretly handed over the elite of his subordinates to King Ding, and he is sprinkling beans into soldiers! ”

Princess Zhaoyang was angry for a while: "They are so rampant under the nose of the imperial brother, don't the imperial brother know about it?" Now that we're in this situation, hey—"

Guigu Yang shook his head and said, "The emperor lives in the temple, how can he know everything?" Imagine, if the emperor hadn't encountered an unforeseen disaster, with the emperor's strength, who would dare to think otherwise? It is also because the emperor was too confident at the beginning, and it is very difficult for the princess to solve these remaining problems. ”

"This palace understands that the sect master means that when the prince makes a move, we will reveal the news to the king, and the king will send his underground forces to fight the prince, and then we will decide on the next battle?"

Guigu Yang smiled.

Princess Zhaoyang saw that Guigu Yang had a good chest, his nose was not sour, and his royal brother was still on the sickbed, and it was better to die, and how many people in the world could really care about him? When people are in high places, are they only accompanied by the abyss and the wind?

"Brother Huang's illness, Shushan Tianlao must have a way, right?" Princess Zhaoyang couldn't help but sigh secretly, if the imperial brother could get better, the situation would definitely improve.

"This matter has also been discussed between subordinates and Shushan Tianlao, and the poison in the emperor cannot be reversed. The layer we can do well is to save the emperor's life and relieve his pain, and we can't help the rest. ”

"Are you saying that the emperor can only stay in bed for the rest of his life, and he is a wasted person?" Princess Zhaoyang's eyes widened.

"That's the best result, it depends on the means of Shushan Tianlao's medicine application and the emperor's physical condition. This kind of wetland insect Gu is extremely difficult to cure, and in the whole world, only this poison king can solve a little bit, if there is no help from him, he can only wait for death. ”

Princess Zhaoyang lifted the red skirt, walked in front of Guigu Yang, stared straight into Guigu Yang's eyes with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said word by word: "I hope you didn't lie to me!" Some things can be done with the trend, but some things cannot be reversed. If the royal brother can get better, I can return a complete country to him, which is his luck and the luck of our royal family; If he doesn't get better, I have my own responsibility, and it's my life! ”

Guigu Yang was shocked, did the princess know that this disease could be cured? No, only Shushan Tianlao has this ability in the world. Letting the emperor lie sick and become a real puppet is the best result for himself. Once you can control the government and coerce the puppet to order the world, how fast is it? In addition to the title of emperor, she can get everything else, Princess Zhaoyang is a woman after all, and the benefits she gets will basically fall into her own hands.

Seeing that the princess was suspicious, Guigu Yang hurriedly said: "The princess doesn't have to be responsible, there is indeed no precedent for successful treatment at present, but the subordinates will definitely let Shushan Tianlao do everything possible to find a way to solve it." As long as the emperor can save his life this time, there will be a chance of healing. ”

"Okay, let's go into the palace tomorrow to see the emperor. The next step is to implement it according to the sect master's arrangement. Princess Zhaoyang was already physically and mentally exhausted, and after saying goodbye, she went back to the back room.
