Chapter 89: The Struggle for the Throne (9)
After dinner, Yan Ziyue was very bored, leaned on the corridor in the courtyard and looked at the starry night sky, knocked on the melon seeds, took out the map from his arms, looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt very tight, a little worried, and after struggling with about a pillar of incense, he got up and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
"Yue'er..., where are you going so late"? Yan Li has been staring at Yan Ziyue for a long time.
"Father-in-law, I'll just take a walk," Yan Ziyue replied with a grin.
"Oh...", the look of disbelief on his face.
Yan Ziyue looked at the courtyard door, and then looked at the grim look on Yan Li's face, knowing that it couldn't be hidden, so she had to confess honestly: "I'm a little worried about the Nine Emperors and they want to take a look."
Yan Li was silent for a while, thinking to himself what kind of person this Nine Emperor Prince was, who could make Yue'er so attentive, so he walked up to Yan Ziyue and said, "What were you looking at just now?"
"Ahh You see it", Yan Ziyue twitched the corners of her eyebrows, and took out the map from her arms and handed it to Yan Li.
Yan Li took it and unfolded it and frowned after looking at it, and Yan Ziyue, who was looking at it, said with some inquiry in his eyes: "What's going on with this."
"This..."?
"Don't you say it yet"?
Yan Ziyue looked at Yan Li's serious expression, and after a little thought, she made a statement.
"If you really want to go, do you have to go"?
"Hmm...", Yan Ziyue nodded and replied.
"Okay, I'll go with you, and besides, change into my night clothes and go," he said, turning around and walking towards the house.
A moment later, two black figures melted into the night, flashing between heaven and earth.
The two of them evaded the patrols of several groups of guards before coming to Lingcang Pavilion.
Yan Ziyue was about to jump into the wall, but was pulled by Yu Li and hid in the bushes on the side.
A man dressed in a eunuch's uniform was crouching at the base of the wall and tapping on the code, and after a while, a servant girl sneakily slipped out of the doorway.
"Niangniang told you to do it tonight", the eunuch said, stuffing a bag of things into the maidservant.
"I...", after the maidservant took it, she was obviously a little scared, and she couldn't speak clearly.
"What are you, don't forget your sister, things are done neatly, and the mother has a heavy reward."
"Got it...", the maid held the thing in her hand and nodded slightly.
"I'm still stunned about what to do, and I don't go yet."
The maidservant listened, got up and went to the door, and one accidentally fell, got up in embarrassment, and fled into the Lingcang Pavilion.
There is a distance, and the voices of the two are also small, and they can't hear it clearly for a while, but they also guess a rough idea, although this kind of harmful means is risky, but the success rate is high, and there is no way to find out if they kill people afterwards, and they don't feel tight in their hearts, this royal battle is really cruel.
Yan Ziyue heard well, listened to the conversation between the two word for word, bit her lip, and couldn't wait to immediately arrest the eunuch for interrogation to see who the mastermind behind this was.
"Yue'er... Let's go...", Yan Li didn't know that Yan Ziyue had already heard the content clearly, and wanted to go in first to see the opportunity to act, so he pulled her and jumped into Lingcang Pavilion.
There were few servants in Lingcang Pavilion, and there were no guards, so after the two entered the courtyard, they walked around in a grand manner.
Yan Ziyue saw a figure that was a little familiar, it turned out to be the maid at the door just now, so she followed her closely, and saw her go to the hall with food.
Yan Ziyue and Yan Lifei went to the roof, opened the glazed tiles and saw the situation in the hall.
The maidservants put the food on the table one by one, respectfully turned sideways, and stepped aside.
"Brother Jiu, come and eat, I'm so hungry", Xiao Huang tiptoed to sit down on the round stool next to the table, picked up the chopsticks and was about to do it.
"Yue'er... Where's it"? Yan Li didn't have time to hold Yan Ziyue.
Yan Ziyue jumped down, dodged into the house, and knocked the poisoned maid unconscious with a knife, and she was choked by Xiao Yan, so shocked that all the dishes in Xiao Huang's clip fell.
"Is that you"?
"It's me, and I won't let go yet."
Xiao Yan let go of Yan Ziyue, glanced at the top of his head, and asked without a little warmth in his tone: "Are the people on the roof with you?"
Yan Li lay on the roof and watched all this, and almost made a move, but when he saw Xiao Yan let go of his hand, he endured it, and now when he heard Xiao Yan say this, he flew down, entered the hall, and closed the door with his hand.
Xiao Yan glanced at Zhan Li, his eyes were cold, although he was not hostile, but he was definitely not friendly.
Yan Li is now the face of the deity, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm sorry", turning the embarrassing atmosphere into invisible.
Xiao Yan retracted his gaze, looked at Yan Ziyue and said, "What are you doing here?"
Yan Ziyue directly ignored Xiao Yan's question, took out a silver needle from her waist, and measured the meals on the table one by one, and sure enough, the toxins were measured on the soup and desserts.
Yan Li looked at Yan Ziyue's smooth and natural movements, and was a little surprised, he usually paid too little attention to Yue'er, so that Yue'er didn't know when she learned this.
Xiao Yan watched Yan Ziyue's silver needle poke out the poison, and the silver teeth were bitten, a little angry, and his hands fell and clenched.
Yan Ziyue put the poisonous food aside, sat down beside Xiao Huang, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to taste it.
Yan Ziyue saw Xiao Huang looking at him blankly, so she said, "Eat, aren't you hungry, it tastes good."
Xiao Huang turned his head and began to eat, and by the way, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yan and Yan Li, and did not speak again.
At this time, he only looked at Xiao Yan slightly, I am afraid that this can be regarded as a beautiful man who belongs to the second subordinate in the world, his martial arts are very high, and his restraint is also very good, but his breath is not very stable, his mind is extremely heavy and even a little erratic, his temperament is cold, and his sense of defense is very strong.
Xiao Yan felt the gaze of Zhan Li, and shot back in his eyes, revealing a naked sense of threat, he was despised by Zhan Li, and felt frustrated for a moment, but he quickly adjusted, walked to the table and sat down, and began to eat.
"Father-in-law, let's eat something together, it's a supper", Yan Ziyue said with a smile.
Yan Li did not refuse, sat down next to Yan Ziyue, and ate elegantly.
After a while, all four of them were a little full.
"Flame, you should be careful about the people around you, this poison was given by the servant girl who brought the food just now, but she was also instructed by someone, what are you going to do now?"
When Yan Ziyue heard Yan Ziyue's name, he was stunned for a moment, and his eyes glanced at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan is very useful for Yan Ziyue to call himself like this, this is the first and only person who calls himself like this, it sounds very intimate, especially when he pays attention to the eyes of Zhan Li, he is in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth are not easily pulled.
"The plan is calculated", and the flame cherishes the word like gold.
"Oh..., looks like you've got a solution, do you need our help?" Yan Ziyue grinned.
Xiao Yan originally wanted to say no, but after thinking about it for a while, he still spoke: "You can protect Huang for me."
"No, don't you even have that ability? Your people, you find a way to protect yourself", Yan Ziyue looked at Xiao Yan's expression after a straightforward refusal and continued: "But I will assist you because we are friends."
Xiao Yan looked at Yan Ziyue and didn't know what to say, a corner of the ice in his heart had begun to melt, Yan Ziyue was a special existence for himself, a special character, a special way of doing things, a special thought, and a special feeling.
"Yue, you guys go first", Xiao Yan looked at Yan Ziyue and said.
"Hmm... It's okay", Yan Ziyue got up and didn't forget to pinch Xiao Huang's face, and after walking to Xiao Yan's side, she stuffed a blue vial into his hand and said, "This is for you, detoxification." With me in the shadows, you can do it with confidence! Also, I took this man away, so that I would not be killed for a while."
Yan Li didn't say anything, she didn't object to what Yan Ziyue said, and she didn't want to support it, but she also knew that if she decided, she couldn't change it, so she could only let it be, and it seemed that she knew more than she imagined, and I believe she could handle it.
Xiao Yan listened, a smile bloomed on his face, fleeting, his heart warmed, and he suddenly felt that he had a general reliance, and he became more confident and bold.
Yan Li and Yan Ziyue walked out of the hall and disappeared in a jump.
After the two left, Xiao Yan discussed with Xiao Huang, then opened the blue vial left by Yan Ziyue, swallowed a small pill, drank a little soup, and then stroked the plate on the table, knocked over the poisonous dessert, and lay on the table pretending to be unconscious.
Xiao Huang walked to the hall and shouted, attracting all the subordinates and servants in the Lingcang Pavilion, and the clever ones had already run out of the Lingcang Pavilion to ask for the imperial doctor.
Everyone didn't dare to move Xiao Yan, so they had to keep comforting Xiao Huang, who was howling and crying.
After about half an hour, the imperial doctor came, probed Xiao Yan's snort and pulse, his face was solemn, and he ordered someone to move Xiao Yan back to the bedroom.
"Doctor Tai, how is my ninth brother"?
"The situation is still unclear, but it must be poisoned", the imperial doctor said, first took out some medicine from the medicine box and let people fry it quickly.
The imperial physician thought about it repeatedly, and felt that it was a matter of the prince, and he didn't dare to make a conclusion easily, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform Imperial Physician Shen.
Imperial Physician Shen was greatly surprised when he heard about the poisoning of the Nine Emperor Princes, and rushed to Lingcang Pavilion with some antidote medicinal materials.
When Mr. Li heard the news, his heart tightened, but his face was calm, he only said that people should not be in a hurry, they must not be stretched, and they must do their best to rescue Imperial Doctor Shen, but they thought in their hearts why these palace ladies couldn't hold their breath so quickly, and this action was also rampant, but something could not really happen, and they came to the dormitory of Xiaoji overnight to report.
At the same time, all the gardens of Muhua Palace got the news as soon as possible, but the news could not be transmitted to Mingqiong Garden.
After the third prince and the fifth prince heard about it, they couldn't be happier.
Concubine Zhong had expected it, and only waited for the news of the poisoning death of the Nine Emperor Brothers.
Concubine Li was startled at first, and also sighed that someone was more ruthless and crazy than herself, and she probably guessed who did it, and she didn't feel a chill in her heart.
After listening to Mr. Li's words, Xiao Ji immediately got off the dragon bed, so angry that he almost didn't tear down the dormitory.
"It's too presumptuous, is it dead when Lonely"?
"Your Majesty, calm your anger, you can't startle the snake, otherwise your previous efforts will be wasted."
Xiao Ji listened to Mr. Li's words, smashed the vase on the shelf with a punch, and slowly stabilized his emotions, telling himself that those who want to achieve great things, sacrifice is inevitable, this is a world of the jungle, only blame the emperors for not being strong enough, and people who are not strong enough will not be able to support this free sky in the future.
"You go, let's see how Yan'er and Huang'er are doing", Xiaoji said with a sigh of relief.
"It's... The minion will go, Your Majesty will wait with peace of mind, as soon as there is definite news, the minion will come back immediately to report", Manager Li withdrew after speaking.
