Chapter 173: Conspiracy and Calculation
"You already knew that the poison on Meng Kite's body needs the mandala flower of the Northern Desert." Lan Ling'er said firmly.
Dongfang Qi's eyes were deep for a moment, staring at Lan Ling'er for a long time, and suddenly laughed, and said, "I don't want me to underestimate you, how do you know?" ”
Lan Ling'er took a deep breath, it was really what she thought, and then a smile bloomed, and Lan Ling'er said unhurriedly: "Because of the hunting ground." ”
Dongfang Qi raised her eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.
Seeing Dongfang Qi's expression, Lan Ling'er also knew that her guess was almost complete, "The beast tide in the hunting ground should have nothing to do with you, maybe it wasn't you who led it, but you must have known it in advance and fully cooperated." ”
"How so?"
"Because you're badly injured, and Moyu is unscathed, don't you think it's strange? Your martial arts are definitely above Moyu, even if Moyu is clever, but you are not stupid. How can I make myself like that, I have personally experienced that beast tide, and naturally I know the power of it. The only possibility is that it's all of your own free will. ”
Since the beast tide, this is also a question that Lan Ling'er has always been unable to figure out, why did Dongfang Qi voluntarily suffer like this?
"If I'm not mistaken, this is also what the emperor meant, you have all discovered the importance of Moyu to Mo Yan, and in this way, he owes Amaterasu a favor. The general trend of the world is gradually collapsing, and Nanchuan is gradually out of control, even in the rivers and lakes. What the imperial family needs is that when Amaterasu recovers Nanchuan, the Northern Desert can be a wall-to-wall view. ”
At this point, Lan Ling'er's voice became colder, and said: "It's just that the emperor underestimated Mo Yan's shrewdness, Mo Yan has long known that everything is just a self-directed and self-staged play, and then he had an accident in Amaterasu with Mo Yu, and Amaterasu's protection was not effective, so he returned all the blame." Although he didn't pursue it, it didn't mean that he really forgot about it. ”
"So what?" Dongfang Qi shrugged, his delicate face was still smiling as always, but there was a hint of surprise in the depths of his eyes. He never thought that Lan Ling'er would be able to see through these schemes one by one in secret, and turned his gaze to the crystal coffin on the side, originally he thought that Lan Ling'er and Bing Meng were the same type of people, and they would eventually kill themselves because of revenge.
Even if Lan Ling'er is smart and wise, she may not be able to withstand the power struggle that is ruthless and conspiratorial. That's why she will be persuaded to leave, and once she gets into trouble, she can't get rid of it. It's just that now, he suddenly discovered that this woman might have more surprises waiting for them to find out.
"That day, Dongfang Yi had his own calculations, and he cooperated on the surface, but he would not be injured on your behalf. The assassination he arranged can be regarded as a complete blockade, and he needs to regain the emperor's trust. And Dongfang Yu, whose identity is the crown prince, is that too many people look at him. Only you, the three princes who have always been unsquirming, can carry out the plan, and the horses are stained with Nanchuan's medicine, although it is rare, but compared to the royal family, it is simply a breeze. ”
"It's just that you also have your own plans, what you want is indeed Moyu to be able to thank you, but what you want is not a promise, but a flower, mandala. It is used to treat the disease of Meng Kite. Lan Ling'er said firmly. Since Dongfang Qi is under the tutelage of Concubine Rou, she must be a skilled doctor.
He can make lotus flowers bloom undefeated, and can make begonia flowers bloom like a dream in winter, so he naturally has the ability to research an antidote to Meng Kite. What's more, he's not that easy to control.
"I don't understand, why don't you directly hand over Meng Yuan to the Northern Desert Royal Family, as Mo Xun's daughter, she will naturally be taken seriously. You don't need to plan at all levels, I think Mo Yan should have known that you had other plans, so he left with Mo Yu. ”
Sighing lightly, Dongfang Qi had to admit that the woman in front of her was much smarter than Zhi Bingmeng, "If she is allowed to go back, she may not come back again for the rest of her life, right?" How could the Northern Desert Imperial Family let their county lord marry the prince of Amaterasu? I can't take any chances. ”
Hearing this, Lan Ling'er's heart moved, and she never thought that behind the dashing prince, there was such helplessness hidden.
"You can take her with you." Lan Ling'er said softly.
saw Dongfang Qi sneering: "Leave? The world is not the king's land, how could my father let me go? Although you are smart, you just don't understand many things in this royal family. The reason why the eldest brother chose to die instead of taking Yan Qin to the ends of the world is because he knows that he can't escape such a fate. ”
"An identity is a lifelong bond." Lan Ling'er muttered. The world says that the prince is noble and abnormal, but they don't know that they have been bound by this identity all their lives.
"Do me a favor." Dongfang Qi's eyes never left the face in the crystal coffin, and said quietly.
Lan Ling'er was stunned for a moment, "Help?" She didn't know what she could do to help Dongfang Qi, not to mention, she had no obligation to help him.
Nodding, Dongfang Qi looked away and said, "I'll use a message in exchange for you doing me a favor." ”
Hearing this, Lan Ling'er raised her eyebrows, with a hint of playfulness in her eyes, and said, "See if the news you said is worth my help." ”
Laughing lightly, Dongfang Qi didn't mind at all, and said, "The royal family got the news that Mu Xinghan has picked the heart of Snow Lotus. ”
Lan Ling'er instantly stiffened her smile and said firmly: "Impossible." "There have always been people guarding the Heavenly Mountains in the Remnant Shadow Pavilion, if someone really got the heart of the Snow Lotus, how could she not know.
Dongfang Qi glanced at Lan Ling'er, then looked away, "I told you a long time ago that Mu Xinghan is not as simple as you imagined. ”
Before Lan Ling'er could reply, Dongfang Qi continued: "The boss behind the 'Hundred Flowers Building' is you, and it is the power of the Remnant Pavilion, so it is also yours to come to the Remnant Pavilion. You have never hidden anything from Mu Xinghan, and it is not impossible for him to bypass the people of the Remnant Pavilion to go to the Heavenly Mountain. ”
"But there is no heartless snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountain, all snow lotus is heartless." Lan Ling'er retorted, but there was a hint of uncertainty in her voice that she couldn't recognize.
Sneering, Dongfang Qi said lightly: "There is only one snow lotus that really has a heart, and naturally it is not something that ordinary people can find." The snow lotus on the top of the entire Tianshan Mountains has unexpectedly opened recently, and you know this kind of vision. According to the ancient records of the royal family, this is the snow lotus that has bloomed. ”
"Mu Xinghan said that he was sick a while ago, and he thought that he would go to the top of the Tianshan Mountains. With him out of the horse, how can there be any mistakes? ”
Lan Ling'er was stunned, and was speechless for a while, Dongfang Qi looked at Lan Ling'er like this, her eyes flashed, and she sighed lightly and said: "The spies of the royal family came to report that Mu Xinghan did go to Tianshan Mountain some time ago. It's just that he didn't see him returning. ”
"Like you said, he is naturally foolproof when he goes out, how can he make a mistake so that the people of the royal family know?" Lan Ling'er tried to argue. But I found that I couldn't convince them. In this way, maybe Mu Xinghan really just used himself to make the royal family lose their suspicion of him? However, if this is really the case, then why let the royal family know that he has found Snow Lotus?
Seeing Lan Ling'er's gradually pale face, a trace of unbearability flashed in Dongfang Qi's eyes, and he said lightly: "Mu Xinghan doesn't have to use you to let the royal family eliminate their suspicions about him, because his father has never reassured him." From childhood to adulthood, his father gave Mu Wangfu a lot of preferential treatment on the surface, but there were countless stumbling blocks in secret, and he was able to get through it safely. At this point, he is definitely a bottomless person, how could his father let such a person survive in the world. ”
"And Mu Xinghan himself should also know in his heart that it is really unnecessary to deliberately use you to let the royal family eliminate suspicion of him."
Suddenly, Lan Ling'er looked at Dongfang Qi and said, "What do you want me to help you?" ”
Dongfang Qi was slightly stunned for a moment, and was a little uncomfortable with Lan Ling'er's sudden reaction, this woman is changing too fast. It's just that what he doesn't know is that Lan Ling'er had doubts about many things from the beginning, and she knows Mu Xinghan's feelings for her better than anyone else.
She naturally has a shot in her heart, which is right and wrong, she can see it clearly.
"Give Meng Kite to Wu Chengcheng, but listen to you, it should be called Yiyue." Dongfang Qi said lightly.
There was a hint of suspicion in her eyes, and Lan Ling'er was puzzled, "Why?" You're not..."
With a wry smile, Dongfang Qi looked at the woman in the crystal coffin obsessively, and said, "I can't get the mandala flower, I can only cure her with the help of the hands of the Northern Desert royal family." ”
"What if she never comes back?" Lan Ling'er asked.
Spreading his hands, Dongfang Qi pretended to be useless and said: "So what, she is at least alive, and I at least have hope of seeing her." She hates me in her heart, when her feelings are shaken, she thought about leaving, and I am already deeply trapped, how can I easily let go and forcibly imprison her by my side. Revenge or not, as long as she can be by my side. ”
"But I don't want to, my persistence took her life. I should have known that my fate was not up to me. ”
Hearing this, Lan Ling'er opened her lips, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only smile and say, "That's why you brought me here?" ”
Nodding, Dongfang Qi's face regained his smile, this kind of smile seemed to be something he had been practicing since he was a child, the same, no more, no less. It's comfortable, but it's uncomfortable.
Thinking about it, Lan Ling'er still handed the prescription in her hand to Dongfang Qi and said, "This is what Concubine Rou asked me to give to you, maybe she has never intended to hurt you, but in the end, she has been hurting." "The grievances between them are only clear to the parties concerned, and Lan Ling'er can't judge the quality of Concubine Rou, but there are some things that Dongfang Qi should also know.
The smile on Dongfang Qi's face was put away, and he looked at the paper that Lan Ling'er handed to him with complicated eyes, stunned, and did not move.
Lan Ling'er is not in a hurry, whether Dongfang Qi is active or passive, this thing, she must hand it over to him, naturally, it is best to take the initiative.
After a long time, Dongfang Qi slowly reached out and took the piece of paper, glanced at the prescription, his expression became more and more complicated, and his brows were frowned, this was a distress that Lan Ling'er had never seen before, and couldn't help but say: "Is it wrong?" ”
Dongfang Qi was stunned for a moment, put away the prescription, shook his head and said, "That's right." ”
With a sigh of relief, Lan Ling'er turned around and left, and said, "Give me Meng Yuan and this prescription another day, even if the medicinal materials in it are counted, the Northern Desert royal family can still take out this little thing." ”
After a pause, Lan Ling'er continued: "The King of the Northern Desert used to be infatuated with Princess Moxun. ”
