Forget the dust, how I was poisoned. ”

Zhao Wangchen's expression darkened, and he bowed respectfully to Fang Qingchen.

"It's a disobedience, and in the past, I put colorless and tasteless medicine in the wine that the master drank. If this medicine is drunk alone, it actually causes very little damage to the body, and the master's magic skills are supernatural, and it is unhindered. However, if you add one or two strange drugs as an introduction, the two drugs will be combined, and they will turn into strange poisons, which can dissipate strength and turn qi, and make people soft and crispy. ”

In the past few years, he has made friends in the rivers and lakes, inquired about the secrets of the world, secretly married the imperial doctor in the palace, and searched for strange medicines in the world.

At this moment, Fang Qingchen just smiled calmly, listened to him respectfully, and explained to himself.

"These days, Master has been drinking and eating together with the Emperor Taishang, sleeping and going out together. As long as the Emperor Taishang has a heart, he wants to find an opportunity to plant medicine to cause toxicity, which is naturally very simple. ”

One poison and two blows, because he was afraid of Fang Qingchen's martial arts and alertness, those simple poisons couldn't hide from him. And he took the risk of letting Chu Ruohong start poisoning, and refused to do it himself, but he wanted to see what kind of expression Fang Qingchen would have after being poisoned by his apprentice and the most important person.

However, Fang Qingchen just smiled calmly.

"Forget the dust, you have disappointed me. If you choose to launch now, the risk is too great. The right thing for you to do is to slowly accumulate strength by my side for a few more years, and wait until your own position can be completely independent of my influence, and when the authority in your hands is more firmly grasped, then look for an opportunity to make a move. ”

Zhao Wangchen was silent.

He didn't know that if he shot now, the chance of success was actually very small. However, he couldn't wait any longer.

Qin Xufei's parting warning. Alerting him, his plans turned out to be as secretive as he thought. Even if no one else notices it for the time being, once Qin Guofeng disappears, Qin Chu will be friendly. There is always a danger that his plan will be exposed by Qin Xufei before it can be implemented. And the princes everywhere are ready to move, wanting to do the thing that the yellow robe adds to the body. Even if Fang Qingchen was reluctant, as long as he ascended the throne as emperor, Chu Ruohong, a chess piece that he had carefully protected for two years, would have no meaning.

What's more important is that Chu Ruohong can't hold it anymore. Since the evacuation of the Qin people. He had secretly made trouble with him many times, and kept asking him when he could make public the fact that he was sober, and when he could get close to Fang Qingchen again. If he doesn't help Chu Ruohong realize his wish, he is only afraid that Chu Ruohong himself will ruin his big thing.

Not to mention. Himself...... I can't take it anymore. Day and night, careful, hiding his own thoughts, perfectly playing a person who is not himself at all. The hardships of this period are not to be said by outsiders.

He knew he should forbear, and then forbear. But no matter how much he can endure it, after all, he is still just a teenager who has not been deeply involved in the world. Chu Ruohong still has his outlet to vent, and he. Every day I open and close my eyes, I look forward to revenge, but I don't even dare to sleep. I'm afraid to say even a word in my dreams.

Chu Ruohong relied on him, made trouble with him, begged him, but he wanted to look at this person who played an innocent role in his brother's death, and comforted him without revealing the slightest flaw.

If he gritted his teeth like this, he had to wait endlessly, and if he survived, he was afraid that if he couldn't find a chance to take revenge, he would go crazy like Chu Ruohong.

Therefore, while he still had the forces of the imperial palace and the imperial city in his hands, and now that he had the opportunity to launch a coup d'état and abolish the establishment, he finally decided to do it.

Unlikely to succeed? It doesn't matter. He has many conspirators, but there are not many of those he asks.

Therefore, he woke Chu Ruohong up, let him firmly entangle Fang Qingchen, let the courtiers be confused and confused, and let the princes' small movements stop for the time being. He was successful.

However, Chu Ruohong was just tired of Fang Qingchen all day long, enjoying the false and ridiculous gentleness, and refused to take the next step.

So, he visited Ganning Palace. He didn't go to visit and ask Fang Qingchen, but to remind Chu Ruohong. That's why Chu Ruohong pretended to be asleep, so after he left, he was trembling with fear, but he pretended to be overjoyed.

Chu Ruohong knew that even if he was reluctant, the showdown would come after all. Therefore, he found such an opportunity to lead Fang Qingchen out of the palace, avoid everyone's ears and eyes, and come to this desolate mountain, after the last plea was refused, causing Fang Qingchen's body to be highly poisonous, making him almost paralyzed.

It's just that Zhao Wangchen did underestimate Chu Ruohong's madness, and he didn't expect him to almost commit suicide. If that step is wrong, every step will be wrong, so now that he sees the blood marks on Chu Ruohong's chest, he still has some palpitations.

Seeing that Zhao Wangchen didn't answer, Fang Qingchen smiled and continued to ask: "You should know that I am not a person who can be threatened to submit, why do you still expect me to bow my head and agree." ”

Zhao Wangchen replied respectfully: "The disciple does not dare to threaten the master. The disciple poisoned you, just because he was afraid that the master would get excited and hurt the emperor, and he would regret and feel guilty afterwards. What the disciples are looking forward to is just that the Emperor Taishang can move you with affection and move the master, and then the monarchs and ministers will work together to revitalize the Chu State and protect the people. ”

Fang Qingchen looked at Zhao Wangchen, almost appreciating. If his arms could still move, he would even clap his hands in admiration.

Regardless of whether his plan is clever or clumsy, but when things come to this point, he can still maintain such a calm and respectful attitude, and there are no obvious loopholes between his words, and he is not at all arrogant, and it is not easy to reveal the ugliness of his true form.

The young man he taught may be more suitable for the court than himself. That's the place in the world where acting skills and forbearance are tested.

"If I don't say yes, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Wangchen's face turned pale, gritted his teeth, and looked at Fang Qingchen, his eyes were almost pleading: "Master, please have mercy on our sincerity, pity and pity the inhuman torture that the Emperor Taishang has suffered in the past few years, don't be stubborn anymore, okay?" The poison in your body has dragged on for a long time. Even if it can be solved, it will leave hidden dangers. At least it will be immobile, and at worst, it will be soft and paralyzed for life. Master, now the matter has come to this. If such an unspeakable thing really happened in the end, how could the disciple be embarrassed. ”

Fang Qingchen almost wanted to clap his hands. Alas, look at this, look at this expression, it's really 100% acting!

He smiled happily again and asked, "Well, if I promise you, what will happen to you?"

Believe me, how can we be sure that we will cooperate with each other? You're not going to be soft. was pushed to the court and went to abolish the emperor and establish the king according to your wishes, right? ”

"As long as the master is willing to agree, the disciple will naturally detoxify the master immediately. It's just that this poison has been under for a long time, and in the past few years, Master has always been drinking, and the poison has long been deeply rooted in his heart. It is not something that can be expelled with a single antidote, and it takes a long time to take the medicine continuously before it can be slowly removed. When our master and apprentice join hands to govern the country, the disciples should do their best to ensure the timely supply of the antidote needed by the master. ”

Fang Qingchen looked at Zhao Wangchen with a smile.

This kid is still too young. I don't know what it means to fight a tiger without dying, and it will eventually become a disaster. Unless a person like himself is killed now, he can be controlled casually with any poison.

However, he just said these words to give Chu Ruohong peace of mind.

Fang Qingchen really thought it was very interesting.

Now he is. There is no self-preservation. If Zhao Wuchen can be more decisive, say a few words of nonsense, and kill himself cleanly now. It's not a good move. Witnessing his death, Chu Ruohong would inevitably fall into chaos, and at this time, as long as Zhao Wangchen pushed everything on the Emperor Taishang who was mad, who would doubt him, a disciple of Fang Hou?

Fang Qingchen is the most important bargaining chip for balancing the court. And Zhao Wangchen is his only successor. If he dies violently, with this identity, in the imperial court, as long as the response is done well, Zhao Wangchen can still be left and right, and the future is still unlimited.

Merely......

With Zhao Wangchen's actual thoughts, I am afraid that he still expects that he will agree to help Chu Ruohong seize the throne, and then, in fact, whether he does not know that there is a poison in his body, he takes the initiative to agree because of Chu Ruohong's plea, or he agrees in order to try to find an antidote and delay time, after Chu Ruohong succeeds to the throne and the overall situation has been decided, Zhao Wangchen will immediately induce toxicity and take the first step to kill the killer before he counterattacks.

He is actually gambling, betting on the love between Fang Qingchen and Chu Ruohong, he will not temporarily have an antidote to suppress the toxicity, and after having some ability to act, he will choose to die together and reveal their plan to the world, but will first follow his thoughts, delay time, seek an antidote, and then find an opportunity to get rid of him.

For if he had exposed his plots...... Chu Ruohong has no way to live.

He was gambling that he couldn't bear to let Chu Ruohong die.

At this point, he also gambled well.

If Chu Ruohong is the emperor and he dies again, Chu Ruohong has no means and wisdom that can match the emperor's position, so he must find another person to rely on, and then rely on one person.

This candidate is naturally only Zhao Wangchen, who has been helping him and planning for him.

It's just that today's Zhao Wangchen is not lighter than the place back then.

No matter how powerful Fang Qingchen was back then, all kinds of means had never been used against Chu Ruohong, so Chu Ruohong could hurt himself unscrupulously. And how could Zhao Wuchen make the same mistake, where can his scheming methods be handled by the little Chu Ruohong.

Once he gains the support of all the princes and the folk Qingliu by being the only descendant of Fang Qingchen, and then completely elevates Chu Ruohong, Zhao Wangchen will really be above ten thousand people, but he may not be under one person. If it can be properly managed, twenty years later, it will not be Chu Xirong who is today, but Chu Ruohong of his dynasty. It's just that Chu Ruohong is far from having Chu Xirong's mind and wisdom, which is enough to see all this.

Fang Qingchen finally sighed softly: "Your arrangement is not inconsiderate. It's a pity......"

His gaze swept lightly over the two: "I don't agree." ”

"Why?"

"Why?"

Chu Ruohong and Zhao Wangchen shouted at the same time. It's just that Zhao Wangchen's expression was only slightly unhappy and disappointed, while Chu Ruohong was angry and a little crazy.

"Back then, I promised Xiao Yuanfeng that unless the new emperor made a big mistake, he would never abolish the establishment. I ensured his support that he gave up the fight for hegemony and supported me, and I have never broken my word in my life. ”

Chu Ruohong didn't think about it, so he said loudly: "You don't have to abolish him!" There are many accidents in this world that can make a person's death very reasonable. He has no sons, no brothers, and there is no prince in the state of Chu now! The country can't be without a king for a day, I'm already sober again, and I'm still very young, he is dead, and it is a matter of course to support me to restore the throne, there will be no controversy, and you haven't broken your trust in others! ”

Fang Qingchen frowned slightly and looked at him, his eyes were a little complicated.

"I'm not going to do that, and I'm not going to allow anyone else to do that as long as I'm alive. Although the emperor is young, in the past few years, there has been no major turmoil in the government and state affairs of the Chu State, and there is his strength and heart. He had great wisdom and a good heart, and in time he would be a good monarch. He didn't do anything wrong, and he had no merit for the Chu State. He didn't deserve to be sacrificed needlessly......"

"Then I deserve to be sacrificed, don't I?" Chu Ruohong shouted and approached.

Fang Qingchen looked at him calmly: "Ruohong, you are not a good monarch. You indulge your feelings too much and value your own feelings too much. When the test comes, you don't even try to struggle, you give up your country, your people, your responsibilities. It has been proven that you are not fit to be a king. Not to mention that the current emperor is not immoral, even if he makes a big mistake enough to be deposed, I will set up another smart and promising master in the clan, and I will not choose you. ”

Chu Ruohong looked at him with tears in his eyes: "I'm like this, it's not that I was harmed by you, you forced it, you ......"

Fang Qingchen's tone did not have a trace of ups and downs: "Yes, I was wrong. But you also have a responsibility. I have hurt you, but you have lost your family and your people. Up to now, all you want is to fight back for your power and status, and you are not trying to do something for your people. What I owe to you is what I owe you. I can't take a country back. The country of Chu does not belong to me, nor does it belong to you. ”

Chu Ruohong laughed miserably and knelt in front of him: "Then what do you take!" What do you take back? ”

Fang Qingchen sighed softly and closed his eyes indifferently, as if he didn't want to say a word or look at him again.
