Chapter 168: Truth and Falsehood
When Lan Yao and Ye Qingli secretly went to the Pingnan Palace, news of the DPRK and China also sprung up in all directions.
The place where Shengguo spies live.
Bai Qinghong, dressed in green clothes, stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, but a somewhat fierce smile appeared on his seemingly elegant and square face, and asked:
"So, this unknown daughter of King Pingnan, who has peerless medical skills, is actually the confidant of Empress Ning Shu of Daxuan?"
On the opposite side, the white-haired young man who was playing with a few golden snakes in the altar on the table nodded again and again:
"Yes, this son is interested in this Minghui county lord, I really don't see anything unusual when I look into his past, no matter which way I look at it, she seems to be just a very unfavored and down-and-out lady."
"But when I saw her Ye Qingli make a move that day, my son knew that she was by no means an idle person, so he sneaked into this Pingnan palace to check, and found that now this Pingnan palace seems to be the evil princess of Pingnan, the eldest son Ye Minxi and the second lady Ye Yuanqin, in fact, they are all poisoned, the key is that this poison is not the same, if an ordinary doctor comes to the clinic, it will definitely not be able to see."
"Therefore, as soon as I guessed, I knew that there could be no one else except for the hidden Minghui County Lord."
The white-haired boy was obviously the most obsessed with poison, and after saying so much, even if he poked his head again, he was extremely excited:
"It's better to let Ben Gongzi try it himself, and you will know how good this Minghui County Lord is, speaking of which, Ben Gongzi is really a little impatient!"
"Have you ever found out when this Minghui County Lord had such a deep connection with this Empress Ning Shu?" Bai Qinghong was surprised in his heart, and asked again.
"Well, I don't know the specifics, but it shouldn't be too long, about the time when Qi Yuming's son dies, when Her Majesty the Empress protects her, right?"
The white-haired young man replied before he opened his mouth, and suddenly remembered something in the middle of speaking, and said inadvertently:
"Hey, speaking of which, in fact, this Minghui County Lord Ye Qingli and Empress Daxuan Ning Shu's temperament has changed greatly and the time for her first appearance is not too much different, are they discussed?"
Such suspicions are not unreasonable, and the white-haired boy felt that his guess was very reasonable, and he couldn't help but exclaim for a while:
"Your Highness, if you look at it this way, there are so many suspicious points on these two people that there are countless of them, as if they are completely different people, could it be that both of them are impersonating?"
The young man's joke was not nonsense, Bai Qinghong's eyes suddenly sank, and he also thought a little:
"As you said, if these two people are not hiding and pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, then they are really different people!"
"Da Xuan, the notorious female tyrant, can still be fake, so, it's very interesting!" The white-haired young man smiled evilly, rubbing the little golden snake wrapped around his arm, and his eyes were full of light:
"My son really can't wait to try the depth of these two strange women!"
Bai Qinghong looked at a certain Heavenly Poison Boy who was already eager to try, and his voice was a little colder, but he said cautiously:
"There is a lot of fog behind these two people, judging from the information we have gathered now, they are by no means idle, and even this king is not completely sure, so they must not act rashly, if they startle the snake, this king will not be able to explore their true details."
The young man's actions were urgently stopped, his expression was really depressed, he fiddled with the few remaining golden snakes in the altar, and wanted to fight for the last chance, but he directly sacrificed the killer weapon, smiling like a flower:
"Oh, Your Highness, you're the best, just let me go, if you don't let me go, I'm bored, my son doesn't know what I'm going to do, and when the time comes, this place will be disturbed, and you should have a headache!"
Bai Qinghong looked at this young man who was not very old but behaved very violently with a black line, his expression was quite helpless, and at the end he said with great disgust:
"Han Suiyan, you are a terrifying natural poison boy on the rivers and lakes, why are you still so virtuous after so many years, what kind of system has you become, and you are not afraid of making people laugh when you spread it!"
"What is the system, it doesn't mean anything at all, what's the use of this son asking for that thing."
The white-haired boy raised his head slightly, and the doll face showed a somewhat harmless smile that seemed to be human and animal, but the words he said were so shocking:
"Besides, whoever dares to laugh at this son, then kill it, anyway, my poison art is unparalleled in the world, and my reputation has never been very good, are you still afraid of these gossips?"
Han Suiyan operated as fiercely as a tiger, but at the end he said very childishly:
"And Your Highness, Sui Yan is not like this to everyone, this Minghui County Lord is really too interesting, if you miss it, this son doesn't know how long it will take to find another person who is equal to me!"
"I'm really convinced." Bai Qinghong was already surprised by Han Suiyan's behavior, and he still couldn't survive this strong offensive after all, and compromised:
"Han Suiyan, you can go, but you can't reveal your identity as the Heavenly Poison Prince, the best way is to use the power of Princess Napingnan to investigate, maybe there will be another harvest!"
Han Suiyan, who got permission, got up excitedly, and immediately turned around and disappeared, leaving only a smug laugh: "Come on, that son will go first, see you soon, Your Highness!" ”
After the white-haired young man left, a black figure quietly appeared behind Bai Qinghong, and after saluting, he revealed the news of the recent days in the palace.
"So, Qi Yuming was defeated, and he could only pretend to be sick and go home in order to save his respect?" A sharp smile appeared at the corner of Bai Qinghong's mouth, and his words were very sarcastic,
"This old thing, it's really useless, from the assassination in Selangor to the coercion of the court, this king has provided him with so many conveniences, but he didn't even succeed in doing a thing, hehe!"
Bai Qinghong's expression was slightly gloomy, and when he heard these bad news, anger rose slightly in his heart, and he said:
"It's really that this king thinks highly of this prime minister who has been in the court for decades, in the final analysis, it's just Er'er, but this inscrutable behavior of Her Majesty the Empress seems very suspicious."
Speaking of this, a cold light suddenly flashed in Bai Qinghong's slightly shaken eyes, as if he had thought of something extremely bad, and a layer of killing intent shrouded in the whole person:
"Ning Shu, this person, everyone who practiced tyrannical politics in the past was punished, and now he has become the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch, it is really two extremes!"
The secret guard Xue Jing also said: "The subordinates have not found any evidence of the doubtful identity of Her Majesty the Empress, but she has acted so differently before and after, it can be said that her temperament has changed drastically, it is really too abnormal, and looking at the strategy she has done, it is definitely not a mediocre king, maybe there is a bigger secret behind this." ”
"Yes, today's Empress Daxuan is no longer the tyrannical faint monarch, the changes she has made, whether it is a wide range of advice, micro-service private visits; It is still divided and divided, and the rule of officials is rectified; Or the implementation of public examinations and the recruitment of talents, all of which are shocking moves and good policies for governing the country. ”
"If there is no one behind her to instruct her, then the foresight and saggery of Her Majesty the Empress, who wants to change her ways, will be no less than the overlord of any party in the world."
Bai Qinghong did not hide his appreciation for Lan Yao in his words, but at the same time, he also regarded her as the biggest hidden danger, and couldn't help but sneer:
"But because of this, if this person continues to be Her Majesty the Empress, Daxuan will be able to turn the crisis into peace and prosperity, but how should this king rule the world?"
Xue Jing added: "Then Your Highness means that we want to take this opportunity to never suffer in the future?" ”
"No, it's too risky, and we don't have a foolproof solution." Bai Qinghong looked into the distance, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his lips, "Instead of spending a huge price to play with Her Majesty the Empress who doesn't know the depths, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and continue to kill people with knives." ”
"Anyway, Her Majesty the Empress Ning Shu and Qi Yuming, the Prime Minister, the contradiction is irreconcilable, as long as another fire is added, then the snipe and clam will fight, and the king can naturally reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
Xue Jing's expression moved slightly, and he said with admiration: "Your Highness is wise. ”
"By the way, do you know the situation in Queen Feng Ash?"
Bai Qinghong's attitude towards Feng Ember was also very cautious, he had also crossed paths with this Shura Ghost King over the years, so he naturally knew that this person was terrible, so he asked again.
"According to the news from our people in the Tai Hospital, Feng Shen is extremely seriously injured, Ning Shu kept vigil all night yesterday, and he was late for a long time this morning."
"And because Feng Shen's condition is not good, this news is already flying all over the sky and can't be hidden, so Ning Shu can only be forced to announce at today's court meeting that the queen was injured and recuperating due to the assassin the day before yesterday."
Xue Jing, as Bai Qinghong's confidant, did not have too many scruples, and directly expressed his opinion:
"The subordinates feel that this matter should be true, once Feng Shen is highly poisonous, then Ning Shu will be like losing her right hand and being unable to support herself, and she should not be able to turn over any storms!"
"Perhaps, that's just what he wants us to see." Bai Qinghong knew too well all the way that he would lose all the games if he accidentally lost everything, so he didn't dare to be careless, but instead remembered the scene when he fought with Feng Ember outside the Jinluan Hall that day, his eyes were cold, and he sneered:
"Feng Shen is the most difficult person to deal with, when he was competing outside the Jinluan Hall that day, this king secretly used the poison of 'Lethe Chuan' developed by Sui Yan on him, although this poison is the same as the poison of the arrow wound he suffered in Selangor, and the effect of the superposition of the two phases will be more violent, but after all, he has entered the realm of freedom, and he is very cunning, and it is difficult to determine the extent of the injury."
Xue Jing asked tentatively again, "Then how does Your Highness think this matter should be handled?" ”
"Use our spies in the palace, don't let go of any details, and report as soon as there is news."
Bai Qinghong immediately ordered, he turned around, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then looked at the Prime Minister's Mansion in the northwest meaningfully, and said with a smile:
"In fact, true or false is not an extremely important thing for us, if we can take advantage of his illness to kill him, if not, we can also slowly figure it out, the future is still long."
"It's that this prime minister has suffered such a big loss in front of Ning Shu, he should be unbearable after repeating, why don't we go and visit?"
Xue Jing immediately understood, "My subordinates will go and prepare." ”
