Chapter 18: Poisoning
"Lord Wang, what did you think about what I said in the letter?"
In the hall, Yuwen Ying looked at the only owner of the palace, and said with a little confidence: "The upcoming Huaqiao Festival, but we have an annual festive day here, when Yuwen Sutuo will definitely attend, we only need to arrange people to place poison in the banquet in advance on that day, forgive him for having three heads and six arms, and he can't save so many people present, in the face of such heavy casualties, on the side of the people's hearts, he can be said to have lost a battle, which is not justified for the prince who wants to raise troops to force the palace later?" ”
Hearing this, a gleam flashed in the eyes of the man sitting on the main seat, and a slightly hoarse voice sounded: "Yuwen Ying, these are all your people, you are really ruthless." ”
"The prince is serious, besides, those who achieve great things are not informal, since they want to establish a great cause, and some people sacrifice, isn't it inevitable!"
"Hehe, you can calculate, exchange hundreds of people's lives for your own selfishness, but" King Zhong paused, looked at the woman in front of him who was quite attractive, and smiled meaningfully, "I cooperate with you, what can I get?" ”
"Got? Lord Wang, now that you and I are in the same boat, will I still harm you? ”
"Princess", King Zhong gently lifted her chin with his hand, and asked in an inquiring tone: "I heard that the Persian royal family has a thing, and those who get it can get the world, does the princess know?" ”
Hearing this, Yuwen Ying raised her eyebrows, and said in twos: "Lord, haven't you found out my identity very clearly, do you think that with me, half of the royal family, it is possible to know the existence of important things in the Persian country?" ”
"Hehe, it's okay! I have sent someone to bring you your intimate maid Jasper, so you can go down to the wing room and rest for a while. Since the princess is willing to cooperate with me, I will treat you well as a courtesy. ”
"In that case, I will wait for the good news from the prince." After that, Yuwen Ying turned around and left the hall with the family, unaware that she had entered the thief's nest where the mantis was catching cicadas and the yellow finch was behind.....
"Alec."
"The subordinates are here."
"Go according to the plan, by the way, tell Lord Wang, I have prepared the person he wants, so that he can come over at any time to accept, don't forget to agree."
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
...........
In the prince's mansion, Song Wan and Xiao Beichen sat in the hall waiting for Yuwen Sutuo's arrival. "Wanwan, you said before that Yuwen Ying would conspire with King Zhong, do you know about their conspiracy?"
"I don't know, but there is a flower festival in Persia next, and I heard that it is a day to enjoy with the people, and if they want to do it, they will definitely give priority to that day."
"Hmm..... The people of Persia are good at illusion and poison, Wanwan, which do you think they will use? ”
"It's hard to say, but King Zhong shouldn't be able to make a big deal at the moment, so poison should be their most conservative and most advantageous method, but they can't imagine where they will throw poison, so many people will be present at that time, and they can't check all the food one by one before starting the feast, which is too labor-intensive and time-consuming."
Hearing this, Xiao Beichen lowered his head and pondered for a while, always feeling as if he had left some important information behind, but he couldn't remember anything....
"I'm sorry to keep you two waiting." After the words fell, Yuwen Sutuo slowly stepped into the hall and said slightly apologetically to them.
"It's okay, His Royal Highness the Prince, can you find out the whereabouts of the princess?"
"No, but Miss Song asked me to send someone to pay close attention to the movements of the palace, and I have found out some strange things in the past few days."
"What's the matter?"
"My lord has been in and out of the palace frequently recently, and staying is a stick of incense, I suspect that they have an ulterior secret, but the palace is heavily guarded, and my people can't enter the palace to visit for the time being."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Beichen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, looked up at Yuwen Sutuo, and asked anxiously: "Prince, in the upcoming Huaqiao Festival, will there be drinks at that time?" ”
Although he didn't know why Xiao Beichen had this question, Yuwen Sutuo still nodded and affirmed: "Yes, every year's Huaqiao Festival is arranged by me, since it is a day to enjoy with the people, wine is naturally necessary." ”
Really! Between the lightning and flint, Song Wan seemed to understand why Xiao Beichen asked such a question, since he chose to poison the Huaqiao Festival, then the poisoning place must be unguardable, and some people may not eat the food, but this drink, in this kind of day of joy with the people, as long as the king raises a glass to celebrate, the people in the audience will naturally drink two sips, if it is really poisoned here, the consequences will be really unimaginable.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, who will be in charge of the drinks at that time?"
"Aseda, my personal guard."
"Aseda? Did this person appear on the day the princess disappeared? ”
"No, he just told me that he was going home to visit his hometown in those days, and I didn't see anything important in the house, so I asked him to go back first" After that, looking at the two who suddenly fell into silence, Yuwen Sutuo frowned, knowing that something must have gone wrong, so he asked out loud: "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with it? ”
Song Wan and Xiao Beichen glanced at each other, and then said to Yuwen Su Tuo: "Aceda, I'm afraid this person's identity is different." ”
"Miss Song suspects it"
"Yes, we thought it strange on the day the princess disappeared, with the time we heard the voice and rushed over, it is impossible not to even see the figure of an assassin, the biggest possibility is that someone in the palace is secretly assisting, now it is certain that Aseda is probably a pawn planted by King Zhong in the palace to monitor the prince's every move."
"How can this be true, I will send someone to pass on Aseda to come and see what the hell is going on!"
"Prince, slow down."
"Xiao Gongzi?"
"Prince, naturally there is this bait in front of you, why do you want to go far and near?"
"Xiao Gongzi is saying that he will use Aseda as bait to lure King Zhong to take the bait?"
"Exactly!" Xiao Beichen looked at the night outside the window, looked at the peach blossoms in the courtyard, and then slowly spoke: "Prince, since the Flower Luck Festival is coming, how can there be no flowers at that time?" ”
"Flowers?"
"Yes, I know that although the poison art of the Persian State is powerful, the antidote is not a problem, since we already know the enemy's bargaining chips, then we will do our best, instead of continuing to fight the delaying war, it is better to take this opportunity to lure out King Zhong."
"Okay, I understand what Xiao Gongzi means, don't worry, I'll send someone down to make arrangements, this time, I want to see how King Zhong still quibbles!"
.........
After the people left, Song Wan looked at Xiao Beichen with a confident face, and reminded loudly: "Don't be too happy, now Yuwen Ying has not been found, this talent is the biggest hidden danger." ”
"Found it."
"What?"
Seeing his puzzled expression, Xiao Beichen smiled and explained: "Wanwan forgot, Gangyu Wen Sutuo said that Lord Wang has been in and out of the palace frequently recently. ”
"It's weird, but what does it have to do with Yuwen Sakura?"
"Hehe, according to the grapevine, this person loves the princess of Persia very much, and in order to get her, he did not hesitate to use all means, and it is not surprising that such an crazy person, for the sake of a little selfish desire in his heart, thus agreed to some requests from King Zhong."
"What?" Hearing this, Song Wan raised her head in surprise, and said in disbelief: "If Yuwen Ying is in King Zhong's Mansion now, wouldn't it?"
"Maybe, but it's all her own fault, she can't blame others, if she doesn't have a harmless heart, how can she let others take advantage of the loophole!"
Yes, but she really didn't expect that after Yuwen Ying suffered such a big loss at the hands of King Zhong, she would be able to join forces with him in the previous life and raise troops to force the palace, no wonder even Ji Qinian, who has always been cunning, praised her for the depth of her city, but she is really a vicious character!
