Chapter 162: Coercion
In November of the first year of Yongning, Kyoto in the country of Ningyue seemed to be unquiet, and the air was filled with a sense of mountain rain coming.
The people were panicked, the courtiers were uneasy, and many people held a wait-and-see attitude, looking at the battle between the current saint and King Yi without gunpowder, who won and who lost, and who died.
After all, throughout the ages, there have been countless mutinies that have been successfully suppressed, and there are also countless people who have successfully launched a rebellion at the last minute. Therefore, before the matter has a complete result, no one is sure that the person who finally sits on the Ning Yue River is Xiao Ling or Xiao Yi.
"Emperor Qiqi, he led people to raid King Yi's mansion, and found that there were only some inconsequential maids in the mansion, and none of the girls who followed Princess Yi in Su Rili were nowhere to be found. After Zhang Jing raided King Yi's mansion, he entered the palace to report to Xiao Ling.
"What did you say, it's all gone?" Xiao Ling was shocked when he heard this, and shouted angrily.
His holy decrees came very quickly, and even Qin Xi and Zhang Jing were a little surprised when they heard the holy decrees, but how could King Yi's Mansion not even find a person who was important to Mu Qingchen? Unless, Mu Qingchen had already prepared, that is to say, all this was expected by Mu Qingchen.
"Emperor Qiqi, except for those weapons and letters between King Yi and the leaders of the previous rebellion in Beijun, nothing was found in the palace, and everything was clean. Zhang Jing continued.
"The people of the Yi Wangfu will be assigned to the frontier and set off immediately, and there must be no mistakes. Xiao Ling said coldly, then got up and headed towards the Fengzao Palace.
At that time, Qingchen was cooking tea in the Fengzao Palace, and when he saw Xiao Ling coming, he didn't get up to salute, and he didn't even mean to speak.
Since Xiao Yi was arrested, the atmosphere in the entire palace has changed suddenly.
Xiao Ling imprisoned Xiao Yi in an abandoned palace on the west side of the palace, the entire palace was heavily guarded inside and out, and there were ambushes and archers around him, who would be shot at the slightest movement;
And Feng Xiran was still locked up in the prison near the east of the palace, quietly waiting for the opportunity to go out in that place where the sun did not see the light of day.
Xiao Ling deliberately guarded Xiao Yi and Feng Xiran separately, just to prevent Mu Qingchen from rescuing the two of them at once, and now no matter which one Mu Qingchen wants to save first, he has to see if he has the ability to rescue the other.
The forbidden army in the palace is divided into eight batches for twelve hours a day, and every three hours, the abandoned palace and the heavenly prison are each replaced, ensuring that there are people guarding Xiao Yi and Feng Xiran at any time, in addition to the forbidden army, the guards are also patrolling back and forth in all weak places in the palace to ensure that no one will take the opportunity to break in.
"The princess is so interested, King Yi is in prison, and the princess still has the leisure to cook tea here?" Xiao Ling walked in from outside the Fengzao Palace, followed by Qin Xi, holding a tray in his hand with a bowl on it.
"What are you doing here without interrogating the so-called traitors and traitors? Don't you know that once the tea is contaminated with filthy gas, the taste changes. Qingchen didn't pretend to say this, but he was scolding Xiao Ling for having a filthy smell in a roundabout way.
"Mu Qingchen, don't take my tolerance as connivance, if it weren't for the fact that you are a little similar to Allure, I would have killed you a long time ago. Xiao Ling listened to Qingchen's words, and said with a burst of anger.
"So, should I thank you, or should I thank Ye Tingcheng? Or, should I thank you for still having such a little position in Ye Tingcheng in your heart?" Qingchen smiled sarcastically, and there was disdain in his eyes.
People who have been betrayed once will never be stupid enough to believe the second time no matter what, so no matter how much status and importance Ye Lingcheng has in Xiao Ling's heart, no matter how much preferential treatment she has received now because she looks like Ye Tingcheng in some aspects, in her heart, the hatred for Xiao Ling will never be eliminated.
Because between them, it is not just a simple betrayal, but also involves the injustice of a family, life and death.
"You think I can't cure you if you're like this? Xiao Ling said, turned around and took the bowl from the tray in Qin Xi's hand and put it in front of Qingchen.
Qingchen saw that there was a bowl of black medicinal juice inside, with her previous study of pharmacology, she knew that this bowl of medicine was filled with moon wild flowers, mixed with incense and drunk, the two medicines together, it would become highly poisonous, ordinary people would be killed immediately, and those who knew martial arts could be suppressed with internal force, but they would lose internal force little by little, until the true qi was exhausted.
She immediately understood Xiao Ling's idea, and wanted to control her in this way, so that she had no extra strength to do anything else, so that she could only stay in the palace and be at Xiao Ling's mercy.
"Why should I drink it?" Qingchen asked in a cold voice.
"You can choose not to drink it, but from today onwards, in every meal of Xiao Yi, I will let people put violet. Xiao Ling smiled, and he didn't reluctantly clean the dust, but said lightly.
As soon as Qingchen heard the word Ziluo, he immediately looked at Xiao Ling with wide eyes, and spit out two words in his mouth: "Despicable!"
She had long known that Xiao Yi had been hit by an unknown strange poison, and it had been accumulated in her body many years ago, and she relied on internal force to suppress it on weekdays, but she was fine, but once she encountered the herb Ziluo, she would immediately be poisoned, and she would be in pain.
The last time at the altar, Xiao Yi was poisoned after being hit by Ziluo, and immediately vomited blood, which was menacing, and Qingchen was frightened and worried. If Xiao Ling is really allowed to eat purple Luo in the meal every day, after such a toss, Xiao Yi will be poisoned every day, even if he does not die, half his life should be gone.
"If I wasn't despicable, how could I have today's status? In a word, do you drink or not?" Xiao Ling pushed the bowl on the table towards Qingchen a little, squinting his eyes and asking.
"Xiao Ling, I know I can't trust your words, but now I have no choice, you'd better keep your promise and don't touch Xiao Yi, otherwise, I will definitely make you regret it. After Qingchen finished speaking, he picked up the bowl on the table and drank all the medicinal juice inside, but with a bang, he put the bowl in front of Xiao Ling.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling smiled slowly, asked Qin Xi to clean up the bowl on the table, and then turned around and left without saying anything.
If Mu Qingchen thought that he would really keep his promise like this, it would be wrong, he promised her to treat Feng Xiran's injuries before, just to get the news from her, and now that Xiao Yi has also been arrested, the news in Mu Qingchen's mouth has no use value, so he doesn't have to be afraid that Mu Qingchen will turn his face and not recognize people.
After Xiao Ling left, Qingchen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, holding on to the table, almost unsteady on his feet.
"Princess, are you okay?" Seeing this, Huaying hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to help Qingchen, but was waved away by Qingchen's palm.
"At the beginning, I asked you to join the secret guard training just to give you a place to settle down, but now, the simple woman who felt guilty for killing someone, and Li Yawen, who wanted to become strong and protect herself, has completely become a lackey who obeys orders. Qingchen said, his cold gaze swept over Flower Shadow's face, and then turned around and walked towards the inner hall.
Yueyehua and Ning Xiang Drunk were not fatal to her, because she had originally taken the Nine Beads Chain, which had the effect of suppressing the toxicity, and she had deep internal strength, which could force the poison out of her body, but it was just to lose part of her internal strength.
Qingchen ignored the flower shadow outside, sat cross-legged on the bed in the dormitory by herself, ran her internal breath for twelve weeks, endured the pain in her chest, and spit out all the medicinal juice she had just drunk, and those remaining parts also forced her out with internal force.
After doing all this, Qingchen closed her eyes to breathe, and she didn't know how long it took, when she felt that her internal breath was slowly stabilizing and the pain in her chest gradually subsided, she slowly opened her eyes.
There was already a thin layer of fine sweat on her forehead, but it was just the moon wildflower and Ning Xiang getting drunk, which had already made her body extremely tired, and she couldn't even imagine how much perseverance Xiao Yi needed to suppress the surging poison in her body every time she was poisoned.
Thinking of Xiao Yi, Qingchen frowned, except for one or two times, she really didn't see Xiao Yi's poisonous hair, the first time was when she was hit by Qiye Sumire, and the second time was when she was hit by Ziluo, but according to Huai Jin, the poison in Xiao Yi's body will definitely attack once in a while, so ...... In other words, no matter when Xiao Yi was poisoned, her face did not show the slightest abnormality, at least, she did not notice it once.
Xiao Ling will definitely not keep her promise, she drank that bowl of medicine, it was just a delaying tactic, in order to dispel Xiao Ling's doubts, but she is now trapped in Fengzao Palace, surrounded by Xiao Ling's eyeliner, how can she spread the news from the palace?
In fact, with Xiao Yi and her skills, before everyone in the Star Picking Tower prepares everything, they should still be able to hold on, but if they hold on like this, by the day of the incident, she and Xiao Yi's palace are almost lost, Feng Xiran was seriously injured again, Luo Jin, as a courtier, could not openly fight against Xiao Ling, and at that time, no one was Xiao Ling's opponent at all.
Therefore, no matter what, she had to find a way to spread the situation in the palace and let Ning Chen and them speed up their movements. As long as Ning Chen and Hou with different surnames cooperate properly, then when that day comes, Xiao Ling will be caught off guard and give him a fatal blow.
However, how can the news be delivered? Ye Xi must also be watched, so ......
Thinking of this, a figure flashed in Qingchen's mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, since Xiao Ling had arranged her by his side, if she didn't make good use of it, wouldn't she be sorry for Xiao Ling's hard work?
Secret guards? Very good, it was the person she trained single-handedly, she naturally knew where the weaknesses were, just like using the weaknesses of Du Xiangrui and Shen Bining, so did Huaying.
