Chapter 417: Easy as Pie
At this time, Gongyu Sayan wanted to cut off Zheng Yong's dirty hand immediately, but when he thought of his current situation, he had to hold back the disgust in his heart, and pretended to continue to deal with the old eunuch as if nothing happened.
He could be completely sure that Zheng Yong was definitely coming for the cold ice this time.
However, since it was not possible to find out his true intentions from the mouth of this cunning old eunuch for the time being, Gong Yu Sassa decided to continue to focus on the sensitive topic of cold ice and say more words to this father-in-law who seemed to know everything.
"By the way, father-in-law, the child still has something to say, and I want to ask you for advice.
Today, after seeing the martial arts path that Han Bing has revealed, my master, the Dujiao Master, has already asserted that Han Bing must be from the Yin Clan, and he is another parting arrow after Ling Qiyu.
But what the child couldn't understand was that if Han Bing was really a hermit, why would he be safe and sound after drinking three cups of poisonous wine mixed with Heavenly Poison in succession?"
I don't know when, Zheng Yong's restless hand has been quietly withdrawn from Gongyu Yanyan's body.
And his people had already stood up from Gong Yu's bedside and began to pace back and forth in the room with their hands behind their backs.
As soon as Gongyu's words fell, Zheng Yong also stopped, turned around, and said, "Yan'er, you asked well! In fact, this matter has always been in the heart of my father-in-law, but I have never been able to figure out the truth.
On that day, the emperor gave poisoned wine, and Zhu Mo, the commander of the guards, personally supervised Han Bing to drink it. I also suspected that Zhu Mo might have been bribed by the Leng family and his son to deceive the emperor in this matter.
However, for this reason, I have made a special inquiry in detail about the Ouchi secret agents who were also hidden in the emblem garden at that time, and were only in charge of monitoring from a distance. And they all said in unison, saying that they had indeed seen with their own eyes that Han Bing and Zhu Mo had drunk poisonous wine at the same time.
But after Zhu Mo left Huiyuan, they didn't dare to stay in the vicinity anymore, for fear of being discovered by Han Bing. Therefore, they did not know the true situation of Han Bing after drinking the poisoned wine.
However, I did see with my own eyes that the scene of Zhu Mo vomiting blood on the spot outside the Cuihan Pavilion was definitely not deliberately pretended.
Therefore, there is no doubt that Han Bing drank poisoned wine. But from this it is concluded that he is not a hermit, which may indeed be arbitrary. β
"But the Heavenly Poison is the first strange poison in the world, and even the arrow god Ling Tian is not immune. How was Han Bing able to escape this catastrophe and deceive everyone because of this?" Gong Yu asked with a frown of puzzled faces.
"Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing. Since there is poison, there will be an antidote. Perhaps it was because Han Bing had obtained the antidote to the Heavenly Poison in advance that he dared to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion alone, and drank the poisonous wine in front of Zhu Mo.
Otherwise, if he is not sure that he can resist the poison, he will eventually be poisoned and killed on the spot. Then his self-defeating approach can be said to be meaningless. And with the cunning of the cold ice, how could he do such a stupid thing?"
Listening to Zheng Yong's explanation, Gong Yu suddenly opened his mind, "My father-in-law's words are indeed reasonable! Maybe we have all ignored one person, the flower doctor." β
"No, it's not the Flower Doctor, it's the Flower Xiangjun!"
Zheng Yong shook his head, and his tone was extremely affirmative, "I have specially sent someone to check, this Xiangjun girl turns out to be a master of detoxification." β
"No wonder!"
Gongyu suddenly sighed, and then couldn't help but continue to ask curiously, "Father-in-law, why are you so interested in this Xiangjun girl?"
"Not only me, but you should also be interested in this extraordinary woman who is about to become the Empress of Rongguo! Otherwise, how can you really understand what your own Emperor Majesty is thinking?"
Before saying these words to Zheng Yong, Gongyu Sayan had already dressed and got out of bed.
Then, he made a respectful appearance and stood solemnly beside Zheng Yong.
Hearing Zheng Yong's reminder at this moment, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, child, father-in-law for mentioning it! There will never be such negligence in the future!"
Zheng Yong patted him lightly on the shoulder again, and said with a smile: "After talking for so long, Yan'er, you haven't told your father-in-law yet, you are in a hurry to send someone to Yuguo to find me, what is the matter?"
Gongyu suddenly remembered that he had really forgotten the original purpose, and was completely confused by Zheng Yong's sudden appearance.
Now that he was asked by the old eunuch, he hurriedly smiled and replied respectfully: "What the father-in-law reminds us is that the child has an extremely important matter this time, and I hope that the father-in-law can help him." β
"An extremely important thingβ"
Zheng Yong narrowed his eyes and said noncommittally, "Then let's hear it!"
"The child plans to assassinate Emperor Yu Leng Yiqing!"
An unpredictable light flashed quickly from Zheng Yong's cunning little eyes, "This matter is not so easy-"
"It is precisely because it is not easy that the child will beg for each other, and ask the stepfather to help!"
Listening to Gongyu Sayan's tone of voice was extremely sincere, Zheng Yong was secretly surprised, but also realized that this kid was definitely serious.
He couldn't help but roll his little eyes, suddenly sighed lightly, and said, "My father-in-law is no longer the head of the inner house, but more like a lost dog, constantly being chased and killed. How can you think that I have the ability to help you assassinate Leng Yiqing?"
Hearing him say this, Gong Yu Sayan did not rush to answer, but stepped forward to help the old eunuch sit in a comfortable soft chair beside him.
Then, he stood aside, with a flattering smile on his face, and said respectfully: "How can the child not know that you have always had hands and eyes in the sky, father-in-law! Even everything I am doing in Darong now cannot escape the eyes of my father-in-law, and what of those things that happened in Yuguo is not under your control?"
"Hmm-"
Zheng Yong nodded with great satisfaction, but he didn't let go easily, "At present, I do have some available manpower in my hands. It's just that the help you need is a bit difficult to deal with in the palace.
You also know that in the palace today, it is no longer the former Emperor and His Majesty. Naturally, most of the people waiting beside the new emperor are no longer the palace people from the past. β
Gong Yu Sa Yan listened, his smile still did not change, and he continued to beg with some coaxing: "Leng Yiqing has not been sitting on the emperor's throne for a long time, and he should not have a full grasp of the situation in the palace.
He should not have had time to investigate and replace all the palace people left in the previous dynasty one by one. If the child guesses correctly, among those palace people, there must still be the eyeliner left by the father-in-law, right?"
Zheng Yong couldn't help but smile, leaned back in the soft chair very comfortably, nodded slightly, and said: "Sure enough, it is a son who can be taught! Yan'er is now thoughtful and accurate, and it is indeed in vain the hard work that your father-in-law spent on you!"
"Thank you, child, father-in-law for the compliment!"
Gongyu Sayan hurriedly replied flatteredly, and then hit the snake with the stick, and continued to ask, "In this way, the child is indeed right, the father-in-law still has someone available in the palace of Yuguo." But I wonder how that person might be able to help?"
"Busyβ"
Zheng Yong pretended to be reserved and groaned for a while, before nodding again: "If this person is willing to make a move, assassinating Leng Yiqing is definitely as easy as a snap!"
