When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured, and when two strong men meet, there will be a flash of swords and flashes of lightning. But if a person does not know kung fu and can only use a bow and arrow, then this strong man is not considered a strong man.
Yuan Shao's sword was already on Yuan Sheng's shoulder the moment the two people looked at each other. With his ability, he could kill Yuan Sheng with a slight turn.
"Does King Runan want to take my head?"
Yuan Sheng remained motionless, still holding the old bow in his hand. He put down the medical book in his hand and shouted in a deep voice, giving off a sense of awe and domineering that he had gradually developed.
But Yuan Shao stood under the shadow of the lamp and didn't say any nonsense: "Your Majesty, I didn't intend to antagonize you when I came here recently. I just need the snow lotus seeds to save my life, and I also hope that the emperor can open the medicine pavilion to get the medicine. Get it.
After taking the medicine, Wei Chen will leave on his own."
Yuan Shao's thin-lipped voice carried a cold sense of nobility, and his not-strong aura was superior to Yuan Sheng's domineering power. A person who has been in a high position for a long time and a person who has gained power for the first time, in this world,
You can tell the difference between words and deeds.
Yuan Sheng clenched his fists, and the candle flame swayed uncontrollably due to the wind blowing in from the door, making the two people's faces dark and unclear. Yuan Sheng stood up, not afraid of Yuan Shao's sword edge at all, and looked at him
Shengxue, who was dressed in white and looked so gorgeous, couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic smile.
"Don't you know, King Runan, that the Snow Lotus Seed is Ouchi's treasure, a life-saving thing left to me. I can understand that King Runan wants to use it to save people, but I will not hand over the Snow Lotus Seed to you willingly.
So there are two choices here, either you kill me and open the medicine pavilion yourself; or you kneel down and surrender to me, and I will give you what you want. What do you think, the prince?"
He was originally the one being threatened, but Yuan Sheng instantly reversed the situation, looking at Yuan Shao with a pair of eyes and a sneer on his lips.
He didn't know who Yuan Shao wanted to save, but now that he was here, he wanted to see how long Yuan Shao could be patient.
Yuan Shao once said that he was not interested in power, but since he was not interested, he still had so much power in his hands to do anything, so Yuan Sheng did not believe in Yuan Shao, so how could he let him get his wish so easily? It was also cold.
Yuan Sheng understood that there were not many people who could let Yuan Shao break into the palace so boldly, and since he broke in, it meant that that person was very important to him.
Since it is important, Yuan Shao will be eager to get the antidote. The antidote in the Tibetan Medicine Pavilion seems to be right in front of him. As long as Yuan Shao kills him, he can get the key to open the medicine box. Unfortunately, if he gets the wrong key, he will
The mechanism of the imperial pharmacy will be activated to trap the person who stole the medicine. Even if the person has great abilities, he will not be able to escape before the guards outside the door rush in. Only people within the royal family know about this, and the only one who knows
Which key should be used? The only one who can use it now is Yuan Sheng. That's why Yuan Shao didn't stop him from the beginning, but chose to come in and negotiate terms.
How could Yuan Sheng let go of such a good opportunity to ask Yuan Shao to work for him? The fact that this person could expect that he was in the imperial pharmacy at this time and come to ask for medicine alone showed that he was aware of his whereabouts in the palace.
I understand very well. It would be bad if such a powerful person were an enemy.
Yuan Sheng's words came to this point, and the meaning in those words was self-evident. Yuan Shao's body trembled, and the man who had never been threatened by others clenched his fists, his phoenix eyes were cold, and he looked at it with a sneer.
Yuan Sheng suddenly chuckled.
"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to do this?"
Yuan Shao remained the same cold and noble person, his expression returned to its usual coolness, but there was an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth.
Yuan Sheng was startled by the cool voice. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he was unmoved at all. He looked at Yuan Shao and squinted his eyes, saying: "I never need to regret my actions. If King Runan has something to say, you may as well speak up.
Say! If you have nothing to say, please take this Linglong powder. I will give you an antidote within half a year, but the premise is that you, King of Runan, can serve me. But don't worry, I won't embarrass you too much.
, after all, it is not easy for a high-ranking prince to surrender to others. It will not be your turn to do things like cows and horses."
They are born from the same roots, so there is no need to worry about each other. Two brothers, but they talk like feuds. They don't think there is anything wrong. It's just that one wants to trample the other under his feet, and the other wants to get something from the other.
What.
Yuan Shao seemed satisfied with this answer. He watched Yuan Sheng take out a key from a brocade bag in his arms and took out the secret medicine of the Daxia royal family - Linglong Powder used to train dead soldiers. The smile at the corner of his mouth deepened.
The phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
Linglong Powder is a medicine developed by the founding emperor Yuan Lingfeng in order to control the legacy of the former dynasty. It will not have any impact on people after taking it. However, once the attack time comes and the antidote is not taken, the liver and intestines will be broken and die.
,.If this is the case, it is not terrible. The terrible thing about Linglongsan is that if there is no antidote, the person who suffers from the attack will go crazy. After the madness, he will have hallucinations and kill the people he loves most as a feud.
Death, waiting for the pain to hit you while you are conscious will make you miserable.
Therefore, no one dares to disobey orders once they take Linglong Powder. And this secret medicine of Daxia can only be obtained by emperors who have inherited the throne from the hands of a dead man. No one else has ever seen this thing, let alone such a thing.
The antidote to things.
Such poison, Yuan Shao never thought that one day it would be used against him.
But seeing the tears of the candle falling, the candle had burned for a long time. Yuan Shao knew that Liu Miao'er couldn't wait long, so he didn't need to think about the future at all. He took the Linglong powder and poured it into the tea to drink it, but
Before drinking, Yuan Shao suddenly thought of something and stopped all his movements.
"Your Majesty, Weichen drank this medicine for the sake of Weichen's princess, and I hope you will not break your promise. The princess has been poisoned by snakes and scorpions and is in danger, and she is still waiting for Weichen to go back and save her life."
After saying that, Yuan Shao drank the Linglong Powder. Yuan Sheng's face changed drastically and he stretched out his hand to stop him, but it was too late. Yuan Shao swallowed the Linglong Powder and turned the tea cup upside down. Not a drop of tea was left in the cup.
"Why!"
Yuan Sheng was angry and stared at Yuan Shao furiously.
"Why not? Because the princess is the person that the king cares about the most. The emperor must know very well who the emperor, the wife of the Lin Mansion and the young master of the Lin Mansion are. Although Wei Chen was not able to enter the Lin Mansion to check, the princess and Wei Chen will not
The fate was broken because of the emperor's intervention. Your Majesty, you have been in power for too short a time, and you don't have the ability to hide the truth for the time being. I don't mind doing things for Daxia for you, because you may still have a very important person in Miao'er's heart.
Position. But Weichen is greedy. One month is enough in Miao'er's heart, so the emperor must not get involved again. If Miao'er learns about today's events, the emperor will have no chance. So
Now Wei Chen's chances are much greater, but it's just a drink of Linglong Powder, it's nothing!"
After saying that, Yuan Shao smiled softly, put away his sword and signaled Yuan Sheng to get the snow lotus seeds.
Yuan Sheng's expression changed several times when Yuan Shao spoke, but he finally calmed down and said with a smile: "King Runan is really kind. Don't you know who your princess is?"
This sentence made the smile on Yuan Shao's face deepen, but Yuan Shao didn't care much about Yuan Sheng's "well-intentioned concerns": "Your Majesty, I have my own reasons for doing this. Who else can my princess be? She
It can only be my princess!"
Such a decisive sentence made Yuan Sheng's palms clenched tightly.
"In this case, I would like to see how you and your princess get together. If the prince wants to know the best answer, I really suggest you go to Ruyi Building. It will be a good place there." A sneer appeared on his face.
Come on, Yuan Sheng didn't say anything more. He turned his back to Yuan Shao and took out a key to open the medicine pavilion. He took out the snow lotus seeds and placed them in front of Yuan Shao.
"I don't want to get involved in the affairs of King Runan and Princess Runan. The beauty is like a flower, and King Runan must cherish it. King Runan must know very well what to do after drinking Linglong Powder."
Yuan Sheng's voice was cold, and he didn't seem to care, but he put his hands behind his back to suppress the trembling in his palms. Yuan Shao's thoughts came back from Yuan Sheng's words just now, he got the snow lotus seeds, checked and found that they were genuine, and he suddenly smiled,
He left in a hurry without stopping at all, and seemed to ignore Yuan Sheng's words.
The white clothes were fluttering, and the white figure disappeared behind the snowy curtain. Yuan Sheng watched the people leave, and hurriedly came out of the imperial pharmacy. He held his own bow and summoned his followers. He left the palace and went straight to Lin Mansion.
I went there and saw Xiaoshuang and Xiaoxue kneeling on the ground inside the house.
"Where's the madam!"
Yuan Sheng roared in a low voice, furious like a bloodthirsty beast.
Xiaoshuang and Xiaoxue trembled, but they could only bow their heads to the cold ground and said in a trembling voice: "Master, the lady is missing."
The lady is missing!
This short sentence verified Yuan Shao's words. Just as Yuan Shao said, the person who was poisoned was Liu Miao'er.
Yuan Sheng turned pale and staggered back a few steps. He turned away from everyone with a cold face and entered the Plum Garden alone.
The flowers in the plum garden had begun to wither, and petals fell on the snow, disappearing in an instant. Yuan Sheng stood in the plum forest, looking at the white color, thinking of Yuan Shao's white clothes, and his eyes suddenly sank.
, punched a tree nearby, causing the fallen plum blossoms to rustle down.
His eyes were a little moist. He remembered that when the snowflakes were flying that day, he came here with the cute and innocent person who had inhaled the soothing fragrance to bring Yuan Shao here to implement his plan. But he saw that she was still restless in her dream.
, hugged his arms and rubbed his face, and murmured the word "Xiao Leng".
Because of these two words, he changed his mind. He carried her back to the yard and slept with her all night. Then he was shocked to find that from the very beginning, the woman with the smiling eyebrows and crooked eyes had been engraved in his heart.
His frozen heart could no longer be erased.
So he stopped all plans, but he didn't want the development of things to be unexpected. He must have made it too obvious for Yuan Shao to see what was in his heart. So this time, Yuan Shao took action, using freedom and power in exchange for
He stayed with that woman his whole life.
does it worth?
Haha, if it were him, he would feel it's not worth it, but if one day a woman hugs him with a smile and asks him to give up his imperial power for her, what will he do?
The answer was clear to him, but what's the use of talking about it now. He took a deep breath and let the past be buried in the snow with the fallen plum blossoms, and then turned around with a distant and profound gaze.
If you can't be a happy person, then it's not bad to be a powerful person. As for that woman, he just treats her as just a chess piece, that's fine!
After burying everything, Yuan Sheng suddenly saw the direction ahead. He wanted to hold the position of the Nine-Fifth Master firmly in his hands. The target was clear, and Yuan Sheng took advantage of the snow to leave. In the misty snow, the marten with the brocade hat
Qiu's back showed an increasingly mature tenacity and dominance, but also revealed a touch of loneliness and desolation.
This night, the night in the Lin Mansion was dark, but the Jinyuan of the Runan Prince's Mansion was brightly lit. Chen Linlang stood outside the Jinyuan and watched the Jinyuan in the snow suddenly emit a warm light. She clenched her fists and dug her nails into her flesh.
Full of hatred.
"Concubine, if what I know is correct, Yuan Shao has brought Liu Miao'er back. The young prince has also returned. Concubine, I am afraid that the prince is not in the mood to enjoy the deer antler soup you made."
The concubine's words still rang in her ears. Chen Linlang, who was holding the deer antler soup, immediately stood in the white snow. Seeing the concubine walking away, seeing the warm yellow candlelight in Jinyuan, she felt overwhelming hatred in her heart.
She happily stewed deer antler soup and brought it to her, but unexpectedly she saw this scene.
Liu Miaoer, you are really back!
Why are you coming back! Why are you not dead! Do you think that Yuan Shao and Runan Palace will be yours when you come back? Haha... It's just a dream!
You should disappear, you should disappear forever!
The sound of "crash" was the sound of the soup cup breaking.
