Liu Lei's eyes turned, but he could not immediately give Lin Yunlong an accurate answer. He checked his pulse again in confusion, but the result he got was still the same as before.
Liu Lei stood up and took two steps back before kneeling on the ground. Lin Yunlong had already guessed the truth by looking at his reaction. Sighing slowly, Lin Yunlong asked in a low voice: "Is there any way?"
"Not sure yet. Your Majesty, it's your slave who deserves to die. He was negligent."
"It's useless to talk about all this now." Lin Yunlong closed his eyes to cover up the cold anger in his eyes. "It's just that you have checked everything I eat and drink every day? Why am I still poisoned?"
Lin Yunlong's doubts were exactly what annoyed Liu Lei.
"These people have really worked hard to murder the emperor." Liu Lei replied angrily: "If my servant guessed correctly, they should have broken down the poison and poured it into the emperor's food one by one.
A drug may not have toxins, but if it is fused with another drug in a short period of time, it will become a poison. According to what the slave sees, the person who poisoned the poison must be someone who is very familiar with poisons, and it should take a long time
Hiding in the palace, otherwise I wouldn’t have grasped the opportunity so well.”
Lin Yunlong chuckled twice, "The tiger hasn't left yet, and the monkey has already begun to dominate. As expected of my son, he is indeed brave."
Lin Yunlong's words were full of sarcasm, which made Liu Lei feel very uncomfortable after hearing it. Following Lin Yunlong along the way, what storms and waves have he not seen? But he didn't want to be tricked by the prince in the end.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely save you even if I risk my life." Liu Lei secretly clenched his fists. After seeing Lin Yunlong wave his hand silently, Liu Lei stood up with a look on his face.
He walked out of the room gloomily.
Standing outside the door, Liu Lei looked around. Maybe someone was secretly monitoring everything here. No matter what, he couldn't make the other party happy so quickly.
Xuanyuan Junfan risked his life and worked hard for several days, and finally achieved his goal. He left the palace gracefully and sent someone to send a message to Lin Yichen. Unexpectedly, Lin Yichen came over in person.
"It seems that the Crown Prince really cares about this matter." Xuanyuan Junfan said with a smile as he looked at Lin Yichen in front of him.
"My lord, are you sure you succeeded?" Lin Yichen was still a little worried.
"I never tell lies. Now that I have told you that I have succeeded, then I have succeeded. If the prince doesn't believe me, why did he bother to come to me for cooperation in the first place?"
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to disbelieve you."
"There is no need to say too much if you want to be polite. I have already prepared to go back to Qingming Kingdom. I don’t know when we will meet again next time. I hope the prince can sit in the seat he wants. The next time we talk, it will be
Such harmony.”
"It's a small thing, please accept it, Your Majesty." Lin Yichen did not insist on staying. It is not a bad thing for Xuanyuan Junfan to leave at this time.
"The prince's actions are really not that generous." Xuanyuan Junfan glanced at the things Lin Yichen gave him and said with emotion: "It seems that the treasury of the Xia Lai Kingdom is much richer than that of our Qingming Kingdom."
"Your Majesty is joking." Lin Yichen twitched the corner of his lips and asked with a smile, "Then what day do you plan to leave, Your Majesty?"
"Three days are enough for the prince to determine whether your money is worth it or not?"
How could Xuanyuan Junfan not understand Lin Yichen's thoughts? If he was not sure that Lin Yunlong was really poisoned, it would be impossible for him to let him go so easily.
Lin Yichen just nodded, turned around and left without saying anything else.
After Lin Yichen left, Xuanyuan Junfan smiled playfully. He called his men and told them to let a group of people leave the capital starting tonight.
"My lord, won't you leave?"
"Don't worry, I still have something important to do, so I can't leave so soon. Xia Lai Country will be in chaos for a while, and it won't be easy for us to evacuate at the same time. After arriving in Qicheng
Just wait for me there, I will catch up soon."
Qicheng is a town located at the border and is also the only place to go to Qingming Kingdom.
Now that Xuanyuan Junfan has decided to do this, he will not change his mind again. The servants who follow him all know his temperament and do not dare to say anything more. They can only follow his orders.
Lin Yunlong's pulse has become more and more confusing since Liu Lei discovered something was wrong, and his headaches have gradually worsened. Fortunately, Lin Yunlong is not a weak person, so he can still hold on for a while without letting anyone go.
He quickly discovered something was wrong with him.
After staying up all day, Lin Yunlong found Lin Yinan. Lin Yinan, who stood face to face with Lin Yunlong again, noticed Lin Yunlong's physical discomfort after just one glance.
"No matter how careful you are, your father still can't escape the poisonous hands of the prince?" Lin Yinan asked softly.
"Your eyes are so easy to use, I have to wonder whether it was the prince who poisoned you, or you." Lin Yunlong pursed his lips and said teasingly.
"How dare you, my son? I am still in the hands of my father. I keep this in mind day and night."
Even after discovering that Lin Yunlong was poisoned, Lin Yinan's attitude when talking to him was not much better. After all, he had been controlled by Lin Yunlong for so many years, and at the most critical moment, he threatened him with his fatal weakness.
"Start tomorrow and deal with Nangong Lingfeng's people."
"Okay." Lin Yinan knew that Lin Yunlong was talking about the group of people in Xuncheng. "Does the father have any other orders?"
After Lin Yunlong looked at Lin Yinan intently for a while, he slowly stood up, walked to Lin Yinan's side, and said, "Come play chess with me."
Lin Yinan turned sideways to look at Lin Yunlong's back. He really didn't expect Lin Yunlong to say such a sentence. From the time he could remember, he seemed to have only played chess with Lin Yunlong once...?
Following Lin Yunlong, the two sat on both sides of the table. Lin Yinan stared at the chess pieces on the chessboard, remembering the man who taught him how to play chess, raised his eyes to meet Lin Yunlong's gaze, and asked: "Is the old man still alive now?
"
"More energetic than me." Lin Yunlong smiled slightly, then focused all his attention on the chessboard, no longer looking at Lin Yinan.
Black and white chess pieces were placed on the chessboard one by one, just to push the opponent to a dead end.
A game of chess took nearly half an hour. In the end, Lin Yunlong took the initiative and gave up the game.
"You go back, I'm tired."
Lin Yinan glanced at Lin Yunlong in confusion, thought for a while, and left. Before leaving the palace, he met Lin Yichen, who seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.
"How are you, father?" Lin Yichen asked straight to the point.
"It looks like it's nothing serious. As for whether it's really okay or not, I don't know." Lin Yinan's answer was ambiguous, which made Lin Yichen's heart itch. "It's just that the prince must be careful. If you want to attack that person, you must be prepared to be counterattacked."
Be prepared. If you don’t win this time, you will really lose miserably, and even lose your life.”
"Thank you, Eighth Brother, for the warning. I will take this to heart."
Lin Yinan and Lin Yichen passed by each other and returned to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion. They summoned Chu Ziqian and others to their side, planning to arrive at Xun City in the dark to prepare for tomorrow's action.
"I heard that Prince Luo and Princess went to Xuncheng today?" Lin Yinan asked the people in front of him in a low voice.
"Yes, I went there, but I came back very quickly and didn't stay there long." Mu Ranchen replied immediately.
"It's important to go there, otherwise it wouldn't be worth it for these two people to go there at the same time." Lin Yinan thought of Lin Yunlong's order. Perhaps it was because of the actions of these two people that Lin Yunlong made up his mind to take action.
Mu Ranchen and others left first. At midnight, Lin Yinan got up and went out. He stood in the empty yard and took a deep breath before heading towards the city.
Lin Yinan and Xuanyuan Junfan were both surprised by the inadvertent encounter. They stopped and looked at each other. Xuanyuan Junfan walked to Lin Yinan and asked: "Why did the Eighth Prince come here in the middle of the night without sleeping?"
?”
"I also want to ask you, Your Majesty, are you here to do something for the Crown Prince?"
"The Eighth Prince is overthinking it. The deal between me and the Prince has been completed. I came here this time just for my own private matters."
"Private matter?" Lin Yinan was a little worried about Xia Han's safety, but couldn't say Xia Han's name.
"Yes, it's my own private matter." Xuanyuan Junfan looked Lin Yinan up and down and thought of Lu Zhiyao. "Eighth Prince, I have something I don't know whether I should say or not?"
Lin Yinan was silent, and Xuanyuan Junfan continued: "I don't think your face looks very good, and it doesn't seem to be caused by lack of rest. Do you want me to come and take a look at you?"
Lin Yinan's eyes flashed, and he changed the topic and asked him: "Is there an antidote to the poison you gave the emperor?"
"Yes, of course. As long as there is poison in this world, there will be medicine. But the Eighth Prince, you don't want to get the antidote from me, do you?"
As long as there is poison, will there be a medicine? Then why has there been no cure for the poison in my body after so many years?
Lin Yinan smiled jokingly and said, "Your Majesty, you think too much. I'm just asking casually."
Xuanyuan Junfan's smile deepened and he suddenly reached for Lin Yinan's wrist. Lin Yinan's expression changed and he immediately moved away. "What are you doing?"
"I just want to feel your pulse, why are you so nervous?" Xuanyuan Junfan persisted, and Lin Yinan gradually became a little angry with his insistence.
"I won't let go until I achieve my goal. When the Eighth Prince comes here at this time, he must have something important, so he's not afraid of being delayed because of me?" Xuanyuan Junfan said with a rogue smile, and contacted Lin Yinan
After so long, there is still no chance to understand his poisoning situation. One of the reasons why Xuanyuan Junfan stayed alone this time was also because of Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao.
Lin Yinan saw that Xuanyuan Junfan really didn't intend to let him go, and it was not the best idea to fight with him here. In desperation, he had no choice but to stretch out his arm and said coldly: "I can't tell, the dignified Qingming Kingdom
