"In my humble opinion, Your Majesty, you can take some time to figure it out. The prince was poisoned and the queen was greatly stimulated. She became depressed and seriously ill, and she died in less than half a month."
Qiao Jinhuan whispered.
The emperor thought about it in his mind, and then said happily, "You are right."
Isn't this just asking him to use slow poison to kill the queen bit by bit?
I've been waiting for more than ten years, so it doesn't matter if I wait another half month.
"I'll leave this matter to you."
"yes."
Qiao Jinhuan's eyes flashed slightly. Seeing that the emperor had nothing else to say, she bowed and walked out in a polite manner.
In the hazy night, a black shadow danced silently in the palace, disappeared after entering the cold palace.
There is no one in the cold palace, the wind is blowing "whirring", there are dead grass and dead trees, yellow leaves and broken branches, broken walls and spider webs everywhere, and the swaying shadows on the walls are like ghosts, which makes people feel frightened.
Qiao Jinhuan arrived at a palace by a familiar route, turned the secret door and went down. After passing through the flickering passage, he entered the underground palace.
This is where the emperor trained his secret guards.
"Stop, who... Lord Yueyou."
The two men in black robes guarding the door immediately lowered their heads and shouted.
Qiao Jinhuan ignored it and walked straight in.
The original owner's status here is really not low.
The dead soldiers trained by the emperor are divided into four divisions, named after shadow, darkness, moon, and star. The shadow division is responsible for protection, the dark division is for killing, the moon division is for intelligence, and the star division is for torture, training, and logistics.
The original owner was the leader of the Yue Department.
She walked in with a calm look and went straight to the residence of Shadow, the boss of the film department.
"Huh? She's looking for me?"
Shadow was a little surprised, but then he still received Qiao Jinhuan, "Is there any new news?"
"The prince is dead."
Qiao Jinhuan was sensitive to the fact that there were people in the room. He raised his hand and said, "Get out, I want to talk to your boss about something."
After the shadow nodded, several people in the room suddenly came out and disappeared like a gust of wind.
"Whether the prince dies or not, what does our shadow department have to do with it? If you want to kill people, you should go to the ANBU." Shadow said calmly.
"Antidote."
"What?"
"The soul-eating antidote."
Shadow was confused. He frowned at Qiao Jinhuan and asked in a serious tone: "What are you talking about?"
"I said, I have the antidote for soul-eating in our bodies." Qiao Jinhuan raised the corners of his lips with a relaxed and content attitude.
In an instant, Shadow believed her.
But the antidote~
Antidote!
Shadow's heart surged with emotions, and his eyes gradually turned a trace of blood red. He squeezed tightly with a pair of calloused hands, and took a deep breath for a long time, "What do you mean?"
"The emperor is fatuous, and the other princes are not wise masters..."
"You want to rebel?"
Shadow asked with a dumb voice in disbelief.
"Just tell me whether you want to do it or not?" Qiao Jinhuan said.
Who dares to do this?
Shadow shook his head repeatedly. Even if he wanted an antidote, he would not dare to do such a thing. What's more, what could he and Yue You accomplish?
The failure rate is too high!
Qiao Jinhuan sneered, "You're a coward without courage."
"Am I scared? Yueyou, you are seeking death, I will not accompany you. I will pretend that I have never heard of what happened today..."
"Prince."
Qiao Jinhuan said calmly.
Seeing the shadow's gaze, she continued, "The prince is just faking his death. We will help the prince usurp the throne. After this is accomplished, everyone will be able to escape from this underground prison and no longer be controlled by poison."
"At that time, both life and freedom are in our own hands."
"Shadow, do you still want to live like this? Hidden in the dark forever and never see the light, with no descendants, dead but a pile of bones, not even your own name, only covered with bloody dirt that cannot be washed away. The lights of thousands of houses,
None of them belong to me."
"I've had enough of this kind of life!"
She lowered her voice, her eyes were red, and she raised her hand and pointed outside with a somewhat crazy look, "Do you know how good it is to live under the sun every day? Playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops, flowers, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, these are normal people
life.”
"Shadow, make a bet with me."
Qiao Jinhuan looked over with burning eyes, and Shadow swallowed his throat. His eyes were full of impulsiveness and entanglement, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Shadow, are you so clueless?" Qiao Jinhuan said with a hint of contempt.
Shadow was so stimulated that he immediately wanted to retort, but after a few seconds he managed to hold his own, "These are all false. Let me ask you, is there really an antidote?"
"Yes, we are configuring it and will give it to you tomorrow."
"The prince is not dead?"
"No, I'm in contact with King Zhen'an."
King Zhenan~
Shadow rubbed his fingertips slightly. With his hundreds of thousands of troops here, rebellion shouldn't be a big problem. But the problem is...
Shadow raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Jinhuan, "What is your and the prince's plan? I want to know everything."
"The emperor summoned two Taoist priests today. Do you know about this?"
The shadow nodded slightly, "Those two Taoist priests claimed to be disciples of immortals, and the golden elixir they refined could make people immortal. The emperor was overjoyed when he heard about it and swallowed the golden elixir... Are they the prince's people?"
"no."
Qiao Jinhuan shook his head slightly, "But the golden elixir is poisonous."
Shadow was stunned, "No, the emperor took a golden elixir today!"
"That's a good thing."
Shadow: ...It seems that it is indeed a good thing for them. But betraying the master...
Shadow pursed his lips, still having trouble making a decision.
"Shadow, you are too stubborn," Qiao Jinhuan raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "I came to you to save your life, but those two guys An and Xing have already agreed."
"impossible!"
Shadow blurted out.
Qiao Jinhuan curled her lips and smiled confidently, "The ANBU people will go to assassinate the emperor tomorrow night. You just need to play along and let them go."
Shadow frowned.
"It's a bit troublesome to explain this matter, just listen to me. Otherwise, I don't want to leave a danger around." Qiao Jinhuan's voice suddenly turned cold.
On one side is death, on the other side is freedom and normal life...
Shadow closed his eyes, pondered for a few seconds and then nodded, "Okay, I promise you."
What's more, stubborn people like An Hexing have already taken refuge in the prince. It would be normal for him to take refuge in him again, right~
Qiao Jinhuan's eyebrows moved slightly, "The emperor is suspicious and will definitely question you tomorrow. Just tell him that I am here to tell you that the prince's people may counterattack tomorrow night, and I will ask you to increase your protection."
"good."
Shadow nodded, "What about the antidote?"
"I'll give it to you tomorrow. Remember not to go to Xing after detoxification. The antidote is difficult to obtain. I haven't given it to him yet, but I gave it to you first. Xing is very narrow-minded, but he will target you."
Qiao Jinhuan said with a hint of playfulness.
Shadow was silent for two seconds, "I got it."
Qiao Jinhuan slowly stood up, patted his sleeves and walked out.
The two leaders An and Xing, one a diehard and the other a pervert, are not as easy to convince as Shadow.
No matter what, just lie to someone first and then talk about it.
