Gongsun Ying worked much faster than Tang Ning expected. When Tang Ning saw her, she found that she was still wearing the same clothes she had before leaving. She had obviously not changed along the way. The clothes were very dirty and she looked dirty.
Tired and exhausted.
Judging by the time, she may have been running non-stop in various states these days without any delay, so that she could handle everything in such a short time and rush back to Runzhou.
He worked really hard for his master to prevent Prince Qian's rebellion from succeeding. Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "How is the situation?"
Gongsun Ying looked tired and said: "Many generals in Taizhou, Yuezhou, Jianzhou and other places have been controlled by them. I have helped them get rid of the poison. There is no need to worry anymore. How is the situation in Runzhou?"
Tang Ning said: "Everything is normal, you can take action at any time."
Gongsun Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Let me know when you take action..."
She said that and went back to her room to rest. For more than a day after that, Tang Ning didn't see her come out.
It seems that she still doesn't realize the fact that she is already a middle-aged woman and is no longer young. Such an overstretched body cannot be replenished in a day or two.
Giving her another day to rest should be enough. The Crown Prince of Guizhou plans to start an uprising in two days. It is said that he will hold a celebration banquet in advance tomorrow night. By then, the people of the Prince of Guizhou and his family will surely gather in the Xiao Mansion. It is a good idea to take action.
opportunity.
In the Xiao Mansion, Prince Qian was smiling, and he could not suppress the joy in his heart.
After tomorrow, Chen Guo's prosperous Jiangnan land will fall into his hands. How can he not be happy?
Everyone in the Xiao Mansion is preparing for the banquet in an hour. At that time, in addition to the four major families in Runzhou, some wealthy businessmen from Runzhou will also be present. These people will be his support after taking control of Jiangnan.
He looked at the old man behind him and asked, "Are you ready?"
The old man nodded and said: "The eggs have been placed in tonight's meal. After tonight, these people will be under our control..."
Prince Qian nodded and said: "Very good, interests cannot buy eternal loyalty, but Gu insects can. Only by holding their lives in our hands can we not be afraid of their disobedience!"
After saying that, he looked at the old man again and asked: "Where is the other thing I asked you to prepare?"
The old man took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, handed it to him, and said: "Also ready. Ordinary poison or poison is useless to her, and she will find it. This thing is colorless and tasteless, and she can't even notice it."
Even if you are proficient in the art of poisonous poison, you can't detect it..."
He paused and then said: "Your Highness, think twice. There is no cure for this poison. You will fall into coma soon after taking it. You will wake up after twelve hours. Even if you wake up, you will definitely not survive twelve hours..."
"Twelve hours is enough..." A cold look appeared on Prince Qian's face, he clenched the porcelain bottle tightly and said, "Bitch, you asked for this!"
…
In Runzhou, the Xiao Mansion is no weaker than the four major families. The Xiao Mansion's banquet was extremely grand and grand, and the attendees of the banquet were all well-known and wealthy businessmen in Runzhou.
Within the Xiao Mansion, dozens of tables were placed densely. Under the influence of the four major families, almost all the rich and powerful people in Runzhou were absent from tonight's banquet.
The table at the head is naturally the people with the highest status.
Including the current head of the Xiao family and the heads of the four major families, these are all people who stomp their feet and make Runzhou tremble. It is rare to see them on weekdays, but the eyes of everyone at the banquet are not on these people. Most of them are
Secretly looking at the young woman.
Some time ago, a peerless beauty appeared in Runzhou City, causing the streets of Runzhou to be deserted by thousands of people. They thought the rumors were exaggerated, but when they saw her today, they realized that the rumors were true.
Is there such an exquisite woman in the world? Her every move can attract their attention. People say that Xi Shi's smile makes thousands of people fall in love. This woman probably also belongs to the type that brings disaster to the country and the people, but she sits there quietly, with no trace of emotion on her face.
What a smile, no one has the chance to see this kind of scenery.
At the banquet at the front, Su Zhe raised his wine glass and toasted the Crown Prince of Guizhou, saying: "This glass is dedicated to the Crown Prince, and I wish the Crown Prince to successfully complete this important event..."
Prince Qian smiled and picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and said, "Let's all eat vegetables..."
After Prince Qian spoke, everyone moved their chopsticks. Su Mei glanced at the delicacies on the table, but did not pick up her chopsticks.
There was a hint of displeasure in Prince Qian's eyes. Even though he had broken up with Su Mei, he still had to pretend to be concerned at this time and asked: "Why, today's food is not to the girl's taste?"
Su Mei glanced at him and said, "I ate too much in the afternoon and I can't eat anymore. Your Majesty, don't worry about me."
Prince Qian's eyes moved back from her and did not continue the topic.
Naturally, the insect eggs in the food could not be hidden from her. If he persisted in this matter, it would most likely arouse everyone's suspicion.
With a smile on his face, he stood up, poured a glass of wine for Su Mei himself, and said, "Since the girl doesn't want to eat food, let's have a drink..."
Su Mei remained unmoved and said, "Sorry, Su Mei never drinks."
The Crown Prince of Guizhou cursed in his heart. When she drank, no man could compare to her. She never drank. Didn't she suspect that he had added something to the wine?
Although he did add something to the wine just now, it was colorless and odorless, and she would definitely not be able to detect it.
He frowned and said, "Tonight is a happy occasion. Isn't it fair that the girl won't give you the honor?"
Su Mei stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Su Mei is feeling unwell, so I'm sorry to be with you."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
The expression on Prince Qian's face was uncertain. After sitting down, he put the wine glass on the table, looked at Bai Jin beside him, and said, "Bai Gongfeng really taught a good disciple..."
Bai Jin looked at him and said: "The bad disciple was naughty and bumped into the Crown Prince. Bai Jin apologized to the Crown Prince on her behalf. After returning, he must teach her well..."
"Forget it, I am not an unreasonable person." Prince Qian waved his hand and said, "Maybe the girl is really unwell."
He looked at a maid behind him and said, "Since the girl is unwell, go to her room and take care of her."
The maid made eye contact with the Crown Prince of Guizhou, bowed slightly, and said softly: "Yes."
In Su Mei's room.
Su Mei sat on the edge of the bed, looked in the direction of the window, and sighed softly.
A maid came in from outside the door. Su Mei glanced at her and said, "Xiao Lian, please pour me a glass of water."
The maid closed the door, walked to the table, poured a glass of water, then walked to the bed and said, "Girl, the water is here."
Su Mei picked up the cup and the maid looked at her.
She took back the water glass that had been brought to her lips, looked up at her, and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
The maid panicked and said: "No, no..."
Su Mei looked at her for a long time, then gently put down the water glass, stood up, smiled at her, and asked: "Xiaolian, am I beautiful?"
The maid looked at her beautiful face without any flaws, a trace of blush appeared on her face, her heart was pounding, and she said uncontrollably: "Beautiful..."
…
Within the inn.
Tang Ning walked out of the room, and Tang Yaoyao chased her out of the room and asked, "It's so late, where are you going?"
"There are still some small things that need to be taken care of." Tangning turned around, waved to her and said, "You go to bed first, I will be back in a while."
Tang Yaoyao waved to her and said, "Come back soon, I'll wait for you."
Tang Ning walked out of the courtyard, and Old Zheng and Gongsun Ying also walked out of the courtyard.
Gongsun Ying slept for two days and two nights and seemed to be full of energy. Although Lao Zheng still looked haggard, he showed no mercy when he stabbed someone with a knife.
Chen Zhou strode over, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, we have taken control of the east city gate, and the three thousand soldiers and horses of the city defense camp have been assembled. Please give me your order!"
