In the small courtyard in Beiliang City, Yu Zhuyue couldn't help but frowned when she heard the sounds coming from outside the courtyard.
In the past three days, Wang Xiao and Zhao Jie came to visit every day, just to heal Wang Xiao's legs.
What happened in Qinggu has reached Wang Xiao's ears, but even if he doesn't compete for the power of Shaowu Hou Mansion, Wang Xiao still wants to heal his legs. He doesn't want to live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Yu Zhuyue said: "Lanlan, go and drive them away!"
Yu Lan put down the herbs in his hand and walked out of the house. Soon, there was no more noise outside the yard.
Yu Lan returned to the room, looked at Li Wantong, who was still unconscious, and sighed deeply. "Mother-in-law, do you really need to use Biluo Qingyan to save her?"
Yu Lan has followed Yu Zhuyue since childhood. His medical skills are not as good as Yu Lan's, but he is much better than many doctors in Tianliang City. She knew the weight of the poison she had given. In the eyes of others, this poison might be a big trouble, but in Yu Zhuyue's eyes, it was just childish.
After Li Wantong was sent, Yu Zhuyue did not expose Yu Lan, nor did he choose to revive Li Wantong, but he still told Yu Zhi that he needed Biluo Qingyan to revive Li Wantong.
Yu Lan knew that Yu Zhuyue had her own reasons, but she was very confused. On the one hand, she was puzzled, and on the other hand, she was worried that Yu Zhi would be in danger if he went to get the Biluo Qingyan.
Yu Zhuyue was busy with what she was doing, then looked at the medicine jar, and then said: "It's not difficult to revive Girl Li. It's not difficult to heal Girl Li's legs."
"Then why did mother-in-law lie to Brother Xiaoyu like this?" Yu Lan was a little angry, "Mother-in-law, Biluo Qingyan is the most precious treasure in Cangshan Mountain. Back then, you wanted to borrow it, but you were rejected. Not to mention Brother Xiaoyu. Moreover, Wan What should Brother Xiaoyu do if he encounters danger?"
But Yu Zhuyue joked: "Do you feel sorry for your brother Xiaoyu now?"
Yu Lan didn't answer, and Yu Zhuyue continued: "Girl Li's illness is easy to cure, but your brother Xiao Yu's illness is difficult to cure. I once said that Xiao Yu'er can't live more than two years, maybe only one year. maybe."
"How could this happen?" Yu Lan asked anxiously, "Didn't Brother Xiaoyu recover from his illness back then?"
Yu Zhuyue shook her head, with a solemn expression, and said: "Xiao Yu'er's illness was caused by someone being seriously injured when he was not full-term. With my medical skills at the time, I could not completely cure Xiao Yu'er. Therefore. , when Li Qingru took Xiao Yu'er away, I expected that he wouldn't have a good life for a few years. But I didn't expect that ten years later, this kid would still be so lively."
"I don't know what method Li Qingru used to let Xiao Yu'er survive. But this is still a method that treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. In less than two years, Xiao Yu'er's hidden disease will break out, and even gods can't save him."
Yu Lan seemed to understand something and asked: "Mother-in-law, do you mean that Biluo Qingyan can cure Brother Xiaoyu?"
Yu Zhuyue was silent for a moment and sighed again. "You can give it a try. I have been thinking about this method for ten years. If this doesn't work, there is nothing I can do."
"Mother-in-law, you must save Brother Xiaoyu, I don't want him to die!" Yu Lan pleaded.
Yu Zhuyue touched Yu Lan's head silently, "Xiao Yu'er likes this girl Li very much. He will definitely bring Biluo Qingyan back. As long as he brings back Biluo Qingyan, I will have five We are sure to save him."
It was precisely because Yu Zhuyue knew this that he deceived Yu Zhi, and by rescuing Li Wantong, Yu Zhi would be more motivated to capture Biluo Qingyan.
Yu Lan couldn't help but look at Li Wantong on the bed, with a bit of envy in her eyes. Yes, it is envy.
It would be great if Brother Xiaoyu could do this for me.
What Yu Lan didn't know was that if Yu Lan was injured, Yu Zhi would risk his own life.
Yu Lan took a deep breath and said firmly: "Mother-in-law, please save Miss Li."
Yu Zhuyue was a little surprised. If anyone wanted Li Wantong to wake up the most, it should be Yu Lan. Why did this little girl change from her normal state today? Was she taking the wrong medicine?
Yu Lan murmured: "I really want to know what kind of person she is to make Brother Xiaoyu like her so much?"
...
Somewhere deep in the mountains of Beiliang Mansion, there is a miasma filled with swamps. The dense forest prevents sunlight from reaching here, and every air is filled with the stench of rotting food.
A tall figure walked through at an extremely fast speed until it broke into a cave where no sunlight could be seen.
"He...he's dead."
"We... bumped into each other. A person... he was killed by... that person!"
The stuttering night ghost spoke as fast as he could.
The stuttering voice echoed in the dark cave, and soon another voice came.
"who's that person?"
The stuttering night ghost said: "Then...that person...is...named Li Haomiao!"
"Li Haomiao, it turns out to be him." The owner of the voice was not surprised, and then ordered, "You have been exposed, don't go out again during this period."
The stuttering night ghost responded and then left the cave.
The next moment, a flame appeared from the depths of the cave, and then flames burned everywhere in the cave, lighting up the entire cave.
A figure walked out. This figure was not a night ghost, but a real human being. The other party wore a white mask, covering his face.
The masked man took out a letter from his arms, with a few words written on the paper.
"Li Haomiao has also come to Beiliang Mansion. He is still in the south. It seems that using night ghosts to assassinate Xiao Jingyao is no longer feasible."
"However, with the appearance of Night Ghost, the days of great peace in Chu are coming to an end. I want to see if Xu Qing's 100,000 Northern Border Army has the strength to deal with Night Ghost."
"Hahahahahaha."
...
In the Chengming Hall of the Imperial City, the Emperor of Chu was sitting high on the throne, with several people standing underneath. Li Xiuyuan and other important ministers were all here. There are also several princes of Emperor Chu.
When the prince was assassinated, they were the ones who should be most suspicious, but the appearance of the night ghost made them less suspicious. After all, who among the princes would dare to collude with Night Ghost? Even for the throne, would anyone dare?
The third prince, Xiao Jingyu, was dressed in a purple and gold python robe, looking majestic and noble. Among the several adult princes, he should have been the most suspicious, and even he himself doubted himself.
After learning the news from Beiliang Mansion, Xiao Jingyu also fell into doubt. When he was in Nanzhou Prefecture, King Xiang Ji of Chu asked him to return to Beijing. He even told the woman in red shirt that there would be someone who would do what he wanted to do.
What I want to do is...
Xiao Jingyu knew it well and knew that Xiang Ji also wanted it. With the current situation in the court, no one doesn't know what Xiao Jingyu is thinking, it's just that everyone sees through it but doesn't say anything.
Xiao Jingyu was once worried that even if someone else assassinated the prince, they would be suspicious of him.
But the night ghost appears and assassinates the prince.
Xiao Jingyu did not dare to get involved in this matter.
And now, just as Xiang Ji had expected, no one dared to doubt Xiao Jingyu.
If anyone dares to make random claims on this matter, Emperor Chu will not tolerate it, and Xiao Jingyu will not sit still and wait for death. Because this is a night ghost, it is taboo in the whole world. To falsely accuse the prince of colluding with Ye Gui, what is needed is evidence, otherwise, he will die because of the false accusation.
Listening to the occasional whispers, Xiao Jingyu's mind had already drifted to Nanzhou Mansion.
My uncle King Chu, could it be you? If you collude with Night Ghost, you really should be killed.
Xiao Jingyu also began to doubt Xiang Ji, because the current situation was just as Xiang Ji said, someone assassinated Xiao Jingyao on his behalf, and no one suspected him of the assassination.
It's just that the person who carried out the assassination... was not a human, but a night ghost!
Just as Xiao Jingyu was speculating in his mind, Emperor Chu leisurely said: "My dear friends, what do you think of this matter?"
Emperor Chu's majestic voice echoed in the hall, and there was no hint of joy or anger. But everyone could know that Emperor Chu would never be in a good mood at this time.
Everyone lowered their heads in unison and did not dare to speak. If anyone stepped forward, they might offend Long Yan.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Chu snorted coldly and said angrily: "The imperial court raises you to solve problems, not to stick you here like a piece of wood!"
Immediately, Emperor Chu looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "Prime Minister Li, you usually have the most ideas. You speak first."
Li Xiuyuan seemed to have anticipated Emperor Chu's question, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the top priority is to send someone to protect the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince to prevent Ye Gui from assassinating him again."
"This is one. Second, the purpose of Ye Gui's assassination of the prince needs to be carefully investigated."
As soon as Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, some ministers took the initiative to come out and echoed: "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Li said is true. The prince stays away from Kyoto and builds a new racecourse for our court. We must protect the safety of His Royal Highness."
"Your Majesty, the old minister proposed to recall His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to prevent any unexpected events."
"His Majesty......"
After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he stood aside and watched his nose and heart as if he had completed a task. As long as Xiao Jingyao was still alive, it was still too late.
After an hour of discussion, there was no result, and everyone left Chengming Hall as if they had dealt with the matter.
And an imperial edict was quickly sent from Chengming Hall to Nanzhou Mansion.
Li Xiuyuan sat in the sedan chair and looked at the guards who rushed to Nanzhou Mansion to convey the imperial edict. He once again guessed the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor of Chu.
Long before everyone entered the palace, Emperor Chu had already had an idea.
This imperial edict was probably drawn up long ago.
Li Xiuyuan put down the curtain and said, "Let's go back to the house."
Emperor Chu walked out of the Chengming Palace. He had already taken off his velvet robe and put on thinner Chinese clothes.
The appearance of Night Ghost caught everyone by surprise, but Emperor Chu quickly realized that no matter who was behind Night Ghost or who was colluding with Night Ghost, this was a very good opportunity.
The opportunity to weaken the military power of Chu King Xiang Ji.
The imperial edict is very simple. It orders ten thousand tiger troops from Nanzhou Prefecture to immediately go to Beiliang Prefecture to protect the prince Xiao Jingyao. In addition, all affairs of the Wanhu Army in Beiliang Mansion will be managed and deployed by Xu Qing, the Northern Border Army.
Is it right to protect the prince?
Your King Xiang Ji of Chu has entered Gutian Pagoda and will let Xu Qing take charge of it for a while. Is that okay?
The Wanhu Army is one of Xiang Ji's armies, with a strength of 30,000. All of them are elite soldiers and strong generals, and they are no less powerful than the cavalry of the Northern Border Army.
Emperor Chu wanted to use this to separate the Wanhu Army from Xiang Ji's command.
The bloodless move left everyone stunned.
Even Li Xiuyuan never expected it.
