In fact, she has never liked Tamako Mako very much - this guy was sent by the Queen to harm His Highness the Sixth Prince!
I just knew that His Highness the Sixth Prince had already made plans, so naturally he wouldn't say anything disappointing at this time.
However, Concubine Quan's heart moved slightly, remembering what her son had told her earlier, but she didn't show any emotion at the moment, she just said softly: "I have nothing to worry about here, just go and do your own thing. "
Ying Zheng knew that she understood what he meant, bowed and walked out.
…
The young sixth prince arrived at the alchemy room with a dull expression.
He did not rush to see Yuzhenzi, but went to the side room to change clothes first.
When he reappeared, his hair was tied up with jade hairpins, and he had a wide robe with big sleeves. He looked like an immortal, and with the aura of coldness lingering around him, he really looked like an immortal who looked down on the prosperity of the world.
From the moment he walked in, Yu Zhenzi looked at him without revealing anything. When he saw the sixth prince going to the side room to change clothes, his heart beat even faster.
He quickly looked around and saw no one around. This was also the sixth prince's usual habit. When practicing Taoism, those servants were not allowed to enter.
Suppressing her anxiety, Yuzhenzi took out a paper packet from her sleeve, opened it to reveal the red powder inside, and quickly mixed it with the cinnabar used for alchemy.
After a whole set of actions was completed, his heart almost jumped out of his throat. He resisted the urge to take out a handkerchief to wipe his forehead, and waited patiently for the sixth prince to come over.
Ying Zheng walked slowly to his side and nodded slightly to him as usual. Then the two of them silently sat down in front of their respective alchemy furnaces and started the daily alchemy process step by step.
Yuzhenzi saw the sixth prince taking the cinnabar as he had done for the past few days. The uneasy heart in his chest instantly calmed down, and he carried out the elixir refining steps smoothly with his hands until the final elixir was completed. , the little hands and feet he moved on the alchemy furnace earlier also worked.
Ying Zheng saw a dazzling golden light flashing in front of him, and then a strange fragrance was emitted.
He was stunned by it, and a touch of excitement appeared on his usually cold face: "Sir, did you see it? Just now——"
Yuzhenzi was overjoyed: "This is exactly the auspicious sign sent by the immortal after the elixir is achieved!"
Then he bowed his head and said: "Your Highness's heart for cultivating Taoism has moved heaven and earth. Finally, today's success has been achieved. Xiaodao is here to congratulate Your Highness!"
Ying Zheng accepted it happily and helped him up with his own hands: "This is all your credit, sir!"
When I opened the pill furnace, I was delighted to see that the pills inside were plump and round, with a quiet fragrance.
Ying Zheng used the utensil to carefully take it off, and brought it to his mouth under Yu Zhenzi's eyes that seemed indifferent but actually revealed a scorching heat.
However, when he was about to touch his lips, he stopped.
Yuzhenzi's heart skipped a beat because of this.
"Your Highness," he forced himself to smile: "Why don't you take it?"
Ying Zheng was silent. He looked at the pill for a few moments and suddenly said in a solemn voice: "Here comes someone!"
The guards guarding the outside heard the sound and entered, holding weapons and murderous intent.
Yuzhenzi was frightened, and her eyelids began to twitch.
But I heard the Sixth Prince sigh, and then said: "I am still young and have not yet finished my life. Even if I take this elixir, there will be no immediate effect. But Boyang Hou is my comrade, and he is already old. , Tianshou is approaching——"
He put the elixir into the box, handed it to the guard, and repeatedly warned: "This is the elixir that Mr. Yu Zhenzi taught me to refine. It is not comparable to ordinary things." It's yours. You and Mr. Yuzhenzi must go together and deliver it to Marquis Boyang with your own hands. Watch him take it. Don't lose it!"
Hearing this, Yu Zhenzi felt a chill run down his back and his hair stood on end.
This medicine was originally made for the Sixth Prince. He is young and healthy and can survive for a period of time. But if it were replaced by Boyang Hou, he would probably die immediately!
Until then...
The Sixth Prince is involved in the case and may not be held responsible, but he, the alchemist, must die!
Even the queen may not be able to keep him!
Half of Yu Zhenzi's three souls and seven souls flew away, as if he had sensed the upcoming ominous fate. However, the Sixth Prince did not give him time to think of a way to deal with it, and arranged for him to be killed. : "Sir, I don't worry about asking these mediocre people to go. After all, only a fellow like you can send it off, so that Marquis Boyang can believe it."
"And you are his good friend for many years - if Marquis Boyang feels that this thing is too valuable and refuses to take it, you must persuade him!"
Yuzhenzi: "...ah?"
He was in a panic. Over there, Ying Zheng closed the door of the alchemy furnace, took off the wet handkerchief hanging on the screen, lowered his head slightly, and wiped his hands methodically.
The guard half invited and half pulled Yu Zhenzi out with him.
Something suddenly occurred to him midway, but he stopped and asked respectfully: "Your Highness, today is the birthday of the abbot of the country. I am afraid that Marquis Boyang will also go to celebrate his birthday..."
Yuzhenzi finally found the pillow she needed, and immediately pretended to be calm and said: "Yes, I'm afraid I won't be able to find Marquis Boyang today."
"What's this?"
Ying Zheng said in a relaxed tone: "You just go to the father-in-law's house to find him. Boyang Hou and I are close friends, why should we care about these foreign things and customs? And the father-in-law is a refined elder, let alone the same. The two of us care about these little things."
The guard responded and immediately walked out with Yu Zhenzi.
The threshold was getting closer and closer, and the fire in Yuzhenzi's heart became more and more raging, and the clothes on her back were almost soaked with cold sweat.
Going to Boyang Hou's house to deliver poison to Boyang Hou is enough to explode. Is there anything more explosive than this in the world?
Yes, I have.
He went to the abbot's house and poisoned Marquis Boyang to death during his birthday party.
Tamaki bets that there will never be anything more explosive than this in the world!
This is not sending pills, this is sending death!
Yu Zhenzi walked fairly steadily in the first few steps, but the further she went, the more her legs became unruly.
He was able to be an alchemist, come out to deceive, and was selected by the Queen to work as a spy for the Sixth Prince. He was naturally a smart person. After a brief panic, he was so blessed that he finally came to his senses.
Breaking free from the guard's grip, he turned around with a cry and a howl, knelt on the ground, walked forward on his knees, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"The villain deserves to die. The villain is guilty. Your Highness is a wise judge with a burning gaze. Please show your noble hand and spare the villain this miserable life!"
After saying that, he kowtowed again and again, not stingy with his strength.
Ying Zheng looked at him condescendingly, not wanting to give in to him. He immediately said straight to the point: "What does the queen use to restrain you to ensure that you will not betray her?"
Yu Zhenzi cried: "The villain's family is all in the hands of the Queen. She gave her orders, how dare I disobey her? I had no choice but to jointly set up a bureau with Boyang Hou to lure His Highness into the trap. I never thought that You are extremely wise and have already seen through the treacherous plot, but you followed it..."
Ying Zheng smiled: "You are a good person and willing to tell the truth."
Then the smile on his face disappeared, and he took out a delicate piece of money from his arms and threw it on the ground: "If you dared to tell a lie just now, I will immediately send your whole family to meet in the underworld!"
Yuzhenzi crawled forward and grabbed the piece of money. After a closer look, he recognized that it was the piece hanging around his daughter's neck. Knowing that his family was in the hands of the sixth prince, he couldn't help but Dajue felt happy.
Fortunately, I just made a desperate move and stayed, otherwise——
He did not dare to plead for himself, but just begged: "I know that His Highness must hate me deeply if he is involved in this matter, and he does not dare to ask for life. It's just that my family does not know about this matter. Please be magnanimous to Your Highness. Let them live. The villain has nothing to repay in this life. In the next life, he will tie a grass ring to repay your kindness!"
Ying Zheng looked at him leisurely: "You intend to poison me in the name of alchemy. Even if it succeeds, you will probably not be able to escape death. Do you know?"
Yu Zhenzi's face showed bitterness: "How could you not know? Such a big thing, if I were the empress, I would not dare to leave anyone alive."
Ying Zheng suddenly said: "I can protect your family."
Yuzhenzi's eyes suddenly lit up.
But I heard him continue: "But you have to do something for me."
When Yuzhenzi heard this, he expected that this matter would not be easy to do. However, when the news arrived here, how could he be allowed to refuse?
At that moment, he swallowed hard and said with determination: "Only according to His Highness's orders!"
Ying Zheng said: "You are here with me all the time. How does the Queen contact you?"
Yuzhenzi didn't know why and said: "The villain has a token of the queen and the emperor, and the people in the palace can tell it at a glance. The same is true for them when they contact the villain."
Ying Zheng said "Oh": "Then, you'd better go to the father-in-law's house."
Yuzhenzi: "..."
Yu Zhenzi said cautiously: "Are you determined to poison Marquis Boyang?"
Ying Zheng looked at him in surprise: "Is he worthy of taking the elixir I made?"
Yuzhenzi breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I heard the sixth prince say: "Take this elixir to the prince's house and poison the eldest son to death."
Yuzhenzi: "..."
Ah this.
"Go to the father-in-law's house and poison Marquis Boyang to death when he celebrates his birthday. 》
"Tamako bets that there will never be anything more explosive than this in the world!" 》
——Nima, it really does exist!
Yuzhenzi said bravely: "But I heard that the eldest son of the emperor injured his leg while riding a horse recently and cannot walk..."
Ying Zheng said patiently: "That is his maternal grandfather. He has always been about filial piety and respect, so he will go."
Yuzhenzi: "..."
Yu Zhenzi: "I have never met him, and he won't take the pills I gave him?"
Ying Zheng said patiently: "Don't you have a token from the Queen? Show it to him."
Having said this, he smiled politely and comforted Yuzhenzi: "Don't worry, he is different from the queen. He is not smart. He will believe you."
Yuzhenzi: "..."
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes dangerously and said quietly: "Mr. Yu Zhenzi, you don't want anything to happen to your family, right?"
Chapter 210
The cold sweat on Yu Zhenzi's head flowed like a river.
Poisoning someone else's grandson to death at the father-in-law's birthday banquet is going to explode no matter how you think about it!
Wait, the eldest son of the emperor may not die suddenly on the spot.
He is different from Boyang Hou. He was young and strong...
Yuzhenzi then thought again: But it would be okay if it was somewhere else, but the home of the head of state. If he made such a move, the Queen would know about it immediately and react quickly.
Until then——
