Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei still knew nothing about what happened in the palace in an instant.
Ji Ziyi spent an hour frying the medicine and delivered it to Rong Cang personally.
Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei were having breakfast.
I asked Ji Ziyi before eating, and he said that he had already had breakfast and there was no need to prepare his own. This sentence was exactly what His Highness the War King wanted.
It's a good meal for two people, but one more person is an eyesore.
"When I entered the palace just now, someone noticed me." When Ji Ziyi entered the room with the decoction, she said in a calm tone, "Let's advance the detoxification time by one day to avoid unnecessary complications."
Shengxia walked over and took the medicine, handed it to Rong Cang, then stood aside.
"It's no problem to advance." Chu Yunfei glanced at the silent Rong Cang, then turned to look at Ji Ziyi, "But the emperor has already learned about Rong Cang's poisoning, and also knows that we have found a doctor to detoxify him, so the emperor requires detoxification. He had to be there when it happened.”
Ji Ziyi was slightly stunned: "What kind of hobby does the emperor have? Do you think I deliberately deceived the prince into being poisoned?"
"That's not true." Chu Yunfei shook his head, "The emperor just wants to make sure that the poison is indeed cured. He feels at ease. After all, Rong Cang is a general who leads the army, and there is no room for negligence on the battlefield."
"My cousin is so innocent and lovely." Ji Ziyi lifted her robe and sat aside, her movements extremely cool and calm, "The emperor's mind is unpredictable. The concern on the surface may not necessarily be true concern, or it may not be complete concern, more or less You may also hide a little temptation."
Chu Yun Fei's eyebrows raised slightly: "Cousin, please make it clear."
"The royal family will do anything to fight for the throne. Some people secretly poison others, and some frame others for poisoning. The methods are endless. If the emperor doesn't have a little scheming, won't he be fooled by all the civil and military officials?" Ji Ziyi said in a tone of voice. The light wind is gentle, but the words are to the point and go to the point, "Do you think the emperor really believes that someone poisoned you when you said that someone poisoned you? Unless he sees it with his own eyes, he will not completely believe it."
Rong Cang closed his eyes and drank the medicine without saying a word, not commenting on this.
Chu Yunfei thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "My cousin is right."
No matter whether Emperor Mu had such thoughts or not, they could assume that he had such thoughts and then prove that what he said was true.
Lord and minister, father and son, brothers.
The struggle for power is full of intrigues. If you expect to get everything with complete trust and sincerity, it is a fantasy.
Chu Yunfei asked: "So my cousin agreed?"
"What can't I agree to?" Ji Ziyi obviously didn't care about this. "I am not a wanted person by the court, and I am not afraid of meeting the emperor. On the contrary, once someone finds out my identity and files a memorial to impeach the war king and Langyacheng for forming a clique for personal gain, I will Make the emperor suspicious."
In this case, it is better to detoxify in front of the emperor, which can at least prove that the relationship between them is a simple doctor and patient.
Chu Yunfei put down her chopsticks silently and sat for a while before looking at Rong Cang: "Did you guess it early on?"
After the bowl of soup reached the bottom, Rong Cang wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether you guessed it or not. What matters is that this matter is true. The emperor's heart is indeed unfathomable. We don't need to Try to guess his thoughts all the time.”
These few words were spoken with aloofness and indifference, making it impossible to refute.
Chu Yunfei understood what he meant instantly.
Rong Cang has always been like this. He doesn't need to guess anyone's thoughts. If he focuses on guessing other people's thoughts all day long, he won't have to do anything serious.
He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, studied the art of war, commanded 400,000 soldiers, and became the irreplaceable God of War in the Chu Kingdom. As long as the Chu Kingdom wants to stabilize its country and keep its territory intact, the emperor will definitely not suppress Rong Cang - this is the confidence of the war king. .
The person who wanted to murder Rong Cang by any means was King Chen, not the emperor.
The person Rong Cang wants to deal with is also King Chen, not the emperor.
The reason why the emperor knew about this matter was not entirely a sign of weakness, but also a way of showing his trump card in front of the emperor. In the future, Rong Cang was not at odds with Gu Guifei and his son, and he turned against the Chen Wang brothers. Rong Cang's original intention was that Concubine Gu and Prince Chen were planning to kill her first.
In the future, Rong Cang's fight for the throne will not be because of ambition, but because he is forced to have no choice.
They only need to show these most real things in front of the emperor, and they will already have a natural advantage and position.
Rong Cang has led troops for many years, what kind of tactics has he not seen on the battlefield? A person who has been through hell for many years is just too proud to bother playing with those thoughts, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to play.
"Since the prince knows it, I have nothing to say." Ji Ziyi stood up and said goodbye, "I will come to the palace early the day after tomorrow. My cousin will dress up the concubine, and we will enter the palace together."
Chu Yunfei was surprised: "Are you sure you are entering the palace?"
"It's safer in the palace." Ji Ziyi nodded, "Wang Zhan and his concubine entering the palace will not cause too much speculation. If the emperor comes to Prince Zhan's Mansion in person, the concubines, princes, and ministers will definitely guess what happened in Prince Zhan's Mansion. If you alert the emperor to come in person, it would be safer to simply enter the palace."
Chu Yunfei hummed: "Then I'll listen to my cousin's arrangements."
Ji Ziyi left.
After Chu Yunfei sent someone to send him out, he ordered Mo Xue to go out and keep an eye on him: "There should be a lot of spy agents outside Prince Zhan's Mansion. Go out and take a look."
"Princess, I don't need to look at you." Mo Xue replied, "There are eye spies from Prince Yu's Mansion, and there are also spies from Prince Chen's Mansion, but they are not there every day. Sometimes the eye spies from Prince Chen's Mansion go back to stare at Prince Yu's Mansion, and the eye spies from Prince Yu's Mansion will Go and keep an eye on Prince Chen's Mansion. Since Prince Qi came back, they will occasionally go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion to keep an eye on him for a long time. Their whereabouts are unpredictable and they mostly hang around these houses."
Chu Yunfei was strangely silent for a moment: "Are their two palaces so short of people? Do they still need to run around to keep tabs on them?"
"No." Mo Xue shook his head, "They don't always stare at one place because they are worried that others will find out. Once discovered, it may be a dead end."
In fact, sometimes they are very cautious in following, watching from a distance, and if they find something wrong, they quickly run away.
If you always stare at one place, it is easy for someone to find out and silence you.
"So that's what happened." Chu Yunfei had always thought that she was different from the woman raised in the boudoir, but now she realized that there was really no difference.
I am completely ignorant of these conspiracies and various methods. The more I know about them, the more ignorant I become.
"You don't need to know this." Rong Cang raised his hand and stepped back, "I'm ready for all the secret things. Don't worry. The more you know, the more headaches you will get."
"I do have a headache." Chu Yunfei walked over and sat down next to him, "Because if you know one, you want to know the other. The deeper you dig, the more complicated it becomes, which is scary."
Just like before, she always thought that the emperor was a sage and enlightened emperor. He had a normal father-son affection for his son and a normal reliance on the King of War. After he learned what King Chen had done, he must have hated it very much.
But just after hearing what Ji Ziyi said, she suddenly understood that although the emperor was a good emperor, they couldn't take it for granted.
The emperor's heart is unpredictable.
She had heard this sentence often before, but never took it seriously. It was not until today that she understood the true meaning of this sentence.
