Chapter 799 Deterrence
"Children will naturally not start singing such disrespectful nursery rhymes for no reason. The new emperor has ascended the throne, and I have been ordered to support the new emperor. Now that something like this has happened, naturally we cannot just sit idly by."
Zhan Beixiao said quietly, looking at the two people slowly.
Chen Taishi felt like a light was on his back. He had only heard of the Seventh Prince's methods, but he had never seen them before.
"Mr. Li is very loyal, but he still doesn't want to tell the truth at this time. What if someone wants to kill you to silence you?"
Zhan Beixiao smiled softly, withdrew his gaze, clapped his hands, and a young boy came in and poked the silver needle in his hand into the wine glass of the man in a long gown.
The silver needle is indeed a bit darker.
The man in the long gown immediately turned ugly, raised his head and glared at Chen Taishi.
Chen Taishi secretly thought that something was wrong, this idiot, he really planned to get rid of this man, but he would not be stupid enough to do it in public. This incident made it clear that the seventh prince was plotting against him.
Zhan Beixiao looked at the movements of the man in the long gown and slightly raised the corners of his lips.
"This hip flask is a clever thing."
Zhan Beixiao took another sip of tea and said slowly, "Turn the lid and you will come into contact with the non-toxic side."
The boy standing aside followed Zhan Beixiao's instructions and turned the pot lid, took out a new cup and poured a glass of wine. It was indeed non-toxic.
Then the boy put the silver needle into Chen Taishi's cup. As expected, the silver needle remained unchanged.
The man in the long robe had an ugly expression on his face, pointed at Chen Taishi and said, "You want to kill me?"
In front of Zhan Beixiao, Chen Taishi was helpless.
The Seventh Prince really found this person's character weakness and wanted them to avoid exposing themselves to it.
"Brother Li, you misunderstood."
Chen Taishi looked helpless and looked back at the man in the long gown.
It's just that the man in the long gown didn't feel the look in Chen Taishi's eyes. Instead, he said with an angry look on his face, "You are really abominable."
As he spoke, the man in the long gown looked at Zhan Beixiao, "Your Majesty, the common people have something to say."
Zhan Beixiao curled his lips, but his expression was very calm, "Oh? What are you talking about?"
The man in the long gown looked at Chen Taishi and revealed the whole incident.
The blood on Chen Taishi's face faded, and he resisted the urge to rush up and give the man in the long gown a stick, but he was really confused.
The man in the long gown seemed not to notice Chen Taishi's eyes. He pointed at Chen Taishi and complained to Zhan Beixiao, "Your Majesty, the common people are really blinded by this matter."
Zhan Beixiao looked slightly cold and looked at Chen Taishi, "Does Taishi have anything else to say?"
Chen Taishi bent over and knelt on the ground, "I have nothing to say."
Zhan Beixiao glanced at Chen Taishi coldly, "As Taishi, you encourage others to slander the new emperor. This is a crime that you knowingly commit and is a capital crime."
Chen Taishi's face turned pale and he kowtowed heavily to Zhan Beixiao, "Weichen is aware of his guilt, but his family members are all innocent. Weichen is willing to die to apologize."
Zhan Beixiao sneered, "It's not an exaggeration to think that you are dead."
Chen Taishi looked pale and said nothing.
"It's just that the new emperor has ascended the throne and is kind-hearted. I think you are also an old man in the court. I will spare your life and let you retire and return to your hometown to spend your old age in peace."
Zhan Beixiao looked at Chen Taishi and said slowly.
Chen Taishi looked happy and kowtowed hurriedly to express his gratitude, "The sinner, I thank you for your kindness."
Zhan Beixiao said nothing and looked at the man in the long gown again.
"Although you have been deceived by teaching children such nursery rhymes, you can avoid being punished by death, but you cannot escape the crime of living. You can no longer be a private school teacher in the future."
Zhan Beixiao put his hands behind his back and looked at the two people, "Do you have any objections?"
"The common people kneel down to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Zhan Beixiao nodded, turned around and left the restaurant.
Chen Taishi sat slumped on the ground, with mixed feelings in his heart. He was forced to do this, but everything was settled. He just lost the black gauze hat on his head, which was considered a profit.
Without looking at the man in the long gown, Chen Taishi slowly stood up and walked outside.
In the restaurant, Yu Ji looked at herself in the bronze mirror and frowned slightly.
Since that day, the masked man never followed her again, at least she didn't notice it.
This is the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty. There is no news about Helian Yuexia in Tianling Kingdom. I wonder if the Northern Wei Dynasty will find any clues.
The masked man dared to say that Helian Yuexia was dead. It was simply ridiculous.
Yu Ji stood up, put on the human skin mask again, and instantly transformed into an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman.
After leaving the restaurant, Yu Ji slowly walked towards the city gate of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
This is her first stop.
Although the prosperity of the border is not as prosperous as that of the capital city, the excitement can be found everywhere.
Feng Qinghua walked slowly on the street. In order not to attract other people's attention, she had already prepared a set of clothes from the Northern Wei Dynasty.
There were many people coming and going on the street, and Yu Ji was a little confused for a moment. How could she find clues about Helian Yuexia in such a big place.
"Get out of your way, Princess Xilan is here."
There was a sound not far away, and the guards held long swords in their hands and drove away the people along the street.
Yu Ji frowned. Is this Princess Xilan so powerful? She is so arrogant.
Yu Ji looked in the direction of Princess Xilan with some curiosity.
The sedan chair just passed in front of Yu Ji. The sedan chair was surrounded by white gauze, so you couldn't see clearly what she looked like inside.
The breeze blew and the veil was slightly lifted. Princess Xilan was leaning on the sedan chair with a lazy look on her face, playing with the broken hair in her hands.
Yu Ji's expression changed slightly. How could this face look so similar to hers?
Before I could take a closer look, Princess Xilan's sedan chair had already passed by.
"Hel me down."
Princess Xilan said lazily and stretched out a delicate hand towards the outside of the sedan chair.
He immediately stepped forward and a maid helped Princess Xilan out.
People along the street stared at it, it was so beautiful.
Yu Ji walked up quickly, followed quietly behind Princess Xilan, and watched her enter a makeup store.
"See Princess."
The people in the cosmetics shop hurriedly knelt down and bowed to Xilan cautiously. They had long heard that Princess Xilan was very favored and arrogant.
Xilan nodded lightly, "Just be normal, I just want to take a look."
She has never lacked these things, but today she just wanted to go out for a walk on a whim.
"The princess looks very good. I think you are very suitable for this job."
Yu Ji walked over and handed the powder box in her hand to Xi Lan.
The wooden carved box was exquisitely made and exuded a light fragrance. Xilan fell in love with this gadget at just one glance.
Xi Lan glanced at Yu Ji, she was a very ordinary looking woman, but her calmness gave people a very comfortable feeling.
"Bring it to me to try."
