The next day Gongsun Lanqing came to serve the prince. The woman from last night was missing and he was a little curious.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for talking too much. Why is the woman from last night missing?"
Xia Houjian sneered, "You will never see her again."
Gongsun Lanqing was even more puzzled as to what this meant.
"Could it be that you have already left the palace?"
"Leave the palace? She will never leave the prince's palace. I have already reduced her... to ashes, haha! This is the fate of anyone who dares to do anything unfavorable to me."
Gongsun Lanqing was so frightened by Xia Houjian's words that he broke into a cold sweat. He was fascinated by the woman last night. Unexpectedly, he would not survive this morning and was killed by Xia Houjian himself.
Will I have the same experience as this woman one day? Although Xia Houjian treats me very well now, if I offend him one day, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive!
Thinking of this, Gongsun Lanqing paid more attention to his words and deeds in front of Xia Houjian.
"Don't be afraid, Qing'er, I won't kill you. As long as you serve me well and make me happy, your benefits will naturally be indispensable..."
Xia Houjian said, pulling Gongsun Lanqing into his arms, and then put his hands into her clothes.
"Woo..."
Gongsun Lanqing's body was being played with by Xia Houjian, and he could only endure it while showing a very happy attitude on his face.
"Yes, this slave will definitely serve His Highness the Crown Prince."
…
Xia Houjian called Shangguan Yan in front of him, and everyone else retreated.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince calls his subordinates, but what action are they going to take?"
Shangguan Yan asked.
Xia Houjian pondered for a moment, with a wicked smile on his face.
"Hmph, my father, I can no longer allow him to do unfavorable things to me..."
"Then His Highness the Crown Prince means that the Emperor will..."
Shangguan Yan gestured on his neck as he spoke, did he mean to kill the emperor?
Xia Houjian shook his head.
"Right now, I don't have that much ability. Killing my father will only bring more trouble to me. Rather than killing him, it's better to make him unable to speak or move, so that he can recuperate in the palace.
good……"
"I understand, but the emperor's body has always been strong. If he really gets sick, I'm afraid it will be difficult, but I have a way."
"What can I do?"
Xia Houjian asked Shangguan Yan eagerly.
"A disease that is neither noticeable nor easy to cure is voodoo."
Xia Houjian smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, I know you must have a solution. Tell me how to do it quickly."
It would certainly be best if he could keep his position as the crown prince and avoid the trouble that the emperor would always have to do with him.
Shangguan Yan took out a sachet from his body, which contained some exotic flowers and herbs, as well as poisonous body parts.
"As long as you put this sachet in the pillow where the emperor sleeps, the emperor will be bedridden within two days, and the imperial doctor will be helpless. But it will not kill the emperor, he will only become weak and drowsy.
"
"It's really amazing that this thing has such magical effects... But if it is discovered..."
If there is any evidence left behind, it will make him very angry if it is found on his own head.
"Your Highness, please rest assured that I have added another ingredient to this thing. It will disappear in two days without leaving any traces. But who should put this thing in the emperor's sleeping pillow?
"
This is indeed a difficult task, Xia Houjian thought carefully... people who can approach the emperor's palace...
Seeing that Xiahou Jian couldn't think of a suitable candidate after thinking for a long time, Shangguan Yan kicked him awake again and said, "If it is difficult to put it in the emperor's pillow, it can be as long as it is a few feet away from the emperor. This way the effect of the medicine will be weaker, but
It doesn’t matter…”
When Xia Houjian said this, he immediately thought of a person, and this person was also a person he held a grudge against. That was Eunuch Li who was beside the emperor. He had been helping the emperor, and this time it was just right...
"I have already thought of a way. I heard that Eunuch Li likes young maids very much. Instruct people to go to the palace to find a maid with the youngest mark, and then give her this sachet and ask her to give it to Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li
I will definitely wear it on my body, and then throw the palace goddess into the well without anyone noticing."
Xiahou Jian was still vicious and vicious, Shangguan Yan nodded, he could not think of such a solution.
"My subordinates will go and recruit them right now..."
Shangguan Yan went down with the sachet, and Xia Houjian laughed coldly. The emperor was no match for him. If he hadn't wanted to destroy him, Xia Houjian wouldn't have been so ruthless.
…
Three days later, news came from the palace that the emperor was ill. The illness came suddenly. All the doctors in the palace went to see him, but they could not find the cause and could not think of a countermeasure. In the end, they could only give the emperor some restorative medicine to calm him down.
medicine.
The emperor fell ill, and Eunuch Li also fell ill with the emperor, but Eunuch Li kept it secret from the emperor and didn't tell anyone!
Because he himself also found that his illness was the same as the emperor's, and he also suspected that it was because of the sachet given to him by the palace maid. However, the sachet turned into ashes three days later, and there was no way to trace it. Even if he went to the palace maid again, he would not know.
Where to go.
Eunuch Li thought that the prince might have wanted to dethrone him as revenge for the emperor, and that it was because of the arrangement of the musician incident last time.
Even if Eunuch Li knew it, he couldn't say it, because the emperor's illness had a close relationship with him, and he was also a member of the conspiracy to murder the emperor. However, without knowing it, he could only ask the emperor to resign and return to his hometown to retire early.
The emperor was originally unwilling to let Eunuch Li go, because he had followed him for so many years and knew his preferences and temperament very well. However, Eunuch Li was determined to leave, and he could not keep him while he was ill in bed, so he had to agree.
…
Eunuch Li had accumulated a lot of property in the palace throughout his life, so it was good to be able to return home early. Then he took a car with a car full of property and embarked on the road back home.
I never expected to be robbed by a group of men in black on the way.
There were so many thieves outside, and even though Eunuch Li was sick, he could not compete with the large number of robbers. In the end, all his belongings were robbed, and his followers were also killed, leaving Eunuch Li alone in the wilderness.
"I heard that wolves often appear here. You are lucky if you can survive tonight. Brothers, let's go."
A group of men in black took the gold and silver and walked away, ignoring Eunuch Li's cry. Although they did not kill him immediately, it was probably difficult for him to survive the night...
…
The group of men in black arrived at the residence of His Royal Highness the Prince's staff.
"His Royal Highness the Prince has rewarded you with the gold and silver. There is no need to hand it over."
Waiting for their return in the residence is Shangguan Yan.
That group of people were the aides raised by the prince.
Xiahou Jiancai would not keep Eunuch Li alive.
Now that Eunuch Li is no longer around the emperor, and he has been ill, the matter of replacing the crown prince has to be abandoned, and the future of Ju'an Kingdom can only be left to him.
