Chapter 198 It seems that the emperor still likes Lord Bai!
Li Yuchang looked at Bai Zhancheng and asked:
"General God of War, why did you enter the palace today?"
"I asked the emperor to grant me a marriage, but it's a pity that I came a step too late, and Bai Qingshan got there first."
Bai Zhancheng's voice was very calm, but the information revealed in his words was enough to make the air in the whole room become somewhat depressing.
Bai Zhancheng told Li Yuchang everything that happened in the imperial study room today.
Li Yuchang listened patiently, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of teasing.
After a long time, he slowly spoke:
"It seems that the emperor still likes Mr. Bai Hou!"
Bai Zhancheng nodded silently, without comment.
"Will General God of War be willing to join forces with me? At that time, I will personally grant you a marriage, and you can marry whoever you want!"
Li Yuchang's voice was full of temptation. He took a sip of tea from the tea cup, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Fifth Prince, you."
Bai Zhancheng pretended to be surprised and looked in disbelief.
Li Yuchang put down his teacup and stared straight at Bai Zhancheng, with a flash of greed in his eyes:
"If you can help me ascend the throne and become the king of the Great Xia Dynasty, then I will definitely share the world with you!"
Bai Zhancheng didn't expect that Li Yuchang would express his ambition so openly. He was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer.
Li Yu saw him silent and his eyes became colder and colder.
He snorted coldly, stood up, and looked down at Bai Zhancheng condescendingly:
"It doesn't matter if General God of War doesn't agree, you will still fight for me in the end anyway."
"What's the meaning?"
Bai Zhancheng's eyes narrowed, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Li Yuchang smiled coldly and said in a cold tone:
"Does the General God of War know about the soul-taking incense?"
Bai Zhancheng's pupils shrank violently:
"Why do you have the soul-destroying incense!"
Soul-taking incense is a kind of voodoo technique, something that only witch doctors can refine.
It is said that the effect of this thing is similar to that of voodoo, but its power is better than that of voodoo.
Once consumed, it can control people's intelligence, become the puppet of the controller, and become a tool for killing.
This kind of thing only exists in legends.
And now...he has never touched the teacup on the agarwood table, how could he be poisoned?
Bai Zhancheng looked at Li Yuchang suspiciously, thinking to himself that this guy is indeed a mentally ill master!
Li Yu saw this and sneered:
"Do you think I will lie to you?"
When Bai Zhancheng heard this, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes were full of horror.
Li Yuchang continued:
"The fragrance in the carriage is specially prepared by me to suit your physique."
His voice was somewhat mocking.
"This aroma is the soul-taking incense? Then you..."
Bai Zhancheng's eyes were tense, and his voice became trembling. Before he could finish his sentence, a fishy-sweet taste suddenly surged in his throat, and a wisp of blood flowed down the corner of his lips.
"This aroma is only effective for you! If you change your mind within three days, you can come to my palace to get the antidote. If it's too late..."
Li Yuchang changed the subject, with a hint of regret in his tone:
"I'm afraid that General God of War will really become a thoughtless puppet by then, which will be a huge loss to our Great Xia Dynasty!"
Bai Zhancheng's face twisted after hearing this and he gritted his teeth.
Li Yuchang raised the corner of his mouth with a strange arc, then asked the coachman to stop the car and drove the poisoned Bai Zhancheng out of the carriage.
After finally reaching his horse, Bai Zhancheng spit out a mouthful of blood.
He covered his chest and his face was as pale as paper.
damn it!
He actually fell into Li Yuchang’s trap!
Bai Zhancheng endured the pain and mounted his horse. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a masked man in black walking out of the bushes not far away.
"Who are you?"
A look of fear appeared in Bai Zhancheng's eyes, his voice was cold and his eyes were cold.
The masked man did not speak, but pulled down the scarf on his face, revealing a face that he had met once before.
After Bai Zhancheng saw the person in front of him clearly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly:
"Aren't you Lin Xiao's coachman? Why are you following me?"
The driver looked at the pale Bai Zhancheng and said in a low voice:
"Are you poisoned?"
Bai Zhancheng glared at him coldly:
"Who are you?"
A gloomy look flashed in the coachman's eyes:
"You don't have to worry about who I am. I won't harm you. I just want to tell you one thing."
"What do you want to say?"
Bai Zhancheng stared at him warily, his eyes full of alertness.
Now that he has been intoxicated by the soul-taking incense, he naturally does not dare to be careless.
The coachman said slowly:
"I agree to the Fifth Prince's request and detoxify first."
Bai Zhancheng frowned, his voice hesitant:
"Are you the person Li Yu often sends to lobby me? Oh, he is really funny. He has already poisoned me. Is it necessary to find a lobbyist?"
"I'm not anyone's lobbyist. If the general doesn't believe it, just pretend I didn't say it."
After saying that, the coachman was about to turn around and leave, but Bai Zhancheng immediately stopped him:
"Wait!"
There was a bit of struggle in his eyes:
"Can you tell me who you are?"
"Now is not the time. Anyway, remember, I will never harm you!"
The driver's voice was cold and distant.
Bai Zhancheng vaguely guessed something in his heart, his eyes became complicated, and he clasped his fists at the coachman:
"In that case, I'll take my leave."
The driver nodded and turned to leave.
Watching that familiar figure go away, the complex expression on Bai Zhancheng's face deepened.
After a long time, he sighed and galloped towards Ai Lv Shi.
Hermes clothing store.
Zhang Yue took Lin Xiao and Lan Lian to the backyard to check out the handmade soap Lin Xiao had made previously.
After a period of fermentation, this batch of handmade soaps has basically matured, and its light fragrance permeates the air, making people feel refreshed after smelling it.
"Well, this batch of handmade soaps is mature. Sister Xiaoyue, it's time to start selling!"
Lin Xiao looked at the exquisite and beautiful handmade soap in front of her and nodded with satisfaction, the joy in her heart uncontrollable.
"Okay! I plan to price it at two taels of silver per piece, and then we will each get half of it."
"Two taels of silver? Will anyone buy it if it's so expensive?"
Lan Lian clicked her tongue in shock when she heard that it was two taels of silver for a piece of handmade soap.
You must know that in Jiuzhou Town, most farmers' annual output is only seven or eight taels, and two taels of silver is more than their annual income!
Lin Xiao shook his head when he heard this, and his voice was firm and determined:
"You are wrong about this. The handmade soap we make costs only two taels of silver, which is already considered cheap."
When she mentioned the four words "make a lot of money", she deliberately lowered her voice.
"oh?"
Seeing that Lan Lian still didn't believe it, Zhang Yue couldn't help but reached out and poked her forehead:
"Do you know how much money this Beijing woman spends on makeup and makeup every year?"
Lan Lian shook her head stupidly.
Zhang Yue smiled and held out five fingers: "At least five taels of silver!"
