Chapter 757: Snake and Scorpion Mother and Daughter
Chapter 757 Snake and Scorpion Mother and Daughter
People and affairs undergo metabolism, and exchanges become ancient and modern.
The mountains and rivers have left beautiful traces, and our generation will come again.
The fish beam is shallow when the water falls, but the dream is deep when the weather is cold.
The Yanggong Monument is still there, and I shed tears after reading it.
——"Climbing Xian Mountain with the Scholars" Meng Haoran (Tang Dynasty)
…
(PS: Yesterday’s description of Bai Fu’s martial arts was not enough, so I re-wrote a paragraph in Chapter 772 this morning.)
…
Bai Fu secretly arrested the disciples of Yi Jianmen. Although the Japanese mission did not know about it, they smelled danger.
On the night of the assassination, the Japanese saint Rika Fujiwara and Usa Hachiman accompanied Suzong and Empress Zhang to watch the show, deliberately creating evidence of alibi.
In addition, the Japanese special envoy secretly planned the entire assassination operation and did not take direct action.
The purchase and transportation of the Meteor Repeating Crossbow, the sneak attack on the imperial army guarding the imperial city, and the assassination of Bai Fu and his party in Jiacheng were all completed by Yi Jianmen disciples alone.
But paper cannot contain fire. As time goes by, clues are exposed one by one, and the conspiracy of the Japanese special envoy will be revealed to the world.
Fujiwara Rika said to Usa Hachiman: "Grandma, although we are a Japanese mission, the Tang Dynasty court will not easily arrest us until we find conclusive evidence.
But Bai Fu is famous for his ability to retaliate against evil and not follow common sense. If we stay in Chang'an for one more day, we will be in danger for one more day. Now that the situation is turbulent, we need to make early plans."
God Usa Hachiman had already thought of a countermeasure and said: "After the Daming Palace rebellion, Li Longji was placed under house arrest in Taiji Palace, Gao Lishi was exiled to Wuzhou, the eunuch Wang Chengen was exiled to Banzhou, and the palace maid Ru Xianyuan was exiled to return to the state.
Princess Yuzhen was driven back to Yuzhen Temple.
All the people close to Li Longji who were familiar with him were replaced, and the Tai Chi Palace became like a cold palace. If what I expected was correct, Li Longji was angry and melancholy, and he would not live long.
Before he dies, he will never bring the secret of the Ninth Cauldron into the coffin, and will definitely tell Li Chu. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once missed, it will be a failure and it will be too late to regret it.
I am very old, and without the help of Ding Dan, my time is running out, and it doesn't mean much whether I leave or not. Why not, let's act separately. You sneak out of Chang'an and act secretly on the periphery.
I will find a female envoy to dress up as you and confuse the Tang court. In this way, we will be in light and darkness, echoing each other from afar."
Fujiwara Rika nodded and acted according to the plan.
…
Just when the god Usa Hachiman risked his life and took risks for the Ninth Cauldron Pill, another person was also secretly planning to seize the Cauldron Pill.
On that day, Usa Hachimanshin used the whereabouts of Yang Yuhuan as bait, hoping to exchange the secret of the Ninth Cauldron from Xuanzong.
The secret agent of the Caiyi Society, the palace maid Ru Xianyuan, who was ambushing beside Xuanzong, overheard the conversation between the two and learned the secret of the Ninth Cauldron.
When Yin Fenglan learned about it, she was overjoyed.
She had heard about the approximate origin of the Ninth Cauldron from Yang Guozhong. However, regarding the whereabouts of the Ninth Cauldron, Concubine Yang was vague and only had a few words, so what Yang Guozhong could understand was extremely limited.
The Japanese special envoy tried every possible means to spy on Xuanzong about the whereabouts of the Ninth Cauldron, proving once again that Xuanzong indeed knew the secret.
Like Usa Hachiman, Yin Fenglan believed that Xuanzong would never bring the secret of the Ninth Cauldron into the coffin before his death, and would definitely tell someone.
Nowadays, Gao Lishi, Princess Yuzhen and others have been expelled or left, and Xuanzong no longer has anyone close to him. It is a pity that his trusted maids such as Xianyuan were also exiled to return to the state, losing a capable arm.
However, Yin Fenglan still has a chess piece, which is her biological daughter-Yang Jieyu and Yang Yichan.
Disciple Queen Zhang urged Yin Fenglan again and again, hoping to reunite Yang Yichan and Bai Fu. With the help of Bai Fu's appeal in the army, he could seize military power and gain the support of the military circles of the Tang Dynasty in order to establish King Ding Li Dong on the throne in the future.
If it weren't for the emergence of the Ninth Cauldron, Yin Fenglan might have done this. But after the clues of the Ninth Cauldron gradually surfaced, Yin Fenglan immediately changed her mind. Now is not the time, she must let Yang Yichan find out the secret of the Ninth Cauldron.
whereabouts.
Yang Guozhong once told her that it was because of Wu Zhao's possession of the Ninth Cauldron and its mysterious power that she was able to transform from a mere weak woman into a powerful empress who dominated the government and the public.
The power of role models is infinite.
If you can also get the blessing of the Ninth Cauldron, you will no longer have to rely on others, and the haze after the Yang family was executed will be swept away.
Do princes and generals like Xiang Ning have the guts?
What Wu Zhao could do, he might also be able to do.
Sit on the dragon throne, ascend to the throne of Nine-Five, and become the second queen in the world!
Let the princes, nobles, and aristocratic families tremble under the hem of your gorgeous and noble skirt!
…
Yin Fenglan asked Yang Yichan next to her with concern: "Chan'er, how are you? Have you gained anything from your recent two visits to Tai Chi Palace?"
Yang Yichan shook her head and said angrily: "In addition to cheating on me, this old guy never tells the truth."
Yin Fenglan frowned and said, "We can't go on like this. After the rebellion in the Daming Palace, Li Chu did not dare to enter the palace easily to meet the Supreme Emperor Li Longji in order to avoid suspicion.
But if Li Longji is ill and dies soon, Li Heng will definitely allow Li Chu to visit the Tai Chi Palace. By then, the secret of the Ninth Cauldron will no longer be hidden, and Li Longji will definitely reveal this secret before his death.
Tell Li Chu the big secret.
Li Longji is old and frail, and now he is racing against time every day, and we are also racing against Li Longji."
Yin Fenglan pondered for a moment, and finally made up her mind, saying: "Chan'er, at this point, we can only prepare for the worst. For now, only if you return to Tai Chi Palace and stay with Li Longji day and night can this be possible.
Find out the whereabouts of the Ninth Cauldron."
Yang Yichan screamed, waved her hands quickly, and said anxiously: "No, I won't enter the Tai Chi Palace until I die! I finally escaped from this old man's clutches, and I will never go back to serve him again."
Yin Fenglan begged: "Chan'er, do you think Mom doesn't pity you? Do you think Mom is willing to let you go deep into the tiger's den? Isn't there no other way?
We, the two of us, have endured humiliation and heavy burdens all these years, just to prepare for the day when we can return to the Golden Palace and be proud of ourselves?
Once we succeed this time, we two will no longer have to live under others for a long time and act based on other people's faces.
Power, wealth, glory... Mom will help you get back everything you lose! Including Bai Fu!
When the time comes, let alone just a white man, all the men in the world will surround you and serve you day and night."
Yang Yichan cried and said: "Mom, I understand everything you said. But you don't know what kind of life I have lived these years. This old guy is no longer good, and he still asks me to please him day and night. Once I can't enjoy myself to the fullest, I'll take it.
The riding crop whipped me hard.
In order to serve him, I couldn't sleep all night long. I suffered from insomnia and lack of sleep all year round. Not only did I have a lot of gray hair, but I also lost a lot of hair.
Every morning when I wake up and see him sleeping next to me with a proud look on his face, I want to strangle this old guy to death!
Mother, look at my gray hair and wrinkled face, how can I still look like a girl in her twenties?!"
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
After a while, Yin Fenglan gritted her teeth and pushed Yang Yichan away, saying, "Don't blame me for being cruel. If we don't find the Ninth Cauldron, all the suffering we have suffered in the past will be in vain."
Yin Fenglan took out a small cyan porcelain bottle from her arms and handed it to Yang Yichan. She said in a cold tone: "Once you find out the whereabouts of the Ninth Cauldron, drop this potion into this old thing's water. This thing is colorless and odorless.
Make sure he doesn't notice.
After Li Longji died of poison, no one could detect it. The imperial doctors would only think that he died of old age.
Good boy, listen to mother, she will not harm you. Everything mother does is ultimately for you..."
