Yes, he was too happy before that the king finally changed his mind to marry Princess Yang Xi, but he never thought about why the king was so obsessed with Miss Ke'er and resisted marrying Princess Yang Xi just a moment ago, but suddenly changed his mind overnight.
Wang was never one to change his decision easily. As long as it was something he believed in, he would stick to it, but this time...
After looking at each other in silence for a while, the elder suddenly thought of something and was startled: "Is it because of the Forgetting Pill?"
When he first heard the name "Forgetfulness Pill", Ao Chenye's body stiffened suddenly, his eyes suddenly shot out with a sharp edge, and he looked intently at the expression of realization on the elder's face that seemed to be informed.
"Forgetting Pill?! What Forgetting Pill? Elder, could it be that you are hiding something from me?!" Ao Chenye's tone became cold and he asked sternly.
Hearing the hidden anger in Ao Chenye's tone, the elder quickly sorted out the surprise and suspicion in his heart, and cautiously looked around to see if anyone else was there...
The matter was so important that others could not know about the king's "bad situation", otherwise it might cause rumors that would not be beneficial to the court.
After looking around for a week and confirming that no one else was present, the elder asked seriously and quietly: "Please calm down, King. I will never hide anything from the king. It's just that I feel that something is fishy, but this is not the place to talk. The old minister suggested
Go back to the imperial study and explain it to you in detail."
After hearing this, Ao Chenye's face tightened and he gave the elder a deep look: "You'd better be able to make me really calm down!"
The elder's face straightened, he nodded cautiously, and suddenly thought of it: "Wang, call Leng Yun over by the way. I think he might know more about the Forgetting Pill than I do."
"What?! Leng Yun is also involved in this matter?!" Ao Chenye's tone began to become unstable.
Good, good! Damn that’s great! One after another, the people he trusted seemed to be doing something behind his back!
Taking a deep breath of cold air to cool down the anger that was about to explode in his heart, Ao Chenye snorted coldly: "Humph!"
Then, suppressing the anger of being kept in the dark, he took the lead in the direction of the royal study room with a flick of his sleeves.
…
After a while, Leng Yun also came to the imperial study room.
As soon as he walked in, he felt that the atmosphere inside was so solemn and breathtaking.
Ao Chen Ye sat on the throne with a cold face, his unfathomable eyes looking at them coldly at the steps. He remained silent for a long time, and his cold aura was so overwhelming.
I didn't even dare to take a breath.
Leng Yun first looked at the elder, and saw that the elder was looking at him solemnly, but without any hint, so he had no choice but to step forward and salute, and then quietly stood beside the elder, waiting for his master to speak.
Finally, in a suffocating cold atmosphere, Ao Chenye opened his mouth to break the ice.
"Leng Yun, I just heard from the elders that you went to Brother Wang to get the Forgetting Pill, right?" He spoke slowly, word for word, and his tone was so cold and harsh that it made people shudder.
With a "pop", Leng Yun knelt down to plead guilty and said: "Yes, my subordinate made arbitrary decisions and deserves death!"
Ao Chenye's cold pupils shrank, and words burst out from his teeth: "Now is not the time for you to die, first tell me, when did you let me take the Forgetting Pill?"
"This..." Leng Yun raised his head in shock and wanted to deny it, but he didn't know where to start?
The elder on the side said anxiously: "Leng Yun, please speak up! Did you give the Wang Qing Dan to the king that day?"
"My subordinate took the Forgetfulness Pill, but I swore on my life that I would never let the king take it. In fact, the Forgetfulness Pill was stolen just before yesterday. When I chased him out, I could no longer see him. Originally, the Forgettable Pill was stolen by someone just before yesterday.
This subordinate wanted to report this matter to you, elder, but... Wang suddenly wanted to marry Princess Yang Xi, and then so many sudden unexpected things happened one after another. The subordinate was caught off guard and put the matter on hold.
"
Hearing Leng Yun's explanation, the elder felt puzzled for a moment, then regained his composure and looked at Ao Chenye, analyzing it to him - "The Forgetting Pill was just stolen yesterday. This was because the king was going to marry Yang Xi."
Princess, let me say it this way, the king did not abandon Miss Keer and marry Princess Yang Xi because he took the Forgettable Pill, then is this the king's own wish?"
Ao Chenye looked back at the elder with hopeful eyes again, pondered for a moment before saying, "This is not my own wish."
"But……"
The elder just opened his mouth to persuade him, but Ao Chenye had already turned his eyes to Leng Yun, his gaze so sharp that it almost penetrated his soul, and asked probingly - "Leng Yun, have you really never given me the Forgettable Pill before?"
?”
"King, when I took the Forgetfulness Pill, I originally wanted to ask the imperial doctor to test the effect of the Forgetfulness Pill first, and then see if there are any bad effects, and then... This subordinate deserves to be damned. I have ever had the idea that if
One day, if the king insists on not listening to the elders' advice for the sake of Miss Kerr, his subordinates will sacrifice their lives to make the king take the elixir of forgetfulness."
After saying that, Leng Yun kowtowed deeply in shame and resignation, and then accepted his master's offer with dignity.
"Bold! Do you think I really won't kill you?!" Ao Chenye slapped the chair handle angrily, straightened up angrily, and glared at Leng Yun condescendingly.
Seeing a strong murderous aura suddenly burst out from Ao Chenye, the elder was frightened, so he quickly smoothed things over and comforted him - "Wang, please calm down, now is not the time to punish Leng Yun. Think about it, the enemy is hiding in the dark and plotting."
Looking after you, we cannot mess up the situation first. Moreover, Leng Yun has been following you for so long. You should know his character best. He would rather die than betray you. As for taking the Forgetting Pill, he is only worried about you for a moment.
I'm so confused..."
Before the elder could finish speaking, Ao Chenye interrupted coldly and angrily: "Hmph! Using the excuse of worrying about me to give me that pill to control me, isn't this considered betrayal?!"
"King... please calm down first. The most important thing now is to find out whether you have been affected by anything else?" the elder advised with a sigh.
This sentence finally allowed Ao Chenye to control the anger in his chest a little.
He must calm down now, otherwise the future of Tenglong Kingdom will have been ruined due to his manipulation before the real enemy has been discovered.
Thinking of this, Ao Chenye forced himself to suppress his anger towards Leng Yun and took a deep breath. He clenched his fists and sat back on the throne stiffly, looking at them solemnly and gently.
He said softly: "I have the poison of heart-eating grass in my body."
Hearing this, the elder and Leng Yun opened their eyes in shock at the same time.
"What?! That kind of evil spirit grass that can control people's hearts?!" Even after experiencing the baptism of three dynasties, the elder could no longer maintain the posture of a calm and wise man, and roared in shock.
"Who dares to attack the king?!" Leng Yun clenched his fingers, feeling chillingly angry at the person who dared to do so.
Scanning them back and forth with a deep look, Ao Chenye's dark eyes narrowed sinisterly, making them wait until they were suffering before he slowly spoke - "I suspect that person is Yang Xi."
"What?!" Upon hearing this answer, the elder and Leng Yun lost their composure and yelled in disbelief at the same time.
Listening to their unbelievable and unbelievable roars, Ao Chenye suddenly felt that the evil element in his heart began to lose control, and he felt a little relaxed.
He raised his eyebrows lazily, and his tone was different from the seriousness just now, and he teased them in a non-serious manner: "This is the first time I have ever seen you guys roaring and screaming together. Maybe I am suffering from pitting."
The poison of heart grass is still good for entertaining the public."
"King! Please!" The elder and Leng Yun both spoke out again, but this time they sounded worried.
At this juncture, Wang is still teasing people so leisurely!
"Alright, let's get back to the subject. I went to Dr. Fu, and he confirmed that I have the poison of heart-eating grass in my body. Although there is currently no way to detoxify it, Dr. Fu has used elixirs to protect my heart veins. Within a short time,
Nothing will happen to my body. You don’t need to act like I’m about to die. Tsk, tut, look at each other’s faces, they’re dark and twisted, it’s really ugly!”
As he spoke, Ao Chenye couldn't help teasing them again because of their bad behavior.
Before they could protest that he was not doing his job properly, he took the lead and resumed his seriousness, continuing - "However, I just suspect that Yang Xi used the heart-eating grass to control my heart and asked me to marry her.
Queen, she is the biggest suspect at present, but there is no evidence to prove that it is her. Based on my guess, Minister Gu Ming from Fulong Kingdom will not give up, so the most important thing at the moment is to find evidence against Yang Xi. This
The matter must be handled properly. If you are not careful, it may cause a war between the two countries. Do you understand?"
The elder and Leng Yun both nodded solemnly, but they were both thinking deeply about countermeasures. At the same time, they were even more worried about whether Ao Chenye's body would really be safe for the time being.
After a period of solemn silence, the elder said after careful consideration: "King, then we must have a foolproof plan. Moreover, the old minister suggested... Wang may not deal with important state affairs for the time being to avoid being manipulated by the Heart-Erosion Grass.
Bad consequences.”
"I have already thought of this. I have already ordered important twists and turns to be passed to the Elder's Hall in the near future. There is no need to pass them to me."
The elder's heart surged, feeling proud of Ao Chenye's trust.
"Leng Yun, you have temporarily handed over the important rules of guarding Xing Mo to others. You are responsible for personally supervising Yang Xi, and elder, you will cooperate with me to put on a good show." Ao Chenye decisively issued one after another.
instruction.
Seeing the hunting edge in his deep eyes, the elder's heart lifted, and he narrowed his bright old eyes in response: "What the king means is..."
Ao Chenye raised the corners of his lips inexplicably: "In order for the prey to step into the trap ahead, of course it must feel that the front is safe and beautiful."
