Chapter 62: Really Not Very Well Behaved
"Are you too idle?" Yan Qing frowned, "Divination doesn't require consuming vital energy?"
Do you have a divination every three to five days, and the divination is all about big things that require energy, and you don't care about your body that has not yet been cleared of the remaining toxins?
"Is Your Highness worried about me?" Ji Weiyu's eyes lit up, "If I can get Your Highness to care about me, I will be willing to do so even if I exhaust my efforts and die."
Hearing this, Yan Qing glanced at him lightly and said in a particularly gentle tone: "Go to the corner and squat on horseback for two hours."
ah?
Ji Weiyu was stunned: "Your Highness, I am weak..."
"go."
Ji Weiyu curled her lips, stood up and was about to turn around to leave, when she heard Yan Qing say: "Tell me the news first."
Ji Weiyu was silent for a moment, then turned to look at her: "Someone violated His Highness's order and left Dayong Imperial City on the pretext of suppressing rebellion. I guess he will arrive in Chu State soon."
Yan Qing held her chin: "Ji Weiyu."
"Um."
Yan Qing raised his eyebrows: "Do you know my whereabouts well?"
Ji Weiyu shook his head: "I can't predict it most of the time."
"Why?"
Ji Weiyu cleared her throat: "Maybe it's because His Highness is a lone star in the sky and his destiny is too hard and noble, so my divination technique won't work on Your Highness."
"It turns out that the name Tiansha Lone Star can still be used like this." Yan Qing leaned on the couch and said in a casual voice, "Not bad."
If she had known this, she shouldn't have done so many good deeds in her previous life. She originally thought that kindness could influence her father, emperor, and queen, but she didn't know that some people were born with cold and vicious hearts and could not be influenced at all.
If she had woken up in her previous life and directly usurped the throne, the final outcome would have been different, right?
Yan Qing smiled mockingly.
Even if he fails to usurp the throne and is shot to death by random arrows, it is better than being poisoned to death for being cowardly.
However, Yan Qing knew in her heart that even if she really risked her life in the previous life, she would not be able to succeed. In this life, she had the advantage of having a new life and knew how to plan ahead - she was reborn at the age of fifteen, just after Wen Jin left Suzaku City.
With the memories of her previous life, three years is enough time for her to make plans.
In the year after she first woke up, her hatred was so strong that she even ignored her own body and fed her poison test medicine herself. She endured the pain of being bitten by thousands of insects every day and every night, and only took it when she was on the verge of death. The antidote made Langya blame her for being too cruel to him every time.
Yan Qing knew in her heart that no matter how cruel she was to herself, it would not be as bad as the harm her father, queen and mother had caused her.
It took one year to develop a superb poison-wielding ability, and two years to plan the available forces. After the death of the late emperor, the day she returned to the court according to the order was the beginning of revenge.
It took her three years to understand that human potential is unlimited, whether it is the physical endurance, the endurance of keeping a low profile, or even the execution ability of calculating people's hearts.
As long as the hatred is strong enough, all pain can be ignored.
For all this today, she tested the poison with her own body, and personally tried the feeling of being bitten by thousands of insects, until the pain was so extreme that she couldn't help but slash her arm with a dagger, and watched with her own eyes as the bright red blood flowed out... She knows this feeling better than anyone else.
Now she is ruthless, ruthless, and even has poison in her blood.
Be tough on yourself, and even tougher on others.
In those three years, Wen Jin was busy establishing a foothold in the court and had little time to care about anything else, so he didn't know how Yan Qing spent those three years.
Yan Qing wouldn't let him know either.
Before Wen Jin left, he was a noble son and future powerful official trained by Yan Qing personally. After Wen Jin left, in Yan Qing's heart, he had become a wolf who would rebel against the master in the future.
Yan Qing curled her lips.
The evil star.
She should be called Tiansha Poison Star in this life.
"Your Highness." Ji Weiyu was keenly aware of her bad mood and walked over to try to comfort her, "Your Highness, you don't need to think so much. Some people are born as devils, regardless of whose father or mother they are. Such people are selfish. You only love yourself and will not be sincere to anyone. Your Highness does not need to..."
"I didn't think so much." Yan Qing came back from the past and said in an indifferent voice, "They are selfish and cold-hearted. I will be even more selfish and cold-blooded than them. Maybe this is the inheritance in the blood."
Ji Weiyu shook his head subconsciously.
He wanted to say no, His Highness has never been a selfish and cold-hearted person, so don't talk about yourself like that.
If he hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, His Highness would still be the kind-hearted His Highness he was before - but what's the use of being kind?
Ji Weiyu still felt that His Highness was more domineering now, and he couldn't help but want to surrender at her feet.
Yan Qing raised his finger and pointed at the corner of the wall.
Ji Weiyu shivered for a moment, turned around and stood in the corner.
Yan Qing stared at his back, her eyes narrow, and couldn't help but think about what he just said.
Leaving Dayong Imperial City on the pretext of countering the rebellion?
Tsk.
Yan Qing narrowed her eyes, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. She was really not very good.
How dare you turn a deaf ear to her words.
Yan Qing turned to look out the window. Was she really indulging him too much?
"His Royal Highness King Feng." A man hurriedly walked outside and stood outside the palace door and reported loudly, "The stolen goods in the Zhongyihou Mansion have been confiscated, and His Royal Highness Prince Ming led the Royal Forest Army to escort all the people from the Zhongyihou Mansion into the palace. "
Ji Weiyu turned to look at Yan Qing: "It's done."
Yan Qing said: "Not bad."
"The next step is the real confrontation between the Emperor Father and the Queen Mother." Ji Weiyu's expression was faint, with a hint of indifference in her tone, "The Queen Mother cannot watch the murder of Marquis Zhongyi, and she will definitely force the Emperor Father to give in. My father finally made the decision to investigate Marquis Zhongyi, and he will not compromise easily."
So a confrontation is inevitable.
What Ji Weiyu has to do is to contain the Queen Mother from all sides, so that she is completely trapped in the palace, and the information cannot be sent out. The minions from all sides who are helping the evil are eliminated one by one, so that the Queen Mother is isolated and helpless, unable to make trouble again.
After this contest, either the emperor was completely ousted, or the queen mother was placed under house arrest. It was no longer possible for the two palaces to maintain a semblance of peace and balance as before.
Yan Qing frowned: "The Empress Dowager has been in power for many years, and the forces that have penetrated the court are her real bargaining chips. The Zhongyi Hou and his like are at most a few sharp knives. The knives can kill people, but they are all on the surface. It is not difficult to break them. , the infiltration of forces from the DPRK and China is the cornerstone that affects the whole body."
As long as those ministers are loyal to the Queen Mother, the Emperor will still have to fight this battle.
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Ji Weiyu was full of confidence, "The Queen Mother will definitely kick the iron plate this time."
Yan Qing said calmly: "How long do you need?"
Ji Weiyu fell silent, "Is it true that His Highness will leave as soon as the Chu Kingdom matter is over?"
"I have no reason to stay in Chu for a long time."
…
PS: Guys, a puzzle has been solved here.
Yan Qing was reborn at the age of fifteen. In the next three years, Wen Jin entered the court. Yan Qing planned the layout in Suzaku City. At the age of eighteen, he returned to the court according to the order. This is the beginning of the plot of this book.
Because he deliberately concealed it, Wen Jin did not know many things that had happened in the past three years.
