Chapter 383 originated here
In the evening, Yunfeng Mountain.

In a word, it’s just that beauty disappears, it’s not a big deal! The hands under Mo Yi's sleeves clenched instantly, suppressing the anger and murderous intent in his heart! But Ye Qing, who was looking arrogant outside the pavilion, was completely unaware of this scene.

Xiao Jinxi knew the suppressed anger and worry in Mo Yi's heart, but she could only say without changing her expression: "I see. But there is one thing I'm curious about."

As he spoke, he calmly picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for himself and Mo Yi. The sound of tea dripping... dripping... made Mo Yi come back to his senses instantly, and turned around to see The woman poured the tea and responded with a smile in her eyes. She picked up the tea cup and continued to drink tea quietly...

Seeing that Mo Yi's mood had eased, Xiao Jinxi felt relieved, picked up the tea cup, and continued: "I wonder if the old gentleman can help me clear up my doubts?"

Ye Qing smiled and said, "Oh, what's the matter? Miss Xiao might as well tell you."

Xiao Jinxi said: "According to my understanding, the old gentleman should have known Emperor Zongyuan through Nangong Chufang. Although Emperor Zongyuan was the prince at that time, his ability was not as good as that of his brothers. He was always worried about gains and losses, so his stature would naturally be lower. The old gentleman is such a talented person, so it is understandable that he should be more polite to the old gentleman."

"After Emperor Zongyuan ascended the throne, the mutual interests between him and Nangong Chu became shallow, and the relationship naturally became estranged. This is understandable."

"But why is the relationship between Emperor Zong Yuan and the old gentleman not only not estranged, but actually so close?"

"Emperor Zongyuan just sends a letter, and the old gentleman can give him the beauty. This kind of affection is not ordinary."

Ye Qing smiled and said: "Ha...ha...Miss Xiao is amazing! However, this time you said it wrong."

"At that time, there was only one 500-year-old ginseng in the palace. Five-hundred-year-old ginseng was not easy to find. The people in the palace were afraid of missing the princess's medicine. While looking for the ginseng, they also hurriedly sent a message to Nangong Chu."

Xiao Jinxi still had that faint smile on her face, and she was suppressing murderous intent in her heart... No wonder you were able to successfully enter the palace to meet Murong Xuan back then. It turns out that Emperor Zongyuan only knew that there was an expert helping Nangong Chu plant Huanxincao, but he didn’t know Ye Qing! Also, the Huanxincao planted by Ye Qing was very important to Nangong Chu. How could Nangong Chu casually introduce such a person to Emperor Zongyuan! After Princess Mei got married, it was even more impossible for Nangong Chu to let Emperor Zongyuan know about this relationship. Emperor Zongyuan, who was still the prince at that time, thought he was self-aware and knew that he was not capable of secretly finding out about Nangong Chu's affairs in Dayue. He might also offend Nangong Chu. If he offended Nangong Chu, he might lose this help, so he Will settle for the next best thing and ask for medicinal materials. Later, Emperor Zongyuan finally ascended the throne, and these things were not important to him.

"In return for two 500-year-old ginseng, Emperor Zongyuan's request is that if he needs any special medicinal materials, as long as I have them, I will give them to him for free."

"In the end, Nangong Chu agreed and left the address of Jishengtang Pharmacy to Emperor Zongyuan. It wasn't until the fourth year of Zongyuan that I received Emperor Zongyuan's request for things."

Xiao Jinxi was puzzled: "Oh... you haven't really met him before? That makes me even more curious. Can you tell me, old gentleman?"

Ye Qing was already laughing heartily: "Ha...ha..."

Then he smiled and said: "So that's it. I thought the friendship between the old gentleman and Emperor Zong Yuan was extraordinary, but it turned out to be just a transaction!"

"Huanxin grass is a rare thing and difficult to grow. How can those who can grow Huanxin grass be ordinary? It was because of this incident that Emperor Zongyuan knew about my existence and that I was helping Nangong Chu plant Huanxin grass. "

"At that time, Emperor Hou Zongyuan was still the crown prince. One winter was particularly cold, and the roots of the Huanxin grass in the Fallen Leaf Valley began to suffer from frostbite. If not treated in time, all the Huanxin grass would be necrotic, and it would take five hundred years to cure it. The above ginseng roots.”

I see! Xiao Jinxi's eyes darkened, it turned out that the tragedy of Shoukang Palace originated from this!

Xiao Jinxi agreed with a smile: "So that's how it is. The old gentleman entered the harem under the nose of Emperor Zong Yuan in such a grand manner, met Murong Xuan, and began to help Murong Xuan plan for Emperor Zong Yuan's throne. The old gentleman is really amazing! I admire him. !”

Xiao Jinxi looked curious and said: "Oh, I made a mistake? I hope the old gentleman can teach me."

Xiao Jinxi tapped the teacup with her fingers, letting Ye Qing laugh arrogantly, and said after a moment: "Murong Xuan was still in the deep palace at that time, and it was inconvenient to come in and out, otherwise the old gentleman wouldn't have used the funeral. If you sneak into the palace, the old gentleman will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to do the most important thing. "

"Although Beauty Elixir is not a big deal for the old gentleman, it is still a rare poisonous insect for ordinary people. The old gentleman should be very clear about this. But the old gentleman gave it away so generously. What kind of friendship do you have with Emperor Zong Yuan? Old gentleman, what do you think?"

"Ha...ha..." Ye Qing said with a proud smile: "It doesn't matter, since Miss Xiao is curious, I will tell you."

As for Mo Yi, murderous intent was already passing through his heart, but he was still suppressing it... It turned out that Beauty Xiao, who made his mother and concubine tortured to death, was just a deal between you! Ha...it's not a big deal! Ye Qing, I will settle all these accounts with you one by one!

"In the third year of Zongyuan, the Dai Viet delegation entered the palace to attend the funeral of Concubine Mae. According to the rules, the delegation must first meet the emperor before entering the palace. As a member of the delegation, before meeting the emperor, they must go through layers of inspections and change their disguise. It’s impossible to put on makeup. So, that interview was actually the first meeting between the old gentleman and Emperor Zongyuan.”

Seeing that Xiao Jinxi was finally wrong, Ye Qing said with a proud look on his face: "I don't have any friendship with Emperor Zongyuan, and I haven't even really known each other. It was just what Nangong Chu had promised Emperor Zongyuan before."

Ye Qing smiled and said: "Ha...ha...that's right. If Emperor Zong Yuan didn't know me, I wouldn't have been able to pretend to be an envoy and enter the palace, let alone meet Murong Xuan."

"At that time, Nangong Chu happened to be on an envoy to Tianqi. After Nangong Chu received the news, he naturally found the nearby Prince Tianqi, who was Emperor Zongyuan. The land of Tianqi is vast and rich in resources. No matter how incompetent Prince Tianqi is, he is still capable of finding these things. As expected, soon, He ordered people to find two 500-year-old ginseng."

"But I'm curious about one thing. Children in the harem are more cautious than ordinary children since they were young. What's more, Murong Xuan had just lost his mother at that time, so he should be more vigilant and should not easily believe in the deep love between master and disciple. This is an excuse, not to mention that you have never met each other and are separated by a generation. To him, the old gentleman is just a stranger when he meets you for the first time. "

"Seizing the heir, this kind of thing might be a fool's errand. So, how did the old gentleman convince Murong Xuan that you were sincerely helping him?"

Hearing this, Ye Qing chuckled...but did not answer.

Xiao Jinxi had already guessed something in her heart and continued to smile: "Old sir, why don't you let me guess again."

"Hmm...Although the old gentleman entered the palace pretending to be a missionary, but if you want to prove your relationship with Concubine Mei without disturbing Xiao Yun, then you must have something about Princess Mei that can prove your Identity. Princess Mei has been apprenticed to the old man for so many years. It shouldn’t be difficult for you to find something of hers. I absolutely believe this.”

"But the key point is how to make Murong Xuan believe that your master will indeed help him ascend to the throne of God. Moreover, Murong Xuan has to accept your suggestions and help. Old sir, am I right?"

Hearing this, Ye Qing still chuckled silently and did not answer. He wanted to see if Xiao Jinxi was really that powerful and knew everything?
Xiao Jinxi was not in a hurry, looked at Ye Qing with a smile, and continued: "The old man should have told Murong Xuan that Xiao Yun and Concubine Mei were childhood sweethearts, and Emperor Zongyuan didn't know this. After all, Xiao Yungui is the commander of the Royal Forest Army and has an unusual status, but he has such a special relationship with the concubine. Why has he never made it clear for so many years? This is not a trivial matter! If one day Emperor Zong Yuan knows about this relationship. , I’m afraid his situation is worrying!”

"The only way is to ascend to the supreme position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Only when you have the imperial power and the power of life and death can you rest easy. Old sir, am I right?"

"Ha...ha..." Ye Qing's eyes flashed with shock, but he smiled: "You are indeed Miss Xiao. Yes, Murong Xuan was alone in the palace at that time, and he had just lost his mother. He was helpless. Finally, someone offered to help him secretly. Of course he wanted it. "Xiao Jinxi cooperated and praised: "Well, what the old man said makes sense. Who can be unmoved by the position of emperor, not to mention it is about the matter. He is really a man of talent. He single-handedly helped a most incompetent prince to ascend to the throne."

Hearing this, Ye Qing laughed heartily: "Ha...ha...ha..."

Xiao Jinxi continued: "This is not a trivial matter, and the old gentleman has been dormant for many years, so naturally he does not want to expose himself before it is done. So at that time, the old gentleman proposed to use poisonous poison, and Murong Xuan had to accept it. The first person to bear the brunt was naturally Liu Quan, who followed Concubine Mei all the way from Dayue to Tianqi. Later, Nangong Chu also joined in, so even Nangong Chu's people were also poisoned by the old man. Sir, am I right?"

Ye Qing chuckled: "Ha...ha...Miss Xiao is really smart. It's like personal experience. I really admire her. It's a pity. It's a pity that Murong Xuan missed a bright pearl."

Xiao Jinxi smiled and said: "No, it's me who admires the old gentleman. His intelligence is not limited to this."

Hearing this, Ye Qing narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, why did Miss Xiao say this? Miss Xiao has already guessed all my thoughts."

Xiao Jinxi shook her head and said with a smile: "No, the old gentleman is being humble. Secretly supporting a weakest prince to rise to power is not the most powerful thing for the old gentleman."

Ye Qing's eyes flashed with shock again, and he smiled and said: "Ha... Miss Xiao, do you think too highly of me? Well, Miss Xiao, I would like to talk about it, I would like to hear the details."

Xiao Jinxi responded cooperatively: "Okay. Then I will talk to the old gentleman again. If I am right, the old gentleman will reward me."

Ye Qing's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he was shocked again. What else could Xiao Jinxi say? But he smiled as if nothing had happened and said: "Oh... Reward? Ha... Then let me listen to Miss Xiao's opinions first."

Xiao Jinxi looked at Ye Qing with a smile and continued: "Although Concubine Mei is your apprentice, this is a big help. How can I help you casually?"

"Although the old gentleman has some concerns in his heart, he can't always express it openly. And the drama of the deep love between master and disciple naturally cannot completely convince Murong Xuan."

"That being the case, what did Murong Xuan promise the old man to do to help him so much? In other words, what conditions did the old man offer to make Murong Xuan feel at ease and believe that you will really help him? Old sir, what do you mean? Woolen cloth?"

Ye Qing smiled but did not answer, looking at Xiao Jinxi with a proud look on his face.

Xiao Jinxi was still playing with the tea cup in her hand, but her eyes were looking over the tea cup at the arrogant Ye Qing. She let him smile arrogantly, with murderous intent passing through her heart, but she smiled and said: "It seems like I'm old Sir, you want to test me again.”

Xiao Jinxi looked at Ye Qing meaningfully and sneered in her heart, haha... Ye Qing, Murong Xuan, your respective calculations are really loud! One, looking forward to one day being able to manipulate the emperor! No, I'm afraid it's more than that! As for the other one, in order to cover up his life experience, someone happened to be willing to help him, so he would be happy to see it happen!

life experience? A thought suddenly appeared in Xiao Jinxi's mind, and she was shocked... How can Murong Xuan firmly believe in her life experience? Did Concubine Mei say it herself? But they hadn't had the chance to leave the palace at that time, so how could Concubine Mei say it so easily? But last time Xiao Yun mentioned Concubine Mei, he just said she was not well. This reaction was very strange! Could it be that Concubine Mei's death was really related to Murong Xuan?

Then he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's okay, then I'll make another guess. The old man's biggest heartache in this life is naturally the Miao people. Although the old man's mastery of bewitching skills is rare for hundreds of years, but the Miao people After all, the Gu art has been passed down for hundreds of years, so you can't shake it with your own strength. Therefore, when you missed the position of clan leader, the old gentleman had no choice but to leave unwillingly. "

"But I'm always holding my breath. If you have the opportunity to take this breath, why not? You alone cannot shake the Miao clan, but the old gentleman can find helpers, such as Emperor Tianqi."

Hearing this, Ye Qing's eyes flashed with shock again. This Xiao Jinxi was like a roundworm in his stomach, and she could guess his thoughts so clearly!

Seeing the shock in Ye Qing's eyes, Xiao Jinxi knew that her guess was correct, but she sneered in her heart... Ye Qing, ever since I knew about your existence, ever since I knew that you were the source of all these grievances, I have not only investigated you in many ways, but also... , and more importantly, spend countless efforts to guess your thoughts! The snake hits you seven inches. How can we not spend more effort to catch you, a poisonous snake?

Then he continued to laugh and said: "The Miao tribe has a special geographical location. It stands among the three countries with the strength of a tribe. It has been safe and sound for hundreds of years. Why?"

"In addition to the terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, there is also the mysterious and unpredictable Miao Gu technique that has been passed down for hundreds of years."

"The emperors of Tianqi, Daqi, and Canglan all coveted that territory. If such good terrain can be captured, it will be an excellent border defense line. Moreover, the special geographical location of Miao territory also allows the growth of There are medicinal materials that are not available in the other three kingdoms. It is such an attractive territory, but the emperors of the three kingdoms have been dreaming of it for hundreds of years. "

"But it's different now. The old gentleman has grown up in the Miao Territory since he was a child. He is most familiar with the Miao Territory. The most important thing is that the old gentleman is the disciple of the ancestor leader. His understanding of the Miao Territory is based on the exposure he has had since he was a child. Everything is beyond the reach of ordinary Miaojiang people! If such a person secretly cooperates and finds a suitable reason for the crusade, it will be impossible to capture the Miaojiang people. On the day that the Miaojiang people are conquered, Mr. It can be said that this is really true!”

"Hehe... What is the leader of a clan? What does it mean to secretly influence the emperor of a dynasty? How happy is it to single-handedly destroy a century-old inheritance that has bullied and humiliated you!"

"In this way, it can be said that they hit it off. Murong Xuan helped the old gentleman destroy the Miao clan, and the old gentleman helped Murong Xuan ascend to the throne of God. For Murong Xuan, it was a win-win situation. Not only did he become the emperor, but also It’s a great achievement that all the emperors of Tianqi have been unable to do for hundreds of years! Old sir, am I right?”

Xiao Jinxi's voice reached Ye Qing's ears word by word. Ye Qing could no longer hide the shock in his eyes. He looked at the young woman in the pavilion in disbelief. At this moment, he truly believed that from Dayue to Tianqi The one who was playing tricks on him all the way was indeed the woman in front of him.

However, Ye Qing soon realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly hid his shock and said with a smile: "Miss Xiao is really amazing! But it is meaningless to say this now. Murong Xuan has been deposed, and Miao Jiang has nothing to do with it. It ceases to exist.”

Xiao Jinxi smiled and said: "No, of course it makes sense. Since I am right, will the old gentleman give me the reward I just mentioned?"

Ye Qing was confused: "Oh, what reward does Miss Xiao want?"

Xiao Jinxi responded: "I want to ask the old gentleman for something. Now this thing is of no use to the old gentleman."

Hearing this, Ye Qing's eyes flashed with shock again. He vaguely felt something, but he smiled and said: "Oh, is there anything else in my body that Miss Xiao is interested in? You might as well tell me."

Xiao Jinxi looked at Ye Qing with a smile and said: "Of course it was the promise Murong Xuan made to the old man back then. Although your cooperation back then was based on what you needed, in real terms, Murong Xuan needed this more than the old man. If you want help, you will naturally accommodate the old gentleman."

"There is no basis for saying so. Although this matter is a win-win situation for Murong Xuan. But this matter was naturally impossible when Murong Xuan first came to the throne. But when to take over Miao territory is a controversial issue What should we do at this time? Old sir, what do you think?”

Hearing this, Ye Qing still chuckled, but did not answer. At this time, Ye Qing was sure what Xiao Jinxi wanted, and he was waiting for Xiao Jinxi to speak.
