Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 178 Speculating on the conspiracy

"You make it sound like I'm very knowledgeable." Cheng Qing's calm tone contained countless threats.

The smile on Cheng Yue's face became more and more forced, and he quickly changed his words and said, "That's not because you are smart enough to see through it. I'm not as smart as you."

"That's about the same." Cheng Qing turned her head back with a smile.

An and Wang looked happily, stroked their beards, and said, "How about this, you all write down the answers in your hearts on paper, and when the time comes, we will unfold them together and see who is the most reasonable."

Cheng Qing also felt that I couldn't explain it clearly, so it was best to do it this way, so she stood up and said, "Okay, I'll do it first."

As she spoke, she walked to the desk and poured some water to grind the ink.

Bai Xiuyuan stood up, walked towards her, and said, "Your hands are inconvenient, let me sharpen them for you."

Cheng Yue gave him a thumbs up from behind.

An and Wang also nodded happily.

Cheng Qing's sight was blocked, but she didn't see the movements of the two of them. Her hands were indeed not very convenient. She nodded and handed it to him so that she could just think about it.

Bai Xiuyuan grinded for a while, and when he was sure it was enough for three people to write a piece of paper each, he put down the ink, went back and sat down.

Cheng Qing laid out a piece of letter paper, picked up a pen and wrote a few words on it, then looked at his brother and said, "You do it."

After that, he took the paper and went back.

Cheng Yue looked at Bai Xiuyuan and said, "My future brother-in-law, you go first."

"Okay." This greeting made Bai Xiuyuan very comfortable, so he naturally agreed and got up to write.

Cheng Qing held his forehead and sighed.

Soon Bai Xiuyuan wrote back, and it was Cheng Yue's turn to write.

Cheng Yue stood in front of the table and wrote down almost without thinking.

Cheng Qing was amused and said: "Brother, you are just silent, and you are a blockbuster. You were procrastinating in the front, but at this time, you don't hesitate at all."

Cheng Yue smiled and said: "Hey, don't I need to think about it carefully? Do you think everyone is like you two? Besides, your brother and I have all used their brains for medical skills, so you can't let me slow down. Are you slow to respond to this?"

Cheng Qing raised the corners of his mouth, looked at him with eyes like stars and a sea, and said: "Yes, my brother is the best. I believe your answer is almost the same as mine."

Cheng Yue walked out from behind the desk and said, "How big the difference is. You'll know when you open it and take a look."

Cheng Qingbai and Xiuyuan also stood up.

"Please, foster father." Cheng Yue handed it over.

So did Cheng Qingbai and Xiuyuan.

"Okay, let me take a look." An and Wang saw enough of the joy between them, and stood up with a smile, took the letter paper in their hands, and opened it one by one.

When he opened the first one, his expression changed.

Then he opened the second and third pictures. He could hardly stand and fell down.

When he looked at Cheng Qing, Cheng Yue and Bai Xiuyuan, there was no smile on their faces. They had laid so much groundwork in front of them, they just didn't want to make him nervous.They all have fixed answers in their minds. How could they not know when the best time is?

The letter fell to the ground in An Hewang's trembling hands.

Cheng Qing bent down to pick it up and looked at the three pieces of paper. They all had the same answer: half a month later, when the emperor died.

The persimmon must be picked on the soft side. When the emperor is alive, it is not easy to shake the foundation. When the new emperor ascends the throne, the foundation is still shallow and the cohesion of the people is not strong enough, so it is best to handle it.

So taking action at this time is the best time.

"Why didn't anyone tell me?!" An Hewang had tears in his eyes. He couldn't believe how a person who was fine before could die in such a short period of time.Are all the imperial doctors in the palace just for show?
Seeing him like this, Cheng Qing couldn't help but sigh and said, "Father, we have only known about this for a short time. You must cheer up. The next thing depends on you."

An and Wang looked at them with tears in their eyes and asked in disbelief: "How did you know?"

"Because my brother went in to treat the emperor overnight." Cheng Qing said.

"What? Ran'er saved him?" An and Wang were very surprised.

"Yes, my brother saved him. If it hadn't been for him, the emperor wouldn't have even woken up, and he would have just passed away." Cheng Qing said: "The emperor was not sick, but poisoned. He was poisoned by the poison of Thousands of Dreams."

"After a thousand dreams, they were the ones who poisoned the Yuan Kingdom!" An and Wang clenched their fists, "It turns out that they are still ambitious and want to take over the Zhao Kingdom!"

This matter has always bothered Cheng Qing, and she said guiltily: "They are very scheming, and I didn't notice it."

Bai Xiuyuan gently circled her, patted her right shoulder, and said: "This matter is not your fault, there is no need to blame yourself so much."

Cheng Qing frowned and said: "The top priority now is to determine whether the third prince has united with the Yuan Kingdom. If not, then in half a month, the Zhao Kingdom will be in trouble."

King An He quickly calmed down from his grief and asked: "You haven't confirmed this matter yet, how can you say that the third prince will... seek power and usurp the throne?"

"This is simple." Cheng Yue said: "The emperor's condition cannot be hidden from anyone. He will definitely explain his funeral arrangements in the next half month. Even if the third prince has not yet thought of the exact time, when he sees that the emperor is explaining his funeral arrangements, , he will know it naturally. He does not need to know the exact time, he only needs to be prepared, and when the emperor dies, he will immediately raise troops, and everything will be nipped in the bud."

An Hewang nodded. He didn't expect that at this time, he was not as calm as a few children. He couldn't help but sigh again, and he seemed to be much older for a moment.

"I will go see the emperor immediately!"

"Hey, hey, hey." The three of them quickly grabbed him.

Cheng Qing said: "Father, you are confused. The rebels in the palace have not been settled yet."

They came here to wait for news, not to discuss matters here specifically.

An Hewang looked at Cheng Qing and said, "Qing'er, my adoptive father knows that you are very capable. Can you help me now?"

"Father, you have given me the reward. Tell me what it is. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it." Cheng Qing said.

"Keep an eye on the Third Prince for me. If there is any movement from him, let me know as soon as possible." An Hewang looked at her and said.

Cheng Qing nodded and said: "Don't worry, foster father. I will leave the third prince's side to me, and the emperor's side... just spend this time with him."

She knew that in King Anhe's heart, the emperor was not only the emperor, but also his brother. Although the royal family had no family ties, they had relied on each other for many years.

"Good boy." An Hewang nodded with tears in his eyes.
