Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 214 Taking Poison

Zhao Wujue's smile deepened and he said: "That's right, of course I won't embarrass Mr. Bai. There is still plenty of time now, so Mr. Bai will think about it slowly. Then... is one night enough?"

"Thank you, that's enough." Bai Xiuyuan said.

Sure enough, this guy only talks more when he mentions Cheng Qing.Zhao Wujue knew what was going on, so there was no need to stay any longer.

"Master Bai, think about it slowly, I, the prince, will leave first."

"Farewell to the eldest prince." Bai Xiuyuan bowed respectfully.

Zhao Wujue patted his shoulder and left.

Bai Xiuyuan watched him leave, then continued to look at the rainy scenery. He moved the hands in his sleeves and quietly used up his internal energy.

Zhao Wujue, who walked out of a round arch, looked back at Bai Xiuyuan, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Turning around the corridor, Taoist Master Qinghui is here.

"Wujue, how's it going?"

Zhao Wujue smiled and said: "Uncle, just watch, he will definitely go back to find Cheng Qing."

Taoist Master Qinghui looked over at Bai Xiuyuan, who was watching the rainy scene without knowing anything about it, and asked, "But what if he leaves and never looks back?"

Zhao Wujue said: "No."

"How can you be so sure?" Taoist Master Qinghui asked.

"To test his loyalty, I will give him a poison tomorrow." Zhao Wujue said.

"Poison? You mean Qi Ming Pill?" Daoist Qinghui asked.

"Yes, Qi Ming Dan is the only poison that even a miracle doctor can't do anything about. I heard that Cheng Yue is a master of medicine. I don't believe that his medical skills can be better than that of a miracle doctor?" Zhao Wujue said.

Taoist Master Qinghui nodded and said: "Indeed, this should be the only way to control Bai Xiuyuan."

"He is very cunning and not easy to control, so you have to watch him take the medicine." A sharp light flashed in Zhao Wujue's eyes.

Here, Bai Xiuyuan dissipated his power and looked at the rain scene, the expression on his face did not change at all.

……

The next day, the sky cleared.

Zhao Wujue came to Bai Xiuyuan early.

Before Bai Xiuyuan had breakfast, he first saw the poison in Zhao Wujue's hand.

"You eat this. As long as you eat it, I will believe you."

Zhao Wujue spoke very simply. Bai Xiuyuan glanced at it, received it very simply, and ate it directly.

Seeing him eating so happily, Zhao Wujue smiled and said, "If you eat so happily, aren't you afraid that it is poison that penetrates the intestines?"

Bai Xiuyuan curled his lips coldly, and said, "If you don't believe me, why not eat it?"

Zhao Wujue's expression changed, then he smiled and said, "Isn't it necessary to be cautious?"

"If the eldest prince has no other arrangements, I will take my leave." Bai Xiuyuan cupped his hands and left directly.

Zhao Wujue looked at his back and said, "You must come back within three days, otherwise, you will die of poison."

three days?

Bai Xiuyuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he left without replying.

"This Bai Xiuyuan doesn't take people seriously." Qinghui walked to the door and said.

Zhao Wujue smiled and said, "What does that matter, as long as he can be used by us, that's enough."

The Bai family is the richest man in Nanzhou, and Bai Xiuyuan is the current head of the family. As long as he is the head of the family, funding will no longer be a problem.

Bai Xiuyuan left the mansion alone, took one last look here, turned around and left.

……

Cheng Yue, who had nothing to do in the Grand Master's Mansion in Anping City, was basking in the early morning sun when suddenly a pigeon flew over.

He sat up quickly.

He took the note off the pigeon's lap and saw the content inside. He stood up and shouted outside: "Qiulan Qiuyu Qiuyan." "Here it comes."

Three people ran over from three directions.

I ran to him and stood in a row.

"What's your order, master?"

Cheng Yue said: "Qiu Yu is coming with me. Qiu Lan Qiu Yan is staying at the house. If my sister comes back, tell her that I have been out for a few days for something, but I will be back soon."

"Yes."

"Master, where are you going?" Qiu Yan asked.

Cheng Yue said: "Don't ask about this matter. When my sister comes back, just do what I say."

"Oh, yes." Qiuyan didn't dare to disobey his words, and complied.

Cheng Yue stood up and said, "Qiu Yu, hurry up and prepare your horse."

"Yes." Qiu Yu went immediately.

Cheng Yue walked towards his house.

Qiu Yan and Qiu Lan looked at each other.

……

In the palace, Cheng Qing was summoned to the emperor's bedroom early in the morning.

Being alone with the emperor in his palace again, Cheng Qing didn't know what kind of expression he should make at this moment.

"Cough cough cough."

Cheng Qing looked at the emperor who had turned gray and had lost his human shape in just ten days. He couldn't help but sighed and said, "Your Majesty, how do you feel now?"

The emperor slowly showed a wry smile, and said in a slow and heavy tone: "How can I still feel? I am already dying, and I am afraid I won't be able to hold on in just these two days."

"Your Majesty." Cheng Qing frowned. Although he had made a lot of speculations about the Emperor's death in private before, seeing him like this now made him feel a little unbearable.

"Qing'er, the only thing I'm not willing to accept is that I gave birth to you more than twenty years earlier. If I were about the same age as you, I would never let you go." The emperor stared at her face greedily, as if he couldn't see it if he didn't look at it again. As if looking at her.

Cheng Qing pursed his lips and said nothing.Keep telling yourself that the person in front of you is already terminally ill, so don’t fight with him.

"Actually, the person I'm most sorry for is you. I obviously like you, but I still can't take advantage of you." The emperor said as he struggled to take out an imperial edict.

Cheng Qing saw it and quickly went to pick it up.

The emperor looked at her tenderly and said: "This imperial edict is my last gift to you. When the fourth child ascends the throne and becomes emperor, you can leave the palace."

Cheng Qing unfolded it and read ten lines at a glance.

The content inside was about removing her from the position of commander of the Royal Forest Army, and specifically stated that no one was allowed to embarrass her and let her go free.

Cheng Qing looked at it with mixed feelings in his heart.

He took advantage of her and tried his best to compensate her.

No matter what, the final content is what she wants, to set her free.

Cheng Qing took two steps back and bowed respectfully to the emperor.

"Cheng Qing thanked the Emperor!"

The emperor's dull eyes still held a hint of smile as he said, "Get up quickly."

Cheng Qing stood up.

The emperor's eyes did not leave her for a moment, and said: "Qing'er, remember my words, as soon as the fourth child ascends the throne, you should leave as soon as possible. Don't stay in Anping City."

This sentence set off a warning in Cheng Qing's heart, "Your Majesty..."

"Just do as I say." The emperor interrupted her and stopped her from continuing to ask.

Cheng Qing frowned. Although she didn't know what he was referring to, she felt that she could rather believe it or not.

"Yes, I made a note of it."
