Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 233 Cooperation
"Your Majesty, let's go in and talk." Cheng Qing made a 'please' gesture.

Zhao Wuye nodded, "Okay."

The two entered the imperial study, closed the door, and stood facing each other.

Zhao Wuye said: "Okay, now just tell me what conditions you have."

"I hope that we have a cooperative relationship, not a master-slave relationship." Cheng Qing looked at him and said.

"You want to be on an equal footing with me?" There was a hint of danger in Zhao Wuye's tone.

"Your Majesty, how can you think like this?" Cheng Qing said: "You are the most powerful person in the world. Who dares to be on an equal footing with you? I have already said that this is cooperation."

"What benefits do you want to gain from cooperating with me?" Zhao Wuye asked.

Cheng Qing laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "What good is it? Your Majesty, no matter how important the world is, Bai Xiuyuan is not as important as me. I am really tired of this place, so I will cooperate with the Emperor. I will help you to stabilize this world. What about you, When the time comes, let me and Xiu Yuan leave, we will find a place with green mountains and green waters to live in seclusion."

Zhao Wuye saw the flash of longing in her eyes and confirmed that she was not lying.

"Okay, I promise you, I will let you go when the time comes."

As for how to leave, that's up to me.

Cheng Qing heard his last refreshing words. She knew his true temperament, how could she not know that he was very likely to commit suicide?
But that's okay.

Zhao Wuye gave her a box and said, "I don't know where Bai Xiuyuan is. This is the antidote. The rest is up to you."

Cheng Qing took it and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

Zhao Wuye nodded.

Cheng Qing took the antidote and left in a hurry.

Zhao Wuye looked at her leaving figure with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Cheng Qing, do you think I would really be so kind to help you?As long as Bai Xiuyuan takes this antidote, you will have to be at my mercy.

……

Cheng Qing first went to the military camp, and then took Qiu Yan Qiulan back to the Taishi Mansion.

When he arrived at the Taishi Mansion, Cheng Qing went directly into the study.

Qiu Yan and Qiu Lan followed suit.

"Miss, what's the matter that we can't talk about in the military camp and we have to come back?" Qiu Yan said, rubbing her stomach that hurt from running.

Cheng Qing gave her the elixir in his hand and said, "This is the antidote that Zhao Wuye gave me. Can you tell anything about it?"

Qiu Yan took the box, opened it and took out the elixir inside. He smelled it first, then frowned and said, "Miss, I can't see it right now. I have to take it to study it first."

Cheng Qing nodded and said: "Don't worry about this matter. If you can't figure it out through research, just get a mouse or something to eat and see what happens after taking the 'antidote'."

"Yes." Qiu Yan went down.

Cheng Qing turned to Qiulan and said, "Now send a message to Qiu Yufei Ge and tell him that if my brother and Bai Xiuyuan really can't come back, call him back."

"Yes." Qiulan responded respectfully and went down.

Cheng Qing was suddenly the only one left in the study.

She walked to the table and sat down, thinking about recent events.

Their speculations were now completely shattered by an imperial edict from the emperor.

The preparations made are now of no use.

But the emperor went around, the ultimate goal is to want Zhao Wuyuan to be the emperor.

After all, it is a scheming plan, and it is different when you make a move.

Now that she has given them a little chance to breathe, she can turn light into darkness and change the previous situation.

Zhao Wuye and Zhao Wujue were involved because of their interests.So now that Zhao Wuye has become the emperor, he has reached Zhao Wujue's bottom line.

When Zhao Wujue comes to the palace, he will definitely ask Zhao Wuye for an explanation first.

And the best chance is tonight.

Cheng Qing looked at the sky outside.

It is already evening now, and it will be dark in a little while.

She stood up and ran outside.

……

in the palace.

Under the silence, almost everyone was in panic.

Masters were dying one after another, and many people were already afraid.

Especially at night, it always feels like those masters are back.

Those who have said bad things behind the backs of these masters all prayed to God and prayed to the Buddha, and the sutras in their mouths kept coming.

Even now that Zhao Wuye is sitting on the throne, the pressure lingering in their hearts has not been dissipated, and it has become even more intense.

After Cheng Qing returned to the palace, many palace maids and eunuchs looked wrong along the way.

She wanted to get someone to ask, but as soon as she got the person, he almost knelt down in fear, his body was trembling, and he begged her for mercy.

Seeing this phenomenon, Cheng Qing was both amused and a little baffled.

But she really felt the oppression in the palace.

If this haze is not dispelled as soon as possible, many people in the palace will definitely go crazy over time.

Thinking of this, she couldn't laugh again.

Cheng Qing followed what he had in mind and went to see Zhao Wuye first.

Zhao Wuye was so busy with matters after he ascended the throne that he almost didn't even bother to eat.

When Cheng Qing left, the meal was placed on the table in the imperial study room, untouched.

"Your Majesty, why don't you eat something first? Can you bear it?"

Zhao Wuye said without raising his head: "You are here, what can I do?"

Cheng Qing sighed and said, "Your Majesty, tell me, didn't I just want to cooperate with you? I have to show some sincerity in cooperation."

Zhao Wuye raised his head, looked at her, couldn't help but smile, and said: "You? Tell me about your sincerity in cooperation? Okay, tell me, what kind of sincerity can you show?"

Cheng Qing touched his chin and said, "I can try to persuade the fourth prince to submit to you. In this way, you will have one less competitor, right?"

"You would be so kind?" Zhao Wuye raised his eyebrows and asked.

Cheng Qing also raised his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, you don't believe me, so why are you talking about cooperation?"

"You know that the eldest prince is back, right?" Zhao Wuye said.

Cheng Qing nodded and said: "Isn't he already a monk? Could it be that this time he comes... Your Majesty, I said, now is a very good opportunity."

"Oh? What opportunity?" Zhao Wuye became interested.

Cheng Qing made gestures on his neck with his hand and said: "As long as it clicks, he is no longer a threat. And think about it, he brought this to his door himself. Such a good opportunity, if he doesn't take it well, If he is caught, it will be difficult to kill him in the future."

Zhao Wuye looked at her and said with a faint smile: "Cheng Qing, you are so bold. You dare to talk about killing my brother in front of me. Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"

Cheng Qing stepped forward and said: "I am doing this all for the sake of your Majesty. Think about it, the purpose of the eldest prince's return must not be simple."
