Chapter 152 Determined to Get Rid of It
Yun Boyu was anxious, aggrieved, and worried, and it all turned into a sigh.
After signaling his attendants to leave, he responded sincerely.
"Alliance Master Qi misunderstood."
"The dispute between you and me has been going on for decades. Although we seem to be hostile to each other, we actually help each other and are both enemies and friends."
"A few days ago, I overheard that someone wanted to harm you. I was wondering whether I should tell you or not, and I was in a dilemma, so I delayed your martial arts training."
"The other party is from the imperial court. I seem to have given myself away when I was eavesdropping. If I come here in a hurry, I'm afraid he will notice something unusual. I have no choice but to find an excuse to compete in advance and pay a visit."
Zhong Hua's eyes were startled, and at the same time covered with a hint of confusion.
"Is this true?"
"Who intends to harm me?"
Yun Boyu nodded firmly.
"really."
"The one with the intention is King Chen."
"You know, I have my own territory near Shengjing Xinglin Hall."
"That day, I heard that something happened in a shop, so I went to check it out. When I passed by Xinglin Hall, I vaguely heard your name. I thought it was related to the sect, so out of curiosity, I stopped to listen..."
As he spoke, he reconstructed a conversation that had been fabricated out of thin air.
In Xinglin Hall, Yan Yu and Gu Nianting treated the people together.
After a busy day, Yan Yu and others left one after another. To show his sincerity, Gu Nianting and his bodyguard Wu Yan took the initiative to stay overnight to boil medicine.
Thinking that there was no one around late at night, they spoke in a more casual manner.
When Yun Boyu arrived, they had already started talking.
I don’t know what Wu Yan heard, but he was suddenly shocked.
"So the prince's intention is not only to deal with Princess Yuexi, but also to get rid of Alliance Leader Qi?"
"But Zhong Fumeng had no other intentions, so why did the prince kill him?"
Gu Nianting's cold face reflected the moonlight, and his smile seemed even colder.
"From the very beginning, I had no intention of leaving him alive."
Wu Yan gave serious advice.
"Among the martial arts sects, Zhong Fumeng is one of the best and his strength should not be underestimated. I think that the power of martial arts is not easy to come by, so keeping Master Qi will be useful in the future."
"I dare to speak so rudely, but please think twice, Your Majesty."
Gu Nianting was pounding the medicine while chatting about the pros and cons.
"That's a bad word."
"Looking at the situation at court, I will definitely get rid of him."
"In the early years of the Zhong family, they were very popular and powerful. But later on, they had a rift with the emperor, and their situation went from bad to worse, leading to the decline of the family."
"For the sake of the people of the world, I had no choice but to secretly cause the fire in Prince Chen's mansion, and with the help of Prince Dijin and Ning Yunxi, I ended my loving mother's life, and took the opportunity to recognize Imperial Concubine Yi as my adoptive mother."
"Unexpectedly, my second uncle reacted quickly and learned the truth. I had no choice but to plan to exterminate the Zhong and Yao clans and naturally take over the Zhongfu Alliance."
"My intention is not to recruit them for my own use, but to take advantage of the opportunity to get closer and eliminate the Zhongfu Alliance. I want to strike first before they find out the truth."
"In addition, they know the whole story of the doctor's plan. What if they accidentally let it slip? Or, they already know the truth and are using it to help the king, trying to use it as evidence to end the whole thing."
"How can I do as he wishes?"
"Ning Yunxi will not live long. King Di Jin will fall without a fight. As I am on the verge of victory, I will not allow any mistakes to happen."
Wu Yan understood the meaning and nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness has great foresight, and I, Ma Chen, am no match for him."
"I just don't know how to start."
"In my humble opinion, we should not rush into this matter. If we act directly in the name of the prince, if we fail, we may end up adding fuel to the fire."
Gu Nianting was as calm as a mountain, and his eyes were sure of success.
"I can use one of the tricks of using medicine to cause trouble. I can pretend to faint because of King Di Jin's trick. He can also secretly increase the dosage of the medicine I have prepared."
"Then, send it to their homes..."
Wu Yan raised an objection.
"In order to cooperate with the plan, it is true that they are seriously ill. In order to prevent any accidents, they have been quietly cured after being examined by Prince Dijin. The prince ordered that if anyone investigates them carefully, they should take medicine in time and pretend to be sick."
"Now, we just send the medicine over. They don't have to pretend to be sick. They won't drink the medicine at all."
"So, what should we do?"
Gu Nianting gave a solution.
"When the time is right, you will use the name of King Di Jin to tell the pharmacist that the medicine is bitter and that you will delay their treatment. You must watch them drink it with your own eyes before you can leave with peace of mind."
"When they saw this, they didn't know the medicine was unclean and just wanted to avoid being exposed, so they naturally took the medicine."
"By the way, remember that nothing can happen to the He Wo family."
"He has the talent to cultivate the land, and is considered my confidant. Sooner or later, he will be appointed as an official and serve me."
Wu Yan responded respectfully.
"I obey my orders."
At this point, Yun Boyu finished his narration and turned to ask questions in confusion.
"What does the government have to do with the martial arts world? Why did you join the King of Chen?"
"And the extermination of the Zhong and Yao clans, what does that have to do with you?"
"Could it be that just because Zhong Fumeng's name seems to imply his willingness to go through fire and water for the Zhong clan, the King of Chen decided to eliminate him?"
"This is too much of a bullying. Isn't this just false accusation?"
While listening attentively, Zhong Hua was at first in disbelief, and then he smiled bitterly.
After listening to it, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"I see."
“That’s actually the truth.”
"I'm such a fool."
"Haha, that's so stupid."
Yun Boyu pretended to be ignorant.
"What do you mean?"
"Did you really participate in the affairs of the court?"
"why?"
"You and I are both doing well in the martial arts world, so why would we get involved in a cage fight?"
"That kind of place is unpredictable. How can you and I, ordinary people, have a place to stand?"
Zhong Hua was so heartbroken that she wanted to cry but had no tears. She responded with a heavy face and waved her hands.
"Stop asking."
"There are some things I really can't say clearly."
"In the early years, I accidentally overheard your conversation with your allies and learned that you were Yun Baiyu of the Yun Clan. I told you about this. I know that you are a loyal person and will definitely not deceive me."
"Without your honest words, the Zhongfu Alliance would have ceased to exist."
As he spoke, he was already kneeling on the ground with his fists clasped, speaking in a serious tone.
"I am Qi Zeyi, and I want to thank Alliance Leader Bai for saving my life!"
Yun Boyu was startled and quickly helped him up.
"What are you doing?"
"It's just a small favor, nothing to worry about."
"When you are in the underworld, you should help others for justice. It is my duty to save you."
"By the way, how do you plan to save yourself?"
"In my opinion, you can report it to the Yinsitai, and only when the prince is too busy to take care of himself, will you have a chance to escape."
Zhong Hua lowered his eyes and nodded, still feeling a little lonely and heartbroken.
"For now, this is really the only solution."
"After I gather the evidence, I will take the bell with me and go to the Yinsitai to sue the King of Chen for taking human life lightly and expose the truth of the medical disaster."
Using the excuse of collecting evidence is actually still a hope of getting away with it.
After all, he and Gu Nianting are uncle and nephew.
He didn't want to believe and didn't dare to face the fact that his child, who had watched him grow up year after year, was so heartless in order to seize power.
Unless Gu Nianting really sends a pharmacist to deliver the deadly medicine...
