Chapter 443 Xier, so naive
Seeing the prince so anxious, Tao Kangping's mouth drooped and he looked completely depressed.
Lin Mu's face was gentle and her smile grew wider as she looked at Gu Nianting.
"What King Di Jin calls a good medicine is actually something that harms people. It does have an immediate effect, but for Madam Xie, it only relieves pain, not cures the disease, and it may even damage your body."
"Only people with superb medical skills, such as Princess Yuexi and Lord An, the head of the Imperial Hospital, can detect the effects of this medicine. Ordinary doctors must wait until the actual effects of the medicine are revealed before they can see the difference."
"I was not talented enough to notice anything unusual until I heard the guard, Lord Gao, accidentally let it slip. Then I knew the truth. He said that this matter was top secret and not even Princess Yuexi knew about it. He also asked me to keep it secret and not tell anyone else."
Gu Nianting listened carefully, without missing a single word, understood the meaning, and summarized the questions.
"You mean, the uncle took advantage of Madam Xie's illness to win over Xi'er. Xi'er is still kept in the dark?"
Lin Mu put away his smile and nodded seriously.
"It is also."
He unravelled the matter and analyzed it in detail.
"Prince Dijin has taken all the benefits in this matter."
"Not only can we win the heart of Princess Yuexi, but we can also seize Yin Sitai. Even if the truth comes out one day, Lord Xie will only blame the princess for using the medicine recklessly and cut off all ties with her. And Prince Dijin, who stays out of the matter and keeps himself out of trouble, can still own Yin Sitai."
His intonation is just right, making people feel like they are there.
"In order to prevent the princess from seeing through the effect of the medicine, Prince Di Jin has been trying his best to prevent Madam Xie from meeting her."
"When the country is restored to its former glory, the value of Princess Yuexi will be exhausted. Only then will he reveal his true colors, abandoning the princess and marrying another woman. Together, they will look down upon the magnificent mountains and rivers."
As if he were in the story, Gu Nianting was filled with indignation. He slammed the folding fan in his hand on the table, and in such anger that the fan broke into two pieces.
"How dare he lie to Xi'er like this? I'm so angry!"
Thinking of Xier's miserable scene of being abandoned, he felt so pity and distressed that he almost cried out loud.
"Xi'er, how could you be so naive to believe his sweet words and treacherous heart? I am really sad that she is so foolish..."
Lin Mu echoed and made up stories about Yan Yu's flaws to please Gu Nianting.
"Prince Di Jin is devoted to the government, unlike the prince who is caring and righteous. He is always hypocritical in his treatment of others, and his reputation for benevolence and righteousness is not worthy of the reality."
"It was because Princess Yuexi longed for the beauty of love that he took advantage of her and deliberately showed his sincerity. The princess mistakenly thought that he was in love with her and naturally trusted her without a doubt."
Having said this, he ignited a passion, like a blazing fire phoenix, soaring into the sky, trying to dominate Gu Nianting's mood.
"Now, as long as the prince can expose the tricks of King Dijin and make Lord Xie wake up, then he will come to surrender. Once Lord Xie arrives, Lord Teng will be defeated without a fight."
"The most important one is Princess Yuexi. She is in dire straits and is suffering all the time. It is imperative that Your Majesty saves her. Once she is saved, the princess will be able to forgive Your Majesty in no time."
His consciousness was almost controlled by him, and Gu Nianting was instantly full of fighting spirit.
"You are right. I must save her."
"Excuse me, how can we save him?"
Lin Mu reached into his sleeve, took out an exquisite brocade box, and opened it to show what was inside.
"Since I changed my mind, I have started to develop an antidote and a cure. Your Majesty, please read this."
There was only a pill lying quietly in the box. Gu Nianting glanced at it and couldn't wait to ask.
"Antidote, how to use it?"
Lin Mu's enthusiasm remained unabated, and he was as raging as a dragon, as if Gu Nianting had already taken control of the world.
“Just take it with water.”
"Madam Xie, after taking this medicine, your body recovered from the pain in a cup of tea. The evil intentions of King Di Jin are fully revealed!"
He spoke eloquently and explained the strategy in detail.
"Your Majesty, can you do this..."
After hearing this, Tao Kangping looked painful.
After hearing this, Gu Nianting's face lit up.
"Master Lin is not only an expert in medicine, but also has an ingenious plan!"
"Now that all the work is over, Lord Xie must have returned to the Xie Mansion. I will go visit him and tell him the truth."
Knowing that it was useless to stop him, Tao Kangping still held on to a glimmer of hope. He stood in front of the prince and tried tirelessly to dissuade him by bowing.
"Your Majesty..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Gu Nianting.
"Shut up."
"Lord Geng risked his life for you. Don't you want to save him?"
Tao Kangping's flat face interpretation is helpless and miserable.
"But this is obviously another false surrender. How can the prince help outsiders to plot against me and Lord Geng? We are loyal to the prince and have never had any second thoughts. You should use this as a trick instead of plotting against us."
"It's even more ridiculous. The other side pretended to surrender, and even asked Your Majesty to come and invite you, and guide you step by step into the beautiful dream they have woven. Your Majesty is unaware of it, so how can you still enjoy it?"
"These are all dreams, not reality. Your Majesty, please open your eyes and see clearly!"
Having advised him so far, he thought his analogy was appropriate and the prince might understand it. Unexpectedly, he was suddenly pinched hard by the prince on the arm.
He cried out in pain and subconsciously took two steps back.
"what!"
Gu Nianting asked with anger in his eyes.
"Does it hurt?"
Tao Kangping answered truthfully.
"pain."
Gu Nianting continued to ask questions.
"Does dreaming hurt?"
Tao Kangping was furious that he couldn't understand such a simple metaphor, but he could understand Lin Mu's long speech.
"I mean..."
Gu Nianting interrupted again.
"Are you standing idly by and deliberately not saving Lord Geng?"
Tao Kangping couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Sir Geng will naturally save him."
Gu Nianting looked at him coldly and gave an order.
"Then get out of the way and don't block my way."
Tao Kangping was extremely tired and bitter.
The word "road" has a double meaning, referring to both the road to Xie's mansion and the road to the prince's court.
He knew it well. The prince had been well-educated since childhood. How could he not understand his analogy? He just didn't trust him.
He really didn't understand. After working on paperwork for many years, how could he be defeated by Lin Mu, a newcomer?
Are the words of treacherous people really so sweet to hear?
After thinking about it, his voice became weaker and weaker. He looked ahead at the road ahead and felt lost.
"Your Majesty, think twice, Lord Geng, this is not the way to save someone."
Gu Nianting was already tired of his advice, and without any hesitation, he threatened him.
"If you continue to try to stop me, how about I secretly send an assassin to kill Lord Geng directly, so that he won't suffer in there?"
Tao Kangping suddenly became furious.
"you!"
Gu Nianting acted disgusted and argued confidently.
"What am I?"
"Lord Geng risked his life for his own good. How brave! You are so heartless. You hesitate and don't even want to save him."
"If you have anything to say, you can go back home and complain. I have been listening to you since I was a child, and my ears are calloused. It's very annoying."
Tao Kangping was speechless after being scolded by him.
"I……"
Gu Nianting was arrogant and unwilling to take the detour, so he pushed him away and walked out of the hall.
