Chapter 300: Beyond the Plan
The few days after the agreement to marry Xiaoyue were calm.
He Yunxiao led a very regular life. He got up early in the morning and went to Fan Mansion. He first spent some time with Ziruo's wife, and then sent Sister Du to work. In the morning, he would either go to the Short Knife Gang or meet with Jie Yao to discuss the "fake death" plan.
He went home for lunch at noon, and went to Chu Chu to practice martial arts in the afternoon. Dinner was usually solved in Linxuan Palace. After taking medicine and accompanying Nanzhu's wife, he went home. After returning home, he had to stay at Jiang Wuyou's place.
After meeting Jie Yao twice, the "fake death" plan was completely agreed upon.
Because there was an insider of Emperor Yan in the palace, very few people knew about this plan. In the palace, only Meng Qingqian, Meng Qingrou, the Queen Mother, Jian Ling, and a few of Meng Qingqian's trusted subordinates knew about it. Among the officials, only a few Shangshu who had surrendered to Meng Qingqian, and Yang Zhe and others who were definitely not spies of Emperor Yan knew about it. Outside the palace, apart from He Yunxiao, only Jiang Wuyou knew.
Of course, from He Yunxiao's perspective, the antidote girl, who was "outside the palace", also knew.
According to the plan, Meng Qingqian would drink the "poison wine" when Jiang Wuyou was dancing with the sword, and then the poison would take effect on the spot. She would then be carried back to the palace and declared dead under the joint diagnosis of several imperial doctors. The "poison wine" she drank would be a poison prepared in advance that could temporarily cut off the pulse, so as to deceive the diagnosis of the imperial doctors.
Then, the palace would begin to mourn and prepare for a grand funeral. At this time, the truth would be informed to Wu Qinghou, so that he could start to transport troops and prepare for a counterattack. At the same time, wait for the Yan army to attack.
After the Yan army entered the heartland of Qi, the prime minister's decline was obvious, and Meng Qingqian, who had been put on hold for burial due to the war, could start to "resurrect".
Then, it was time to take power from the prime minister and select soldiers to counterattack Yan.
He Yunxiao's task is to wait until the real war, and then let him go out to brush up his military merits. It's very simple.
But He Yunxiao always feels that something is wrong.
...
Jinxianyuan.
He Yunxiao looked at the Jieyao girl opposite who was wearing men's clothes again, and said regretfully: "Miss Li, I think there is something wrong with our plan."
"Where?"
"Too smooth. Do you remember what I told you? The Emperor of Yan must have more than one way to assassinate Jiang Wuyou."
Meng Qingqian smiled and said: "If it was an assassination, you don't have to worry about it with the protection of the palace. If it was poisoned, Xiaoyue would have died by then, so why would he poison her?"
He Yunxiao asked back: "What if it was before or after the coming-of-age ceremony?"
Meng Qingqian said: "If the Emperor of Yan really had a better assassination method than Jiang Wuyou's sword dance, why did he go to so much trouble to keep Jiang Wuyou?"
He Yunxiao was speechless.
Jieyao was right, and he was indeed a little unreasonable.
No matter what, you can't be suspicious all day long just because of an intuitive guess without any basis.
Meng Qingqian looked at He Yunxiao who was thinking about her, and she felt happy for no reason.
She coughed twice, then her pretty face blushed, and said embarrassedly: "Um, He Yunxiao."
"What's wrong?"
"In a few days, it will be the coming-of-age ceremony of His Highness Xiaoyue."
"Yes."
He Yunxiao looked at Li Qingmeng who was hesitating, and felt very strange.
"Miss Li, if you have something to say, just tell me, I will definitely not show it."
Meng Qingqian took a deep breath and said with determination: "You are not allowed to go to His Highness Xiaoyue's coming-of-age ceremony."
He Yunxiao:?
"Why? Do you know that she is going to marry me? I haven't even seen her face until now. Her coming-of-age ceremony...Is it okay for me to go and take a look?"
The reason why Meng Qingqian didn't let He Yunxiao go to the coming-of-age ceremony was very simple. If he went to the coming-of-age ceremony and saw herself, the fact that Meng Qingqian and Li Qingmeng were the same person would be completely exposed. What awaits her then is ultimate social death. And social death in front of many people.
Meng Qingqian blushed, "Marrying you is just a temporary measure. You must not take it seriously."
He Yunxiao did not take it seriously, but he really wanted to see Meng Qingqian.
It has been quite a while since he traveled to the novel, but he has not even seen Meng Qingqian, the eldest princess of Xiaoyue, one of the most important female characters in the original book. It would be embarrassing to say it out.
"No, I just want to see what Meng Qingqian looks like."
The real owner sat opposite He Yunxiao, blushing and at a loss.
"What's so good about her? She's just that."
He Yunxiao looked at the antidote girl and teased her, "As the eldest princess, Meng Qingqian can't be worse than Miss Li, right?"
Meng Qingqian didn't care about blushing when she heard this, and immediately questioned He Yunxiao, "What's wrong with me, am I not pretty!?"
He Yunxiao spread his hands, "The girl is as beautiful as a fairy."
"Me! You!" Meng Qingqian was furious.
"Why," He Yunxiao said with a smile, "Am I wrong?"
"Yes. But you are not allowed to go to Xiaoyue's coming-of-age ceremony." Meng Qingqian blushed, pinched the bell, and said clearly word by word.
"No, I went to see what she looks like, so what? She won't lose a piece of meat." He Yunxiao was confused by the sudden "not allowed to go" of the antidote.
"I said you are not allowed to go, so you are not allowed to go. There is no reason." Meng Qingqian also knew that she was in the wrong, but she had no choice but to order He Yunxiao forcefully.
Hearing the antidote girl's tone that was almost like a girlfriend playing rogue, He Yunxiao laughed angrily.
If the key antidote really confirmed the relationship with him, then He Yunxiao would not go, but now although the two have a good impression, they have not confirmed the relationship at all, how can he listen to her?
"No, I must go."
He Yunxiao did not give in.
Meng Qingqian on the other side was about to say something, but suddenly frowned and fell on the table.
He Yunxiao looked at her and still did not let go, "Miss Li, it's useless for you to learn to be a rogue like me, I have no shame."
But immediately, He Yunxiao found something wrong. Li Qingmeng was actually unable to get up, and her breathing was weak, it seemed that something really happened.
Although He Yunxiao kept saying that he didn't want to attack, but after getting along with her for this period of time, if he said that he had no feelings for Li Qingmeng, it would be absolutely a lie. Now that Li Qingmeng was in trouble, He Yunxiao became anxious. He rushed to her side and helped her up and leaned on him.
"Miss Li! Miss Li, wake up!"
Meng Qingqian only felt sore and tired all over, as if she had lost all her strength, even the strength to breathe and heartbeat was gradually disappearing.
"He Yunxiao, you are not allowed to go..."
At this time, He Yunxiao had already discovered that Li Qingmeng was not right, and was anxious and irritable, so he had no time to argue with her.
"Okay, okay, I promise you, Qingmeng, how do you feel now?"
"I'm so tired... I don't want to talk... I want to sleep..."
"Qingmeng, don't sleep! Hang on! I'll find a way right away!"
He Yunxiao didn't know medical skills, so he couldn't tell whether Li Qingmeng was poisoned at the moment, but she said she was very tired. Could he use the skill "Misfortune and Fortune Dependence" given by Zi Ruo's wife to deliver some strength to her?
Misfortune and Fortune Dependence! Start!
It doesn't matter if Misfortune and Fortune Dependence is not started. Once it is started, He Yunxiao instantly finds something wrong.
Li Qingmeng's status bar actually has a "toxicity" item like Jiang Wuyou!
Moreover, in the toxic content, it was clearly written "Strange Poison: Egret"!
