Chapter 148 She is a poison container
Xiao Yan's eyes were slightly stern, and after a while, he spoke:
"Father, when was the picture stolen? Is there anything unusual in the palace?"
If there was an assassin, not to mention the guards guarding outside the palace, even my father's secret guards would not have been unaware of it.
This is what gives Xiao Zhang a headache. Tu disappeared for no reason, and he is the only one who has the key to the secret room.
Then there is only one possibility, the person who stole the picture is someone around him.
"No, when I went to see the picture at 12:00 yesterday, it was still there, but when I went again at noon today, it was gone."
Xiao Zhang pondered for a moment, his eyes became sharp:
"There are people with two minds around me. The defense map is related to the safety of the border. The most urgent task is to find the defense map. I have ordered people to seal off the palace, and the search will be handed over to you..."
At 5 p.m., because the emperor had lost his beloved jade pendant, the palace was sealed off and the crown prince personally led the imperial guards to search. Everyone was in a state of panic and the entire palace was shrouded in a tense atmosphere...
……
In Taolin Mountain, a hundred miles away from the capital, there is a manor with elegant and unique decorations hidden inside.
In a steaming natural hot spring with white jade walls, a man with his upper body naked is leaning against the white jade wall with his eyes closed to rest.
The man closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly, his black hair scattered casually and winding on the ground.
The meticulously carved face and every contour line seem gentle but contain a sharp chill.
His skin was cold and white, and if it weren't for the many hideous wounds crisscrossing his back and chest, it would be considered flawless.
"Sir, Yu Mo wants to see you."
A voice broke the silence.
Feather ink?
News from the palace?
The man opened his eyes, his gaze was sharp, like an eagle in the dark night, cold, arrogant and domineering, with a domineering attitude that looked down on the world.
He stood up, supporting himself on both sides with his hands with distinct knuckles, and stepped out of the hot spring with his long legs. Water droplets dripped onto the ground along the well-defined lines of his muscles, drawing a line of water as he walked.
He reached out and took a light blue robe from the hanger and put it on. The belt was loosely tied around his waist. Unlike the usual serious young general, he looked extremely lazy.
He had a head of jet-black hair, which made his facial features look even more three-dimensional.
He casually slipped on his shoes, walked to the reception room, sat in the main seat, and said:
"Let her in."
The man's voice was hoarse and a little tired.
Yu Mo pushed open the door and looked at the young man in front of him. His cheeks unconsciously became hot and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.
She held the iron box in her hands with both hands and said respectfully:
"Sir, this is the Eastern Border Defense Map that the Queen got."
The man raised his eyelids and glanced at the follower beside him.
The attendant understood and went forward to take it.
After confirming it was safe, he handed it to the man:
"Sir, no problem."
The man took it, opened the fine iron box, and took out the map inside.
When it is unfolded, what comes into view is a magnificent painting of hundreds of birds and thousands of mountains.
"The Queen said that this picture will become visible when it is heated."
"Bring me a candle."
"Yes, son."
The attendant responded and went to get a candle.
Light it up, ten fingers away from the painting of a hundred birds and a thousand mountains.
A slightly pungent smell came, and the ink dissipated, revealing the original appearance of the drawing - the East Border Defense Map.
The man looked at the landscape, important landmarks and routes above and confirmed that it was undoubtedly the East Border Defense Map.
"Well done."
The man said, putting away the blueprint in his hand, raised his head and glanced at Yu Mo who had been lowering his head, and said:
"Go back and tell your queen to find a reason to ask the emperor to remove Duke Lin from the capital."
"Yes, son."
The man waved his hand and asked her to leave.
There were only two people left in the entire living room.
The follower looked at the defense map in the man's hand, hesitated for a while, and said worriedly:
"Sir, do you really want to cooperate with the Beijue people? The Beijue people are aggressive and cruel by nature, with wolfish ambitions. If you try to get the skin of a tiger, you will probably be eaten by the tiger one day."
"This young master knows his limits."
The man's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible cruelty, and his tone was cold:
"The Beijue people are just tools we use to deal with the Xiao family. As long as the plan succeeds, the Xiao family will be destroyed."
He had been planning for more than ten years, and every step he took was like walking on the edge of a knife.
"But, sir, isn't it too risky to do this? What if the Northern Jue people turn against us and not only settle for the Eastern Territory, but also set their sights on the Northern Territory? Then the 100,000-strong Lin family army will be in great danger."
You know, there are many of their brothers in the Lin family army.
"I have my own way to deal with it. Besides, for the sake of the great cause, what does this little risk matter?"
As he spoke, the man put away the defense map, stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the peach forest outside.
The flowers are in full bloom. If Zhao Zhao were here, he would surely be very happy.
Maybe, like a naughty monkey, it rolls around in the petals all over the ground.
Just thinking of her cute appearance, the man's cold eyes softened unconsciously.
When this matter was settled, he would let her forget all the past, take her to a secluded place and hide her there.
Be a Zhao Zhao that belongs only to him...
The setting sun sinks into the branches, red as blood.
Reflected on his resolute and handsome face, the man said:
"How is Zhao Zhao's health?"
"With the medicine prescribed by the female teacher and the care of Mr. Li, the young lady has recovered a lot."
He had indeed poisoned her.
It was put in the medicine she drank, and the two snakes were just an excuse.
He asked her to go back for three purposes.
First, he wanted to use her to put a curse on Xiao Yan;
Second, he poisoned her so that she would become a container of poison. If Xiao Yan touched her, he would die suddenly.
The third is to use her death to stir up a blood feud between Duke Lin and the Xiao royal family.
To his surprise, Xiao Yan let her stay in the prince's bedroom every night and did not touch her.
Although the second one was defeated, he was more relieved in his heart. Moreover, she and he were on the same side and both wanted to pull Xiao Yan down from the position of Eastern Palace.
Next, it’s the third one.
The man turned his head and said:
"Tell Mr. Li to carry out the next plan."
