[Host, did you do it on purpose?]
Seeing Qin Mo's dark face, which was as dark as the bottom of a pot, the system 999, who was confused before, suddenly reacted.
[You already guessed that the poisoner is here?]
"if not?"
Yuan didn't ask a rhetorical question, so he picked up a piece of candied fruit and put it in his mouth. Only then did the lingering bitter taste fade a bit.
The original body's poisoning did not happen overnight, these imperial physicians who have been in charge of his physical condition should be the clearest, but none of them detected the poison in his body. This already explains a few things.
It's either that the poisoner is superb, and these imperial physicians are useless; or the poisoner himself is hidden among the imperial physicians, and his medical skills are very sophisticated, using special means to cover up the poison in the original body, so that other imperial physicians cannot diagnose it; or , the seven imperial physicians all had problems and they shielded each other.
In comparison, the second possibility is naturally the highest.
In view of this, Yuan Buwei deliberately pretended to be poisonous and came here directly, catching everyone by surprise.
The reason for the poisoning was naturally that the loyal and loyal Commander Qin accidentally discovered that the imperial physicians had something wrong with them, and informed His Highness the Crown Prince about it. As a result, His Highness the Crown Prince was shocked and angry, and his emotions were affected.
System 999 sorted out his thoughts excitedly.
[The person who poisoned the host with this trick must have never expected that 6 has been turned over! All the while pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, he directly forced the palace. If there are really poisoners among these imperial doctors, they must be panicked. However, what if he just keeps shrinking and doesn't take action to detoxify the host?]
"It depends on whether he is more loyal to the mastermind behind the scenes... or he values his own life more. Either he is detoxified, or he is hacked to death by the irrational prince under the poison. It is not difficult to choose."
Yuan Wuwei was very calm, picked up another piece of candied fruit and put it in his mouth, the corners of his lips slightly curled up, revealing a satisfied arc.
... He believed that there were indeed people in this world who put life and death aside and didn't care about their own lives, but he didn't believe that such people were everywhere, and he bumped into them one after another.
What's more, there is a way to cherish life, and there is a way to not be afraid of death. Sometimes, the loyalty of the enemy can also be exploited.
But now it seems that this person is obviously saving his life. But there is no need to resort to other means.
However, this person is also smart. Although he is pity on his life, he knows that taking out the antidote will immediately reveal his identity as the poisoner.
Therefore, this person first withdrew the small means of covering up the poisoned state of the original, so that other imperial physicians could diagnose the poisoning of the original, and he was not conspicuous among the imperial physicians.
Then, he calmly led all the imperial physicians to think of a way together, and brainstormed together to come up with a detoxification plan...
Finally, after some "discussion", all the imperial physicians finally came up with a prescription that can temporarily suppress the toxin in a short period of time, but treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
Everything is so natural, it is perfect.
None of the imperial physicians present noticed this man's calm guidance, and thought that the final suppression of the poison on Yuan Buwei's body was entirely due to their own rich experience and clever and wise minds.
Except for Yuan Buwei who has been silently observing.
——If he hadn't guessed that there was such a poisoner, it would be equivalent to knowing that the murderer was among the crowd, so he was vigilant first, and observed from beginning to end in secret, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to see that there was something wrong with this person.
The most interesting thing is that it was originally a long-term latent chronic toxin. After the man concealed it, in the end, the other imperial physicians came to the conclusion that the poisoning time did not exceed three hours.
At that time, Yuan Buwei was in the Dachang Princess' mansion.
In this way, the statement that "the imperial doctors poisoned the prince while he was healing" is purely "Qin Mo's slander", and it is clear that His Royal Highness the prince was tricked when he went out to the banquet today.
In this way, not only were all the imperial physicians innocent, but they even helped the prince detoxify, which can be regarded as meritorious service.
— This hand really picked himself up clean!
After sorting out the cause and effect again, Yuan couldn't help sighing, and swallowed another mouthful of candied fruit.
"... What a smart guy."
Not only is he smart, but his medical skills are also boundless. At least enough to hang those imperial doctors up and beat them!
[Hey, no matter how smart you are, the host will see it through, right? Guess he hasn't found out yet?]
System 999 became much better after being severely beaten by the little black house, and immediately started to laugh.
[Host, you simply used one trick to pretend to be crazy, so that the poisoner had to take the initiative to detoxify, revealing his identity; Qin Mo's secret work was also blamed for leaking secrets, which is hard to argue with; once it gets out, Maybe it will make the mastermind behind the scenes doubt Qin Mo's loyalty... 666, this has to kill several birds with one stone? Really learned, learned.]
In the past, the hosts bound to system 999 were either all self-sufficient, foolish and sweet people who were fooled by it; Operate such a showy host.
Many things are always exciting to do for the first time, even if it is the first time watching others do it. At this time, the system 999 was inexplicably excited.
But when it recovered from this excitement, the excitement cooled down, and it suddenly reacted.
[Wait, what's wrong...]
... It seems, it seems, probably, it should be a villain whitewashing system, right
And this host let alone cleansing up, just looking at the choice he made in a flash, he traveled to this world for half a day, and he almost broke the mentality of others... It is even darker than the original villain :).
Is there any hope of completing its villain's whitewashing mission
... Doubt the Tongsheng Orz.
For a while, System 999 fell into silence.
·
However, at this time, it was not only System 999 who was stimulated by Yuan Buwei to shut himself up, but also Qin Mo.
Of course, Qin Mo would not understand the things that System 999 could figure out, and he even thought of more.
Under the angry stares of all the imperial doctors, his heart sank, and the blood in his whole body was completely cold.
At this time, he has been pushed into an extremely unfavorable situation by His Highness the crown prince.
Once the news of what happened in the Shenwu Great General's Mansion today spreads, the person behind the scenes will naturally make up the cause and effect of this incident—
After nine years of company with His Royal Highness, the relationship has grown deeper and deeper. Qin Mo, who was originally a meticulous worker, was gradually shaken in his heart and struggled to rest.
To this day, after learning that His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly became poisoned in the Princess Mansion and almost killed someone, Qin Mo finally couldn't bear the condemnation of his conscience anymore, so he informed His Highness the Crown Prince about the strange poison in his body.
The prince was furious when he heard the words, and in anger, he became poisonous, and then he raised his knife and killed Yuanzhi Pavilion.
However, because Qin Mo didn't want to completely betray the old master behind the scenes, he only pretended that he broke through the poisoning of the prince by accident, and never revealed the careful arrangements of the people behind the scenes...
Tsk, in this way, an image of a person struggling between the old master and the new master, who is affectionate and righteous, but loyalty and righteousness cannot be balanced, was immediately erected.
However, Qin Mo didn't want this image at all.
This is clearly a plan to alienate His Highness the Crown Prince deliberately. Seems simple, but surprisingly effective.
The most terrible thing was that Qin Mo couldn't prove his innocence at all.
The content of the conversation between the two in the study is unknown to outsiders. Even Qin Mo himself couldn't explain it. If he hadn't told His Highness the Crown Prince, how would His Highness know that he was poisoned
If this matter got to that person's ears, he didn't dare to speculate whether that person would still believe him.
Once the other party has the slightest doubt in his heart, worrying that Qin Mo will continue to "soft-heartedly leak secrets", spoil the big event, and even turn against the prince one day in the future... Then Qin Mo's fate can be imagined.
Now all the news is still sealed in the Mansion of the Great General Shenwu, but Qin Mo seems to have foreseen his own future destiny. His fate is in the hands of the crown prince - if the crown prince leaks the news on his own initiative, then he is likely to be removed by the master behind the scenes as a traitor. If the crown prince is willing to temporarily block the news to cover it up for him, he can be saved from death.
But why does the prince cover up for him? Unless he pays the price.
Wanting to understand everything, Qin Mo suddenly fell into an ice cave.
The previous image of His Highness the Crown Prince collapsed in his heart, replaced by a terrifying shadow.
Looking at the young man in black who was casually leaning on the soft couch, he suddenly felt a strange sense of powerlessness.
The words His Highness the Crown Prince said not long ago sounded in his ears again.
"I'm just curious about one thing..."
"—Can this utter loyalty be rewarded in equal measure?"
Qin Mo didn't dare to think about it any further, worried that he would be shaken.
He is willing to be loyal, but is the object of his loyalty willing to believe
Just as he was chilling all over, His Royal Highness, who was sitting on the soft couch, got up suddenly and walked outside.
Walking to Qin Mo's side, a whisper suddenly floated into his ears.
When Qin Mo looked at him in astonishment, he only saw half of a profile face with graceful lines and the slightly upward curve of the corners of his lips.
"Now, I'm even more curious about your next choice."
Is it with a heart of utter loyalty, but is erased by the master as a betrayer, who is not a human being inside and out, and dies meaninglessly... Or is it just going with the flow and being a complete betrayer
·
In order not to calmly step out of Yunzhi Pavilion, he saw a group of guards guarding outside.
They all stood upright, and at first glance they seemed to have the spirit of an army of hundreds of battles, but their eyes were flying wildly with each other, and they didn't know what they were communicating with.
It wasn't because of a light cough.
These people immediately withdrew their eyes and looked solemn.
At this time, they realized that Yuan Wuwei had arrived, and couldn't help saluting: "I have seen Your Highness!"
Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince's expression was leisurely, and there was no trace of blood on his body, and the guards who had been secretly communicating with each other with their eyes on how to destroy the corpse, all subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little disappointed.
... He cleaned up everything cleanly by himself, and even they couldn't see any traces. He really deserves to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Even the destruction of corpses and traces can be done seamlessly!
It's a pity that none of the plans they conceived can be used, and they haven't been able to help His Royal Highness the slightest...
At this moment, His Royal Highness suddenly asked, "Do you know the imperial physicians inside?"
All the guards:? ? ? Could it be that these imperial physicians really offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and implicated other people? No, no, His Royal Highness is not such a person.
Although he was quite frightened, one of the guards nodded tremblingly. Just when he was about to explain that he was not familiar with the imperial physicians, Yuan Buwei asked again:
"The youngest imperial physician, do you know his name?"
"Hui, to report to Your Highness, the man's surname is Xiao, his first name is Zhi, and he is from the capital."
Rao Yiyuan didn't think he was smart, and he couldn't figure it out, but he just asked a simple question, why do these guards look weird
Especially the baby face who came forward to answer, the expression on his face seemed to be about to go to the execution ground, it was so strange no matter how you looked at it.
If he didn't believe in their loyalty, he would have doubted whether they had secretly colluded with the poisoner.
He didn't think much, just read the name lightly.
"—Xiao Zhi?"
