"How is it?" A deep, magnetic voice, with a strong chill, rang out in this silent hall. Instead of answering, he asked instead, which made Mei, who was lying on the ground, even more confused.
Although they had always known that Emperor Shitian was not an easy man to deal with, they still felt fear at this moment. The kind of kingly pressure emanating from this man almost made him breathless. Compared with their master, he was even more powerful. Moreover, he seemed to have some dark aura. As for how to explain it, he was not sure.
Bending over, he carefully examined the Queen Mother's condition, and after confirming that she was just unconscious and had no other injuries, Emperor Shitian continued, "So what about you guys? What do you want to do?"
"We?" Mei frowned, her doubts at this moment were like a black hole in the universe, growing bigger and more confusing.
What exactly does Emperor Shi Tian mean
"I will never tolerate provocation from others, especially when my bottom line is threatened." His bottom line used to be only the Queen Mother, but now there is Ling'er.
From the moment they started to target the Queen Mother, it was no longer possible for them to coexist peacefully.
At this moment, Emperor Shitian didn't know that they had actually set their sights on Ling'er. Not only did they beat her, but they also injured her...
"In fact, you have been planning this for a long time, right? How long ago? It should be before I was elected queen." Emperor Shitian sat beside the Queen Mother, staring at her sleeping face, and spoke word by word. During the narration, there was no emotion, no expression of joy or anger, it seemed as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.
But as soon as these words came out in a calm tone, Mei, who was half-kneeling on the ground, was startled. Her brain felt like it had short-circuited.
How is it possible? How could he know? Did he just guess it? However, every step of their plan was designed to be flawless, how could it be exposed? What on earth went wrong? Damn it!
"If a dragon is not a real dragon, there will be no phoenix to rule the country. That rumor is also your creation. All the officials died admonishing me to choose a queen. This is the first step of your plan. Originally, you wanted to manipulate the queen selection and let your spy become my queen. But I didn't expect that the heaven would not fulfill my wish." That little thing appeared...
When he thought of that little guy, the corners of Emperor Shi Tian's cold mouth immediately curved into a warm arc. Although it was very shallow, it was enough to melt the ice and snow.
"After that, your plan failed, so there was a backup assassination. That plan was probably made to prevent any mistakes after the election, just in case."
With every additional word Emperor Shi Tian spoke, Mei's face hidden under the black scarf became paler.
That's right, it's all right. It's as if I had witnessed their entire plan with my own eyes!
But how is this possible
"The candidate for queen that you have chosen should be Wang An's daughter, Wang Yanran. And you are the personal maid hiding beside her, the one who grew up with her—Huan'er!" As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the palm wind rushed past, and the black veil fell off.
A pure face was exposed to the air. Looking closely, the face was somewhat similar to that of the little maid Huan'er beside Wang Yanran. However, the slight bulge on his throat silently told a fact—Mei was a man!
Mei reacted and wanted to stop Di Shi Tian, but she was still a step too slow.
"Yes, you are right." Mei lowered her head with a complicated expression, and then asked: "But I don't understand. How do you know this? Did you infer it based on our current situation?"
"It was after you killed Wang An!"
"What!" Impossible!
Their original plan was exactly as Emperor Shi Tian said, they wanted to take advantage of Emperor Shi Tian's selection to plant their spies around him. But they didn't expect that the sudden appearance of the little beast would ruin their entire plan.
Afterwards, they had no choice but to activate the backup plan and assassinate Emperor Shi Tian. In the eyes of outsiders, this assassination was aimed at Emperor Shi Tian's life, but in fact, his ultimate goal was to disrupt that strange election and force Emperor Shi Tian to conduct a second election.
But he unexpectedly appointed a small animal as his queen.
Under such helpless circumstances, they could only instruct Wang An to find a way to get his daughter into the palace to act as a traitor.
Hence, the incident of Concubine Ran happened.
But he didn't expect that Wang Yanran was big-breasted and brainless, and in fact, she was just a jealous idiot. She even attacked him again and again.
It's simply courting death!
What he couldn't stand the most was that he couldn't even defeat a small beast.
He gave her advice time and again, and even advised her to win over the Queen Mother. As a result, the fool failed to achieve anything and instead caused trouble. Not only did he not win the Queen Mother's favor, but he also earned her dislike.
In the end, he could only take a risky move and guide her to give the Emperor Killing the World Medicine. This way, he could kill two birds with one stone.
If it succeeds, Wang Yanran will gain the favor of Emperor Shi Tian, which will be beneficial to their future grand plan; if it fails, it will just be a good opportunity to borrow Emperor Shi Tian's hand to get rid of this idiot. No matter which result it is, it will be beneficial to him.
After Wang Yanran failed, he immediately killed Wang An to silence him, then hid in the palace under the identity of a palace maid, waiting for his opportunity to act.
He thought he had done it perfectly. But what went wrong in one link that allowed Emperor Shi Tian to see through it
If he really had started to grasp their plan when Wang An was killed, then later...
Oh my god, Emperor Shi Tian is so scary!
Mei thought about it now, and couldn't help but panic. No wonder, no wonder their subsequent plans failed one after another; no wonder Emperor Shi Tian was able to return two days before they estimated the time. All of this can be explained.
"But I still don't understand. I wonder if Lord Tianze can help me understand?" Where did he reveal his flaws...
I really can’t think of it…
Emperor Shitian pulled the blanket on the Queen Mother and continued, "Because someone has cast a soul-chasing powder on Wang An."
Soul-Chasing Powder is a kind of ********.
Transmitted through blood, the infected person does not have too obvious symptoms, except that he occasionally feels dull pain in the abdomen. This poison will only erupt after three months. Death is similar to intestinal inflammation, and ordinary doctors cannot detect it at all.
This poison has another characteristic. As long as the poisoned person's blood is contaminated, that person will leave a unique, very faint fragrance. This fragrance can only be detected by the poisoner. Therefore, it is called soul-chasing powder. (To be continued)
