Chapter 251 Crying
In the folding plum hall, Ling Yue held a dagger in his right hand and a ripe apple in his left hand, slowly cutting it: "Alas, it's really a trick. This dagger should have been used to scratch Liu Xi's head, but now it can only be used to peel apples."
Liu Ye laughed and said, "Sister, were you serious just now? If Liu Xi doesn't say anything, will he really peel off his skin?
Ling Yue stopped her movements and said seriously, "Of course, why do you think I was just kidding?"
"Yes, you are not that kind of cruel person. It may be okay to kill people, but this is skinning." Liu Ye said, "So, sister, you just scared Liu Xi, didn't you?"
"Of course not. I just really wanted to kill Liu Xi."
Liu Ye heard Ling Yue's words and said doubtfully, "Is it true? However, I think you really seem to be joking just now.
"This is not a joke. It's useless to just hold a kind attitude. Anyway, Liu Xi is a person around the emperor. If he is on our side, it's another matter, but I have tested him many times. This person can't be easily used by us. Sooner or later, he will stand on us. Opposite, no, it should be said that we are now standing opposite. In this case, why be too kind to the enemy?
"Does kindness to the enemy mean cruelty to yourself?" Liu Ye asked.
"Dingdong, answer correctly, I'll give you one more point." Ling Yue said slowly, "I guess Liu Xi will definitely tell the emperor that we have been alert, but it doesn't matter, because in the next few months, either he died or I died. Things have entered a white-hot stage, and there is no need for everyone to continue to wear masks to disguise."
"What about His Royal Highness?"
Huh? Xia Wuchen? What should I do?"
"If you kill the emperor, then Your Highness..."
"This...I don't know." Ling Yue said slowly, "Maybe you can kill the emperor with someone else's hand. Don't forget that there is another person who doesn't use it, Old Wu."
"Wu Yong?"
"Yes, although I don't know what the old man and the emperor have, as long as the old man wants to kill the emperor, there is no problem. As for what method to use, it is not what I need to worry about. If he doesn't succeed, I'll make up for it. At that time, it may be troublesome for you. Ling Yue took a look at Liu Ye, but found that Liu Ye seemed to have entered the state of wandering outside the sky. " Liu Ye, are you listening to me?"
"Yes, if Wu doesn't succeed at that time, then I will take action."
"That's what it means, hey hey."
"However, I care a little bit." Liu Ye said, "Is it possible that His Royal Highness has no different intentions?"
"What did you say?" Ling Yue didn't understand and frowned slightly, "You mean that Wuchen is on the same front as his father on the surface, but maybe he has his own plan?"
Liu Ye nodded and said, "Yes, the emperor is suspicious, so I don't think even His Royal Highness may believe it. And how can His Royal Highness, the master of Baichuan Hall, be a fuel-efficient lamp?
"Baichuantang, I almost forgot this matter. I've never been very clear about it. What's the difference between Baichuantang and the Supervision Institute?"
"The difference is that the supervisory institute is mainly dominated by the imperial court and the chamber of commerce, and the affairs in the world are not too much. Although I know something about it, I have always been on the sidelines. Baichuantang is mainly responsible for the affairs of the world, and does not care much about the affairs of the court and the Chamber of Commerce.
"What about the investigative ability?"
"Each has its own advantages, sister, the Supervision Institute is not what it used to be, so strictly speaking, Baichuantang is more powerful now."
"I know this, and I'm also worried about that." Ling Yue held her forehead and looked a little tired. "After all, I'm not her, hehe, it's really ironic. Obviously it's me, but I'm not her. It's really ironic."
Since taking over the supervision institute, Ling Yue has had a sense of powerlessness, which is also the reason why she handed over the affairs of the court to Wu and Liu Ye over the affairs in the world. At the same time, she even let Xie Tingyu share part of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. Regarding this, although the nominal purpose she wants to achieve is to reassure Xia Wuchen, in the final analysis, she is still unable to do it. It's really hard for her to imagine how Su Rou mastered such a huge institution. If there is no helper, she will definitely not believe it, but according to the current situation, it seems that there is really no helper.
"Lu Ye, how on earth do you think she runs such a huge supervision institute?"
"I don't know." Liu Ye said, "If anyone knows, won't the supervisory court be everywhere?"
"That makes a little sense. Su Rou has only one." After saying this, Ling Yue was suddenly scared by herself. Su Rou has only one, and she, now Murong Lingyue, is not the president of the Supervision Institute who controls the whole world. What Su Rou can do, she may not be able to do it. Although to some extent, she is Su Rou. But what does that mean? It's two completely different people. Ling Yue has always believed that since Su Rou can master the whole supervisory institute and even the world, she can do it herself.
But the fact is completely opposite, or it didn't develop as he expected at all.
"Someone is coming." Liu Ye looked out of the door and said, "King Kang."
Sure enough, after a while, King Kang slowly walked in.
"I didn't bother you." I don't know why King Kang's expression looks a little solemn.
Ling Yue narrowed her eyes and seemed to notice King Kang's solemn look: "What, what's the matter?"
"There is indeed something, nothing."
"Is there something wrong or nothing to go?" Ling Yue said depressedly, "Look at your solemn expression. Something should have happened. Let me guess, aren't you worried about me because of those two decrees?"
Xia Kang's face moved and turned his head: "You..."
"I was right." Ling Yue said with a smile, "Don't worry, ten days is enough to change the sky."
"The weather changes, you..."
"Don't be so surprised. It's just poison. You don't need to use troops, so it's very simple." Ling Yue said with a smile.
"Poisoning?" Xia Kang sighed and said, "There is something. I think it's better to tell you in advance that my father is invulnerable."
"Ah?" Murong Lingyue and Liu Ye said in unison, "Invulnerable?"
Xia Kang nodded and said, "Yes, all poisons are invulnerable. Do you still remember Ouyang Wan? In fact, at that time, the assassin cut the first knife on his father's right arm. Seeing that he failed, the assassin directly cut his father's head. It happened that Ouyang Wan blocked a knife for his father. After that, Ouyang Wan was poisoned, but his father did nothing. At that time, he knew that his father was invulnerable. ."
Ling Yue suddenly stopped talking. Emperor Xia was invulnerable, so Xia Wuchen also knew about it. But he has never told himself what he is deliberately guarding against? Or just forget it. But... such an important thing is just important to themselves. For them, there is nothing to say.
"So, poison doesn't work?" Ling Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "Who else knows about this matter?"
"Not many people know, such as the prince, Ouyang, the empress dowager, and the dead queen."
"Only so few people know? This is really unexpected. What about the imperial hospital?
"At that time, it was Liu Yao who diagnosed and treated my father, so Liu Yao also knew it, but I think my father had warned Liu Yao in advance that he was not allowed to tell this matter, otherwise the world would have known it." Xia Kang said, "My father is suspicious, and this is also a reasonable thing."
"Indeed, the emperor was suspicious. This was known as early as when he slaughtered the whole minister of Cang."
"So, the reason why you didn't feel anything at the execution ground at that time was because you were not Murong Lingyue at all."
Ling Yue smiled and said nothing.
