The Favoured Medical Princess: 701 Ambition
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
"Damn it!" Han Lingfu said through gritted teeth.
He never expected that things would turn out to be such an unexpected thing. This Huang Hetai was not just a idiot, but a top talent!
His astonishing talents were witnessed by the people of the royal capital on the day of the parade, and as a result, the rumors of fraud that had been spread in full swing were completely suppressed. With things developing to this point, I am afraid that it will not take a few days for Tianlao to Nangong Qin inside will be released.
I spent so much effort to set up such a game, but I lost one move, and the success was in vain!
He is really unwilling!
There was another "thud" sound. This time, it was Han Lingfu's fist that hit the desk hard, and severe pain hit...
After a while, Han Lingfu took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger and unwillingness in his heart, and began to calm down.
At this point, no matter how upset it is, it will not help. I have to think about whether there is any remedy.
Should I sacrifice some people and expose the "problematic" thing?
Once the person who sells the topic "recruits" Nangong Qin, then Nangong Qin, as the "mastermind behind the scenes", will naturally be unable to defend himself and will be convicted of selling the topic!
But...
Han Lingfu shook his bruised fist and hesitated.
When the rumors of fraud broke out in the royal capital, he saw that those students were making trouble, and there was no need for him to add fuel to the situation, so he simply let the situation develop on its own, adding fuel to the flames from time to time. Because he knew in his heart that the more he did, the more traces he would leave. A bad person would not only have to sacrifice himself, but would also run the risk of being traced back to him.
Therefore, he was really unwilling to take this risky move unless it was absolutely necessary!
Or, he goes to the Second Emperor Brother to discuss it?
Han Lingfu frowned and thought, it was clear that he could have eliminated the Nangong family without any bloodshed, but now he had to kill a thousand enemies and injure eight hundred himself, which was really unacceptable!
The more Han Lingfu thought about it, the more upset and angry she became, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated two beats.
Bang bang!
He stroked his chest uncomfortably, feeling his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, so he reached for the tea cup, but when he raised his hand, he found that his hand couldn't help shaking, like branches and leaves that couldn't help shaking in the wind and rain. .
His face was extremely ugly, his brows were furrowed, he tried hard to steady his hands, and held the teacup with both hands...
The tea in the tea cup rippled slightly with his trembling hands, and the ripples made Han Lingfu's heart completely confused, so he picked up the tea cup and put it back on the case.
" Your Majesty, Concubine Bai has brought soup."
At this moment, the person Han Lingfu didn't want to see the most was Bai Muxiao. His thin lips moved slightly, trying to get Xiao Lizi to drive her away, but when he thought of "soup", the words that came to his lips were still not spoken...
The next moment, there was a sound of curtain lifting, and a graceful figure appeared in his field of vision. Bai Muxiao came slowly and slowly with a food box in hand.
She wore a moon-white dress with dark patterns, tied loosely with a white jade hairpin. Although the dress was simple, it could not hide the graceful beauty between her eyebrows, her Qinghua aura, just like a green lotus.
Just looking at her, Han Lingfu felt bored in his heart. He was wrong. There is nothing in this world that comes out of the mud without being stained. Those who crawl out of the dirty mud can never wash away the dirt on their bodies. Like——
She!
Bai Muxiao couldn't see the disgust in Han Lingfu's eyes, but now she no longer cares what he thinks and says with a smile: "Your Highness, it's time to drink the soup."
Han Lingfu stared at the food box in Bai Muxiao's hand, clenching his fists unconsciously.
Of course he doesn’t want to take Wuhe ointment anymore, but...
He was restless again, his heart was beating impetuously, and sweat began to break out on his forehead...
Bai Muxiao looked at his hesitant expression and smiled sarcastically, thinking: He is still like this, always so indecisive, no wonder he never achieves anything big, whatever, she just comes to help him.
Bai Muxiao walked to the desk with light steps, opened the food box, took out a piece of Gu soup and brought it to Han Lingfu, saying seductively: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard, drink some hot soup to rest your mind."
As she said that, she helped him open the lid of the soup Gu, and the steaming fragrance penetrated into Han Lingfu's nose. His original hesitation disappeared in this moment, and his eyes seemed to be possessed. Staring at the bowl of soup, he picked up the spoon on the side and drank it almost impatiently... At this moment, he was so hungry that he had long forgotten about Bai Muxiao standing next to him.
Bai Muxiao looked at him coldly, watching him surrender to the magic of Wuhe ointment like a dog, watching his expression of ecstasy, watching him gradually lose himself...
She smiled, with a mocking arc at the corner of her mouth, feeling extremely happy in her heart.
Han Lingfu, you also have today!
"Your Majesty," she asked seemingly casually, "how was the result of the palace examination?" Of course Bai Muxiao did not come specifically to bring soup to Han Lingfu, she came here specifically to inquire about the results of the palace examination.
Bai Muxiao was in the inner house and knew very little about what was happening outside. After the results were released yesterday, Han Lingfu did not go to her yard, so when she heard that he had returned today, she couldn't wait to come.
Hearing this, Han Lingfu's hand holding the spoon paused, and his whole body was shocked, as if he suddenly woke up from a sweet dream, his face darkened.
As soon as Bai Muxiao entered the study room, she saw that Han Lingfu looked bad. In fact, she had vaguely guessed it in her heart, and it was only now that she confirmed it. Sure enough, things were messed up!
She snorted disdainfully and scolded mercilessly: "You are so useless, you can't handle such a small thing!"
How dare this **** humiliate herself like this! Han Lingfu's pupils shrank sharply, and he was filled with hatred. He really wanted to slap him in the face, but he had to endure it.
"You..." Don't go too far!
At this moment, a little maid from outside came in timidly and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Bai, and the Three Prince Consort are here." The Three Prince Consort in the maid's mouth naturally refers to the Baiyang Prince Kui Lang.
A flash of joy flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes, and he said coldly: "Concubine Bai, I have guests here, you can go back."
Bai Muxiao did not move, looking at him with a smile, the smile in her eyes was so thick that it almost overflowed, and whispered: "It turns out that the prince has made an appointment with His Highness Kui Lang." As she said that, she laughed sarcastically. His voice showed contempt, "My lord, have you never thought about why I have Wuhe ointment on my hand?"
Could it be that... the color on Han Lingfu's face faded instantly. He had naturally thought about it, but he didn't dare to think about it deeply. In his heart, he would rather Bai Muxiao used other means to obtain Wuhe anointing...
But now when he heard what Bai Muxiao said, he couldn't help but feel chills all over his body.
It turns out that the Wuhe ointment in Bai Muxiao's hand came from Kuilang!
"Bai Muxiao, you bitch, how dare you betray me and secretly collude with Kui Lang!" Han Lingfu said angrily.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt palpitations. Bai Muxiao was in the inner house on weekdays, and she was just a concubine. She was stared at by pairs of eyes in the palace, and was not allowed to enter or leave the palace easily, nor was she allowed to pass news outside the palace easily...
How did she get together with Kui Lang? !
The answer is obvious.
There must be someone secretly pulling the strings.
As for the middleman, there is no need to think about it, it must be a manipulator!
None of the three women in his backyard are kind——
Bai Muxiao and Zhang Yi colluded with each other and secretly drugged themselves with Wuhe ointment. The dead Cui Yanyan secretly drugged Bai Muxiao before she was alive, causing his child to turn into a monster...
This incident flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, and he suddenly understood.
He had calculated everything, guarded against the east and the west, and thought before and after, but he never expected that the three women in his backyard would actually have their own agenda and betray him one by one!
Han Lingfu's heart sank little by little, as if he had fallen into an abyss. Over the years, he had encountered many setbacks, but he always felt that "heaven will give great responsibilities to people here, and they must first work hard and work hard." His muscles and bones", so he persevered again and again, believing that these were just small setbacks on his way to the supreme position, and that it was all worth it.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but doubt himself...
He thought that Bai Muxiao, who loved him deeply, hated him because of her love and wanted him to die!
The concubine Cui Yanyan, whom he thought was kind and generous, was actually jealous and vicious, and would not even spare an unborn child!
The woman he took as his confidante was actually harboring ulterior motives, playing tricks on him and acting falsely...
Thinking of this, Han Lingfu clenched his fists. There is an old saying: "Women's hearts are the most poisonous." Women are indeed untrustworthy. Once they can't get what they want from themselves, they will turn against each other and be ruthless!
While Han Lingfu was filled with anger, a man in an indigo brocade robe strode into the study room under the guidance of a little maid, and then casually sat down opposite Han Lingfu.
It is Kui Lang, the prince of Baiyue!
Bai Muxiao waved his hand, and all the slaves in the study retreated, leaving only the three of them.
The room was quiet for a moment, deathly silent, and the air was full of murderous intent.
Han Lingfu stared at Kui Lang in front of him. If eyes could kill, Kui Lang would have been cut into pieces long ago.
I had known for a long time that Kui Lang was a tiger unwilling to be trapped in a cage. He knew that he had to be on guard against Kui Lang, but he never expected that the other party would find an opening from his back house...
"Kui Lang," Han Lingfu angrily asked Kui Lang through gritted teeth, "I and you are already allies, why are you still doing this?!"
Why secretly poison him? !
Compared with Han Lingfu's excitement, Kui Lang was leisurely and contented, smiling and comforting Han Lingfu: "Don't worry, third uncle, I only want Baiyue, and Dayu is still yours, third uncle, we each take what we need! ”
"Everyone gets what they need?!" Han Lingfu laughed sarcastically, "What about Wuhe ointment?!"
The smile in Kui Lang's eyes grew stronger and he said, "My third uncle must have had some misunderstandings about Wuhe ointment. Don't you think my whole body feels comfortable recently?"
Han Lingfu's face turned colder and he didn't take it seriously.
Kui Lang sneered and said: "Third uncle, I also have good intentions. I was thinking that if third uncle is busy with government affairs after he ascends to Dabao in the future, I can also help him."
The other party was thinking... Han Lingfu's eyes widened and he immediately understood Kui Lang's intention. His whole body felt as if he had been soaked in a bucket of ice water, freezing to the bone.
Kui Lang wants to become his puppet and control Dayu.
In the same way, with Baiyue's strength, trying to capture Dayu is simply a fool's errand. First of all, Kui Lang can't pass the test of Zhennan Prince and his son, but if he ascends to Dabao, it will be different. Once he becomes the legitimate Emperor of Dayu, then Kui Lang can use his own hands to do whatever he wants to Dayu...
Unconsciously, Han Lingfu's back was covered with sweat.
Looking at Han Lingfu's uncertain face, a coldness flashed in Kui Lang's eyes. He took out a small porcelain jar from his sleeve, then opened it in front of Han Lingfu and Bai Muxiao, revealing Among them is the brown paste, and the familiar fragrance wafts out of it...
Han Lingfu stared hungrily at the jar of Wuhe paste, like a lost traveler in the desert finally seeing a green oasis, like nectar suddenly falling from the long-drought land.
Kui Lang was not in a hurry, he just sat there, smiling heartily.
After a long while, Han Lingfu raised his hand tremblingly, and slowly...with difficulty, he stretched out his hand. From beginning to end, his hand was trembling until he held the porcelain jar.
His hands eagerly took back the porcelain jar, but his heart instantly fell into bottomless hell.
This is just a small gesture, but it represents his surrender to Kui Lang.
From now on, he can no longer escape Kui Lang's control, and neither can Dayu...
In the study, Kui Lang and Bai Muxiao exchanged proud looks, but Han Lingfu was filled with despair and his whole body suddenly realized...
It wasn't until half an hour later that Kui Lang left, and only Han Lingfu and Bai Muxiao were left in the study. Han Lingfu finally couldn't suppress the doubts and unwillingness in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Why? Why would you rather help Kui Lang, you also want to betray me?"
Bai Muxiao smiled, with a trace of pity and a trace of complacency in his smile, and said slowly and meaningfully: "My lord, His Highness Kuilang will eventually return to Baiyue, and he will always have to stay alone in the royal capital. To help the prince, does the prince say yes or no?"
Not only Kui Lang has to go back to Baiyue, but also the clothes maker has to go back to Baiyue. So for Kui Lang, the best person to stay and monitor Han Lingfu is Bai Muxiao!
This woman! Han Lingfu's chest tightened and he almost lost his breath. Once again, he realized deeply that he had never known this woman at all.
Her ambition has expanded to such an extent. She clearly wants to be the empress of Dayu. This woman... how dare she have such a delusion? !
Is she crazy? !
"Pa——"
A crisp slap echoed in the study room, which was extremely loud. There was a bright red slap mark on Bai Muxiao's fair face, and even her hair was messed up because of this slap.
But Bai Muxiao didn't get angry but smiled instead, with a condescending arrogance. Han Lingfu raised his right hand again and wanted to throw it down with a palm...
"My lord, you have to think carefully!" Bai Muxiao deliberately turned her other face towards her, "I don't know how many days the jar of Wuhe ointment you have is enough for you... Two days? Three days? ”
Han Lingfu's face was as dark as water and he said coldly: "Bai Muxiao, do you think Kui Lang will fall out with me because of you?"
Bai Muxiao smiled, tilted his head and said, "Your Majesty, you can give it a try. I am a tile and you are a porcelain. Porcelain does not compete with tiles. You have been planning for so long and you are not willing to give up. Are you willing to give up this thousand-mile country for your great ambition?"
Han Lingfu's hand froze in mid-air for a moment, and finally let it go...
The next moment, another "pop" sound sounded in the study room.
This time there was a slap mark on Han Lingfu's face. Junyi's face was tilted to one side and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Bai Muxiao said: "This is for you."
"You...you bitch!" Han Lingfu said in a trembling voice, holding and releasing his hand, and then releasing it again.
If he dared to fight with her, she would still look down upon him. It was a pity that this man cherished his life and loved his power. Bai Muxiao sneered and reminded in an almost commanding tone: "Your Majesty, you should think carefully now about how to resolve the fraud. If Your Majesty doesn't take action, Nangong Qin will definitely be released by the Emperor. Then, Your Majesty will fall short of success." Got it!"
After saying that, she ignored Han Lingfu and walked away, leaving Han Lingfu standing there staring blankly at her slender back, his whole body tense like a leopard staring at its prey. .
Whether it is Bai Muxiao or Nangong Mansion...
He will not let go of anyone who feels sorry for Han Lingfu!
Han Lingfu secretly swore to the sky in his heart that at this moment, there were no clouds outside, the sun was shining brightly, and it seemed to be a bit hotter than the previous few days.
This is true in the royal capital, and even more so in Nanliang, thousands of miles away. It is so hot that eggs placed on the bluestone floor can be fried.
However, the ordinary people in Nanliang have long been accustomed to this hot weather, and they do whatever they need to do under the sun.
In comparison, the conditions for summer escape in the Nanliang Palace are naturally much better. There is a water pavilion built on the water and a Qingzhuo Hall with water curtains on three sides.
This Qingzhuo Hall was really thoughtful. It avoided direct sunlight and was built across the river. There is a waterwheel behind the hall that continuously leads the river water to the eaves. The water flows along the eaves and forms a pattern on three sides. The water curtains, like hanging waves like waterfalls, naturally have a cooling effect.
Crash...
Amidst the continuous sound of falling water, waves of eagle cries sounded from time to time. Two eagles, one gray and one white, circled around the water curtain curiously, while looking at Xiao Yi and Guan Guan who were drinking tea and talking inside. The language is white.
Crash...
The sound of Xiao Yi pouring tea for Guan Yubai was completely swallowed up by the sound of falling water around him. While pouring the tea, he said casually: "Xiao Bai, the palace examination should be over by now."
Guan Yubai nodded, then picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "With Huang and Tai Zhuyu in front of us, when it comes to fraud, it will naturally seem extremely ridiculous."
Originally, Guan Yubai arranged for Huang Hetai to attend Enke this time in order to place another person in the court in case of emergency.
When he suggested that Nangong Qin Shangzhezi should change the Chunwei examination questions, Guan Yubai expected that there would be two results. One was that the emperor agreed, and everything would be easy to handle. Second, if the emperor does not agree, then Nangong Qin's behavior will inevitably make Prince Shun and Prince Gong unhappy, and they may even get rid of them quickly. This time Enke is the best opportunity for them to get rid of the Nangong family.
Since then, Guanyubai has been quietly making plans.
Sure enough, soon after the Spring Festival, rumors of fraud broke out.
Guan Yubai, who is far away in Nanliang, cannot confirm whether the two princes leaked the questions or how many people they leaked the questions to. It would take too much time to check one by one.
So, he simply didn't care about it. Instead, after the fraud broke out, he ordered people to secretly "help" the two princes to fuel the trouble. At the appropriate time, he asked Nangong Qin to suggest that the emperor hold a palace examination.
After that, he made people direct all public opinions to Huang Hetai, making people question his talent and learning, making people dissatisfied with his arrogance, and making everyone in the capital know about his "deeds"... It also made the two princes behind the scenes underestimate Huang Hetai.
At that time, no one will care about whether other people in Jinke have real talents or not. All eyes will be on Huang Hetai.
In this way, as long as Huang Hetai succeeds in the palace examination and beats the others, the fraud issue will naturally be suppressed.
Guan Yubai took a sip of tea, with an indifferent but confident smile on his lips, and said: "However, Ayi, I'm afraid I have to tolerate Lord Nangong for a while. I believe that the two princes have dealt with this matter. , they will definitely not give up. Next, they are afraid that they would rather sacrifice some people to 'prove' that Mr. Nangong sold the test questions..."
"Failure is spring, success is spring!" Xiao Yi played with the small and interesting Nanliang tea cup in his hand, shook his head and said, "This matter is not over yet."
Guan Yubai looked past Xiao Yi and looked at the curtain of water falling continuously behind him. The curtain of water was shining with crystal luster in the sun. The sound of falling water was fierce, and the leisurely pace in the hall formed a sudden and slow sound. sharp contrast.
With the sound of water, Guan Yubai said slowly: "Ayi, let's wait and see what happens."
