After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion
Chapter 164: Poison in the Cup
"Guard Xie, do you mean... the mastermind is someone else?"
Both the emperor and the crown prince guessed that Prince Fenyang probably played an important role in it.
"Your Highness, I am only guessing and dare not jump to conclusions."
"It's alright. I forgive you, just say it."
Bai Chen was cautious because his mother had told him that no matter what the emperor said, he should not give any answers himself.
"Your Majesty, I have no idea who is behind this, but one thing is certain: they will definitely join forces again."
"Oh? My dear, please tell me about it." The prince asked curiously.
"If it is really as cruel as the people of the Southern Country say, the Southern Country will definitely not give up. However, the truce has been signed, and they cannot violate the terms immediately. Otherwise, if the news gets out, it will be tantamount to breaking faith."
"But if this revenge is not taken, it will be difficult to dispel the hatred in the hearts of the Southern Kingdom's royal family. Therefore, if they want to provoke a fight again, they will definitely need the cooperation of the Great Zhou."
"In short, they have been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Da Zhou to take the initiative to provoke a dispute with them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor and the prince felt a chill on their backs, and a person immediately appeared in their minds, that was Prince Fenyang.
"Thank you, my dear Lord. Do you think that if I eliminate the spies within, can I put an end to this war?"
"I dare not make any rash comments."
At this time, Xie Baiyuan came in with Doctor Wang.
"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor is here."
"I'm fine. Doctor Wang, Huang Desheng, you can leave first. Minister Xie, please stay."
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
"You don't obey my orders?"
Eunuch Huang had no choice but to wait outside with Doctor Wang.
The prince asked Xie Boyuan the same question again, wanting to hear his opinion.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, I believe this matter concerns the reputation of the Southern Kingdom. I am afraid that this war is inevitable. However, if the Great Zhou is willing to hand over the mastermind behind the scenes, there may still be a possibility of negotiation."
"Besides, this matter is also related to the dignity of the Great Zhou. If it gets out, what will the people think?"
"Ah!" The emperor sighed. The biggest mistake he had made in his life was trusting his younger brother, who was such a sinister and cunning person.
He should have been killed directly during the battle for the prince, and now he would not have implicated the people of the Great Zhou.
At this time, the prince suggested, "Father, I think this matter needs to be considered in detail. After returning to the palace, you need to discuss the strategy with the six ministers and the court elders."
"Alright."
The prince was secretly planning in his mind that he must have someone keep a close eye on Prince Fenyang. He wanted to see who was silently supporting Prince Fenyang behind the scenes.
……
Xie Mansion.
"Hanhan, the King of Fenyang's dead servant has infiltrated the maids."
"She dares." Yun Zhihan said calmly, "Jin Shang, please ask Uncle Wen and Nanny Wen to come over."
"It's ma'am."
A moment.
"This old servant greets the Madam."
"Uncle Wen, Aunt Wen, the Xie Mansion is in danger today. Everyone who comes in must be watched closely, and the drinks and food in the cups and plates must be tested for poison."
When the two heard this, they immediately became alert and asked, "How did the Madam know this?"
"I saw a few unfamiliar faces, so it's better to be cautious."
"Madam is very smart. I will go check it out right away."
"Yes. By the way, Jin'er, Yan'er and I will go to the pavilion to have dinner today, and let Ayue follow us."
"Old slave understands."
There was a hint of cruelty in Yun Zhihan's eyes. King Fenyang really took great pains for him.
The assassination attempt a few days ago failed, and now it comes again. However, fortunately, she has time to play with him slowly.
She left the house and went to the Baijin courtyard.
When I pushed the door open, I found that the two of them were unusually quiet, which I found a bit strange.
After all, Jin'er is quiet, so she must be up to something.
When I walked in, as expected, she had taken the Rubik's Cube to pieces and was reassembling it.
Yun Zhihan rolled his eyes and looked over. "Are you bored? Why are you tearing it down?"
Bai Jin was shocked and explained, "Mother, this is called knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, and you will win every battle. I have to disassemble it to understand its structure."
After hearing this, she shook her head silently. There are many mathematical principles that need to be followed in the construction of the Rubik's Cube, including at least permutations and combinations, group ethics, graphic symmetry, and complex algorithms.
How could a teenage girl understand this?
"Is there any gain in that?"
"Not at the moment." But Bai Jin was not discouraged.
"Okay, where's Yunyan? Where did she go?"
"Change up!"
"Huh? Where is she going?"
She heard that things were not going well in the Xie residence today, so she prepared to change into clothes that would be more convenient for fighting.
"Oh!" Yun Zhihan smiled helplessly. This kid is quite well-informed.
"Okay, take the four cubes and follow me to the pavilion to eat."
"Oh."
Bai Jin went out with the scattered edges and corner pieces.
Yard pavilion.
Yun Zhihan and her two children are having dinner.
Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen are checking every dish to see if it contains any poison.
A Yue stayed by Yun Zhihan's side, and Yun Yan stayed by Bai Jin's side.
The prince's elite troops are hidden in every corner of the Xie family.
At this time, a maid came slowly.
"Hanhan, this is the person. The tea in her hand is not poisonous. The poison is in her fingernails."
"Okay, I understand."
Nanny Wen checked the tea with a silver needle and found nothing unusual. "Go ahead."
"Yes!"
Just as she left Nanny Wen, the maid quickly put the poison on her nails into the teacup.
"Ma'am, please have some tea."
Today, she had no intention of walking out alive. As long as Madam Xie died, her mission would be accomplished.
Yun Zhihan smiled slightly, took off the silver hairpin on her head and put it into the tea.
The maid was immediately panicked when she saw this, because she didn't see Madam Xie checking on other people just now.
She felt that the truth was about to be revealed, and just as she was about to take action, she was stopped by A Yue and Yun Yan at the same time.
The two men pinned her to the ground.
At this time, the prince's elite troops also hurried over.
Just when they were about to ask, the maid had already bitten her tongue and committed suicide.
"Aunt, the person is dead."
Yun Zhihan waved his hand and said, "Take him away. Guard Liu, please report this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince truthfully."
"Don't worry, my lady, I will report to you right away."
Bai Jin still looked calm, "Mom, didn't Aunt Wen check it just now?"
"This old slave deserves to die! Please punish me, Madam." Nanny Wen and Uncle Wen knelt on the ground.
"Please stand up, both of you. It's not all your fault. This maid must have received special training and will not let you easily detect foreign objects."
"How did the lady know that?" Everyone was curious.
"Because she stayed a little too long." Yun Zhihan explained, "Usually, maids would leave after putting down the tea. But this maid not only did not leave immediately, but also had a hint of smile in her eyes."
"It's like you're willing to die. So, I think there's poison in this tea. I put it in when you weren't paying attention."
