I made the villain right.

Chapter 174: When it comes to being weird, who can beat these two?

At this moment, Xu Wusheng was lingering in the cell, sitting quietly on a wooden bench, with a look of leisure and ease.

Wei Dong left and came back, rather puzzled, "This is all a misunderstanding. Your Highness, why do you want to stay here?"

Xu Wusheng looked at Wei Dong and explained calmly: "A few days ago, Prime Minister Qin said that if he didn't see me, I would have to stay in the cell. Prime Minister Qin didn't come, so how dare I go out? Commander Wei knows Prime Minister Qin's ability, and I dare not anger him."

When Wei Dong heard this, his eyes twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: He is using Qin Xiang's words to shut Qin Xiang's mouth.

The meaning of Xu Wusheng's words was very clear. He needed Qin Yixian to ask him to come out personally, otherwise he would just stay in this cell obediently.

"I will convey your Highness' message to Prime Minister Qin," Wei Dong said and left the cell.

After Wei Dong left, Xu Wusheng's eyes suddenly became sharp.

He has suffered a lot in prison during this period of time. Whoever arrested him should release him, otherwise he will not be able to vent the anger in his heart.

What's more, Qin Yixian dared to threaten him with the life of his beloved. He will have to settle this account in the future.

Now that Prince Jing'an has returned to Beijing, some people should be panicking.

Two quarters of an hour ago.

Wei Dong entered the cell and saw Xu Wusheng sitting on a wooden bench looking a little haggard. His eyes flashed and he quickly opened the cell door.

Xu Wusheng heard the noise and looked up with a wary and sharp look in his eyes. When he saw that the sharpness in his eyes had faded a little, he opened his mouth and asked about what was on his mind.

"Time waits for no one. What brings you here, Commander Wei? Have you investigated everything?"

"We have found out that this is all a misunderstanding. Prime Minister Qin has ordered his subordinates to release His Highness."

When Xu Wusheng heard this, his dim eyes suddenly lit up.

Wei Dong placed the antidote on the table in front of Xu Wusheng, "This is the antidote for the heart-eating poison."

Xu Wusheng walked out of the cell without saying a word, taking the antidote with him. Wei Dong followed him to the prison gate.

Xu Wusheng was eager to go to the Yun Mansion to deliver the antidote to Yun Youying. When he saw a horse at the door, he quickly jumped on it.

"I am eager to save people. Can you lend me Commander Wei's horse?"

After Xu Wusheng said this, he rode away on his horse. Wei Dong looked at his departing back, a hint of relief showing on his face.

Xu Wusheng ran all the way to the gate of Yun Mansion.

When he passed by the front hall, Yun Zhengting was surprised when he saw him, but then a look of joy appeared on his face.

He had sent a letter to King Jing'an by carrier pigeon today, but he didn't expect Xu Wusheng to be released.

Judging from his haggard face and untidy clothes, he came here directly after he got out.

"Your Highness," Yun Zhengting called out to him.

When Xu Wusheng saw Yun Zhengting, he hurried forward, looking worried, and asked anxiously: "Where is Ying'er now? How is her health? Take me to see her quickly."

Yun Zhengting was slightly stunned when he saw that Yun Youying was concerned about her health as soon as she arrived and looked so anxious.

Then he said, "Ying'er has been suffering from palpitations recently and is resting in her room."

The Yun Mansion did not disclose the news of Yun Youying's illness to the public. How did Xu Wusheng know about it?

Yun Zhengting realized something was wrong and asked in confusion, "How did your Highness know that Ying'er has been unwell recently?"

Xu Wusheng did not answer her, but was silent for a moment and said: "She is not suffering from palpitations, but from a heart-eating poison."

As soon as he said this, he heard the sound of something falling behind him.

Song came back from buying Yun Youying's favorite dishes. When she saw Xu Wusheng and Yun Zhengting talking about something, she walked over here.

I never expected to hear such shocking news, and I was so scared that I dropped the basket in my hand.

Song walked up to Xu Wusheng, her face full of shock and panic, and asked, "Your Highness, what's going on? How could Ying'er be poisoned?"

"It's a long story, but don't worry, auntie, I have the antidote."

After hearing this, Song's heart finally settled down a little.

The three of them went to Yun Youying's yard together. On the way, Xu Wusheng explained to the two elders the reason why Yun Youying was poisoned.

The two elders knew that it was Qin Yixian's doing, and they were very angry and resentful. The two elders knew that it was Qin Yixian's doing, and they were very angry and resentful. However, due to Qin Yixian's tremendous power, it would be easy for him to destroy their Yun Mansion, so the two elders had to endure it and not act.

At this moment, Yun Youying was sitting in the pavilion to get some fresh air. His face was pale, slightly swollen, and he looked very weak.

Seeing this, Zhiya advised: "Miss, you don't look well. It's cold here. You should go back to your room and rest."

Yun Youying shook her head and refused, "My chest feels more stuffy lying down, so I'd better come out and get some fresh air."

She remembered something and said, "Strange, I've been taking medicine for two days and my palpitations haven't improved, but why is my face still swollen?"

"Is there? Let me see."

Upon hearing this, the maid Zhi hurried over, took a closer look, and found that her face was indeed a little swollen.

As soon as Zhiya finished speaking, Yun Youying saw three familiar figures walking towards her.

She looked delighted and quickly went forward to hug Xu Wusheng, "Great, Brother Wusheng, you finally came out."

Xu Wusheng hugged her slender waist, eyes full of pity and love, and said softly: "Well, I'm out. I've been worried about you these days."

The two hadn't seen each other for many days and were unwilling to let go.

It was not until Yun Zhengting behind her coughed lightly that Yun Youying realized that her family was also there. She immediately let go of him and lowered her eyes shyly.

Xu Wusheng helped her sit down, looked at her pale little face, and a trace of heartache flashed across his eyes.

Then he took out a medicine bottle and said, "Ying'er, this is medicine to cure your heart palpitations. You will get better after taking it." After that, he poured her a glass of water considerately.

In order not to cause her panic, Xu Wusheng did not tell her that she was poisoned, but the smart Yun Youying also noticed that something was wrong.

Yun Youying reached out her hand with a puzzled look on her face, only to see a black pill fall into her palm. Then she picked up the water and swallowed the antidote obediently without any hesitation.

After she took it, she asked, "Brother Wusheng, you just came out, how did you know that I have palpitations and even prepared medicine?"

Xu Wusheng's face darkened upon hearing this, and then he said with guilt: "Ying'er, I'm sorry, it's me who has dragged you down. Qin Yixian had someone poison you to force me to surrender."

After saying this, he looked at Yun Youying, his eyes filled with strong self-blame and pity.

Yun Youying was startled when she heard this, and then her eyes turned red. She held his hand and said, "How can this be blamed on Brother Wusheng? It was clearly that Qin Yixian who was insidious and cunning and did despicable things."

Yun Youying realized something and his expression changed. "Brother Wusheng, did you agree to his conditions? Otherwise, how could he give you the antidote?"

Xu Wusheng saw that she not only did not blame him, but was worried about her safety. He felt warm and sad in his heart. He held her hand tightly and said, "No, our carefully planned plan worked. He believed what I said and let me go."

Yun Youying heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, "That's good."

Thinking that Xu Wusheng was able to come out today and that Shi Jin and Fan Hua also helped, she felt very grateful.

"This matter is also thanks to Jin'er and the others for their help."

Indeed, the plan given by Shi Jin was very ingenious. Combined with his plan, it was a perfect match and could conceal the truth from the world.

Xu Wusheng looked serious and said firmly: "Well, I owe them a favor, and I will repay them in the future."

At this time, a guard ran over hurriedly and caught everyone's attention.

Yun Zhengting saw that it was the guard he sent out to deliver the letter, so he asked, "What happened?"

"My Lord, Prince Jing'an has arrived in Beijing."

When these words were spoken, everyone except Xu Wusheng was shocked.

All this was part of their plan. The previous emperor passed away, the General's Mansion lost its power, Qin Yixian became extremely powerful, and no one in the court could contend with him. Someone who could control him had to come back and take charge of the situation, and that person was Prince Jing'an.

In addition, if his plan fails, King Jing'an will be his trump card and lifeline.

Therefore, before going to prison, Feng Nanyiyi wrote a letter in his name and sent it to Liangzhou.

Now it seems that everything came just right.

After a while, Xu Wusheng saw that Yun Youying was no longer in danger of his life, so he left on the pretext of having something to do.

After Xu Wuchen returned to the palace, Qin Yixian asked him to meet at Wenyuan Pavilion to plot how to deal with King Jing'an.

As soon as Xu Wuchen entered Wenyuan Pavilion, he angrily overturned everything on the desk.

Xu Wuchen vented all the anger he had endured outside at this moment.

He cursed: "Prince Jing'an deserves to die. He doesn't take me seriously at all."

"Your Majesty, please do not be angry. Let's get rid of him together."

Xu Wuchen's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this, "Oh? What's Prime Minister Qin's plan?"

Seeing Xu Wuchen's anxious look, Qin Yixian curled up his lips into a sly smile.

He calmly said, "No hurry, this matter needs to be carefully planned before it can be carried out, but there are other things that need your Majesty to do right now."

"What's the matter?" Xu Wuchen asked puzzledly.

"Your Majesty sent a few eunuchs to Changliu Villa to take care of King Jing'an's food and daily life."

A hint of understanding flashed across Xu Wuchen's eyes.

In a blink of an eye, he showed an ignorant look and said dissatisfiedly: "Prince Jing'an doesn't give me any face at all, why should I send people to take care of him!"

Qin Yixian saw that Xu Wuchen was so stupid that he couldn't even see this and dared to disobey him, so he glared at him and said, "Huh?"

Xu Wuchen timidly avoided his sharp gaze.

Qin Yixian put away the sharpness in his eyes and explained: "We sent people there to monitor King Jing'an. As long as we grasp his movements, we can deal with him with half the effort. So your majesty's feelings are not important at this point. Those who achieve great things must learn to be patient."

Qin Yixian's attitude was firm and his tone did not allow for any refusal.

When Xu Wuchen heard Qin Yixian say that his feelings were not important, a hint of hatred and dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He lowered his eyes and said, "I know."

He recalled that King Jing'an had sent troops to question him, and he said hastily, "It was Prime Minister Qin's idea to prevent the late emperor's edict from reaching Liangzhou. King Jing'an now wants me to give him an explanation. What should I do?"

Qin Yixian sneered, "It's easy, just find a few scapegoats."

Qin Yixian suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Okay, I will listen to Prime Minister Qin"

After Qin Yixian and Xu Wuchen chatted for a while, they left in a hurry.

Seeing this, Dacheng walked in from outside, looked at Xu Wuchen with an unclear expression, and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty wants to overthrow Prime Minister Qin, wouldn't it be better to let King Jing'an deal with him? Why did you join hands with Prime Minister Qin to deal with him?"

"Prime Minister Qin is hateful, but he is willing to let me sit on the throne. But Prince Jing'an is different. He likes Xu Wusheng and has always been displeased with me. Once Prime Minister Qin is eliminated, he may nominate Xu Wusheng to ascend the throne. How should I deal with it then? So it is better to get rid of him first."

As Xu Wuchen spoke, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He wished that Qin Yixian would help him get rid of King Jing'an, so that the two tigers would fight each other and both would suffer losses, and he would reap the benefits.

When Dacheng heard Xu Wuchen's words, he showed approval in his eyes, "Your Majesty has thought it through."

After Qin Yixian returned home, the housekeeper came to report that Weidong was waiting for him in the front hall. Realizing what had happened, he hurried over.

As soon as he came up, he asked directly: "Why are you looking for me?"

"His Highness the Fourth Prince is unwilling to come out of prison and insists that you go see him."

Wei Dong's words were quite tactful. He did not directly say "please" but used the word "see" instead.

Qin Yixian was so angry when he heard this that he laughed and said, "He is putting on airs at this time because he is sure that I dare not do anything to him."

Weidong did not express his opinion and remained silent.

Qin Yixian calmed down and said, "Let's go meet him and see what tricks you want to play."

Soon, Qin Yixian and Wei Dong came to the cell. Xu Wusheng waited for the person he wanted to see. He came to his senses instantly and stood up leisurely and said, "Finally, he's here."

Qin Yixian looked at him seriously and asked, "Your Highness, why do you insist on seeing me?"

Xu smiled silently and said, "Of course I will wait for Prime Minister Qin to take me back home."

Qin Yixian was a little bit unbelieving, "You want me to take you there?"

Xu Wusheng nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, Prime Minister Qin brought me here in front of everyone. In the eyes of outsiders, I am a guilty person. Now that the truth is out, Prime Minister Qin should personally send me back to clear my name."

Every word Xu Wusheng said made sense, but it sounded harsh to Qin Yixian.

Because he knew that Xu Wusheng was intentionally humiliating him.

Qin Yixian was filled with resentment, but he couldn't get angry because he was in the wrong first. He had deliberately detained and coerced Xu Wusheng during this period of time. Qin Yixian was angry and would naturally vent his anger on himself when he got the chance.

Qin Yixian suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth: "Since Your Highness says so, then I will send Your Highness back."

Xu Wusheng pushed forward and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister Qin. Remember to make a big show. I am afraid that others will not know that I am back."

Wei Dong, who was standing by, was worried for Xu Wusheng as he watched him intentionally provoke Qin Yixian with every word he said being provocative.

Qin Yixian frowned, snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Xu Wusheng's lips curled up into a smug smile. It felt really good to bully others by taking advantage of one's power. No wonder some of the children of the rich and powerful liked to take advantage of others' power.

Qin Yixian asked Wei Dong to lead a guard team to lead the way, while Xu Wusheng and he sat in the carriage and drove towards Xu Wusheng's residence.

Qin Yixian sat in the carriage with a gloomy expression.

Xu Wusheng ignored him and lifted the curtain to admire the street view.

Pedestrians avoided their carriage and looked at Qin Yixian inside the carriage with fear in their eyes.

Qin Yixian's face in the carriage turned even darker.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Xu Wusheng's mansion, and at the same time, a gorgeous and spacious carriage also stopped at the door.

Xu Wusheng saw the place and went down first. Qin Yixian didn't move at all, obviously not wanting to follow.

People from another carriage also got out. They were Prince Jing'an and Xu Zhijing.

Seeing this, Xu Wusheng went up to him with a smile on his face and called out respectfully, "Uncle Taiwang."

Qin Yixian, who was in the carriage, suddenly darkened his eyes when he heard "Uncle Tai Wang".

When Prince Jing'an saw Xu Wusheng, he was surprised at first. Then, seeing his unclean appearance, he frowned and asked with concern, "Fourth Prince, why do you look like this?"

After King Jing'an finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Wusheng, who was leading the team, as well as the guards and carriage behind him. He seemed to notice something was wrong and his eyes became sharp.

Wei Dong felt the oppressive gaze of King Jing'an and immediately lowered his eyes.

At this time, Qin Yixian came out of the carriage and went straight to King Jing'an.

When King Jing'an saw Qin Yixian, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice: "So Prime Minister Qin is here too."

Qin Yixian heard this and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I met King Jing'an here."

"Why did Prime Minister Qin come back with His Highness the Fourth Prince?"

"Recently, I asked Your Highness to help investigate a traitor case. Now that the case has been investigated, I will send Your Highness back home."

Seeing this, Xu Wusheng smiled and said lightly: "Indeed, I just came out from Prime Minister Qin and haven't had time to clean up yet. I hope Uncle Taiwang won't mind."

Prince Jing'an could probably guess what Xu Wusheng was saying from the hidden meaning in his words and the weird atmosphere between him and Qin Yixian.

He glanced at Qin Yixian and said, "I see. Prime Minister Qin is dedicated to his work and takes care of everything himself. He is truly a pillar of our dynasty."

Although these words were clearly words of praise for him, coming from Prince Jing'an's mouth, they sounded like irony and mockery.

When it comes to sarcasm, who can compare to these two people in front of me?

A flash of anger flashed across Qin Yixian's face, but it was quickly suppressed.

He still maintained his composure and complimented, "Prince Jing'an, you are too kind. In terms of hard work and great contributions, I am far inferior to you."

Qin Yixian just felt uncomfortable all over at the moment, and didn't want to stay here any longer, so he bowed and said goodbye, "I won't disturb you two from reminiscing about the past, I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, Qin Yixian left immediately.
