Miao Qiyuan is good at poison.

But he recently realized something was wrong.

Two consecutive failures in the plan may seem like coincidences to others, but he has always cherished his life and believed in the existence of fate.

He felt that it was not suitable for him to take action recently.

Especially since Prince An seemed to have some problems with his mentality, he was only worried that he would get himself involved in his impulse.

So Miao Qiyuan could only think of ways to make Prince An change his plan, and it would be best if he could kill someone with a borrowed knife.

But the princes in the court were not stupid - at least not stupid enough to be hopeless.

The eldest prince Yan Zhang and the second prince Yan Ming were injured and bedridden. They have been very quiet these days. The other princes are watching the situation quietly and have not made any moves, as if they have accepted the decision of the princess to be the emperor, which broke the ancestral system.

There is not a suitable opportunity to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

After thinking for a long time, Miao Qiyuan persuaded: "After the New Year and the beginning of spring, the princess should make some drastic decisions. Your Majesty should wait for the opportunity to avoid being caught."

Yan Ling looked at him coldly: "You know that I have the least chips in my hand. Once Yan Donghuang sits firmly in that position, how can I have a chance to get what I want?"

Miao Qiyuan frowned: "It is because I have the least chips that I can't act rashly."

Yan Ling was silent, his expression gloomy and difficult to understand.

"Your Majesty can gain her trust first." Miao Qiyuan said, "Military generals value righteousness and are ruthless to the enemy, but they have the righteousness of the country in their hearts. As long as Your Majesty is willing to consider the livelihood of the people, the soldiers of the army, and the long-term interests of the country, the princess will definitely trust Your Majesty and even reuse Your Majesty."

Yan Ling was silent, as if thinking about his words, but his eyebrows were always tightly locked, and he was quite unwilling.

Thinking about the recent change in Yan Donghuang's attitude towards him, Yan Ling always felt that she had been on guard against him.

I don't know if she noticed something, or if it was really as she said, because of her ambition, she completely abandoned family affection and only considered the monarch and the ministers instead of brothers?

"Your Highness, those who plan big things need patience." Miao Qiyuan's tone was heavy, revealing a bit of bewitching, "I believe that other princes should be more anxious than you, Your Highness, you can wait for them to fight to the death, and finally reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"You say it nicely." Yan Ling said coldly, "The more princes die, the more stable Yan Donghuang's position will be."

Which courtier would not be afraid of a king who holds a large army and is ruthless?

The princes were eliminated one after another, and her throne would only become more stable, and no one could shake it in the end.

"Your Highness, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days." Miao Qiyuan lowered his voice, and there was a bit of coldness in his eyes, "Even if she sits firmly on the throne, what does it matter? As long as you find an opportunity to poison, it is not uncommon for the king to die suddenly. At that time, Your Highness, as the only blood of the royal family, all the civil and military officials in the court will only beg you to ascend the throne."

Paused, "If Your Highness can build a good relationship with the Qingluan Army before this, when the empress dies suddenly in the future, the Qingluan Army will not only not become an obstacle to you, but will loyally assist you and become your most loyal backing."

Yan Ling closed his eyes gently, thought for a long time, and finally listened to Miao Qiyuan's words.

He knew that he was far from being Yan Donghuang's opponent. Even if he really succeeded, with so many people competing for the throne, he would be the one with the least advantage.

If we can wait until Yan Donghuang eliminates the other princes, then we can find an opportunity...

Yan Ling nodded slowly: "Okay, as you say."

Miao Qiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "Your Majesty is wise, I will take my leave first."

After that, he turned and walked out.

Yan Ling sat on the couch, thinking quietly. The hidden chess in the palace cannot be moved for the time being. If she needs to take action in the future, she will be the most useful chess piece.

What he has to do now is to find a way to instigate other brothers to seek death on their own initiative, and it would be best if they all die within two years...

A sharp pain suddenly came without warning.

Yan Ling's face turned pale, and he suddenly raised his hand to cover his heart, shouting: "Miao Qiyuan!"

Miao Qiyuan, who had just stepped out of the door, heard this shout, his heart skipped a beat, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Yan Ling, but saw that he was holding the clothes on his chest tightly, and his face was abnormally pale.

Miao Qiyuan took two steps at a time and walked to Yan Ling, squatting down, and hurriedly pinched his wrist to feel his pulse.

In just a few moments, Yan Ling's face turned pale with pain, and he was sweating profusely. It felt like there were millions of bugs biting his internal organs.

The piercing pain came with such force that it caught people off guard.

Feeling the abnormal pulse under his fingertips, Miao Qiyuan's face changed little by little, solemn and horrified: "Your Highness is poisoned by the fragrance Gu."

"Fragrance Gu?" Yan Ling's face was distorted with pain, "What...what is this?"

"It is a kind of Gu insect, which has always been raised by women. Because it likes to eat all kinds of fragrant flowers, the insect body has a strong fragrance, so it is called fragrance Gu." Miao Qiyuan frowned, "Did Your Highness see any strange people today?"

Yan Ling curled up his body, cold sweat oozing out of his forehead, and a beautiful and pretty girl's face appeared in his mind. He gritted his teeth and said: "In the Princess's Mansion... I saw a girl, who looked very unfamiliar. I heard... I heard that she was Xie Yunjian's fiancée..."

Miao Qiyuan's face changed suddenly. An unfamiliar girl?

Could it be that Yan Donghuang had already noticed that they had poisoned her, but never made it public, but secretly found someone who was equally good at poisoning to deal with them?

"Quickly... think of a way..." Yan Ling hissed. The severe pain made him almost lose his mind. Blue veins popped out on his forehead, and his voice was squeezed out from between his teeth. "Quickly think of a way... think of a way to detoxify this king... "

Miao Qiyuan came back to his senses and looked at him with some confusion: "Only the person who raises the fragrant Gu can do something about it, I...I can't do anything about it..."

Overwhelming pain hit her, and Yan Ling clutched the pillow on the couch tightly. The veins on the back of her hands were bulging, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

He raised his head, gritted his teeth and said, "What should I do? This king...do I want to live in pain to death?"

"This... this won't..." Miao Qiyuan hesitated, "Fragrant poison is usually used by women to torture people who have betrayed their hearts. It is in line with her purpose of revenge that the other party should be punished like this for a long time. Every time The pain lasted half an hour and was over after the first attack..."

Half an hour?

Yan Ling was shocked and angry. Will this torture last for half an hour?

"There is another way." Miao Qiyuan looked at Yan Ling, "If it is confirmed that the person who poisoned is that girl, we can only ask her, but whether it will succeed or whether she will admit it is still unknown..."

Yan Ling didn't speak, her breathing was rapid, and the cold sweat on her face made her eyes seem to be covered with a layer of fog, and she couldn't even see Miao Qiyuan's face clearly.

He was curled up on the couch like a trapped animal. If he didn't have to maintain a little princely demeanor, he would have been rolling on the ground in pain.

Seeing this, Miao Qiyuan could only turn around and leave the house, stood in the yard to calm down, thought for a while, and finally ordered someone to call Xiao Yan, the commander of Prince An's Mansion.

"Commander Xiao, take the prince's token and quickly go to the imperial hospital to ask for a doctor to come over and say that Prince An has been poisoned."

"The prince was poisoned?" Xiao Yan, the commander of the guards, changed his expression. "How could he be poisoned? Can the imperial doctor detoxify him?"

"The imperial doctor may not have a way to detoxify the poison, but the prince went to the eldest princess's house and was poisoned when he came back. The emperor must know about this." Miao Qiyuan said in a gloomy tone, "Even if we have no evidence to prove that it was the eldest princess who did it. It should also plant a seed of doubt in the emperor’s heart.”

Commander Xiao looked confused and wanted to ask more questions, but even Miao Qiyuan was helpless about the poison, and the imperial doctor was afraid that there was nothing he could do.

The top priority is to let the emperor know about this.

He said nothing more and quickly turned around and left.

Miao Qiyuan stood in the yard, watching his departing back without saying a word, his face pale and gloomy, showing abnormal anxiety.

The eldest princess' abilities really exceeded his expectations.
