Strange Tale of Qingluan

All the ministers in the Zhishu compound let the men in black take advantage of their sweet dreams to take the strange medicine that emits black smoke when crushed, but only two people escaped the catastrophe. Because they are not mortals, they can detect those sneaky shadows hiding in the dark.

Naturally, they didn't inhale that strange black smoke, they just let the man in black see the illusion that they had already inhaled it. As soon as the man in black left, they spit it out from their throats again.

That day, in the Zhishu compound, there were fifteen people, except for these two, the other ministers were all very strange, as if they had lost their minds, and seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, and they could not feel the smell of "human". .He Wukui secretly met Yi Yeqing who was at the side, and discussed with these delirious ministers about the election of a new king.

He knew that they were all poisoned by the same strange black smoke, and it was really difficult to force this kind of thing out of the mortal body, so he could only listen to their words with a smile, without expressing any opinions, because they had already suffered It is useless to control people and give opinions.

The only way is to force out the instigator who hides and manipulates all this...

Must be hiding somewhere.

He Wukui gestured to the young man surnamed Yi with his eyes.

The young man understood, but said nothing.

It must be in the harem... and watching the prince...

Who do you think it will be?

He Wukui shook his fan leisurely, and then signaled him with eyesore.

The young man lowered his eyes, but he was thinking in his heart:

Mufeng Club...

must be...

He Wukui squinted at him: What should I do?If I can't find a solution, I'll go back to Lan Dan's old house and live in seclusion in the countryside for the rest of my life.

The young man frowned slightly, thought for a while, and raised his eyes: Think of a way to let the prince know?After all, the person they are staring at is the prince, we cannot enter the forbidden area of ​​the harem, but the prince can, let the prince know so that we can force this person out together.

He Wukui slightly raised the corners of her lips: The prince probably doesn't trust others easily, why don't you just reveal your identity!He won't distrust people from his sect.

The young man glanced at him quietly, the corners of his lips moved slightly, it was just a lip talk, but no voice came out: "What about you?" The fan swinger was still shaking the fan leisurely, and also said with his lips, "I'm a newcomer, It's not on the list in Qingluan City, so I can't tell the outside world for the time being."

The young man lowered his eyes again: Alright...

On June [-]th, the weather was very hot. In Changning Hall, Su Zhongming was wearing only a thin robe, and he was sitting leisurely in the porch with a cup filled with iced water.

"Hey, you." The voice that annoyed him sounded again, his leisurely expression immediately disappeared, and he finally took a sip of ice water, stood up, splashed it on the ground outside, and turned his back to the princess Just leave, "Hey what, I have a name, can't you call it?"

The owner of Anle County showed a dissatisfied look, stepped slightly on the platform, and still followed, "Do you know martial arts? Why don't we show off your skills!" The boy replied as he walked, "I don't know martial arts here, I just don't know martial arts here. Know the 'martial arts' over there."

Princess Anle didn't quite understand what she heard, so she pouted drunk and complained a little, "If you know it, you won't, and if you don't, you won't, so what's the point here?" Su Zhongming answered neatly, "No, you can go to Wulin Master, let's go!" With one sentence, he wanted to perfunctory her to leave.Princess Anle knew that he said that on purpose, snorted, and never followed.

"Zhongming, come here." Shi Chaojing stood outside the room and greeted him.He walked up quickly, followed her into the room, sat down, and listened to what she had to explain.Shi Chaojing sat upright, and opened her red lips, "Your Majesty, like the previous King Wen, also had no children during his lifetime, and your father and the previous King Wen are brothers, close to orthodox."

Although there was no clarity in the words, Su Zhongming had already understood what she meant, and answered calmly: "Isn't the fourth uncle more orthodox? He was born to Prince Pleiades and Concubine Kong Zhen, and he is more orthodox than the previous King Wen! "

Shi Chaojing patted his head lightly, "You little boy, my concubine wants you to ascend to the throne and become the king! Your fourth uncle is still abroad and hasn't come back yet. We just need to seize the time and concentrate our forces, and we can put him on the throne." How many times!"

Su Zhongming couldn't understand what was answered, and remained calm, "I don't want to be the lord of the country, I just want to live a more comfortable and carefree life, the lord of the country is too boring, I don't want to do it." After speaking, suddenly There was a burst of vines growing in the left ear, and Shi Chaojing closed his ear, showing impatience, "Bastard boy, you gave it to your fourth uncle, right? If you give it to him, we mother and son will be finished." , after he ascends the throne, the first thing he will do is drive us out of the palace!"

With such a mention, Su Zhongming suddenly remembered that she had a family feud with those four princes in the past.

Shi Chaojing continued: "We will live a miserable life in the future, and we will have to live in a humble house in the wild, and even have to go out of Mai Zhenjie for the sake of prosperity! Do you want this kind of life?"

Su Zhongming was taken aback for a moment, his mind was full of thoughts.If they really want to fall to that point, wouldn't the mother and son want to make a fortune together?With a background from the royal family, he must be favored by those Fengliu sons, and by then, won't he become a name known throughout the country?In this way, not only the Ming Festival was lost, but also the reputation of Qingluan City was ruined...

He was dripping with cold sweat, and blurted out: "I... I'll take it for granted! Let go now."

Shi Chaojing immediately complied with his request, and let go of his hand, "It's not too bad, we... have no choice but to climb up, who said that the person who has made enemies with your mother and concubine is your fourth uncle?"

"How do we climb up? Powerful?" Su Zhongming tapped my swollen ear and got straight to the point.Shi Chaojing smiled, "A few days ago, my mother and concubine visited the Taifu, and he said that as long as Baiping is alone, he can help us." Then, he grabbed his guard and wrote a few words on his palm, "He asked You go find this person."

"Ah...?" Su Zhongming opened his mouth with a puzzled look on his face, "Looking for him? Is there anyone else?" He looked expectantly at her face, but she just froze for a moment, opened her lips, "My son has such a good relationship with him, wouldn't it be better to find him? He will definitely agree."

Su Zhongming raised his right hand and held his forehead, "But, he made a condition..." Shi Chaojing replied calmly, "Then promise him! As a man, he will definitely not make things difficult for you."

In an instant, Su Zhongming's shoulders collapsed, and he said in an even more bewildered tone, "Do you really want me to agree to his condition?" Shi Chaojing smiled at him, "Since the relationship is very good, I will definitely not be embarrassing." Human."

"Mother Concubine..." He blurted out, calling her so naturally for the first time, "Let me think about it, okay?" Shi Chaojing didn't know the inside story, and nodded simply.

Shouldn't she be more specific?Su Zhongming went out of the house, thinking: that condition is too strict, if it is a woman, I am afraid that she will marry in the end, but I am a man, so offering bigu is really a kind of trick.

He lingered in the corridor, walking back and forth no less than ten times, and finally mustered up the courage, thinking 'anyway, this kind of thing is very secret, and no one else knows', and finally went all out, planning to sacrifice once.

At sunset, he knocked on the door of Dingxuehou's mansion. The housekeeper knew him well, and let him in without asking any questions. He first went to see if Yitian was doing his homework, and then he went to see Dingxuehou , but at that time it happened that the man was still soaking in the bathtub in the bathroom, so he had to sit in the room and wait.

After a long time, the man came back slowly. After entering the room, he poured a cup of tea and took a sip before opening his lips, "It's so late, what do you want to come to my house?"

Su Zhongming handed him the book in his hand, "Give it back to you, your book." Ding Xuehou didn't reach out to take it, but said: "Put it on the table!" Su Zhongming did as he said, and put the book on the table superior.Dingxuehou put down the curtain, turned around and saw that he was still sitting there, and immediately became suspicious, "Why don't you go back? When Haishi comes, the gate of the palace will be closed."

Su Zhongming opened his mouth and poured out his unhappiness to him, "You are right, she will force me to fight for the throne." The man snorted softly, "Officials and eunuchs, even if you close your eyes, you will know: which one lives in the world?" Women in the royal family don’t want their sons to fight for the throne and become the next generation of kings? They want to be queen mothers and want to go crazy.”

"I really don't want to be the lord of the country!" Su Zhongming patted his big retreat, "But who told her that she had an enmity with the fourth prince's family back then, and when the fourth prince came back, he succeeded her as the next generation lord, so I will have a close relationship with her." It's over! Instead of waiting for him to take revenge, it's better to climb up and get him down!"

"How do you want to climb? Do you want to win over the adults in the Zhishu compound?"

"I don't know them. However, based on my character, I should be able to pass the test with them. I haven't committed the crime once. The fourth prince has already committed the crime and was left outside! I still have an advantage." Su Zhongming showed an appearance that he was determined to win, but Ding Xuehou didn't agree, "The world is unpredictable, maybe he is scheming and has already planned a strategy on the road."

Su Zhongming showed a look of dissatisfaction, "Don't build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige." As soon as he said this, he didn't expect the man to answer like this, and the man said indifferently: "You and I are not 'one of our own'. ', you and him, whoever becomes the new king have nothing to do with me."

...Official positions are still held, and salaries are still taken, without any loss.

Su Zhongming understood what he was thinking, frowned slightly, and stuck the words he wanted to say most in his throat, but he couldn't summon up the courage to escape.It's really... too hard to say, that thing...

He tried to persuade him in the most common way, "No matter what, you can be regarded as a friend. You have to help me anyway. When I win the throne, I will definitely not treat you badly, and I will definitely give you a bonus."

"How can I help you? I'm not from the Zhishu compound." Ding Xuehou had an appearance and attitude that had nothing to do with him.Su Zhongming stood up abruptly, and replied: "You are a high official, you have power!"
