After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Shangguan Zhu's eyes lit up, "What a great idea!"

Shangguan Shu smiled in a secretive manner and said, "Now that Tan Zhi is not here, if we need to entrust this to someone we can trust, I'm afraid you are the only one who can do it."

Shangguan Zhu also volunteered, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely get it done now!"

Send Shangguan Zhu away.

Shangguan Shu called Yu Xi over.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Shangguan Shu handed him an empty green medicine bottle.

"Your Highness has a bottle of deadly poison that will kill you instantly. It should be hidden on her. Go steal it and pour the powder into this bottle. Just put some sand and flour in your Highness's medicine bottle!"

Yu Xi didn't understand Shangguan Shu's intention, but he would always do what Shangguan Shu told him to do.

Yu Xi did have some skills. He and Yu Jie's biological father was once a famous pickpocket. However, his stealing skills became so advanced that there was nothing left to steal on the streets, so he was beaten to death by a group of his peers.

Their mother couldn't afford to raise them, so she castrated them and wanted to send them to the palace. However, when checking their household registration background, the eunuch rejected the two brothers when he heard that their father was a pickpocket.

Fortunately, I met the young Prince of Zhenguo.

The young master was still ignorant at that time. He heard that they all knew how to steal, so he asked them to help him steal someone's heart!

They then practiced their skills hard, but the prince never said this sentence again.

After Yu Xi left, Yu Jie came in again to report.

The difference is that the look in Yu Jie's eyes when he looked at Shangguan Shu was a little weird.

Shangguan Shu asked, "Is it finished?"

Yu Jie frowned and replied, "Sir, it is built, but..."

Yu Jie wanted to ask how to use this thing, but he didn't dare to ask.

Do you want to raise a peerless beast?

Shangguan Shu's face was gloomy, his eyes were fixed on something leisurely, his thin lips slightly parted, as if he was talking to himself, "It will be fine once it is built..."

Yu Jie finally couldn't help asking, "Prince, what is this for?"

"You don't need to know, just back off!"

Yu Jie obediently retreated.

Only Shangguan Shu was left.

He sat quietly for a while, then took out a piece of paper.

The first characters are the three neatly written words "和离书".

Shangguan Shu looked at the words above and suddenly smiled, feeling cool and chilly.

There is no news from Zhao Ying yet.

Waiting for her divorce letter to arrive...

He imprisoned her!

A cage made of gold... a chain inlaid with gold and jade...

She is his princess, he will never let her down...

It doesn't matter if she doesn't love him or hate him, as long as she is by his side.

At that time, he would arrange for Zhao Ying to "fake her death". Not long after the divorce, Zhao Ying would "die". He begged Emperor Jianxi to bury Zhao Ying as his wife, and Emperor Jianxi would certainly agree.

This way, no matter her status or her entire person, she can't escape from his control!

This is great...

Shangguan Shu raised his head, closed his eyes and sighed.

Zhao Ying... Zhao Ying...

The next day.

Zhao Ying handed one million taels of silver to Nanny Li and asked her to go to the palace to deliver it to Zhao Yao.

Then she dismissed everyone and took out the bottle of poison that Zhao Yao had given her, a clear pink bottle with a drawstring neck. From the outside, one would never have guessed that it contained harmful poison.

Zhao Ying was still thinking about how to "poison" the old Duke without killing him... Just as he was thinking, news came from outside that Yu Xi wanted to go to the warehouse to find something for Shangguan Shu, but couldn't find it.

Zhao Ying initially asked the maids to help look for it, but the maids couldn't find it either, so Zhao Ying had to go by herself.

Worried that someone might accidentally touch the bottle of poison, Zhao Ying had to carry it with him.

After arriving at the warehouse and searching for a long time, although they still hadn't found it, Yu Xi suddenly decided not to look for it anymore.

Zhao Ying scolded Yu Xi a few words and went back with the maids.

Yu Xi placed the replaced celadon bottle in front of Shangguan Shu.

Shangguan Shu opened the medicine cabinet without saying a word and put the celadon bottle inside.

Then he left the study.

……

Zhao Ying was walking towards Qian Garden when he suddenly stopped and walked towards... Shangguan Shu's study.

She remembered that Shangguan Shu had a bottle of fake-death medicine in his medicine cabinet. Wouldn't it be better if she took some and drugged the old duke to deceive Zhao Yao temporarily?

At this time, Shangguan Shu didn't often stay in the study.

She went quietly and came back quietly.

Zhao Ying made up her mind, then asked the maids to leave and went to the study.

Sure enough, Shangguan Shu was not there.

Zhao Ying successfully opened his medicine cabinet, which contained a wide variety of medicines, and the medicine bottles were also colorful. Zhao Ying recalled what bottle the fake death medicine was in...Shangguan Shu, that bastard, didn't even mark the medicine bottles!

It's a red porcelain bottle!

She remembered what Shangguan Shu said!

Zhao Ying searched for the red porcelain bottle and finally found it in a corner. She put it in her pocket and left quietly.

Not long after she left, the old Duke arrived.

Also looking for medicine!

His eldest son had told him before that he had obtained a bottle of good medicine. He heard that the injury on His Majesty's waist had taken a long time to heal, so he planned to present the medicine to His Majesty.

Which bottle is it?

The old Duke knew all the medicines in Shangguan Shu's medicine cabinet. After a while, he found two bottles of colors he had never seen before, one green and one black...

Who would put trauma medicine in a black bottle? Is there poison in the black bottle?

The old Duke clicked his tongue and then put the celadon bottle into his pocket.

Soon, Shangguan Shu came back.

Why?

Just because Zhao Ying gave Zhao Yao the one million taels of silver note in the morning, Zhao Yao was so happy that her IQ went up. Then she remembered that Shangguan Shu had not yet removed the poison for her last night!

Zhao Yao didn't dare to offend Shangguan Shu again, so she asked someone to send Zhao Ying's antidote to Shangguan Shu in exchange for her own antidote.

Shangguan Shu then came back to get the medicine.

Then I discovered that the green porcelain bottle that originally contained the antidote was missing!

Shangguan Shu quickly called people over to ask, and it turned out that someone had indeed seen it. A servant girl saw the old duke coming.

Then Shangguan Shu remembered that the old Duke had asked him for trauma medicine. He had been thinking about Zhao Ying all the time in recent days and had actually forgotten about it.

The old Duke must have taken it, and he took the wrong one!

It’s obviously the black bottle!

Shangguan Shu went to Ning'an Hall without saying a word, and coincidentally, Zhao Ying was there too.

Originally, Zhao Ying and the old Duke had a close relationship like that of uncle and niece, but things became strained over the Shangguan Qingyue incident. Today, the old Duke's attitude towards Shangguan Qingyue improved, and Zhao Ying no longer had any problem with him.

The two were chatting about Zhao Ying's interesting childhood experiences.

The old Duke laughed, "I remember when Your Highness was a child, he pointed to a tree of green fruits and insisted on eating them. Your Majesty said they were not ripe yet, but Your Highness said they were already red!"

"Hahahahaha... Your Majesty and I have just realized that Your Highness does not distinguish between red and green..."

The corners of Zhao Ying's smiling lips froze.

She can't tell red from green?

So what did she hold?

Shangguan Shu, who rushed over from the study, just happened to hear these words. He suppressed the surge of emotion when he saw Zhao Ying and felt lucky that Zhao Ying didn't take the wrong one...
