Chapter 61 The Prime Minister's Methods
Dark Moon Fairy rode on a steed and led a group of people galloping in the night. Shang Zhi was full of doubts and couldn't help asking: "Master, why don't you just kill the owner of the black shop?"
Dark Moon Fairy smiled, as if she had anticipated this question. Her eyes gleamed with shrewdness as she answered, "This is a great opportunity to make a fortune. How could I be so stupid as to cut off my own financial resources!" Her voice revealed her desire and pursuit for wealth.
Shang Zhi's face twitched, and she was obviously not satisfied with the Pavilion Master's answer. She said worriedly: "When we come back, the owner of the black shop may have already left!"
However, Dark Moon Fairy did not seem to take Shang Zhi's worries to heart. She was extremely happy to receive this huge treasure.
She explained with rare patience: "Don't worry, he can't run away! When I have time one day, I will go to visit his master. I guess it might be a gold mine!" Her tone was full of anticipation and excitement, as if she had already seen endless wealth beckoning to her.
Shang Zhi fell silent. She knew that Dark Moon Fairy would become obsessed with gold, silver and jewelry. Her obsession with wealth made people feel helpless!
Shang Zhi secretly speculated that the Dark Moon Fairy might have attacked Longgu Village just to covet the treasure there! However, unexpectedly, she became famous in this battle and became a feared figure in the world!
Dark Moon Fairy and her men traveled for five days, passing through several cities and staying in five inns. However, Dark Moon Fairy's face became increasingly gloomy, getting uglier day by day.
The sword spirit finally couldn't hold back any longer, and he asked cautiously, "Pavilion Master, are you unhappy about something?"
Dark Moon Fairy sighed, "We are almost at Nanyi, but we haven't even encountered a single shady shop! This is so boring!"
Everyone was silent when they heard this, secretly wondering, is there anyone who is looking forward to being ripped off by a black shop? No, it should be the Pavilion Master who is looking forward to ripping off the black shop!
Mu San smiled slightly and said, "Pavilion Master, we will reach the city of Nanyi in one day. I heard that Xiao Jingyi of Wu'an Palace has collected many rare treasures and placed them in the palace."
Dark Moon Fairy raised the whip in her hand suddenly and shouted excitedly: "Speed up! We must enter Nanyi City before dark!" There was a greedy light in her eyes, and she seemed to be eager to seize those treasures.
Everyone sensed her desire and sped up their horses, galloping towards Nanyi City.
Du Heng was confused. Should we protect Princess Nanzhi or rob her?
At midnight, everything was quiet and the Imperial Observatory was serene. Suddenly, a mysterious guest quietly arrived. The visitor was wearing a black cloak, as if he had merged into the darkness, making it impossible to peek at his true appearance.
When Ning Yuan, the director of the Imperial Observatory, saw this uninvited guest, he could not help but feel a surge of fear in his heart. Cold sweat kept oozing out of his forehead, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Ning Yuan tried to calm himself down, bowed tremblingly, and asked with a trembling voice: "I wonder what the Prime Minister wants to talk to you about so late at night?"
Prime Minister Li Mingfu slowly took off his cloak and hat. The dim candlelight reflected on his face, making his expression look a little gloomy. He sat down at the table without saying a word, and then said lightly: "Master Ning, please sit down!" Then, he gracefully picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and gently pushed one of them in front of Ning Yuan.
After Ning Yuan sat down, he quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He was nervous. Whenever something happened, whether it was a dispute in the court or a trivial matter in the harem, these powerful people would not hesitate to put the blame on the Imperial Observatory. He knew very well how insignificant and helpless he was in this vortex of power, but he was powerless to change it all.
If he really had the ability to observe the stars at night and get a glimpse of the laws of nature, he would certainly become a free and easy wealthy man. Why would he have to stay suffocated in this cold and lonely observatory, living in fear all the time, fearing that his head would fall off!
Li Mingfu remained silent and just drank a few cups of tea. The string in Ning Yuan's heart, which had been tense all the time, broke with a "bang" at this moment! His emotions collapsed instantly, and his voice was filled with tears: "Prime Minister! I really didn't say anything about this matter! But the Queen Mother..."
Li Mingfu patted his shoulder and said in a heavy tone: "Master Ning, why are you so confused! This world belongs to the Chu family, not the Xue family!"
Ning Yuan seemed to be struck by these words. His body softened and he slid directly from the stool to the ground, falling to his knees with a plop. He kowtowed to Li Mingfu repeatedly, and the sound of his forehead hitting the ground echoed in the silent room: "Prime Minister, please save me! Save me!"
Every time he kowtowed, he was filled with fear and despair, and his tears poured out like a flood, soaking the ground. This was a heinous crime of deceiving the emperor and destroying the entire clan!
He knew that the Prime Minister in front of him was his last hope. If he couldn't get his help, he would probably be doomed.
Li Mingfu looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes revealing a chilling calmness. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "The Crown Prince and several princes will suddenly fall ill tonight, and they need to choose concubines to bring good luck! You will go to the court tomorrow morning, and I don't need to teach you what to do, right?"
Ning Yuan buried his head, not daring to look directly into Li Mingfu's eyes, and answered tremblingly: "I...I will do my best to get this done for the Prime Minister!"
Li Mingfu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a satisfied smile: "Lord Ning has always loved cranes, I will send two over tomorrow!"
After hearing this, Ning Yuan quickly raised his head and said with gratitude, "Thank you, Prime Minister!"
The night was deep and everything was silent. Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the prince's bedroom: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unconscious!"
Immediately afterwards, the entire East Palace fell into chaos, with palace maids and eunuchs running around in panic. The imperial doctors were urgently summoned, their faces solemn, their brows furrowed, as they anxiously diagnosed the prince.
However, before they could find out the cause of the disease, several princes living in the outer palace also fell into coma one after another. Everyone in the Imperial Hospital was suddenly worried, and they were helpless in dealing with this strange disease.
Wen Mu, the director of the Imperial Hospital, reported to Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty! I am incompetent and have not found out what illness the Crown Prince and the princes have! At present, it seems that they are just unconscious. There is no danger to their lives!"
Emperor Wen waved his hand and asked Wen Mu to leave. He immediately summoned Ma Wei, the commander of the imperial guards, and said sternly, "Go! Investigate thoroughly for me! Who dared to murder my heir?"
As soon as Ma Wei left, the eunuch from the Haoxue Palace came running to report in a panic: "Your Majesty! Prince Xiao has fainted from the poison!"
When Emperor Wen heard this, his heart tightened, his heartbeat accelerated instantly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
