The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 223 Taking advantage of the situation

She also said: "But I didn't expect that you, who usually look cold and annoying, are actually quite popular with little girls. The little girl you saved cried her eyes out because she was worried about you..."

"..."

The tent was extremely quiet, with only Jiang Wantang's voice softly echoing as she spoke incoherently.

Without noticing it at all, the person sleeping on the couch moved his fingers slightly...

As Jiang Wantang was talking, she realized she was being too long-winded and stopped.

At this moment, a hoarse and weak voice broke the silence in the air.

"Why are not you talking?"

Jiang Wantang was suddenly startled and her eyes instantly looked towards the bed, just in time to meet Xie Zhiyan's smiling and deep eyes.

For a moment, I forgot to react.

Zhang Long at the door was so excited that his eyes were red. He quickly came closer and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, you are finally awake!"

After saying that, he immediately ran out to find doctors to come and see him.

Xie Zhiyan sat up and looked at Jiang Wantang with a dark look in his eyes, half smiling and half laughing: "Jiang Wantang, why haven't I seen you talk so much before? You always disturb my sleep."

"I've said so much, but not a single word is pleasing to the ear..."

Jiang Wantang was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and smiled at him. Her smile was cunning and beautiful, and she spoke word by word, "But I'm telling the truth."

"There's still a lot of mess waiting for Master Xie to clean up."

"Master Xie, please don't try to be lazy and give up your responsibility."

After saying that, she stood up and stepped aside to make room for the doctors who had hurried over.

After the doctors took turns taking the patient's pulse, they all showed a look of surprise on their faces, confirming that it was undoubtedly the antidote.

Jiang Wantang felt instantly relieved. After confirming that Xie Zhiyan was fine, she walked out.

Xie Zhiyan looked at her thin back as she left, his eyes knowing deeply, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and in the end he didn't speak.

Afterwards, the doctors began to develop an antidote overnight to detoxify the villagers.

Fortunately, Xie Zhiyan was young and had a good foundation. He recovered most of his strength the next day after waking up and became the decisive and cruelest official of Dasheng again.

He quickly gathered everyone and deployed the next action.

The person who poisoned the Qi family was not from Dasheng, and the "Aconitum Flower" in the antidote only grows in the border areas of the southern border. All signs indicate that the Qi family is collaborating with the enemy and committing treason.

Beyond the southern border is the territory of Nanyue Kingdom.

The Qi family secretly colluded with the Nanyue Kingdom to create unrest in the Jiangnan area?

Since Ji Wuyuan ascended the throne, he has been suppressing his foreign relatives and taking all the power into his own hands, with the Qi family being the top priority.

Xie Zhiyan recalled that at the beginning of the year, the Qi family had been secretly communicating with the Northern Territory frequently, probably to win over the King of the Northern Territory, Ji Wuwang. After all, the most prestigious person in the fight for the throne that year was the Seventh Prince Ji Wuwang.

Even if he was defeated and retreated to the northern border, he was still the only one who could compete with Ji Wuyuan.

However, Ji Wuwang has always looked down on people like the Qi family who are fence-sitters and good at scheming for personal gain.

Not only that, the Nangong clan was behind Ji Wuwang back then. If the Qi family had not turned against him and added insult to injury, the Nangong clan would not have been destroyed so quickly.

Based on this, could it be that the Qi family failed to win over Ji Wuwang and turned around to collude with the Nanyue Kingdom?

However, the Nanyue Kingdom is located in a remote area and is short of supplies, especially weapons.

It's impossible that the Qi family chose the traditionally weak Nanyue Kingdom out of desperation. Besides, why should the Nanyue Kingdom rely on the Qi family, a declining family?

Considering that the Qi family had been active in the Jiangnan area before, Xie Zhiyan felt that this was something unusual.

In particular, when he first entered Jiangnan, those people seemed to be very afraid that Ji Wuyuan would go deep into Jiangnan.

Numerous doubts indicate that there must be something wrong with Jiangnan.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhiyan immediately wrote a secret letter and handed it to Zhang Long.

He whispered, "Send this secret letter to Mingzhou, to His Majesty."

"Also, call Lu Jinan over. I have something to tell him."

Zhang Long bowed and said, "Yes."

The sky gradually darkened.

When Lu Jinan came out of the tent, he happened to meet Jiang Wantang walking towards him. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Wantang nodded slightly and subconsciously asked, "Is Yunshang okay?"

She hadn't returned to the city for several days, and she didn't know how Yun Shang was doing.

Mentioning Yun Shang, the smile on Lu Jinan's face became more genuine: "Don't worry, young lady, everything is fine."

Then Lu Jinan took his leave and rode away.

Xie Zhiyan saw Jiang Wantang standing outside and walked out. In the night, the figures of the two were elongated.

Jiang Wantang spoke first: "What are you going to do next?"

Xie Zhiyan paused and said simply: "Take advantage of their own strategy."

Jiang Wantang raised her eyes to look at him and said calmly, "So you concealed the fact that this plague was caused by poisoning, and you didn't order the lifting of the blockade of this village."

"Yes." Xie Zhiyan smiled lazily, "Their goal is to make me burn the village and die here."

"The person behind the scenes is very careful and meticulous, and he takes every step carefully."

"Since they've gone to so much trouble to lure me into this, I certainly can't let their efforts go to waste."

Jiang Wantang instantly understood the deep meaning of his words. She raised her eyebrows and teased with a smile: "Master Xie is really... a fox spirit."

The smile on Xie Zhiyan's lips deepened: "Same here."

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, who were standing in the distance, looked at the two people standing outside the tent in the night.

Zhao Hu rubbed his eyes and said in surprise: "Am I seeing this right? Doesn't our master never get close to women?"

"Is that still our illustrious Lord Xie?"

Zhang Long rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Who else could it be if not an adult?"

Zhao Hu was still in disbelief, his eyes wide open: "Could it be that after our master fell ill, someone switched things up when we weren't paying attention?"

Zhang Long snorted coldly and said, "Why don't you go tell him in front of the adults and see if he'll beat you up. If he doesn't, it's fake. If he does, it's real."

Zhao Hu seemed to suddenly think of something, his body trembled subconsciously, and he grabbed Zhang Long's arm.

Zhang Long pushed him away in disgust: "Go away, go away, what are you doing?"

"How can a grown man be so scared? When did our adults become so scary?"

Zhao Hu said angrily: "I'm not afraid of the master, I'm afraid of the person next to him..."

Zhang Long looked at him and said disdainfully, "Second Miss Jiang is such a good girl, brave and resourceful. What is there to be afraid of?"

Ever since experiencing this "plague", Zhang Long has been extremely grateful and impressed by Jiang Wantang.

Zhao Hu hesitated to speak, and finally said mysteriously: "You will know later..."

Zhang Long sneered.

Starting in the second half of the night, a large number of "corpses" were pulled by carts and transported out of the village...
