Chapter 187: Using Human Lives as Chess Pieces
Feng Lin braved the heavy snow and ran out of the mansion to find doctors, but those doctors could not stop the bleeding. He went to the palace to ask for the better doctors from Southern Xinjiang. But even so, he was harassed by the people in the palace. Those doctors kept making excuses and refused to treat his mother.
Finally Feng Lin simply held the sword against the neck of the highest-ranking imperial physician. The physician was so frightened that his legs were shaking and he had no choice but to follow him. After treatment, he barely survived.
After this incident, Fenglin searched frantically for evidence, and finally confirmed that the person who chopped off his legs was not someone else, but the queen at the time. He handed all the evidence and charges against the queen to his father.
But the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang at that time actually tore up the things he had found with great difficulty, and angrily accused him of being unfilial. He said that the current queen was his mother, and the person who gave birth to him and raised him was not worthy of his yelling, and even drew his sword against the imperial physician.
That day, not only did he fail in his lawsuit, he was also convicted.
He was beaten with eighty strokes of the cane and was paralyzed in bed for several days, unable to get out of bed.
The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang coveted his ability, and when he saw that he was not beaten to death, he sent imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau to take care of him.
A few days later, he went to court as usual, as if nothing had happened. He continued to do what he was supposed to do with all his heart and soul as before.
The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang gradually let down his guard and once again gave him some important tasks that no one else could accomplish.
In this way, another year and a half passed, and by the time the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang realized the problem, everything had already gone out of his control.
He no longer followed the principles and bottom lines that he cared about before, but tried his best to slowly take power into his own hands. Because he was born in a humble family and had no support from aristocratic families, there were many voices in the court that dared to oppose him. He did not refute them, but just smiled quietly at them.
Then, he used his real ability to solve problems to climb up step by step. Those court officials who had been at odds with him were either imprisoned or died suddenly.
A year ago, the Queen was diagnosed with an extremely terrible disease.
Worms began to grow on her limbs, causing unbearable pain and itching, and gnawing at her bones and heart. Occasionally, the worms would crawl out of her arms and thighs, leaving behind holes, which was extremely horrifying.
In order to avoid such pain, the queen wanted to commit suicide.
But Feng Lin did not allow it, and instead ordered people to chop off her limbs and keep them in a large water tank. Later, because the queen glared at him and scolded him all day, her eyes were dug out and her tongue was cut off. But he still did not want her to die, so he ordered the imperial physician to use precious medicinal herbs to prolong her life, leaving her unable to live or die.
To this day, although he is still the crown prince of Southern Xinjiang, he has not ascended the throne.
But in fact, the entire southern Xinjiang is already in his hands.
The current Emperor of Southern Xinjiang is like a puppet that belongs to him alone. He has a dull expression, trembles with fear, and often does crazy things.
The ministers in the court had long been replaced by those who only served him, each doing their own job and not daring to have any dissenting thoughts.
The Moon-Glowing Grass was the Queen's favorite flower to tend to. The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang admired the Queen's gorgeous appearance, but was also wary of the family power behind her, so he built a garden for her, which was full of Moon-Glowing Grass.
The first thing Feng Lin did after taking power was to order the eradication of the Moonlight Grass in the entire southern Xinjiang, leaving only the ones in the garden. That garden has now become a forbidden area in southern Xinjiang.
Bai Wei closed the scroll.
It is said that a happy childhood can heal a lifetime, but an unhappy childhood takes a lifetime to heal.
Ouyang Yi said calmly: "You are not allowed to judge the matter between Feng Lin and the Southern Frontier Imperial Court. But Feng Lin was able to climb out of the hunting grounds in just a few years and become the crown prince of Southern Frontier, taking charge of the entire Southern Frontier Imperial Court. His strong action, scheming, and ruthless methods are all extraordinary. If it is not necessary, I don't want you to have any intersection with him."
Bai Wei thought about the records about Moonlight Grass that she had read in the ancient books before.
Moonflower is a hairless plant with a dark green body. The stems lie flat or lean on the ground, spreading on the ground, and are light green or dark red. The leaves are alternate, sometimes nearly opposite, and the leaves are flat, obovate, and horse-tooth-shaped. It has no flowers and fruits, and is up to one foot tall.
The appearance of moon grass is very ordinary. According to the description, it is somewhat similar to purslane. However, the biggest difference between it and other plants is that at night, in places where moonlight can reach, its originally emerald green body will glow with a faint blue light, which is very beautiful.
"But I have already agreed with Fenglin that I will go to Southern Xinjiang with him in two and a half months to treat his mother."
Originally, she didn't know who the patient Feng Lin was talking about was, but if what was written in the scroll was true, the patient he was talking about was most likely his biological mother. If Feng Lin was really as written in the scroll, if she didn't show up in two and a half months, it was hard to imagine what he would do given his temperament.
Ouyang Yi said calmly, "It's okay. We have deliberately concealed our identities this time, and our voices have also been deliberately changed. He doesn't know our true identities. Two and a half months later, I will arrange for a deadpool to go with him to Southern Xinjiang, and arrange an assassination in Southern Xinjiang, and let the deadpool die in this assassination. By then, even if he is unwilling, he will be powerless."
Originally he was not completely confident, but now that Wei'er has those things to deal with poisonous insects, the safety has been greatly improved.
After hearing these words, Bai Wei was slightly startled and looked at Ouyang Yi.
All along, in her eyes, Ouyang Yi was the glorious Prince Yi, often even making her forget that she was once the military god of Dong Qin and had fought her way out of a sea of blood.
Although he has handed over his military power, he has secretly established Mingjin Pavilion, a place with unparalleled technology in the world, in the capital.
Now we can even find out the royal secrets that Southern Xinjiang tries hard to hide.
What's more, the secret of Southern Xinjiang was just a scroll in this secret chamber, but there were tens of thousands of scrolls here. She didn't even dare to imagine what was written in them and how many shocking contents there were.
Deadpool, assassination, so easily planned and arranged... This shows that he had already secretly trained a lot of people, and they should be elite.
If Feng Lin is dangerous, then what is hidden behind him is not simple either.
Ouyang Yi regretted it after he said it.
It's not that he regretted telling her about his own affairs. After all, on the day she took his jade pendant, he had already planned to let her know everything about himself.
But now, hearing her silence, I still feel uneasy for no reason, afraid that she will be afraid of me because of this.
Yes, he is like this, so despicable, so unbearable.
Therefore, whenever she praised him in front of others, although he was happy, he also felt nervous for no reason, because he knew that he was never the handsome, noble and gentle gentleman that she imagined.
He calculated everyone and planned the affairs of the world. He often used human lives as chess pieces and the world as a chessboard, pushing step by step towards the outcome he wanted.
Yes, what qualifications did he have to say that Fenglin was dangerous? He had even planned deeper, further, and longer than him.
"Weier, are you...afraid of me?"
