279: C279 Poison Smoke

C279 Poison Smoke

"Hey..."

After a long time, Xiao Yun let out a long sigh.

"It is really difficult to take a step forward. It is really difficult to do one thing."

Leng Yueling also sighed.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Some things are originally difficult for humans. Young Master's ability to do all of these is already worthy of the reputation of a Saint Grade. After all, the affairs of the world are not something that a single person can handle."

Xiao Yun touched his nose, then smiled bitterly and said, "I will do my best and listen to the heaven's will. That's all I can do, but since I can do some of it, if I don't do it, I feel like... I owe you something."

Xiao Yun didn't say anything.

In his previous life, he had ordered and killed meaningless lives.

He had done things that even he could not forgive himself for.

Perhaps this was the reason why he did not feel angry the moment he died.

He admitted it.

He believed that this was the result he should have encountered.

It was as if he had started from the beginning of his life.

The name of Saint Grade came from an official's evaluation.

This instantly gave him a new idea.

One. Could an assassin become a saint?

Why not?

Can't bad people leave behind a good reputation?

As he thought about it, he suddenly smiled.

He immediately took a pen and paper and excitedly started to write and draw on it.

His drawing was very standard.

Just like a person who had studied architecture for several years, he quickly drew a seemingly simple yet somewhat complicated picture.

It was a stove made of mud. Next to it was written how to turn the mud into mud. Whether it was size or size, everything was clearly marked.

He didn't even need to look at those words. As long as he looked at the picture, anyone who had the ability to do it would be able to make the stove.

Leng Yueling took a look and her eyes immediately lit up.

She said, "This is good! Even I can make this. If this blueprint is released, it will be a great benefit to the people! It's great that Great Qin has you!"

Xiao Yun chuckled and rubbed his nose. He said, "Don't praise me so well. But this is a credit. I don't know who should be credited with this credit."

Leng Yueling was stunned again and asked curiously, "What's going on? This was made by you. The credit should be placed on you."

Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "Since the underground movement of spring hunting, when have you seen me earn credit?"

"This..."

Leng Yueling thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

Xiao Yun had contributed a lot!

Leng Yueling knew a lot of things that he had done. However, the credit was not on Xiao Yun, but on His Majesty. Some were on the Imperial Court, and some were on Eldest Imperial Princess. However, only he himself did not have any.

"Why?"

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Because it is safe."

"Safe?"

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "As a subject, or rather, the people, what they fear the most is a person with high achievements. Especially since I have the name of Saint Grade. If I have too much credit on me... If the common people know me and treat me as a god in the mortal world, they will respect me. If you are the king, what would you think? If I had the ability to shout and wave my arms, countless people would respond. If you were an emperor, what would you think?"

Leng Yueling's eyes twitched.

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Compared to the prosperity of the country, His Majesty cares more about the stability of the country and the stability of his rule."

Leng Yueling's eyes twitched twice and then she nodded helplessly.

Because she knew that it was indeed so!

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "So I don't want things like credit. But I want some other things, such as the establishment of the Gold Hidden Pavilion. For example, the few times I went to the Imperial Prison, I was fine. These... It can also be considered as compensation for those meritorious deeds. In fact, in this world... Whoever recognizes me is a risk to me. Only His Majesty's acknowledgment is considered safe to me. The royal family. Although this world belongs to the common people, it does indeed belong to the royal family. "

"Then... what should we do now?"

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Leave this thing to His Majesty directly and let him use the entire official road to distribute it. Order the people below to start building it. If it is really as I expected... When the snow sealed the mountains, as long as there was such a stove in a village... The entire village sits in a room. There's still hope to survive. "

Leng Yueling nodded and said, "It is a pity... The civilians do not know about Young Master's action of benefiting the country and the people. They do not know who is seeking a way out for them in this desperate situation."

Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "It does not matter."

A simple "it does not matter," made Leng Yueling respect him.

Xiao Yun was good at everything except for treating her... He always seemed a little frivolous.

It was even a little too much.

But what could he do?

After all, he had never seen Xiao Yun treat other women like this.

Thinking about this, Leng Yueling even felt a little happy in her heart.

...

In the Imperial Palace, the originally quiet place suddenly became chaotic.

Dozens of palace maids and eunuchs ran back and forth in a hurry.

There were even people who cried for help, unable to cause any more chaos.

His Majesty was currently in the study studying the matter of the northern expedition, pondering on how to allocate resources.

This chaos pulled him out of his thoughts.

"What's wrong?"

His Majesty frowned and looked out the window.

The eunuch hurriedly bowed and said, "This old servant will go out and ask."

"Yes."

His Majesty did not blame him immediately. Instead, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

He put down the pen and paper and stood with his hands behind his back.

After the eunuch went out, he quickly walked back. When he saw His Majesty, he was a little hesitant to speak.

"What is it? Tell me!"

The eunuch bit his lips and said, "Ninth Princess... Ninth Princess was poisoned by the smoke, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's not good... "

"What? "

His Majesty suddenly rushed out from behind the table and knocked down the incense burner on top. With a clang, the room was filled with dust.

However, he did not pay any attention to it. Instead, he rushed out of the study immediately and rushed towards the direction of the harem.

The eunuch hurriedly followed and anxiously said, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious! The Imperial Physician has already gone over. Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

When His Majesty saw the Ninth Princess, a few Imperial Physicians had already surrounded her.

The Ninth Princess was five years old today, and it was the time for her to be lively and active. At this moment, she was lying there quietly. Her lips were purple, but her face was flushed red, and her breathing was almost inaudible.

The Imperial Physicians had tried all kinds of methods, but they could not wake her up at all.

Although His Majesty had rushed over, he could only stand there blankly.

For a moment, it was as if he had aged a lot.

He knew that he had aged.

This Ninth Princess was his last child. From that year onwards, he knew that he would never have another child in his life.

Thus, he doted on the Ninth Princess.

The Ninth Princess was also a sensible girl, and she would never cause any big trouble. At most, she would be a little naughty, but she would appear even more exquisite and cute.

His Majesty gritted his teeth hard, and his chest was full of resentment.

The smoke and poison would be displayed in the palace almost every year.

It was like a special disease of a wealthy family.

In fact, there were always rumors among the people that said it was a sickness of rich and noble, that someone in their family had done something wrong, and that it was the heavens who wanted to take them away.

More than ten years ago, a prince had already passed away because of the smoke poison. At that time, the prince was only two years old. He did not know the beauty of this world and had completely left.

Because of this, His Majesty even specially sent people to investigate everyone around the prince. He felt that someone had plotted against him!

Even during that period of time, he was somewhat stunned.

There were also some concubines who often died in the winter due to smoke and poison.

Not to mention those eunuchs and palace maids.

Every winter, there would always be a few less old faces in the palace.

Unable to do anything, they didn't even know why.2

The imperial physician looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

An old imperial physician walked in front of the emperor and opened his mouth. His words turned into a sigh in the end.

After a long time, he said, "His Majesty should prepare first."

"What preparations? What should I prepare? "

His Majesty suddenly roared.

This frightened the Imperial Physicians. They hurriedly lowered their heads and nodded, not daring to speak.

His Majesty took a deep breath and shook his head. He said, " Sigh... Zhen lost his composure. The Ninth Princess's current situation... How is it?"

The old Imperial Physician said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the poison to enter your heart."

The corner of His Majesty's eyes twitched violently.

For a moment, he wanted to smash something and even wanted to destroy everything. But at the same time, he felt that he did not have the slightest strength in his body.

There was nothing he could do.

Even as the emperor, there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, a eunuch rushed over in a hurry. When he saw this, he looked scared and embarrassed. He opened his mouth and did not dare to speak for a moment.

When the eunuch saw this, he asked in a low voice, "What happened again?"

The young eunuch hurriedly said, "Head Chief, it's Young Master Xiao... He came and said that he has something to attend to."
