Chapter 1549: Enchanted

A jade bottle was placed here, and before the medicine was taken, Li Changze was already in a mixed mood. He really didn't know what to say and did it, and suddenly a little regret arose in his heart.

If...that thought came to his mind in an instant, if he had not followed his mother's arrangements, but followed his father's arrangements, the person who was waiting to ascend to the extreme would not be his younger brother Li Changye, but him.

It seems that there is God's will in the dark. His mother has been fighting all her life, but after fighting, not only did she not win the favor of his father, let alone the favor, not to mention trust, let alone feelings.

This thought was just fleeting in Li Changze's mind, so his regret was also fleeting.

When he was staying in the Prince's Mansion on the West Shu Road, did his mother really care about that woman?

She didn't care, she just wanted to show her status as a princess.

If it were another woman, not the woman who is sitting on the throne of the queen now, maybe things would not be that complicated, maybe things would still be complicated.

Li Changze's mother first fought in the palace, and then in Chang'an City. In the end, the mechanism was over, but Li Changze's road was still so bumpy.

So occasionally Li Changze would think that even if her mother pretended to be more obedient, he was still sitting steadily in the East Palace. The clothes on her body were not as colored as bright yellow.

Seeing him a little stunned, Xue Huayi asked, "Do you have any doubts about the medicine? I tried every means to find this medicine, and I have already tried someone to try it. The person who took the medicine seemed to be sick and looked very weak, but he just had to stay in bed and rest, and after the medicine was effective, he would recover as before."

Xue Huayi walked to the table, picked up the jade bottle and said, "If Your Highness doesn't believe me, then I will take one in front of you now. There is only one medicine in the jade bottle. I will take it today. If Your Highness thinks I'm fine, then I will send another one in the future."

He opened the jade bottle, and Li Changze glanced at him, but said nothing.

A faint disappointment flashed in Xue Huayi's eyes. He poured out the pills and held them in his palm and said to Li Changze: "Your Highness, you should actually believe me."

He stuffed the pills into his mouth. After seeing him taking them, Li Changze immediately shouted: "No! I believe in you."

Xue Huayi's heart was full of ridicule at Li Changze, but it was hard to say it out. Li Changze was no longer the Li Changze who sent him out of Chang'an back then, nor was he the young follower next to the prince back then.

The two of them shouldn't have been like this, because of a arrangement made both of them feel that they are neither human nor ghost from time to time.

"Look at you!"

Li Changze stepped forward and took Xue Huayi's hand and said, "We are brothers, why can't I trust you? I was stunned just now and just thought of something else. If you take the medicine like this, it seems that I am doubting you."

Xue Huayi smiled and said, "Actually, this should be the case. Your Highness's body of a thousand gold coins should have been tested first."

He paused for a moment and continued, "In order to let Your Highness go, I will accompany Your Highness here for a while, and I will leave after Your Highness confirms that I will not have any worries about life and death after taking the medicine."

Li Changze said: "You took the opportunity of official business to come to see me once. Now that you have taken medicine, even your official business will be delayed."

"It's okay. After I went back, I said I was not accustomed to the local environment and was able to rest at home for a while."

Xue Huayi said: "Your Highness should remember that after a few years, your Majesty will personally lead the expedition and the second prince stays in Chang'an. I will find a way to let the second prince take you back to Chang'an City. When you return to Weiyang Palace, you will find another medicine for the second prince to take it, and he will die suddenly, just like the late emperor Li Chengyuan..."

Li Changze's face changed drastically: "Do you want to... attack Changye?"

Xue Huayi said: "Your Highness must not be kind to a woman. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you cannot seize it, your Highness will never have another chance in the future."

Li Changze said: "But even if I stayed in Chang'an City and my father was still fighting in the northern border, and he was alive, I would never be able to become the emperor."

"He will die."

Xue Huayi said: "As for how he dies, you don't have to worry about it, I will make arrangements, otherwise this plan will certainly not work. Your Highness just do the things I arrange for you, and you don't need to ask about anything else."

"I want to... kill my father and brother..."

A burst of pain came from Li Changze's head, not pretending, but really hurt.

As soon as Xue Huayi finished speaking, it seemed like a gunpowder pack was lit in his head, which made his head buzzing and did not dissipate for a long time.

Xue Huayi said naturally: "Otherwise, your highness really thinks you still have the opportunity to be qualified to inherit the throne?"

Li Changze couldn't hold on and sat down with his hands holding the table, but his head was still shaking.

"But Changye is very nice to me. Even if his father demoted me to a commoner, Changye still sends people to see me from time to time. I just follow your arrangements and don't have any money and items he gave me..."

"Your Highness!"

Xue Huayi frowned and said, "What is important in your heart? Is it important to have a family relationship or the throne?"

Li Changze opened his mouth, but in fact he didn't know what to say, his mind was blank.

Xue Huayi stood up and said, "Let's talk about this today. If I don't go back, I will be suspected. Besides, the effect of the medicine will occur. I will vomit and diarrhea in a while. It's not good to be seen by Your Highness. Please consider what I just said. If Your Highness gives me an answer that I don't want the throne, I will be my Gyeonggi-do-chan. Why should I take this risk?"

Li Changze stood up and said, "Then you... have a good rest after you go back. I'll think about it. After I think about it, I'll find a way to tell you."

Xue Huayi didn't say anything more and walked out.

Along the way, Xue Huayi carefully avoided the ordinary servants in the city, and after returning to the official office, he turned in through the back window. His subordinate Geng Yuan was already waiting.

Geng Yuan then asked behind Xue Huayi, "Sir, have you taken that medicine?"

Xue Huayi said: "If I don't eat, how could he believe it?"

Xue Huayi sat down and said, "The pill I just gave him was made of sweet potato flour. Nothing would happen if I was eaten, but remember, I won't see anyone again on the way back. You just told the public that I vomited and had diarrhea, or that it was caused by the inability to adapt to the environment."

"After I return to Shicheng, the Taoist government Cen Zheng will definitely come to visit. You all have to cooperate. There are several clinics in Shicheng who were from General Xuecheng back then, and it is just right... Go and prepare some diarrhea medicine for me. I have to take it before entering Shicheng, so the effect of the medicine should be more severe."

"yes......"

Geng Yuan leaned over and said, "Then, has Li Changze already agreed?"

Xue Huayi nodded: "He has no choice. If he wants to be the emperor, he can only do that, and even without me, he will find a way... I actually didn't see clearly what his mother had prepared for him back then, maybe nothing was gone. I was the last trump card, and maybe he had the power to save his life."

He leaned on the chair and let out a long sigh: "Actually, we have no choice. What is the difference between me and the officials who were forced to sign the blood letter?"

Geng Yuan also sighed, feeling a little confused.

"if......."

Xue Huayi said to herself: "It would be great if Empress Yang had sent me out of Chang'an back then, and it would be great if I was not the Yang family... I could be a local official at peace and let me live a prosperous and happy life under my rule."

He let out a breath of turbid air again, his eyes becoming a little hollow.

"Whoever has a good ending with her will be in contact with her..."

Xue Huayi glanced at Geng Yuan: "Our entire Yang family was destroyed in her hands...one by one, as long as the person who had little connection with her died, not only died, but also lost his reputation."

Geng Yuan persuaded: "I have always wanted to persuade the adults, why not get rid of Li Changze directly? Now Li Changze is the only one who knows the adults' identity. If you get rid of him, you will be clean. With his talent, it will not be difficult to enter the cabinet in the future."

"No."

Xue Huayi shook her head and said, "How long does it take for me to enter the cabinet? I am now the Minister of the Gyeonggi Province. No one can be transferred. One term is four years... Four years later, even if I was transferred to the capital as an official, the highest priority is no second-level assistant."

He glanced at Geng Yuan and said, "Think about it, the previous prime minister was Mu Zhaotong, and the next prime minister was Lai Cheng. Then there was a man named Yuan Toshiba in the middle who went too far. He had been a secondary assistant under Mu Zhaotong for decades. Does anyone still remember him now? If I don't mention this name to you, you will not remember such a person at all."

He looked out the window and said with a firm tone: "No matter what method is used, I will leave my name in history."

Geng Yuan did not answer the conversation because he didn't know what he could take.

The adults have become possessed.

Just like Li Changze, just like Li Changze's mother.

Many things in this world are destined. Li Changze is actually a little pitiful. He had no choice from the beginning. As the first prince, he either became what his father wanted him to be, or he became what his mother wanted him to be.

What makes people feel even more pitiful is that his father and mother want him to be completely different.

His mother began to instill various ideas of small means and conspiracies since he was very young. For a long time, his father tried to stop him and even let him take him with his concubines in the harem, but whoever takes him will have an accident soon.

His mother was in charge of the harem at that time. Although the person who was actually in charge of the matter was Concubine Zhen, she had ten thousand ways to kill people.

Geng Yuan looked at Xue Huayi's face and vaguely felt that this face overlapped with Li Changze's face, and there was no inappropriateness at all. He was the one who had seen Li Changze, and the one who impressed him the most was Li Changze's eyes.

At this moment, Xue Huayi's eyes seemed to have become that way.

At this moment, Xue Huayi stood up and said, "It's time to go to the medical officer. Send someone to inform the county government office and say I'm sick and will rush back to Shicheng early tomorrow morning."

Geng Yuan bent over and bowed, then went out after answering.

This is the Xue Huayi he is familiar with. He arranged everything correctly and even used time properly.

Perhaps in Lord Xue's eyes, everyone in this world is not a living person, but a piece of chess piece placed on the chessboard one by one, and every step must be followed by his plan.
