Marrying Salted Fish

54

Lin Qingyu raised his eyes slightly: "Why not?"

He had no interest in the country. He had originally just wanted to study medicine peacefully, but these two people came to bother him and Gu Fuzhou, which was annoying. It would be better to go all out and support a new emperor who was to his liking and would never cause trouble for them.

Gu Fuzhou thought for a moment and said, "The emperor's princes died or were crippled in the fight for the throne three years ago. Now, apart from Xiao Cheng, there are only Xiao Jie and Xiao Li left. Xiao Li is a fool, and even if he is the legitimate son, he cannot inherit the throne. So only Xiao Jie is left? A beautiful fool."

Lin Qingyu grasped the point: "Do you think he is beautiful?"

The sudden desire to survive made Gu Fuzhou immediately change his tone and joke: "It's just so-so. It's just like that after seeing it too many times. Unlike Doctor Lin, it's not enough to be stunning at first sight, but it becomes more and more beautiful the more you look at it. It's too much."

Lin Qingyu snorted coldly and said, "Xiao Jie is a fool, and it is easier for us to control him."

Gu Fuzhou disagreed: "Xiao Jie has smart people around him, I'm afraid it's not our turn to control him."

"who?"

"You should have seen that man before. He used to be a young eunuch serving Xiao Jie. Later he grew up to be a senior eunuch and left the palace to build a mansion with Xiao Jie. Now he is the housekeeper of Xiao Jie's mansion."

Lin Qingyu remembered this person. "Is this person very smart?"

"He can be ranked in the top three in Dayu." Gu Fuzhou said, "Besides, this person has a paranoid and sinister personality due to his physical disability. It takes some thought to deal with him."

Lin Qingyu's brows relaxed: "These are all matters of the past, we will talk about them later. The most urgent thing is to think about how to kill those two people." It is not difficult to kill the emperor. The emperor is already seriously ill. He only needs to slightly change the prescription to make it look like the emperor died of a worsening illness. After all, the most difficult thing is Xiao Cheng.

Gu Fuzhou also thought of this: "Xiao Cheng won't take medicine, and only eats things from the East Palace. With the previous experience, there is no need to use incense. Poisoning is impossible, the only way out is..."

Lin Qingyu took over the conversation: "Shen Huaishi."

Gu Fuzhou nodded: "But Qingyu, I can't wait long. From what the emperor means, he wants me to get engaged immediately."

"If our plan succeeds, the marriage will naturally come to nothing; if it fails, it won't be too late to discuss a second marriage."

Gu Fuzhou concluded: "Whether we remarry or not depends on when Xiao Cheng dies."

Lin Qingyu nodded: "That's right."

Gu Fuzhou said with a complicated expression: "This mood has suddenly become subtle. I originally hoped that Xiao Cheng would die immediately."

Lin Qingyu's voice was slightly cold: "Don't you want it now?"

Gu Fuzhou smiled and said, "That's still hopeful."

Chapter 57

Assassinating Xiao Cheng was something Lin Qingyu had to do in his life. When Gu Fuzhou was still Lu Wancheng, they had fought, but ultimately failed. But now it was different. One of them was the head of the military commanders, and the other was a close minister of the emperor. Unlike before, they couldn't even enter the palace. He also got to know the key figure Shen Huaishi. This time, he was 50% sure.
