Indeed, in Zhong Shan's plan, Fan Yipin's younger sister, one of the most doted concubines of the Grand Xuan King, had witnessed the entire process of Liu Yanyan meeting Shui Jing behind the back of the Grand Xuan King.
In fact, she had even witnessed Mr. Shui Jing leaving the Ancient Saint Capital. When he reached a valley, he suddenly spat out black blood. Coincidentally, there was a pack of low level wolves around him. To think that an official of the Great Havenlaw Dynasty would be torn into pieces in the blink of an eye!
Shui Jing's death was something that Fan Xiaoying had witnessed with her own eyes.
Could it be that Liu Yanyan had poisoned his tea? Poisoned this wild man to death?
"What a vicious woman!" After Fan Xiaoying saw Shui Jing's body being torn apart, she returned to the manor immediately.
In the manor, Fan Xiaoying tossed and turned in bed as her mind was filled with thoughts. To think that this sl * t would still go out to seduce men even though she was already a married woman! After two months of playing with him, she even poisoned him to death! No! Her master could not have such a woman by his side! She was way too vicious! Who knew if she might even die in her hands in the future, or even harm her master!
To begin with, Fan Xiaoying did not have much of a good impression of Liu Yanyan. After everything that had happened, the bad feelings in her heart were magnified by a thousand times.
That night, Fan Xiaoying could not sleep. However, Fan Xiaoying did not tell the Grand Xuan King or Fan Yipin about it immediately. The Grand Xuan King did not want to see the jealousy between the concubines. Furthermore, this was akin to stalking and monitoring. Not only would the Grand Xuan King blame her, the other concubines would also be wary of her in the future.
Until two days later, Fan Xiaoying could not hold it in any longer. Fan Xiaoying caught sight of Liu Yanyan cooking some drinks for the Grand Xuan King. She looked at it with trepidation, afraid that it might be poisoned.
Grand Xuan King's study room …
"Master, Shui Jing is dead!" Fan Xiaoying said.
"Huh?" The Grand Xuan King was looking at some information when he asked in bewilderment.
"I saw it with my own eyes. Just three days ago, Shui Jing died. He was poisoned to death. …"
"How could that be? Who could poison him to death? Don't spout nonsense. "
"It's true! I saw it with my own eyes! The person who poisoned him to death was …"
The Grand Xuan King looked at Fan Xiaoying with furrowed brows. He was naturally clear of Fan's character. She was a woman who knew the big picture. There was no way she would spout nonsense. But, what sort of existence was Shui Jing? He would rather be killed by some expert than be poisoned to death. His intelligence was not just for show.
"Who?" The Grand Xuan King asked.
"Liu Yanyan!" Fan Xiaoying said with absolute certainty.
Hearing this name, the Grand Xuan King's pupils abruptly shrank. It's her? Indeed, she was the only one who could poison Shui Jing to death.
"That woman is too scary. Her behavior is indecent. Some time ago …"
Fan Xiao Ying told him everything she had seen.
The Grand Xuan King only listened silently. He didn't say anything, but his brows gradually furrowed.
"Wait for your brother to come!" The Grand Xuan King sat at the desk with a frown.
Not long after, the Grand Xuan King's number one strategist, Fan Yipin, was invited to the study. After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, he specially sent people to search the Immemorial Sacred Capital. There really was no trace of Shui Jing.
After sending Fan Xiaoying away, Fan Yipin started a private discussion with the Grand Xuan King.
"Your Highness, although Xiao Ying is my younger sister, I will not side with her. There are many loopholes in this matter, so we must be careful." Fan Yipin frowned as he pondered.
"Yes."
"There is one possibility. Just like what Xiao Ying said, Liu Yanyan poisoned Shui Jing to death for Your Highness. This way, she would no longer have any external interference. Her heart is vicious. The other possibility is that this is all a trap. "
"Trap?"
"Because this involves Zhong Shan. Shui Jing wouldn't do such a thing, but Zhong Shan is capable of anything. He wants to break up Liu Yanyan and Your Highness, so he purposely put on a show for my stupid younger sister to see, so that Your Highness would give Liu Yanyan the cold shoulder. Then, Shui Jing would snatch back Liu Yanyan's heart. "
"Put on a show?"
"Yes, but there is a key person in this matter, Liu Yanyan. If it's the second possibility, then Liu Yanyan's heart isn't vicious, so she isn't as bad as Xiao Ying said. Based on her feelings for Your Highness, there's no way she would put on a show with Shui Jing. How much does she know? As long as you ask, she will tell you everything. If she isn't putting on a show, then everything she says is the truth. Therefore, Your Highness only needs to test her to know what's going on. "Fan Yipin said.
"Indeed, there are only these two possibilities." The Great Xuan King nodded.
In the evening, the Great Xuan King summoned Liu Yanyan. He wanted to test her.
"Yanyan, I heard that you went to see Shui Jing these two months?" The Great Xuan King asked.
"Your Highness, please forgive me." Liu Yanyan confessed. Wang Xing didn't have the thought of lying to the Great Xuan King.
"I won't blame you. I just don't want you to see him again." The Great Xuan King nodded and sighed. At the same time, he observed Liu Yanyan's expression.
A trace of pain flashed across Liu Yanyan's expression, and she said, "No, never again. Your Highness won't see him again either."
Liu Yanyan remembered Shui Jing's words. Shui Jing said that he left and wouldn't come back. Since he wouldn't come back, then the Great Xuan King naturally wouldn't see him again.
However, when the Great Xuan King heard these words, he suddenly felt enlightened. Wouldn't see him again? Could it be that Shui Jing was already dead? Such certainty and determination could only mean that she was very clear about this matter. And at this moment, Liu Yanyan's expression was more of a kind of reminiscence.
The Great Xuan King could understand this kind of reminiscence. It was a kind of deep melancholy. If it was only Shui Jing's departure, it wouldn't be so deep. It could only be when Shui Jing died. Of course, the Great Xuan King couldn't have imagined that Liu Yanyan's deep melancholy didn't just come from Shui Jing. There were also those sixty paintings, sixty tunes, a zither, a long memory, and a true love that was called out.
The Great Xuan King 'understood everything', and the expression he looked at Liu Yanyan with suddenly changed, gradually turning cold.
"You can leave! I don't need you to serve me today, "the Great Xuan King said coldly.
Liu Yanyan was baffled, not knowing what was going on. She didn't say anything wrong. She sighed slightly and retreated.
The Great Xuan King eliminated the second possibility, which was the first one. Liu Yanyan poisoned Shui Jing to prevent the matter from being exposed. However, she didn't know that this matter was no longer a secret.
From this day onwards, the way Liu Yanyan looked at the Great Xuan King changed. She became a lot more distant.
Fan Xiaoying, who was in the know, also began to hit Liu Yanyan while she was down, continuously attacking her from all sides. At the same time, she secretly informed the other princesses. The princesses all kept their mouths shut, and were united against outsiders. Liu Yanyan's life was immediately filled with rumors.
In addition, after the princesses confirmed the authenticity of the news, they kept whispering to the Great Xuan King.
The Great Xuan King's residence became a new battlefield. Smoke rose everywhere, and Liu Yanyan was repeatedly defeated. She couldn't resist at all. Liu Yanyan was banished to the cold palace.
From the cold words of the princesses to the cold treatment of the Great Xuan King, the man she loved, Liu Yanyan was instantly disheartened. She also understood everything. It turned out that the Great Xuan King's love was only on Shui Jing, and she was just an intermediary tool.
In this way, the second step of Zhong Shan's plan could be considered to have succeeded.
Liu Yanyan had seen through worldly affairs. Although her feelings for the Great Xuan King were still there, they continued to fade with time.
She was disheartened. Although Liu Yanyan still supported the Great Xuan King's subordinates, these people no longer looked at Liu Yanyan with that respectful gaze. When the tree fell, the monkeys scattered. These people quickly became the princesses' spies, investigating Liu Yanyan's every move.
As the saying went, extreme Yin gave birth to Yang, and when things reached an extreme, they would move in the opposite direction. Under the Great Xuan King's ashes, the fire became Shui Jing. Shui Jing was that wisp of hope, and the fire of hope supported Liu Yanyan to not fall. However, this fire of hope was very, very far away. Shui Jing said that he had left and would never come back.
Liu Yanyan said that she wanted to return to the Alioth Sect, then left the Great Xuan King's residence and headed to the place where she was born, preparing to spend her life there. The Great Xuan King didn't stop her, and the princesses were even more eager for her to leave as soon as possible.
In this way, Liu Yanyan left. She left the Primeval Sacred Capital with a fire seed under the ashes.
As for whether or not the Great Xuan King or the princesses would harm her, it wasn't something Zhong Shan had to consider.
Because when Liu Yanyan returned, she would definitely be able to meet Mister Shui Jing again due to 'fate'.
Dongfang Manor.
"Alright, you tricked another strategist!" Gu Qianyou said with a smile.
"This is the will of the heavens! I'm just following the will of the heavens! "Zhong Shan was in a good mood and also joked.
"How many girls have you tricked with this method?" Gu Qianyou suddenly said with a serious expression.
"How could that be? I'm very upright." Zhong Shan immediately said.
"Pffft."
"What are you laughing at?"
"You're upright? You're so bad. "Gu Qianyou said. As he spoke, he felt that his tone was a little off.
Gu Qianyou's face turned red when he saw Zhong Shan's playful smile.
"I heard that the four crown princes were summoned to the Primeval Sacred Palace?" Zhong Shan suddenly thought of something.
"Yes, His Majesty has something to tell the four crown princes." Gu Qianyou nodded.
"It's the last moment. What can he tell them? Could it be the method to ascend to the Celestial Empire? "Zhong Shan frowned.
"The method to ascend to the Celestial Empire?" Gu Qianyou frowned and thought about it. Indeed, what would be taught at this time? Summoning the four crown princes in such a mysterious manner was naturally the most important thing.
"His Majesty is also preparing for both sides. It seems that something is wrong." Zhong Shan said with a hint of worry.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qianyou asked.
"Splitting the heavens and splitting the earth, fighting against the heavens. Either you die or I die. Between the heavens and His Majesty, one must die. Who will die? How can we prepare for both sides at this time? If it were me, I would press forward. I can only win and not lose. All the preparations are for victory. If you can't even convince yourself, how can fate be on your side? "
"You're burying your head in the sand."
"No, this mentality is very important. Even if you are weak, you must press forward. Your body, heart, spirit, will, thoughts, and power must press forward. You must not be overcautious. If His Majesty only wants to become an immortal, teaching the method to ascend to the Celestial Empire is fine. Splitting the heavens and splitting the earth is different. It cannot be done without boldness. I hope His Majesty is not making arrangements for his death. "Zhong Shan said worriedly.
