Chapter 1244: Settling the Debts

That forced abdication ended with Zhou Dehong committing suicide, Noble Consort Zhou being banished to the cold palace, and Yuwen Feiye being demoted to a commoner.

However, Zhou Dehong's last sentence was deeply imprinted in Yuwen Longyan's heart.

"Master, the plan has failed!" In a small house in a courtyard in the capital, a masked man in black reported to a man sitting in the shadows.

Looking at his back, this man was a young man dressed in luxury. Unfortunately, his appearance could not be seen.

The man kept wiping the jade ring on his right thumb with one hand and said indifferently, "Zhou Dehong, you useless thing!" However, his fierce aura was very shocking, as if he was a demon that had walked out of hell.

These subordinates knew very well that this man was indeed a demon!

The man in black kneeling on the ground didn't dare to breathe loudly, nor did he dare to answer the man's words.

Then, he heard the man's words.

"Go and investigate Jiang Zhennan's fiancée!"

"Yes, sir!"

He hadn't paid much attention to this woman in the past. He had only thought that she was the fiancée of Jiang Zhennan, who was bold and reckless.

He did not expect that his plan would be ruined by this woman.

This woman was really interesting.

She was on equal terms with Yuwen Longyan, the old emperor. She called him " old emperor ", but Yuwen Longyan called her " little girl ". It was obvious that they had a close relationship.

"Haha, girl, this time, I really have to thank you!" Yuwen Longyan laughed," If it weren't for you, Zhou Dehong and the others might have succeeded!"

Although he was an emperor, he was still a mortal.

The Divine Illusion poison made people wish they were dead. He might not be able to survive it.

"Girl, speaking of which, this 'Divine Illusion' thing really isn't poison?" Yuwen Longyan was puzzled. "But the person who ate this thing was in so much pain that he wished he was dead!"

Lin Yuelan smiled and said," Old Emperor, this is just the symptom of its withdrawal. Haven't you noticed how happy one can get when one is fed the powder?"

Yuwen Longyan's expression changed. He thought for a moment, then nodded." Indeed! What is this thing?"

Lin Yuelan explained," This is a type of poppy pollen from the southern border! As long as one came into contact with this kind of thing, one would become addicted and would never be able to stop. Once the supply was broken, one would feel as if tens of thousands of insects were gnawing at his flesh and bones. The pain was so excruciating that it made him wish he was dead!"

"Indeed!" Yuwen Longyan said," Back then, after Zhou Xinyue brought the soup over, I ate it once and have been thinking about it. There was a period of time when I didn't eat it, and my entire body felt uncomfortable."

He didn't notice it at first, but later, he asked Principal Zhang to come over and take a look. The result was that his body was safe, but his eyes clearly told him that he was hiding something.

He asked the secret guards to pay attention to Principal Zhang's movements, but he did not expect that he was really poisoned. Moreover, it was the same poison that befell Zhou Xinyue and Ye 'er.

He was also very shocked when he learned of this result.

However, what made him angry was that his beloved concubine had poisoned him.

When he pretended that the poison was acting up, they worked together with Principal Zhang to isolate him from everyone. They threatened his life and forced Eunuch Zhang to do as they said.

However, Zhou Xinyue, Zhou Dehong, and the others did not expect that he was acting. Other than the first time, he had been pretending. He had been playing along.

Jiang Zhennan asked in confusion," Yue 'er, is this kind of poppy only found on the southern border?"

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said," Not necessarily! As long as the environment was suitable, it would not be difficult to grow this flower!"

Yuwen Longyan immediately asked," What? Could it be that Longyan Country could grow this kind of poppy flower?"

"That's right!" Lin Yuelan nodded and said," But don't worry, Your Majesty. Although poppies can be grown in Longyan Kingdom, they still need certain conditions. At present, no one should have thought of it."

Yuwen Longyan nodded and asked," Girl, what does this poppy look like?"

If he knew what it looked like, he would send secret guards to check if there were any landowners who were planting poppies.

Lin Yuelan guessed his thoughts and said," Poppy flowers are very beautiful flower. The entire plant is pinkish-green, and the leaves are long and oval. It bloomed in summer and grew on a single branch. It was large and gorgeous, with red, purple, and white flowers blooming upwards! How about this, old emperor? I'll draw it for you!"

Yuwen Longyan nodded.

After Lin Yuelan drew the appearance of the poppy flower, Yuwen Longyan, and Jiang Zhennan were slightly surprised when they saw the appearance of the flower.

This flower is indeed very beautiful.

After the two of them overcame their shock, Lin Yuelan crossed her arms in front of her chest and said with a tone of questioning," Old Emperor, shouldn't I settle the score with you?"

Yuwen Longyan immediately asked in confusion," You want to settle scores with me? Girl, what do you mean?" Then, he chuckled and said," Girl, you came to settle scores with me, the ruler of a country. Are you afraid that I will fall out with you?"

Lin Yuelan smiled and asked," Then, Your Majesty, will you fall out with a peasant girl like me?"

Yuwen Longyan was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud." Haha, you little girl, you're really fearless! Alright, tell me, what do you want to settle with me?"

Lin Yuelan sneered and said," I heard that the Ninth Princess you adore the most would only marry a general! Not to mention, she actually drugged Brother Nan. If Brother Nan was not sensitive, he might have been drugged by her! Tell me, should I settle this score with you? Hmph!"

Yuwen Longyan's face instantly turned awkward. He pretended to cough twice." Cough cough, girl, you can't blame me! Ling 'er fell in love with Minister Jiang at first sight, so she drugged Minister Jiang. She played tricks. Uh, cough cough, this is not something I can control, right?"

Lin Yuelan looked at the old emperor, shirking his responsibility. Her eyes were cold, making Yuwen Longyan feel a little embarrassed.

He said," Ahem, girl, isn't Minister Jiang alright now?"

Lin Yuelan snorted coldly." Hmph, do you mean to let this matter pass just like that? I heard that the reason why the Ninth Princess drugged Brother Nan was that someone had promised that as long as Brother Nan agreed to marry her personally, he would issue an edict to grant the marriage. Otherwise, why would the Ninth Princess think of drugging Brother Nan?"

When Yuwen Longyan heard Lin Yuelan bring up this matter, he once again defended himself in embarrassment," About that, girl, I just wanted Ling 'er to understand her situation, so I… That's why I said that."

Then, he saw Jiang Zhennan, who was sitting on the sidelines, and said, "Minister Jiang, you're also in the wrong. You're already the girl's fiancé. Why did you let Ling 'er barge into your General's Estate?"
