Scheming (2)

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

"This vegetable is poisoned!!"

After a while, an unexpected thing happened: everyone who had eaten the dish clutched their stomachs and started sweating profusely, and then came to the conclusion that the dish was poisonous.

At this moment, almost everyone looked at the emperor first, because they felt that only the emperor could poison the food and wine, and that the emperor wanted to poison everyone for some purpose.

Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; everyone understands this principle, so everyone has thought that one day the emperor might use some means to kill them.

However, they noticed that the emperor and Empress Dowager were doing the same thing, as if they had also been poisoned.

So they began searching for the person in the middle; the one who was still unharmed must be the one who poisoned them.

"Haha, that's really easy. I didn't expect it to be so easy to succeed! The mighty Vermilion Bird Empire is so easy to deal with. With just a little trick, you can wipe out your entire army."

At this moment, Prince Wuji smiled arrogantly. Needless to say, he was involved in this matter. Wasn't the food he just prepared the dish? No wonder he asked Ye Lang to stay; it turned out he wanted to poison him.

"Why, why did you do this? I'm your uncle!!" Vermilion Bird Emperor asked weakly.

"Why? So what if you're my uncle? I'm a prince of the Luther Kingdom. Your Vermilion Bird Empire has always oppressed our Luther Kingdom. If we want to become an empire, we must destroy you!" Prince Wuji said disdainfully.

"Anxi, is that what you think too?" Vermilion Bird Emperor looked at Long Anxi and asked.

"I'm sorry, brother. I'll follow my husband wherever he goes..." Long Anxi said with a helpless expression, but her expression told everyone that she was very happy.

"Indeed, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl!" the Empress Dowager sighed.

"Can you blame me? I want the rights of the Vermilion Bird, can you give them to me?" Long Anxi said coldly.

"Do you think you can take over like this? Even if we die, the Vermilion Bird Empire will not fall into your hands. You are outsiders," the Vermilion Bird Emperor said.

"Yes, we are outsiders, but the Three Great Clans are not! If anyone is to blame, it's Long Ji for being too ruthless, forcing them to rebel," Prince Wuji said calmly.

After they finished speaking, the members of the Three Great Clans stood up unharmed. It seemed that they had a part in this matter, and with their power in the empire, if everyone here died, the Vermilion Bird Empire would be under their control.

"Were you forced to rebel, or did you harbor rebellious intentions all along? Look at so many of you, we never imagined there would be so many, and you've infiltrated so deeply," Princess Longji said calmly, glancing at the people who were standing unharmed.

The so-called Three Great Clans do not refer to the people within the Three Great Clans themselves, but also to their people in the imperial court. These people were originally deeply hidden, but at this time, they were all exposed.

"This is just a precaution. If you don't want to fight us, we naturally won't rebel!" said a member of the Ximen Family.

"I don't think your plan is something you've been planning for a while. How long has it been since the Myriad Flowers Tower incident?" Princess Longji said disdainfully.

"Because we know you're plotting against us. Hmph, Myriad Flowers Tower, I'm going to kill that brat... Why, why is he alright?"

When the Ximen Family thought of killing Ye Lang, they discovered that Ye Lang was still eating that thing, and was even enjoying it.

He doesn't seem to realize the current situation yet...

"..." Everyone fell silent.

"Could it be that his wasn't poisoned? Impossible! The poison was in the ingredients. We were only safe because we took the antidote beforehand!" Prince Wuji shook his head. "Why were you alright? Did you take the antidote too?"

"What? What poison? Do you have any? Maybe your poison is just too bad," Ye Lang replied nonchalantly.

"Too bad? If I, a poison man, were to ingest this, I would surely die within ten minutes. It is the most potent poison in the world, how could it be too bad?" Prince Wuji shook his head and said.

"Definitely dead? Ah, sister, you're all still alive, right? Do you want some antidote?" Ye Lang immediately shouted to Ye Lanyu.

"Don't worry, I won't die! You little rascal, all you care about is your sister, what about me?" Princess Longji said at this moment.

"Do you need it? Didn't you ask me for a lot of antidote a few days ago, saying it would keep the poison going for a while before the antidote takes effect? Did you already know about this whole thing?" Ye Lang asked Princess Longji.

"What?!"

At this moment, the most surprised were Prince Wuji and the Three Great Clans. After hearing Ye Lang's words, they realized something terrible: their plans might be part of someone else's scheme!

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

"Honestly, I wanted to ask for more information, but you little rascal, all you do is cause trouble!" At this moment, Princess Longji suddenly returned to normal, stood up, and showed no signs of poisoning.

Soon, the same thing happened to the others; the signs of poisoning disappeared, including those of the emperor and Empress Dowager on the stage.

This turn of events sent chills down the Prince Wuji and the members of the Three Great Clans. They knew they were doomed; they never imagined that their schemes would backfire so spectacularly, leaving them the ones who would be wiped out.

"Hmph! What an ignorant child! Do you think an empire would be so easily taken advantage of by you? And sister, how can you still be so naive? What else is in your mind besides arrogance?" The Vermilion Bird Emperor stood up, exuding an aura that clearly indicated he was not a poisoned person.

"You all knew all along, so why didn't you stop us? Why didn't you arrest us sooner!" Long Anxi's mouth gaped wide open.

"If it weren't for making you feel like you've succeeded, why would I have dragged all of you out? This is just a show, it doesn't take much effort, just treat it as entertainment!" Vermilion Bird Emperor said coldly.

"We noticed your plan from the beginning, but luckily this little rascal was here, so we asked him to make us some antidote, making you misunderstand that we had been poisoned." Princess Longji said with a smile, tapping Ye Lang's head and giving him a kiss.

"Why did you kiss me again? Don't be so unladylike in front of so many people. You still have to get married!" Ye Lang wiped the spot where he had been kissed.

"Bang!" Princess Longji smacked Ye Lang, "How dare you mess with me!"

"Ah..."

"Impossible, how is this possible? No one can do this, how could he do it?" Prince Wuji looked at Ye Lang, shaking his head in disbelief.
