Chapter 292 Madam, why don’t we take advantage of their trick!
"I am speaking the truth. Fourth brother should know that my wife comes from the Valley of Divine Doctors, and my father-in-law has previously diagnosed the emperor's pulse."
Jiang Jin looked at Jiang Qi's face full of disbelief, but he was very calm and even brought up He Zhouyun, which made Jiang Qi believe it even more.
"Fourth brother should know that Father has been behaving strangely lately, and this imperial decree to restore the virtuous concubine and her son is like child's play.
In fact, it is to fully activate the effect of the spiritual Gu. I heard Dad mention it a few days ago. If it is like this, it will be impossible to save the situation. I am afraid that my father is now just a puppet without a soul."
Mu Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Qi who had to force herself to believe it, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She added a few more words, increasing the probability that Jiang Qi would believe it without a doubt.
When Jiang Qi heard what the couple said, his heart was in turmoil. He carefully recalled his father's reaction to the abnormal behavior of Concubine Xian and her son, and actually felt that it was almost certain that Emperor Xuanhe had been poisoned.
But he still suppressed his emotions. Even though he was so shocked that he couldn't keep his composure at first, he couldn't afford to lose face again. After all, Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao were not the kind people who told him the news out of kindness.
This matter needs to be investigated in detail!
"I heard from my father earlier that once this poison finally erupts, the person infected will gradually become unresponsive and their limbs will gradually become stiff. If you don't believe me, you can go to the palace to see my father in person someday and you'll know whether this is true or not."
But Mu Jiaojiao seemed to see through his thoughts and put the blame on her father again. She talked about the symptoms that Jiang Xuan and Di might have in the near future, and also guided Jiang Qi to investigate it himself.
She understood these people's psychology too well. They would only believe in the truth of things they discovered, so in modern times many people took advantage of this law to make money and kill people.
Jiang Qi listened to Mu Jiaojiao's words again, and his eyes were filled with indistinct emotions. He had previously known that his sixth brother's wife was the eldest daughter of the Divine Doctor Valley, which had already made him on guard.
Now looking at Mu Jiaojiao's cleverness and wisdom, and the fact that Jiang Jin's feet were in good health, his fear reached its peak.
But if what they said today was true, what he had to do now was to be careful not to let Concubine Xian use the emperor to falsely convey the imperial edict to harm him. After all, he had made Concubine Xian and her son so embarrassed before.
Therefore, it is better not to offend Jiang Jin for the time being. First, stabilize him. After he has dealt with the virtuous concubine and her son and ascended to that position, it will not be too late to deal with this couple.
But I still had to ask questions to prevent Jiang Jin and his wife from getting suspicious. "Sixth brother's wife keeps mentioning Valley Master He. I wonder where he is now?"
"When the news spread in the palace, my father-in-law knew that my father was beyond saving. To prevent the virtuous concubine and her son from killing people to silence them, he left Yudu."
Jiang Jin did not hide anything and directly said that He Zhouyun had packed his bags and ran away early, and he would not get involved in their fight!
Jiang Qi finally realized that his visit to Prince Jin's Mansion tonight might end in vain, so he simply stood up and said goodbye. After all, if Emperor Xuanhe really became a half-dead puppet as Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin said.
Then his threat to Jiang Jin to deceive Sheng Ting was meaningless.
Your own father is a walking corpse, a puppet in the hands of others. Do you still expect him to convict you of the crime of deceiving the emperor?
The most urgent task is to quickly gather people to discuss the follow-up matters. He doesn't believe that if the virtuous concubine and her son succeed, and if Jiang Yi ascends the throne, he will let him go because he always obeys the virtuous concubine!
He must be killed!
It seems that we have to prepare for the worst.
If necessary, it is not impossible to purge the court!
No?
Jiang Jin and his wife looked at Jiang Qi's hurried departure, with a hint of amusement in their eyes.
"Jiang Qi is so anxious to trick you, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for him!"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at her sinister man who had just misled Jiang Qi and couldn't help but sigh.
"What are you talking about, my lady? This is Fourth Brother's blessing!"
When Jiang Jin heard Mu Jiaojiao's teasing, a smile of success appeared on his face. He was not lying. His fourth brother had known the news a long time ago and would definitely take big action. At least he would not be kept in the dark and be directly played by the virtuous concubine and her son.
"And how did I deceive him? This 'Spiritual Gu' and 'Soul Devouring Gu' are actually pretty much the same, aren't they?"
Jiang Jin then seemed to think of what his wife meant, and asked innocently, his face still as gentle as jade and spotless.
"puff……"
Mu Jiaojiao was amused by this shameless and sinister fox. At this point, Xuan and Di's reactions to being poisoned were indeed very similar.
The only difference is that as long as Mu Jiaojiao is willing to take action, Xuan Hedi, who is infected with the soul-eating insect, can still maintain a brief period of consciousness, and in a short period of time, he can still break free from the control of the insect.
"What a black-bellied fox!"
After Mu Jiaojiao finished laughing, she couldn't help but complain about her inner monologue to her complacent man.
"Ha ha……"
"That's also the fox raised by my wife Jiaojiao~"
Jiang Jin was not ashamed to hear this, but proud instead. He shamelessly took advantage of the opportunity to climb into the arms of his lovely wife.
"My wife even gave birth to a little fox!"
After climbing the pole, Fox Jin looked at his son who was sleeping soundly in his wife's arms, raised the corners of his mouth and added another sentence.
Mu Jiaojiao: ...
To be honest, her man has been constantly refreshing the worst impression he left on Mu Jiaojiao, becoming more and more shameless!
After the couple finished joking, they finally got back to the point.
"Since Jiang Qi already knows about my leg disease, he has to take precautions early."
After Jiang Jin took back his thick skin, he still looked a bit like a banished immortal who was good at maneuvering and giving orders to the country.
"In fact, the truth will eventually come to light. I just didn't expect it to be now."
Mu Jiaojiao nodded when she heard this. Jiang Jin had kept the fact that his leg was fine a secret for such a long time, and he had been generally cautious in Prince Jin's Mansion. She didn't expect that Jiang Qi would find out at this critical juncture and use it to threaten them.
"No problem, it just makes them more defensive."
Jiang Jin naturally knew that if the outside world knew that he was fine, they would definitely be more wary of Prince Jin's Mansion. However, some things could not be prevented by mere precautions, and he, Jiang Jin, was not afraid now!
Seeing how confident he was, Mu Jiaojiao put aside her few worries. As long as Jiang Jin had his own plans, she believed in her man.
Jiang Jin looked at Mu Jiaojiao's trusting eyes and felt extremely satisfied. The corners of his mouth curled up, and after some calculations in his mind, he opened his thin lips slightly and uttered a word with great interest.
"Madam, why don't we take advantage of their tricks!"
