Xie Yunchen's body tensed up slightly when Xie Junyi grabbed his wrist. However, he immediately felt Xie Junyi's pulse and relaxed his body.
His medical skills were inherited from his mother, Shangguan Xinyi. His medical skills were on par with hers. To be more precise, his medical skills were slightly better than hers. Therefore, he knew a little about what Xie Yunchen knew. It was just that he was unwilling to admit it.
" You…" Xie Junyi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Royal brother, don't worry. My body was given to me by her. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have come to this world. Since she doesn't want me to live, how can I go against her! She knows very well how I am now, but she has never said anything to me. Perhaps…it won't be long before I can't help you anymore! Therefore, before that, you'd better change the blood of the imperial court as soon as possible!”Xie Yunchen closed his eyes, not looking at Xie Junyi.
He knew what Xie Junyi was shocked about. If the poison in his body was inflicted by his mother, Shangguan Xinyi, then his sickly appearance at this moment was all caused by him alone. He poisoned himself! At first, the poison was not obvious, but as time passed, the poison became more and more intense!
If Shangguan Xinyi had not noticed the abnormality in his body at the beginning, then as the symptoms of the poison became more and more obvious, she should also know what he had done to himself.
This was a way for Xie Yunchen to protect himself. Although his life seemed to be coming to an end, it had unknowingly allowed him to live for a long time. Otherwise, with Shangguan Xinyi's personality, he would have died a long time ago.
Xie Junyi had always been busy with state affairs and rarely checked his pulse, so it was very normal for him to be so surprised at this moment.
Xie Junyi looked at his younger brother and fell silent for a moment before he heaved a sigh of relief and said,""Why do you have to do this? Although the poison in your body was placed by mother, the one who cured you in the end was still mother, right? To her, you and I are both her biological sons. How could she bear to hurt you? I…I always felt that there was something else going on. Perhaps Imperial Mother had no choice but to poison him…Why did you have to force yourself to death?”
At this moment, he seemed to have changed into a different person. He was no longer the ruler of a country, no longer the high and mighty emperor, but an older brother who cared about his younger brother!
He had always firmly believed that his mother had no choice but to do this. They were both sons, so she had no reason to treat his younger brother like this. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he always believed in his mother.
"Brother…I didn't want to believe it either, but it happened just like that. Even if she knew that I poisoned her, she didn't care. When she took my pulse, she never gave me an antidote. If she really wanted the best for me, she would at least concoct an antidote for me, right? My poison has gradually entered her internal organs as time passes. She doesn't have to worry. I'll take revenge on her for what she did to me. Perhaps, after I die, I'll truly return what I owe her!”Xie Yunchen followed Xie Junyi's words and changed his words as well.
Xie Yunchen did not want to hide anything from Xie Junyi, and the meaning behind his words was something that only he understood.
Xie Junyi took two steps back. Although he didn't say anything, he was still shocked in his heart. No wonder the entire country was helpless against Xie Yunchen. Even he, as his elder brother, and his mother couldn't cure him. It turned out that he wasn't just poisoned by his mother. He was also poisoned by himself…Why did he have to make things difficult for himself?
"There's no point in saying more. Royal brother, you should hope that I can live a little longer and help you more!”Xie Yunchen slowly opened his eyes and said,"Since the Imperial Palace doesn't need me, then I'll take my leave first. I've been a little tired these past few days, so it's good to rest!”
At this moment, he returned to the way he addressed Xie Junyi. Since Xie Junyi had personally spoken, there was no need for her to stay. He didn't want to face Xie Junyi here anymore. He was afraid that he couldn't bear to…
His brotherly love for him had never been fake, but when this game of chess began, it had already determined the fate of some people. He only hoped that in the end, his brother would be different from his mother, so everything he did would be worth it! Otherwise, even if he died, he would still make him suffer a fatal blow.
Xie Junyi did not say anything. He just stood there without moving. No one knew what he was thinking about. It was only when Xie Yunchen stood up and slowly walked to the door that Xie Yunchen slowly opened his mouth,"Imperial brother, I really hope that you can treat yourself well. Before the truth is out, don't throw away your life like this! Even if you don't think about others, you have to think about zhen. zhen doesn't want to lose zhen's younger brother! Since you refuse to concoct the antidote, then zhen will concoct the antidote for this poison for you! Ever since the dust settled on Fifth Brother's matter, you have been coming to Zhen's palace once a day!”
"There's no need, the emperor is busy with state affairs, this minister's little brother won't trouble the emperor to worry for this minister's little brother!”Xie Yunchen spoke in a somewhat distant manner. He was the one who chose this path. Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, he did not wish for Xie Junyi to participate. Sometimes, it looked dangerous and fatal, but it was the best way to live, the best way! His life had been taken in danger.
Xie Yunchen had just taken a step forward when he heard Xie Junyi's cold voice,""This is Zhen's order! It was an order! No matter what you have to do, you have to put it aside first and come to the palace every day!”
He knew that if he did not use some forceful methods, Xie Yunchen would not have come. In fact, there was no need for him to enter the palace every day. However, he was vaguely afraid in his heart. He was afraid that this little brother of his, who had relied on him since he was young, would pass away without him knowing! Therefore, he could only use this method to ensure that Xie Yunchen lived well every day.
"Your younger brother receives the decree to thank you!" Xie Yunchen responded and left quietly without even turning his head back.
Xie Junyi stood there and looked at the empty royal study, feeling a wave of sadness…
Xie Yunchen headed straight for his own residence from the back of the Imperial Palace. If his guess was correct, Prince Ning would definitely send an elite force to break into his residence in an attempt to pin him down.
This was also what he could not ask for. If Prince Ning really sent such a team, it would definitely be unavoidable. Many people in the Imperial Residence would die overnight, and he was waiting for this opportunity!
If it was any other time, he really wouldn't be able to make a move to change the people of the Prince's mansion, but now it was different. He could use Ning Wangding's hands to kill the spies that were hidden very well. The people sent by Prince Ning naturally would not know who the spies were. Even if they knew, they would not help him get rid of these people. However, this did not mean that Xie Yunchen did not know who these people were, nor did it mean that he would not take advantage of the chaos and pretend to be Prince Ning's men to kill them!
Borrowing the enemy's hand to get rid of the worries around him was the best choice!
Although he couldn't kill all the people his mother had sent in, he could kill the people sent in by others and use the chaos to disguise his own people as those people! It was best to eliminate the dissidents around him!
The so-called exchanging a tanuki for a crown prince was just that. However, the only difference was that he did not use a tanuki to exchange for a crown prince. Instead, he used his own elites to exchange for those unstable factors.
And the prerequisite for this was that Xie Yunchen had grasped the identities of all the spies around him, as well as their personalities, characteristics, how to secretly reply to his master, and other information!
As for his mother, she would not easily take action unless it was absolutely necessary. If those people died, his mother would definitely use his residence as an excuse to send spies from the palace to his side.
A new spy was not as good as an old one. After a long time, their every move would be under his control. However, if he really sent a new spy, it would be a lot more troublesome. No matter where it was, the most taboo was to face an opponent whose strength was unknown. If these people came, it would be impossible for him to guard against them!
Although they couldn't all die, a small number of casualties were still acceptable. After all, swords and swords had no eyes. It was understandable that a few troublesome spies would die! Everything was under his control. All he had to do was to control everything in the dark and let it develop within his control!
Xie Yunchen was currently dressed in a beige cotton robe. His body was hunched over, and his hair had turned white at some point in time. Even his beautiful and pale face had become ordinary. His face was already covered in wrinkles, and he was no different from an old man who was over fifty years old.
There was a person lying on a large bed not far away from him. Looking closely, this person looked exactly like Xie Yunchen. At this moment, his face was filled with pain. His eyes were tightly shut, and his mouth was pale. The servant's breathing was extremely weak, as if he would die at any moment.
It was only after Xie Yunchen, who was disguised as an old man, sent away the group of people who had stayed by the bed to serve him that Xie Yunchen spoke,"Get up, there's no one else here!”
As Xie Yunchen's voice faded, the person on the bed who seemed to be on the verge of death immediately opened his eyes. His eyes shone with a bright light. Although this person's expression was the same as before, he was not as weak as before. He was not in a hurry to get up. Instead, he lay there without moving."Master, you're here!"
Xie Yunchen nodded. She did not care if the person on the bed could see her actions. She placed her hands behind her back and said in an extremely calm voice,""Act according to the plan. This king will accompany you. The empress dowager and the retired emperor were already invited into the secret passage by this king when this king returned! So don't have any scruples and just do what you want!”
