Zhao Ying said this very clearly and clearly analyzed her position in the Zhao family.

He looked sincere, but Gu Linqiao didn't dare to believe it all.

The previous words were all believable, but it was the last words that made her question it.

Can Zhao Liquan live forever?

This is impossible.

"If the prince and princess don't believe what I say, they can just think that what I said is a joke and just laugh it off. Don't take it to heart."

Zhao Ying's eyes fell on the two of them and said calmly, "But if a fatal blow is needed, if the plan is feasible, I might be able to use it."

He didn't say it clearly, but he seemed to make it very clear, and it was natural for him to understand.

And after saying this, Zhao Ying didn't stay any longer and stood up to leave.

Watching him leave the Gu family, Feng Yunsu said, "Zhao Ying has never lied. Zhao Liquan is cruel. The Zhao family's hope does not rest on him alone."

Zhao Ying seems to be unparalleled, and in everyone's eyes, he is the natural heir to the Zhao family, but Zhao Liquan's ambitions are huge, and he will never let anyone seize power from him.

Zhao Ying should be his choice as the heir after failure. Before his goal is achieved, Zhao Ying is just a pawn that he can sacrifice at any time.

This is exactly the same as Feng Yunsu's situation. They were born as if they were chess pieces instead of flesh-and-blood children.

Gu Linqiao agreed with Feng Yunsu's point of view, and even believed in Zhao Ying's sincerity in wanting to cooperate with them.

He knew that he, Feng Yunsu, and Zhao Liquan would fight to the death, and if they sold well without losing a piece of meat, one day, if they could get away from Zhao Liquan with a little help, why not?
only…

"Can Zhao Liquan live forever? What a joke!"

Gu Linqiao said sarcastically, but the hand on his side tightened unconsciously.

Feng Yunsu noticed it and called out in a deep voice, "Lin Qiao!"

"He kept repeating that he could live forever, and he convinced others. I don't know if Zhao Ying really believed it, but once this word reaches the emperor's ears, he will definitely believe it."

Gu Linqiao raised his eyes and looked at Feng Yunsu, "When you go to Damu, you will be in danger no matter whether you win or lose, unless...the battle situation is deadlocked and the emperor has no choice but to use you."

This is a way to protect Feng Yunsu.

Feng Yun paused solemnly for a while. Gu Linqiao looked at his face and knew that he had no intention of doing this.

Facing her gaze, Feng Yunsu took the initiative and said, "A stalemate in the war situation will drag down the country's strength, and it will be the people of the Northern Dynasty who will suffer."

"If the situation of the war is unclear, it will inevitably lead to internal strife over time, and the gold and jade will be defeated on the outside. If you don't fight, you will be defeated."

Gu Linqiao understood instantly. That old fox Zhao Liquan had figured everything out. How could he not have thought of this?
He tests a person's conscience and character in all aspects. In his plan, no one with any conscience can survive.

Unfortunately, both she and Feng Yunsu still had only a little bit of conscience left.

It was this remaining conscience that made Zhao Liquan's plan impeccable.

As Feng Yunsu said, it's not scary to know his plans and conspiracies. What's scary is that you can only follow his plans but don't know where his end point and purpose are.

She understood Feng Yunsu's thoughts and could not change his mind, so the two of them fell into a dilemma that could be solved by erasing their consciences and could not escape.

……

On the second day after Zhao Ying was granted the marriage, Feng Yunsu's imperial edict to lead troops on an expedition also came to the palace.

This time Feng Yunsu did not resist the order, but knelt on the ground and accepted the order with a serious expression.

He was about to go on an expedition. Gu Linqiao came to Zhao's house again and went straight to the backyard to find Zhao Liquan as usual.

"Are you giving me medicine?"

Zhao Liquan looked at Gu Linqiao and asked with a smile.Gu Linqiao stared at him and said, "I'm here to get medicine."

Zhao Liquan asked, "What medicine should I take?"

"An antidote."

Gu Linqiao didn't want to hear him continue to act stupid, so he said directly, "Feng Yunsu and my grandfather's antidote."

Zhao Liquan said in surprise, "I've given it to you. Aren't they doing well now?"

“Just because it’s good now, doesn’t mean it will be good in the future.”

After Gu Linqiao finished speaking, Zhao Liquan said nonchalantly, "Let's wait until the worst happens. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Gu Linqiao clenched her fists instantly. She really wanted to blow Zhao Liquan's head off with one punch to see what evil things were inside.

"It's useless for you to take the medicine I gave to the Liang family. Neither Gu Yun nor Feng Yunsu can use the medicine now. There is no need to wait for the second medicine to be taken. As long as the first medicine is imported, death will be inevitable."

Zhao Liquan looked at Gu Linqiao and said in a deep voice, "Don't think I'm scaring you again. This medicine is an unimproved version in the early days. It's different now. After the dosage of the two medicines was increased or decreased, the two medicines melted into It’s just a pill, so there’s no danger in taking it.”

"But there are some shortcomings, that is, they have to take it regularly, otherwise they will still die. If the medicine in your hand is given to them, it will be very poisonous and will only make them die faster."

Gu Linqiao asked, "Why should I trust you?"

Zhao Liquan smiled with a relaxed expression, "You don't have to believe me, unless you do an experiment on one of them to verify whether what I said is correct."

Can human life be used as an experiment?
Gu Linqiao felt that every word Zhao Liquan said was not human, and he was tightly holding her lifeline.

She thought for a moment and then said, "I won't give you the medicine. I will leave Kyoto City with Feng Yunsu."

Zhao Liquan pretended to be indifferent, but what he said was extremely vicious, "If you want to see him die, just go ahead."

Sure enough, she couldn't leave here.

Gu Linqiao asked patiently, "What do you want me to do?"

Zhao Liquan smiled, "When I ask you to do it, I will naturally tell you, why are you in such a hurry?"

Gu Linqiao stared at him, speechless.

His attitude was clearly teasing her, and she couldn't resist.

She had to stay in Kyoto City and wait for his orders. Without his orders, she could not go anywhere.

Gu Linqiao said coldly, "In that case, I'll go back first."

"Don't be in a hurry."

Zhao Liquan asked her, "Can you play chess?"

Gu Linqiao asked, "Does backgammon count?"

Zhao Liquan's eyes showed disgust, but he still said, "It's okay, just play with me for a while."

Gu Linqiao didn't think he really needed anyone to play chess, but he didn't know what his purpose was, so he still sat down peacefully.

After playing backgammon for a while, Gu Linqiao failed.

At the beginning of the second game, Zhao Ying came back, but his face was not good, and there was a blood mark on Junyi's face, as if he had been scratched by a long sword.

Zhao Liquan asked lightly, "Why are you still hurting others?"

Zhao Yingdao said, "It's okay. My subordinates were not convinced and had a fight."

Zhao Liquan hummed, and then said, "You are about to set off. The people under your command must be packed up early. Otherwise, there will be no useful people on the battlefield, and you will not be able to kill thousands of troops with just one person."
