Chapter 316 After much thought, Yun Hai finally made up his mind and believed in this charlatan.
Taoist Qingfeng saw that the emperor had made up his mind and summoned the prince back to Beijing in order to let him meet the queen. In addition, if the queen had an accident, she would abdicate.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his slender fingers, gently closed his eyes, and pinched his fingers while muttering something. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and silently recited a Taoist name in his heart: "Wulian Tianzun".
Jun Jingli stared at Taoist Qingfeng with a sharp gaze: "Master, have you figured out whether it will be good or bad?"
"Wulian Tianzun, good or bad luck is hard to predict! But if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can return to the capital within five days, it will be a good omen. But... if he cannot arrive as scheduled, I, an old Taoist, will find it difficult to understand the mystery!" After saying this, he shook his head gently, with a mysterious expression on his face. ! "
Yun Hai thought to himself: "This charlatan is always busy with mysterious things. According to the ancient transportation, Cheng Yuheng can't return to Beijing within five days unless he has wings. Otherwise, he will die of exhaustion."
Lai Fu took a deep breath and said in a high-pitched and slightly worried tone: "Your Majesty, no matter how fast the eagle is, it will take at least two days to reach the northern border. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gallops day and night after receiving the news, it will probably take at least seven or eight days to reach the capital!"
Jun Jingli thought: "Long Yi, it will take a few days for the Second Prince to come back."
Long Yi clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Based on the distance between the Second Prince's current location and the capital, it will only take three days at most for him to successfully enter the capital."
Jun Jingli showed a solemn expression on his face, and continued: "If during this period, the Yu family noticed that things had changed and had evil intentions to destroy the mother Gu, then even the gods would not be able to save the queen.
In order to focus on my family, I have rarely interfered in state affairs over the years. More than half of the officials in the court support the second prince.
If the Crown Prince does not return to the capital, and the Yu family makes a desperate attempt to use the Mother Gu to threaten me to abdicate the throne to the Second Prince, I am afraid that the capital will be in chaos by then.
By then, even if the prince could get back to the capital in time, not only would he not be able to see the queen for the last time, he would also lose the opportunity to come up with a plan to deal with the situation. The consequences would be disastrous!"
Yunhai really didn't want to hear these secrets. He didn't know if it was too late for him to leave now. He really didn't know what the emperor was thinking. How could such a confidential matter be discussed in front of him? He silently cried out in his heart: Aaaaa! He is just a little doctor who is worth nothing! Emperor! Please let him go!
Yunhai looked at the emperor and Taoist Qingfeng who were sitting, then looked at Fulai and Longyi who were standing, and said weakly: "Your Majesty, how about I withdraw first! You can notify me when Your Majesty has made a decision."
Jun Jingli stared quietly at Doctor Yun in front of him, who kept calling himself "commoner".
Since their first meeting, Jun Jingli had never seen the slightest sign of servility on Yun Hai's face. On the contrary, no matter when or where, even when facing this person of noble status, Yun Hai always maintained a calm attitude.
Although he always said modestly that he "dared not", he actually did some extremely bold things repeatedly.
Doctor Yun was highly regarded by his father-in-law and Taoist Qingfeng. It seemed that he was definitely not an ordinary person who did nothing but mediocrity.
Besides, in the current situation, the relationship between the Yun family and the crown prince can be said to be a win-win situation. In this situation, how can the Yun family easily stay out of it?
Jun Jingli found it funny to see Yun Hai leaving to avoid suspicion: "Don't worry, Doctor Yun. I already know the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yun Village. Currently, Yun Village is tied to the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince loses power, then Yun Village, oh! No, Xiangyun New Village will not have a good ending. Doctor Yun can predict this even if I don't say it. I want to hear Doctor Yun's opinion on this matter."
Yunhai thought in his heart: Let’s see, everyone is calling him a dog emperor, and now he is about to be exposed!
But I dare not say what I think.
"Your Majesty, the common people..."
"I don't want to hear nonsense..." Jun Jingli said in a cold voice. He wanted to force this slippery old doctor.
When Yunhai heard this, he showed a sincere smile, and his smile scared Lai Fu and Long so much that they broke out in cold sweats.
I thought: Is Doctor Yun frightened silly?
Yun Hai finished laughing and bowed deeply to Jun Jingli: "Your Majesty, I have something I don't understand. Please help me. If I have said anything wrong, please forgive me."
"Doctor Yun, please speak freely! I forgive you!"
"I don't understand. If they can poison the Queen and threaten Your Majesty, why do they go to such great lengths to plot? Wouldn't it be quicker to get more poisonous insects? Why did they have to plot for nearly twenty years?"
Taoist Qingfeng also laughed when he heard this: "Doctor Yun said he didn't know. The Gu worm is not a maggot on the meat. You can get as many as you want from a piece of rotten meat. Gu worms are extremely difficult to raise. A Gu worm needs a lot of treasures from heaven and earth to feed. The original intention of raising Gu in southern Xinjiang is to cure diseases and save lives, not to harm people. It is difficult for Gu worms like this to survive. For the sleeping Gu in the queen, it is possible that they can only take out ten of them. If Gu worms can be obtained so easily, wouldn't it cause chaos in the world and turn the Tiangang upside down?"
Eunuch Lai Fu heard this and said indignantly: "The reason why they didn't poison the emperor again was because he was immune to the poison, so they poisoned the queen instead. It's not that they didn't want to poison the prince, but the prince is very vigilant and the poison insects are hard to come by, so they came up with that evil plan to harm His Royal Highness the Prince."
Yun Hai understood: "So that's how it is."
Yunhai frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. He carefully pondered the complex and serious situation at the moment, thinking in his heart that what the emperor said was indeed reasonable.
Their Yun family and all the people who followed them are now closely connected with the prince. The prince is their only supporter.
At this moment, the Crown Prince is far away in the northern border and has no time to care about the affairs in the capital. However, the Second Prince and his followers are eyeing the opportunity and trying to take advantage of this opportunity to usurp the throne.
If they were allowed to succeed, not only would the Yun family face annihilation, but the entire Xiangyun New Village would probably not be spared, and ordinary people inside and outside the capital would also be affected and suffer casualties.
Although Duo'er has the high-tech weapons in the space, she will be exposed at that time. Besides, the Yun family is weak after all. If they want to fight against half of the imperial court, there will inevitably be casualties. At that time, many innocent villagers will suffer.
After much deliberation, Yunhai finally made up his mind.
He believed this charlatan just this once.
Since just letting Cheng Yuheng return to Beijing can resolve the crisis and avoid more bloody conflicts and innocent lives being involved, he will find a way to get Cheng Yuheng back within five days.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave my granddaughter a megaphone that can be transmitted over thousands of miles.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked my granddaughter to send him a message thousands of miles away if there was anything extremely urgent.
But unfortunately, His Royal Highness said that the Thousand Miles Megaphone can only transmit sound once, and His Royal Highness only got this one. Once it is used, it will be gone."
After saying this, Yunhai sighed with regret.
"Really? That's great. If that girl asks him to come back, the boy should be able to come back in five days." After Jun Jingli finished speaking, he still felt sour in his heart. He had investigated his son's affairs very clearly and knew how much his son cared about Yun Duo. His son was as infatuated with her as he was.
"Your Majesty, please send someone to send Yunxiang home to deliver a message to his sister. After receiving the letter, Yun Duoer will pass the message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to set off immediately. Your Majesty must remain calm in the next few days as usual, and don't let the other side get any clues. As for me, you can send someone to send me to Cheng Mansion tomorrow or keep me in the palace." Yun Hai complained in his heart, it would be fine to send Yunxiang away and keep him as a hostage.
"Okay, let's do as Doctor Yun says. Long Yi, you personally send Yun Xiang back to Yun Duo'er."
"I obey my orders."
"Then I will go and talk to Yunxiang. I will take my leave now."
Yunhai returned to Qingfeng Garden and whispered to Yunxiang: "You and this dragon guard go home, and ask your sister Duo'er to pass a message to His Highness, asking him to return to the capital as soon as possible. Don't let anyone else know this. Once the letter is delivered, you don't have to come here, just stay in Xiangyun Village."
Although Yunhai spoke in a low voice, she didn't dare to say anything else because she knew that people who practiced martial arts had excellent hearing.
Yunxiang nodded in agreement. Long Yi wrapped Yunxiang in a piece of cloth and carried him on his back. He used his lightness skills to jump onto the roof and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
