Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

Pei Mingxu woke up in a daze, but his eyelids felt extremely heavy and he couldn't open them.

After struggling to no avail, he could only calm down first.

At this time, the conversation between the emperor and empress and Dr. Magson could be heard.

"...How could Man Yin have a sudden attack? Doesn't it mean that as long as you don't come into contact with the trigger, nothing will happen?"

Queen Nanasha lost control of her emotions and her voice trembled slightly.

Magson sighed and said: "After all, this poison is the secret medicine of the royal family of the Tree Vine Empire. My understanding is not comprehensive."

"..."

When this shocking news fell, the emperor and empress were immediately speechless.

Magson added: "Your Majesty, you'd better get the main medicinal ingredients as soon as possible. Your Highness's poison has been induced for the second time. If it happens a few more times, I'm afraid the toxicity will break out in advance."

What would be the consequences of an early outbreak? After the two men's investigations over the past few days, it couldn't be clearer.

It took Pei Chaoxi a long time to reply. He put his firm arms around Nanasha's shaky body, and arranged for the maid to send Magson away.

After a while, there were only three people left in the Prince's Palace again.

"Nanasha, do you want to go to the side hall and rest for a while? I'll call you when Mingxu wakes up."

Pei Chaoxi gently stroked the black spots under Nanasha's eyes, his eyes full of pity.

Nanasha tried her best to smile, raised her head, and said, "Don't worry, I took some time to sleep for a few dozen minutes during my busy schedule, but it's you, you've been busy all day, so go get some sleep first."

Pei Chaoxi shook his head: "Looking at Mingxu lying down, I can't sleep either."

"Then let's go and chat by the window."

Nanasha didn't force herself, she pulled him over the end of the bed and sat down at the small table on the circular terrace.

Looking in from this position, you can clearly see Pei Mingxu's sleeping face.

The two of them looked at him deeply, looked away, and started talking about business.

Nanasha said: "The Shuteng Empire said that Queen Luoyin will return to the palace tomorrow, and a video conference can be arranged the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Such royal secrets are not suitable to be handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Otherwise, if the news is leaked, it will be big news for both countries.

Pei Chaoxi said: "The Sixth Army Corps stationed in the east has been reorganized. If an agreement cannot be reached, it can set off at any time."

Nanasha nodded: "Just be prepared. Don't act rashly. Judging from today's incident, Magson is not proficient in detoxifying Manyin. Maybe we will ask each other for it in the end."

Pei Chaoxi's eyes were full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Shuvine Empire must be involved in this matter, otherwise it would be such a coincidence that the antidote needs a special material like the blood of the royal family to prepare."

Nanasha agreed and responded: "She must have some plans for us. Now that the nobles have been defeated, maybe we can find some clues in this video conference."

Durmston, first floor classroom.

Gu Cheng took back their trophy alone.

When passing by Pei Mingxu's empty table, he paused, and after a while, he continued walking back to his seat.

He carefully put the trophy into the table and placed a textbook on mechanical principles under it.

Since the incident the day before yesterday, today is already the second day of leave for His Highness.

Gu Cheng didn't know what kind of illness His Highness was sick. Not only could the Royal News not upload any news about Pei Mingxu, but even on the famous news black market, there were high bids but no one took the order.

Pei Mingxu disappeared from everyone's lives as if he suddenly evaporated.

Gu Cheng worriedly ate the vegetables in the bowl, his mind thinking rapidly about various possibilities.

But the two polished commanders didn't want to give up, and they seemed to be trying to get rid of them.

Luo Chunsheng completely stopped pretending in front of him. He leaned back in his chair arrogantly and said teasingly: "Hey, Gu Cheng, your master hasn't come to school recently and no one is protecting you. Are you panicking?"

Gu Cheng: "... Bah, bah, bah."

Luo Chunsheng: "Don't think that I don't know that you are pretending to be calm. The wounds you made with those knives were really deep. In order to remember the shame you brought to me, I did not remove the scars."

He stretched out his hands and inserted the mottled white marks on his wrists between Gu Cheng and the dishes, abruptly interrupting Gu Cheng's train of thought.

Gu Cheng didn't give him a look, vigorously shook off his hand, and continued to eat.

"Hey! How dare you do it!"

Luo Chunsheng couldn't control his temper again and was about to hit him with his palm, but was intercepted by Brian on the side.

Brian shook his head at him. Luo Chunsheng exerted force again, but Brian easily pulled his hand off, and even his man pulled him back to the chair.

When Luo Chunsheng wanted to get angry, Brian quickly whispered a few words to him.

He hummed a few more times, but stopped making trouble. He folded his hands and looked out the window.

This area is finally quiet.

Because of their strange combination of two men competing for one man, Gu Cheng has received many looks that he doesn't know how to describe in the past few days.

Even Eugene couldn't help but come to him to confirm the gossip.

It was through Eugene that he understood the meaning of those looks.

It turns out that in the eyes of outsiders, he is the pretty little white flower No. 3 who is coerced and coerced by the domineering No. 1 and silently guarded by the gentle and polite No. 2.

Eugene also felt very sorry for the fact that he was a man.

After all, heterosexuality is still the mainstream today.

Now, the legendary gentle second place is threatening and tempting with a weird smile.

Brian brushed his forehead and said, "Classmate Gu Cheng, although we made mistakes first, we have already paid the price. Why can't you be more generous and forgive your classmates?"

Gu Cheng took a mouthful of vegetables, put it in his mouth, switched sides and chewed.

Brian: "Classmate Gu Cheng, it doesn't matter if you don't forgive me, but what I say next is for your own good. I hope you can listen carefully."

He said to himself: "In this class, neutralists will not end well."

"Just like when you threatened Jin and the others when school started, among those who left this class, apart from those who were unqualified, the most were those who had not joined any faction and were squeezed out."

He leaned back leisurely, stared at the top of Gu Cheng's head and said, "You are a smart man. After nearly half a month of observation, we found that you are indeed quite loyal. You are the most wanted person among all factions. The kind of talent we need.”

"I'm very optimistic about you." He said with approval.

Then he leaned forward slightly and said with stern eyes: "The royal family is too busy taking care of themselves right now and can't take care of you at all. And the five families are toothless tigers now and can't help you much."

"You have no choice but me, us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Cheng put down his chopsticks and asked seriously: "What's wrong with the royal family now?"

Brian seemed to have expected this question from him and did not hide it: "Although the specific problem is not clear, the crisis this time comes from the person you have longed to seek refuge in, Pei Mingxu."

It was as if he hadn't said anything yet. Gu Cheng couldn't draw any more conclusions from his look, so he wanted to continue eating.

Brian quickly stopped him and said, "Don't worry, I also received a message."

Gu Cheng paused and continued to listen.

Brian said calmly: "Although I don't know if it is related, the royal family has been frequently contacting the Tree Vine Empire recently."

Tree Vine Empire!

The tree vine clan! Ke Jin!

Thinking of Ke Jin who had just settled in Blue Star a few years ago, Gu Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

He had an inexplicable intuition that this crisis would definitely affect Ke Jin.

I was flustered for a few seconds, but quickly returned to normal.

He controlled his facial expression and smiled at Brian: "Thank you."

Brian didn't expect Gu Cheng's reaction.

In his opinion, if this news had not come from an insider who had been buried for many years, he would have thought he had gotten false news.

The Empire and the Tree Vine Empire have not interfered with each other in the past few decades and have developed independently, just like harmonious neighbors, familiar with each other but not yet familiar with each other.

But he couldn't figure out the reason for such frequent contact.

The most important thing is that too many flags in the palace have been cleared, and the information is inconsistent, making people confused.

Brian thought that Gu Cheng was ready to agree. Just as he was about to say some words of welcome, he saw Gu Cheng pick up the rice bowl and leave.

Didn't even look at him.

Luo Chunsheng turned around and found that the person was missing, and quickly asked: "Did he agree?"

Brian shook his head and nodded again.

Luo Chunsheng grabbed his hand and said angrily: "Speak clearly, don't let me guess!"

Brian looked at his irritable and irritable pig teammate, and then thought of the loyal and thoughtful Gu Cheng, and reluctantly explained: "He thanked me, but he left."

"Then did he agree or not?"

Brian looked at the disappearing figure, and after a while he came to the conclusion: "Maybe he didn't agree, because we were paid for nothing."

"Hey, he is really shameless."

Brian shook his head: "Forget it, a new person will come in a few days, let's find someone else to win over."

Luo Chunsheng's eyes widened angrily: "No, he humiliated me and hurt me. I must make him pay the price!"

"That's up to you, I'll leave first."

Brian didn't want to talk to him too much.

People who pretend to be asleep cannot be woken up, and the stupidity of fools is contagious.
