Heartthrob Substitute Counterattack Manual [Transmigration Book]

The assassination of Emperor Shenglin by Xiao Ling caught everyone by surprise, and the eldest prince of Miaojiang was even more shocked and at a loss.

Emperor Shenglin suppressed his anger, but his expression was already grim, he said politely to the eldest prince of Miaojiang, laughed, arranged their residence, and hurriedly dismissed the reception.

Emperor Shenglin arranged Miao Jiang and his party in the executive office not far from the imperial palace, and ordered them to treat them well, but in fact they were monitoring them.

Concubine Li Gui received the news of Xiao Ling's assassination and Prime Minister Xiao kneeling outside the meeting hall to plead guilty. What she did today was true. As Xiao Ling's aunt, she naturally shouldered his faults and asked Emperor Cheng Lin to remove her power over the harem and put her in the cold palace.

Concubine Ligui regained the favor of Emperor Shenglin because of the matter of the fourth prince. Emperor Shenglin cared about her friendship and did not put her in the cold palace. Gong has a good rest, don't think wildly, and let Prime Minister Xiao go home, don't go to the cabinet these days, and leave the matter to other ministers.

Everything will be dealt with after Xiao Ling is caught and the matter is investigated clearly.

Although Prime Minister Xiao and Concubine Li Gui did not receive any punishment, everyone knew that Xiao Ling had done such a rebellious thing, and it was impossible for the two of them to imagine holding power like they did in the past.

It's just that everyone couldn't figure out why Xiao Ling, who had always been righteous and loyal, would assassinate Emperor Shenglin?

No matter how you look at it, it's impossible.

Mo Tianran guessed half of the reason for this.

"Father, Xiao Ling has been hit by a Gu."

Only Emperor Cheng Lin, He Jinxi and Mo Tianran were in the meeting hall, and he had no scruples in speaking.

When Emperor Chenglin heard his words, his brows trembled, and he quickly regained his composure, seeming to breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, Xiao Ling was the child he watched and grew up, and he had always been so well-behaved and sensible, so it was hard for Emperor Cheng Lin to believe that he had betrayed him so well.

Listening to Mo Tianran's extenuating reasons now, he naturally feels less panicked.

"Gu?" Emperor Cheng Lin frowned, "Miao Jiang?"

Mo Tianran didn't answer, and it's inconvenient to draw conclusions before the matter is investigated clearly.

Emperor Chenglin was thoughtful, "Isn't it a little too arrogant for the eldest prince of Miaojiang to lay a spell on my important officials on the first day he came?"

He sneered when he spoke, full of killing intent.

Mo Tianran didn't agree, "Father, my ministers don't think this is what the prince of Miaojiang did."

Emperor Chenglin looked at him, "Why do you see that?"

After Mo Tianran expressed his thoughts, Emperor Chenglin pondered for a while after hearing this.

"It's just right that you are all here today, I have something to entrust to you."

--------

It was night, there was no moon, and there was no wind, and the darkness was thick and disturbing.

On the east side of the capital, the guard on duty at night had just finished checking the street near this private house, and walked quickly towards another street.

After they left, a little orange-red fire lighted up faintly, burning through the black curtain, and the fire spread rapidly until the fire burned to the nearby houses, awakening the sleeping people, and completely plunged them into panic.

The entire street was awakened, and the fire was fierce. It was not completely extinguished until four o'clock in the morning, when the sky was slightly white.

The people who put out the fire were sweating profusely from exhaustion, talking a lot from time to time.

"Hey, what a tragedy. Such a big house has been burned to ashes. How did the fire start? It burned so badly that no one noticed it?"

"It seems that the fire started from this house in the east. His house is far away from other houses. It burned all the way to this house in the west before being discovered by his housekeeper. When we arrived, the house was almost burned."

"What? It wasn't discovered until it burned to another house. Is there no one in his house?"

"Look, Fu Yin ordered people to go in and look for it. No one was found. I'm afraid it was burnt to ashes. You said how sleepy it must have been to burn it down like this, but they didn't find it."

"Perhaps he was fainted by the smoke, so he couldn't escape. It's really miserable."

"Hey, if it's true as you said, it's really miserable."

The officials of Jingzhao Prefecture carefully checked whether there were any corpses in the burnt house. Everyone in the street had regret and fear on their faces. Anyone who saw such a sudden fire would feel lingering fear.

Tiankui stood in the dark and observed all this, and disappeared without a trace.

----------

Although the matter of Xiao Ling's trip has not subsided yet, but the envoys from Miao Jiang proposed to complete the competition, so Emperor Sheng Lin picked another day to continue this cultural exchange.

In the martial arts competition, Miao Jiang had already lost, but due to Xiao Ling's unexpected accident, no one dared to mention it, and Lan Li was also very interested in pretending that it didn't happen.

Therefore, the two sides tacitly conducted the second competition-saving people.

Emperor Cheng Lin stroked his beard, looked at Lan Li, "How do you want to compare?"

With a wave of Lan Li's hand, the envoys from Miao Jiang immediately carried three people up, each of them was unconscious, his face was pale, and the last one even festered all over his body, which made everyone frown.

Emperor Cheng Lin turned his eyes away, "What does this mean?"

Lan sternly said, "Your Majesty, these are the patients in this competition. There are three people in total. Each of them has a different severity of illness. If you can wake these three people up within a stick of incense, you will win."

Mo Tianran glanced at the three people lying on the ground, squinted sharply, and wondered where he got so many patients.

Lan Li said again, "But of course there are rewards and punishments for the competition, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Chenglin smiled, "According to the opinion of the eldest prince, what should we do?"

Lan Li smiled and said, "If Your Majesty and your people win, we, Miao Jiang, are willing to submit to Dafeng."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and it was even more difficult to understand the intention of the prince of Miaojiang. If he really intended to be a vassal state, why did he pass this kind of competition.

Emperor Cheng Lin was unmoved, "What if Miao Jiang wins?"

The corner of Lan Li's mouth twitched, "I hope His Majesty will cede ten border cities and promise not to invade the Miao border."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and He Yuancheng sneered, "Ceding the ten cities, you are simply fanciful."

Lan Li smiled slightly, "If Da Feng can't afford to lose, Xiao Wang won't force it."

Emperor Cheng Lin thought about it for a while, the ten cities and Miao Jiang became ministers, no matter how you look at it, they are all conditions that are evenly matched.

"Can you represent Miao Jiang?"

He Jinxi, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth.

Lan Li was taken aback, but strangely, he showed embarrassment, raised his eyebrows, and turned his head to look at him murderously.

But the moment he saw He Jinxi, he suppressed his anger, his face was full of astonishment, and he couldn't help saying, "Who is this beauty?"

Mo Tianran endured it, so he didn't drug Lan Li on the spot and blind him.

He Jinxi didn't even look at him, he completely despised him.

Lan Li was even more interested.

Everyone looked aggrieved at him, "This is our tenth prince, please show some respect."

Lan Li stared at He Jinxi, "The Tenth Prince? So it turned out to be like this..."

He didn't say what he said next, because Emperor Chenglin had run out of patience.

"Prince, if you really intend to represent Miao Jiang, Dafeng is willing to bet with you in this game."

Emperor Chenglin waved his hand to block everyone's words of persuasion, and added, "It's just that it's not enough to be a minister to Dafeng, I want you to stay in Dafeng for ten years!"

As soon as these words came out, Lan Li's face changed drastically, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this condition..."

Emperor Cheng Lin closed his eyes, obviously refusing to negotiate terms.

Lan Li's expression changed unpredictably, and the envoys around him tried to wink at him, and Lan Li finally agreed, "Okay, Xiao Wang is willing to promise His Majesty."

"Wait a minute." He Yuancheng said, "The person you arranged, who knows if you will cheat, and why don't you save it, it's not fair to us."

Lan Li smiled, "Elder Prince, don't be afraid of losing, these people are easy tasks for our witch doctors in Miaojiang."

"You!" He Yuancheng let out his nostrils angrily, and Emperor Chenglin gave him a sideways glance, and then he held back the next words, and angrily withdrew his gaze.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth turned up slightly, looking particularly arrogant and unbeatable.

What He Yuancheng said was true, and everyone believed it. It was really unfair that these patients all came from Miao Jiang.

Emperor Chenglin smiled slightly, "I am a big country with a lot of talents, so I don't care about these things."

His implication is that if you want to cheat this small country, you will cheat. As the emperor of a big country, he is out of common sense.

Lan Li snorted coldly from the bottom of his heart, and smiled ambiguously, "Your Majesty is wise."

The corner of Emperor Shenglin's mouth curled up slightly, and asked three imperial doctors to come to the hall, and Mo Tianran was naturally among them.

Miao Jiang also stood up three people.

Lan Li squinted at the imperial doctor at Dafeng's side, and finally landed on Mo Tianran, and smiled slightly, "This is so young, but he is also an imperial doctor?"

Emperor Chenglin smiled and said, "He is the judge of the Left Court of the Supreme Hospital."

Mo Tianran nodded towards Lan Li, "Mu Xiurong has seen the eldest prince."

"Mur Xiurong?" Lan Li was taken aback for a moment, then quickly laughed, and looked at him with raised eyes, "On the way here, I heard that Dafeng's tenth prince married a man, so he called him Murong, could it be you?"

His tone was very disrespectful, even sarcasm, and everyone frowned.

Mo Tianran smiled gracefully, "It's me."

Lan Li looked him up and down, laughed at the envoy who was in charge of translation, and said something in Miao language, and the envoy immediately showed embarrassment.

Even if everyone can't understand it, they know it's not a good word.

The envoy translated with embarrassment, "The eldest prince praised the ten imperial concubines for their good looks."

Everyone's faces were still ugly, and they knew that it was not that simple when they saw the expressions of Lan Li and the translator.

Sure enough, Lan Li immediately said, "Your translation is wrong. I praised him for looking like a woman. No wonder he is attracted by men. He must be very good at serving people."

Everyone gasped, their faces were as dark as black charcoal hidden deep in the mine, and even Emperor Cheng Lin's face darkened.

Lan Li still smiled recklessly, even the other Miao Jiang envoys were sullen, looking to remind him.

Mo Tianran looked at Lan Li, smiled suddenly, and moved his fingers behind his back slightly, preventing He Jinxi from trying to teach him a lesson.

"Oh? It sounds like the eldest prince is very experienced?" Mo Tianran said indifferently, "It's just that someone like the eldest prince would be so interested."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lan Li's figure and showed a "spicy eye" expression.

Mo Tianran's words made the hall quiet for a while, and then someone behind him laughed "噗嗤", and the faces of everyone in Miao Jiang became even darker.

Lan Li snorted, glared at Mo Tianran, and put away his smiling face.

Although this joke is too much, it can make Lan Li unhappy after all, and everyone feels very happy.

Lan Li looked at Mo Tianran, "Ten Imperial Concubine really has a good mouth, but I don't know if her medical skills are as good."

Mo Tianran gave him a look of "don't bother yourself", and choked him enough.

Emperor Chenglin's expression softened a little, and he ordered the competition to begin.

The six people lying on the bed had different degrees of illness, and both sides also selected one person for treatment.

At the beginning of the competition, Lan Li signaled Da Feng to go on the field first, so the judge from the right court entered the field first. He felt the pulse of one of them, his brows were knotted, and he thought to himself what kind of strange disease it was, why couldn't it be found out at all.

But on this occasion, he naturally couldn't show his timidity, and could only rack his brains to think about how to prescribe the right medicine.

As the time passed by, everyone couldn't help but sweat for him. He was the first one on the stage and couldn't save him. It would easily damage his morale.

Lan Li smiled proudly, "If this lord can't be cured, he can only be handed over to other lords for treatment."

The judge in the right court was sweating on his forehead, but he couldn't find out what the disease was.

Lan Li continued to pull hatred, "You can't even tell what kind of disease it is?"

He whispered to the translator at the side, "Is this the level of the judgment of the right court?"

Everyone's faces were darkened, and the judge in the right court was even more anxious. He couldn't help looking at Mo Tianran. Mo Tianran gestured to him, telling him to be calm and not to be impatient. If he can't be cured, he will come down.

The time for a stick of incense soon came, and the judgment of the right court let out a sigh of relief, and knelt down to Emperor Chenglin to confess, "I am incompetent."

Emperor Chenglin waved his hand to signal him to go down, and Mu Chengqi stepped onto the stage immediately after.

He held the wrist of the patient who had just been treated in the right courtyard to feel the pulse, and then, he quickly became dazed.

Lan Li and other Miao Jiang envoys looked at his expression with satisfaction, very proud.

Whether it's the sentence of the right court or the head of the court, no matter who comes, it is impossible for the three of them to wake up.

Because these three people were not sick at all, but had died long ago, but they were suspended with Gu poison and became fake dead.

How can the dead wake up?

Everyone knows that this is impossible.

Dafeng is ten cities, and they are going to decide on Miaojiang.
