Chapter 680: Violent Proton + Crazy Princess 46
"Neither this nor that! So what do you want?"
The emperor roared with his eyes wide open and an angry look on his face.
If it wasn't for the whole plan to be foolproof and go ahead smoothly, with his extremely noble status, he wouldn't have the patience to waste words with this ungrateful hostage in front of him.
Seeing that the emperor was already angry, Xuanyuan Ming thought for a while and decided not to let the emperor change his mind because of his momentary anger and turn around to find someone else to carry out this task.
Otherwise, if the situation gets out of control, they will inevitably fall into an extremely passive position, and may even lose everything.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Ming hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down and listen to me. I have a plan that can not only help Your Majesty eliminate the troubles in your heart, but also make me achieve my wish. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to listen to it?"
The emperor suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said coldly: "Go ahead."
Xuanyuan Ming had no expression on his face and said in a cold voice: "This is my plan.
I'm sure Your Majesty has other powerful poisons in your hands. You might as well give one to me.
After I take it, I will hold the wedding with the princess as scheduled.
After the wedding, Your Majesty will arrange for someone to escort me back to Yuan State.
After returning to Yuan Kingdom, I will find a suitable opportunity to poison the princess.
After the matter is accomplished, Your Majesty will send someone to deliver the antidote to me as quickly as possible.
In this way, Your Majesty can remove the thorn in your side, and I can also achieve my own goal. Isn't this the best of both worlds? "
The emperor's sharp eyes were fixed on Xuanyuan Ming, who was sitting upright, as if he wanted to see through his appearance to his true thoughts deep in his heart.
He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, carefully considering the strategy that Xuanyuan Ming had just mentioned.
Xuanyuan Ming sat there quietly, without any sign of anxiety or urging.
He knew that this decision was of vital importance to the emperor and that he would need time to digest and weigh the pros and cons.
So he just waited quietly, giving the emperor enough space to think.
The reason why Xuanyuan Ming dared to come up with such a bold and risky plan, even taking the poison himself, was because he was sure that Yun Youran would never watch him die.
This certainty was not without reason, but came from the feelings between them and his understanding of Yun Youran.
In his heart, Yun Youran has always been that warm and bright light, but at this moment, he had to use this light to achieve his goal, even though he knew in his heart that this behavior was really despicable and shameless.
However, in order to return to Yuan Kingdom as soon as possible and save his mother and brother who were in dire straits, he had no choice but to harden his heart and let down his beloved ones.
However, Xuanyuan Ming secretly swore in his heart that once he successfully returned to Yuan Kingdom and rescued his mother and brother from the predicament, he would do everything he could to make up for the harm he had caused to his beloved ones.
By then, no matter what requests or conditions she put forward, even if it was to let him give up his dignity, serve her like an ox or a horse, and let her order him around at will, he would carry it out without hesitation.
He will spend his whole life repaying this debt and use endless love and care to make up for the current exploitation.
The emperor saw Xuanyuan Ming still standing there like a mountain, and smiled heartily, "Okay, I accept your plan. But you have to promise to get rid of her for me."
At this time, Xuanyuan Ming raised his eyes and looked at him, "Your Majesty, if you adopt my plan, I will have to take poison. The antidote is firmly in your hand, what are you afraid of?"
"Hahaha! That's right! Okay, it's settled. Wait for me while I go get the medicine."
Looking at the royal secret medicine in his hand, the emperor narrowed his eyes and smiled. He had seen people seeking to live, but had never seen anyone seeking to die.
Since Xuanyuan Ming needs it so much, how could he not fulfill his efforts!
As for whether to send the antidote after Yun Youran is eliminated, it is still up to him to decide.
Within a few breaths, the emperor came with a small box.
He walked up to Xuanyuan Ming and said to him, "Think carefully. Once the plan is implemented, there will be no turning back."
Xuanyuan Ming looked at the small box in the emperor's hand and nodded gently, "I've thought about it."
Seeing him nod, the emperor opened the box and handed it to Xuanyuan Ming.
Xuanyuan Ming looked at the pills in the box and asked, "How long will it take for the poison to take effect after taking this medicine?"
"Half a year. If you haven't gotten rid of Princess Anle in half a year, you will die of the poison."
Xuanyuan Ming frowned and said, "Isn't this time too short? What if I haven't returned to Yuan Country by then and I die of poison on the way?"
The emperor said calmly, "Don't worry. Starting tomorrow, I will let the queen start arranging your wedding. As soon as Anle comes back, you will get married immediately.
Three days after the wedding, you will set out to return to Yuan Kingdom.
In three months at most, you will be able to return to the land of Yuan Kingdom.
By then, you will have two months to prepare, find opportunities, and get rid of Anle."
Xuanyuan Ming pretended to be convinced and said, "Then let's proceed according to the plan!"
He reached into the box, picked up the poison, then put it into his mouth without hesitation and swallowed it.
The emperor heaved a sigh of relief when he saw him take the poison.
Finally it’s done.
After a cup of tea, the emperor let Xuanyuan Ming leave.
The reason why he was allowed to leave after a cup of tea was because the emperor was afraid that he would play tricks and secretly spit out the poison.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, even if he hid the poison in his throat, it would have dissolved.
Xuanyuan Ming didn't care. He had already taken the poison, so why not sit for a while longer?
He dragged his slightly heavy steps back to Huayang Palace. As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, Xiao Zhan ran over like a gust of wind and asked anxiously, "Why did the emperor summon you?"
Xuanyuan Ming frowned slightly, and quickly glanced around. After making sure that no one was nearby, he lowered his voice slightly and said in a low tone:
"He told me to poison Ran Ran to death, and after that he would arrange for someone to escort me back to Yuan Country."
Xiao Zhan was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Xuanyuan Ming in disbelief, with a strong sense of anger and disgust surging in his heart.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and shouted excitedly:
"This is outrageous! Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so how could the emperor be so cruel?
It's worse than an animal!"
Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Ming glared at Xiao Zhan fiercely and scolded in a low voice:
"Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid that no one is watching you, or are you worried that your words won't reach the emperor's ears?"
Being scolded, Xiao Zhan did not flinch, and stared back at Xuanyuan Ming with his eyes wide open, his tone full of doubt and dissatisfaction: "You won't agree to the emperor!"
"Hmm..." Xuanyuan Ming had just opened his mouth to say one word when he was rudely interrupted by Xiao Zhan before he could finish the rest of his words.
