Chapter 101
"What a... good method!"
After hearing Su Xuan's analysis, Yan Lingji couldn't help but sigh.
Admittedly, Ji Wuye's secret plot against the Han Wang appears rebellious and is an act of regicide, but from Ji Wuye's perspective, it is a business with a ten-thousand-fold return.
Getting rid of the Han Wang, who no longer favors him, can be exchanged for a new king who has no political acumen and relies on him for everything.
Moreover, he doesn't even have to bear the crime of regicide, because this crime was pushed onto Su Xuan and Tian Ze from the very beginning.
Even if the two of them had never done such a thing.
But in a situation where everyone believes it was their doing, whether it was or not actually makes no difference.
"It is indeed a good method!"
Su Xuan couldn't help but praise.
This matter seems sudden, without even a trace of a sign, but it is precisely because it happened suddenly that people won't overthink it, only believing it was the work of Tian Ze, who broke into the palace last night.
Tian Ze has a blood feud with Han Guo. He sent Yan Lingji to sneak into the palace and personally took Princess Honglian. Killing a Han Wang doesn't seem like something hard to understand.
After all, after reappearing in the world, he had already expressed his determination for revenge.
As for Su Xuan and Tian Ze being accomplices.
It seems incredible.
But as long as this matter spreads, even if it is unreasonable, in the imagination of some people, it will become reasonable.
Even Su Xuan himself did some brainstorming.
For example, the former Crown Prince of Baiyue, Tian Ze, liked to recruit strange people for his own use back then. Su Xuan was one of the strange people he recruited. Earlier, he approached the Han Wang with the ability to summon wind and rain, but in fact, he had other motives, all to rescue his master, Tian Ze.
He lurked beside the Han Wang for a long time, gradually gaining the Han Wang's trust, and finally found the whereabouts of his master, Tian Ze, and then rescued him. After Tian Ze appeared, he first sent Yan Lingji to sneak into the palace and cause a scene.
It seemed that Su Xuan captured Yan Lingji, but in fact, the two used this opportunity to meet and pass on certain information.
Yan Lingji surrendered, and Su Xuan spoke up to prevent the Han Wang from locking her in the dungeon—this is one of the pieces of evidence.
Later, Tian Ze personally broke into the palace and took Princess Honglian. This incident finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back, inducing certain illnesses in the Han Wang, causing him to fall completely ill and be on the verge of death.
"Reasonable and well-founded, it seems I have a talent for being a strategist!"
Su Xuan couldn't help but think.
Yan Lingji didn't know that after Su Xuan guessed Ji Wuye's purpose, he had let his imagination run wild so much. She asked Su Xuan: "What do you plan to do next?"
"Or rather, where are you going?"
The Han Wang is already in this state.
He could die at any moment.
And Su Xuan's past status relied on the Han Wang's favor. Even if Su Xuan ran to the Han Wang right now and claimed he didn't harm him, Ji Wuye would insist it was Su Xuan's doing and continue to send people to apprehend him.
In other words, Su Xuan can no longer clear his name of this frame-up.
If Su Xuan has nowhere to go, she doesn't mind introducing a place to him.
That is Tian Ze's stronghold.
"Ji Wuye threw such a frame-up on me, so naturally, I have to find a way to retaliate." Although the titles of regicide and dragon-slayer sound very nice, the key is that Su Xuan doesn't want them.
Even if he has no feelings for the Han Wang, he has indeed gained many benefits from him during this time.
If it weren't for the medicinal herbs provided by the Han Wang, his strength wouldn't have advanced so rapidly, and he wouldn't have been able to light up so many Earthly Daoist arts.
It can be said that this rich Han Wang was his financier.
Ji Wuye designed such a scene and successfully harmed his financier, which is equivalent to cutting off his source of wealth.
Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing their parents.
Ji Wuye is truly hateful!
After saying this, Su Xuan added: "As for where to go, although I usually stay in the palace and rarely go out, and I don't have any strongholds in Han Guo, I have actually thought of a temporary place to go."
Yan Lingji's words, which were on the tip of her tongue, stopped.
Since Su Xuan said he had a place to go, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to talk about introducing a place to him anymore.
"Come to think of it, you should know how to leave the palace, right!"
Su Xuan looked at Yan Lingji again.
First Yan Lingji, then Tian Ze—they both treated the palace guards as nothing and came and went as they pleased, which meant they had mastered a secret passage leading to the palace.
Yan Lingji was stunned for a moment and responded: "There is a secret passage here that can leave the palace. I thought you knew!"
Su Xuan brought her to this cold palace, and she thought Su Xuan knew there was a way out hidden here.
It seems now that it was purely a coincidence.
Under Yan Lingji's guidance, Su Xuan soon left the palace.
Although he inexplicably became a wanted criminal, not many people had seen him, which was mainly due to the fact that Su Xuan usually walked in the palace and rarely went out.
However, Yan Lingji is, after all, extremely beautiful. Taking her with him would inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.
So, Su Xuan asked Yan Lingji to cover her face, slightly concealing her stunning beauty.
This made Yan Lingji a bit depressed.
Clearly, you are the wanted criminal, the regicide. Although I'm not much better, how can I compare to your heinous crimes?
Yet you make me cover my face, while you do nothing?
With this mood.
Yan Lingji followed behind Su Xuan and finally arrived at a certain place.
Looking at the building in front, Yan Lingji was stunned.
Just looking at the decorations of this place, she knew what it was.
It was clearly a place of pleasure.
At a time like this, this guy still has the mood to visit here?
Yan Lingji didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh!
Su Xuan didn't explain anything.
He led Yan Lingji straight to the back of Purple Orchid Pavilion, and then, once again, used the wind-borrowing technique, letting the wind carry him and Yan Lingji, and they flew into Purple Orchid Pavilion with ease.
Then, he flicked his finger, and instantly, a loud boom echoed.
Such a disturbance naturally attracted the attention of the people in Purple Orchid Pavilion, especially since it happened in the backyard.
Not long after, two figures hurried over.
One was dressed in fine clothes and had white hair; it was Wei Zhuang, whom Su Xuan had met once at the entrance of Liu Yi's mansion. The other was dressed in purple tight-fitting clothes, had purple hair, exquisite features, and was filled with the charm of a mature woman.
It was the madam of Purple Orchid Pavilion, Zi Nu!
