Chapter 437…
It's not that he is so wise, but because he has no choice. If he can make up for his mistakes and live up to his loyalty, it won't be so difficult to accept even if he knows he is being used.
"There are complicated connections behind this matter, from officials to wealthy families. We are not from the court, and you are the son of a criminal. If you want to solve this matter perfectly, you still need the help of people from the court. But from what I know, his brothers are either greedy or mediocre, so they are useless."
Xia Mo talked about the current situation in detail. Just by listening to it, one could tell that the situation was very difficult. Unfortunately, Hua Chaoxue, who had calmed down, did not believe that he did not have a strategy to deal with the situation.
"So who are you looking for?"
Seeing that he was not fooled, Xia Mo smiled. Ling Chuan also looked at him twice more, but he just looked at him and continued to maintain his habit of being taciturn and did not interrupt easily.
"The idle king."
Xia Mo uttered two words softly, but Hua Chaoxue suspected for a moment that there was something wrong with her ears.
"…who?"
Knowing that he would have this reaction, Xia Mo repeated with a smile: "Prince Xian, he is the only one who can help us at the moment."
Hua Chaoxue: “…………”
Who is the Prince of Idleness? Are you sure you are not kidding him? He is a notorious sickly person in the capital, and he can hardly walk. It would be more reliable to ask him to deal with those wolves and tigers. Unless the Prince of Idleness is also a hidden talent...
A flash of inspiration came to Hua Chaoxue, and she opened her eyes slightly, as if she had suddenly realized something, and she had an idea of their identities.
"Are you the King's men?"
"No." Xia Mo felt a little regretful.
"If we were his people, why would we go through so much trouble to beat around the bush? Wouldn't it be better to just take you back directly?"
Hua Chaoxue looked at him suspiciously, then glanced at the taciturn man out of the corner of her eye, and then she didn't dwell on it anymore.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
To be able to jump around like nothing happened despite being seriously injured, he must have been lying down for a long time.
Xia Mo said truthfully: "Not long, just two or three days."
"Two or three days?" Hua Chaoxue was surprised. How could it be possible?
"I remember I was badly injured and poisoned."
"Yeah." Xia Mo started to make up stories.
"But you are lucky. I have a great doctor here. He is as good as Hua Tuo in the world. He can bring you back from the brink of death without leaving any scars."
Miracle doctor? Hua Chaoxue narrowed her eyes. No wonder he didn't feel any pain.
First the Prince of Xian was mentioned, then the miracle doctor was mentioned. Hua Chaoxue's mind was like a thread threading a needle, connecting all the things together.
"So you plan to cure King Xian first, and then let him get rid of them?"
As expected of a smart and quick-witted person, Xia Mo secretly gave him a thumbs up, but——
"You were half right."
"Half?" Hua Chaoxue was puzzled.
"For Prince Xian, what he wants most right now is probably not me, but his future princess."
Xia Mo picked up the teacup and took two sips.
"You mean Master Yu?"
"Well, I heard that he and Prince Xian are childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship. Now he is seriously ill and the situation is not good. So after careful consideration, we decided to use this as a condition and let you negotiate a deal with him."
Let him negotiate a deal with King Xian? Hua Chaoxue didn't think it was a good idea.
He frowned and said, "Why me? Apart from anything else, considering my status as a criminal, it's good enough that Prince Xian didn't report me. If I threaten him with Master Yu, I think he would chop me up, so why would he be willing to help me?"
He had finally survived, his family had not been saved, and his hatred had not been avenged, so he didn't want to die.
Xia Mo began to deceive: "You can rest assured about this. It is said in the capital that the future princess's illness is so severe that even the imperial doctors are helpless. Now you stand up and say that you can save her. Will he be reluctant to kill you?"
Hua Chaoxue: “…”
Being reluctant to kill does not mean that he will not be killed in the future. If he is to be punished later, how can he be alive?
Seeing his resistance, Xia Mo continued to persuade him, "As a condition of the deal, you can ask him to help your Hua family clear the wrongs. I believe that even if he is not willing, he will not kill a poor person like you. If things don't work out, we are still here. You don't have to worry."
When Hua Chaoxue heard the terms of the deal, she paused, "You said the condition is that Prince Xian should help my Hua family clear the wrongs?"
"Yes, your family was framed and imprisoned because they discovered their conspiracy, and you came to him for help because you were desperate. We might as well take a gamble. Judging from his attitude towards the future princess, he is not a heartless person. If this can be accomplished, it will be a win-win for both of us."
Xia Mo spoke at a steady pace, his eyes were bright, and occasionally he would meet Ling Chuan's eyes and smile unconsciously.
What can move people most is a person's personal experience, and what can make people willing to gamble is the only hope when he is in desperate situation. This is why they chose Hua Chaoxue.
As for Qiao Ruicheng, he is a loyal and ambitious man. Even though he may suspect Hua Chaoxue of having impure motives at first, he will not touch him as long as Hua Chaoxue can save Yu Shuche.
After he finds out Hua Chaoxue's background, whether he can save the Hua family is another matter, but Hua Chaoxue is an important witness, and he will certainly protect her well. After all, this is an important witness for him to bring down his opponent.
And at that time, they can reveal the conspiracies of the Cangxuan countries to Qiao Ruicheng one by one through Hua Chaoxue.
"What a win-win situation!" Hua Chaoxue was convinced and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.
He asked: "How confident are you that you can cure Master Yu's illness?"
"You agree?"
"I'm willing to give it a try."
Hua Chaoxue's eyes were determined. The reason why he made up his mind so quickly was because their plan was too thorough.
Therefore, even if they did not say it explicitly, they all revealed an important message - that is, King Xian is not a simple person.
After reaching a consensus, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan told Yu Shuche that he was not sick but was poisoned by a poison.
They were 100% sure, but the atmosphere in Prince Xian's Mansion seemed to be more solemn than usual these days, so they had to go and check it out again.
If this changes, they will take a long-term view and find another solution.
Hua Chaoxue heard this and thought to herself, As expected, they had indeed investigated King Xian.
He said he was willing to be assigned the task, but before that he hoped someone could do him a favor and he wanted to know about his family's situation.
Xia Mo and Ling Chuan understood his feelings and agreed without hesitation.
At this moment, the chess piece has been fooled back by them. As for when to make the move, they still have to find the right time.
After all, there is no regret in making a move. It is true that they used Hua Chaoxue, but apart from ensuring the success of the plan, they cannot really disregard human lives and let others be cannon fodder.
It was a cool night. After asking Yingying Xian about the layout of Prince Xian's mansion, the couple went in person and sneaked into the mansion to find out what was going on.
Because they had space, the two easily avoided the eyes and ears of the palace and found the courtyard where Yu Shuche lived.
I don’t know whether to say that they came at the right time or the wrong time, as they just happened to run into Yu Shuche when the poison had broken out.
The lights in the yard were bright, Qiao Ruicheng and Xie Yu were both there. It was obviously a perfect opportunity to eavesdrop, but it was difficult to get close.
