Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Chapter 146 Dealing with the 4 Elders

Floating Light Tower.

Chu Qianyu was still discussing with Mo Yinan how to deal with the situation next.

Nan Xu walked in quickly and said, "Chief, there's news from the palace that the emperor wants you to come in later."

After hearing this, Chu Qianyu looked at Mo Yinan, a smile flashed in her eyes, and her eyebrows raised slightly, as if she was a little proud.

Mo Yinan also looked at her with a smile and said, "Sure enough, you guessed it right."

Chu Qianyu nodded and said to Nan Xu, "I understand. By the way, tell the Fourth Elder to come to Fuguang Tower. Tell him that I have something important to discuss. Also, let Ming Zixi know that I'm poisoned, and tell him that I said that the Fourth Elder could take charge of the matter instead of me. If there's nothing else, you can go down first."

"Yes, I am resigning."

After Nan Xu left, Mo Yinan said, "I'll go to the palace with you tonight."

Chu Qianyu shook her head and said, "You can go later. It won't be too late after I enter the palace. I still need your help to get rid of the people in the palace."

After the two discussed the details for a while, Mo Yinan left.

Calculating the time, the Fourth Elder should be here soon.

"Gurgle~" Chu Qianyu was thinking when her stomach growled. Half a day had passed without her realizing it and she only now felt a little hungry.

Chu Qianyu stood up and walked outside, and asked the guard beside him: "Have you prepared any meals?"

"My Lord, the food has already been prepared. If you need anything, I will arrange it right away."

"Well, let's make arrangements."

When Chu Qianyu finished her meal, the Fourth Elder just arrived. Nan Xu brought people to the front hall and then sent someone to inform her.

Chu Qianyu was not in a hurry after hearing this. After rinsing her mouth, she slowly stood up and walked towards the front hall.

When they arrived, the fourth elder stepped forward and asked, "I wonder what the clan leader wants me to discuss with you?"

"Sit down first, there's no rush." ​​Chu Qianyu waved her hand and sat down before looking at him with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"Now there are only you and the third elder left." Chu Qianyu said coldly.

The fourth elder was a little excited when he heard this. Could it be that the clan leader really wanted him to handle clan affairs first? If so, it would be easier for him to take over the position of acting clan leader in the future.

The fourth elder secretly took a deep breath, calmed his slightly impetuous mind, and then said calmly: "We all take what the second and fifth elders did as a warning. Although there are only the third elder and I now, you can rest assured that we will do our best to serve the clan."

"Well, of course I believe you. Otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to come here. I've been feeling a little uncomfortable these days, and I think it's because the poison I got from last time hasn't been completely cleared, so I want to..."

Before he could finish his words, Chu Qianyu's face suddenly turned pale, and then he coughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then he fell to the ground unconscious.

Ming Zixi also ran in from outside at this time, shouting worriedly: "Sister Yue, what's wrong with you?"

It took the Fourth Elder a while to react to this scene. After all, it was too sudden. Who could have known that the clan leader who was speaking so well just now would suddenly become like this.

After coming to his senses, he quickly stepped forward and looked at Ming Zixi and asked, "What's going on, clan leader?"

"The clan leader has been suffering from frequent attacks of poison these days. In addition, the poison from last time has not been completely cleared, so this time the poison has entered the heart meridian faster. Maybe..."

At this point, Ming Zixi leaned towards the Fourth Elder and whispered, "Maybe he's almost done."

"Really?" The fourth elder's eyes flashed with joy after hearing this, and he almost couldn't hold back his smile. If it weren't for Nan Xu and others running in at this moment, he would probably have stabbed the clan leader a few more times on the spot to make sure he was really dead, so that he could feel more at ease.

Nan Xu also squatted down and said anxiously: "Miss Ming, please take care of the clan leader first. I will go and ask the doctor to come over."

"Well, don't worry, I'm here."

After Nan Xu and the others left, Ming Zixi picked up Chu Qianyu and walked towards the dormitory, where she settled her down. At this time, there were only three of them in the dormitory.

The fourth elder took out a dagger and walked forward impatiently, ready to kill Chu Qianyu directly.

"Father! Don't be impulsive." Ming Zixi stopped the man and said.

"Now is a good opportunity. The emperor is urging her to do it urgently. She will die sooner or later anyway, so it's better to do it quickly. This way I can control Situ sooner." The fourth elder spoke in a slightly quick tone and hurried forward after he finished speaking.

Ming Zixi pulled the man back two steps and continued, "Listen to me, if you had killed the clan leader directly with a dagger, don't you think others would be suspicious of her unexplained death? And everyone knows that the clan leader asked you to come to Fuguang Tower today. By then, the third elder might also suspect you."

The fourth elder snorted coldly and said, "Even if they suspect her, so what? They have no evidence. They can just say that she was poisoned by the Gu before and couldn't bear the torture and committed suicide. How difficult is that? Get out of my way! Don't block the way!"

"Okay, since you are so persistent, then your daughter will not stop you." After Ming Zixi said this, she let go of the Fourth Elder's hand, took a step back, and made room for him.

Just as the Fourth Elder was about to approach her, Chu Qianyu opened her eyes and sneered, "What are you going to do, Fourth Elder?"

Then he waved his hand and quickly shot out the silver needle between his fingers. The fourth elder was unable to dodge and was shot directly. Chu Qianyu then slowly sat up.

It was quite interesting to see the terrified looks on the faces of the Fourth Elders.

"You...are you pretending?" The fourth elder asked in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

"What do the Fourth Elder think?" Chu Qianyu said with a smile, then looked at Ming Zixi behind him and said, "Take off the mask."

Meili responded and took off Ming Zixi's mask.

The fourth elder turned around and saw a strange face, and then he realized that he had been exposed long ago.

Thinking of this, I was ready to turn around and run away.

But Chu Qianyu and Ming Zixi just looked at him without moving. The fourth elder hadn't taken two steps when his legs softened and he sat down on the ground.

Chu Qianyu stood up and walked towards him. When she got to him, she kicked him to the ground and snorted coldly, "Run, why don't you run?"

The fourth elder moved back, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, and his voice trembled a little as he said, "What do you want to do? If you kill me here secretly, the people in the Elder Hall will definitely pursue it. You killed the second elder and the fifth elder recently, and they are already dissatisfied."

Chu Qianyu raised her eyebrows after hearing this, and said with a little disdain in her eyes: "Oh? Really? You have objections, but why haven't I heard about it? Did you instigate it privately?"

"But it doesn't matter. I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out of here alive today."

"You dare!" the fourth elder shouted loudly, as if he felt that the louder his voice was, the more confident he would be.

After the fourth elder finished shouting, her expression did not change at all. She then looked at the unfamiliar face behind her and asked, "When did you find out?"

"I don't really want to explain it to you." Chu Qianyu moved his wrist and said lazily.

That should be about right.

When he looked at the Fourth Elder again, he saw his pupils begin to dilate and he looked a little dazed. The silver needle Chu Qianyu shot at him just now was the same as the one he used on the Queen last time, but it required specific conditions, and the person's spirit must be in an extremely nervous or excited state to work.

If it wasn't for the purpose of getting him to confess quickly, she really wouldn't have bothered to act out that scene just now.
