Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu-Chapter 145: Yundi’s plan_1

"Young Master Chu, you’ve been to the Xing Luo Imperial Palace!"

Zhu Yundi was even more shocked. It was known that because of the Evil Eye Holy King, any Soul Master without the white tiger Martial Soul was no more than a mortal entering the palace!

Therefore, since the founding of the Xingluo Empire, no one who had ever intruded had come out alive!

But not only had Chu Qin come out, the people of the Xing Luo Imperial Palace hadn’t detected a thing, which could not help but shock Zhu Yundi.

However, being someone accustomed to handling major affairs, Zhu Yundi quickly calmed down and continued, "Yes! As Young Master Chu said, Dai Zhantian was once a Titled Douluo, but now he’s gravely injured, retaining merely a tenth of his strength. Moreover, the guards of the Xingluo Empire are all personally trained by Dai Zhantian himself, therefore it’s absolutely impossible to drive a wedge between them!"

"That’s why we can’t use force!" Chu Qin nodded with a smile.

"Young Master Chu, what’s your plan?" Zhu Yundi asked.

"Poison!" Chu Qin replied calmly.

"Poison?" Zhu Yundi frowned, "Young Master Chu, I’m afraid that won’t work! Dai Zhantian’s daily meals are strictly monitored by the imperial palace physicians and a Soul Douluo doctor! Any poison would be detected immediately!"

"Poison can be detected," Chu Qin replied, "but I never said to use poison! Use Spirit Grass!"

"Spirit Grass?" Zhu Yundi was utterly confused.

"Yes! I know that Dai Zhantian is taking a medicine called Dragon’s Beard Spirit Grass," Chu Qin nodded, "You just need to mix the other type of Spirit Grass powder I’ve prepared into a porridge for him to drink or add it into his food! Those doctors won’t be able to detect it!"

"What kind of Spirit Grass?" Zhu Yundi pressed.

Chu Qin smiled faintly, "This Spirit Grass, it looks just like any ordinary medicine! However, when it’s mixed with Dragon’s Beard Spirit Grass, it becomes a lethal substance! But, it’s probably not recorded on Soul Land."

"Ah!" Zhu Yundi’s eyebrows furrowed, "Then Young Master Chu, how do you know about this?"

"Of course, from the Mystic Sky Records!" Chu Qin thought to himself.

Let’s not forget that during his Goddess Mission, he had acquired the Mystic Sky Records! He had researched and found that a common Spirit Grass, when mixed with Dragon’s Beard Grass, could produce deadly poison!

Chu Qin’s line of thinking was similar to the complex toxin that Qian Renxue had given to Xue Ye.

However, Chu Qin’s method was clearly simpler since he knew in advance that Dai Zhantian needed a large amount of Dragon’s Beard Spirit Grass to prolong his life!

"I understand!" Zhu Yundi pondered for a moment and then nodded as if she had realized something.

"What concerns me," Chu Qin continued, "is that after I kill Davis, Dai Zhantian will surely suspect you! It’s unlikely that Dai Zhantian will let you near him so easily!"

"Don’t worry about that, Young Master Chu!" Zhu Yundi said with a slight smile, "I’ve already thought of a strategy, Dai Zhantian won’t suspect me!"

"Let’s hear it!" Chu Qin said with interest.

"Firstly, I will make good use of the pawn Cai Er, so that Dai Zhantian won’t suspect me," Zhu Yundi slowly divulged her plan, "Besides, Davis has a younger brother named Dai Mubai, who has long wanted to remove Davis and inherit the throne! I can pin Davis’s death on Dai Mubai. According to the peculiar rules of the Xing Lu Royal Family, Dai Zhantian will not pursue Dai Mubai’s responsibility but will instead wait for them to fight each other to the death!"

After hearing Zhu Yundi’s plan, Chu Qin thought for a moment before nodding slightly in amazement.

He thought that this Zhu Yundi truly deserved to be an empress, her methods far beyond those of ordinary women.

"To be an empress indeed!" Chu Qin exclaimed softly.

"Not at all!" Zhu Yundi smiled modestly, "If it weren’t for Young Master Chu’s Spirit Grass, I might not be able to kill Dai Zhantian in ten years!"

"Very well, then it’s settled!" Chu Qin said to Zhu Yundi.

"Yes, Young Master Chu, just leave the Spirit Grass to me with confidence!" Zhu Yundi nodded, "Within seven days, I will surely eliminate Dai Zhantian!"

"Then here’s to our pleasant collaboration!" Chu Qin replied with a smile.

"Hmm," Zhu Yundi nodded lightly.

"Wait, Young Master Chu, do you have a better way to control Cai Er?" Zhu Yundi asked.

"As a matter of fact, I do!" Chu Qin replied with a smile.

Following that, Chu Qin arranged for people to escort Zhu Yundi back to the imperial palace, while he himself led Ning Rongrong to obtain her fifth soul ring and then returned to the Douluo Hall Holy Hall.

The next day, in the Xingluo Imperial Palace, the Empress Dowager’s great hall.

"Cai Er, do you remember what I told you?" Zhu Yundi spoke with full authority, her back facing Cai Er who knelt on the ground, "Never mind that the poison Young Master Chu planted inside you will make you bleed from all orifices and your intestines rupture out of your belly, dying a horrible death. If you dare to speak nonsense in front of Zhantian, I will not spare a single one of your relatives or your clan!"

"Yes," Cai Er replied, trembling with utmost respect.

"Go!" Zhu Yundi said without turning back.

With that, Cai Er bowed and retreated backward.

Before long, a man with a head full of blonde hair and heterochromatic eyes walked into the hall from outside. This man was none other than Dai Mubai.

"Empress Dowager, you were looking for me?"

Dai Mubai’s gaze slightly condensed as he spoke with a neutral tone. He was curious about what Zhu Yundi wanted from him!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yundi turned around and spoke unhurriedly, "Dai Mubai, your elder brother is dead!"

"What!" Dai Mubai’s expression changed dramatically upon hearing this news! He looked shocked, but also fearful, and there seemed to be a hint of joy as well.

"My, my elder brother, Davis, is dead?"

Dai Mubai stammered.

"Indeed," Zhu Yundi replied calmly.

"That’s impossible! How did he die? Who killed him?" Dai Mubai pressed on.

"That’s not for you to ask!" Zhu Yundi said with a steady gaze, "Dai Mubai, with your elder brother gone, you are now the sole heir to the throne!"

Upon hearing this, a trace of joy flickered in Dai Mubai’s heart!

Over the years, his older brother had eradicated many of his siblings, and the endless assassinations against him forced him to flee to the Tiandou Empire.

Now, with Davis dead, he certainly had reason to be pleased!

However, Dai Mubai felt that there was likely more to this affair than met the eye.

Just as Dai Mubai was about to speak, Zhu Yundi preemptively said, "Don’t guess anymore, I killed him!"

"What!" Dai Mubai’s pupils shrank, then he asked in astonishment, "Empress Dowager, why did you kill my elder brother?"

"How can you be so foolish?" Zhu Yundi replied with a faint smile, "I’ve already said, it doesn’t matter who killed him!"

"Then what’s important?" Dai Mubai asked, a mix of confusion and a hint of excitement in his voice.

"I just told you! With the death of Davis, you are the sole heir to the throne," Zhu Yundi continued, "That is to say, with Davis dead, whether or not it has anything to do with you, your father will soon grow suspicious of you!"

"Then, then what..." Dai Mubai frowned as he spoke.

"What your father cannot tolerate the most are those who skulk in the shadows, those who are vile and venomous. If he comes to believe you are such a person, there’s no telling what he might do," Zhu Yundi went on, "Therefore, you should go and confess to your father! Perhaps, he might show mercy. After all, that’s the way of your family’s system!"
