stand back, let me come

Chapter 1210: Join the Game with Yourself [ask for monthly ticket]

"When...why are you still..."

When Cui Hui regained consciousness, she vaguely heard someone talking beside her, but the voice was very low and intermittent, so she couldn't hear it clearly. She tried to listen clearly, but the voice stopped talking again, and the world returned to silence.

In the dim light, she seemed to see the sunlight coming in through the window.

She subconsciously judged the time.

When she regained consciousness, the golden light that came through the window was no longer mottled, but the bright moonlight. She realized later that there was a figure sitting on the side of the bed: "Zhishan..."

The voice was as light as a mosquito's whisper. Fortunately, the man had excellent hearing, otherwise he would not have noticed it: "Ms. Cui has recognized the wrong person."

This person's voice has a frivolous tone.

Cui Hui suddenly woke up: "You——"

The man raised his hand and lightly pressed Cui Hui's shoulder, saying slowly: "You are still too weak, you can't make any big movements."

Cui Hui didn't care about that: "How did you get in?"

Don't you die?

  What if Cui Zhishan finds out?

The man smiled, and under the candlelight, he looked even more frivolous than a lecher, as if he would pounce on her and flirt with her in the next second. In a nutshell, he was not a serious person: "What are you afraid of? Liao dared to come here to meet the lady, so I was sure that I would not let your husband know."

What he said had an even stronger immoral implication.

Cui Hui's mouth twitched twice, but she couldn't bear it anymore and looked away. It was because Liao Jia's face aroused her desire to enforce justice and punish evil. "That's too risky. Cui Zhishan is much smarter and more vigilant than you think."

This time, she is dragging the entire Cui family into the water.

In disguise, she forced Cui Zhi to choose between her and his family.

Liao Jia smiled meaningfully.

"Ms. Cui underestimated her own power. Little did she know that even a hero cannot resist the temptation of beauty. Even the most shrewd and vigilant old fox is helpless when facing emotions. He cannot win. Even if he knows it is a beauty trap, he will still lose."

Cui Zhishan is a typical example.

How could he not know that there was something fishy behind Cui Hui's return?

It's just that his married life after a breakup in the past two years has made him comfort and make amends to himself over and over again, which has made him become biased a little bit.

What's more, Cui Hui had indeed not taken any action before.

Cui Hui said stubbornly: "Beauty pass? I am a middle-aged woman?"

In her understanding, she had some weight in the heart of the Cui family master, but not that much compared to the family. The bargaining chips in Cui Hui's hand were the former mistress of the Cui family and the biological mother of the next Cui family master. For this status, the Cui family would not let her be humiliated. However, nothing is absolute. If the loss is greater than the bargaining chips, the Cui family will give up Cui Xiong, and Cui Hui can also be given up.

As long as the next clan leader is not Cui Xiong, all the chips will be invalid.

Therefore, when she was in prison, she was not sure that Cui Zhi would come, nor was she sure that he would break up with Mei Meng for her.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Why should Miss Cui belittle herself?"

In this relationship, the head of the Cui family is the passive party.

At this point, Liao Jia couldn't help but joked: "You were unconscious for three days and four nights after returning from prison. If it weren't for some things that couldn't be delayed any longer, the person you saw when you opened your eyes should be him..."

Cui Hui was surprised: "So long?"

"You almost didn't wake up."

Cui Zhi looked visibly haggard these days.

More than a dozen famous doctors came to the palace but were helpless. Cui Zhi could only use the connections of the Southwest Branch of the Gods Society to seek medical practitioners from the territory to treat Cui Hui. The Southwest Continent is different from the Northwest. The Kangguo Medical Bureau will provide a lot of help to folk doctors, summarize the key points of the Medical Temple assessment and share them free of charge, and regularly publish the medical records of the masters. In this environment, the number of medical practitioners from the territory has increased year by year, while there is nothing here.

The healer enters the temple solely on his own.

With so few people, it is even more difficult to hire people.

Even the Cui family could hardly find a doctor to save the patient in just a few days, and even if they did, it might not work. Cui Zhi was almost desperate and once placed his hope on the illusory gods and Buddhas.

Cui Hui's expression was moved: "He also went to burn incense and worship Buddha?"

Liao Jia said: "Yes, but gods and Buddhas cannot save people."

The one who could save people was the backup plan he arranged.

The doctor Xinglin, who traveled around as a barefoot doctor, was not affiliated with any power and devoted himself to curing diseases and saving lives. Cui paid a huge price to invite him, but no one could have imagined that this doctor Xinglin was prepared for Cui Hui alone.

Thinking of the diagnosis made by Doctor Xinglin, Liao Jia was a little scared at this moment. He thanked his luck and said, "This time it was too risky. You almost... If anything happened to you, let alone the Lord, your father Cui Xiao would fight me to the death..."

Mei Meng never thought of punishing Cui Hui.

By torturing a woman, one can restrain and force back the power of the aristocratic family headed by the Cui family. Not to mention whether this is feasible or not, even if it really works, someone as arrogant as Mei Jinghe would not do it.

  So why did it happen again?

Because Cui Hui directed and acted in the film himself.

Unlike Liao Jia who was scared, Cui Hui, the person involved, was calm: "If you don't put yourself in the game, how can you win even half a move?"

Her bargaining chip is herself.

He is both a chess piece and a chess player.

She took the initiative to conspire with Liao Jia.

Liao Jia has been secretly sowing discord and stirring up trouble over the years.

It was also his unremitting efforts that caused the originally harmonious and strong relationship between King Mei Jinghe and his minister to gradually become estranged. In addition, Miao Ne, a beautiful and eloquent woman, mindlessly supported the king's position and quietly flirted with Mei Meng - when Mei Meng dared to speak the truth, she would fawn on her to gain his favor, and her every word and action adhered to the persona of "the king's crazy fan" - working together from both inside and outside, she gradually tempted the king to be dissatisfied with Mei Meng.

From a little dissatisfaction to questioning, from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Although Mei Meng was aware of it, she was still unable to catch Liao Jia.

In addition, conflicts between the king, Mei Meng and the aristocratic families are becoming more frequent. In the past, the king and Mei Meng were in the same camp, and the two sides cooperated to restrain the aristocratic families to achieve a balance. The two sides constantly adjusted, compromised and cooperated in the conflict. The task of Cui Hui, Miao Ne, Liao Jia and others is to break the delicate balance between the three parties.

He alienated Mei Meng from the king and pushed the king to the camp of the aristocratic families.

Mei Meng lost his allies and was the first to be eliminated!

The rest is much easier to clean up.

The power of the king alone would certainly not be able to suppress the aristocratic families, so she would have to rely more on the camp of foreign relatives, that is, Miao Ne.

In this way, Miao Ne had the possibility to completely replace Mei Meng.

To achieve this ideal situation, we are still missing a fire.

Cui Hui helped light it up!

[Taking advantage of others’ preferences] is really a powerful weapon to manipulate people’s hearts.

This weapon can also be used to easily forge tokens and falsely convey orders.

Finally, the evidence was destroyed. How could Mei Meng prove that she did not instigate the torture of Cui Hui? Even if she had mouths all over her body, she couldn't explain it clearly!

It is true that life hangs by a thread, and it is true that one cannot practice.

Who dares to gamble with the life of the former mistress of the Cui family, who is protected by Cui Zhi?

No one dared, except Cui Hui himself.

"Father, my brother and I are also mother's pawns?"

A third person's voice was heard in the room. Cui Hui's expression changed slightly, and her heartbeat instantly increased. After seeing the identity of the person, she quickly calmed down again - the person was Cui Mi, not Cui Xiong, so there was no need to panic. She calmly admitted: "Yes."

The Cui Mi in front of us ran back secretly.

He received news that the capital of the Qi Kingdom had changed and his biological mother Cui Hui had been arrested and imprisoned. He saw a chaotic future and felt anxious. He left a letter to Shen Tang to ask for leave, and rushed back day and night without disturbing anyone along the way.

Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived, he heard Cui Hui admitting all his calculations in person. Even though he was mentally prepared, his heart was still in a mess.

There was a hint of resentment in the tone.

"Has mother got what she wanted now?"

Cui Hui shook his head slightly: "The outcome is still undecided."

The outcome is undecided, which means there are still many variables.

Cui Mi asked: "How can the universe be determined?"

Cui Hui said something shocking: "Wait for the king to win her over and bribe her."

Cui Mi: “…”

When it comes to courage, his mother is second to none.

Although Cui Hui did not mention any name, Cui Mi could tell that the "she" his mother was referring to was Shen Tang alias Shen Zhongli.

Cui Hui wants to trick the king into winning over Shen Tang.

  Isn't this outrageous?

But you know what, this plan is actually feasible!

Mei Meng was eliminated and the king turned to the aristocratic family camp, but that didn't mean that he was willing to be a puppet in the hands of the aristocratic family. The king used Miao Ne, a trusted relative, to gather military power and win over military generals to check and balance the aristocratic family. To make this move, the candidates for winning over must be carefully selected.

  Shen Tang’s alias in Qi State fits the bill so well!

No one except Cui Zhi knew the relationship between "Shen Zhongli" and Kang Guoqishan. On the surface, it was Cui Hui who showed favor to "Shen Zhongli" and gave her the opportunity to realize her ambitions. Although Cui provided the land, it was a mess for her to settle.

It would be better to say that it is making things difficult for you rather than doing you a favor.

Compared with Cui, "Shen Zhongli" is closer to Cui Hui.

Cui Hui is Miao Ne's future mother-in-law.

As a woman, will she trust her ex-husband who has already divorced her more, or will she be more partial to the piece of flesh that has fallen from her body? From the perspective of the secular world, Cui Hui's choice is almost predictable. The biggest flaw in this plan lies in Cui Zhi. Once he takes the initiative to betray Cui Hui and reveals the truth about "Shen Zhongli", Cui Hui will lose everything.

  Would Cui Zhi do this?

He wouldn't do that, and he would even help to conceal it! She was extremely certain of this when he showed up at the prison and took Cui Hui out.

Cui Hui’s plan may not be a fantasy.

Cui Mi figured out the key point and lowered his head.

Looking at the future that has been completely settled, my restless and flustered heart gradually calmed down: "I hope my mother has made every possible plan."

Cui Hui warned her youngest son with a squinted eye.

"Er Mi, don't say anything you shouldn't." She and Cui Zhi were not an ordinary couple. If Cui Mi dared to tell on the secret today, one of his parents would have to die. A smart child would pretend to know nothing, instead of being smart. "Do you understand?"

Cui Mi curled his lips and said, "My son knows."

Cui Hui's life was saved, but the mental damage still required long-term rest to compensate, so Cui Mi and the others could not disturb him for long.

He and Liao Jia left one after another.

"Thank you sir!"

Cui Mi Chongliao Jia bowed deeply.

In the many chaotic futures he saw, his mother Cui Hui did not always survive. Even if her death did not affect the final outcome, Cui Mi still greedily hoped that the family could be reunited - why should they settle for incompleteness when they can be complete?

Liao Jia couldn't stay here for long.

Before leaving, he asked suddenly.

"If Lady Cui dies this time, what bad consequences will there be?"

Cui Mi's heart suddenly jumped, and he pretended to be dumbfounded. Liao Jia made a feint, as if it was not a test but a casual question: "It's always a good thing that the person is still alive."

Liao Jia came quietly and left quietly.

As Cui Hui woke up, Cui Mi also saw his father's temples were covered with white hair. He looked much more haggard in just a few days. This kind of change was almost impossible for a scholar with a relatively deep cultivation. Cui Mi's eyes turned red.

"The son has met his father."

Cui Zhi was a little surprised that his youngest son would come.

"Have you met your mother?"

"Well, mother just woke up. Although she seems to be in good spirits and even talked a lot to her son, she is an ordinary person after all. She must have been seriously injured this time. I don't know how long it will take for her to recover." Cui Mi stammered, "I'm afraid it will shorten her lifespan..."

The last sentence made Cui Zhi silent for a long time.

I kept thinking about the doctor's advice.

[Your Madam had been toiling away from home in her early years, and her body was seriously ill, which had a certain impact on her life span. Now she has been tortured by many spirits, and her spirit has suffered a great deal. This time she was fortunately rescued, and she will need to be carefully taken care of in the future...]

[Are there any hidden dangers? ]

The doctor Xinglin told the truth.

Euphemistically said: [The Cui family is mentally prepared. ]

A scholar of literary talent or a warrior of martial spirit would be seriously injured and bedridden for several years, let alone Cui Hui, whose children have already been arranged to marry. At her age, she is not considered young in a chaotic world. Cui Zhi suppressed his emotions: [Is it possible to save her?]

[If Madam can practice, perhaps she can get rid of her chronic illness and be reborn... After all, she has a solid foundation.] The advice provided by the Xinglin doctor is simple and crude but effective, but also difficult. This cannot be achieved by having enough national luck.

The doctors in Xinglin understand it, and Cui Zhi understands it even better.

  He also knew that there was one exception!

Mei Meng, Mei Jinghe!

Cui Zhi and Mei Meng had just fallen out, so naturally he couldn't go to the other party for advice. Even if he didn't go to the other party, he still had a way to figure out the situation - Mei Meng was the deputy director of the Southwest Branch, and she was thoroughly investigated by the branch before she joined the club. Her life experience, except for the relatively brief record of her early years in Xiaocheng in the northwest, was much more detailed when she followed her brother to the southwest mainland...

Cui Zhi went to check this information overnight.

The results were unsatisfactory.

Because Mei Jinghe had set about destroying and disposing of all the information related to himself as soon as he became the deputy director. Even if some of the information remained, it was probably nine out of ten true and one out of ten false, or it was vague. Cui Zhi did not dare to try rashly.

"Your mother's affairs are your father's own. You just need to do your own things. As for Shen Zhongli..." Cui Zhi paused, and then he thought about it. "Your mother has suffered such injustice this time. The king should have some response..."

Cui Mi's scalp suddenly felt numb.

He still pretended to be stupid: "To make up for mother? Cui's family is big and powerful, they have all kinds of good things, who cares about her flattery."

Cui Zhi did not rebuke him lightly or severely.

"Second Moose, don't say anything you shouldn't say."

If Mei Meng couldn't break through, she could only start with the king. Mei Jinghe was on guard against so many people, but none of them could defend against her.

Cui Mi: “…”

What if you two are husband and wife?

It’s just that!
