Dragon Soul Heroes - Chapter 16: Casting the Net to Capture Evil

Wei Xuexin pondered for a moment, then felt her cheeks burning. Afraid that Long Hui would see through her thoughts, she quickly finished her breakfast and casually made up an excuse: "Big brother, I need to go talk to Mother about something. Please enjoy your meal!"
Long Hui had no idea about the girl's complicated thoughts. Last night, Sister Luo had made her suffer terribly, and her stomach was empty. She buried her head and wolfed down her food like a starving ghost.
Bai Lingyu and Yu Wuhen ate a few bites and were full. Before leaving their seats, Bai Lingyu specifically reminded Long Hui not to forget to go to the palace tonight.
After filling my stomach, I need to catch up on some sleep. Last night, that vixen left me feeling weak all over. If I weren't physically strong, I probably wouldn't even be able to get out of bed. So now I need to make the most of this time to rest.
As soon as he returned to the house, he saw a beautiful woman in a green dress looking up expectantly, her eyes full of affection, her cheeks flushed with spring, and her lips glistening with dew, like a lonely housewife waiting for her lover.
Long Hui was both amazed and exasperated. Why did these two sisters like to hide in other people's rooms so much? Fortunately, her senior sister left early, otherwise her residence would have been torn down by this pair of phoenixes.
As soon as Lu Mingluan saw Long Hui enter, she went straight to the point: "Yu Hua is dead."
Long Hui trembled slightly and asked, "How...how did she die?"
Lu Mingluan sighed, "I was killed by the Haotian Sect at midnight last night, but it doesn't matter. I can still use Asura to spy on their inside story."
Long Hui asked, "Mingluan, has the Haotian Sect made any moves?"
Lu Mingluan said, "Last night, Asura was still guarding the waterway. At midnight, a woman came in and sprinkled some powder on Yu Hua. Yu Hua bled from all seven orifices and died. After that, the woman jumped into the pool. As for which waterway she took, I don't know."
Long Hui frowned and said, "The woman who used the poison should be one of the eight tribes, the Gandharva. The Haotian Sect is indeed plotting to usurp the throne."
Lu Mingluan asked, "How is Huangfu Wuji doing now?"
Long Hui shook his head and said, "It's not good. First, Consort Bai was exonerated, then the Empress committed suicide, and finally Prince Qi rebelled. Moreover, he himself has hidden dangers and his true energy is unbalanced. With these internal and external troubles being added to him at the same time, I'm afraid the situation is not good."
Lu Mingluan was slightly taken aback and said, "Is the true energy imbalance... Could it be that Huangfu Wuji has reached the limit of the acquired realm and is facing a life-or-death crisis?"
Long Hui nodded and said, "That's how it is."
Suddenly, he stared intently at Lu Mingluan and asked nervously, "Mingluan, have you also reached the peak of the acquired realm?" Seeing his concern for her, Lu Mingluan was overjoyed and nodded with a smile.
Long Hui hurriedly pulled her down to sit, and placed three fingers on her smooth, fair wrist to check her internal energy level. The result did not alarm him.
Lu Mingluan smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. I have already condensed my inner energy, so there is no problem with my true energy being complicated and out of control."
Long Hui breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Mingluan, now that you have condensed your inner energy, why haven't you broken through to the Innate Realm yet?"
A trace of pain flashed in Lu Mingluan's eyes as she sighed, "Back then, I was ambushed by Luo Qingyan. In order to escape, I used a method that damaged my foundation to reverse my true essence, which injured my middle dantian and sea of qi, and I have not recovered to this day. No matter how much I condense my inner essence, as long as I run it to the middle dantian, my true qi will stagnate. Therefore, I have never been able to unblock my true qi throughout my body, and thus I am destined to be forever separated from the innate realm."
Long Hui asked curiously, "What is the reason for this?"
Lu Mingluan said, "To enter the innate realm from the acquired realm, one must first accumulate profound internal strength, and then go through the tribulation of life and death. Cultivators use the tribulation of the tribulation to cleanse their body and mind, re-temper their complex true qi, and then unify their qi to enter the innate realm. Because I injured my middle dantian, my body became incomplete, and my martial arts were reduced by more than half. However, I was unwilling to give up my cultivation, so I took another approach, skipped the tribulation of life and death, directly condensed true qi, and changed the circulation of qi so that true qi did not have to flow through the middle dantian. It can be said that my current true qi is innate true qi, but because my middle dantian is damaged, my qi cannot be integrated, so I have been stuck in this half-acquired and half-innate realm."
Long Hui frowned and said, "As long as you can repair the long-standing injury to the middle dantian, can you enter the innate realm?" Lu Mingluan smiled and sighed, "That makes sense, but damage to the meridians and acupoints is not like damage to muscles, bones, and flesh. Many injuries are incurable for a lifetime."
Long Hui casually remarked, "Meridian damage isn't necessarily incurable. I once had all my meridians ruptured, but I'm still perfectly healthy and active!"
As if seeing a glimmer of hope, Lu Mingluan hurriedly asked, "Yes, I remember you were seriously injured by Luo Qingyan several times, but you were fine afterwards. Do you have some kind of secret?"
Long Hui was speechless. He couldn't very well tell Lu Mingluan that all of this was actually the result of dual cultivation between men and women. First of all, if he proposed the method of dual cultivation, given Lu Mingluan's proud and fastidious nature, she would most likely see him as a shameless scoundrel. Secondly, even if the two of them did engage in dual cultivation, Long Hui dared not say that he could only reach the core of the Qi Sea. After all, the healing of the meridians was due to the assistance of the Xuan Yin Mei Ti, and from beginning to end, Long Hui was the one who healed himself. Even when he was intimate with his other wives and concubines, it only made their Qi more vigorous and their spirits better. He really had no confidence in treating Lu Mingluan's old injury to this acupoint.
"Although Lianyi's meridians and internal organs were also burned by the Light Karmic Fire last time, it was a fresh injury and was easier to recover from."
Long Hui pondered to himself, "Ming Luan has been suffering from this illness for at least ten years. Unlike Bing'er, she doesn't have pure Yin energy. I wonder if it can be cured."
Long Hui's Yin-Yang dual cultivation is actually a Yin-Yang cycle. The longer this cycle is maintained, the better the effect. Under heaven, only Long Hui and the two phoenixes can form an effective and lasting Yin-Yang cycle. Although Lu Mingluan is a virgin and has great power, her primordial Yin energy is probably not sustainable. She may be unable to continue the cycle after half of the dual cultivation.
In general, the dual cultivation of Yin and Yang is actually a process of mutual absorption. If Yang is strong and Yin is weak, then the man will benefit more. Conversely, if Yin is strong and Yang is weak, then the woman will have the greater advantage.
Lu Mingluan, quick-witted and perceptive, noticed Long Hui's unspeakable secret and said with a slightly flushed face, "Is your method of recovery a little embarrassing to talk about?"
Long Hui smiled awkwardly and simply stated, "It's actually just male-female dual cultivation."
Lu Mingluan lowered her head, half-closing her starry eyes. A layer of rouge was applied to her neck and ears, making her look delicate and alluring. She pursed her red lips and uttered two words in a soft whisper: "Bad guy!"
A wave of heat slowly rose, baking the delicate, smooth skin.
Upon seeing the beautiful woman's charming and shy demeanor again, Long Hui's heart fluttered. He thought to himself that these two phoenix sisters were both blessed with unique advantages. The elder sister was alluring and smooth, like a ripe peach with fresh, juicy flesh, sweet and delicious. The younger sister was charming yet shy, like a green and red apple, possessing both the mature wisdom accumulated over the years and the shy innocence of a virgin.
Long Hui held Lu Mingluan's soft hand and said, "Mingluan, let me take a look at your old wound first."
Old wound? Lu Mingluan's face was like a big red veil. Long Hui also realized his mistake. The position of Zhongdan is Tanzhong, which is located between the breasts on the chest.
Lu Mingluan felt that Long Hui's gaze was like a raging fire. With each glance, her body grew hotter. The scene of Baisha Plain inexplicably appeared in her mind. It was this annoying enemy who forcibly took her bodice and tore it off, leaving her two crystal-clear and full breasts exposed to the wind, feeling cool and dry... But every time she woke up in the middle of the night, she felt a burning sensation in her chest, and a faint heat and dampness arose.
"I still need to keep an eye on Ashura. I'll come find you if anything comes up!"
Lu Mingluan ran out without looking back.
With the grand ancestral worship ceremony drawing ever closer, the palace was a hive of activity as everyone worked to repair the damage caused by the rebellion of Prince Qi. Palace maids and eunuchs performed their duties, washing away bloodstains and collecting corpses, determined to restore the palace to its former glory in the shortest possible time.
龙辉和白翎羽按照皇甫武吉的指示扮作太监入宫，确定没有眼线跟踪后这才转身潜入紫薇宫。
入得宫内，在王公公的带领下进入一间密室。
密室周围镶嵌着夜明珠，将室内映照得犹如白昼，皇甫武吉端坐其中。
龙辉和白翎羽依次行礼，皇甫武吉做了个免礼的手势，命王公公给他们两递来一份卷宗，说道：“这是朝廷密探收集的情报，你们先看一下！”
这些情报其实都是经过专人的整理和收集，龙辉看后不禁暗自吃惊，原来昊天教谋算之深已经超过了一般人的想象。
三十年前铁壁关大帅铁如山无故染上重病，不得卸任回乡养病，就在他离任不久铁烈便攻破了铁壁关，铁烈入关之时恰逢雨季，说这种季节对于游牧民族的骑兵极为不利，只要勤王大军一到，绝对可以让铁烈全军覆没，但偏偏就在这个时候赤水河竟然决堤，洪水泛滥，阻断了各路勤王大军……龙辉蹙眉道：“这种种巧合连在一起便不再是巧合，这背后深意值得推敲”皇甫武吉道：“没错！当时洪水虽大，但也只是阻断东南两面的援军，对于西面根本没有影响。偏偏在那个时候，西域诸国竟然造反，西域军不得不留守镇压，使得帝都孤立无援。”
龙辉道：“听皇上所言，这些年来的诸般大事背后多少有些昊天教的影子，那皇上准备如何收拾昊天教？”
皇甫武吉道：“早在十五年前苏贵妃入宫之时，朕便感她有问题，但一直找不出证据，直到白妃出事后，狐狸尾巴才露出来。”
白翎羽听到白妃二字，心一下子便悬了起来，沉声问道：“当年的事究竟还有什么隐情我是不知道的！”
皇甫武吉叹道：“翎羽，你母妃之事其实并非父皇能控制的。父皇承认当初是要削除白宫两家的实力，但未想过要赶尽杀绝，原本只是革职抄家便可，谁料，周皇后不知从哪找来了一批人，手段毒辣凶残，假扮成侍卫将两家之人尽数杀死。”
白翎羽怒道：“你是皇帝，难道就阻止不了吗！”
皇甫武吉苦笑道：“若是今天的朕绝对可以阻止，可是十五年前朕的权力被内阁削弱到了极点，基本只是一个名义上的皇帝罢了。”
龙辉怕他们父女又吵起来，急忙打圆场道：“皇上，那您准备怎么对付苏贵妃，其实她也就是昊天圣母。”
皇甫武吉点点头道：“原本朕只是怀疑她的来历，可是刚一平息叛兵后，翎羽你将事情原委托出，朕便想通了许多事，所以朕敢断定祭祖当日便是沧释天造反之时！”
白翎羽道：“你知道沧释天在何地，现在又是何人吗？”
皇甫武吉摇头道：“不知，但沧释天会自己跳出来。皇室族规，任何皇室成员只要还活着，就算抬也要抬到祖宗墓前，若沧释天不采取措施，到了那一天昊天圣母定会被朕识破，所以他一定会赶在朕到达祖墓之前下手！”
龙辉道：“皇上，前些日子微臣曾无意探知享誉京师的飞絮酒楼乃昊天教之暗桩！”
皇甫武吉脸色一沉，哦了一声道：“竟有此事？”
龙辉道：“确实如此，而且酒楼地下乃是连接地底暗河，更有三条河道暗中捅入皇宫，其出口分别在御花园水池、明锒宫水池以及华灯宫水井。”
皇甫武吉缓缓阖上双目，静思片刻，说道：“能修建这般好大的工程而瞒过朕的耳目，此人要么就是权势滔天，要么就是默默无闻。王公公，宣无影！”
王公公接旨立即掉头宣召，过了片刻一名满脸蜡黄的中年妇女走入，无论相貌和气质皆是极为平庸，但也只有这种不出众的人才好执行一些机密任务。
那个叫做无影的女子叩拜行礼，皇甫武吉道：“无影，朕要你一天内查出飞絮酒楼的幕后东主！”
无影不发多余言语，拱手接旨后便退了下去。
龙辉心知这个无影十有八九便是皇帝身边的首席密探，想必也只有这种貌不惊人的探子才能更好的收集情报，毕竟她不像涟漪那般修有变幻之术，可是她也有涟漪不具备的优势，那就是势力，这名妇人身后就是朝廷的支持，她可以动用庞大的人力物力来找寻所需情报。
“皇上，微臣在面圣前，内子曾告之昊天教的乾闼婆已经从水道悄悄潜进宫来。”
龙辉又将从鹭眀鸾口中得知的信息告知，但却是用魏雪芯的名号，毕竟天剑谷来头大得很，探查到一些皇帝不知道的事情也意外。
皇甫武吉脸色又凝重了几分，说道：“传闻此女最擅长使毒，莫非沧释天是想毒害朕？这法子也略显老套了吧！”
龙辉道：“皇上，往往越是陈旧老套的阴谋越是有效，皇上不得不防啊！”
皇甫武吉朝王公公打了个手势，王公公点头道：“奴才立即加派试食太监，保证皇上的一切饮食安全。”
龙辉摆手道：“皇上，微臣有一言，恐怕单凭试毒太监也难保证皇上的安全。这些混毒高手可以通过各种各样的引子来激发毒性，甚至这些引子千奇百怪，可能是花香、可能是粉尘……就连衣服的料子这些极为平常之物都可能是引子，这乾闼婆最擅长混毒害人。”
王公公蹙眉道：“如此一来，岂不是防不胜防了？”
龙辉道：“公公多虑了，我刚才列举的只是一些可能的情况罢了。料想这混毒虽然厉害，但也不至于能随意控制引子的类型，若不然沧释天早就下手谋害皇上了，也不必等到今天，只要我们多加小心，定可避开凶兆。”
皇甫武吉道：“那龙卿你有何意见？”
龙辉道：“微臣愚见，在这段时日里，皇上不要食用宫内烹饪的膳食，直接将原料拿来现做现吃，茶杯、饭碗等一切用具也全部更换，最好这些物件都不允许外人触碰！”
皇甫武吉点头道：“龙卿说的甚好，这种做法最大程度杜绝了奸人下毒的可能。”
到了中午，皇甫武吉笑道：“不知不觉便到了午膳时间，翎羽，今天就陪父皇吃顿饭吧。龙卿你留下吧。”
龙辉应了一声是，白翎羽也没有反对。
皇甫武吉跟王公公低声交代了几句，王公公出去了一阵子，便从御膳房带回了一包东西。
他将包裹摆下后，又找来了炭盆。
就在龙辉、白翎羽吃惊之时，王公公将包裹打开，里边竟是一大堆生肉，牛羊鸡鸭皆有。
皇甫武吉笑道：“今天我们便用这个炭盆来烤肉。”
白翎羽久居军营，打猎烤肉是常有的事，如今回到京师吃这些精致膳食反倒有些不习惯，如今重温旧梦显得兴致勃勃。
她让王公公找来几根树枝，拔出随身匕首将树枝削得光滑尖锐，将牛羊生肉切成薄片，用树枝串起来，放在火上烘烤，油脂兹兹流淌滴下，肉香四溢，闻之垂涎。
白翎羽烤好一串肉脯后递给皇甫武吉，淡淡地道：“父皇，你先尝尝吧！”
皇甫武吉不由一愣，眼中闪过丝丝柔情，笑呵呵地接过肉脯，美滋滋地送入口中，慢慢咀嚼，赞道：“好吃，翎羽的手艺真是不错！”
白翎羽道：“父皇，这肉脯可没放调料的，这也好吃吗？”
皇甫武吉笑道：“原汁原味，自然真挚，当然好吃了！更何况是翎羽你亲手为父皇烤的，比什么山珍海味都好吃。”
皇甫武吉又吃了几块，他兴致甚高，叫来王公公一同品尝，可是王公公在吃了之后，眉头一阵紧凑，眼圈竟有几分湿润。
皇甫武吉不悦地道：“怎么公主亲手烤的肉脯不合你口味吗？”
王公公叹道：“皇上，请恕老奴直言，这肉脯未用调料，远不如宫中膳食，皇上您只是顾忌公主感受才不说穿。”
皇甫武吉脸色一沉，似有怒气。
龙辉急忙打圆场道：“公公，就算没放调料，你也不用哭吧，呵呵，这也忒夸张了吧。”
王公公抹了抹眼泪道：“老奴想到公主这些年天天吃这些难以下咽的肉脯，日夜奔波，睡不安寝，便感到揪心，忍不住就掉眼泪了。”
皇甫武吉沉默片刻，叹道：“你说的是，翎羽这些年确实是受苦了。但不要紧，朕一定会好好补偿翎羽的，朕要给她天下最珍贵的珠宝，最美味的膳食，最豪华的府邸，只要翎羽开口，便是天上星辰朕也要想办法取下来。”
白翎羽不由一阵神伤，低声道：“其实在军中也并非如此苦楚，跟兄弟们苦中作乐也是一种享受，而且督帅教会了我许多武功兵法。”
皇甫武吉顺着她语气道：“翎羽你喜欢军营，朕日后便给你组建一个娘子军，任由你调遣调配。待祭祖大典那一天，朕对着祖宗向你们母女告忏，封你为护国大公主。”
龙辉忽然想起了一些什么，急忙问道：“皇上，请恕微臣多嘴，祭祖仪式究竟是怎么个回事？”
王公公道；“此事便让老奴解答吧。皇室祖墓位于玉京东郊的九龙山，大典便是在山峰举行，皇室成员必须在卯时之前到达，皇上一大早就得起来，沐浴更衣，焚香静心，之后在宫廷礼仪官的伺候下以九鼎玉杯盛朝露之水饮下，以洗净圣心。”
龙辉忽然放下手中烤肉，猛地站直身来，皱眉道：“皇上，微臣想到了，昊天教可能会在您执行祭祖礼仪之时动手！”
皇甫武吉思索片刻，点头道：“可能性非常大，因为朕在驾临九龙山之前，沐浴焚香已经玉杯饮水皆是祖宗所传之礼法，不可更改！”
王公公道：“皇上，不如让老奴安排更换这些物品吧！”
皇甫武吉笑道：“不必，朕小心饮食乃是常情，若更换祭祖物品，那便是打草惊蛇！”
王公公忧心地道：“皇上，一切皆以您龙体要紧啊！”
皇甫武吉一声长笑，站了起来，神情振奋，意态豪雄道：“既然提前知晓沧释天的手段，那朕便将计就计，让他们自投罗网！”
龙辉道：“既然皇上心中已有定计，微臣也不敢多言。”
皇甫武吉笑道：“龙卿过谦了，此次若非有你提醒朕混毒之存在，恐怕朕要载个大跟斗了。待平息昊天乱党后，朕定会论功行赏。”
龙辉拱手道：“食君俸禄，为君解忧乃是臣子本分，微臣不敢要什么赏赐。”皇甫武吉笑了笑：“难道连驸马爷都不愿意做吗？”
龙辉一阵尴尬。
白翎羽俏脸泛红，咬唇不语。
皇甫武吉挪揄地道：“你不说话，朕就当你不肯了，过些时日朕就把公主许配给兵部尚书的大公子。”
白翎羽顿时急了，哼道：“什么狗屁大公子，你若真敢乱点鸳鸯谱，我过门那天一定把他打成残废！”
皇甫武吉笑道：“父皇原先也不想啊，我家翎羽武功超绝，寻常男子怎能匹配，可是有这能耐的人却不肯表态……”
白翎羽耳根酡红，美目瞥向龙辉。
龙辉急忙跪谢皇恩道：“能娶翎羽为妻乃是我之福分，多谢皇上赐婚！”
皇甫武吉凝视了龙辉片刻，说道：“龙辉，朕问你一句话，你要老实答我！”龙辉点头应是。
皇甫武吉道：“你此生最大愿望是什么？”
龙辉叹道：“微臣自幼生在白湾镇，家中虽不是大富大贵，但也算宽裕，不愁衣食住行，一心只想讨个漂亮贤惠的姑娘做夫人，然后再娶几房小妾，就这么游戏人间，无忧无虑地过一辈子，什么功成名就，建功立业，微臣从未考虑过。”皇甫武吉微微一愣，蹙眉道：“男儿志在四方，你正值青春年少，大好年华，何以有此颓唐想法？”
龙辉叹道：“或许人各有志，微臣确实不喜争强好胜，若非昊天教灭我满门，今日微臣恐怕还是一个纨绔子弟，嘻嘻哈哈度过一生。所以微臣恳请皇上，待铲除昊天教后，让微臣衣锦还乡，与众妻妾逍遥余生。”
“逍遥，逍遥……”
皇甫武吉喃喃自语了几声，继而沉寂，心绪不知飘到何处。
王公公提醒道：“皇上，时辰到了，各派高手也应该到齐了。”
皇甫武吉嗯了一声，双目微张，再复皇者雄姿，昂首踏步：“很好，朕便去会见各路高手！”
随之皇者虎步，众人穿过翻开暗门，穿过暗室，再入紫薇宫深部，只见墙壁四周镶嵌着斗大明珠，光华映照下，宽广的密室亮如白昼，只见室内三教会天剑，竟是宗逸逍、净尘、璃楼以及于秀婷、魏雪芯母女。
龙辉暗忖道：“雪芯跟谷主前来助阵乃意料之中，但宗逸逍阁主不是因浩气台大火离开京师了吗？何以也出现在此地。”
宗逸逍似乎看出龙辉疑惑，解释道：“其实皇上早就看穿沧释天的调虎离山之计，前些日子便派人送来密旨，及时制止儒门内斗，宗某才得以脱身。”
皇甫武吉笑道：“朕已在密旨上写明，孔岫教主乃名正言顺的儒门教尊，其大弟子和子嗣在功德和名望上有所不及，但儒门需要崭新气象，这两位公子皆是德行端正，而胸怀大志之辈，由他们承接儒门教统再合适不过！”
龙辉恍然大悟，原来皇甫武吉是抛出了这么一个条件，于是又问道：“那么另外两脉主事的意见呢？”
皇甫武吉道：“除去昊天教之后，宗阁主便公布朕之旨意，孔孟二人承接教统乃是合理合法，岂容他们反对。那两人与我那不成气候的儿子交往过多，难保不会受昊天教蛊惑，此次围剿昊天教，朕只会让他们守在外围，打打下手，只要宗阁主收拾了沧释天，那么沧海阁名望便可盖过其余两脉，就算没有朕之甚至，教统归属亦是一目了然！”
龙辉又问璃楼菩萨道：“敢问菩萨，占据韦驮菩萨肉身的恶佛可有下落？”
璃楼摇摇头道：“惭愧，此人在天诵塔爆炸后便销声匿迹，但却在暗地怂恿佛门各系势力，似乎准备有所动作。”
皇甫武吉道：“菩萨不必担忧，昊天覆灭，朕便向天下公布恶佛丑行，叫他无处容身，俯首受诛！”
原来皇甫武吉开出了这么深厚的条件，难怪能让三教同时携手勤王，至于天剑谷便是由于自己的裙带关系而来助阵。
皇甫武吉展开一幅皇宫图谱，说道：“祭祖那日，朕先是假装遇害，无法现身九龙山，到时候沧释天一定会怂恿皇室成员前来逼宫，那时朕就与诸位留在这紫薇宫，静候沧释天送上门来。至于外围，四方宫阙则由仇白飞带领御林军镇守另外还有劳三教弟子协助，堵住乱臣退路。”
净尘道：“皇上，贫道请问，沧释天会用何种手段弑君呢？”
他这个疑问亦是此番计划的成败关键，若皇甫武吉无法知晓沧释天刺杀的手段，别说无法假装遇害，就连性命也有危险。
皇甫武吉道：“道长问得好，朕敢肯定沧释天会下毒！而下毒的方式就在朕斋戒沐浴之时。”
说罢便命王公公取来祭祖之前所需的物品，王公公在不惊动外人的情况下将祭祀物品取来，是一套镶金锈仙黄袍，一些檀香，还有一尊玉杯，这玉杯晶莹透彻，做工精细，而且形态似鼎，鼎有九足，正是皇室祭祖酒杯——九鼎玉杯。
皇甫武吉道：“祭祖那日，朕会接触到的东西便只有这三种物品，沐浴的池水乃是从山上引下来的活水，而饮服露水是临时采集的朝露，要在水源下毒不切实际。”
龙辉想了想觉得也是有理，在活水下毒，要么就是毒性很大，要么就是数量够多，混毒的根本就是在于将没有毒性的东西混在一起生成毒素，所以投剧毒入水是不可能的，至于数量充足更是不可能，除非沧释天是傻子，若不然绝不会命手下扛着大批毒药满街跑。
露水受气候和风向的影响，充满许多的不确定性，沧释天不会抱着侥幸心理来造反。
所以只有皇甫武吉一定接触而又意想不到的东西才是投毒的最佳选择，龙辉扫了一眼，那三件物品，暗忖道：“这三件物品是皇甫武吉必须接触的，但在使用前一定会让宫娥太监准备好，也就是说外人也会接触到。那么混毒的关键就在于某种皇甫武吉能够接触，而外人不能接触之物……”
皇甫武吉见龙辉沉默不语，便问道：“龙卿，你在想什么呢？”
龙辉将心中疑惑讲出，叹道：“皇上明鉴，混毒的原理在于阴阳之法，先是以秘法锻炼凝聚毒药，使毒性相互抵消，而又暗自隐藏，配成阴阳两种毒素，只有当阴阳二毒相遇时才会毒发，但混毒也有弊端，那就是只需要清除其中一个环节，毒性就不会发作。这三件物品除了皇上，那些收拾整理器皿的太监宫娥也会接触，若他们不小心再接触到另一种毒药，岂不是做了冤鬼，而昊天教的阴谋也就败露了，以沧释天的性子绝不会容许这种事情发生的！”
Huangfu Wuji said, "What you say makes sense. So, what do you think is the key to the poisoning, Lord Long?"
Long Hui frowned and said, "Your Majesty has no idea yet, but let me briefly reiterate His Majesty's preparations before the ancestral worship ceremony—bathing, changing clothes, burning incense, and drinking water?"
Huangfu Wuji said, "These are indeed the four steps. If the Haotian Sect wanted to tamper with things, they could only do so within these four steps!"
Long Hui said, "That's right. According to the original analysis of the Emperor, Cang Shitian must have already calculated that the Emperor would die after completing these four steps. Bathing requires a water source, and the water used in this step is running water, so it's impossible to poison it; changing clothes, the robe is something that must be worn, so there's a high possibility of something fishy going on; tampering with the incense burning step is also somewhat difficult, because there are many sandalwood incense in the palace, and the Gandharva doesn't know which incense the Emperor will use, so the possibility of poisoning is also low; as for drinking water... although the collection of dew is uncertain, the Emperor will definitely use the cup, so the cup is also a place where something could be tampered with. But the cup and the robe are things that other people can touch, so how could the Gandharva poison them?"
Zong Yixiao said, "Lord Long, could it be that one poison enters through the mouth, while the other enters the body through contact? After all, the person who drank the water is only the Emperor."
Long Hui sighed, “The ways of entering the body can be different, but the mixing of poisons lies in the attraction between yin and yang. As long as the two poisons get close, they will produce toxicity. Of course, if there is a catalyst, then the issue of the catalyst must be considered. But without exception, they will all be poisoned after getting close, just like the case of Bai Fei’s wrongful conviction. The two poisons came together and the catalyst catalyzed the process.”
Suddenly, a refined and charming female voice rang out: "Your Majesty, I have an idea. Could it be that these four steps are the key to generating poison?"
Suddenly, Yu Xiuting spoke up.
