Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"I don't know." Li Yuan let out a hey, and said, "If Your Majesty knew, our heads would have fallen to the ground long ago!"

Mrs. Li nodded, she finally seemed to feel more at ease, and hurriedly asked: "Then what should we do now?"

Li Yuan paused for a moment, glanced at Mrs. Li, and finally made up his mind, saying: "Although I have managed to control the matter, this matter cannot be kept secret after all, so we must resolve this matter as soon as possible." Otherwise, you and I will surely die!"

As he spoke, Li Yuan took out the small medicine bottle he had just obtained from Mao Sui from his bosom, and said in a low voice, "This is a highly poisonous thing I got from the alchemist. It has a slightly peculiar smell. Remember to take it Mix it in the soup and offer it to the king, let the king drink it, and it only takes half an hour to kill him!"

Mrs. Li's body trembled again when she heard the words, her face turned pale again: "Brother, brother, are you going to poison the king?"

Madam Li looked at Li Yuan and suddenly felt that her brother was so strange.

Li Yuan was obviously very uncomfortable with his sister's eyes, and said angrily: "What can we do if we don't poison? As long as the king knows about this, we will all die! The only way is to poison the king to death first. Then Huan'er will inherit the throne, so that no one will make a fuss about it!"

Mrs. Li still seemed very hesitant: "Yes, but"

Obviously, this weak woman never thought that one day she would poison her own king to death.

Li Yuan suddenly reached out and grabbed his sister's shoulder, and said with a more serious tone: "Listen, I know that you are quite resistant to this matter in your heart, but think about it for yourself. If this matter cannot be successful, then Han'er and Jude You're going to die, understand! You have to do this for Han'er and Yu'er!"

Li Yuan knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to impress his younger sister to do this, the most important thing was not brother-sister friendship, but Mrs. Li's love for her two children as a mother!

Sure enough, Li Yuan's move was successful.

After hearing the fate of her two children, Mrs. Li suddenly became calmer. Although her tone was still trembling when she spoke, she seemed to have recovered her normal thinking ability.

"Brother, do you really want to do this?" Mrs. Li looked at Li Yuan fixedly, her beautiful big eyes still struggling a bit.

Li Yuan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Not only do we have to do this, but we have to do it as soon as possible! I suspect that the three major families may have already heard the news. If they are asked to report it to the king, Lord Chunshen is not in Yingdu right now. Among them, we don't have any power to deal with the three major families at all!"

Mrs. Li took a deep breath, and suddenly reached out to take the poison bottle from Li Yuan's hand.

"Since that's the case, then just go home and wait in peace, brother. Sooner or later, tonight or tomorrow, brother will definitely hear the news you want."

This answer obviously made Li Yuan very satisfied: "Very good. If that's the case, then I'll contact my friends and start preparing for Han'er's ascension to the throne!"

After Li Yuan left for a while, Mrs. Li, who regained her demeanor, summoned the palace staff: "You go and talk to the palace doctor, and they said that the king has been working hard for the country's affairs for the past few days, so let them make some soothing soup for the king's nourishment." Make up. By the way, remember to tell those palace doctors to come and report back after the medicinal soup is cooked, and I will personally present the soup to the king!"

Chapter 866 Mrs. Li Offers Medicine (Second Change)

Although Mrs. Li is just an ordinary lady, the problem is that she gave birth to two sons for Chu Wangyuan, and they are the only two sons, so this Mrs. Li's words are still very useful in the palace.

After all, everyone knows that after the current crown prince Xiong Han ascends the throne, this Mrs. Li will be a justifiable queen mother.

Who would have trouble with a future empress dowager?

In fact, even the current queen of Chu would have to sell Madam Li some face.

This is the so-called mother is more expensive than the child.

So when it was getting late, Mrs. Li took her cronies to the palace doctor once, got the medicinal soup from the palace doctor, and then took it personally and sent it to Chu Wangyuan's bedroom.

Perhaps it was because of the state affairs, Chu Wangyuan actually rarely visited other concubines recently, and slept in his own bedroom most of the time.

This is a good thing for Mrs. Li, otherwise, if Chu Wangyuan went to visit other wives, Mrs. Li would not be very convenient to offer soup and medicine.

The clogs under Mrs. Li's feet stepped on the bluestone floor, and the sound of tapping echoed in the corridors of the palace, which sounded a bit deep.

A gust of gloomy wind blew head-on from the end of the corridor, Madam Li suddenly shivered for some reason, her whole body trembled violently, and almost spilled the medicinal soup in her hand.

"Ma'am!" The few palace people behind were startled and rushed forward.

Fortunately, Mrs. Li stabilized her body immediately, waved her hands and said, "It's okay."

Having said that, Mrs. Li was actually a little bit surprised and uncertain in her heart.

From Mrs. Li's point of view, this cloudy wind came quite abruptly. Could it be that ghosts and gods are warning her?

Mrs. Li regained her composure and continued to walk in front of her.

The palace city in Yingdu is actually very large, but because of Madam Li's special status, her palace is not very far from Chu Wangyuan's bedroom.

A moment later, a high platform appeared in front of Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li walked under the high platform, and the guarding soldiers were already used to seeing this lady, so they let her go without saying anything.

Mrs. Li climbed up the steps of the high platform step by step with the medicinal soup in her hands, looking at the lights that were still on in the palace above the high platform, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Suddenly, Mrs. Li's feet twitched, and she staggered a few steps and almost fell down.

The palace people behind them suddenly exclaimed.

It was at this time that a powerful arm suddenly stretched out to help Mrs. Li, helping her to stand still.

Mrs. Li glanced at the other party gratefully, and found that it turned out to be a soldier of the Imperial Guard of Chu State standing beside the steps on duty.

The soldier gave a deep salute to Mrs. Li, and then resumed his normal and upright standing posture.

Generally speaking, these soldiers would maintain this posture and stand on the steps for a whole night.

Mrs. Li smiled reluctantly, and continued walking forward with the medicinal soup in her hand, the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

Could it be that the events that happened one after another were really some kind of sign?

Mrs. Li suddenly became a little hesitant again.

Chu State is a country most superstitious about ghosts and gods. The so-called palace doctors are actually wizards. Chu Wangyuan even dances to the gods on stage every year when offering sacrifices to the heavens, in order to pray for the gods to bless Chu.

Under such an atmosphere, Mrs. Li obviously believed something inevitably.

Could it be that the heavens are against me doing this?If I really disregard God's will, will I be punished?

This made her panic.

It was at this time that Mrs. Li finally stepped up to the last step and came to the bedroom of King Yuan of Chu.

Another gust of wind blew, and Mrs. Li's back suddenly felt slightly chilled.

Mrs. Li's consciousness suddenly came to her senses. Now that she has reached this point, is there any way out for her?

If you don't offer this poisonous decoction today, you, your elder brother, and your two precious sons will die in a few days!

"God Taiyi, if there is any crime, let me, Mrs. Li, bear it alone."

She paused, silently praying in her heart.

Mrs. Li finally walked into the bedroom in front of her.

Chu Wangyuan did not fall asleep, but was still wearing his clothes, sitting in front of the table and concentrating on what he was looking at.
