Concubine Li suddenly looked at him seriously,

"Yu'er, my mother-in-law said, I'm doing this all for you. You already have a share in the country of Daning. Why are they enjoying the hot and spicy food here, but you have to hide in the imperial mausoleum and give it to them?" Are those dead people guarding the tomb?"

Yu'er was frightened by Mrs. Li's words. His mother-in-law had always been a gentle and elegant person. Why did she suddenly become like this today?

He looked at her in astonishment,

"Mother, what's wrong with you? You didn't say that before. You said that we are accompanying my father in another way. He didn't get to watch me grow up when he was alive. After he dies, we must let him Seeing what I will look like when I grow up, why would you say such a thing today? Yu'er doesn't seem to recognize you. Concubine, are you sick again? I'm going to call the imperial doctor now..."

"Yu'er..."

Concubine Li suddenly stopped him,

"I'm not sick. I'll tell you the truth today. You must seize this throne. No matter what method you use, you must seize it."

"Do not."

Yu'er immediately raised her voice to interrupt her,

"Concubine, you are crazy. I only think what you are saying is crazy."

"I'm sober now. I know what I'm talking about. Yu'er, you have to listen to me, otherwise Leng Yu will kill you sooner or later."

"No, he is my fourth brother. He will not kill me, and I will not fight for his throne. Even if he is killed, I will not fight."

After saying this, he was about to turn around and leave, but Concubine Li suddenly stopped him,

"Yu'er, if you don't agree, my mother-in-law will die in front of you."

When she said this, she pulled off a hairpin and stabbed it into her neck. Blood stains suddenly overflowed from her snow-white neck.

This scene frightened Yu'er, who immediately stepped forward to persuade him in fear,

"Mother, please don't do anything stupid..."

"Yu'er, my mother-in-law said that my mother-in-law did this all for you. If you don't agree to my wishes, my mother-in-law might as well die."

After saying this, she pressed her hand hard inward, and the hairpin was instantly stained red with blood.

"Mother..."

Yu'er's face turned pale with fright. He kept waving his hands, trying to pull her forward, but he was afraid that if she exerted any force, she would die under the hairpin.

He stood there helpless, his face turned pale with anxiety...

"Yu'er, my concubine has lived for you all her life. If you don't promise me, my concubine's life will be meaningless."

Before she finished speaking, she closed her eyes tightly, as if she was really preparing to die.

In desperation, Yu'er suddenly shouted,

"Mother, I promise you, I promise you anything."

This sentence played right into Mrs. Li's wish. An imperceptible smile flashed in her eyes. She then put down the hairpin in her hand and looked at Yu'er with tears in her eyes.

"Yu'er, don't blame your mother and concubine. Since ancient times, there have been countless cases of the jungle preying on the strong, especially in the palace. If you are not strong, you will be eaten alive. You must become strong and defeat all your opponents. OK."

At this time, Yu'er was looking at Concubine Li like a stranger. He felt that the person in front of him was no longer the concubine he was familiar with and relied on. She was more like a lioness who would do anything for food.

But she is his mother, this is an indisputable fact. She has suffered a lot for him in these years, and he cannot watch her die in front of him.

He would do anything for his mother and concubine, even if it was forced.

Thinking of this, he bit his lip, let out a long sigh, and then nodded,

"Okay, I agree to whatever you say."

Seeing the change in Yu'er's attitude, Mrs. Li's eyes flashed with pride, and then she took out a package of things from her pocket and handed it to him.

"Put this thing in the prince's water glass."

Yu'er looked at her with astonished eyes,

"Mother, what is this? You can't harm Lele."

Concubine Li hurriedly smiled and explained,

"Yu'er, you are too worried. This packet of medicine is harmless. Just do what my mother and concubine said. She will tell you the reason later."

"But……"

"If you don't agree, you just want to force the mother-in-law to death."

Seeing Mrs. Li's eyes become sharp, Yu'er immediately took the packet of medicine, gritted his teeth and nodded,

"Okay, I promise you, but you have to promise me that no matter what, you can't hurt Lele. I haven't been with him for long, but I can see that he is kind-hearted, but he is a little unkind to words."

In order to reassure Yu'er, Concubine Li smiled and nodded,

"Silly boy, my mother-in-law will not harm Lele, but if we want to compete for the throne, we cannot let Lele become stronger..."

"What do you mean by this? Will this thing make Lele stupid? Or... will it waste his efforts?"

"No, no."

Concubine Li quickly shook her head,

"This little medicinal noodle will only temporarily make him lose his fighting spirit, but it will not harm his body, so don't worry!"

Yu'er pinched the medicine bag in his hand and looked at her unbearably,

"Mother, I really don't want this throne..."

As soon as he said these words, Mrs. Li's face suddenly turned from eyes to gloom.

She glared at him and yelled,

"Yu'er, you want to force your mother to death. Now she gives you two ways, either to fight for the throne or to die. You can choose for yourself!"

"Mother..."

Yu'er felt in a dilemma at this time.

He looked at Mrs. Li's livid face and the blood stains just left on her neck, and did not dare to say anything.

He found that after getting sick this time, his mother's temper was much more irritable than before. In other words, he suspected that her illness was not cured at all and that she was still possessed by ghosts.

In order not to anger her, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Everything depends on my mother and concubine."

Seeing that he agreed, Concubine Li nodded with satisfaction and then reminded:

"Yu'er, don't tell others what my mother and concubine said to you, otherwise, you will be killed."

"Yes, Yu'er understands."

"Go back. You have to do this as soon as possible, so as not to disrupt the mother-in-law's plan."

Yu'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement,

"Yes, Yu'er is resigning."

With these words behind him, he turned around and walked towards the gate.

Watching his leaving figure, an unpredictable look flashed in Mrs. Li's eyes.

Ah Xing stepped forward and asked softly:

"Toffee, will Yu'er do this?"

"Go and keep an eye on it. If he is being mean, come back and tell me."

"Yes, I'll go there in a minute. Leng Yu's place..."

"I have my own arrangements over there, and there is Liu Luolan. None of them can escape."

The girl nodded with half-closed eyes,

"The concubine is wise, then I will go down."

"Go! If you have anything to do, please report back at any time."

She was still a little worried about Yu'er. He was too simple-minded and too kind-hearted. She really didn't trust him to do this.

After Yu'er returned to the palace, he held the packet of medicine and kept pacing back and forth.

Although the mother-in-law said that this thing was non-toxic, he did not dare to give it to Lele rashly. What if Lele was hurt?

But he had to listen to what his mother and concubine said. What should he do?

At this moment, he suddenly saw the water glass on the table. Since his mother-in-law said it was non-toxic, he might as well try it first to see if what her mother-in-law said was true.

Thinking of this, he came to the table, poured some of the medicinal noodles in his hand into the cup, shook the cup, then bit his lip, as if he had made a lot of determination, raised his head, and poured the water in the cup. Drink it all in one gulp...
