Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but take a breath.

My father wanted to hand over his military power, but His Majesty refused to accept it.

What does this mean?

Although this is the Jiang family army, the general's orders have always been passed down from generation to generation by the Jiang family.

I collected it and gave it to my second brother.

However, for His Majesty, it is better to be in the hands of the second brother than in the hands of his father.

At least, my second brother is not as popular in the army as my father.

Now it is easy for His Majesty to take advantage of the time when his second brother takes over the Jiang family army to place his own people here.

It is a profitable thing for His Majesty, why would he be unwilling?

Or did His Majesty want to accuse the Duke of Zhenguo of seeking power and usurping the throne while my father was in this position? That's why he repeatedly disagreed with my father stepping down from this position?

After all, wasn’t it because of this crime that the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion fell into decline in the previous life?

Jiang Wanqing frowned, thinking about something.

The best option now is to let my father go to guard the border town. With the power in my father's hands, the emperor will be more wary.

Although, the second brother can take over.

But my second brother is still young after all, and he doesn’t have as much vision as my father in many things.

However, looking at his father's graying temples, Jiang Wanqing sighed.

My father is getting old. He has worried too much about the Great Zhou and fought countless wars.

At this age, it's time to take a break.

Jiang Wanqing suddenly thought of something and said, "Now that my elder and second brothers have come to the palace, they will definitely talk about your injury. I think the big scene that my elder sister-in-law made just now was probably for the spies in the palace to see."

Liu Yinyin on the side nodded.

He said, "My father was also injured in the war before, but he never came to the point of retiring and returning home. Since he wants to use the injury as an excuse, he naturally has to act more realistically."

Jiang Wanqing thought of something and suddenly looked at Mo Yu beside him.

He whispered something in the other person's ear.

Mo Yu opened his eyes wide, somewhat incredulous.

However, the next moment, he took something out of his pocket.

Looking closely, it was a small porcelain bottle.

Jiang Wanqing opened the porcelain bottle, took out a pill from it and handed it to the Duke of Zhenguo.

There was confusion in the Duke's eyes.

He handed Xiao Xiao in his arms to his wife before taking the medicine from Jiang Wanqing's hand.

Then he asked again: "This medicine?"

Jiang Wanqing said, "Father, just eat."

The Duke did not hesitate and threw the pill directly into his mouth.

The Duke's wife at the side asked, "Wanqing, what are you giving your father to eat?"

Jiang Wanqing looked at the Duke's wife and said calmly, "It's poison!"

"What?" The Duke's wife said in disbelief.

"Little sister, why did you give dad poison?" Liu Yinyin was also stunned.

"Sister, you poisoned our father? He's our biological father!" Jiang Wushang took a breath.

No one expected that Jiang Wanqing would actually poison her own father!

But the Duke said with a smile: "The poison given by my daughter still tastes sweet! Thoughtful!"

The Duke's wife and Liu Yinyin, standing by, showed complicated expressions.

Mo Yushuiyun also looked at the Duke in shock.

This is poison fed to him!

These are not jelly beans.

Why can the Duke still laugh like this?

Nanny Su on the side was very calm.

She had taken care of Jiang Wanqing since she was young, and knew best how the Duke treated Jiang Wanqing.

Jiang Wanqing naturally had her reasons for doing this.

"Pfft~"

The next second, the Duke vomited a mouthful of blood.

"master!"

"father!"

The worried voices of Lady Guogong and Liu Yinyin rang out at the same time.

The Duke wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the blood on his hands.

He frowned and looked at Jiang Wanqing: "Daughter, this medicine is a bit intoxicating."

Jiang Wanqing stepped forward and helped the Duke onto the bed.

Then he said, "Since it's a show, then of course we have to do it to the fullest."

The Duke's wife looked at the expression on the Duke Zhenguo's face and became more and more uneasy.

The Duke of Zhenguo's expression looked extremely scary earlier.

Now his face looks like he is about to die at any moment.

The Duke's wife looked at Jiang Wanqing and asked tentatively, "Daughter, will your father be okay?"

Jiang Wanqing's eyes were filled with helplessness: "Could it be that I really did harm him?"

Liu Yinyin on the side replied subconsciously: "But who would have thought that you really dared to poison Dad."

Seeing everyone's worried expressions, the Duke waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I don't feel any discomfort at all."

Jiang Wanqing glanced at Mo Yu.

Mo Yu also stood up, looked at the Duke's wife, and explained: "Don't worry, Madam, this medicine is a special medicine. It just looks very serious. If you let the doctor take a look, he will just think it looks like poisoning. In fact, there is nothing wrong."

Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife heaved a sigh of relief.

Jiang Wanqing looked at Liu Yinyin again and gave her a look: "Sister-in-law, this is a good opportunity, open the door."

Liu Yinyin immediately understood, walked over and opened the door.

At this time, the Duke's wife hugged Xiao Xiao and cried out: "My dear, what happened to you? Why are you vomiting blood? Don't leave me alone!"

After Liu Yinyin opened the door, she turned to the maid outside, her eyes red, and said softly, "Go get a basin of clean warm water."

After saying that, she returned to the house and joined the wailing camp.

The Duke's wife raised her eyebrows at Jiang Wanqing and lowered her voice: "How is it? Am I being real when I cry for the dead?"

Jiang Wanqing's mouth twitched: "Real!"

Then, she looked at Jiang Wushang who was leaning against the end of the bed and said with a smile: "Third brother, why aren't you crying? It wouldn't be real if you didn't cry."

Jiang Wushang pursed his lips: "Men sweat, not tears!"

Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife took a step forward.

He smiled at Jiang Wushang.

Jiang Wushang was confused.

The next second, the Duke's wife directly picked the soft flesh on Jiang Wushang's waist and pinched it hard.

Jiang Wushang howled subconsciously.

Then he looked at the Duke's wife sadly.

The Duke's wife coughed lightly and said, "Isn't it good to cry at a funeral?"

Jiang Wanqing shook her head helplessly and looked at Jiang Wushang with sympathy.

Then he took Xiaoxiao back from the Duke's wife's arms.

[Mother, your whole family is full of acting talents! ]

The Duke lay on the bed with his eyes closed, resting, as if he was experiencing in advance what the scene would be like if he really returned in the future.

"No, ma'am!"

The next second, a maid rushed into the house.
