The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

This time it was Ye Qiandai's turn to laugh. She looked at him sadly, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Lu Xiuyuan is about to conquer nearly half of our territory. Only if he dies can our Zhujing Country be saved.

“If I hand over the antidote in order to survive, Lu Xiuyuan will surely destroy my country in the future, and my father, mother, brother the crown prince, and I, the princess, will all have a bad ending.

"Rather than that, I might as well die with Lu Xiuyuan. This way, I might be able to save the country, my father, mother, and brother, the crown prince."

Shen Luofan narrowed his eyes and ignored her "greatness", but reminded her: "You have to think about it carefully, you know my medical skills, even if you don't hand over the antidote, I will try my best to develop an antidote to save Lu Xiuyuan.

"Once I succeed in developing it, Lu Xiuyuan will not die, but you will miss the chance to survive."

Ye Qiandai didn't say anything. She pondered for a moment, raised her head and looked at him, and asked, "Do you miss your father?"

Shen Luofan was startled, stunned by her sudden words.

That man? Although he failed his mother, he had always doted on her since she was young...

Ye Qiandai sighed with a bitter smile and continued, "My brother the Crown Prince and my mother are indeed sorry for you, but you have no reason to hate my father.

“Your mother has always been his favorite woman, and you have always been his favorite child.

"He gave you all his fatherly love. If it weren't for the prince brother who attacked you, you should have been made the crown prince long ago."

Shen Luofan did not deny her words, but said expressionlessly: "What's the point of saying this? His love is too incompetent. He could neither protect my mother from being killed by you nor protect me from Ye Beimo's murder."

"That's because my grandfather is a powerful prime minister!" Ye Qiandai defended her father. "What about the king? He is still helpless. If my grandfather wasn't so powerful, how could the emperor tolerate us hurting you and your son?"

Shen Luofan closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "It's true that he loves me and my mother, but he loves the imperial power even more."

Ye Qiandai stared at him steadily, "Even with his love for you, you shouldn't help outsiders to occupy his territory and usurp his kingdom!"

Shen Luofan turned around and said in a cold voice: "I did not participate in the war. I saved Lu Xiuyuan purely because he was so kind to me. I betrayed your brother once when I let him go last time. There will never be a second time!"

Ye Qiandai sighed in despair after hearing this, and said with her head down, "If that's the case, I won't say much.

"Ever since you left, my father has never stopped thinking about you. He heard that you were working under Lu Xiuyuan. He didn't blame you. Instead, he handed me a document before I left and asked me to pass it to you if I saw you!"

Shen Luofan's eyes moved and his lips moved, as if he wanted to ask something, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Ye Qiandai knew what he was thinking and said, "It's in the hairpin in my hair. Come and take it."

Shen Luofan looked at the hairpin in her hair, hesitated for a moment, and walked over to pull it out. He pulled out the pearl flower on the hairpin based on his guesswork, and found that the hairpin shaft was hollow, with a thin paper roll inside.

He took out the paper roll, put it into his sleeve, and then put the hairpin back into Ye Qiandai's hair.

"Father has aged a lot, and the heavy state affairs have taken a toll on his body. Go back and visit him when you have time.

"After all, when Lu Xiuyuan captures the capital, my father will die. Don't let him leave this world with regrets." Ye Qiandai continued to be sentimental in front of him.

Shen Luofan's heart trembled and his nose felt a little sore, but he said nothing, turned around and walked towards the door.

"Since you are willing to sacrifice your life for your country, I will grant your wish. I will take the towel out of your mouth. You can take this opportunity to bite your tongue and commit suicide, so as to avoid suffering tomorrow."

After saying that, he walked out of the room, closed the door, and gradually walked away.

After he left, Ye Qiandai smiled like a poppy.

Wow, the prince is really good at predicting things.

It’s just a pity that she has unfortunately fallen to her current situation and can only watch the prince dominate the world from heaven.

The next day, Xia Younan brought his men to the room where Ye Qiandai was imprisoned early in the morning. However, when they opened the door, they saw a corpse with a mouth full of blood.

Xia Younan was shocked and rushed over to open her mouth to check. But he saw that her tongue was almost bitten in half, and her mouth was full of blood, which even flowed out of her mouth and stained the collar of her clothes red.

When I sniffed her breath again, I found that she had no breath and her body was no longer warm.

"She, she, she...bit her tongue and committed suicide?" Zhu Li pointed at Ye Qiandai in surprise and asked.

Xia Younan was furious. He kicked over the chair that Ye Qiandai was tied to, and roared in despair, "She actually committed suicide! The antidote hasn't been handed over yet. What will the prince do if she dies?"

"This...how did she spit out the towel in her mouth?" Xiong Fei said depressedly while looking at the towel on the ground.

Xia Younan was desperate and suffocated. He covered his forehead and sighed sadly, "It's my fault. I should have put more force into her mouth yesterday."

She really didn't expect that Ye Qiandai had such a strong character that she would rather bite her tongue to commit suicide than hand over the antidote.

At this point, she could only place her hopes on Shen Luofan.

After all, it was his original body. Xia Younan ordered Zhu Li and Xiong Fei to bury the body properly, and then he went to find Shen Luofan.

Shen Luofan was holding a piece of letter in his room, feeling sad. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. He hurriedly put away the letter, wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, got up and opened the door.

"Luo Fan, something terrible has happened. Ye Qiandai bit her tongue and committed suicide." Xia Younan couldn't wait to confide in him.

"Well, that's a bit difficult." Shen Luofan did not show any surprise, nor any sadness.

At this time, Xia Younan noticed his abnormality, pointed at his eyes, and asked in confusion: "Luo Fan, why are your eyes red? Is there something wrong?"

Shen Luofan shook his head and forced a smile, "No, I was blinded just now and accidentally rubbed my eyes and they turned red."

"Oh." Xia Younan did not doubt him and continued the previous topic with a sad face, "Ye Qiandai is dead. It is impossible to get the antidote directly. Can you think of a way to develop an antidote?"

Shen Luofan pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "I'll do my best. Don't bother me during this time. I will do my best to save the prince's life."

"Okay, tell me if you need anything. Xiuyuan is relying on you." Xia Younan said hopefully, then turned and left.

For the following time, Shen Luofan stayed indoors and did not go out. He only saw Hong Wu going in and out. Every time she went in, she carried a large pile of herbs, and when she came out, she carried a large basin of medicinal residue.

During this period, Lu Xiuyuan just lay in bed and rested, while Xia Younan was fully responsible for all military affairs.

Tang Guojing was beaten half to death, but he was still relatively well behaved for the time being. Tang Ran was only concerned with taking care of her father and did not come to harass Lu Xiuyuan.
