Reborn as a beautiful little lucky star

Concubine Liu's assassination was just an illusion; the truly deadly plot was hidden in the silk handkerchief.

As long as Xuanyuan Li's wound was contaminated by the venom in the silk handkerchief, he would die on the spot.

"Afraid?"

Xuanyuan Li kicked the queen to the ground and sneered disdainfully: "With your clumsy tricks, you want to murder me?"

"I think you have been sitting in the position of Queen for too long. You have forgotten who is the real ruler of the palace. Who can play tricks under my nose?"

"I beg the emperor to show mercy and let me see Xun'er again."

The queen was disheartened and felt heartbroken when she thought of the young Eleventh Prince.

Now that her mother is dead, the young child will be at the mercy of others.

"Humph."

Xuanyuan Li kicked the queen again and angrily scolded her coldly: "How dare you mention Xun'er? You are not worthy of being his mother."

"Your Majesty, please, please let me see Xun'er again..."

The queen cried out at the top of her lungs, but Xuanyuan Li remained indifferent and allowed the guards to drag her and Concubine Liu out.

-

The huge palace was as silent as death.

All the officials were trembling with fear, and some of the timid ones rolled their eyes and fainted.

"The Ninth Prince has been rewarded with a thousand taels of gold for his service in saving the emperor."

Xuanyuan Li looked around the entire hall with sharp eyes, and his gaze fell on Xuanyuan Jifeng.

"Thank you, Father."

Xuanyuan Jifeng knelt on one knee and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"You, come with me."

Xuanyuan Li looked at him dimly, his eyes dark and unclear.

"Yes."

Xuanyuan Jifeng stood up and bowed to accept the order.

Xuanyuan Li got on the sedan chair and left the hall.

Xuanyuan Jifeng and the imperial physician accompanied him to the bedroom.

The imperial physician was trembling with fear, and from time to time he glanced at Xuanyuan Li's bleeding arm.

He was afraid that if he delayed too long, the wound would become inflamed and difficult to heal, which would anger the Emperor and put his life in danger.

Xuanyuan Jifeng reached out his hand and supported him to prevent him from becoming dazed, his legs and feet going weak, and falling to the ground.

"Thank you, Ninth Prince."

The imperial physician burst into tears of gratitude and thanked him repeatedly: "The Ninth Prince is a good man, no wonder the emperor has relied on him since he was a child."

Xuanyuan Jifeng curled the corners of his lips slightly, but said nothing.

Only he and his son knew whether the emperor really trusted him.

To outsiders, they appear to be a loving father and a filial son, but in reality, they each have their own agenda.

Xuanyuan Li's apparent reliance on him was actually an attempt to use him and make him work for him.

And his purpose of false flattery was about to be achieved.

What he wants is his throne.

And his life.

-

Bedroom.

Xuanyuan Li got off the sedan chair and entered the bedroom.

The huge palace was empty. There was an incense burner on the table. Wisps of incense wafted out of the burner, covering up the pungent smell of blood.

The attendants closed the doors and windows, allowing only the imperial physician and Xuanyuan Jifeng to enter the palace.

Xuanyuan Li came to the table and sat down, reaching out to flick the ashes in the incense burner.

A drop of blood dripped down the finger into the incense burner and was ignited by the incense, making a slight sizzling sound.

"Your Majesty, it's time to apply the medicine."

The imperial physician glanced at the incense burner with surprise in his eyes. He did not dare to say anything more and approached the table with the medicine box.

Xuanyuan Li closed his eyes and let him treat his wound.

Xuanyuan Jifeng stood respectfully to one side, watching the imperial physician apply medicine to Xuanyuan Li, a hint of ambiguous light flashed in his eyes.

Just now, when he supported the imperial physician, he sprinkled a layer of poison powder on his right hand.

As long as the poison powder gets on Xuanyuan Li's wound, he will die of the poison within an hour.

The imperial physician was unaware of the truth and was treating Xuanyuan Li's wound. His fingers came into contact with the wound and the poison powder had already entered his blood.

And what he had to do was to force him to write an edict of succession within an hour, and put the blame of Xuanyuan Li's death on the queen.

Concubine Liu is the Imperial Master's man, and she instigated the Queen to avenge the Second Prince.

He pretended to rescue the emperor and used the imperial physician to poison him.

Because of his meritorious service in saving the emperor, Xuanyuan Li was murdered by the queen and wrote an edict of succession before his death.

All officials submitted and he succeeded to the throne smoothly.

This is what the national teacher meant by careful consideration and thorough planning.

A real trick within a trick!

-

"I really underestimated you."

The imperial physician bandaged the wound and was about to bow and leave when Xuanyuan Li suddenly opened his eyes, sneered, and looked at Xuanyuan Jifeng: "You defected from the palace, and you dare to come back?"

The imperial physician's legs went limp and he fell to his knees with a thud.

What kind of horrifying royal secret is this? ! ! !

Is it something he can hear?

The emperor won’t kill him to silence him, right?

"I came back to confirm something."

Xuanyuan Jifeng's expression remained unchanged, fearless: "The villain who kidnapped my mother said that he was her biological son and that I was just an imposter. I don't want to listen to his one-sided words and be deceived by him, so I must come back and confirm this with my father."

The imperial physician trembled, lowered his head even more, and wished he could plug his ears.

However, things don't always go as planned.

He still clearly heard Xuanyuan Li's sneer.

"Since you let him go, you must have believed his words. Why bother pretending to be so hypocritical and come back to the palace to deceive me?"

"Is that true?"

Xuanyuan Jifeng pretended to be shocked: "Why did your father conceal my true life experience for eleven years?"

"Because your father is a coward."

Xuanyuan Li was so excited that he could not control himself. He sneered, "Your wife and children are trapped in Xiliang, and there has been no news for several years. Why do you think I spared your life?"

"Do you really think you are a rising star and I want to use you to expand my territory?"

"Wrong, absolutely wrong!"

"Your only value is as bait, a bait for fishing, and your father is the big fish."

"Unfortunately, I was wrong. I overestimated his ability. I waited for eleven years, but he didn't show up."

"Do you think he is a coward?"

"Are you a coward?"

-

"I don't know if he is a coward. It's hard to make a conclusion about someone you've never met."

Xuanyuan Jifeng responded calmly, then changed the subject with a hint of sarcasm.

"But why is Father so afraid of him and so determined to kill him that he even uses his beloved woman as bait? Is there some unspeakable secret between the two of you?"

"What secrets do I have with him?!"

Xuanyuan Li was so furious at his sharp words that he slammed the table and stood up from the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Your health is the most important thing. Getting angry can hurt your body..."

The imperial physician was terrified, but he tried to persuade the patient out of kindness.

However, before he could finish his sentence, his face suddenly changed drastically. He covered his chest in pain and coughed twice, with black poisonous blood flowing from the corners of his lips.

"Imperial Physician Chen."

Xuanyuan Jifeng was shocked and took a few steps forward to support his shaky body.

"The incense burner is poisonous, run away quickly..."

The imperial physician was barely breathing. He used up his last bit of strength to push him away and fell to the ground.

"incense burner?"

Xuanyuan Jifeng was horrified and rolled back more than ten meters.
