Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

In the study of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Nan Huaishuo was rubbing his brows with a tired look on his face.

Since the wedding night, he had been lying in bed for five full days before he could barely get out of bed and walk.

Lin Qingrou was seriously ill and was unable to get out of bed until ten days later. She is still taking medicine all the time.

Nan Huaishuo ordered people to check the incense and cassia wine in the house that day, and found that the amount of aphrodisiac in the cassia wine had been increased, and the person who tampered with it was his newlywed wife Lin Qingrou.

Nan Huaishuo pressed his still sore waist, feeling extremely angry.

Did Lin Qingrou drug him and make him addicted?

They have slept together twice since they met, and Nan Huaishuo was drugged by Lin Qingrou both times.

Originally, I thought Lin Qingrou was used by Lin Jiang because she was attracted to me and wanted to marry him so much. But now that she has become the queen, her methods are still so despicable!

Nan Huaishuo's face darkened. During this period, Lin Qingrou was recuperating, and Nan Huaishuo had never visited her.

If she could realize her mistakes and bow to him, maybe Nan Huaishuo could keep her for a few more days, otherwise...

Gu Zhi walked in from outside and bowed respectfully to Nan Huaishuo.

"Your Highness, the medicine has been prepared. We only need the last ingredient."

Nan Huaishuo raised his head and revealed a pair of dark circles under his eyes, but his eyes were very bright. He had been waiting for this medicine for a long time.

"Oh? What kind of medicine do you need?"

“The human heart.”

Nan Huaishuo was not surprised at all when he heard this. Ever since Gu Zhi took out the gray Gu last time, he had guessed Gu Zhi's true origins. Gu Zhi was from the East Witch Kingdom.

The people of Dongwu Kingdom are good at raising Gu. The things used in the process are very weird, and the people's intentions are also normal.

"Anyone's?"

Gu Zhi only showed the upper half of his face, with a secretive look on his face, and explained to Nan Huaishuo in a low voice.

"The heart of a woman is best from a woman who has been pampered and has never suffered. In addition, the woman needs to take my special heart-nourishing pills in advance. Only after taking them for seven days can her heart be used as a medicine."

"Heart-nourishing pills?"

"The heart of a woman from a wealthy family is the most delicate, but it is too small. The Yangxin Pill can quickly make her heart bigger in a short period of time. If you can use shock as an aid, so that the woman is always in great panic and shock, then her heart will continue to be filled with blood and quickly grow bigger."

Nan Rongjing frowned. A young lady from an official family would certainly meet such requirements, but where could he find an official or wealthy businessman who was willing to give his daughter to him in such a hurry?

Moreover, if this matter were to be discovered and exposed, wouldn't all the preparations he had made for so long be wasted?

So I can only look for those women who will not alarm others even if they disappear...

A figure emerged in Nan Huaishuo's mind. Who could be more suitable than her?

"Can Mr.'s medicine really achieve that effect?"

When Gu Zhi was motionless, he looked like a dead tree. Only when he moved could others tell that he was a human being. He nodded slightly and continued to explain.

"This medicine is actually a poisonous Gu, called the Drunken Gu. If you take it, you can make the person who takes it die silently at any time you want him to die, just like being drunk. The Gu worms will quickly rot and die in the body, and no one will be able to detect any abnormality. Moreover, this kind of Gu worm is very rare because of the special breeding method. I am sure that no one in the world can breed a Drunken Gu except me."

"Do many people know about this kind of Gu?"

Gu Zhi concentrated and thought seriously for a moment.

"In my humble opinion, there should be no more than three people in the Great Zhou who know about this Gu, and these three people are currently far away in Youzhou."

Nan Huaishuo nodded with satisfaction. It was indeed an assassination weapon.

Now that the second prince Nan Heying is dead, as long as the crown prince dies as well, he will be destined to inherit the throne.

But now he has little time left. The inclinations of the court officials and the nonsense spoken by Princess Lin Xuehui of Zhao on the day of his wedding have made the Queen suspicious.

Three days ago, the Queen specially summoned Nan Huaishuo.

At that time, the Queen was so worried about the Prince's illness that his hair turned white. She, who had always been graceful and dignified, suddenly aged in a short period of time. The Queen looked at the reserved Nan Huaishuo in front of her, and remembered what the Prince said to her when he was lucid for a moment.

"If Nan Huaishuo really has two hearts, it means he has been forbearing for so many years. It is enough to show that he is very cunning. I am afraid that I can't do anything to him with my current strength. Queen Mother, please don't turn against him in person. Protect yourself and support the seventh brother!"

After saying this, the prince spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into coma again.

The queen was heartbroken. She certainly knew what the prince meant. If Nan Huaishuo really had the intention to replace the prince as rumored, then he was about to do it now.

However, the series of accidents that occurred in the past year or two made the prince's illness worse and worse, and Nan Huaishuo gradually stopped pretending. During this period of time, he never stepped into the East Palace to pay a visit to the prince.

But she is the queen of the Great Zhou after all, and no matter how shrewd Nan Huaishuo is in calculating, he cannot change this fact!

The queen sat up straight and looked at Nan Huaishuo in front of her. She didn't expect that the now popular Fifth Prince was still as humble as usual.

"Huai Shuo, the prince may not have much time left."

Nan Huaishuo's face suddenly showed shock and grief, his eyes turned red and his lips trembled.

"No, my brother is a lucky man. He has survived all these years of danger, and he will definitely be able to survive this time! During this period of time, I have been reading ancient books in the mansion, looking for the secret method of prolonging life. I have already got some clues. Mother, you must let my brother hold on!"

After saying this, Nan Huaishuo actually knelt down crying, looking even more grief-stricken than the queen.

The queen's nose was sore after hearing his words and she started to cry.

Yes, after so many years, Emperor Ming was still alive and well, but her son, who was less than 30 years old, was about to pass away!

The queen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked again at Nan Huaishuo, who was lying on the ground crying uncontrollably. His sadness did not seem fake.

Could it be that what the deceased Princess Zhao Lin Xuehui said were all lies?

However, considering Nan Huaishuo's previous actions of placing people in the Ministry of War and wanting to marry Lin Yushu, the queen still has doubts about him.

"If the prince really dies, you will be my only son..."

As soon as the queen finished speaking, Nan Huaishuo stopped crying suddenly, but then he knelt down and crawled to the queen's feet, crying even louder than before, as if he had lost his parents, with tears streaming down his face.

"Mother, now that my brother is dead, I don't want to live anymore. My life was given by you and my brother. Let me die in my brother's place!!"

The Queen was moved when she saw Nan Huaishuo, who was holding her feet and crying so hard that he almost fainted.

Without the protection of the crown prince and her, the bullied Nan Huaishuo would have died in the palace as a child and would never have been where he is today.

Maybe... she and the prince were thinking too much?
