Liu Linxi stayed in the capital for the past few months, and neither went to the battlefield nor to the training ground. The muscle lines on her body have faded a lot, but now she looks a bit slender, not as strong as before.
Li Yan took a cloth towel to help him wipe off the water stains on his body, and accidentally touched a sensitive part with his hand, Liu Linxi reacted slightly, but he was not embarrassed, and only looked at Li Yan with a half-smile.
"What is General Liu looking at me like that for?" Li Yan's expression was only slightly startled, and he took the coat and helped Liu Linxi put it on, without any other movements or actions.
After helping Liu Linxi put on the inner coat, Li Yan took care of himself.When he turned around, Liu Linxi reached out to wrap his arms around his waist, helped him fasten the belt of his inner coat, and hugged Li Yan's waist without letting go.
Li Yan looked at him sideways and asked, "It's time to change into wedding clothes, there are still people waiting outside."
Liu Linxi rubbed his forehead, and said, "What's wrong with me?"
"Ah?" Li Yan didn't react for a moment.
Liu Linxi asked again: "Did you suffer from some kind of disease, or was it poisoned?"
Li Yan's gaze could not help but froze immediately.
Liu Linxi hugged him tightly, and said: "I'm not a three-year-old child, nor an octogenarian. I'm not unaware of my own health. If your majesty really cares about me, tell me the truth." , I have to let the minister know how much time is left..."
Li Yan's eyes turned red, and he turned around to hug Liu Linxi, but he was speechless for a long while.
When Liu Linxi saw this, he guessed in his heart, not because he was so smart, but because Li Yan couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes from the beginning to the end.It was the first time Li Yan fell in love with a young man, and he wished he could goug out his heart and give it away. How could he be able to talk and laugh freely when his lover's life was dying?
Not to mention him, even if it was Liu Linxi, he still couldn't do it.
"It's not a disease, but a poison?" Liu Linxi asked.
Li Yan nodded, and said: "The poison is so slow that the imperial doctor didn't notice it after a few months. It's all my fault. When you were not in good health at the beginning, I should have imagined that you are a majestic general of the wind." , how heroic he was when he killed the enemy on the battlefield, how could he be so weak after arriving in the capital..."
"How much longer?" Liu Linxi asked.
"The doctor said... two months." Li Yan didn't dare to tell the half-month period, and saw that half-month passed for several days, and it was not even ten days.But he thought to himself that he was the real dragon emperor, and with his protection by his side, no matter how bad Liu Linxi's luck was, it would be impossible for Liu Linxi to only have the shortest period of half a month.
Liu Linxi let go of Li Yan, walked to the side of the couch and sat down, frowning and lost in thought.For some reason, when he knew that he was poisoned for a long time, he actually felt very calm, as if all this was not unexpected, and there was a definite plan in the dark.
He had thought about a problem before, the original owner of the original book was ambushed and killed in Tuanhe on the way back.Then he should have been living well before this, but how did he get himself into the body of the original owner?There must be an opportunity for him to replace the original owner and live, right?
Thinking about it now, maybe it was the opportunity of poisoning.
The original owner took the unsolvable poison, and in a sense he was already "dead".
Probably God wanted to give him a chance, so Liu Linxi passed into the original owner's body before he completely died. That's why Liu Linxi's memory was intermittent in those days, probably because of the poison.It's a pity that although Liu Linxi escaped Tuanhe's assassination instead of the original owner, the poison already poisoned in his body remained.
If you are doomed to die, what is the point of living this life again?
Is it just to meet Li Yan and fall in love with Li Yan?
Liu Linxi felt that things should not be like this.
Since he regained the chance to live, his way of life should not be blocked.
There must be a silver lining somewhere...
He had to find this lifeline.
For his own sake, and to prevent Li Yan from becoming a widowed emperor at a young age!
"Your Majesty, General." Su Heng said through the screen: "It's time to change clothes, the auspicious time is coming soon."
Li Yan stretched out his hand to hold Liu Linxi's hand and said, "I will definitely find a way to detoxify."
"I know." Liu Linxi held Li Yan's hand behind his back and said, "I believe that I will not die, and I believe that Your Majesty will find a way to detoxify, so today I don't want to wear this wedding dress, and I don't want to marry Your Majesty."
"General Liu..." Li Yan said anxiously.
"Since I won't die, after the poison is cured, is Your Majesty willing to have a big wedding ceremony with me again?" Liu Linxi asked.
Liu Linxi looked at Li Yan with a calm and fearless gaze, not at all disheartened. Li Yan stared at him blankly, but did not nod for a long time.
Liu Linxi knew that Li Yan was very scared. Even though he said that he would find the antidote, he still couldn't help being afraid. He was afraid that if he tried his best, he wouldn't be able to save Liu Linxi's life. If you miss today's opportunity, you will never be able to pay homage to Liu Linxi.
"Your Majesty, don't you want to take a gamble?" Liu Linxi said.
Between the so-called "two months" and a lifetime, the temptation is too great for Li Yan.Especially for Li Yan, there was no two months between them, there were only few days left, no staying together, no companionship, no big marriage, no skin-to-skin dating, no children in groups...some were just Liu Linxi After leaving, he could not see the end of the darkness and loneliness.
He wanted to bet, to bet on something that they didn't have, something that he didn't even dare to hope for.
"Your Majesty, General Liu?" Su Heng urged again from outside the screen.
Li Yan looked at Liu Linxi, the hesitation and fear in his eyes finally dissipated, and he said: "I bet, if we win, I will marry you today next year, if I lose, I will live forever... ..."
"I won't lose." Liu Linxi interrupted him.
Li Yan smiled at Liu Linxi and said, "Yes, we will not lose."
Su Heng waited outside for a while, but saw that the two of them were not wearing wedding clothes when they came out.
Li Yan said to Su Heng: "Su Heng, put away these two wedding clothes and wear them next time."
"Uh...yes." Su Heng didn't know why, but he followed his advice and carefully put away the wedding clothes.
Liu's father, Liu's mother and Liu Xiangwan had already been taken into the palace, and the queen mother had already come to wait. Unexpectedly, a few people waited in vain. The worship was not successful, and finally everyone had a family dinner together.
Although Li Yan found an excuse to explain it to the old people, but they didn't say anything on the face, and they were really unhappy in their hearts.Especially Liu's father, originally thought that the brief ceremony was a joke, but now that it was cancelled, he was even more displeased, and complained to Liu's mother before reaching the gate of the palace, saying that Li Yan's son-in-law is really unreliable, and it's fine if he doesn't get married , if they break up in the future, maybe Liu Linxi can marry another person and live a stable life.
While Mother Liu was comforting Father Liu, she was still worried about Liu Linxi's body.Since the child coughed up blood last time, as a mother, she was always flustered, but Li Yan said it was fine, so she didn't dare to ask too much, so she could only pray secretly that the imperial physician in the palace could cure Liu Linxi with good medical skills.
Along the way, only Liu Xiangwan remained silent, as if thinking about something.
Liu's father and Liu's mother were not happy here, and the queen mother was naturally not too happy. She blamed Li Yan for messing around. After tossing around for a long time, it made Liu Linxi, who was already weak, even more depressed.Li Yan listened to both good and bad words, and did not dare to refute, so he could only go to Liu Linxi to comfort himself after sending the mother away.
Liu Linxi had already taken a nap while Li Yan was being scolded, but now she was leaning against the head of the bed, her complexion recovered a lot.
Li Yan clings to him for a while, and when he thinks of the antidote, his mood darkens again in an instant.
"A few days ago, I was afraid that you were suspicious, so I never asked you." Li Yan said to Liu Linxi, "The imperial doctor said that your poison was poisoned before and after entering the palace. Did you eat or drink anything suspicious during that time?" Something given by someone? If we can find the person who poisoned it, we can find the antidote."
Liu Linxi thought about it, but had no idea.
But a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
He may not know who the poisoner is, but he knows that someone is going to kill him.According to Cheng Yuan, the man with the scar on his face that he saw in the memory of the original owner before is Li Yan's secret guard. If this person is not ordered by Li Yan, then the person behind him is really going to kill him murderer.
Now that Liu Linxi has determined to trust Li Yan, there is no need to continue to hide this matter.
"Who did you think of?" Li Yan asked expectantly.
"I did think of a person..." Liu Linxi said, "I don't know if this person poisoned my courtiers, but I have dreamed many times that this person wants to kill me."
"Dream?" Li Yan was startled when he heard this.
"Yes." Liu Linxi said: "I have dreamed many times that a man with a scar on his face wanted to kill me."
"Scar?" Li Yan was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Where is this scar?"
"From here to here." Liu Linxi made a slanted gesture on his face.
Li Yan's complexion changed suddenly when he heard the words, he got up and walked a few steps in the hall, muttering: "How could it be him?"
"Your Majesty recognizes this person?" Liu Linxi asked.
"He is..." Li Yan said, "He is my secret guard."
Liu Linxi nodded, Cheng Yuan was right.
"Strictly speaking, he is the secret guard left to me by the late emperor. There are 18 of them in total. They are all highly skilled in martial arts, especially in concealed weapons. It's just that I don't like this group of people hiding in the dark every day, so I seldom use them. " Li Yan said: "The person you are talking about is the leader of the hidden guards, named Liu Yi."
Liu Linxi frowned, thoughtful.
Li Yan hurriedly said: "I have never instructed them to kill you."
"Your Majesty knows, besides, it's just a dream, Your Majesty doesn't need to explain." Liu Linxi said.
"If you have never seen him before, how could you dream of him. Unless he appeared around you, you didn't pay attention at the time, but you remembered his appearance, so you saw him in your dream." Li Yan said.
Li Yan's explanation was reasonable, and Liu Linxi didn't need to explain why he dreamed of someone he had never seen before.
"Then in this capital, besides His Majesty, who else can drive them?" Liu Linxi asked.
"Except for Zhen..." Li Yan frowned deeply, as if caught in a great entanglement.
At this moment, Su Heng said loudly outside the hall: "Your Majesty, Second Young Master Liu is asking to see you."
"Xiang Wan?" Liu Linxi was startled, and asked, "Didn't he just leave the palace?"
Li Yan said towards the outside of the hall: "Let him in."
"Your Majesty, Second Young Master Liu has something to say to His Majesty alone." Su Heng said.
Li Yan glanced at Liu Linxi, Liu Linxi smiled at him and said, "Go, Xiang Wan knows how to measure, Your Majesty doesn't have to be so afraid of him."
"I'm not afraid of him, but I'm afraid of your overthinking." After saying that, Li Yan got up and left the inner hall.
Liu Xiangwan saluted Li Yan, and Li Yan looked at him fixedly with scrutiny on his face.
"Is brother okay?" Liu Xiangwan asked.
"It's not good." Li Yan didn't bother to hide it from him.
Liu Xiangwan nodded, as if he was not surprised by the answer.
"Brother's body is quite strong, but these days are getting weaker, so I guess it's not good." Liu Xiangwan handed over his hand to Li Yan and said, "I thought it was His Majesty's fault... I don't know what to do. How to deal with it, but seeing His Majesty looking sad today, I think I should care about my brother."
"What do you want to say?" Li Yan asked coldly.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, is your brother suffering from sudden illness or poisoning?" Liu Xiangwan asked.
Li Yan was a little surprised, but Liu Xiangwan didn't expect to ask directly.
"Poisoned." Li Yan said.
"Have you found the person who poisoned you?" Liu Xiangwan asked.
"Never." Li Yan said.
Liu Xiangwan bowed his hands to Li Yan again, and confessed: "Xiangwan is bold. I heard Mr. Cheng mention it before, saying that there are people around His Majesty who want to harm my brother. For this reason, Mr. Cheng tried many times to get my brother to leave this place. , but it has never been fulfilled. Now that I think about it, if His Majesty did not arrange that day, there must be someone else behind it. As for who it is, Xiang Wan has no way of guessing, but please Your Majesty, please remember my brother's loyalty to the country and try to save his life. "
The clues provided by Liu Xiangwan coincided with what Li Yan and Liu Linxi speculated just now.
If what Liu Xiangwan said is true, it also confirms why Cheng Yuan has been entangled with Liu Linxi so many times before.
But how did Cheng Yuan know that the people around Li Yan were not good for Liu Linxi?He never enters the palace at all on weekdays, let alone get in touch with people around Li Yan.If it was Lin Jingze, he might have overheard some news in the place of fireworks, but Cheng Yuan is a decent person, he would not go to that kind of place, nor would he make friends with messy people.
The only way for Cheng Yuan to know about this is...in the Taifu's residence.
If this matter hadn't involved the Grand Tutor, Cheng Yuan might have confessed to him long ago...
After thinking through this verse, many contradictions in Li Yan's heart were immediately clarified.
"Don't worry, your brother's life is very important to me." Li Yan said to Liu Xiangwan.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Xiangwan said and got up to leave.
After Liu Xiangwan left, Li Yan found Lu Yuzheng.
Instruct him to bring Liu Yi, the leader of the hidden guards, and at the same time go to Taifu's mansion to invite Taifu into the palace.
Half an hour later, Taifu Cheng was brought into the imperial study by Lu Yuzheng. When he saw Liu Yi kneeling on the ground, he instantly understood the purpose of being invited here today.Perhaps on the day Liu Linxi was approached by Li Yan in the palace, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.
Li Yan stood by the window with a livid face. When he saw Cheng Taifu coming in, he gave him a cold look, and said, "Liu Yi has already explained everything. He always only acts on jade cards except for my orders. Mr. Taifu The first time I took the jade card and ordered my dark guard to assassinate General Liu, is there such a thing?"
"It's true." Cheng Taifu said.
"Master Taifu, you are so courageous." Li Yan's eyes froze, and there was an undisguised hostility on his body.
Taifu Cheng was never afraid of Li Yan, but facing this student today, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.In just a few months, Li Yan has grown from a young man who was at a loss when he first came to power to a majestic emperor.
"Tell me, how did you arrange the two assassinations." Li Yan said.
"I asked Liu Yi to stab the poison into General Liu's body with a hidden weapon on the day when General Liu reported his duties and left the palace." Cheng Taifu said: "According to the toxicity of the medicine, General Liu would die that night, but for some reason he did not die."
Li Yan's brows were deeply furrowed, and he wondered why he couldn't find out who poisoned him. It turned out that the poison was pierced into Liu Linxi's body with a hidden weapon. Perhaps even Liu Linxi himself hadn't noticed it.
"The next day, I asked Liu Yi to prepare a new assassination plan, intending to intercept and kill General Liu on the banks of the Tuanhe River when he returned to the northwest." Cheng Taifu said: "Because His Majesty asked him to serve in the Tuanhe Camp, he If he dies in Tuanhe, the debt can be settled on the head of Tuanhe camp, and His Majesty can also use this as an excuse to beat Tuanhe camp."
Li Yan thought to himself, no wonder Liu Linxi was nervous every time he mentioned Tuanhe before, probably because he sensed some kind of danger.
Thinking about it now, it was probably this conspiracy that Cheng Yuan encountered.Cheng Yuan didn't know the reason, but he only knew that Liu Yi was Li Yan's secret guard, so he naturally thought that Li Yan was going to kill Liu Linxi, so he did everything possible to save Liu Linxi's life, but it was a pity that he was worried about the Taifu and didn't dare to speak out, so he didn't Instead of gaining Liu Linxi's trust, she pushed Liu Linxi further and further away.
"Good trick, Master Taifu even guessed my backhand." Li Yan laughed back angrily.
"Man is not as good as God. I never thought that the poison would be useless to General Liu, and he gave up and went back to the northwest, and was directly connected to the palace by His Majesty." Cheng Taifu smiled bitterly: "These two arrangements are superfluous." .”
If he had known that Liu Linxi would enter the palace and become Li Yan's man, why would he bother to kill Liu Linxi so deliberately.
Unexpectedly, by chance, Taifu Cheng did everything he was supposed to do, but Liu Linxi suddenly stayed in the capital and followed Li Yan directly.
Li Yan walked up to Taifu Cheng, looked at him sharply, and said coldly, "The antidote is here."
"I don't know that there is an antidote to this poison." Cheng Taifu said.
"You're lying!" Li Yan grabbed Cheng Taifu's lapel, with killing intent in his eyes, he said sharply, "Where is the antidote?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need for the old minister to hide the matter now. The old minister really doesn't know the antidote." Cheng Taifu said.
Li Yan looked at Taifu Cheng, and suddenly realized a problem that he had neglected.
If Cheng Taifu wants to drive Liu Yi, he must have a jade token as his trust. Li Yan used the jade token to drive the hidden guards, but he never gave it to anyone. How could it be in the hands of Cheng Taifu?Unless, this jade card was given by someone else!
The dark guard is the dark guard left by the late emperor, and the jade plaque is also the jade plaque left by the late emperor.
Besides Li Yan, who else would the late emperor give the jade tablet to?
There is only one possibility...
"Lu Yuzheng, someone will lock them up temporarily. You take a few people with me to the suburbs of Beijing." Li Yan said coldly, "I haven't seen the emperor for a long time, and I miss him a little. I'm going to pay a visit to his old man." trip."
Li Yan took a cloth towel to help him wipe off the water stains on his body, and accidentally touched a sensitive part with his hand, Liu Linxi reacted slightly, but he was not embarrassed, and only looked at Li Yan with a half-smile.
"What is General Liu looking at me like that for?" Li Yan's expression was only slightly startled, and he took the coat and helped Liu Linxi put it on, without any other movements or actions.
After helping Liu Linxi put on the inner coat, Li Yan took care of himself.When he turned around, Liu Linxi reached out to wrap his arms around his waist, helped him fasten the belt of his inner coat, and hugged Li Yan's waist without letting go.
Li Yan looked at him sideways and asked, "It's time to change into wedding clothes, there are still people waiting outside."
Liu Linxi rubbed his forehead, and said, "What's wrong with me?"
"Ah?" Li Yan didn't react for a moment.
Liu Linxi asked again: "Did you suffer from some kind of disease, or was it poisoned?"
Li Yan's gaze could not help but froze immediately.
Liu Linxi hugged him tightly, and said: "I'm not a three-year-old child, nor an octogenarian. I'm not unaware of my own health. If your majesty really cares about me, tell me the truth." , I have to let the minister know how much time is left..."
Li Yan's eyes turned red, and he turned around to hug Liu Linxi, but he was speechless for a long while.
When Liu Linxi saw this, he guessed in his heart, not because he was so smart, but because Li Yan couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes from the beginning to the end.It was the first time Li Yan fell in love with a young man, and he wished he could goug out his heart and give it away. How could he be able to talk and laugh freely when his lover's life was dying?
Not to mention him, even if it was Liu Linxi, he still couldn't do it.
"It's not a disease, but a poison?" Liu Linxi asked.
Li Yan nodded, and said: "The poison is so slow that the imperial doctor didn't notice it after a few months. It's all my fault. When you were not in good health at the beginning, I should have imagined that you are a majestic general of the wind." , how heroic he was when he killed the enemy on the battlefield, how could he be so weak after arriving in the capital..."

Liu Linxi felt that things should not be like this.
Since he regained the chance to live, his way of life should not be blocked.
There must be a silver lining somewhere...
He had to find this lifeline.
For his own sake, and to prevent Li Yan from becoming a widowed emperor at a young age!
"Your Majesty, General." Su Heng said through the screen: "It's time to change clothes, the auspicious time is coming soon."
Li Yan stretched out his hand to hold Liu Linxi's hand and said, "I will definitely find a way to detoxify."

"I won't lose." Liu Linxi interrupted him.
Li Yan smiled at Liu Linxi and said, "Yes, we will not lose."
Su Heng waited outside for a while, but saw that the two of them were not wearing wedding clothes when they came out.
Li Yan said to Su Heng: "Su Heng, put away these two wedding clothes and wear them next time."
"Uh...yes." Su Heng didn't know why, but he followed his advice and carefully put away the wedding clothes.
Liu's father, Liu's mother and Liu Xiangwan had already been taken into the palace, and the queen mother had already come to wait. Unexpectedly, a few people waited in vain. The worship was not successful, and finally everyone had a family dinner together.

"Then in this capital, besides His Majesty, who else can drive them?" Liu Linxi asked.
"Except for Zhen..." Li Yan frowned deeply, as if caught in a great entanglement.
At this moment, Su Heng said loudly outside the hall: "Your Majesty, Second Young Master Liu is asking to see you."
"Xiang Wan?" Liu Linxi was startled, and asked, "Didn't he just leave the palace?"
Li Yan said towards the outside of the hall: "Let him in."
"Your Majesty, Second Young Master Liu has something to say to His Majesty alone." Su Heng said.
Li Yan glanced at Liu Linxi, Liu Linxi smiled at him and said, "Go, Xiang Wan knows how to measure, Your Majesty doesn't have to be so afraid of him."

Liu Xiangwan saluted Li Yan, and Li Yan looked at him fixedly with scrutiny on his face.
"Is brother okay?" Liu Xiangwan asked.
"It's not good." Li Yan didn't bother to hide it from him.
Liu Xiangwan nodded, as if he was not surprised by the answer.
"Brother's body is quite strong, but these days are getting weaker, so I guess it's not good." Liu Xiangwan handed over his hand to Li Yan and said, "I thought it was His Majesty's fault... I don't know what to do. How to deal with it, but seeing His Majesty looking sad today, I think I should care about my brother."
"What do you want to say?" Li Yan asked coldly.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, is your brother suffering from sudden illness or poisoning?" Liu Xiangwan asked.
Li Yan was a little surprised, but Liu Xiangwan didn't expect to ask directly.
"Poisoned." Li Yan said.
"Have you found the person who poisoned you?" Liu Xiangwan asked.
"Never." Li Yan said.
Liu Xiangwan bowed his hands to Li Yan again, and confessed: "Xiangwan is bold. I heard Mr. Cheng mention it before, saying that there are people around His Majesty who want to harm my brother. For this reason, Mr. Cheng tried many times to get my brother to leave this place. , but it has never been fulfilled. Now that I think about it, if His Majesty did not arrange that day, there must be someone else behind it. As for who it is, Xiang Wan has no way of guessing, but please Your Majesty, please remember my brother's loyalty to the country and try to save his life. "
The clues provided by Liu Xiangwan coincided with what Li Yan and Liu Linxi speculated just now.
If what Liu Xiangwan said is true, it also confirms why Cheng Yuan has been entangled with Liu Linxi so many times before.
But how did Cheng Yuan know that the people around Li Yan were not good for Liu Linxi?He never enters the palace at all on weekdays, let alone get in touch with people around Li Yan.If it was Lin Jingze, he might have overheard some news in the place of fireworks, but Cheng Yuan is a decent person, he would not go to that kind of place, nor would he make friends with messy people.
The only way for Cheng Yuan to know about this is...in the Taifu's residence.
If this matter hadn't involved the Grand Tutor, Cheng Yuan might have confessed to him long ago...
After thinking through this verse, many contradictions in Li Yan's heart were immediately clarified.
"Don't worry, your brother's life is very important to me." Li Yan said to Liu Xiangwan.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Xiangwan said and got up to leave.
After Liu Xiangwan left, Li Yan found Lu Yuzheng.
Instruct him to bring Liu Yi, the leader of the hidden guards, and at the same time go to Taifu's mansion to invite Taifu into the palace.
Half an hour later, Taifu Cheng was brought into the imperial study by Lu Yuzheng. When he saw Liu Yi kneeling on the ground, he instantly understood the purpose of being invited here today.Perhaps on the day Liu Linxi was approached by Li Yan in the palace, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.
Li Yan stood by the window with a livid face. When he saw Cheng Taifu coming in, he gave him a cold look, and said, "Liu Yi has already explained everything. He always only acts on jade cards except for my orders. Mr. Taifu The first time I took the jade card and ordered my dark guard to assassinate General Liu, is there such a thing?"
"It's true." Cheng Taifu said.
"Master Taifu, you are so courageous." Li Yan's eyes froze, and there was an undisguised hostility on his body.
Taifu Cheng was never afraid of Li Yan, but facing this student today, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.In just a few months, Li Yan has grown from a young man who was at a loss when he first came to power to a majestic emperor.
"Tell me, how did you arrange the two assassinations." Li Yan said.
"I asked Liu Yi to stab the poison into General Liu's body with a hidden weapon on the day when General Liu reported his duties and left the palace." Cheng Taifu said: "According to the toxicity of the medicine, General Liu would die that night, but for some reason he did not die."
Li Yan's brows were deeply furrowed, and he wondered why he couldn't find out who poisoned him. It turned out that the poison was pierced into Liu Linxi's body with a hidden weapon. Perhaps even Liu Linxi himself hadn't noticed it.
"The next day, I asked Liu Yi to prepare a new assassination plan, intending to intercept and kill General Liu on the banks of the Tuanhe River when he returned to the northwest." Cheng Taifu said: "Because His Majesty asked him to serve in the Tuanhe Camp, he If he dies in Tuanhe, the debt can be settled on the head of Tuanhe camp, and His Majesty can also use this as an excuse to beat Tuanhe camp."
Li Yan thought to himself, no wonder Liu Linxi was nervous every time he mentioned Tuanhe before, probably because he sensed some kind of danger.
Thinking about it now, it was probably this conspiracy that Cheng Yuan encountered.Cheng Yuan didn't know the reason, but he only knew that Liu Yi was Li Yan's secret guard, so he naturally thought that Li Yan was going to kill Liu Linxi, so he did everything possible to save Liu Linxi's life, but it was a pity that he was worried about the Taifu and didn't dare to speak out, so he didn't Instead of gaining Liu Linxi's trust, she pushed Liu Linxi further and further away.
"Good trick, Master Taifu even guessed my backhand." Li Yan laughed back angrily.
"Man is not as good as God. I never thought that the poison would be useless to General Liu, and he gave up and went back to the northwest, and was directly connected to the palace by His Majesty." Cheng Taifu smiled bitterly: "These two arrangements are superfluous." .”
If he had known that Liu Linxi would enter the palace and become Li Yan's man, why would he bother to kill Liu Linxi so deliberately.
Unexpectedly, by chance, Taifu Cheng did everything he was supposed to do, but Liu Linxi suddenly stayed in the capital and followed Li Yan directly.
Li Yan walked up to Taifu Cheng, looked at him sharply, and said coldly, "The antidote is here."
"I don't know that there is an antidote to this poison." Cheng Taifu said.
"You're lying!" Li Yan grabbed Cheng Taifu's lapel, with killing intent in his eyes, he said sharply, "Where is the antidote?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need for the old minister to hide the matter now. The old minister really doesn't know the antidote." Cheng Taifu said.
Li Yan looked at Taifu Cheng, and suddenly realized a problem that he had neglected.
If Cheng Taifu wants to drive Liu Yi, he must have a jade token as his trust. Li Yan used the jade token to drive the hidden guards, but he never gave it to anyone. How could it be in the hands of Cheng Taifu?Unless, this jade card was given by someone else!
The dark guard is the dark guard left by the late emperor, and the jade plaque is also the jade plaque left by the late emperor.
Besides Li Yan, who else would the late emperor give the jade tablet to?
There is only one possibility...
"Lu Yuzheng, someone will lock them up temporarily. You take a few people with me to the suburbs of Beijing." Li Yan said coldly, "I haven't seen the emperor for a long time, and I miss him a little. I'm going to pay a visit to his old man." trip."
