Xiao Zhi also raised his glass quickly: "Thank you so much for your love, father, and for entrusting this thousand-pound burden to your son. I will live up to your father's trust, manage the country well, and revive the national prestige of our country, Yunyan!" Xiao Zhi is also shameless enough. Yes, he was clearly usurping the throne, and he said it so grandly. If an outsider didn't know better, they would have thought it was a normal handover from father to son.
All the ministers raised their glasses. She Jingyan's eyes never left Xi Ruoxuan. This woman was actually sitting here. What did Xiao Tielong mean? How did he know that Xiao Tielong was unsure and asked Xi Ruoxuan to sit here and gain courage.
Although Xiruoxuan knew that She Jingyan was sitting diagonally across from him, he pretended not to know him. This person was too insidious. If he could avoid provoking him, he would not do so. The main target we deal with tonight is Xiao Zhi, but since you are here, wait. I'll inevitably reward you with a glass of poisoned wine.
After three drinks and five dishes, Xiao Tielong turned his attention to Xiruoxuan. Xiruoxuan understood immediately that he was asking for my opinion! Xiruoxuan nodded slightly, and Xiao Tielong immediately said: "I am happy today, so I will bring up the good wine that I have treasured for many years!"
The eunuchs responsible for poisoning immediately understood that this was an order from the emperor! The two eunuchs hurried into the hall each holding a jar of wine. Xiao Tielong had agreed with these two eunuchs in advance that the ones sitting on the left were my ministers, and the ones on the right were Xiao Zhi's subordinates. The person responsible for serving the poisoned wine naturally stands on the right, while the one on the left who pours the wine is naturally holding fine wine.
Maybe the poisoned eunuch was too nervous. He was holding the poisoned wine in his hand and his calf was a little weak. When he was pouring wine for She Jingyan, he actually spilled it. She Jingyan was a sensitive person, and he saw something was wrong. After the eunuchs had finished pouring the wine, She Jingyan suddenly came out. He cupped his hands towards Xiao Zhi and Xiao Tielong: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, I just heard a rumor outside that the Supreme Emperor is going to poison some of us today. Some even say that the Supreme Emperor is going to poison some of us today." I want to poison the emperor, but I don’t believe it, not at all.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the house was shocked, and Xiao Tielong's expression changed drastically: "Nonsense, some thief said this, if I knew it, I would definitely kill him!"
She Jingyan chuckled: "Let me tell you, the Supreme Emperor will not harm his own flesh and blood, right? The Supreme Emperor?"
"That's natural." Xiao Tielong said insincerely.
"Although the Supreme Emperor has said this, we are not sure at all. Why don't we exchange the wines between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, and exchange the wines from our side with theirs? That way everyone can feel at ease!"
When Xi Ruoxuan heard this, he wished he could hit him with a dart, and everything that was about to succeed was ruined by him messing up the situation like this. Xiao Zhi also calmed down at this moment: "Yes, yes, everyone, exchange it, so that everyone can feel at ease." After Xiao Zhi said this, he immediately exchanged wine glasses with Xiao Tielong.
Xiao Tielong was furious. This, this young master who came out of nowhere actually ruined my important event. However, even now that the matter was over, he couldn't attack because he still had a backup plan. Xiao Tielong's poisonous wine is a chronic poisonous wine. It won't cause immediate pain after drinking it. It will take half an hour before the stomachache starts. Therefore, he arranged a back-up move. If the other party doesn't fall into the trap, we will also drink poisonous wine, and then everyone will drink it together. The antidote is in my hand. See if I don't kill you. This is because Xi Ruoxuan gave Xiao Tielong a bad idea, and also Seems like a foolproof idea.
When She Jingyan saw that Xiao Zhi and Xiao Tielong had exchanged drinks, he naturally came over to exchange drinks with Xi Ruoxuan. She Jingyan hated Xi Ruoxuan so much that while changing the wine, he secretly poured the poisonous cup he was carrying into his own wine glass. She Jingyan said to herself, I don't care if the wine is poisonous or not, you Xi Ruoxuan is dead. As long as you drink my wine, you will never survive.
Xiruoxuan looked at She Jingyan and said, "I didn't expect that the young master would be here too. It's been a long time."
She Jingyan put the wine glass in front of Xi Ruoxuan: "I'm sorry, the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor have both changed the wine, so we should also change the wine, so that everyone can feel at ease."
Xi Ruoxuan naturally did not refuse, because once he refused, the matter would be revealed: "Okay! There is nothing wrong with this wine at all. It doesn't matter whether I change it or not."
Sitting aside, Quan Langyu was also busy. He picked up She Jingyan's wine glass and drank: "I'll do it, I'll do it!" Quan Langyu was also too concerned about Xi Ruoxuan. He was afraid that the wine was poisonous, so he drank it first. . This disrupted She Jingyan's plan. He originally wanted to poison Xi Ruoxuan to death, but why did this silly prince snatch it away and drink it. After all, She Jingyan is She Jingyan, and he has a lot of clever ideas: "My lord, what are you in a hurry for? If you want to change it, everyone has to change it. Don't you need to change the cup of the heroine?"
She Jingyan turned around and brought a glass of poisoned wine from the minister on the right. He poured the poisoned cup into the cup again and said, "Don't refuse this glass of wine, Heroine!"
Xiruo Xuanxin said who am I afraid of? We have the antidote in our hands. It doesn't matter if I drink three cups. Xi Ruoxuan took the glass and started drinking. She Jingyan looked at Xi Ruoxuan with satisfaction. You stinky bitch, you killed three hundred of my brothers. Today I will demand repayment of your blood debt.
The wine was also changed, and everyone felt relieved. Xiao Tielong once again ordered the wine to be served. This time, the wine served was poisonous wine. Since he had just drank it, there was no harm in drinking more. So both parties opened their bellies and drank. Xiao Tielong watched Xiao Zhi drink the poisoned wine, and his heart skipped a beat. Do I really want to kill my biological son? Xiao Tielong was extremely conflicted.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour later, Xiao Tielong started to have an attack first, and he felt severe pain in his stomach. Xiao Tielong knew that the poison was starting to work. He quickly stood up and went to the back hall, saying that he was in a hurry. The eunuchs had already taken out the antidote, and Xiao Tielong took it immediately, and soon the symptoms gradually disappeared.
Xiao Tielong had just recovered, and the ministers in the hall began to have fits, especially the generals brought by Xiao Zhi. They held their stomachs and looked at Xiao Zhi in horror, thinking that there was something wrong with this wine! Xiao Zhi also felt that something was wrong, but it was too late at this time. He covered his stomach and cried loudly: "Father, why are you so cruel? I am your own flesh and blood!"
Xiao Tielong heard his son's cry in the back room, and his heart softened: "Come here, go and help His Highness here!"
The eunuchs also advised: "Your Majesty, you can't let the tiger go back to the mountain!"
Xiao Tielong waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense. I know what's appropriate. I will immediately call a few warriors and tie up Xiao Zhi after he takes the antidote."
The eunuchs then went out to help Xiao Zhi in. The generals who came with Xiao Zhi were lying on the ground with their hands on their stomachs. Some of them were foaming at the mouth and could not care about their master at all.
Xiao Zhi staggered into the back hall and saw Xiao Tielong sitting there, looking at him angrily. He fell to his knees with a thud and shouted for mercy.
"Father, I am confused! For the sake of your mother, please spare my life! Father, please give me the antidote! I promise, Your Majesty, I am not worthy of my honour. I am willing to be a common man." Ordinary people, father and emperor, I beg you, ah..."
Xiao Tielong was indeed a kind king. He couldn't bear to see his son in such pain. He waved his hand and said, "Give him the antidote."
The eunuch immediately sent over the antidote, and Xiao Zhi couldn't wait to take it. As soon as he took the antidote, several warriors came over and tied him up.
"Father, why did you tie me up?" Xiao Zhi asked in surprise.
Xiao Tielong said angrily: "You still don't know you were wrong? First you and Xiao Yong forced me to run away, and I hid here. You still don't let me go, and you still want to come to force me to marry you. You still haven't done anything yet." Don’t you know the crime?”
"I know my crime, I know my crime!" Xiao Zhi had no choice but to plead guilty at this time.
At this time, a eunuch came in: "Your Majesty, the ministers outside have been poisoned. Do you want to give them the antidote?"
Xiao Tielong nodded: "Of course, why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and send out the antidote!"
"Your Majesty, those people brought by His Highness, are you going to ignore them?"
Xiao Tielong said angrily: "Nonsense, those treacherous officials and traitors will die one by one. What do you care about what they do!"
"Yes!" The two eunuchs took the antidote and went out.
The hall at this time was miserable. Whether they were generals or ministers, they were lying on the ground one by one, holding their stomachs with their hands and struggling in pain. The eunuchs naturally knew who were their own, and they delivered the antidote to them one by one. After taking the antidote, these people slowly recovered. Poor Xiao Zhi's men, they were still struggling on the verge of death. They cried in pain: "Give me, give me the antidote."
But the two eunuchs paid no attention to them and watched them struggling in pain. She Jingyan was no exception. He was also made of flesh and blood, so poison would naturally be effective on him. She Jingyan clutched her stomach, cold sweat dripping down her face. I fell into the trap. This Xiao Tielong is so cunning. He actually used such a painful trick and deceived us all. What should I do? Am I, She Jingyan, just going to die here in a daze like this? Suddenly, he saw Xi Ruoxuan and Kuang Langyu, and hope for life arose in his heart. These two people have been poisoned by me, and only my antidote can save them, which means I still have a chance to exchange the antidote with them. "
Sure enough, after Xi Ruoxuan and Kuang Langyu took the antidote given by the eunuch, it had no effect. They still held their stomachs with painful expressions on their faces. The two eunuchs were frightened and quickly reported Xiao Tielong. Xiao Tielong was shocked and thought it was impossible! A few of us are fine after taking the antidote, what's going on with you two!
Xiao Tielong ran out in a hurry, but after asking for a long time, Xi Ruoxuan and Kuang Langyu couldn't give an explanation. Just when they were at a loss, She Jingyan spoke: "Haha, do you want to know what's going on?"
When Xiao Tielong heard this, he looked at She Jingyan strangely: "Why, do you know what's going on?"
"What's going on, huh, these two people were also poisoned by my poison!" She Jingyan said with difficulty, but a proud smile appeared on his face.
