Chapter 282 Adopted as an Adopted Son
Li Yuwan and Feng Li are not from this era!
This was too strange for her, who was born and raised here.
But she quickly accepted it, after all, something incredible was happening to her.
No one knew what kind of treatment Feng Li used, but the old emperor, who had been declared beyond saving by the imperial doctors, woke up.
The first thing the old emperor saw when he woke up was Shen Zhao standing by his bed.
Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and she cried out weakly, "My dear..."
Shen Zhao hurried forward, "I am here."
The old emperor stretched out his hand tremblingly and grabbed Shen Zhao's wrist, and said with emotion:
"You risked everything to save my life. Considering your loyalty and your orphanage, I have decided to adopt you as my adopted son."
[I am on the verge of death, and only Concubine Hui and Lord Chu are trying their best to save me.
If it weren't for Concubine Hui who continued to stop that vicious woman, if it weren't for Lord Chu who was willing to risk his life for a chance to heal me.
I'm afraid I will have to meet the Li family's ancestor with regret now.
Chu Mu's life was miserable. His parents were murdered by thieves, and he was tortured for half his life by that vicious old woman. From now on, I will take care of this poor child.
The old emperor looked at Shen Zhao kindly, and the old emperor's voice had just fallen in Shen Zhao's mind.
A sound of screaming and roaring exploded in Shen Zhao's mind.
[Are you kidding me! Are you kidding me! I was the one who offered the life-saving pill, and it was Feng Li who treated him. What does this have to do with him?!
If the emperor wants to reward someone, it should be me!
Why didn’t they make me a princess, but instead adopted the man who murdered my wife as their adopted son? Ah…ah…my life-saving pills were thrown to the dogs…ah…]
[This is forcing me to become dark, twisted, and darkly crawling, screaming, and undergoing a mad persecution...]
Shen Zhao couldn't help but hear Li Yuwan's crazy voice.
She raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, but saw that Li Yuwan's eyes seemed to be emitting flames, staring at her sinisterly.
[When I become the most powerful ruler in the world, I will be the first to sacrifice you to the heavens.]
Shen Zhao simply ignored Li Yuwan and told her to wait.
The old emperor grabbed Shen Zhao's wrist and tightened his grip, "My dear, please call in the queen and the others."
Li Yuwan was once again ignored by the old emperor, and she stood up in anger.
This is too much! She and Feng Li are standing here alive, can't the Emperor see it? Since he adopted Chu Mu as his adopted son, shouldn't he also thank her and Feng Li? It seems like their efforts and medicines were all in vain!
"What does the Emperor intend to do? Does he intend to punish the Empress?"
There was a hint of disdain in Li Yuwan's tone.
The old emperor looked at Li Yuwan cautiously. Just now, when he was on the verge of death, he clearly heard the girl say that she was from the Valley of Divine Doctors.
And with just a few words, he forced the queen to give in.
This girl is no ordinary person, and he has to be wary of the power behind her.
After all, one of his good brothers is a master of both medicine and poison.
Who knows if this girl could be his descendant.
The old emperor's thoughts naturally fell into Shen Zhao's mind. She just wanted to say that you are overthinking it.
This Li Yuwan is not from this era at all.
Although the old emperor was extremely alert in his heart, he did not show it on his face.
Smiling gently, he said, "Although I was unconscious just now, I can still hear everything. It was you who saved me by offering me the precious medicine. I am deeply grateful. When I eliminate the rebels, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Li Yuwan curled her lips and said, "Is it the Queen who is trying to assassinate the Emperor this time?"
The vigilance in the old emperor's eyes became more obvious.
"The girl is smart."
Li Yuwan took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, you can't move now."
"Of course I'm smart. I know all the plots. The Queen has more than one traitor standing behind her. If the old emperor touches the Queen now, the Southern Chu Kingdom will be in chaos."
Chen Zhao's eyes flickered. She only knew that the eunuch Su beside the queen was a prince who escaped death that year.
It seems that those people are hiding very deeply.
The old emperor's eyes darkened, "What do you mean, young lady? Are you looking down on me?" The old emperor's tone carried a certain unquestionable majesty.
Li Yuwan is not afraid.
"Your Majesty, let me be frank. You underestimate your brothers. None of your seven younger brothers died back then, and even your once-arrogant sister is still alive and well. You thought your Nan Chu was impregnable, but in reality, it has long been riddled with holes. Even your descendants..."
"Enough!" Li Yuwan was still talking, but the old emperor interrupted her with a shout.
[This old fool still won't let me speak. Does he know that among all these princes and princesses, only three are his biological children. The others are the offspring of concubines and traitors. This original world is terrible enough. Many children were switched.]
Chen Zhao narrowed her eyes. She knew that Xie Yuheng was one, but she didn't know who the other two were.
The old emperor looked at Li Yuwan gloomily.
"Why does he need this woman to tell him who my biological child is? How could I not know? This woman is definitely not ordinary. She knows too many secrets, which makes me very suspicious."
It turns out that the old emperor knew everything.
Those who truly accomplish great things can endure what ordinary people cannot endure.
The old emperor passed by Li Yuwan who was about to speak and said to Chen Zhao, "My dear, call in the queen and others."
[Today, no matter what, I will kill that vicious queen to prevent future trouble.]
Li Yuwan looked at the old emperor's ruthless eyes and reminded him, "Your Majesty, it's fine if you don't believe me, but the Empress cannot be moved. If she is moved, the foundation of the country will be shaken. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can try."
[This old fool is doubting me now. The plot can't collapse now. I still have a mission to complete.]
Li Yuwan's words made the old emperor hesitate for a moment.
Shen Zhao had already stepped out of the door and walked out of the room.
She reported to the anxiously waiting Imperial Concubine Hui, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has awakened. Now summon everyone inside."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hui burst into tears of joy. She looked at Shen Zhao excitedly and said, "The emperor has woken up. General Chu has made great contributions. This palace and the emperor will definitely reward you generously."
As he spoke, he walked past the queen who was still in shock and daze and headed straight for the door.
A trace of panic flashed across the queen's face. How could this happen? She had clearly stabbed the sword into the emperor's heart and smeared poison on the sword. How could he wake up? Why didn't he die?
Eunuch Su glanced at the Queen in annoyance, already thinking of a countermeasure in his mind, and did not forget to blame the fool who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.
You dared to take action against the boss without even consulting me.
If it succeeded, it would be fine. But now that this situation has occurred, I still have to rack my brains to think of a countermeasure. I wonder how his good brothers will laugh at me!
Everyone quickly followed Concubine Hui inside, leaving only the Queen and Eunuch Su at the end.
The third prince, who had been keeping an eye on them, of course did not go in first.
Anyway, his mother has already entered, and whether he goes or not, his father will always remember the kindness between his mother and him.
Also not entering was Shen Zhao, as she had heard the Queen plotting her escape.
