After Han Lie said this, he became even more breathless.
Jiang quickly picked up the cup and fed him half a cup of tea. Only then did Han Lie feel better.
Yao Jinse's eyes were red, and she twisted her handkerchief in her hands, looking completely bewildered. "Dad, that poison definitely wasn't given by Emperor Chaozong. He still relies on you to gain a foothold in the court and develop his own power. Why would he want to poison you?!"
"Dad, you've lived in political intrigue for half your life, how could you not understand this? Let's investigate the poisoning again..."
Before Yao Jinse could finish her words, Jiang's voice came over.
"Jinse, stop defending Liang Chaozong! He's ruthless and will stop at nothing to restore his country. Don't you know his methods?"
Jiang looked at Yao Jinse with a serious expression, but a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
The panic in his eyes was just caught by Xia Miaoyuan.
[Hmph, the old witch is feeling guilty. She's afraid that if the poisoning is investigated, it might lead back to her.]
Jiang's voice continued, "He wanted to rely on your father, but now he has relied on his good looks to get close to the Empress Dowager. He has become the Empress Dowager's favorite male concubine! As long as he is favored, he will never worry about not getting power in the future!"
Yao Jinse's eyes were filled with tears, and she cried, "Mother, let's investigate the poison again..."
"Enough!" Jiang shouted angrily, with a cold light in his eyes.
Yao Jinse was frightened by her mother's sharp gaze and swallowed back the words she had not finished speaking.
"Have you forgotten what Liang Chaozong did when he first entered Dai Viet to get your father to help him wholeheartedly?!"
"He actually sent assassins to kill your father's only son!" Jiang's tone was a little crazy.
Yao Jinse looked at Jiang in disbelief.
Of course she knew that Liang Chaozong had sent people to kill Han Lie's son with his wife.
When Liang Chaozong killed Han Lie's son, they were also happy to see it. The death of Han Lie's only son with his wife was not necessarily a bad thing for them.
Regarding this matter, the mother and daughter had an unspoken understanding, which was to keep it a secret and not tell Han Lie a single word.
But she never expected that today, her mother would suddenly go crazy and tell Han Lie about this matter.
"You...what did you say?!" Han Lie pointed at Jiang, his tone difficult.
Jiang quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looking extremely regretful.
"Changqing, I...I said something out of turn..." Jiang hurriedly hugged the emotional Han Lie in her arms, stroking his chest again and again to help him calm down.
"Changqing, I'm also responsible for this. Back then, Liang Chaozong killed Han Jie without telling us. When I found out about this, I was furious. I wanted to tell you, but Liang Chaozong begged me desperately. I softened my heart and...hid it for him."
Han Lie covered his chest, coughed painfully, and couldn't utter a word.
After coughing for a while, Han Lie spat out a mouthful of blood with a "puff" sound.
[Oh my god, this old witch is really crazy. In order to hide the fact that she poisoned someone, she even revealed that Liang Chaozong killed Han Jie.]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, old man Han Lie is so angry he's spitting blood. His life, which was already short, is now even shorter.]
Looking at the private room next door, Jiang's mother and daughter were busy wiping Han Lie's mouth and patting his back.
"What are you standing there for? Go get medicine for your father!" Jiang urged.
Yao Jinse hurriedly found a medicine bottle, poured out a few pills, and fed them to Han Lie.
After taking the medicine, Han Lie's breathing finally became more stable.
This medicine was prescribed by the Imperial Hospital, specifically to save the lives of seriously ill people.
"Your mother is right!" Han Lie said with all his strength.
"To achieve his goal, he could kill his brother-in-law, and naturally he could also kill his father-in-law. Besides, he didn't even consider you his wife. Now he has abandoned you."
"Why are you so stubborn?!"
Han Lie looked at his daughter with disappointment in his eyes.
Yao Jinse was already in tears.
"Jinse, tell me what trick Liang Chaozong used to disguise himself. I want to expose him in front of the Empress Dowager!"
Yao Jinse looked at her father embarrassedly, then turned her face away to avoid her father's gaze.
Jiang said earnestly, "Jinse, tell your father quickly! Now, our family of three must stand together!"
Yao Jinse just wiped her tears, lowered her head and said nothing.
Han Lie said impatiently: "Jinse! Why don't you tell me!"
Yao Jinse slowly raised her head and cried, "Can you please stop forcing me..."
"I don't believe it. He doesn't want me anymore. He said that when the country is restored, he will be the emperor and I will be the empress."
Han Lie sighed heavily, "Forget it!"
After saying that, he stood up with difficulty and walked out.
Jiang supported Han Lie with concern and turned back to glare at her daughter fiercely.
Immediately, Jiang and Han Lie left the box.
In the box, Yao Jinse was already crying.
Thinking back to the beginning, she, Yao Jinse, traveled through time from modern society, intending to make full use of her modern knowledge to shine and make a difference in this backward fictional era.
After many hardships, she got together with the prince of the former Liang Dynasty, and tried her best to help Liang Chaozong make money and work hard to realize the great cause of restoring the country.
Just as his great cause was about to be accomplished, he unexpectedly suffered a heavy blow. On the way to escape, he met the original owner's biological father and thought he had found a close ally. However, he did not expect that Liang Chaozong would secretly get close to the Queen Mother of Dai Viet.
She really couldn't understand how she had ended up like this.
Xia Miaoyuan observed Yao Jinse. [Although Yao Jinse hadn't told Han Lie the secret of Liang Chaozong's disguise, after what had just happened, her mental defenses must have been on the verge of breaking down.]
[I'm going to give it a try. So, I'm going to be frank and talk to her today.]
When the second prince heard his sister's words, he shuddered.
Just as he was about to pick up his sister, Xia Miaoyuan said, "Yao Jinse, let's talk!"
Although the voice was childish, the tone was serious.
For a moment, the air in the box seemed to stagnate.
The second prince was so shocked that he stood there in a daze, and Yao Jinse looked around in confusion.
"I'm here, wait a moment!" Xia Miaoyuan said again.
After that, she found the secret door in the wall and pushed it down with force.
Xia Miaoyuan had already recognized that this was the Jinyulou where he had been before, where Yue Haoyun was the boss behind the scenes.
She had seen the secret door on the wall of this box before, and today she found it by imitating it.
With a creaking sound, the secret door opened and Yao Jinse was exposed on the other side of the secret door.
In an instant, Yao Jinse was so frightened that her face turned pale and even her tears stopped.
"You are...you..." She pointed at Xia Miaoyuan and the second prince, so shocked that she couldn't utter a word.
