Chapter 171 The Emperor is Poisoned



Qiao Yuange and Xiao Yun both knew clearly in their hearts that he had been poisoned a long time ago, but others didn't know it after all.

Xiao Yun also pretended to be startled and said tremblingly: "I... don't know why... I was poisoned. Is this... the poison that General Shu was poisoned with before?"

Xiao Yuli quickly came over and lowered his head to look at the wound. He didn't know what he felt in his heart, but he still pretended to be very distressed and said, "It was indeed General Shu's poison, but wasn't it someone from the enemy country who poisoned you? How did it get to you? Could it be that this wasn't someone from the enemy country who poisoned you?"

Although Xiao Yuli hoped that Xiao Yun would die, he did not want someone to attack Xiao Yun suddenly because he did not know why the other party attacked Xiao Yun.

Is it also for the throne?

The other person first poisoned General Shu to death, and now he can poison the emperor without anyone knowing, which proves that this person has powerful abilities.

Then all the little actions that Xiao Yuli performed in front of this person at this moment must have been as ridiculous and childish as a child playing house.

Xiao Yuli is determined to obtain the throne, and the other party obviously has the same goal. Then the enemy Xiao Yuli has to face may not just be Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yuli raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yun.

This emperor used to be a fearless man who was always looking for death.

Now, after being poisoned, he was trembling with fear. What did this mean? It meant that he had someone he liked, that he knew the sweetness of love, that he loved Qiao Yuange too much and couldn't bear to let himself die.

People are like this. They may cry out for death at first, but when death really approaches, they want to live more than anyone else.

Xiao Liang was so frightened that he stood up immediately, clasped his hands tightly together, and said to himself: "What should I do? What should I do?"

He seemed to have thought of something, and shouted to the outside: "Find the imperial physician, call all the imperial physicians over!"

Xiao Yuli was more calm, and said to Xiao Liang: "After General Shu was poisoned before, we actually knew how to treat this poison, but we never found the Tianshan Snow Lotus. Where can we find the Tianshan Snow Lotus now?"

Qiao Yuange already knew that Xiao Yun had been poisoned, but after confirming it this time, his eyes still became moist.

Xiao Yuli was originally puzzled. Could it be that Xiao Yun had no idea that he was poisoned?

But when he saw Qiao Yuange's expression, Xiao Yuli believed it immediately.

At this moment, Qiao Yuange suddenly thought of something. This was a good opportunity!

She turned to Xiao Yuli and said, "Cousin, do you know that to cure this poison, we need Tianshan Snow Lotus? My father once had a snow lotus at my second aunt's place. Can you take it back?"

Xiao Yuli took a breath, stared at Qiao Yuange, and opened his mouth.

Qiao Yuange, you are such a jerk!

Are you doing this on purpose or are you pretending?

Is it possible to give away your own baby for Xiao Yun?

Why?

Xiao Yuli gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what Xuelian and Second Aunt are?"

Qiao Yuange smiled in her heart. She repeated, "You don't know that it's natural, because this snow lotus was prepared by my father for my mother. Before he used it, my father passed away, and my mother followed him."

"No one was willing to adopt me back then, so my second aunt adopted me, and naturally took my parents' things as well."

"Over the years, I have never asked my second aunt for anything, but this matter is of great importance, so please ask my cousin to talk to my second aunt."

Xiao Yuli was already starting to get annoyed.

If he didn't go, Xiao Yun would definitely become suspicious. After all, Xiao Yun already knew that he was going to attack him.

If he could take out the snow lotus to show his determination at this time, Xiao Yun would trust him.

But...that's snow lotus!

General Shu was poisoned and died. It is said that this poison is very strong.

As long as Xiao Yun is not detoxified, he will die sooner or later. How could he miss such a good opportunity?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, but he couldn't show it yet.

He asked, "How do you know your father once got snow lotus?"

When Qiao Yuange saw Xiao Yuli's attitude, he immediately glanced at Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun raised his eyes, but still pretended to be nervous and scared.

Then Qiao Yuange said, "Cousin, how I know this is not important. You can go back and discuss this with my second aunt. It would be better to give her more money."

"If I wait until I become the queen and then tell her, it won't be the same."

Xiao Yuli said this while Qiao Yuange was hinting at him.

Now Qiao Yuange could speak to Xiao Yuli in a very nice tone, that was Qiao Yuange giving face to her second aunt.

But if Qiao Yuange becomes the queen and then goes to her second aunt to ask for it, that would be terrible.

Xiao Yuli lowered his head, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I understand."

Compared to the nervousness and fear at the beginning, Qiao Yuange has become a completely different person.

She said to Xiao Yuli: "I don't care how much my father gave to my second aunt, but some of these things saved lives, and they saved the emperor, so I must take them back."

"Cousin, I'm taking back my things, this shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

Xiao Yuli nodded: "Yes."

That afternoon, Qiao Yuange had changed into a set of clean and plain clothes.

She was originally extremely beautiful, but wearing plain clothes could somewhat suppress her beauty.

Her things have already been sent to Qinyan Palace.

However, Xiao Yun only sent some unimportant things over.

After becoming a county magistrate, Qiao Yuange was rewarded with a few maids, but she was still used to being alone and didn't like anyone following her, so she went to the reception room at the side door by herself.

In the reception room, the second aunt came this time and brought Fang Yuan with her as usual.

Fang Yuan now lives in the palace. She has to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager and the Concubine Dowager every day, and she also has to take care of the women in her courtyard who were given to Xiao Yuli by the Emperor.

Although she felt uncomfortable, there was nothing she could do.

Ever since she married Xiao Yuli, Xiao Yuli has never looked at her straight in the eye again.

Of course, what is even more speechless is that after she got married, Xiao Yuli never entered her room once and never ate with her.

Although she was Xiao Yuli's legal wife, she was not treated as a legal wife should be.

Xiao Yuli only let her sit in the position of the main wife and take care of these women, and she could forget about any other so-called favors.

Although she knew that she and Xiao Yuli had no feelings for each other, she did not feel sorry for this man.
