Chapter 287: The Drunk Monster Presents a Treasure
Princess Mingzhu was not intimidated by Empress Dowager Yan's words. Instead, she grabbed Empress Dowager Yan's wrist and said, "Mother, you are sick again. How about I ask the old wine monster to come and see you?"
Empress Dowager Yan shuddered suddenly and shouted, "How dare you! I am your mother! You unfilial daughter, you actually walked with your arm twisted! When I enter the palace, I will order that everything you have as the eldest princess be taken away from you!"
Princess Mingzhu shook her head in disappointment. She didn't expect that her mother was still so stubborn until today. No matter who was in power, she would not let her mother have the opportunity to rule the country from behind the scenes and hold the power!
And if it still belongs to Emperor Liang, then he and Jiacheng will definitely not have a good ending. Only when the world changes its owner can he and Jiacheng have a chance to survive!
At the same time, Lin Xiaoyue ran quickly and found the drunkard standing in the crowd.
"Dad, do you have any medicine to control people?" Lin Xiaoyue leaned close to the drunkard's ear and asked in a low voice.
Jiu Laoguai didn't expect that Lin Xiaoyue would encounter problems before she left, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong? How do you need to control it?"
Lin Xiaoyue dragged the drunkard to a deserted spot and explained, "The Queen Mother just sobered up a bit and said something unfavorable to Brother Liang. I'm afraid she'll continue her nonsense when she gets to the capital, so I'm wondering if I can use medicine to silence her while keeping her awake and energetic."
The drunkard took out a small box from his arms and said, "There's a poisonous insect in it. Put it on the Queen Mother and it will enter her body. That way, even in Yangming Town, I can control her dishonest mouth and brain!"
Lin Xiaoyue took the brocade box and said happily, "There is such a wonderful treasure! Thank you, Dad. You must take good care of yourself when I'm not around!"
The old wine freak nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead!"
At this time, the old woman who had previously been to the old drunkard for treatment and her son came over.
"Ms. Lin, don't worry. We will help you solve the problem of food for everyone here. The villagers will come with food soon." The old woman held Lin Xiaoyue's hand and said excitedly.
Lin Xiaoyue knew that the villagers in Yangming Town had always misunderstood Brother Liang’s army. How could they be willing to help Brother Liang?
"Auntie, is this true? How did you tell the villagers?" Lin Xiaoyue asked puzzledly.
The old woman pulled her son in front of Lin Xiaoyue and said, "Someone was deliberately slandering you before, so Zhong'er went door to door to explain. At first, the villagers refused to believe him. Zhong'er said that his illness was cured by your father and he didn't even ask for money. Later, when they saw that Zhong'er could run and jump, and even chop wood and fetch water, they believed him."
Lin Xiaoyue was surprised, but even more moved, "Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Brother!"
The old woman shook her head and said, "What's the big deal? If it weren't for you and your father, Zhong'er might have died! We should be thanking you. Miss Lin, go ahead and don't worry. We'll be here to help!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you! I'll be leaving first!"
At this time, the Tiger Roar Army was advancing majestically like a long dragon!
Lin Xiaoyue ran to the front of the team and finally found Princess Mingzhu and Queen Mother Yan. "I'm back."
Princess Mingzhu nodded in Empress Dowager Yan's direction and asked cautiously, "You're back. How are you? Is your stomach still hurting?"
Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm fine now."
Empress Dowager Yan listened attentively the entire time and said coldly, "Did you go to inform the authorities? You have a stomachache right after you set out. How could I be so unconvinced?"
Lin Xiaoyue was not angry at all. She suddenly had an idea and walked to the side of Queen Mother Yan and said, "Since the Queen Mother doesn't believe me, then I will stand beside her."
Empress Dowager Yan also had this intention, because if Lin Xiaoyue stood on her side, then she could find an opportunity to make things difficult for her, making Liang Jingyao completely hate Lin Xiaoyue and drive her away!
Lin Xiaoyue is such a smart girl. As long as Liang Jingyao loses this helper, he will not be as powerful as he is now. Then she can work hard to lobby Prince Rong, and it will be no problem for her to rule the country from behind the scenes in the future!
The entire Dongsui Kingdom must listen to me!
"Hmph, you're such a silver-tongued person! Even if I stand till my death, I won't believe you!" Empress Dowager Yan snorted coldly.
Lin Xiaoyue chuckled and said, "Yes, I will definitely be able to prove my innocence!"
At this time, a strong wind blew up, bringing up the mud and sand on the ground, and the army's advance stopped. Many people couldn't help but cover their faces with their hands, Empress Dowager Yan was one of them, but Lin Xiaoyue was an exception.
Lin Xiaoyue seized the opportunity. She risked sand flying into her eyes, half-closed her eyes, quickly took out the insect and threw it on Empress Dowager Yan's neck. The insect quickly drilled into the human skin as soon as it touched it.
Miraculously, there wasn’t a single wound on Empress Dowager Yan’s skin!
Lin Xiaoyue confidently covered her eyes with her hands again, then squatted on the ground and waited for the wind and sand to pass.
Finally, the strong wind died down and everyone removed their hands from covering their eyes.
Lin Xiaoyue didn't even bother to shake off the mud and sand on her body. She took the first step to support Queen Mother Yan who had fallen on Princess Mingzhu. "Queen Mother, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Empress Dowager Yan looked at Lin Xiaoyue in a daze. Her face seemed to want to be angry, but it seemed as if some mysterious force was pulling her back, preventing her from getting angry. "You, you... I don't need your help."
When Lin Xiaoyue saw Empress Dowager Yan's face, she looked as disgusted as if she had accidentally swallowed a fly, and her heart was filled with joy!
It seems that Dad's poison has taken effect!
"I'm glad that the Empress Dowager is okay. I'll go get the military doctor to come and be on standby." Lin Xiaoyue said while suppressing a smile.
Empress Dowager Yan didn't want to pay attention to Lin Xiaoyue, but she nodded involuntarily and said, "Okay."
Lin Xiaoyue happily walked up to Liang Jingyao and said, "Brother Liang, the wind and sand were so strong just now. I'm worried that the Queen Mother might be feeling unwell. Can we have a military doctor accompany her?"
Liang Jingyao asked worriedly, "What about the eldest princess? Is she feeling unwell?"
Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said, "The Princess is fine, but the Queen Mother doesn't look well. She must have been frightened. I'm not sure if the wind and sand blew into her eyes, but she hasn't complained about any eye discomfort."
Liang Jingyao looked at Prince Rong and asked, "Father, I think we should ask a military doctor to take a look."
Although Prince Rong was dissatisfied with Lin Xiaoyue's background, he was still very satisfied with her cleverness, so he nodded and agreed readily, "Okay, then accompany me directly. The Queen Mother's body is precious, and nothing must happen to her!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "Yes, I'll send someone to get the military doctor over right away!"
