Tapping his fingers on the table, Prime Minister Li suddenly looked mysterious. He took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and threw it into the arms of the assassin.
Then, Prime Minister Li’s deep voice came, carrying a deep temptation.
"Remember, I have no choice but to force you like this. As long as you serve me wholeheartedly, you can rest assured that you will receive the antidote every month. Also, if I ever truly reach the top, you and your brothers will all be incorporated into the Imperial Guard. What a glorious time that will be then."
Holding the porcelain bottle in his hand, the shadow guard first took out a pill and ate it, then he felt a little better and less painful. You know, the poison that Prime Minister Li gave them would cause piercing pain all over the body after a month.
Fortunately, Prime Minister Li is trustworthy, otherwise, he and his brothers would definitely disrupt his lair, even at the cost of their lives.
The assassins appeared to be submissive, "I understand, and I will certainly follow your orders, no matter how big or small."
Only then did Prime Minister Li wave his hand in satisfaction and ran away quickly.
Thinking that in a few days, the assassins would bring Zhou Beichen's head to him, Prime Minister Li's face was full of joy. That's great, it's really great.
"Hahaha! Someone, bring some wine. I want to pour myself a glass."
Soon a maid brought up the wine, and Prime Minister Li drank it sip after sip, enjoying it with the side dishes.
Outside the door, Du Ruolan's face turned pale when she heard the news. No matter what, she had to prevent this tragedy from happening. The emperor could not die, no matter what. If he died, how could the world be at peace?
A few days ago, she sent her eldest son to the Taifu Mansion to do some work. Now she thinks that there is only one Prime Minister Li in the mansion, so things will be much easier.
Seeing that Prime Minister Li was drunk, Du Ruolan personally heated a pot of wine, fried a few side dishes, and asked someone to bring them up.
In a daze, Prime Minister Li only saw a graceful figure. He forced himself to stay awake, stood up straight, and waved.
"Come, who are you from, young lady? Why are you here in my Prime Minister's Residence? Come, come and have a drink with me, the master."
Du Ruolan, who had just walked to Prime Minister Li's side, said: "......"
The corners of her mouth twitched. If it weren't for the big plan, she really wanted to pour a glass of wine to wake up this heartless guy.
But now, she... endured it. After all, how could a prime minister hold such a tolerant attitude?
Du Ruolan pinched her nose, suppressed her nausea, twisted her waist, and sat down on Prime Minister Li's legs, deliberately making a clipping sound.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, my surname is Du, and my given name is Ruolan. I wonder how you would like me to accompany you."
With one hand on Prime Minister Li's neck, Du Ruolan's face was very close to Prime Minister Li's. Prime Minister Li was drunk and thought to himself that since this beauty was delivered to his door, he must not let her go. He pouted and kissed her. As they kissed, the more Prime Minister Li smelled the scent, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did it look so much like his wife?
Unique sandalwood scent.
The drunken Prime Minister Li shook his head hard, opened his eyes with force, and looked hard. A face that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar appeared in front of him.
Prime Minister Li: "......"
His body couldn't stop shaking. With such a big surprise in front of him, he was already half sober. With a "bang", the wine glass fell.
"Oh my god, Ruolan, why are you here? Didn't you go back to the Taifu Mansion to see our eldest son?"
Prime Minister Li, who had come to his senses, no longer had the arrogance he had just shown, and looked listless. Du Ruolan showed a smile as beautiful as a flower, so beautiful that it was beyond description.
She licked her lips and moved closer to Prime Minister Li.
"I originally went back to the Taifu Mansion to see my son. He's been studying hard lately, so I didn't want to disturb him too much, so I came back. When I got back, I saw you were drunk and seemed to mistake me for someone else, so I wanted to tease you."
Du Ruolan spread her hands. After hearing this, Prime Minister Li finally let go of his worries. No matter what, as long as she didn't hear the news that he ordered his assassins to assassinate the emperor, it would be fine. On the contrary, if she really heard it, Prime Minister Li's eyelids sank, and then he would have no choice but to kill his wife. Now, no one can shake Jiang Shan's position in his heart.
Du Ruolan saw Prime Minister Li's eyes turning cunningly and a smile gradually appearing, so she asked deliberately.
"But, did you encounter something happy or sad? Why did you drink so much?"
When Prime Minister Li looked at Du Ruolan, he suddenly became a little suspicious. Du Ruolan immediately snuggled in Prime Minister Li's arms, played with his big hands, and said sweet words to them.
"Look, today, since our eldest son has finally grown up, I personally went to the kitchen to cook a few side dishes and heated up a pot of wine. I want to drink some with you."
Du Ruolan smiled brightly and leaned close to him. She was dressed even more beautifully today, looking fresh and refined. The reasons were sufficient to make Prime Minister Li forget his suspicions. He quickly hugged Du Ruolan tightly in his arms and coaxed her in a low voice.
"Lan'er, I'm sorry. Over the years, I've let you down in some ways. If I hadn't stubbornly raised Luo'er to that state, Duan Ran wouldn't be where he is today."
"Lan'er, I've been so unfair to you over the years. I'm also old and confused. It's not easy for us to be together again now. From now on, neither of us should have any random thoughts. I'll just be my prime minister, and you'll be your prime minister's wife, okay?"
Prime Minister Li is full of affection and tenderness, and the whole person looks like falling into a honey jar, so sweet.
Contempt flashed through her mind, and Du Ruolan forced a smile and said dryly.
"Li Lang, you'd think too much. There's no such thing as apologies or injustices between you and me. After all, life is getting better now, that's all, Li Lang..."
Excited, Du Ruolan immediately grabbed one of Prime Minister Li's hands, testing him almost in a pleading tone.
"Our family is now in high positions, our daughter is even the imperial concubine, and our grandchildren are all princes and princesses. Isn't it great for us to continue living like this?"
Prime Minister Li nodded without thinking, but he soon realized that something was wrong. Why would this lady say these things to him for no reason? She basically never said these words before.
He immediately became alert.
She wouldn't know anything...
Once the seeds of doubt take root and sprout in your heart, it is extremely difficult to uproot them.
Suddenly, Prime Minister Li fiercely grabbed Du Ruolan's hand and asked fiercely.
"Tell me, what did you overhear at the door just now? Tell me, did you know something?"
