Three days later at dusk, the setting sun looked like blood, and the Queen Mother's side palace, Liu Ruoli's bedroom, was dyed dark red.
She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, pacing restlessly in the room, her expression sometimes conflicted, sometimes resolute. She thought that if Nangong Yan's poison was cured, he would definitely drive her out of the palace, so she would give it a try.
Finally, she bit her tongue and called her personal maid Ling'er to whisper an order: "Take this wooden sign to the inn and send a message to the Canglang Kingdom, saying that they agree to cooperate.
Remember, if there is any mistake in this matter, your life will be gone! ”
The maid turned pale with fear and trembled slightly, but she did not dare to ask any more questions and left in a hurry.
At the same time, in the study of the palace, Nangong Yan and Bai Linglong were discussing countermeasures again.
The room was very quiet, with only the occasional flickering sound of the candlelight.
An Yi suddenly appeared like a ghost, knelt on one knee, and anxiously reported: "My Lord, Princess, Liu Ruoli has agreed to cooperate with the Canglang Kingdom. The spy has sent a message that they are preparing poison and will probably attack My Lord soon."
Nangong Yan stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "As expected, this woman has really been blinded by interests and sold out her country for power!"
Bai Linglong frowned, worry flashed in her beautiful eyes, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Since we know they are going to poison us, let's make a plan.
Your Highness, please continue to pretend that you have been poisoned and have not recovered yet, so as to lure Liu Ruoli into the trap.
If you take the antidote now, your body will be immune to all poisons in the future.
놖 will prepare a pill that will cause you to fake your death, and after you take it, 늀 will pretend to die from the poison.
Let's see what tricks she can come up with. ”
Nangong Yan nodded slightly, his eyes full of trust in Bai Linglong: "Everything is up to your arrangement.
Nangong Yan swallowed the detoxification pill and said: "Let's see what other conspiracies and schemes Liu Ruoli and the Canglang Nation can come up with."
It's just hard work for you, and you have to worry and be afraid. ”
Bai Linglong shook her head slightly and said softly: "You are husband and wife as one, so you should share the hardships together, not to mention that this is to protect our country."
A few days later, Liu Ruoli was in her own palace, tightly holding the small bottle of poison, with a sinister smile on her face.
She carefully put on her make-up in front of the mirror, and while arranging her hair, she muttered to herself, "Bai Linglong, it won't be long before you are the most honorable queen in the world.
When the Canglang Kingdom conquers the Southern Kingdom and Nangong Yan dies, no one will be able to protect you. I will be the first to kill you and your cubs.
"I can't be the Crown Princess, nor the Queen, it's all because of you," Liu Ruoli said with hatred.
The prince was poisoned and had feelings for 놖. If you hadn't stopped him, the prince would have taken 놖 as his concubine, and maybe even made her his principal wife.
Now, as long as the prince dies, all of this will be over. ”
After getting ready, Liu Ruoli walked into the palace gracefully with a box of carefully prepared pastries.
As soon as she entered the palace gate, she deliberately raised her voice and said in a delicate voice: "Prince, Ruoli is here to see you, and she brought some homemade cakes."
The servants who were busy in the yard all cast strange looks at him, but dared not say anything.
Liu Ruoli didn't care and walked straight to Nangong Yan's room.
Seeing Nangong Yan, she immediately put on a pitiful look, holding the cake box in both hands, and said in a tender voice: "My Lord, look, this is the cake that Ruoli spent the whole night making especially for you, please try it.
Seeing that you have been feeling unwell these days, Ruoli feels very distressed and wants to do something for you. ”
As he spoke, he opened the box, picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Nangong Yan.
Nangong Yan looked at the pastries in front of him with disgust in his heart, but there was still a gentle smile on his face.
When Liu Ruoli saw Nangong Yan didn't eat the cakes immediately, she looked unhappy, but soon she smiled again: "Your Majesty, why don't you eat it? Are you dissatisfied with Ruoli's poor cooking?
Ruoli put a lot of thought into it. ”
Nangong Yan said quickly: "How could that be? The king was just thinking about government affairs and got distracted.
The king is deeply touched by your kindness. ”
As he spoke, he reached out to take the cake and put it in his pocket.
As he chewed, he thought of a thousand ways this bitch could die.
Liu Ruoli watched Nangong Yan eat the cakes, feeling secretly proud, thinking: This poison was carefully developed by the Canglang Country, it is colorless and tasteless, and the effect will not take effect until three days later, and no one will suspect it at that time.
When Nangong Yan's poison takes effect, the Canglang Kingdom will be able to attack smoothly, and she will become the queen in no time!
누At that time, the whole South Country belonged to 놖, and 놖 wanted to make Bai Linglong's life a fate worse than death!
After leaving the palace, Liu Ruoli returned to the palace and waited anxiously for news every day.
She imagined Nangong Yan, the scene after the poison took effect, and Bai Linglong's panic-stricken look, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
On the first day, everything was normal in the palace. Although Liu Ruoli was a little confused, she didn't take it to heart as she thought the poison had not yet taken effect.
The next day, there was still no movement. Liu Ruoli began to get restless. She paced around the palace, muttering, "Why hasn't it taken effect yet? Is there something wrong with the poison?
You shouldn’t do that. This is the secret medicine of the Canglang Nation, and its efficacy has always been very accurate.
That Bai Linglong, wouldn't she notice anything?
No, I have to think of another way. ”
Finally, it was the third day.
Early in the morning, Nangong Yan took a drug that caused him to fake his death. Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps and shouts coming from the palace.
"Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? ”
The maid's scream broke the tranquility of the palace.
After hearing the news, Liu Ruoli was delighted and immediately rushed to the palace.
As soon as she entered Nangong Yan's room, she saw Nangong Yan was pale, sweating profusely, and lying on the bed in pain.
Liu Ruoli immediately rushed to Nangong Yan's bedside and cried, "My Lord, what's wrong with you?
It must be Bai Linglong, who was jealous of your special care for her, and poisoned you!
Your Majesty, you must make the decision for yourself!
Ever since 놖 and the prince got closer, she has been targeting 놖 in every way. She is jealous of the prince's kindness to 놖. ”
As she spoke, she kept wiping her tears with her handkerchief, secretly observing the reactions of the people around her.
At this time, Bai Linglong also rushed over anxiously.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Nangong Yan's painful expression, her eyes instantly turned red, and she hurried forward to check.
Seeing this, Liu Ruoli cried even harder, wiping her tears with a handkerchief from time to time, and kept complaining, "Bai Linglong, you are so cruel! The prince treats you well on weekdays, how could you do such a cruel thing!
You are afraid that the prince will fall in love with you and replace you, so you came up with such a vicious idea! ”
Bai Linglong suppressed her anger, glared at Liu Ruoli, and said coldly: "Get out, I'll kill you if you keep nagging me.
You are slandering others here.
After saying that, she quickly took out silver needles from the medicine box, injected acupuncture points into Nangong Yan's acupuncture points, and fed him the antidote she had developed.
However, Nangong Yan's symptoms did not ease, he still had a frown on his face and was in great pain.
Bai Linglong was extremely anxious. She knew in her heart that it was fake and it was uncomfortable to look at. Beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead.
She bit her lip and said self-reproachfully, “How could this happen?
The antidote they researched had no effect on the poison.
My Lord, please hold on a little longer. I'm sure you'll find a way to detoxify me. ”
Liu Ruoli said hypocritically, "Bai Linglong, don't waste your energy. This poison is obviously not an ordinary poison. Maybe there is no antidote.
Look, it was you who poisoned him, and you are still pretending to save him. How hypocritical! ”
Nangong Yan looked at Bai Linglong's anxious expression and felt distressed, but in order not to expose his plan, he could only continue to pretend.
He suppressed his inner reluctance and pretended to groan in pain a few times, then said weakly: "Linglong, don't be embarrassed, there is no antidote for this poison..." As he spoke, he suddenly coughed up a large amount of blood, his body trembled, and he "died" straight away.
"Your Majesty!"
Bai Linglong let out a heart-wrenching cry and instantly collapsed beside Nangong Yan's bed, tears pouring out like a flood.
She clenched her hands tightly, Nangong Yan's hands were gradually getting cold, her nails almost embedded in her palms, as if she was trying to find a ray of life from these temperatureless fingertips. She cried mournfully, as if she wanted to vent all the pain in her heart.
The atmosphere in the palace froze in an instant. After a deathly silence, a burst of wailing broke out.
"King!"
The six-year-old Nangong Xuan cried and broke free from his nanny's hand, staggering to the bed.
With her tender little hands, she shook Nangong Yan vigorously, "Prince, wake up, Xuan'er is scared..."
Tears flowed freely on his face, and his small shoulders trembled violently. The usually majestic and kind King had no reaction at this moment, which made him feel extremely frightened.
Nangong Yao was so frightened that she stood there in a daze, her face pale and her eyes filled with tears, but she did not dare to cry out loud because she was too frightened.
It was not until she saw her brother crying that she woke up from her dream and burst into tears: "King, please don't abandon Yao'er..."
The old housekeeper's legs softened, and he knelt on the ground with a plop. Turbid tears burst out of his eyes and slid down his wrinkled cheeks:
"My Lord, why did you leave like this...
Everyone in the palace is relying on you! ”
He had served in the palace for many years and witnessed the growth of Nangong Yan. In his heart, the prince was the pillar of the palace. Now that the prince suddenly "left", he felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.
The maids and servants also knelt on the ground and cried.
