Chapter 387 Emperor's Heart
Liu Yanran looked at Zi Yuan, who was supposed to be standing at the door, walking towards her and subconsciously stood up and retreated backwards.
"W-what do you want to do?"
Zi Yuan didn't say anything, but took out a small bag from her purse and poured the poison into the teacup in front of Liu Yanran. Then she poured a cup of tea and stirred it with a pair of chopsticks.
Liu Yanran's face was full of question marks as she looked at Ziyuan in disbelief.
You don’t even want to act anymore?
Zi Yuan looked back at Lu Jinye who seemed to have no intention of helping. She glared at him fiercely and then directly grabbed Liu Yanran who was about to jump from the second floor.
He quickly removed her chin and poured all the liquid in the teacup into her mouth, not leaving a drop.
He waited until Liu Yanran drank it before putting her chin back.
Liu Yanran tried her best to scratch her throat to vomit, but after a long time, only tears of retching came out, and she didn't spit out a drop of the poison she drank.
Qiao Wanyan said, "Okay, now you can tell me what I mean. What is He Zhiyu's great achievement?"
Liu Yanran looked at her, not wanting to answer her in her heart. She hoped that Qiao Wanyan was just trying to scare her and not really feeding her poison, but she knew clearly that people like Qiao Wanyan could do anything.
If I try to deceive her now, I will die.
My father and brother were poisoned by her and they still had to be grateful to her. I couldn't tell the truth but had to.
"It's Zhenyang Pass. A man ran out of Zhenyang Pass and beat the drum to accuse the officials of Zhenyang Pass of protecting each other and forcing the people to live in misery with high taxes. If the people in the capital are living in peace and wealth, then the people in Zhenyang Pass are living in a sea of misery without seeing the sun."
"It took the man half a year to get to the capital. The emperor was furious and wanted to send people to Zhenyang Pass to investigate the matter. He Zhiyu asked to go and found out that Zhenyang Pass used grain to exchange for troops and horses, which was a hidden act of treason. He dispatched troops to massacre all the officials in Zhenyang Pass. After returning to the capital, he was re-enthroned as the crown prince by the emperor."
Qiao Wanyan looked at Liu Yanran's expression carefully. Zhenyang Pass is located at the southeastern border. After passing Zhenyang Pass, it is the border of Qionghua.
When Dayu was still the previous dynasty, the previous emperor appointed a Jiedushi to go to Zhenyang Pass to resist the foreign enemies of Qionghua. After successfully defending Zhenyang Pass, the previous emperor ordered him to control the civil affairs and finances.
The Jiedushi had considerable power and had made great contributions and efforts in guarding Zhenyang Pass. Even the current emperor could not arbitrarily appoint this Jiedushi.
But this would be nothing more than a local tyrant, and the emperor would definitely want to eliminate this meritorious official of the previous dynasty.
If we can put down the rebellion at Zhenyang Pass, it will indeed be a great achievement.
Liu Yanran: "I didn't lie to you. Your father is in the court. You can ask your father whether He Zhiyu volunteered to go to Zhenyang Pass. The emperor didn't agree at that time, but he agreed at the next morning court."
Qiao Wanyan: "When did the man who escaped from Zhenyang Pass arrive in the capital?"
Liu Yanran thought about it carefully but couldn't remember such details. "I can't remember clearly, but it was after the blessing ceremony. I have told you everything you want to know. Give me the antidote."
Qiao Wanyan stood up and said, "What are you dreaming about? The palace is closed every ten days. You must come out of the palace every ten days to get the antidote from me. When the matter of Zhenyang Pass is confirmed, I will give you the antidote."
Liu Yanran stared at her back. Damn it, he was just a little bit away from tricking her.
How come the brainless and vicious female supporting role is so vicious and cautious? !
In the novel, all the calculations would seem ridiculous when encountering the heroine's halo. But how come she was transmigrated into the novel, and the vicious female supporting role was so cunning?
Liu Yanran did not listen to her father and brother's pleas to stay with them for a while longer. Instead, she collected the money that she had originally intended to give to her father and brother, returned to the palace and went straight to the Imperial Hospital to find the imperial physician to check her pulse.
She had hoped that the imperial physician would know what kind of poison she had been poisoned with and help her detoxify, but the imperial physician said that her pulse was normal and healthy, and there was nothing he could do for Liu Yanran.
How could this be? The pulse is normal?
Could it be that Qiao Wanyan didn't poison herself?
Just to scare yourself? But what if it is a drug that cannot be detected?
If she confirmed that she was poisoned, she might still have a slight hope of detoxification, but now she was either not poisoned or she was poisoned by a strange poison that even the Imperial Hospital could not diagnose, making her unable to sleep peacefully anymore.
It may have been just physical torture at first, but now it is a double torture of body and mind.
This caused Liu Yanran to cough twice, and she was terrified that the poison might have taken effect.
Meanwhile, Qiao Wanyan went to Penglai Tower. She originally planned to go out through the front door, but the number of guests was so overwhelming that she went around and entered through the side door.
In the private room, Qiao Wanyan touched Yun Yao's head and watched her playing with the tangram. At this moment, she liked her very much because she got a very good poison from her for Liu Yanran to use.
According to Yun Yao, not to mention the Imperial Hospital, even her brother wouldn’t be able to diagnose the problem in a short time.
It would be fine for Liu Yanran to go back to find the doctor. She felt that she was deceiving and scaring her. When the effect of the medicine took effect, the fear would increase sharply, which would be more interesting.
When He Baozhu came in, she saw Yun Yao playing with tangrams obediently, while Qiao Wanyan was petting a cat.
Yun Yao is the cat, whose hair was messed up by Qiao Wanyan.
"Didn't you say you went to Guo Temple? How come I suddenly heard that you returned to Yongzhou?"
Qiao Wanyan was too lazy to explain in so many words when she could just explain it in one sentence, not to mention that saying it out loud would do her no good.
"I suddenly miss my grandfather."
He Baozhu had no doubt, "Fresh and hot news, He Zhiyu is not a commoner anymore."
Qiao Wanyan's expression changed slightly. What Liu Yanran said was right.
He Baozhu sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. "Second Prince. The Eastern Palace also allowed him to continue living here. It's hard to guess what father meant."
Everyone can see that he favors Prince Jing, but he is not willing to move the East Palace out at the moment.
Qiao Wanyan asked, "Who can guess the emperor's mind?"
If what Liu Yanran said about Zhenyang Pass was true, as long as the person who went to Zhenyang Pass was not He Zhiyu, then He Zhiyu would not have made great contributions and then been abolished and reestablished.
In this case, the crown prince can only be He Yanli.
If He Zhiyu were the crown prince, he would eventually have to be on guard against Qiao Yihuan, the girl of destiny who was favored by heaven.
But if it was He Yanli, Qiao Yihuan would have no chance, and he would have less worries.
If this is the case, wouldn't all my efforts over such a long time be in vain?
If this bitch He Zhiyu had always been the crown prince, I wouldn't be so upset.
He Baozhu looked at her, and her face suddenly turned gloomy when she saw her in a good mood just now. She was stunned for a moment. Who did she think of to make her face change so quickly?
