Chapter 3088 Poison
She was just here to provoke him.
She chose this time, this place, and even this situation to provoke Xu Shizong.
Looking at Xu Shizong panting, his thin shoulder blades bulging high, almost piercing through his thin clothes and piercing out from his thin skin, Nan Yan said in an even more cruel tone: "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable? Can't bear it?"
“…”
"But Master Xu should not forget the pain that Queen Renxiao suffered when she lost her child during the siege of Prince Yan's mansion."
“…”
"You should also understand the despair of not being able to obtain what you have been seeking for all these years."
“…”
"As a woman, she should have a kind of happiness in her life, becoming a mother, watching her own child in her arms. But as her own brother, you forcibly, no, bloodily ripped this happiness from her body."
“…”
"Shouldn't you be punished?"
Xiaoman was so anxious that his eyes turned red, but Xu Shizong didn't let him speak, so he could only stare at Nan Yan with red eyes anxiously. Xu Shizong couldn't even cough at this moment, so he could only lie on the edge of the table and gasp for breath. The anxious sound sounded as if something was being pulled out of his body.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and suppressed the severe pain in his heart.
Then he slowly raised his head to look at Nan Yan, smiled bitterly and said, "I thought that the Imperial Concubine was able to stay by his side because she was not afraid of hardship, let alone death."
“…”
"Now I understand. The Imperial Concubine's eloquence is no less impressive than hers."
Nan Yan sneered and said, "The advantage of the tongue is only in the tongue."
“…”
"I am not like some people who use the Goddess of Childbirth to harm their own relatives."
“…”
"Besides, even the Buddha Tathagata cannot avoid roaring like a lion, let alone me, a mere mortal."
At this time, Xu Shizong was already panting so hard that he could hardly hold on. He had been sitting there writing something, and he had almost used up all the strength that the ginseng soup he drank had given him. At this point, he was really exhausted. When Xiaoman supported him, she felt as if his bones were softening, and he was sinking uncontrollably.
Xiaoman seemed to realize something in her heart.
He didn't dare to say anything harsh to Nan Yan, so he could only comfort Xu Shizong in a low voice: "Sir, let's go to bed and rest. Anyway, you have finished writing your work."
“…”
Xu Shizong said weakly: "First, wait a moment."
After saying that, he leaned on Xiaoman and took two more breaths. After finally gathering some strength, he raised his hand and said, "Give me what I asked you to prepare."
"yes."
Xiaoman turned and walked to the side, took out three embroidered bags from a cabinet, one bluish-white, one light red, and one dark purple, and handed them to Xu Shizong. Xu Shizong took them, coughed, and rolled up the three notes he had written on the table and put them into the three embroidered bags.
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly: "A brilliant plan?"
Xu Shizong turned his head to look at her and said calmly, "It's not a brilliant plan. Now, I can only do my best to help him pacify the world."
"Peace in the world..."
Nan Yan repeated these three words and sneered.
Xu Shizong tied each embroidered bag tightly. These few small movements also made him sweat. He said softly, "I know that this is a joke to the Royal Concubine, but as a Confucian scholar, this is the only small wish I have."
Nan Yan crossed her legs and said slowly, "What I'm laughing at is not 'peace in the world', but you are helping people like Zhu Chengjin to bring peace to the world."
Xu Shizong said: "He is orthodox."
Nan Yan said: "If his heart is not right, how can he be orthodox?"
Xu Shizong's brows suddenly furrowed.
He turned to look at Nan Yan, but didn't say anything immediately. He just nodded to Xiao Man, who immediately helped him turn around and walked towards the bed. After he lay down, Xiao Man gently covered him with the quilt. He then said weakly, "The young master's personality has changed drastically because of some of his early experiences—to be more precise, his experiences were caused by the person beside you, Madam."
“…”
"But no matter what, he is the orthodoxy of the dynasty."
“…”
"I also believe that once the world is at peace and he ascends the throne, everything will be fine."
"hehe,"
Nan Yan sneered again. This time, she did not sit in the chair and talk to Xu Shizong. Instead, she raised her hand. Tingfu, who was standing beside her, immediately reached out to support her and helped her slowly walk to the bed. Xiaoman stood in front of her with some vigilance, as if to stop her from hurting Xu Shizong.
Nan Yan glanced at him calmly and said, "Don't be afraid."
“…”
"I will not attack your young master."
Xu Shizong also said: "Xiao Man, please move aside. The Imperial Concubine is such a person, how could she treat a patient like me? The Imperial Concubine has a noble heart, and I still believe her in this."
Nan Yan smiled, and Xiaoman reluctantly stepped aside.
Nan Yan looked down at Xu Shizong and sneered, "Actually, I've already provoked you for so long. Seeing you like this, although I'm happy for Queen Renxiao, I also feel sorry for you."
“…”
"It's pitiful that you were willing to harm your own sister for that man, but he treated you even more cruelly than you treated your sister."
“……!”
Xu Shizong's weak body trembled slightly.
He looked up at Nan Yan: "What did you say?"
Nan Yan leaned down, almost right in front of him, and spoke slowly in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Didn't you tell me before that your life has always been dependent on those medicine bottles you took? But have you ever thought about why, ever since entering the Jinling Palace, ever since I lived next to you behind the Wuying Hall, the more medicine you drank, the more your life has become like a candle in the wind. Now, it is almost coming to an end."
“…”
Xu Shizong looked at her, and his eyes gradually became stiff.
Nan Yan smiled, slowly raised her hand and patted her collar.
Xu Shizong looked at her with wide eyes.
"you--"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "You used medicine on your own sister. You probably never thought that one day, I would repay you for it."
“…”
"Before I left Xiajiang Town and entered Xingluo Lake, I had already secretly prepared poison. I sewed it into the collars of every change of clothes I brought with me. Even the Emperor didn't know this."
“…”
"These medicines are prepared for me, and also for you."
