Chapter 127 Kill Them
"What kind of poison did my parents get?" Liu Zhiyuan's voice trembled slightly.
Tang Kai's face was filled with shame. "We haven't confirmed what the poison is yet."
"How could you do such a thing!" Liu Zhiyuan was agitated. "With so many people guarding us, you still let someone poison my parents!"
Tang Kai lowered his head and said, "It was my negligence. I am willing to accept the punishment."
The defense of the Liu Mansion was very strict. There were always people guarding outside, and people were posted inside to stand guard twelve hours a day. But who would have thought that a spy had infiltrated the guard team.
Secretly poison the food.
Liu Zhiyuan's face was filled with anger. What was the point of accepting the punishment? Would accepting the punishment wake her parents up?
"When did you get poisoned?" she asked.
"Two nights ago."
Liu Zhiyuan was furious. "Since he was poisoned two days ago, why didn't you send someone to the hunting grounds to inform the emperor?"
It only takes half a day to get from the capital to the hunting ground. If Tang Kai had sent someone to notify her at that time, she could have reversed and prevented her parents from being poisoned.
However, two days had passed, and she didn't dare save the game easily because of the Chinese medicine incident. Now she could only go back 24 hours, and it was too late to do anything.
It’s too late!
"On the day Lord Liu was in trouble, I sent someone to deliver a letter, but the messenger was ambushed on the way and the message was never delivered."
He only found out today that the man was killed on the way and the news was not even delivered to the hunting ground, so when he heard that the emperor had returned, he went to the palace gate to report.
Liu Zhiyuan's eyes were red and she was on the verge of collapse.
Seeing that she was in a bad state, Xiao Yu quickly hugged her shoulders and said, "My beloved, calm down. I..."
"How can you ask me to calm down?"
Liu Zhiyuan pushed the man away and shouted at the top of his lungs, "You said you would protect my parents. You promised me!"
"I'm sorry, it was my mistake."
"A simple apology can wake my family up! They don't even know what poison they've been poisoned with!"
"I will send a royal physician to detoxify them. If the royal physician is unable to help, I will search all of Dayong for a miracle doctor. There will always be a way. I promise that I will cure your parents."
Xiao Yu reached out to hug Liu Zhiyuan, but she pushed him away. He could only hold her waist forcefully, holding her tightly in his arms to calm her down.
Liu Zhiyuan couldn't struggle free, so she pushed hard and punched Xiao Yu's shoulders several times, but he held her even tighter.
"You promised them that nothing would happen. But what happened? You knew that my parents were framed by the Chen family, that the Chen family was the culprit. Why didn't you arrest them? Why did you let them go unpunished? Why?!"
Liu Dehai's expression changed slightly, and he quickly winked at Tang Kai and others, signaling them to go out.
They don't want to hear such words.
After everyone left, Xiao Yu began to persuade, "The Chen family has been operating in the court for a long time. Their infiltration is extensive, their roots are deep, and their relationships are complicated. It will take more than a day to bring them down."
"Plus, Chen Hongyu commands an army of 400,000 men. Four-fifths of Dayong's military power lies in the hands of the Chen family. If a quarrel breaks out, 400,000 men could crush the capital. Furthermore, neighboring countries are eyeing Dayong covetously. If internal chaos breaks out, foreign enemies will take advantage of the situation and invade. Dayong will be powerless to fight back!"
"I promise you that I will kill Prime Minister Chen to avenge your father. Just wait a little longer..."
"I don't want to hear this!"
Liu Zhiyuan's emotions exploded, and he pushed Xiao Yu away with force, looking at her with eyes full of resentment. "I don't want to hear this. I don't know anything about military power or internal or external troubles. I only know that my father, my mother, and my brother were assassinated and their lives are uncertain! I don't want to hear about family and country, I just want to avenge them!"
"I know that your hatred is my hatred. I will kill Lu Jianzhang with my own hands to avenge your parents. Yuan'er, please give me some more time."
Liu Zhiyuan wiped away a tear and said, "If you can deal with the 400,000-strong army in the northwest and intimidate the neighboring countries so that they dare not invade Dayong, then you will kill Prime Minister Chen."
"Yuan'er, listen to me." Xiao Yu took a step forward and wanted to hold Liu Zhiyuan's shoulders.
He wanted to kill Prime Minister Chen more than anyone else, but he really couldn't do it now.
If he was just Xiao Yu, he would be willing to risk his life for his beloved, but he is the emperor, the ruler of a country.
He is responsible for Dayong and the people of the world.
Liu Zhiyuan took a step back, avoiding his touch.
His eyes were terrifyingly cold. "I ask you, if I can deal with the 400,000-strong army in the northwest and deter the neighboring countries from invading Dayong, will you hand Prime Minister Chen over to me?"
"yes."
He is not afraid of Prime Minister Chen and the civil servants in the court. No matter how deep-rooted or complicated their connections are, he is confident that he can get rid of them.
But he had to be wary of the 400,000 troops behind the Chen family.
That was the military power that was taken away by the Chen family when his father was alive, and it has not been recovered to this day.
Although the black gunpowder formula that Liu Zhiyuan provided last time was powerful, it was far from enough to face an army of 400,000.
The tug-of-war with the Chen family was destined to be a long one. He didn't know when it would be achieved, so he didn't dare to make promises to Liu Zhiyuan easily.
But he also knew that what Liu Zhiyuan wanted now was his attitude.
"Yuan'er, give me a little more time. Once I have wiped out the Chen family's power, I will hand Prime Minister Chen over to you for disposal."
"Remember your words today."
Liu Zhiyuan spoke in a cold voice and turned to look at Madam Liu lying on the bed.
Xiao Yu walked up to her and said, "I will arrange for the imperial physician to come, and I will also search for famous doctors all over the world. Your parents will be fine."
Liu Zhiyuan quickly saved a file for himself.
She was careless and was afraid that the reverse gear would fail to work again, so she didn't save the file again, thinking that one day of reverse gear time would be enough to deal with emergencies.
But she forgets that some things will happen without her knowledge, causing her to miss a day's reverse gear.
Save the gear position every ten days in the future. This way you don’t have to worry about system failure and you can deal with various situations.
She held Madam Liu's hand and said silently, "Mother, don't worry. It was my daughter's mistake that harmed you this time. I will definitely find a way to make amends."
The imperial physician didn't know if he could tell what kind of poison he had been poisoned by. If the imperial physician was helpless, then he would have to start with the Chen family.
There must be an antidote for the medicine they gave me.
Chen family, wait for me!
It was already late at night when Liu Zhiyuan returned to the Yangxin Palace. After taking a bath, he went straight to bed and lay down with his back to the bed.
After Xiao Yu finished his remaining official business and took a bath, he returned to the bedroom. Liu Zhiyuan was already asleep.
She lay there alone, her back to him, curled up in a ball.
Xiao Yu stood in front of the bed and looked at it for a while before lying down.
I kept my eyes open, looking at the carved ceiling of the bed, but I felt no desire to sleep.
Liu Zhiyuan was really sad and really angry.
This kind of anger was different from the usual anger that made him call him a dog emperor.
