Chapter 135 Shu Wan is poisoned
I have to say that today's wedding is really absurd!
Now it is a period of national mourning, and no one can marry for three years. As the most beloved son of the late emperor, Yuwen Yan got married in a high-profile ceremony less than a month after his death, which is really a great disapproval of the world.
Some loyal ministers in the court were so heartbroken that they did not even come to the banquet. Some who thought further ahead made the excuse that they were not feeling well and just sent people to deliver gifts, while some who were too stupid to think straight simply pretended that nothing had happened!
Those who came to the banquet today were all those who followed Yuwen Yan wholeheartedly and were determined to support him to ascend the throne.
Of course, there are also some people who firmly support the prince. They came here today because they have important tasks to attend to.
They came with the Queen and the Crown Prince, and their goal today was to capture Yuwen Yan in one fell swoop and restore order!
On the surface, it looked like a peaceful and festive wedding, but in reality, it was turbulent.
"The Imperial Master is here, the Princess is here, and the Prince of Beishuo is here!" At this time, the sharp voice of the eunuch came from the door.
Everyone looked towards the door at the same time. Shu Wan turned his head and saw a group of people led by Rong Chen, who was dressed in white, walking in.
Fu Jin and he walked in front, Yu Wenzhu was one step behind them, and behind them were Yu Jianning and Feng Ling.
Ever since Rong Chen came in, Shu Wan's eyes had been on him and had never moved away. When Rong Chen received her gaze, he gave her a reassuring look in return.
Shu Wan was still worried. In a situation like today, how could Yuwen Yan not be prepared at all? The entire Li Wang Mansion was probably surrounded like an iron barrel.
"If the princess continues to stare at the imperial tutor, it would be impolite!" Yu Wenyan whispered in Shu Wan's ear, his tone slightly displeased.
Shu Wan snorted coldly without replying and withdrew his gaze.
Yuwen Yan once again made up his mind to kill Rong Chen today! "The presence of the Imperial Master and the Crown Prince really makes me feel honored!" Yuwen Yan hid his thoughts and spoke with a smile on his face.
"My sister is getting married, so how can I not come?" Fu Jin was polite to him, but Rong Chen sat down without saying a word.
"Yes, the eldest prince must be present today!" Since Fu Jin said so, Yuwen Yan naturally had to cooperate.
"Second brother!" Yuwen Zhu interrupted at the right time, "Today, I want to give you two a big gift!" The two people she was referring to were Shu Wan and Yuwen Yan.
"Oh, what a big gift! Second brother is looking forward to it!" Yu Wenyan smiled. He always felt a little uneasy in his heart, but everything had been arranged for today and there shouldn't be any mistakes.
"You will know soon!" Yu Wenzhu's eyes were full of smiles.
"Okay, then second brother, just wait and see!" He thought that Yuwen Zhu alone should not be able to cause any big trouble, and one thing Yuwen Zhu said was true, that is, no one wanted Shu Wan to marry him smoothly more than Yuwen Zhu.
"Stop chatting!" At this time, the queen on the throne said with a smile, "If you keep chatting, you will miss the auspicious time for the wedding ceremony!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people nodded in agreement.
The prime minister stepped out, asked Shu Wan and Yu Wenyan to stand, then cleared his throat and began to sing.
"The newlyweds bow to heaven and earth!"
Yuwen Yan was looking forward to it with joy, but Shu Wan just stood there motionless.
"Princess, don't just stand there!" Yu Wenyan squeezed out these words from between his teeth, "Do you want to make a fool of yourself in front of all the guests?"
Shu Wan still didn't move, nor did she look at Yu Wenyan. She just stood there without saying a word.
"Shu Wan!" Yu Wenyan shouted again.
At this time, the guests had already started whispering among themselves, no, the whispers reached Yuwen Yan's ears directly, and they were basically talking about whether the bride didn't want to get married anymore.
Yu Wenyan was furious, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Shu Wan, whose face was pale and whose forehead was covered in sweat, as if he was trying hard to hide something.
"Shu Wan?" he called out worriedly.
At this time, although Shu Wan clenched his teeth, his whole body was shaking constantly, and it seemed that he would fall down in the next second. Even everyone present noticed something was wrong.
Shu Wan couldn't bear it any longer, and a trace of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth. This scene scared everyone.
"Shu Wan!"
"Wanwan!"
Yuwen Yan and Rong Chen shouted her name at the same time, and Rong Chen moved to Shu Wan's side almost instantly.
Then the two of them held Shu Wan from the left and right, and neither of them was willing to give in.
"Rong Chen, take me away!" Shu Wan endured the great pain and squeezed out a few words from her teeth. When she spoke, she saw that her mouth was full of blood. It turned out that just now, she was not injured and vomited blood, but she couldn't stand the pain, so she bit her tongue! "Okay, let's leave!" Rong Chen's hands were shaking a little. Shu Wan's condition looked very serious. He was scared from the bottom of his heart! "Without the king's permission, no one can leave today!" Yu Wenyan, who suffered such humiliation, turned cold and spoke viciously. As soon as he finished speaking, soldiers who had been ambushed for a long time rushed out from the corners on all sides, each holding a bow and arrow. As long as the people below dared to act rashly, the sharp arrows in their hands would pierce the other's heart.
Seeing this, everyone panicked. It turned out that today's wedding banquet was just a Hongmen Banquet. "Prince Li, what do you mean by this?" The Queen asked angrily, "I and all the court officials came to attend your wedding banquet to give you face, but you did such a treasonous thing in public?"
All the ministers agreed.
"Everyone, just sit still and don't move. I won't make things difficult for you!" Yuwen Yan sneered, not knowing if what he said was what he really meant! "Otherwise, no one will get out alive today!" He threatened openly.
"Brother, isn't it a bit too early to say that?" At this time, Yuwen Zhu stood up with a triumphant smile on her face, "I just said that I want to give you and Shu Wan a big gift. How about it, brother, do you like my gift?" She signaled to Yuwen Yan with her eyes. The gift she was talking about was Shu Wan's current appearance.
"What did you do?" Yuwen Yan really couldn't have anticipated that Yuwen Zhu would do something bad.
"I didn't do anything, I just gave her something!" Yu Wenzhu said calmly, "Second brother, I didn't mean to kill her, otherwise, she would be a corpse now. I just wanted to ask you for something. If you are happy, then I will naturally not embarrass my future sister-in-law!"
"What do you want?" Yuwen Yan didn't know what he had that Yuwen Zhu was thinking about.
"Why are you still pretending to be confused at this time, second brother?" Yu Wenzhu's face was full of dissatisfaction, "I only want to stay with the national teacher forever, but now, second brother, tell me, does my sister still have this opportunity now?" Perhaps many people present could not understand her words, but everyone who knew the inside story knew clearly what she meant.
She was asking Yuwen Yan for the antidote to the poison in Rong Chen's body.
"So!" Yu Wenyan looked at her angrily.
"So, whether or not we can save Shu Wan's life depends on what choice our second brother makes!" Yu Wenyan took over the conversation. "Either we brothers and sisters can stay together with our loved ones forever, or we brothers and sisters can watch our loved ones die and live in regret for the rest of our lives. Second brother, what do you want to choose?"
"Hand over the antidote!" Yuwen Yan looked at her with gritted teeth, "I promise you, I will give you what you want!" Seeing Shu Wan in such pain, he really wanted to break Yuwen Zhu's neck.
"Brother, are you stupid to treat me as your sister?" Yu Wenzhu seemed to have heard a big joke. "I gave you the antidote. Can we still get out alive?"
"Then what do you want?" Yu Wenyan asked, suppressing the urge to kill.
"Give me what I want first, and let me and the Imperial Master go. Once I'm sure the Imperial Master's poison has been resolved, I'll naturally offer the antidote to him!" Yu Wenzhu had practiced these words countless times in his mind. "Brother, I only want the Imperial Master to be alive, not anyone else's life. But if you continue to hesitate, Shu Wan will be killed by you!"
"You..." Yu Wenyan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"I don't need the antidote!" Rong Chen's face was so dark that water could drip out of it. "Yuwenzhu, give the antidote to Wanwan!" He would not accept the remaining half of the antidote that Yuwenzhu used in this way to give him. Seeing Shu Wan suffer, he could not wait even a minute.
At this moment, he was caught off guard by Shu Wan who quietly pinched him! Rong Chen's reaction was so fast that he understood it in just a moment. After realizing that this was a plot by Shu Wan and Yu Wenzhu, he was both angry and amused. If that was the case, Shu Wan should be fine.
"Master, don't be silly!" Yuwen Zhu laughed. "It's no use begging me now. You should say this to my second brother. As long as my second brother gives me what I want, we will all be happy. Otherwise..." She didn't say the rest of the words.
"If anything happens to Wanwan, I will never forgive you!" Rong Chen said word by word.
"If she is really dead, I will not be alive even if the Imperial Master and Second Brother do nothing!" Yu Wenzhu did not care about his threat at all. "If she dies, Second Brother will not give me the antidote. I don't have the antidote and cannot save you, then you will die too. If you die, what's the point of me living? Let's all die together. I went to so much trouble to poison her just to save you. If in the end, not only can I not save you, but she is still fine, then wouldn't everything I did be in vain? So, even if I die, I will drag her down with me!"
"Yuwenzhu, what kind of medicine did you give me?" Shu Wan's teeth were almost broken, and her face was now red. If she hadn't been biting her tongue, she would have lost consciousness by now.
"Don't worry about what medicine it is. You won't die in an hour or two!" Yu Wenzhu didn't even notice the look Shu Wan gave her. She still raised her chin with pride. "But if my second brother is still hesitant, I can't say for sure!"
Shu Wan didn't know whether Yuwen Zhu was telling the truth or just pretending to be stupid, so she tried hard to concentrate and try to find out what Yuwen Zhu was thinking.
The result was not beyond her expectations. Yuwen Zhu had always administered the drugs according to their agreement. However, this idiot could make a mistake even in such a simple matter as administering the drugs!
I am really not afraid of god-like opponents, I am only afraid of pig-like teammates.
That day, when Shu Wan was on his way back from delivering medicine to Rong Chen, he bumped into Yuwen Zhu's carriage on a narrow road. The road was narrow, so someone had to give way to pass. The two refused to give way and blocked the road directly.
Then Yu Wenzhu jumped out of the car angrily and asked Shu Wan to find a place to argue with her.
After entering the teahouse, she told Shu Wan that she knew everything! Shu Wan was confused and could only ask her what she knew.
It turned out that Rong Chen and Yu Wenzhu had a thorough conversation the night before.
Rong Chen told her everything about their life stories, relationships, and the purpose of coming to Chiyan.
Of course, there was no way Rong Chen would tell her that they had divorced.
So Yuwenzhu naturally only knew that Shu Wan and Rong Chen were husband and wife.
Yu Wenzhu really likes Rong Chen and wants to marry him, but when she suddenly hears that Rong Chen has already married Shu Wan, she is very sad and unwilling.
But at the same time, her conscience told her that she couldn't do anything to break up a couple! If Shu Wan and Rong Chen didn't get married, and it was just Shu Wan who liked Rong Chen unilaterally, then she would never let go.
But now, she couldn't do it.
After learning all of this, she made a decision.
She wanted to help Rong Chen get Shu Wan back! Because she seemed to suddenly realize that to like someone was to want him to be happy.
Rong Chen would only be happy if Shu Wan came back to him, so she would find a way to get Shu Wan back to him.
So she planned this scheme with Shu Wan behind Rong Chen's back, pretending to poison Shu Wan and making her look like she was dying, in order to force Yuwen Yan to hand over the antidote. As long as the poison in Rong Chen was removed, Yuwen Yan would no longer be able to threaten Shu Wan.
But Shu Wan still missed one thing despite all her calculations. She underestimated Yu Wenzhu's stupidity! !
She could have given the wrong poison! "Okay, I'll give you the antidote!" Yuwen Yan had no choice but to agree, "You'd better not play tricks on me, otherwise, I won't forgive you!"
"Don't worry, second brother!" Yu Wenzhu was not afraid of him at all, "How dare I lie to you, second brother!"
Yuwen Yan handed the antidote to her.
"Is this really the antidote?" Yu Wenzhu's face was full of disbelief.
"I promise!" Yuwen Yan gritted his teeth.
"Imperial Master, here!" Yu Wenzhu then handed the antidote to Rong Chen.
This time, Rong Chen simply reached out and took it and swallowed it.
Shu Wan was a little worried, wondering if this was a trick.
"Now it's your turn to hand over the antidote!" Yuwen Yan looked at Yuwen Zhu.
"Don't worry, I'll give you the antidote once I confirm that the poison in the Imperial Master's body has been removed!"
