Deyi Kangren looked shocked. Poisoned?
Was he poisoned?
How could that be!
His food is tested for poison by a designated person before he eats it.
If someone poisons the food, why is he poisoned while the person who tasted the food is unharmed?
Deyi Kangren couldn't figure out when he had been poisoned, and shook his head, "Uncle, I don't know."
Tokuyoshi Shingo was also aware that various forces were secretly stirring up trouble in Yamato, and there were many who hoped for Tokuyoshi Yasuhito's sudden death.
Therefore, the protection of Deyi Kangren has always been very thorough to prevent anyone from taking advantage of any loopholes.
Everyone who could serve in the shogunate was carefully selected, making it impossible for them to betray their lord.
How exactly did Kang Ren get poisoned?
It's very difficult to find out what happened back then, given how much time has passed.
In this light, the other party has truly mastered a clever tactic.
Deyi Xinwu looked at Su Ruojin and said, "I will send someone to investigate the general's poisoning as soon as possible. This year will be tough for the Princess Consort of Great Chu."
Su Ruojin looked coldly at Deyi Shingo, "My lord, I don't have time to stay in your Yamato for a year."
Deyi Xinwu smiled and said, "Princess Consort of Great Chu, a year is not a long time. I will make sure that you are well taken care of. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."
The implication was that they would be forcibly kept in Yamato.
Su Ruojin smiled, but her eyes were filled with coldness. "My lord, there is no one in this world who can force me to stay. If you don't believe me, you are welcome to try. Farewell."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
Seeing this, Hojo drew his long sword and blocked Su Ruojin's path.
Hu Qing immediately drew his sword and faced Hojo.
Su Ruojin turned to look at Deyi Xinwu, "Master, do you want to test our strength?"
After saying that, she glanced indifferently at everyone in the room, a cold smile playing on her lips.
That's all the people there, haha.
Before Tokuyoshi Shingo could reply, Tokuyoshi Yasuhito spoke up, "Hojo, step back!"
"General..." Hojo's face was filled with anger. In Yamato, no one had ever dared to speak to the general or the elder statesman like this.
"Step back! Cough cough~" Deyi Kangren's voice was filled with anger.
Seeing that the general was angry, Hojo dared not say anything more, sheathed his long sword, lowered his head, and retreated.
Hojo sheathed his sword, Hu Qing glanced at Su Ruojin, Su Ruojin nodded, and he also sheathed his sword.
"Princess Consort of Great Chu, I apologize. My subordinate was disrespectful to you. I will certainly punish him. Please don't take it to heart. I beg you to save my life, cough cough~"
After saying these words, Deyi Kangren began to cough violently again.
"General Deyi, as I said, if we can find the cause of the poisoning, you might still be saved."
After Su Ruojin finished speaking, she turned and left, and this time no one dared to stop her.
After the others left, Deyi Kangren spoke up, "Everyone except my uncle, please step down."
When the general gives the order, no one dares to disobey.
Soon only Tokugi Yasuhito and Tokugi Shingo remained in the room.
Deyi Kangren spoke up, "Uncle, what do you think?"
“They can’t leave until you’re cured,” Shingo Tokugi said calmly, as if he were simply saying the moon was very round that day.
In Yamato, there's nothing he can't do.
As for whether to let these people go after the general recovers, we'll decide then.
The image of the woman in green with a face like an angel flashed through Tokugi Yasuhito's mind. He glanced at the Odai-sho kneeling beside the tatami, head bowed like a wooden statue, and his heart stirred slightly.
"Kangren, you should rest well. I will find out the cause of your poisoning as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about anything else."
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle."
