Chapter Ninety-Seven: Poison
"yes! I just coaxed Dana, but I couldn't sleep myself, so I came to talk to my sister. Yara looked at Henry, her eyes flashing, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Alright, Henry, what's the matter with not resting so late?" said Madame Bezhen, sitting down and looking at her son.
"Mother, Theseus is back!" said Henry, standing with his head bowed in front of Madame Bezhen.
"Huh?" said Madame Bezhen, frightened by Henry's words, and almost stood up from her position.
Then he turned his gaze to Yara, who had been here for a long time, but he didn't see Yara mention it.
Madame Bezhen also quickly adjusted her mood and looked at Henry with a smile.
"It's a good thing your brother is back! it's getting late, and it's time for you to go to bed!" said Madame Bezhen in a tone of unmistakable voice.
Henry wanted to say something, but when he saw Madame Pei Zhen's tone, he opened his mouth, but he still didn't say it.
Henry also walked out of Madame Bezhen's room, ready to go back.
"It's really not early, I'll go back first!" Yara saw that Henry was gone, and she didn't plan to stay here, so she said a word to Bezhen and left.
All night, Madame Bezhen sat motionless in her place, her face full of sorrow, he did not know the purpose of this return of Xius, nor what his plans were.
It was a little cool, and Count Clay got up, and Madame Bezhen had prepared breakfast early in the morning.
She knew that Count Clay was going to check a batch of goods with Count Ulot today, and she had prepared it in advance, and after thinking about it, Madame Bezhen also called Henry up and accompanied Count Clay to dine together.
"Do you want to call Hughes down too!" Madame Bezhen asked Count Clay a little carelessly while eating breakfast, deep down she didn't want to call Hughes down, but she had to do a good job of saving face.
"No, let him get up later! Prepare him a breakfast later!" Count Clay was a little anxious to eat, and his speech was a little unclear.
"Yes!" After hearing Count Clay's answer, Bezhen didn't know what to say for a while.
"Okay, I'll go first, Henry, you can ask Hughes about your swordsmanship, he's pretty good at swordsmanship!" Clay said as he wiped his mouth and Henry.
"Henry?" Clay didn't hear Henry's response, accentuating his voice.
"Ahh
When Henry came back to his senses and knew that he had said the wrong thing, he quickly stood up, bowed his head, and did not dare to look at his father.
Hearing Henry's answer, Count Clay also knew that Henry had not listened to his words at all.
"It's all right, if you're sleepy, go back and rest!" said Count Clay, and went out with the men.
"Mother!" Henry not only lowered his head when he saw Count Clay gone, but also whispered to Madame Bezhen.
"Eat, your father is not angry!" Madame Bezhen also saw that something was wrong with her son, but after all she did not say anything.
"You go back and rest for a while!" Eating was almost over, Pei Zhen looked at Henry with a look of no energy, she also knew why Henry was like this, not only Henry, but she herself was also impatient.
"No, I'm going to practice swordsmanship for a while!" Henry refused his mother's offer, turned around and walked out.
Madame Bezhen also instructed her servants to start cleaning up the things on the table, and she sat down at the table.
Those subordinates who came to pack up their things, as if Mrs. Pei Zhen refused to leave, they could only start to collect them carefully, for fear that Mrs. Bei Zhen would be unhappy if there was too much noise.
Sunlight poured in through the window, and Hughes slowly woke up.
After washing up and dressing up, he went downstairs, and when he went downstairs, he saw where Madame Bezhen was sitting, and his face seemed to be a little panicked when he watched him go downstairs.
"Your Excellency is going with Count Ullot to inspect a shipment today, so I'm gone!" said Madame Bezhen, looking at Theseus, with a smile on her face.
"Oh!" said that Hughes thought that his father was quite busy.
Mrs. Bezhen didn't say much, and soon the servant brought breakfast.
Hughes also felt a little hungry when he looked at the breakfast, so he sat down and prepared to enjoy this hearty breakfast.
Hughes looked at the breakfast on the table, and saw that there was also a soup in it, and Hughes planned to drink this first.
As the lid on it was opened, a wave of heat came to his face with a strong aroma, and Hughes looked at the milky white soup and asked about the tempting aroma.
Hughes took a bite with a spoon, and the taste did not disappoint him, which made Hughes feel a lot better, and a smile appeared on his face.
Bei Zhen next to her just watched as Hughes drank the soup.
"Drop! Trace amounts of toxin detected in the host!"
Just as he was about to drink again, he heard the sound of chips and put down the soup spoon in his hand.
Not only did Hughes chuckle and chuckle, but he turned his head to look at Madame Bezhen, who was standing with a blank face.
Bei Zhen looked at Xiusi with a smile on his face, a little puzzled, and was just about to ask, when he saw Xiuce raise his right hand, his five fingers apart, and his palm facing the dining table.
"What's the matter, Theseus, doesn't it suit your appetite?
"Come here!" said Hughes motioned for Madame Bezhen to come over to his side.
Bei Zhen couldn't refuse, so she had to come over.
Seeing that Bei Zhen was so cooperative, Xius didn't say much.
"Look at my hand!" Theseus's voice reached Bei Zhen's ears, making Bei Zhen have no choice but to look at Xiu Zhen's hand.
As soon as Bei Zhen's gaze moved to the palm of Xiuce's hand, he saw a blue light coming out of Xiuce's palm.
This caused Madame Bezhen to quickly retreat with a frightened look, but she fell to the ground because she was too anxious.
The moment Madame Bezhen fell to the ground, the roar of an explosion echoed throughout the castle.
"Ahem!" Bei Zhen choked on the dust in the sky, and looked up to see that the exquisite table where she had eaten before was gone, only some debris around it, proving that the table was not gone.
Bei Zhen's tinnitus had not yet passed, she tried to get up from the ground, but found that she could not stand up at all, she felt that she had no strength in her whole body.
He could only look at Xius standing beside him with a look of horror.
"I," Bei Zhen was afraid, she wanted to use the poison to corrode Xius's body little by little, but she didn't expect Xiusi to taste it after just taking a small sip.
She didn't expect that Xius had such a powerful power just after not coming back for two years, and Bei Zhen couldn't help but tremble when she remembered the blue light just now in her mind.
Theseus looked down at Bei Zhen, whose body had been trembling, and his eyes were full of indifference.
"Put away your thoughts! I don't have much interest in the heir of this count!" Hughes left for a sentence and went upstairs, ruined by the good mood of the morning.
Bezhen didn't know if she had listened to Theseus, she sat on the ground with her eyes blank, and looked at the place that had been blown up.
Earlier, one of the lightning strikes of Xius caused the entire castle to hear it, and many soldiers rushed over.
Henry, who was practicing his sword, also put down the sword in his hand when he heard the loud noise, and hurriedly ran back.
As soon as the soldiers entered, they saw Mrs. Bezhen slumped on the ground, motionless.
Rael also rushed over, and was also startled when he looked at the situation around him.
The destruction here is obviously not something that ordinary people can cause, and even he can't destroy this place like this in an instant.
Suddenly, he thought of Xius, and then thought of Xius's outings for the past two years, and Rael knew that this place was probably made by Xius.
"Mother, Mother!" said Henry, who came in from outside.
Originally, when Henry heard the sound coming from the castle, he planned to take a look, but Count Clay was not at home, and there were only him and Hughes in the castle, so he naturally had to behave himself.
It's just that when Henry found out that the source of the sound was near the dining table, he immediately thought of Mrs. Pei Zhen, and hurriedly ran over.
Henry bypassed the soldiers, and did not bother to look at everything around him, and when he came in, he saw Madame Bezhen sitting on the ground, and Henry hurriedly stepped forward to help Madame Bezhen up.
