Chapter 398: The Palace Maiden Who Repays Her Kindness
"King Lantian, although I have no evidence, I can be sure that Shangguan Niangniang was forced to death by Princess Taiping!"
Li Tao was silent for a long time, and asked in a deep voice: "Even if Princess Taiping forced Shangguan Zhaoyi to death, why did you want to seek revenge from me?" ”
Yuan'er said: "Shangguan Niangniang chatted with me when she was there, although Princess Taiping is a woman, there are not many people who may be able to fight her, Zhongzong is not good, Queen Wei is not good, King Xiang is not good, King Linzi is not good, only King Lantian can cure her." It's a pity that not long after she said this, she ......"
Speaking of this, Yuan'er couldn't help but sob.
Li Tao sighed: "Shangguan Zhaoyi is worthy of being a talented woman among women, and her views are really unique. ”
"Exactly, now it seems that Shangguan Zhaoyi's words have been fulfilled one by one. Zhongzong was poisoned, Empress Wei was executed, King Xiang is now the emperor, and the entire government is controlled by Princess Taiping alone. Although I am now a maid by His Majesty's side, His Majesty can't even protect himself, how can I still take care of avenging Shangguan Wan'er? ”
Li Tao pondered for a while before saying, "Miss Yuan'er, for the sake of your loyalty to Shangguan Zhaoyi, I'll tell you the truth." Actually, I have long been thinking about avenging Shangguan Zhaoyi. ”
"Is this true?" This time it was Yuan'er's turn to be taken aback, and she stared at Li Tao in disbelief.
"Miss Yuan'er, I'll go get something for you, and you can sit down for a while."
With that, Li Tao turned around and left.
After a while, Li Tao went and returned, and he handed the letter written by Shangguan Wan'er on his deathbed to Yuan'er.
Yuan'er cried bitterly when he saw it.
"At the beginning. Cui Xiang also asked me to avenge Shangguan Zhaoyi, but I persuaded ......"
"Don't talk to me about that shameless man!" Yuan'er suddenly shouted hoarsely.
Li Tao was taken aback by Yuan'er's sudden attack. He looked at her in a daze.
Yuan'er said with a hideous face: "This villain, Shangguan Niangniang had a true affection for him at the beginning, but what about him? Shangguan Niangniang's bones were not cold, and he got into Princess Taiping's bed. ”
Li Tao got up and said, "Miss Yuan'er, you have wronged Cui Xiang!" ”
Yuan'er was about to speak, but Li Tao waved his hand to stop her and said, "You listen to me first!" ”
Li Tao did not hide it, and brought together the original agreement between him and Cui Xiang.
Yuan'er was dumbfounded. She opened her mouth and stammered, "Lantian King...... You're not coaxing me, are you, is that true? ”
"Do I need to coax you?" Li Tao sighed and said, "He endured so much criticism and infamy just for that moment. Including this time, please come. It was also his idea, he was afraid that you would not believe it and would not be able to explain it to you, so he asked me to come forward. ”
Yuan'er wiped a handful of tears and said: "Cui Langjun has no regrets for Shangguan Niangniang's meeting. And Shangguan Niangniang has a great favor to me. How could I be indifferent? Lantian King, you say, what do you need me to do? ”
Li Tao told Yuan'er about his plan, Yuan'er listened, lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "King Lantian, I have accepted your plan, but you also have to promise me one thing." ”
"Say it!"
"After I did this. I hope King Lantian will kill me! Yuan'er said word by word.
"What do you say? I'm not the kind of person who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges, Miss Yuan'er. Don't worry, after the deed, I will ensure that you are safe and sound, and then let you hide, and after Princess Taiping is removed, you can see the light of day again. ”
Yuan'er shook his head and said, "King Lantian, you will be mistaken, it's not that I don't believe you." Yuan'er has been an orphan since she was a child, it was Shangguan Niangniang who raised me, Shangguan Niangniang went, Yuan'er should have followed her, but in order to avenge Niangniang, I have survived to this day, and I should go too. Besides, I'm just a woman, and I will inevitably lose my mouth when I am caught and punished, won't it be a big deal? ”
Li Tao hurriedly shook his head: "Miss Yuan'er, don't do it!" ”
Yuan'er laughed miserably: "There is another most important reason why I did this. ”
"What?"
"King Lantian can use my death to blame Princess Taiping again, leaving her speechless. As for how to operate, I think Lantian King will definitely have a way. ”
Li Tao was shocked, he didn't expect Yuan'er, a weak woman, to be so resolute and come up with such a vicious idea in order to avenge her master.
Yuan'er saw that Li Tao was silent, thinking that Li Tao did not agree with his thoughts, so he urged: "King Lantian, Shangguan Niangniang said that you are a decisive person, so you should make up your mind." If King Lantian doesn't do it, I will only kill myself, but I will be cheaper Princess Taiping. ”
After a long time, Li Tao bowed to Yuan'er and said, "Li Tao has thanked Miss Yuan'er on behalf of Shangguan Zhaoyi." ”
……
Yuan'er mixed the red arrow powder with poison, mixed it in the white fungus soup and brought it to Li Longji, somehow, his hands trembled, his feet trembled, his eyes were black, and he fell in front of the palace, and the medicine soup fell on the marble floor, and suddenly there was a black trace, and he led a dog to eat it, and died after screaming twice.
Li Dan learned that this matter was unstoppable, and ordered Yuan'er to be brought in for detailed interrogation, and Yuan'er confessed that he was instructed by Princess Taiping, and the truth of the matter was revealed.
……
At this moment, Princess Taiping was sitting in a sedan chair and was hurrying to the way into the palace. Princess Taiping felt very embarrassed, she really wanted Li Longji to die, and agreed to let Cui Xiang carry out this matter. But now, Li Longji was not poisoned, but implicated himself. According to the news from the inside information planted next to Li Dan, Yuan'er confessed that she personally arranged for her to poison Li Longji. Princess Taiping faintly felt that there was a problem here, so she had to enter the palace as soon as possible to explain to Li Dan that if she couldn't make Li Dan believe in herself, then the future would not be easy.
"Brother Huang, how can you believe my words? San Lang is my own nephew, how can I do anything to San Lang? ”
Li Dan glanced sideways at Princess Taiping: "That Gong'e has already confessed to me, you arranged for her to do this in person, and now that the human and material evidence is there, what else do you have to quibble?" ”
Princess Taiping was bored when she heard it, she knew and agreed to Cui Xiang's work, but she had never seen that Gong'e, how could she arrange for her to do this in person? What is this not planting?
How could Princess Taiping swallow this breath, she immediately jumped up: "Brother Huang, that slut dares to slander me, where is she now?" I'm going to confront her face to face. ”
Before Li Dan could speak, he saw Yang Siqiao come in, he whispered something in Li Dan's ear, and then quietly retreated.
Li Dan stood up and stared at Princess Taiping, without saying a word, with anger, sadness, helplessness, and a trace of despair in his eyes...... (To be continued......)
