Lu Yi was uneasy, covering his mouth and yawning from time to time, and broke out in a cold sweat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoEver since the disappearance of the merchant who sold him Sanssouci for him, he felt that something was wrong. The reason is actually very simple, he saw Sun Quan love the soup made from the carefree grass, and finally didn't resist the temptation, and took out the hidden carefree grass and tasted it, and felt delicious when he tasted it, and then slowly got better on this mouthful, and soon felt that he couldn't do without this carefree grass, and he always felt that something was missing if he didn't drink a bowl of soup every day.

Although Sanssouci is expensive, Lu Yi has a lot of income, especially after doing school work, many people gave him a lot of gifts for safety, although Lu Yi's official position is not high, but his family wealth is quite rich, and he doesn't even pay much attention to the business that he used to rely on for a living. A year's hard work is not worth a bribe, this money is too hard to come by, Lu Yi feels that it is a big mistake to do business so hard before.

However, now he was holding the gold but could not find the carefree grass, and bursts of sleepiness came up, making him irritable and weak, but also with bursts of palpitations.

He wasn't worried about himself, but worried about Sun Quanβ€”he knew that Sun Quan needed Sanssoucia more than he did, and that once Madame Wang's stock was exhausted, she would inevitably come back to ask for it, and if he couldn't get it by then, the matter would be revealed. This woman is no longer the original cautious woman, relying on Sun Quan's favor, she has almost regarded herself as the queen mother, it seems that her son Sun He has sat on the throne of King Wu, not only meddling everywhere, but even not so polite to him, a confidant. If Sun Quan was angered because of the Sanssouci incident, Lu Yi had no doubt that this woman would treat him as a substitute for the dead.

But how did the merchant disappear? Could it be that the business has not come back? The more Lu Yi thought about it, the more suspicious he became, he sent someone to visit the merchant privately, but he didn't know anything about it except that he was from Jiaozhou.

There are many businessmen from Jiaozhou, and almost all the businessmen pass through Jiaozhou, so how can he know where this businessman is. Lu Yi suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake, he didn't even seem to know whether this merchant was a Roman, a Sassanid, or a Kushan, anyway, those Hu merchants seemed to be similar in his eyes, not to mention that in addition to the merchants of these three countries, there were many other Hu merchants from small countries.

Just when Lu Yi was nervous, Sun Quan sent someone to call him, Lu Yi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately got into the carriage and rushed to the palace of King Wu. As soon as he entered the palace gate, Lu Yi felt a cool breath coming up from the bottom of his heart: Mrs. Wang knelt beside her with her hair scattered, her originally pretty cheeks had swollen into a pig's head, countless palm prints crisscrossed and bruised, Sun He sobbed and knelt beside him, but he didn't even dare to cry loudly, just pulled Mrs. Wang's arm and trembled. Mrs. Wang moaned weakly, almost paralyzed on the ground, and when she saw Lu Yi, her swollen eyes showed a resentful light, and she hissed: "Thief...... Son, you ...... You're harming ...... I ......"

"Where did this poison come from?" Sun Quan, whose face was pale, was like an enraged bull, strode up to Lu Yi, flew up and kicked him in the chest, kicking Lu Yi, who had just knelt down and was about to salute, to the back of his feet, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Poison? In an instant, Lu Yi was discouraged, feeling that everything he had done before was a dream. He has always felt that he is Sun Quan's confidant and his favorite minister, but now he finds that he is not even as good as a dog in Sun Quan's eyes.

"Speak quickly!" Sun Quan roared wildly, his voice hoarse.

"Buy...... bought. Lu Yi turned over and knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, his usual composure and calmness disappeared without a trace.

"Where did you buy it?" Sun Quan took out a knife and rested on Lu Yi's neck, and the murderous aura penetrated into his skin, making the hairs on Lu Yi's neck stand up.

Once upon a time, he felt that he was the kind of person who could talk and laugh in the face of blood and death, but when this danger suddenly came to him, he could no longer control his fear, and the whole person fell to the ground, unable to speak.

"Drag it down, torture it." Sun Quan jumped like thunder, kicked Lu Yi over, strode back, just went up a few steps, but felt that his legs were weak, he tripped and fell to the ground, his face hit the steps, and he was bleeding all over his face.

Sun Shangxiang was taken aback, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, dragged him to the hall to lie down, and ordered someone to call the imperial physician Ling Zhao Quan. Zhao Quan took Sun Quan's pulse and sighed silently. Sun Shangxiang was just about to speak, Zhao Quan shook his head silently, and motioned for Sun Shangxiang to speak outside the hall.

"The king is just angry for a while, it's not a big deal, it's just ......"

Sun Shangxiang frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "You have something to say." ”

"As long as you take care of yourself, the king's body is fine, but his pulse is fast and slippery, and the minister ...... I really don't know why. Zhao Quan arched his hand and said word by word: "I have seen this pulse minister when he checked the pulse of the king before, but it is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and the minister has not figured out what the reason is, and this time it seems to be more serious than any previous time, the minister's medical skills are not refined, I really don't know what this means." ”

At this moment, Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu rushed over when they heard the news, and just when they heard Zhao Quan's words, they glanced at each other, and while greeting Sun Shangxiang, they anxiously asked in unison: "Princess, can you invite a few doctors from Funan to come over?" ”

"Alas......" Sun Shangxiang smiled bitterly, did not answer their words, first instructed Zhao Quan to take medicine, and then told Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu about Sun Quan's poisoning. Xu Bu and the others were shocked and immediately at a loss.

"It's useless for you to be in a hurry, it's better not to make a noise, so as not to panic." Sun Shangxiang said helplessly.

Xu Bu and the others had tears rippling, so they had to nod and agree, and they kept guarding outside the hall, not leaving an inch.

In the evening, Sun Quan woke up, he was trembling, his eyes were scattered, when he saw Sun Shangxiang and others, he was just surprised, and then hissed: "Tang is coming...... Soup comes ......"

"There's no soup." Sun Shangxiang said hatefully, although she didn't have a good impression of Sun Quan, but now when she saw Sun Quan's appearance, she still felt very sad, "Are you still not deeply poisoned?" ”

"Medium...... Poisoning? Sun Quan was in a trance and understood, his eyes were dark, and then he shook his head painfully: "Soup, soup, I want to drink soup, I want to drink soup......"

Sun Shangxiang remembered what Sun Shao said, and knew that if Sun Quan was not allowed to drink this soup now, he was afraid that it would be useless to tell him anything. In desperation, she had to ask people to go to Mrs. Wang's palace to find soup, fortunately, these soups had to be prepared every day, and the people in the palace only knew that Mrs. Wang was unlucky, but they didn't know the reason for these soups, they took care of them carefully, and they didn't throw them away, and the people sent by Sun Shangxiang quickly brought a big pot of boiled soup.

Mrs. Bu carefully scooped some soup for Sun Quan, ready to wait for Sun Quan to drink, but Sun Quan was a little impatient, as soon as he smelled the smell of the soup, he kept sniffing his nose, Mrs. Bu just scooped it up, he snatched it, and he didn't care about the heat, he drank it clean in two sips, and while sticking out his tongue, he motioned to Mrs. Bu to scoop some more.

Sun Shangxiang looked at Sun Quan coldly, distressed and angry.

Sun Quan drank two large bowls of soup in a row, and then he let out a long breath as if he had returned his soul, lay down again, and was silent for a while, before he opened his eyes and looked at Sun Shangxiang: "What about Zhao Quan, what did he say?" ”

"He can't help it." Sun Shangxiang said coldly: "Don't expect Funan Academy, Funan Academy does not have a medicine to treat this disease." ”

Sun Quan was choked for a while, silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "He refuses to save me?" ”

"It's not that you don't want to save it, it's that you can't save it." Sun Shangxiang repeated what Sun Shao said again: "Whether you can survive or not depends on yourself." ”

"Look at myself?" Sun Quan muttered, his eyes gradually becoming sharper, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "What if you can't get through?" He turned his head and looked at Sun Shangxiang coldly: "Is he planning to attack Wu Guo and turn Wu Yue into a family?" ”

Sun Shangxiang also met Sun Quan's gaze coldly, with a contemptuous sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Do you think Wu Guo is very tempting?" ”

Sun Quan didn't say anything, just looked at Sun Shangxiang, without a trace of a smile, if it weren't for the deep sunken cheeks and gray complexion, he could hardly see any difference from him before, the majesty of not being angry made Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu who were standing on the side consciously close their mouths, for fear that they would cause trouble as soon as they opened their mouths. They looked at Sun Shangxiang nervously, but Sun Shangxiang was not shaken by Sun Quan's gaze at all, on the contrary, the ridicule in her eyes became more and more obvious.

The anger on Sun Quan's face became more and more intense, and his skinny hands were clenched tightly. In the past, he also connived at Sun Shangxiang, but he couldn't tolerate Sun Shangxiang showing this attitude in front of him.

"You're still like that, with only such a small piece of heaven in your eyes." Sun Shangxiang said disdainfully: "You don't know how big the world is, you don't know that the land you firmly grasp and refuse to let go is actually not so attractive, although this land is not yours in the first place." ”

"Not mine? Could it be his? Sun Quan suddenly became excited: "I know, you have always thought that this is the inheritance passed down by your father and brother, and everyone thinks that this should be his, but have you ever thought that if it weren't for me, this land would have been surnamed Sun a long time ago?" Cao Ying wanted, I defeated him, Liu Bei also wanted, and it was I who tried my best to keep this land, and now you say it's not mine? Whose is that? Sun Quan slapped the edge of the couch and roared loudly: "You say, whose is that?" Is it yours, is it his? No, this is mine, and no one can take it away. ”

Sun Shangxiang looked at the angry Sun Quan coldly, without saying a word, Sun Quan roared while beating his chest, two lines of turbid tears flowed down his thin cheeks, wet like a dull and irrelevant beard like withered grass, his voice slowly lowered, the roar turned into sobbing, and finally cried like a wronged child.

Sun Shangxiang squinted at Sun Quan, suddenly stretched out his hand, swept all the things on the case in front of Sun Quan to the ground, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and spread it on the case, stood up, looked down at Sun Quan condescendingly, and said with his chin: "Do you know this map?" Find out your land from above. ”

Sun Quan was stunned, stared at the hazy teary eyes, and subconsciously glanced at the map. The map is not big, it can be seen that it is only a brief map, there is no location of Wu marked on it, only the three countries of Han, Rome and Guishan, and the more detailed is a large piece of land between Rome and Kushan, which is divided into more than a dozen pieces, and several names are marked on it, including Li Yan, Lu Xun, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Xiahou Rong's name. Sun Quan quickly turned his gaze to the territory of the Great Han, although this piece did not indicate the location of Wei Shu and Wu Yue, but it was separated by several threads.

The location of the state of Wu is not difficult to discern. Sun Quan often looks at the map, and is not unfamiliar with the terrain, but most of the maps he used to see were maps in the Han Dynasty, and at that time he felt that the territory of Wu was not small, although it only accounted for half of the thirty states of Jingzhou, most of Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, but the actual area was close to one-fifth, but now he found that the fifth of the land that he has always been proud of is insignificant on this map, at best it is only about the same as the land marked as Cao Zhang, and it is obviously not worth mentioning compared with the vast territory of the Yue State.

Sun Quan immediately understood what Sun Shangxiang meant, and his face felt hot. He retracted his gaze, didn't dare to look at Sun Shangxiang again, turned his head in embarrassment, and said nothing.

Sun Shangxiang snorted and slowly rolled up the map: "Feng Xian wants to go to Luoyang to offer prisoners, and at the same time ask for a seal for Boyan and others, can you go?" ”

"Do you think I can go like this?" Sun Quan asked angrily.

"The Son of Heaven issued an edict to celebrate Fengxian in Luoyang, if you don't go as an uncle, then what will they think?" Sun Shangxiang inserted the map into his arms and said lightly.

"I ......" Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sighed: "I said Ah Mei, you said that I went to Luoyang like this, didn't you smear Feng Xian's face?" If so, why bring shame on yourself? Feng Xian has made immortal achievements, even if I don't go to the meeting, what can Cao Rui, Liu Chan and other children do with him? He asked Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and Li Yan to be crowned princes, which was clearly to strip Wei Shu's strength, from now on, would Wei Shu Wu still have anyone who could compete with him? ”

"How to solve that high matter?" Sun Shangxiang said bluntly: "Everyone in the world says that King Wu is confused by women and forces the prince to death, don't you want to explain?" ”

Sun Quan showed remorse on his face, hesitated for a long time, and then said in a dumb voice: "This is my Wu Guo's business, why do I have to explain it to others?" ”

"Don't forget, Wu is also a vassal state of the Great Han, if the Son of Heaven asks, so what?"

"And what do you say?" Sun Quan was annoyed, and asked Sun Shangxiang angrily: "You tell me, what should I do?" Let me go and ask the Son of Heaven for sin? ”

Sun Shangxiang frowned, and his tone softened: "Even if you don't go to Luoyang, you should make some preparations." The position of the crown prince has been empty for a long time, and you plan to spend it like this forever? ”

"I ...... I was originally ......" Sun Quan muttered a few words, suddenly sighed, two lines of tears overflowed his eyes again, and swallowed: "Zigao, ......"

"Where are Zigao's children?" Sun Shangxiang was not interested in talking to him, and said very bluntly: "Everyone in the world thinks that Zigao is dead and complains about him, why don't you take his son as the heir, first, you can block the mouth of the world, and second, you can comfort Zigao's spirit in the sky?" ”

Sun Quan frowned, his face sank, and after a long while, he said impatiently: "I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to decide this matter yet." Although Zigao is dead, I still have a few sons, why do I have to let Zigao's youngest son be the heir? You go back and tell him that I have my own opinions about the affairs of Wu State, and it is too early for him to become the Duke of Zhou. ”

Sun Shangxiang sneered and glanced at Sun Quan meaningfully: "Then you can do it yourself." After speaking, she saluted Queen Xu and Madame Bu, turned around and went out. Sun Quan rolled his eyes in anger, but he was helpless, he closed his eyes angrily and gasped, without looking at Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu. When Xu Bu and the others saw it, they sighed secretly, and had to leave the hall.

Sun Quan was lying on the couch, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he felt that this was Sun Shao's idea again, it seemed that he was seeking justice for Sun Deng, but in fact, he hoped to indirectly control the state affairs of Wu. Sun Deng's son is still young, and after the heir, he can only rely on Sun Shao's support to hold this land, and he is not Sun Shao's opponent at all.

Why should I make my grandson the heir? I have three more sons to choose from. Sun Quan snorted angrily, thinking of the right candidate in his mind, but his brain was a mess, and the energy aroused by the bowl of soup he had just drunk seemed to have been exhausted in the quarrel with Sun Shangxiang, and the fatigue came up again, making him can't help but open his mouth, yawned, and tears and snot flowed uncontrollably.

"Ali!" Sun Quan closed his eyes and screamed weakly.

"The king, the minister is here." Gu Li flashed out silently from the side, knelt in front of Sun Quan's couch, and carefully checked Sun Quan's situation. Sun Quan's weak appearance made him feel distressed, but he couldn't think about it.

"Again...... Bring me some soup. ”

"The king......" Gu Li looked at the soup that had been spilled on the ground, and said embarrassedly: "Just ...... All were beaten by the princess. ”

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, got up and glanced at the soup that was flowing all over the ground, and then remembered. He hesitated for a moment, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Go and let that slut boil a little more, I'm really ...... It's so uncomfortable. ”

Gu Li hesitated, quickly got up and ran out, and after a short time, he ran back empty-handed, and shook his head in the face of Sun Quan's longing gaze. Sun Quan was disappointed, and then he was furious, he used all his strength to prop himself up, and shouted loudly: "Go find me, arrest all the people in her palace, and try them one by one, if you can't make this soup, I will let them all die!" ”
