Chapter 197: Backup Plan

"Ah Qiao, what's going on?" Zhao Guangyi heard Li Lianqiao's words and hurriedly asked.

"Second brother, if you want to be foolproof in all plans, you must have a backup plan." Li Lianqiao said.

"Backup?" Zhao Guangyi was stunned.

"You don't really think I'm going to give this thief girl the poison." Li Lianqiao said.

"I was skeptical at first, but when you said that this person could use it, I thought it might be true." Zhao Guangyi said.

"To plan a big event, it's best to hide it from your own people, and if you believe it, it's done." Li Lianqiao said.

"You ......" Zhao Guangyi was taken aback, he always felt that Li Lianqiao was under his control.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, second brother, I told you to let Duan Meimei bring poison in, you arrange someone to investigate, and if we find out, we will send her to prison, but she will at most attempt to poison, right." Li Lianqiao said.

"Yes." Zhao Er nodded.

"What will happen to the Queen Mother? Do you think Duan Meimei wants to kill her? Li Lianqiao asked.

"My mother may spare her." Zhao Guangyi said.

"That's the problem, if the medicine doesn't go down to people, people don't know how to hurt." Li Lianqiao said.

"What do you mean......" Zhao Guangyi felt something cold running down his back, and it was a cold sweat.

"There is still someone from mine in the palace, and that person is the real poisoner." Li Lianqiao said.

Zhao Erda opened his mouth, what else could he do?

"I'm giving this little slut an antidote." Li Lianqiao pointed to pity.

"Antidote?" Pity was taken aback.

"If she is obedient and mixes this medicinal powder into the seasoning, the old queen mother will only have a little illness, but it is enough to knock Duan Meimei out of the palace and prevent her from cooking."

"But this slut was clever and didn't put the antidote in, and now, it is estimated that the medicine has worked, and the betrayal of this little slut may kill the Queen Mother."

"Give me the antidote!" Zhao Guangyi yelled.

"Just got eaten by this little slut." Li Lianqiao said.

"How to save!" Zhao Guangyi glared at Li Lianqiao.

"Your imperial doctor of the Great Song Dynasty naturally has a way, but it really can't work, and Xu Jin." Li Lianqiao looked a little careless.

"You!" Zhao Guangyi is about to have a seizure.

"Lord Wang, sit down, adjust your breathing before leaving, and go back to your house to wait for the notice."

"What?"

"Then do you want to go to the palace now?" Forsythia asked.

"Nonsense, that's my mother!"

"As soon as the Queen Mother was poisoned, you came, if it wasn't you who poisoned, who else could it be?" Li Lianqiao said.

Zhao Er, who was still thunderous just now, suddenly calmed down.

The greed for everything that has already diluted a person's most primitive and simple feelings.

"Adults, you should know what not to do. If your brother knows about this, even if he loves you again, he will give you to death, or let Xu Jin kill you. Li Lianqiao said slowly.

Big brother did it.

poisoned the old lady, this matter has broken through the bottom line of the elder brother to forgive the younger brother.

"The current queen mother still hopes to make you the emperor's younger brother, maybe she has already told the emperor ......," Li Lianqiao said.

"So, you've been planning for a long time?" Zhao Guangyi looked at Li Lianqiao and felt that this was like a person he didn't know at all.

"No, otherwise I wouldn't have let this little slut send the antidote, but the effect is not bad now, right?" Li Lianqiao said.

Zhao Er sat down, his breathing gradually turning from rapid to gentle.

"That's not a mortal poison, it should make people seriously ill, and I don't want to kill the Queen Mother, that's your mother."

"You still know it's my mother...... You shouldn't ......"

"Shouldn't I? Or shouldn't this little slut? Li Forsythia pointed at pity.

Zhao Guangyi is not ready to turn against Li Lianyi, he still needs this most important ally.

All his anger was transferred to Pity.

Pity looked at Zhao Guangyi, and laughed instead.

She was already devastated, she had not only been involved in this matter, but she had heard so much about it, and she knew that she was not lucky.

"Little slut, what are you laughing at?" Zhao Guangyi said viciously.

"Zhao Er, you are really a coward." Mercy said.

Zhao Guangyi slapped pity fiercely.

"You are really far worse than Xu Xianggong, he is gentle, kind, and treats people very well, and you, with this kind of vicious mother-in-law, murdering your own mother-in-law, are still ......"

Li Lianqiao didn't wait for mercy to finish speaking, and cast a heart-piercing spell on mercy.

Mercy's body twisted into a ball, struggling and rolling on the ground.

"What? Do you dare to say cruel things if you feel that you are not afraid of death? Li Lianqiao said.

Pity moaned and gasped, but she didn't beg for mercy.

"I tell you, whoever is the least afraid of death will beg me to kill him in front of me!"

Li Lianqiao took the curse and gasped pitifully, tears rippling.

"This is the person who betrayed you, second brother, you should do it yourself, I'll go out first, you call me when you're okay." Li Lianqiao said.

"Coward! I'm so blind that I used to be so tempted by you! Pity gritted her teeth and looked at Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi grabbed Pitian's neck and began to increase the strength of his hand.

The girl's face was flushed, and in a moment her eyes became dull and gray.

Zhao Guangyi had not killed anyone at close range and face to face, so when he came back to his senses, he was also startled.

Zhao Guangyi opened the door, and Li Lianqiao turned his back to the direction of the door.

"The first time was hard? Well? Is it the first time it is difficult to kill someone, or is it the first time it is difficult to become a man? Forsythia smiled and stroked his face.

"No kidding!" Zhao Er said angrily.

Li Lianqiao used his lips to find Zhao Er's lips.

"Big husband, sooner or later you have to embark on the ghost road of power, enter the industry early, enjoy it early, realize it late, and endure hardships."

Li Lianqiao felt that Zhao Er did not reject her kiss, well, there was a play.

Suddenly, Zhao Guangyi roughly dragged her into the room and threw her on the big bed.

Li Lianqiao lay on the bed and suffered Zhao Guangyi's negative energy, and let out a comfortable murmur.

What she didn't know was that when Zhao Guangyi was doing all this, he forced himself to look at the gray eyes and slightly open mouth of Mercy, and Pity knelt on the ground and lay on the big bed.

This made Zhao Guangyi as solid as a rock - he really found it exciting.

The eldest princess, Li Lianqiao, may have taught a good student who is out of the blue.

In the palace on the second day of the first lunar month, the old queen mother was overjoyed when she saw Duan Meimei.

"After eating the New Year's dishes made by the imperial chef for several days, I felt so greasy that I couldn't swallow it, but fortunately you came back."

"Old lady, look at what you said, if you are willing to eat, I am willing to do it, if you like me to accompany you, I will accompany you."

"Look, how nice it would be for me to have a daughter-in-law like you."

"What you said, old lady, the son is the son of heaven and the prince, can the daughter-in-law still cook by herself? Besides, a godson is not a son? Goddaughter-in-law, that's also a daughter-in-law, isn't it? ”

"Of course it is, but ah, I always feel that now you are more like the old lady's daughter, Xu Jin is now in my heart, and has no status."

Duan Meimei knew that Empress Dowager Du was joking, and every bit she did here would become her good impression of Xu Yongzhi.

"Hey, by the way, today is the second day of junior high school, and it is said that I will go back to my parents' house." Empress Dowager Du said.

"My mother's family has no one, and now I will accompany you, even if I go back to my parents' house." Duan Meimei said.

"Does Xiaogui have no mother's family anymore?" Empress Dowager Du said.

"Yes, her father was an official of Yan'an Prefecture, and his family was killed by horse thieves when he was a child." Duan Meimei said.

"Then the old lady will let people call her, you two will celebrate the New Year at your mother's house." Empress Dowager Du said.

Xiaogui came quickly, and came after receiving the news, this girl is also very sensible, and she brought a lot of dim sum ducks and geese, which is ready at a glance.

"The concubine knocks on the Queen Mother." Xiaogui lay on the ground and kowtowed.

"Okay, just like Xu Jin, just call your mother."

"Thank you, mother."

The meal was very happy, firstly, Duan Meimei's recently updated recipe, grilled fish with lemongrass and chicken stewed with coconut in the Southern Han Dynasty are indeed delicious; second, the old lady didn't see Duan Meimei for a few days, and she was really happy in her heart; The third is the arrival of Xiaogui.

Xiaogui is also a good storyteller: climbing the snow mountain in the Peach Blossom Spring, taking a fox in the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and marrying a daughter-in-law with a water thief, the old lady's eyes are straight when she listens to it.

"Ah, Xiaogui, you really have been traveling from south to north since you were a child." Empress Dowager Du said.

"They all went with Xianggong." Xiaogui explained.

"Wouldn't Xu Jin feel inconvenient when he took a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl out? He's too big a young master. Empress Dowager Du said.

This must be explained, lest Xiang Gong be treated as a womanizer.

Xiaogui briefly told Empress Dowager Du about his male and female situation.

Unexpectedly, the old lady did not mean to discriminate at all, but comforted: "Although you can't give birth, don't go to your heart, the child is not in the bloodline, but in the upbringing, whoever raises the child must be who's." ”

After the meal was finished, the internal officials removed the cups and plates, and the old queen mother picked up the herbal tea and poured it for the three of them.

"Try it, the herbal tea I prepared myself, the method given to me by my mother-in-law, Mrs. Fu, said that it has the effect of suppressing thirst, and young people can drink it and also be beautiful."

Empress Dowager Du picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Duan Meimei picked up the teacup for the second time, but remembered something and put it down again.

"By the way, the decoction is ready, I'll get it."

Xiaogui picked up the teacup and smelled the smell, but he felt that something was wrong.

"Mother, what kind of tea is this?"

"There's grass cassia ming, can't you get used to it?"

"No, mother, the smell of cassia is covered, and there seems to be a very domineering drug."

Before Xiao Gui finished speaking, he saw Empress Dowager Du suddenly slip off the chair, and her body was constantly twitching.

It was also fortunate that the Empress Dowager Du invited Xiaogui into the palace to "go back to her parents' house" in a thought, otherwise, the old lady was afraid that she would die at that time.

Xiaogui knew that this was poisoning, and immediately shouted a warning.

"You go and get the Imperial Doctor! You go and report to the official! You watch this pot of tea, no one is allowed to touch it, Sister Meimei, bring the thick salt soup! ”

Smoke soup is an emetic agent.

Duan Meimei hurriedly took the salt soup and poured it into the old lady, and the old lady drank it and vomited it all over the ground with a bang.

"Amitabha! It's too salty! How do you give salt water to the old lady! ”

"Just spit it out!" Xiaogui commanded loudly.

Empress Dowager Du vomited three times, and Xiaogui didn't care about it, took out the antidote pill from the medicine bag on her body, cut half of it and stuffed it into the old lady's mouth, this medicine can protect her heart.

When they put the old lady into the back room and lay down, Zhao Kuangyin also hurriedly arrived with Zhang Dejun.

The old lady fell into a deep sleep and seemed to be in good condition.

"What's going on?" Zhao Kuangyin asked Duan Meimei.

"Someone poisoned it," Xiao Gui took over, "check that pot of herbal tea." ”

"The prescription was given by Mrs. Fu Taiwei, and the medicine has gone through the Tai Hospital." The internal official told Zhao Kuangyin.

This Fu Taiwei is none other than the father-in-law of Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, the mother of the queen mother, and the mother of the princess of Jin, Fu.

"Call the dick!" Zhao Kuangyin suppressed his anger and said.

The Fu family is the envoy of the Great Festival, and Fu Taiwei is also the grandfather of Chai Zongxun, the little emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

But it's still possible to call the second child in and scold him first to relieve his anger, and then investigate the matter.

"Official, the imperial doctor is here." The internal officer came in and reported.

"Hurry up and let them see the Queen Mother!" Zhao Kuangyin said.

The imperial doctors rushed in, asking the old lady for the pulse one by one, and Zhao Kuangyin looked at Xiaogui.

"Mrs. Wu Guo, thanks to you this time."

"Don't say that from the official family, the matter has not been investigated, and all the people in this palace are suspicious."

"Did you notice something strange in the tea?"

"yes, it doesn't taste right."

"How wrong."

"I can't say for sure, please ask the official family to announce that my father-in-law comes in, he is more familiar with medicinal properties than me."

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly sent someone to summon Xu Yongzhi.

His own mind was racing, thinking of all the unruly or shady enemies.

"Who would be at odds with someone like Fu Si and ready to frame him?"
