Chapter 867: Threat
Empress Dowager Li's question made Yang Yunxi feel a little unreasonable: Originally, such a big thing should not have been hidden.
But...... Yang Yunxi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Why does the Queen Mother ask me?" Isn't that obvious? Or does the Queen Mother want to see chaos in the DPRK and China? β
Empress Dowager Li refused to admit it, but just looked at Zhu Li, her eyes flickering slightly.
Yang Yunxi sat on the chair, carefully watching the reactions of the Empress Dowager Li, and carefully figuring out the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Li.
"Now the Queen Mother has seen it, but I don't know what the Queen Mother thinks?" Yang Yunxi fiddled with the eight-treasure bracelet on his wrist, and then asked softly.
Empress Dowager Li didn't look at Yang Yunxi, but just stared at Zhu Li.
Yang Yunxi didn't care, she knew that Empress Dowager Li didn't seem to listen to her, but in fact, she was only afraid to listen attentively. So she wasn't polite at the moment: "I gave Prince An a little food." If you are the Queen Mother...... Then you can't blame me. β
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Li couldn't maintain her calm appearance any longer, Huo Ran turned her head, and a knife almost flew out of her eyes: "What did you say?" β
"What I said before was not just a casual remark." Facing the appearance of Empress Dowager Li eager to eat her, Yang Yunxi was not afraid at all, but said so lightly.
At the end, she looked at the little red ruby on the bracelet and looked at the Empress Dowager Li with a smile, but her eyes were cold and warned: "So, if you want to do anything in the future, the Empress Dowager must think about it first, what the consequences will be." β
Empress Dowager Li's face was so gloomy that she almost dripped water: "You dare to murder a member of the royal family?" β
It's just that Empress Dowager Li's questioning seems to be bluffing. If you want to say that it is questioning and harsh, but the smell of jealousy that is revealed can't be concealed.
Obviously, Empress Dowager Li was scared in her heart. Just as Yang Yunxi expected, Zhu Qi was her only weakness, and now Zhu Qi's life was pinched by Yang Yunxi, so she was afraid.
Yang Yunxi looked at Empress Dowager Li's bluffing, but felt a little comfortable in his heart. Finally, a little smile appeared on his lips. However, after seeing Zhu Li, this smile quietly converged again.
Empress Dowager Li slammed her sleeves and said in a contemplative manner: "Yang, if you do this, you are not afraid of what you do today, the past is retribution." β
"A toothless tiger, although it is still a tiger, can no longer be frightened by its teeth and claws." Yang Yunxi smiled, stared at the Empress Dowager Li's gaze and said slowly: "As for retribution-if the Empress Dowager is not afraid, what am I afraid of?" β
Mrs. Li looked gloomy: "I'm lazy to talk to you more!" But he hurried out. β
"Queen Mother, you are leaving, but what can and should not be done in the future, you have to think carefully. I'm not the emperor, and I won't care about your nurturing grace. Yang Yunxi finally "reminded" two sentences without being salty, and finally smiled and sent off Empress Dowager Li.
Empress Dowager Li hurriedly left at this time, naturally to see Zhu Qi's situation and see if she was targeting Zhu Qi.
Yang Yunxi calculated the time in his heart, and felt that it was perfect for Empress Dowager Li to pass over at this time, and she happened to be able to see Zhu Qi being poisoned. He was very satisfied, walked over and grabbed Zhu Li's fingertips, sighed and asked, "Da Lang, do you blame me for being like this?" β
didn't wait for Zhu Li to answer, she just smiled and shook her head again: "No, you won't blame me." Isn't it? β
Zhu Li...... Silence is silent.
Yang Yunxi suppressed the sadness in his heart, closed his eyes and recuperated while carefully thinking about what happened today.
Empress Dowager Li almost let the palace people carry the sedan chair all the way to the palace where Zhu Qi was. When she entered the palace, no one stopped her, and she went in quickly, but she happened to see Chen falling in Zhu Qi's arms.
Chen's face was pale, covering his abdomen and frowning slightly, his voice was weak and frightened: "Lord Wang, it's poisonous." β
Zhu Qi put his arms around Chen, stood up and shouted, "Call the Imperial Doctor!" β
However, before the words fell, Zhu Qi was also stumbled under his feet by the sudden pain in his abdomen, and he almost couldn't even hold Chen.
Chen's eyes widened: "Lord Wang, you-"
Zhu Qi saw Empress Dowager Li's face suddenly turned white, and he only had time to call out "Queen Mother", and the whole person fainted.
Chen let out a wail, hugged Zhu Li's neck, and suddenly cried out in fright: "What's the matter, Lord Wangβ"
Empress Dowager Li watched Zhu Qi fall, but she couldn't take a step under her feet, she just watched Zhu Qi lying there with his eyes closed, embarrassed. While my heart hurts like a knife, I only feel cold.
She felt that Yang Yunxi was clearly deliberate: if she didn't say those few nonsense words, or if she was faster on the road, would she be able to stop this scene? Zhu Qi will be fine......
If Yang Yunxi heard the Empress Dowager Li's words at this time, he was afraid that he would tell the Empress Dowager Li with a smile: This poison will take at least half an hour to take effect. So, I can't stop it.
Empress Dowager Li is not worried that Zhu Qi's life will be in danger this time: Yang Yunxi's purpose is clearer than anyone else.
Clenching her fingers tightly, Empress Dowager Li almost squeezed out the words from between her teeth: "Yang, you wait!" β
Yang Yunxi was naturally waiting: for Empress Dowager Li's anger, she had long been ready to bear it. And she knows very well that if she holds Zhu Qi's life for a day, then Empress Dowager Li will not dare to do anything to her.
Speaking of which, she really has to be grateful to the Chen family, if it weren't for the Chen family, where would there be such an opportunity to poison Zhu Qi? Although Zhu Qi ate things in the palace, Liu En said that he had tested the poison with a silver hairpin.
The poison is not in the food. It's not in the tea, either.
Thinking of Aunt Jing's whispered words, Yang Yunxi smiled, but he really admired the Chen family a little. It is said that the most poisonous woman's heart, but today she has seen it. And Zhu Qi and Empress Dowager Li, they probably thought about it in their heads, and they probably couldn't think of how this poison was hit.
Regarding the situation of Empress Dowager Li and Zhu Qi, although Yang Yunxi did not see it in person, he listened to it in detail, and it was no different from what he saw with his own eyes.
For the anger and indignation of the Empress Dowager Li, she didn't care much: How dare the Empress Dowager Li?
However, Yang Yunxi still didn't feel at ease and instructed Wang Shun: "I will hand over the lives of Ah Shi and Xiao Worm to you, if there is a half-point difference." Wang Shun, I don't want your life, because you are asking for my life. β
Yang Yunxi's tone didn't fluctuate much, but Wang Shun listened to it, but his heart was dark, and he almost didn't hesitate to kneel down and kowtow solemnly: "The slave is cheap, and I don't dare to guarantee it." But the slave and maid never failed to live up to the trust of their master. β
