Chapter 342: Poisoning the Man
"You kid can't be a little more careful, although Taimi is your woman, but you can't be casual in front of the public! can't you pay a little attention to your duke's image?" Li Zijun had just stepped into Gladys's carriage when she scolded him with a slap in the face.
"Princess, have you really been in a coma?" Li Zijun said as he turned his head to look at Lilian next to him, his eyes scared Lilian all over, and he couldn't help but wave his hand to him secretly.
"Don't scare Lilian, this matter has nothing to do with her!"
"You go out first, Ed and I have something to talk about!" Gladys turned around and sent a panicked Lillian out of the carriage.
Li Zijun smiled and sent Lilian out of the carriage, and then naturally sat opposite Gladys.
"Finally willing to talk to me! Tell me, what's going on with the 'mixed poison' in your body?"
"You can know that I am molesting Taimi, but you must not tell me that you have such a big accident with you!"
"I'm looking for you today for this purpose! We have entered the territory of the Ziqing Empire, and it is time for you to understand some things!"
"In order to hurry as soon as possible, we only brought 500 cavalry with us this time to protect us. Although they are all elite of the forbidden army, after all, they can't really be treated as ten! If there are any mountains and rivers along the way, I'm afraid that all of us will be thrown into this foreign land! If you have anything to say, you should say it quickly, I am afraid that after a while, it will be too late for you to say it!"
"Don't say it so evilly! You think I don't know, just around us, there has always been a mysterious team protecting our safety! Sneak attack on you? I'm afraid that ordinary people are really not easy to do!"
"What's more. Your sister, I have been operating in the Ziqing Empire for so many years, and I am not clear about any domestic turmoil. A slightly large-scale military transfer can't escape my ears and eyes! You shouldn't know that most of the intelligence system of the Ziqing Empire is in the hands of my sister and me!"
"The 'mixed poison' in my body is my secret. It also has its own special background and reasons, and it is not at all the same as our current situation!" Gladys did not wait for Li Zijun to speak, and blocked his sarcastic words.
"I never thought that this person would be used and attacked by others!"
Before hearing Gladys's words, Li Zijun had always suspected that Prince Woodrow, that is, Gladys's husband, had done it to her. Because according to the information he received, the relationship between the two of them is not only not harmonious, but on the contrary, due to Gladys's excessive strength, it is seen from the outside world. The relationship between them seems to be very tense!
But when Gladys uttered the word 'exploit', he immediately decided that someone else had poisoned him. As the eldest prince of the Ziqing Empire and the future heir, Woodrow is not so easy to be used.
Li Zijun hesitated a little in his heart, thinking that Gladys had always been able to protect the poisoner, he immediately guessed who the person who poisoned Gladys was, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Many people will speculate that Woodrow wants me to die, but in fact, he is probably the last one in the Ziqing Empire who wants me to die early! Although I am not a qualified wife, I am definitely his most effective assistant. He was able to sit in the position he is in today. I've done a lot of work!"
"My role is still crucial until he actually reaches the top, and he will never kill himself at this time!" Gladys sneered and waved his hand.
"Don't pretend to be me here, you kid! Your guess is correct, that person poisoned me!"
"Princess. What are you talking about? Why am I confused all of a sudden!" Li Zijun instantly filled his eyes with doubts and looked at Gladys with a puzzled face.
"Boy, don't be so emotional. If you don't care about my life and death, you will kill that person. I really didn't expect that this kid of yours had already put your claws into the Ziqing Empire!"
"Don't deny it, if you don't know much about my situation. How could it be possible to make a judgment so quickly!"
"Princess, are you overestimating me? I really didn't think of who was going to harm you, I just felt a little unworthy and angry for you!" A duke has installed a secret agent in another country, this is not a trivial matter, to put it mildly, this is the heart of disobedience! After this exchange, Li Zijun has indeed established a good personal relationship with Gladys, but there is still a big gap between this and absolute trust. No matter what, Li Zijun could not admit that he had done these things in front of Gladys.
"Overestimation is not overestimated, you kid knows best in his own heart! It's just that no matter what your kid wants to do, it has nothing to do with me at the moment, and I don't bother to ask you about those things!"
"But there is one thing I want you to promise me: whether or not I can get rid of the poison on my body in the future, you can't do anything to him!" Gladys said as he looked at Li Zijun very seriously.
"Then you better not say his name, because without Bixia's will, I can't guarantee anything!"
"You kid is really cautious!" Gladys thought that Li Zijun would not be able to resist such a temptation, and inadvertently revealed some secrets. But what she didn't expect was that in the face of her pressing step by step, Li Zijun's answer was not leaky.
"Well, all you have to do is promise me: you will not take revenge on him for my sake without an order, and I will tell you his name. Of course, you can't talk about it to anyone else!"
Li Zijun looked at Gladys quietly for a while, and he finally nodded helplessly.
"You guessed it right, the person who poisoned me was none other than Woodrow's eldest son, Walder!
Gladys had a brief marriage before marrying Woodrow, and his ex-wife died of hemorrhage after giving birth to Walder!
Woodrow and Gladys were eight years apart, and when they were united, Ward was almost ten years old.
"It seems that your stepmother is not very good! Your cheap son is going to kill you!" Li Zijun originally thought that his ridicule would make Gladys furious, but he didn't expect that she would show a lonely expression.
"Our relationship has actually been good, I really can't understand that he would do this to me!"
"Maybe he's just confused, maybe it's your misjudgment!" Li Zijun sighed and comforted her.
"I'm usually very careful with what I eat, and you should be aware that I don't eat food from other people. ”
"And before and after my poisoning, I never went out to any banquets, but only tasted a few bites of the pastries that he personally delivered. I'm more inclined to your former statement, he's just confused!" Gladys shook his head, a rare bitter smile.
"No matter what high-sounding reasons he has, he can't hide the fact that he has caused a heinous disaster, and he will eventually pay a huge price for his actions!" Li Zijun's voice was full of murderous energy.
"You promised me that you wouldn't retaliate against him!"
"Do you think that if I didn't say Virgil Bixia, I wouldn't know the truth of the matter? Once he found out about it, do you think he would let Ward go because of the so-called 'momentary confusion'?"
"Maybe you should hope that Bixia will give me the task of revenge, so that I will make him suffer less because of my promise to you!"
"Alright, let's not dwell on this matter any longer, I'll keep this a secret for you until Bixia asks me about the situation! Now you can tell me who you suspect is taking advantage of Walder, right?
"In fact, this question has been bothering me for a long time!"
"Ziqing is different from Dongyu, my father-in-law has already set an heir for himself, and at the same time handed over all rights except military power to Woodrow. ”
Over the years, although Woodrow was still a prince on the surface, in fact, he had begun to carry out the duties of the emperor. ”
"The old emperor of Ziqing did this, originally hoping to avoid the mutual conflict between princes to the greatest extent!" Speaking of this, Gladys sighed deeply.
"Ziqing, this supreme is too idealistic! if it was really as simple as he thought, there wouldn't be so many brothers in the royal family!"
"It seems that your suspicion is your husband's brother! Can you be specific? This will also save us some time in our search for an antidote. ”
"Second Prince Curtis and Eighth Prince Walter! They are the brothers of the same mother, and they are also the two most outstanding princes of the Ziqing Empire besides Woodrow!"
"Curtis is somewhat similar to you, he is also a sword saint and a military genius! Many years ago, he led the Ziqing army to repel the attacks of Fengqi many times, and made great contributions to Ziqing. ”
"A few years ago, as Feng Qi changed its strategy towards Ziqing, the war between the two countries gradually decreased. Curtis, who had no place to use, took the initiative to leave the barracks, and he devoted more time to studying martial arts, and after years of hard work, he finally successfully advanced three years ago and became another Sword Master master of the Ziqing Empire. ”
"This person has a very wide range of friends, and as far as I know, he has a friend who wants to use 'mixed drugs'!"
"Being able to take the initiative to give up the power in his hands and concentrate on cultivating martial arts, it seems that such a person shouldn't have any ambition to reach the top?" Hearing this, Li Zijun looked at Gladys with some puzzlement.
"You're right, Curtis really has no ambitions! I suspect he has a problem because of his own brother Walter!" (To be continued......
