Chapter 7 The Richest Man is Poisoned
The next day, the morning sun shone gently on Yu Xiaoqiao. She felt dizzy and saw the two little ones standing at the door, not knowing whether to go in or back, so she joked.
"When, being so pretentious is not your style!"
The two of them felt embarrassed and hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
Yu Xiaoqiao casually threw a bunch of bamboo sticks from the bedside to them, "Would you like to break one off?"
The two broke it easily.
"Break three?"
The two of them broke it easily again.
"Fold the whole thing?"
The two of them tried their best, their faces turned red, their necks became thick, their hands were sore, but the sticks did not break.
Yu Xiaoqiao looked at the two of them and smiled.
"A single chopstick can be easily broken, but ten chopsticks can be tightly held together. A drop of water will not dry up unless it enters the sea. In this life, even if our bones are broken, our tendons are connected. We must think and work together, and only then can the Yu family get better and better. Do you understand?"
The two nodded deeply: "Understood, this time, thank you sister!"
This scene was seen by the two ladies outside the door.
The second wife sighed: "As expected, the old lady brought him up! His knowledge is extraordinary!"
The third wife nodded and said "hmm".
After that, the two of them went into the house and thanked Yu Xiaoqiao.
After a while, the two little ones became Yu Xiaoqiao's fans.
They were either learning poetry and songs around her, or clamoring to eat hotpot, barbecue, Peking duck... those delicious foods they had never tasted, or vying to play bee, rooster and hen with her... those games they had never played before.
One night, the man in black entered the study again.
"My Lord Prime Minister, it has been confirmed that Young Master Si has been poisoned and is in danger of death!" said the man in black with a bow.
Yu Wenrui's calm face suddenly became turbulent, "No wonder the palace blocked the news. Who did it? What kind of poison was it?"
The man in black said in a deep voice: "The poisonous Lan Fenghuang of Qi State wants to use the antidote to exchange for the crown prince Qi Tianheng. I don't know what poison it is, but I only know that the imperial doctors and folk masters are all helpless!"
Yu Wenrui clenched his fists and pounded the desk, "Let Ruoxing come back and take a look."
"Here!"
The man in black bowed and left.
"Miss Yu, one is good news and the other is bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Lao Mu ran in from outside and asked, shaking his head.
"First - okay!" Yu Xiaoqiao raised her finger and replied lazily.
"Your arranged marriage is now invalid!" Lao Mu shook his cute tail.
"What?" Yu Xiaoqiao suddenly stood up, sitting up on the bed, and asked in surprise: "Why?"
"Because of bad news!" Lao Mu shrugged his dog neck and scratched his front paws.
Yu Xiaoqiao climbed down from the bed and set up Lao Mu, "Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now!"
"The richest man has been poisoned and won't live long!" Lao Mu looked excited.
"Oh! In this terrible feudal dynasty, people are either assassinated or poisoned. It's so hard to survive!" Yu Xiaoqiao sighed sadly.
"Modern society is good, modern society is good. We can live in peace and till old age!" Lao Mu couldn't help humming a little tune.
"I have an invisibility cloak in my space. Can I sneak over and take a look?" Yu Xiaoqiao said inexplicably.
Seeing that trouble was coming, Lao Mu quickly went back to the doghouse, buried his head in the quilt, and shouted, "Let's mind our own business and live a few more years, okay? Besides, don't you want to cancel the engagement? That's exactly what you want!"
"You stupid fool! He arranged a marriage with me, and then he died. I am in the Great New Kyoto, how can I survive here?! I don't want to be an 'unlucky person'. I have to save my face, okay?"
Yu Xiaoqiao modified the invisibility cloak into the size of Lao Mu in a few steps.
She grabbed the dog's scruff and walked out, completely ignoring its nagging, and drove towards Si Mansion.
Si Wenming's face turned blue, and his eyes, lifeless, occasionally opened.
The cracked and purple lips were trembling slightly, and he was breathing out more than he was breathing in.
A faint scent of gardenia wafts in the air.
Si Wenxin stood far away, her eyes swollen like walnuts.
Yu Xiaoqiao thought to herself, the little girl at the city gate that day was actually her, no wonder she was so anxious.
Looking at the way she entered the city, the Si family is indeed not simple and quite noble!
"I wonder if the eldest princess can ask the emperor to release the person in exchange for the antidote!" The gray-haired housekeeper Si wiped his tears with his sleeve and said sadly.
Si Wenming half-closed his eyes and spoke in an almost inaudible voice, "Wen Xin, in the next two days, go to the palace and ask the emperor to... withdraw the arranged marriage!"
Yu Xiaoqiao looked at Si Wen, who was barely breathing, and wondered if he was afraid that his death would bring bad consequences to my reputation.
So kind? No way!
"Da da da!"
Outside the house, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar.
A suave, elegant and noble young man walked in quickly.
"Wen Xin/slave, pays respects to His Highness." Everyone saluted together.
Wang Yan!
Yu Xiaoqiao was surprised when she saw the person coming.
As expected, he was a nobleman, and he had a close relationship with Si Wenming.
what a small world!
"What's the situation?" Wang Yan's eyes were full of worry.
Si Wenxin cried, "There are only ten days left. Qingguo said that if my brother doesn't take the antidote within two months, he will definitely die!"
Wang Yan sat down beside the couch, his eyes filled with heaviness, and held Si Wenming's hand tightly.
"I never thought that after not seeing each other for several years, we would be in such a situation when we meet again. The palace has blocked the news, and I just learned about it today. I must ask my father to release Qi Tianheng in exchange for the antidote."
Si Wenming raised his lips and said, "The road back to Beijing is full of ups and downs... Be extremely careful in the future! Take good care of Wen Xin and the Si family for me, and..."
Si Wenming seemed to have more to say, but perhaps because he didn't have the strength or he suddenly thought of something, he never uttered it.
"Wang Yan, you're so annoying! The person is almost dying, and you're just wasting time!" Yu Xiaoqiao cursed in her heart.
Wang Yan seemed to sense something and sneezed twice.
He stood up, looked at Si Wenming deeply, then turned and left.
After everyone left, Si Wenming fell asleep.
Yu Xiaoqiao used a sleeping pill to knock down the servant who stayed behind, and only then did she dare to show her head, and she let Lao Mu out of the invisibility cloak.
At this time, the palace was also making a difficult decision.
The eldest princess knelt before the emperor for a long time, crying with tears in her eyes, which made her look even more charming and moving.
"Royal brother, Ming'er grew up under your care... You and Yougo have been brothers since childhood. He passed away early, leaving only this bloodline. I beg you, Royal brother, to pardon Qi Tianheng and buy an antidote for Ming'er!"
The emperor's face turned pale, he held his forehead with one hand, and his lips slightly parted.
There was a noise and Wang Yan rushed into the imperial study.
The eldest princess was still kneeling on the ground, and the rain continued to fall.
Wang Yan knelt down and begged.
"Father, please save Wen Ming... No matter how powerful Qi Tianheng is, or how important he is to the Qing Kingdom, we can find another way to deal with him in the future. The dead cannot be resurrected..."
The emperor's already gloomy face became even uglier, and he sighed in his heart: On one side is the country of our ancestors, and on the other side...
The emperor looked at the bouquet of gardenias on the table, his Adam's apple trembling, and the past churning up in his mind, unable to be suppressed anymore, like a torrent of water.
A handsome young man and a brave young girl, dancing with swords in hand, their eyes moving and full of affection.
Li'er, are you okay over there?
Can you blame me?
After an unknown amount of time, the emperor slowly spoke with great difficulty, "Wait another five days. If there is no improvement after five days... report back quickly! Keep posting the notice and offer a large reward!"
After everyone left, the emperor's body softened and he supported the table with both hands, holding up his body which felt as heavy as a lead block.
Li'er, I cherish my life!
However, Qi Tianheng has the key to the Qi treasury, left behind by the previous king of Qi. It contains huge treasures, enough to flatten Daxin.
If you are not careful, you will knock over the teacup on the table.
"boom!"
Lao Mu jumped up and knocked over the vase of gardenias on the bedside table.
