Chapter 53 The Time Traveler Who Was Cannon Fodder (6)

In fact, after the ending of the original rebirth story line, even if the prince changed his mind, Xie Yuanshuang's life was much better than many women in this world. After all, she was still a queen with fine clothes, delicious food and a group of servants. It was not Lu Changqing's turn to pity her.

But she really couldn't bear to see a heroine who had lived a second life and still loved a man regardless of the consequences even after being badly hurt by a man once. She didn't want to be like other reborn heroines who could kill gods and Buddhas and finally unify the country for eternity, but at least she should learn from her mistakes.

Xie Yuanshuang just lived too well, and developed a personality as indifferent as a chrysanthemum who looked down on power as dirt. She never understood that men can be relied upon and that boars can climb trees.

Lu Changqing's way of dealing with Qi Cheng was very simple and brutal. He didn't play tricks with him or engage in any conspiracy. He just assassinated him to death.

Sinners may be cleansed one day, but the dead will never have a chance to turn over even if they are cleansed.

Qi Cheng was able to attack the small inn at night, so Lu Changqing should learn from him and attack the general's mansion at night.

Qi Cheng's men only followed Lu Changqing during the day. No one followed her at night. After three o'clock in the morning, she changed into night clothes, covered herself from head to toe with only her eyes exposed, put the tools she had committed the crime in her pocket, and headed towards the general's mansion with ease.

The guards at the general's mansion were not strict, and Lu Changqing came to the courtyard where Qi Cheng lived without any hindrance.

There were two servants standing at the gate on night watch. Lu Changqing hid himself in the night, slowly walked along the wall to the back of the house, pried open the window with a knife and climbed in.

She approached the bed in the inner room as quietly as a cat, not daring to make any sound.

There was thunderous snoring in the room. Lu Changqing walked to the bed, but the person on the bed was still asleep.

Lu Changqing took out a bamboo joint from his arms, put it to his mouth, and blew a puff of white smoke towards the person on the bed.

Don't you like using drugs? This time I'll let you smoke as much as you want.

Feeling that the time was about right, Lu Changqing took out a water bag from the space. When she was still a high-level tasker, she dealt with a child-bearing system. It was a brain-dead world where a woman could have eight babies by giving birth to a son for a man to gain love by relying on her son. The arsenic she bought in the mall at that time has not been used up yet.

Now is the chance to give ancient doctors a little shock by using modern technology to purify chemical medicines.

Lu Changqing gently turned Qi Cheng's head over, put the bag of water to his mouth, and slowly poured the water mixed with arsenic in the bag into his mouth.

Feeling liquid flowing into his mouth, Qi Cheng swallowed it almost subconsciously.

Lu Changqing was afraid that Qi Cheng's movements would make too much noise and alert the people guarding outside the house, so before the toxicity of the arsenic took effect, she fed him the water, put the water bag back into the space, turned around and escaped through the window.

Sure enough, before Lu Changqing could run out of the general's mansion, there was chaos in the mansion.

Xie Yuanshuang was awakened from her sleep. In order to avoid sharing a room with Qi Cheng, she deliberately caught a cold, got up from the bed with her heavy head, changed her clothes, and went to Qi Cheng's residence with the help of maids and old women.

Before I got close to Qi Cheng's yard, I heard a woman crying and wailing from inside.

She was very familiar with this voice; it was her mother-in-law Rong Guanhua.

The small courtyard was brightly lit, and all the candles in the house were lit. Xie Yuanshuang was supported into the house. The house was in chaos, with women in coats coming in and out.

Xie Yuanshuang pushed the maid away and walked to Rong Guanhua, who was crying and almost fainting, with an anxious look on her face, asking what had happened.

Rong Guanhua saw Xie Yuanshuang crying even harder, and cried, "Yuanshuang, Cheng'er is in trouble."

Xie Yuanshuang took a deep breath, and the man took action!

Xie Yuanshuang rushed to the bed with an incredulous look on his face. Seeing the man on the bed holding his abdomen, vomiting and convulsing all over, the string in his heart tightened again.

This person is not dead yet.

Although the dose of arsenic that Lu Changqing administered was enough to kill an elephant, arsenic poisoning does not cause immediate vomiting of blood and death as described in TV dramas or novels. There is a long and painful process from poisoning to death.

Qi Cheng couldn't control the pain in his body. He felt like there was an iron rod stirring in his abdomen, and his internal organs were about to be vomited out. His breathing was rapid, his consciousness was groggy, and his vision began to blur. He seemed to see Xie Yuanshuang, his wife.

He saw his wife smiling at him. There were tears on her face, but a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

She seemed to be saying something to him, but he couldn't hear her. His ears began to tinnitus. He also couldn't see. There was only endless white in his sight.

Qi Cheng fell into a coma. His breathing was rapid and heavy, and it seemed that he was breathing out more than in.

The court physician knelt down at Rong Guanhua's feet. He had really tried his best. Qi Cheng could not be saved. His first priority now was to save his own life, so this was when he had to call in the imperial physician.

"Madam, I am not a good doctor and I am unable to diagnose what kind of poison the general has been poisoned with. The general is in a very critical condition. I am afraid that the only solution now is to go to the palace and ask the imperial physician to treat him."

Rong Guanhua looked at Xie Yuanshuang pleadingly. Xie Yuanshuang understood what her mother-in-law meant. She wanted her to go back to her parents' home to ask her father, the prime minister, to help invite the imperial physician from the palace.

Xie Yuanshuang didn't want to ask her father for help from the bottom of her heart. She was afraid that the imperial physician would come and really save Qi Cheng. But now Rong Guanhua came to her for help. If she still wanted to maintain her reputation, she had to go back to her parents' home.

Fortunately, the imperial physician came and said that the man was poisoned and there was no cure.

Qi Cheng dragged on until dawn, and finally closed his eyes forever.

Qi Rongguanhua threw himself on the person on the bed and cried until he almost fainted. He kept shouting "son" and his tears were full of blood. He was extremely miserable.

There was crying in the house, and Xie Yuanshuang threw herself on Prime Minister Xie and cried very sadly.

His son-in-law had gotten into such a big trouble that Prime Minister Xie followed Xie Yuanshuang back to the general's mansion at night and did not leave. Seeing his daughter crying so sadly, he also started crying.

It’s not that he couldn’t bear to part with his son-in-law, but the atmosphere was right and he had to hold back a few tears.

The general who had just returned from a victorious battle was inexplicably poisoned and died at home. This incident alarmed the court, and people from the Dali Temple came that same day.

After the autopsy, it could only be determined that Qi Cheng was poisoned, but the nature of the poison could not be determined. However, according to the description of the court doctor, the symptoms of poisoning were very similar to those of arsenic.

Everyone in the mansion was interrogated, especially the servants who were on night watch. They were almost tortured to extract a confession. As a result, after half a month of work, Qi Cheng's body had been buried, but there was still no clue about the case.

Having lost her husband at an early age and her son in middle age, Rong Guanhua seemed to have aged by more than ten years in an instant.

Xie Yuanshuang held the bowl and fed the medicine to Rong Guanhua one spoonful at a time. After Rong Guanhua drank a few sips, he turned his head away, not wanting to drink any more.

Xie Yuanshuang comforted the depressed Rong Guanhua: "Mother, please eat a little more. If your husband in heaven sees you like this, he will be worried."

Speaking of Qi Cheng, Rong Guanhua's tears flowed again, "He was so good, he just passed away like this." He looked at Xie Yuanshuang's belly and complained, "You too, you didn't get sick earlier or later, but you got sick as soon as he came back. We have been married for three years and we don't have any children. If I die, how can I face the ancestors of the Qi family?"

Xie Yuanshuang comforted herself in her heart not to argue with someone whose son had just died. She had already seen what kind of person her mother-in-law was in her previous life. All she had in her mind and eyes was about her son and the Qi family's incense. So she was not surprised at all that Rong Guanhua could say such words.
