Fast Travel: The Hundred-Life Couple
Chapter 97 Ginseng Spirit Cannon Fodder 05
Could it be that the emperor has been holding Bao Lian in the palace, not only to use her as an antidote for the prince, but also to force him to take out another family heirloom as he did before?
But, he doesn't have it in his hands now!
Before he could figure out what to do, the emperor, who was reviewing memorials, felt a fishy taste in his throat and suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood on a memorial that was written to him for greetings. He then collapsed, holding his chest.
"Quick, quick, notify the Queen and ask her to bring Miss Ye Baolian here!"
Qin Banban anxiously ordered people to carry the emperor away, while at the same time he sent people to ask the queen for help.
So, Ye Baolian was watched by Prime Minister Ye and Fang Yinyin, and a piece of meat was cut from her calf to be used as medicine for the emperor.
It turned out that the angina pectoris would not disappear, but would only shift. It shifted from the emperor and the empress who was worried about the emperor to Fang Yinyin and Prime Minister Ye who were worried about Ye Baolian.
But compared with the safety of the king, their heartache is nothing.
"Your Majesty, please investigate why my daughter's flesh and blood can alleviate the poison in you and the Crown Prince. Was she unknowingly fed the antidote by the person who poisoned her? By investigating my daughter's diet for the past two weeks, we can uncover the true identity of the demon."
Prime Minister Ye prostrated himself and begged.
The Emperor and the Crown Prince knew what he said very well. They had already investigated and suspected that the Tang Monk Fruit that Ye Baolian had eaten was the antidote to the poison in their bodies.
Someone was sent to ask Zhaixing Pavilion, but Zhaixing Pavilion flatly denied that Tang Seng Fruit had the effect of detoxification.
I wanted to buy a few Tang Monk Fruits at a high price, but the Star Picking Pavilion said they were all sold out. The prince bought all of them that day. I also wanted to buy pills that could cure all poisons, but they were also sold out.
When we asked the five buyers, including Qin Banban, we found out that they ate the food immediately after getting it, and there was no way to snatch it away.
The Zhaixing Pavilion was unyielding, and the emperor had learned his lesson and was helpless against the Zhaixing Pavilion.
Therefore, the only lifeline for him and the prince now is Ye Baolian.
Thinking of this, the Emperor said to Prime Minister Ye, "I have already investigated clearly, and the mastermind behind this is most likely the Zhaixing Pavilion. Even if it is not the Zhaixing Pavilion, they must have the Hundred Poisons Solution.
If you can find a way to get them to produce two Hundred Poison Elixir pills, I will abdicate the throne to the Crown Prince and allow him to marry Bao Lian as his queen."
Are you kidding? The throne is not as important as life.
It was obvious that Zhaixing Pavilion had a grudge against their royal family, and the royal family couldn't deal with them, so they poisoned them at every turn. The palace was already full of people, but they couldn't find the person who poisoned them.
Being an emperor is risky, and you need to be cautious if you continue to be one. Forget it.
What? You said Ye Baolian's coming-of-age ceremony hasn't been held yet? It doesn't matter. The two of them can buy tickets first and then board the ship.
"Really? It would be better to abdicate to me than to the crown prince. Although the throne is not a rare thing, I also want to sit on it."
At this time, Ye Xiaoli and Xiao Dongxu brought people in from outside the hall. The person who spoke was not Xiao Dongxu, but the smiling Ye Xiaoli.
Just kidding, half of the civil and military officials are controlled by them, and the other half are not worth being controlled.
The deputy commander guarding the palace and the emperor's personal eunuch Qin Banban had long since surrendered to them. At this point, there was no need to resort to force the palace with guns and knives. They could just march into the palace in a swaggering manner.
"You, you guys..." Everyone in the palace was horrified. The emperor pointed angrily at Qin Dongxu, who looked like him. He was shocked and confused, and then his face suddenly enlightened, "You are... you are me..."
Before he could finish, Qin Dongxu threw the dagger in his hand and stabbed it directly into his throat.
"Yes, I am your son." Qin Dongxu said expressionlessly, turning to the Queen and the Crown Prince, whose eyes were filled with bloodshot. "I am the legitimate heir to the throne, because the Crown Prince died suddenly with the Emperor."
"Come here, drag the Crown Prince away and lock him up with the Queen, Prime Minister Ye, the Prime Minister's wife, and Ye Baolian. Deliver food every ten days. Lock them up for three months before we talk."
"Spread the news to the public, saying that the Crown Prince took advantage of the Emperor's serious illness to force the Emperor to abdicate, and that Prime Minister Ye's family, in order to protect the Emperor, perished along with the Crown Prince and the Empress."
Ye Xiaoli widened his eyes and applauded Qin Dongxu.
If food was delivered once every ten days, it would certainly only be enough for one person to eat for one meal. Even if one person starved to death for five days, then locking them up for three months would simply lead to the five of them killing each other.
Then, Prime Minister Ye's family of three is relatively large, but Xiao Jingjian is a man, young and has martial arts skills. However, he loves Ye Baolian and certainly won't be willing to take the initiative, nor can he watch his mother starve to death...
After two months, only one person can emerge alive. Who will that person be? Ye Xiaoli is looking forward to it.
Although she also wanted to torture these people for ten years, she preferred to watch the good show of killing each other.
"Let me go! Let Baolian go! Don't touch her with your dirty hands! You, a person of unknown origin, actually want to pretend to be a prince and steal the throne of Dayong? The court officials will not recognize you, and the people of Dayong will not recognize you. You are a traitor!"
When he was dragged away, Xiao Jingjian was furious.
"Ah... go away! Little bitch, you're back, right? All this is your revenge, right?" This was Fang Yinyin who recognized Ye Xiaoli's identity and was shocked and angry.
"How outrageous! You are truly rebelling! I will kill all nine generations of your clan!" This was the queen who had always been held in the palm of Xiao Qian's hand, and was helpless and furious.
"Wait, Xiaoli, are you Xiaoli? Xiaoli, I am your daddy. I held you in my arms when you were a child. Don't you remember your daddy?" Prime Minister Ye stared at Ye Xiaoli for a long time and finally confirmed her identity.
Ye Xiaoli smiled and said, "I remember. You deceived my mother, killed her, and then tried to kill my father, the Prime Minister. I remember it and have never forgotten it."
"So, I've come back to repay you and your family. My dear sister, do you know me? Does it hurt to bleed and cut your flesh? Because of the disease you were born with, I've suffered that pain for ten years!"
Ye Xiaoli greeted Ye Baolian cheerfully, and without holding a grudge, he touched her forehead in a friendly manner when her wig fell off during her struggle, leaving her forehead bald again.
Seeing this, Xiao Dongxu, who was standing next to her, reluctantly took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped her hands, even wiping the gaps between her fingers clean.
"Xiao Li, I know I've wronged you and your mother before, but Yinyin and Baolian are innocent. Can you please show some mercy and let them go? I'll go down there alone and kowtow to your mother to apologize!"
Prime Minister Ye knelt down and kowtowed, his head banging loudly on the ground.
Fang Yinyin and Ye Baolian looked at Ye Xiaoli with hope in their eyes.
"Is that so... Since Baolian and I are sisters, of course..." Fang Yinyin and Baolian looked ecstatic. Ye Xiaoli smiled slightly, her red lips parted, "No."
"Drag them out!" Xiao Dongxu waved his hand, and everyone's mouths were gagged and they were carried away in despair.
Everyone in the hall was expelled. Qin Banban nervously closed the door for the two of them, looking at the clouds floating in the sky, not knowing where his future lay.
He didn't want to betray her, but if he took that pill, he'd have a chance to be a real man again in this life! Who wouldn't be tempted? (Eunuchs in this dynasty only had two genitals cut off. They had functions, but they were very weak. The pill could make them stronger.)
Alas, it would be better if the new emperor could release him from the palace when he ascends the throne.
The gold, silver, and jewelry he had saved up before were enough for him to find a wife and live a life of luxury for two lifetimes. Adding his son's share, wouldn't that be just right?
"Xiaoli, are you unhappy?" In the hall, Xiao Dongxu stared at Ye Xiaoli cautiously.
"Why am I unhappy?" she asked.
She actually knew what Xiao Dongxu meant, because Prime Minister Ye seemed to really like Fang Yinyin and really loved Ye Baolian, but he was so cruel to them and their daughter.
Comparing the two, most people would definitely feel upset.
"I no longer cared. During those days of being bled and cut, lying in bed to fend for myself, my expectations and longing for a father had long since faded."
She said casually.
Xiao Dongxu remained silent. In fact, he didn't dare to say that there was really no reason to love someone. He had long understood his feelings for Ye Xiaoli and knew that he was in love with Ye Xiaoli.
Just imagine, if Ye Xiaoli was suffering from a terminal illness, let alone eating one person's flesh and blood, even if he had to sacrifice all the people in the world to treat Xiaoli's illness, he would do it regardless of the consequences.
Of course, he would probably be punished by God for doing that, right?
But even if he is punished by God, he will have no regrets.
He would never tell Xiaoli these words.
Moreover, what he would not tell Xiaoli for the time being was that he actually knew that he was not the son of Emperor Xiao Qian, but the son of King Ying.
When the King of England was killed, Xiao Qian's name was used.
Later, when Xiao Qian ascended the throne, he was afraid that being exposed would bring disaster upon himself, so he sent people to kill the mother and son. However, his subordinates killed his grandfather's entire family without authorization.
Xiaoli should know this, but didn't tell him. I guess he hoped he would become the emperor.
Then he will do it.
"Xiao Li, do you want to be my queen?" Xiao Dongxu looked nervous and his heart was pounding.
Ye Xiaoli smiled and asked, "Do you want to test my loyalty? If you have the intention to betray me, you will be in excruciating pain and die a miserable death~"
"By the way, I'm the only one in the world who can cure this poison. My master is also helpless against it."
"If I try, will you be my queen?"
"Let's try it first."
"Then give it a try?"
"..."
Three months later, Xiao Dongxu, reminded by Ye Xiaoli, finally remembered to have the door of the five locked-up people opened.
"Who came out with the result?" Ye Xiaoli was very curious.
"Would you like to take a guess?"
"do not want!"
"Okay, it's Ye Baolian who comes out."
"Were you mentally normal when you came out?"
"He's emotionally stable and seems quite normal."
"Wow!" Ye Xiaoli was incredulous. "What about Xiao Jingjian?"
"He was the first to die."
"awesome."
