Marrying a Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the

Queen Gao was trying to comfort Gao Yuzhe at this moment: "Son, news of the Marquis' wife's death will soon arrive. By then, the Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion will be in chaos. We can take this opportunity to escape!"

Gao Yuzhe said irritably: "Mother, that's what you said yesterday, but now everything is calm outside, she must not be dead!"

A look of displeasure flashed across Queen Gao's face, and she secretly blamed the old Princess of Jiaodong for being so slow in doing things.

However, the next second, she heard hurried footsteps outside.

A happy smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Zhe'er, look, isn't this the messenger here? That bitch must have died of poisoning!"

Gao Yuzhe subconsciously stuck his head out and saw the King of Jiaodong rushing into the house holding the old princess covered in blood.

He asked sharply, "Where's the antidote?"

Queen Gao trembled with shock. "What, what antidote?"

The Prince of Jiaodong immediately interrupted: "Don't you have an antidote for the poison you gave my mother yesterday?"

Queen Gao shook her head: "No, it's a deadly poison. How can there be an antidote?"

The King of Jiaodong was so angry that his eyes were full of ferociousness. He raised his foot and kicked Queen Gao to the ground.

Gao Yuzhe wanted to rush over immediately, but the King of Jiaodong grabbed his neck with one hand.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Queen Gao, I'll ask you again, is there an antidote?"

Queen Gao angrily said, "King of Jiaodong, please let my son go! If my son gets hurt in the slightest, you will be held responsible!"

The King of Jiaodong laughed angrily. They were just two hostages, yet they dared to be so arrogant towards him?

Not only did he not let go of Gao Yuzhe, he even continued to use force.

Even with one hand, Gao Yuzhe was pinched so hard that his face turned blue and his breathing became rapid.

He struggled to squeeze out a cry for help from his throat: "Mother, save me, save me quickly!"

Queen Gao burst into tears. She knelt and crawled to the feet of the King of Jiaodong and begged, "Please let him go. Please, let my Zhe'er go!"

The King of Jiaodong threatened: "Use the antidote in exchange for his life!"

Queen Gao sobbed, "There really is no antidote. Besides, I prepared this poison for Lin Yiwan. Why did your mother eat it?"

He gritted his teeth in hatred whenever he mentioned the King of Jiaodong. He finally understood that Lin Yiwan must have known that the bird's nest soup was highly poisonous, otherwise, she would not have forced them, mother and son, to drink it before they could leave.

It's absolutely abominable!

He said in a cold voice: "My mother never plotted against her after all. Who is the one who made this poison?"

Queen Gao spoke with a guilty conscience, "The person who prepared the poison is in Gaoyou Country, a million miles away from the capital. It's impossible for distant water to quench one's immediate thirst!"

The King of Jiaodong wanted to strangle Queen Gao to death at this moment. He couldn't help but sneer: "If that's the case, then you mother and son should take care of yourselves!"

He no longer paid any attention to the disheveled Queen Gao, and immediately carried the unconscious old princess away quickly.

Looking at his back, Queen Gao felt fear in her heart. She and Zhe'er had lost their only support in Shengjing City.

After returning to the Jiaodong Palace, the old princess gradually regained consciousness.

She said in a hoarse voice, "Son, you don't have to feel guilty. Mother is about to be buried, so how could she be afraid of death?"

The Jiaodong King's eyes were slightly red. He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of the old princess' mouth and comforted her: "She won't die. I will go to the palace to ask for instructions. Let's return to Jiaodong Island as soon as possible. Then, we can get the antidote!"

The old princess took a few hard breaths and felt that she could no longer continue on her journey.

Seeing that she was in poor condition, the King of Jiaodong immediately called the court doctor to come and take her pulse.

The court doctor said with a grim expression, "The old princess's lungs have been attacked by a deadly poison. Without an antidote, there's no way to save her!"

"Bang!" King Jiaodong raised his fist and slammed it hard on the table.

He squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Can't we hold on until we get back to Jiaodong Island?"

The court physician sighed helplessly, "She won't last more than two days. Right now, in the entire Shengjing City, the only person who can detoxify the old princess is Marquis Lin Yiwan. She's an expert in both medicine and poison, so she should be able to get her out of danger quickly!"

The King of Jiaodong was shocked all over. They, mother and son, had just returned from the residence of Marquis Zhan Yi. Should they go back and beg with a flattering face?

It was obviously him who poisoned her!

The court doctor advised: "Your Highness, you must make a decision as soon as possible. The old princess's life can no longer wait!"

Just at this moment, Nangong Yuan stumbled in from outside.

He cried out with tears streaming down his face: "Grandma, Grandma, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, wake up quickly, didn't you say you would take me to the theater?"

Perhaps Nangong Yuan's crying was particularly touching, and it actually made the old princess open her eyes again.

Even though she was in great pain at the moment, she still forced a smile in front of her most beloved grandson.

She said in a hoarse voice: "My dear Yuan'er, stop crying!"

Nangong Yuan hugged her neck tightly and asked, "Grandma, please tell me, what happened to you? I'm scared. Am I going to lose you? You won't be able to control me anymore, right?"

The old princess shook her head and denied it: "No, mother is just sick, just like Yuan'er was before, she will be well in a few days!"

Nangong Yuan didn't believe what she said. He had just heard it secretly.

He tearfully pleaded with the King of Jiaodong, "Father, I will never get into trouble again. I promise to study hard and practice martial arts diligently. I only ask you to find a way to save my grandmother, okay?"

"Okay!" King Jiaodong agreed to his request, turned around and walked out quickly.

He called his staff and asked solemnly, "If the old princess dies, will this prince be able to return to Jiaodong Island smoothly?"

The staff member replied in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the old princess must not die in the capital. Otherwise, you will follow the rules and observe mourning for her for three years in the capital. By then, Jiaodong Island will probably fall into the hands of others!"

King Jiaodong closed his eyes with difficulty. He never expected that a hasty decision would force him into a dilemma.

He said obscurely, "If I ask Madam Hou for help now, she'll take advantage of the situation and threaten me. I think she's already set her sights on Jiaodong Island!"

The staff advised: "At least you can save the old princess's life. If she really wants to leave for Jiaodong Island, it doesn't matter. After all, with all your years of management, those people have become loyal to you. No matter who the court replaces, they still can't be controlled!"

The King of Jiaodong immediately understood that this was the best solution.

The staff advised: "Your Highness, please do not hesitate any longer. Going to ask the Marquis' wife for help now can show your filial piety. Otherwise, if you delay any longer, you may lose both the island and the people!"

After hearing his words, the King of Jiaodong hurried to the residence of Marquis Zhan Yi accompanied by his staff.

At this time, Lin Yiwan was drinking tea with Zhan Yan. It was a rare opportunity for the two of them to have such free time.

Lin Yiwan was the first to ask, "Has the recipient for Yintan been confirmed? That's where Youyi is going, and she has to be satisfied before we can send anyone out!"

Zhan Yan murmured, "What do you think of Mo Lingyue?"
