Banxia heard something was wrong in Shen Li's voice, so she kicked the door open and rushed in.

When she saw Shen Li stepping on Shen Shaokun, she didn't ask what was going on and just went over and sat on him, and Shen Shaokun became her mount.

Shen Zhaojiang was dumbfounded and had no idea what was going on.

Seeing Banxia dare to sit on his son and hearing his son's loud cries for help, his face turned pale and he gritted his teeth, "You bold and treacherous slave, how dare you bully your master and seek death! Come, drag this bastard down and beat him to death with sticks."

Qi Luo was standing at the door, glancing out with cold eyes. The servants who wanted to come in stopped and dared not move forward.

Shen Li sat back in the chair, her eyes like the silent abyss before a snowstorm, without a trace of warmth. "Search him. He wants to plot against me. Let's see what he has hidden."

When Banxia heard this, she didn't care what she could find out, and slapped Shen Shaokun on the head with such force that Shen Shaokun saw stars and felt dizzy and nauseous.

Shen Zhaojiang was still furious. When he heard Shen Li say this, he couldn't help but be stunned. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could he plot against you? Didn't he kneel down and beg for your forgiveness?"

Banxia's hand reached out to Shen Shaokun's collar.

Shen Shaokun got out of bed. He was only wearing his inner shirt, which was thin, so he didn't look like he was hiding anything.

Shen Li ignored Shen Zhaojiang and just stared coldly at Shen Shaokun. Seeing that he looked panicked, while protecting his legs, he moved closer to Shen Zhaojiang. Shen Zhaojiang subconsciously squatted down and wanted to help him...

Given Shen Shaokun's personality, shouldn't he have raised his hand to hit Banxia long ago? Why was he acting so strangely today? His hand was clearly uninjured, so why would he rather sit idle than hit anyone?

"Search his sleeves. There's something fishy about them."

As soon as Shen Li finished speaking, Shen Shaokun's face changed drastically. He pushed Banxia over and tried to hide behind Shen Zhaojiang.

Qiluo rushed over, grabbed his hand that was stuffing something into Shen Zhaojiang's body, and pinched it hard, causing the thing in his hand to fall to the ground with a click.

It's a paper bag.

Shen Zhaojiang's face turned pale instantly. He didn't know whether it was because he didn't expect his son to have really hidden something, or because he was worried that his son would be caught again. His heart was in his throat.

Banxia pressed Shen Shaokun to the ground and rubbed him. Qiluo picked up the paper package and smelled the scent before she even opened it. "Master, it's the Soul Devouring Gu."

Shen Shaokun looked ashen, while the others looked confused.

Banxia was impatient and knew he was not a good person as soon as she heard his name. She hurriedly asked Qiluo, "What do you mean? Does he want to poison the girl?"

Bang! She was so angry that she couldn't help but raise her hand and slap Shen Shaokun again, making his face burn with pain.

Qiluo opened the paper package. "Each dose of Soul-Eating Gu has a unique formula. Only the person who created it can create the antidote. If a person inhales it, they will instantly fall to the ground. Upon waking up, they will be as unconscious as a three-year-old child. Most importantly, if the antidote is not used after three months, the poison will never be cured again."

"Bastard!" Banxia was furious when she heard that. She jumped up and stomped on Shen Shaokun. Before Shen Zhaojiang could shout "No", there was a loud snap and Shen Shaokun's leg was broken by Banxia again.

The howling sounds broke through the sky. Not only the people in the yard, but even the birds in the trees were frightened by the screams and ran away.

It was so creepy, just like being cut with a blunt knife. I screamed in agony.

In a short period of time, Shen Zhaojiang experienced rage, forbearance, confusion, shock, and finally returned to rage, mixed with heartache.

I feel bad for my son's leg. It was this girl who broke it last time. The doctor repeatedly warned me not to break it again. If it breaks again, it will never recover. If it becomes lame, he won't be able to be an official. My son's future will be ruined...

He stared at Banxia fiercely, his eyes gleaming like knives shooting at her.

The son screamed twice and then died, fainting from the pain.

Shen Zhaojiang closed his eyes, filled with hatred.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be regretting not sending someone to kill me and mother," Shen Li said calmly, "What a pity, it's too late to regret. Look at you now, the children you and Xiao Zhao gave birth to are more insignificant than the last. Who can you blame? You two have committed too many sins, and now retribution has fallen on them."

After saying this, Shen Li didn't even bother to look at Shen Zhaojiang's expression. Instead, she pointed at the packet of poison in Qiluo's hand and said, "Feed it to Shen Shaokun."

Shen Zhaojiang suddenly pounced forward and tried to snatch the paper bag from Qiluo's hand.

Qiluo didn't show any courtesy to him at all. She raised her foot and kicked him out. Then she held the paper bag in one hand, pinched open Shen Shaokun's mouth with the other, and poured all the poison powder into his mouth.

Banxia was worried that Shen Shaokun wouldn't be able to swallow the poison powder while unconscious, so she picked up the teacup on the table beside her and, imitating Qiluo's example, pinched Shen Shaokun's mouth open and poured him a few sips of tea. "That's good, the poison powder has all gone down. You bastard, you're still determined to harm the young lady even at this time. If it were me, I would castrate him and make him a eunuch."

Shen Li stretched. She hadn't slept all night rescuing the emperor and was really tired.

She ignored Shen Zhaojiang, who was clutching his ribs in pain, and lazily raised her head and said to Qiluo, "Let's go. I need to go back and get some sleep. I might have to go back to the palace after I wake up. The emperor's condition has stabilized for the time being, but I still need to go back for another checkup."

"Remember to take Shen Shaokun to the Jiaojiao Courtyard. When he wakes up, observe him and see if he looks like a three-year-old child. Remember to search him and this room. If you find the antidote, give him half. Have someone pretend to be Shen Zhaojiang's confidant and give the remaining half to Xiao Zhaoshi. Tell her that I've been poisoned and that she has the antidote that can save me."

"Remember she said Shen Zhaojiang gave her this medicine. Shen Zhaojiang wanted her to give it to me personally to resolve the hatred and gain peace in the future. What do you think she'll choose? If I'm not mistaken, she'd rather pour the antidote out with water so I can never find it again than save me. If she really does that, then tell her it's her son's antidote, and because she's missing this half, her son will never grow up, hahahaha."

The laughter was so loud that it seemed as if the roof was shaking.

This time, Shen Zhaojiang was really frightened.

Killing people and destroying their hearts, I didn't expect Shen Li to be so ruthless and hard-hearted. Even he was no match for her. What should I do? How can I warn Xiao Zhao not to be fooled?

Shen Li stood up, ignoring the "Li'er" sound from Shen Zhaojiang behind her. As she walked out, she said to Qiluo, "Get something for Shen Zhaojiang too, so he can sleep for a day and a night, to prevent him from having someone tip off Xiao Zhaoshi. Shen Shaokun's future depends entirely on Xiao Zhaoshi's kindness. We can't let him interfere."

Qiluo turned around without hesitation. Shen Zhaojiang saw that something was wrong and shouted, "What do you want to do? I'm an official of the imperial court. Do you want to die?"

Qi Luo took out a paper bag from her belt and waved it in front of Shen Zhaojiang. The scattered powder was instantly inhaled into his nose. Shen Zhaojiang had no time to react before he was hit. His eyes were dazed, his head was still clear, but he could no longer open his eyelids.

"One, two, three, down."

Following Qiluo's voice, Shen Zhaojiang leaned over and fell asleep.

"I just broke his ribs with a kick," Qiluo said with a giggle, "Let him get some sleep to heal his ribs. See how merciful we are."
