Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Li Lan frowned at this moment.

Even the wisest person can make a mistake; he truly hadn't expected the Third Prince to be able to poison everyone present...

After all, according to Zhao Tanyue, the Nine Medicines Breaking Yuan Powder was accidentally created by the emperor when he was refining pills. Although it was colorless, odorless, and extremely powerful, its production was very limited.

Because the amount of this poison was limited, they administered a smaller dose to the assassins, which slowed down the onset of the poison.

But where did the Third Prince get so many?!

As he frowned in thought, all the martial artists in the arena collapsed to the ground, unable to get up!

The vast Seeking the Dao Mountain was beyond the reach of countless experts, guards, and even warriors from the Secret Service!

"what happened!"

"Someone poisoned it! Someone poisoned it!"

"We're all poisoned!"

Both the scholars and martial artists present spoke up, filled with dread.

Lin Zheng remained calm. He immediately sat down and tried to expel the toxin by circulating his inner energy. However, the Nine-Medicine Yuan-Breaking Powder was extremely potent, as it was a toxin refined from various spiritual objects such as the Azure Cloud Fruit and the White Bone Flower. Despite his repeated attempts, he could not muster even a trace of inner energy!

"I never expected such a ruthless backup plan... Nine Medicines Breaking Yuan Powder!"

Lin Zheng opened his eyes, sighed deeply, and said, "We are finished!"

He had also heard of the great reputation of the Nine Medicines Breaking Yuan Powder. Once this medicine entered the body, even a top-tier expert would be helpless against it, and the effects would naturally disappear after three hours.

He looked toward the Third Prince, who was completely at ease and looked extremely relaxed!

He had realized that the Third Prince's grand celebration was not only aimed at the Lin family, but also at... usurping the throne!

……

The arena was filled with wails of agony; all the martial artists had lost their fighting ability!

Meanwhile, on the altar, a group of assassins had already approached Emperor Xianxian.

At this moment, this powerful ruler, who had neglected state affairs for over a decade yet still commanded the utmost respect from all officials, had become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Is there any other way?

Lin Zheng sighed and asked Li Lan a question.

He subconsciously regarded Li Lan as his last hope.

Li Lan hesitated slightly, but then she thought of the cloth and silk wrapped around the trees on the Mountain of Seeking the Dao, of the jade road leading up the mountain that had cost so much of the people's hard-earned money to build, of the countless refugees in the capital, and of the exorbitant taxes levied by the court over the past half month...

He suddenly felt that it was good that Emperor Xianxian was dead.

So he gently shook his head.

What to do will have to wait until Emperor Xianxian dies.

He watched the group of assassins approach Emperor Xianxian on the stage.

"Li Dao, do you still recognize me?"

The leader, his face covered in scars, spoke in a ferocious voice, "Thirty years ago, I won first place in the martial arts examination. Just because I said that immortals might not exist, you stripped me of my honor and tried to kill me. I escaped by chance, and this is what I'm doing today!"

As soon as he spoke, the expressions of all the civil and military officials in the court changed, and they recognized his identity.

"Luo Wenwu!"

"I never expected it to be this person..."

But Emperor Xianxian smiled bitterly and said nothing.

When the grand ceremony of Qingtian failed and the yellow light in the stone tablet dissipated, his decades-long dream of becoming an immortal shattered into pieces. He knew that he might never be able to touch the path of immortality again in this life, and that immortality would ultimately be in vain... Therefore, it would not be an exaggeration to say that his heart was dead at this moment.

Instead, he disregarded the immense danger before him, and instead looked at Empress Xianyi from afar, sighing, "Empress, I was wrong. You are right. That rebellious son... couldn't even wait a few more days."

Before the grand ceremony to celebrate the emperor's death, the empress had warned him that there might be a treacherous hand behind the scenes, but Emperor Xianxian believed that since he was about to abdicate anyway, neither of his two sons would act at this time...
