Yunmeng Ballad: I opened a restaurant in the Warring States Period

Chapter 113 Yaoqin Testifies
"The person who harmed the princess is still alive and well, how could I die so easily?" came a female voice with a soft voice but an unusually firm tone.

The King of Chu followed the voice, and saw a woman in her early twenties wearing the costume of a maidservant saluted herself slowly, and then said, "Your Majesty, my maidservant Yaoqin can prove everything that night."

"The night Princess Shu came to Xingyun Palace to meet my princess, I hid in the apse. I could see and hear everything that happened that night clearly..."

As she spoke, she took out a wooden box: "That night, Princess Shu put this poison into the oil lamp and burned it, killing my princess. I wanted to call for help, but I was also poisoned by some of the poison and couldn't move. Then, a group of people with strong martial arts suddenly appeared in the palace and took the princess away..."

After finishing speaking, he burst into tears: "If I could be more vigilant and discover Princess Shu's little actions earlier, the princess might not die... It's because I didn't protect her well..."

The king of Chu signaled the doctor to take the wooden box and verify the ingredients.

The doctor opened the wooden box, took out a powder that was not as big as a soybean, and studied it.

After a while, the doctor came over and reported: "My lord, this medicine contains hallucinogenic ingredients, which will make people fall into hallucinations, infinitely magnify the hidden pain in people's hearts, and then...then make people die of heartache and suffocation..."

After finishing speaking, the doctor wiped the cold sweat from his head: I have never seen such a vicious medicine, it can make people happy, and it can make people die in pain, it is more painful than cutting flesh with a knife.

"That's right...the princess was really in pain at the time, and she was a little out of breath at the end..." Yaoqin continued: "I was also unable to move because of similar symptoms... If it wasn't because I was in the apse and the amount of inhalation was small, maybe The cause of the princess' death will be completely covered up..."

Hearing what Yaoqin and the doctor said, Gongzi Yuan's eyes almost burst into flames.

Yaoqin has only recently regained her sanity.In order not to irritate her, he didn't ask about the details of that day.Just after confirming that the other party is sane, he told her about today's plan and brought her to testify together.

He didn't expect that Meng'er died in pain, in the most uncomfortable way.

"Xiong Shu, Xiong He, I didn't expect you to be so vicious! You wouldn't even let her go... What kind of enmity does she have with you to harm her like this?!" He roared angrily.

"Father, Xiong and he conspired with Qin State to kill me. I don't need to pursue it. But he killed Meng'er in such a cruel way, and even conspired to harm Chu State. Do you really want to let it go? If this continues, there will be no peace for the entire Chu Palace, and more sons and princesses will be murdered from today!"

The King of Chu's complexion became ugly, he pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Take Xiong He and Xiong Shu into death row, and after ten days, Ming Zheng will punish you..."

Followed by the cries of Xiong Shu and Xiong He.But no matter how heart-piercing and thrilling they were, the King of Chu didn't even look at them again. Instead, his eyes were gloomy, and he walked heavily outside.

His country of Chu has been messed up just because of such two stupid children.

King Chu suddenly felt tired and wanted to talk to someone, but he couldn't find anyone.If it is forced to be counted, Da Wu counts as one, but he has been traveling all year round, where can he be found?

For the stability of Chu State, when he was young, he was hostage in Qin State and Qi State one after another.After finally succeeding to the throne, what he took over was a precarious mess, and he was at odds with the powerful Qin State.

He could never forget the fear of almost dying in another country when he was hostage in Qin State.

It is also because of this that he always hated his wife from the state of Qin who he had to marry when he was a son.There is no liking for her children at all.

It is also for this reason that what he has been thinking about all along is how to strengthen Chu and resist Qin.

But the glory of King Zhuang's period has passed away, and there has never been a talented military strategist and very capable minister in Chu State, so his ambition has become a castle in the air.

Until he met Ciyun, until Menger was born, he seemed to see the hope of Chu's rejuvenation and strength, and saw the opportunity to humiliate himself and his father, so these years, he tried his best to protect only him. And the secret that the big witch knows, protects his daughter on the tip of his heart.

But who would have thought that the hope that he had been obsessed with and protected for so many years would be ruined by his two stupid and vicious children.

He had never felt so defeated before.

More importantly, what should I do now that the protons of the Qi State are being pledged?
Five years ago, for the sake of profit, Chu State and other five countries attacked Qi State together and obtained some meager benefits.

But now the feng shui took turns, and Qi was restored, but Chu was attacked more and more violently by its neighbor Qin, and lost Shangdang and other places half a year ago.

In order to prevent the east and west of the Chu State from being attacked at the same time, he had to form an alliance with the Qi State, which had moved its capital back to Linzi after Fuguo.

Originally, I thought that Zihe was a kind, filial and pure person a while ago, if he could go to another country to experience it well, he might be able to do something in the future.

But now, how dare he let such a stupid and vicious person out so easily?Should he make more enemies for Chu State, or let him continue to betray the country?

King Chu shook his head, then pressed his temple again, and sighed.

"Why is father worried?" A gentle voice came, and he looked towards the voice, only to realize that Ziyuan had followed him out at some point, his eyes full of worry.

This child... The King of Chu sighed again in his heart. In the past, because he was the son of Lady Qin, he hadn't paid more attention to him. It wasn't until he found out that Meng'er had a good relationship with him that he gradually paid more attention.

He is a good boy, he is always kind to his sister who is not a compatriot of the same mother; he is not confused in the face of big right and wrong, he can be ruthless enough to kill relatives righteously, he is a seedling who can accomplish great things.

But is there really no problem with Qin Nu's blood flowing in his body?Can his heart really be directed towards Chu State all the time, and will he be like Shu'er, and one day people will discover the most terrifying side?
Thinking of this, his heart moved: "Ziyuan, Meng'er's matter, thank you for your hard work... It would be great if nothing happened to her..."

"My sister is in the sky, so she will definitely not be able to bear the sadness of my father..." Gongzi Yuan comforted me: "We can only let my sister go with more peace of mind if we find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible..."

"Oh? Why didn't you believe that Meng'er was done by Zihe and Shu'er alone..." King Chu asked tentatively.

"I know them well, they don't have such meticulous thoughts..." Gong Ziyuan replied: "If it's just them, the people with high martial arts skills Yaoqin met can't explain it..."

"In your opinion, it was made by people from Qin?"

"Although there is no complete evidence, according to the current clues, there are nine out of ten." Young Master Yuan replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Why so sure?"

Faced with the King of Chu's barrage of questions, Gongzi Yuan hesitated for a while, but in the end he did not choose to tell the whole story, and only answered two words: "Intuition."

"If you are really from Qin, what will you do?" King Chu finally asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Of course it's a blood debt." Gongzi Yuan said almost gnashing his teeth.

"People from the state of Qin, but people from your mother's clan..." King Chu squinted his eyes and said meaningfully.

Young Master Yuan hurriedly got down and saluted: "My son only knows that I was born and raised in Chu State. Anyone who violates our territory of Chu State, harms our people of Chu State, or hurts my dearest relatives is my enemy."
