Two days later.

Royal study.

"Cough cough cough..."

It was late at night, and Li Yingyu was still reviewing the memorial, and from time to time he would put his fist to his mouth and cough.

Father-in-law Zheng Yan, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and advised: "Your Majesty, it's the middle of the night, so you'd better rest early. If this continues, your body won't be able to hold on."

"Every state and capital is not at peace, and I am very worried. Moreover, this poison is corroding my internal organs, and it is really difficult for me to sleep."

Li Yingyu looked frail, throwing his pen angrily, but without much strength. He looked like an octogenarian, with white hair visible on his temples, an old spirit, and a handsome face full of vicissitudes and worries.

"That bunch of losers from the Tai Hospital were a step behind when it came to poisoning last time. Now, it's been so long and they can't even come up with an antidote!"

Zheng Yan was frightened and groveled even more: "Your Majesty, calm down. The more uncomfortable your Majesty is physically and mentally, the faster this poison will spread. I hope your Majesty can relax."

Li Yingyu glanced at him sadly and waved her hand in disgust: "Okay, I understand, Zheng Yan, don't be nagging, let them all go down, there is no need to guard me."

"Yes, you two, get down."

Zheng Yan glanced at him, and the two young eunuchs responded and bowed out.

"Cough cough."

Li Yingyu coughed again.

Zheng Yan was very worried: "Your Majesty, you."

"No problem."

Li Yingyu raised her head weakly and handed the written letter to Zheng Yan: "Give this letter to Lu Lin and have it secretly sent to Liecheng. Be sure to hand it to Wu Tian, ​​General Wu."

"According to the order."

Zheng Yan respectfully stepped forward to receive the secret letter, and then listened to Li Yingyu's instructions: "Ask him to bring a message for me."

"Your Majesty, please tell me."

Li Yingyu twirled the jade ring on his thumb with a solemn and cold expression: "Tell Wu Tian that once someone in the army is caught rebelling against the party, they will be killed without mercy, regardless of their identity."

Zheng Yan trembled, as if he understood something, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zheng Yan was about to walk out of the royal study with the secret letter when he was suddenly knocked unconscious and fell to the ground. Li Yingyu looked over with disbelief and shock written on his face. He tried to stand up but was weak. He coughed suddenly in excitement. got up.

"Cough, cough. Someone's coming, cough. There's an assassin, someone's coming!"

Unfortunately, there was no movement outside. Xiao Yu glanced at him, her eyes full of contempt and disdain. She knelt down to pick up the dropped secret letter. The envelope read "Personally addressed by General Wu". She sneered coldly. , strolled towards Li Yingyu.

Li Yingyu retreated in panic, her face turned pale: "Dong Wanwan, you, you are not dead?!"

"I disappoint you, but I'm still alive and well."

"how do you"

Xiao Yu held up the secret letter, her eyes bright but cold: "Last year, the rebels were in trouble at the border. You secretly ordered the city gates to be closed, abandoning the soldiers who were loyal to the court. Later, you killed the king to seize the throne, and curry favor with Concubine Sun. Let General Chu still be used by you. His wife is pregnant, but you transferred him out of the capital to attack Liecheng, which is extremely difficult to conquer. Now you want to charge him with rebelling against the party and kill him in Liecheng. city!"

Li Yingyu was horrified: "Have you been hiding in the imperial study room?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically: "Yes, by coincidence, I happened to see you writing this secret letter. Hum, you haven't changed at all. You will not be merciful in any self-interested matter."

Li Yingyu wanted to stand up, but her legs were weak, and she started coughing violently while struggling.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Yu just felt refreshed: "I didn't expect that you would end up like this. Stop struggling. This poison has corroded your internal organs and will eventually cause you to bleed from all your orifices, and your lungs will dry up and rot to death."

"Ah!"

Li Yingyu frowned: "Are you here to see my joke?"

Xiao Yu stood opposite him, looking down at the new king with sarcasm in his words: "I'm here to see your retribution!"

"Retribution?" Li Yingyu leaned against the calligraphy and painting at the back and suddenly raised his eyes, with a meaningful smile on his lips: "When talking about the border affairs, I remembered one thing. General Ma Jishan hanged himself for no reason, leaving only one person behind. Zhang Chen's crime statement."

Xiao Yu's eyes turned cold when he heard the name Ma Jishan.

Seeing her expression, Li Yingyu raised his eyebrows and said: "I heard that there was a person who insisted on leaving the city, and for this he did not hesitate to fight with the border officers. This person disappeared after going to Xishuiling. What's even more strange is that the advance team There is not much left, but the rebels facing Wu Yangyang are able to support our army, and after repeated questioning, no one knows where that person is."

Xiao Yu was speechless.

Li Yingyu looked at her confidently, with some complicated emotions.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable. It really impresses me, Wanwan."

"To shut up!"

Xiao Yu became angry instantly and spoke coldly: "You don't deserve to call me by my name."

Li Yingyu coughed again, his eyes always staring at Xiao Yu, and his voice became hoarse: "You hate me, you poisoned me to kill me, as you wish, I am miserable and tortured every day. , he will die soon, cough cough"

He stretched out his hand tremblingly and said to her: "This jade pendant is your personal property."

Xiao Yu glanced at it and saw that it was the jade pendant that fell when she fell off the cliff. She didn't want to take it back anymore, so she waved it away as if it were the delicately carved jade pendant. It fell to the ground and fell into pieces in an instant.

Just like their relationship.

She was lucky that she came across the secret letter by chance when she entered the palace tonight. Once she saw it, she couldn't ignore it.

So, she drew her sword, stuck it on the case without hesitation, and ordered Li Yingyu: "Now, immediately, write a letter asking General Chu to return to the capital immediately, otherwise, I will kill you!"

Li Yingyu's expression froze, and his Adam's apple slid up and down.

She just looked at herself like that, her eyes were so unfamiliar that the man in front of her had no resemblance to the previous one except for his skin.

"Write!"

With a wave of Xiao Yu's palm, the memorials on the case were scattered everywhere, but the paper, inkstone, pen and ink were neatly placed in front of Li Yingyu. Li Yingyu raised his eyes and glanced at her, showing his dejection. He coughed and wrote with a trembling pen in his hand.

Xiao Yu calmed down her momentum, opened the envelope and took out the letter, about to tear it into pieces. Suddenly her eyes moved slightly, so she unfolded the letter. After scanning it up and down, her dark eyes were frosted, and she stared at Li Yingyu with sharp thorns all over her body. .

Li Yingyu also sat upright and looked at her, the weakness and decline just now completely disappeared, replaced by the strategizing emperor's smile.

Counted!
"You actually lied to me?"

She drew her sword angrily at Li Yingyu, and Li Yingyu took out the letter from his sleeve unhurriedly. This was the real secret letter.

And what she had in her hand was just an ordinary poem.

Steal the beam and switch the post.

That is
He had known for a long time that she was hiding in the royal study, so he put on a show to lure her out.

Ha, what a despicable trick.

Li Yingyu turned his finger and shook his head jokingly: "Those who achieve great things are most afraid of having weaknesses. You are so excited for a mere Chu Zhijiang. It's a pity, it's a pity."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

He knew that it would be difficult to escape now, and there must be ambushes all around. Li Yingyu was a dying man, and his body was weak. Taking him hostage was the best way.

Li Yingyu's figure flashed and he escaped from her sword easily. Suddenly, the Imperial Guards suddenly rushed in. Their swords touched their scabbards, cold and solemn. Ning Xijin walked in quickly and saluted with his sword: "Your Majesty, are you okay? Bar?"

"nothing."

Li Yingyu took a steady step forward and stared at Xiao Yu arrogantly. Xiao Yu's face was extremely ugly.

It turned out that he was just faking it, the poison had been cured long ago, and his frail demeanor just now was all deliberately done to show her.

But how could Zhao Wuling lie to her?
