the first lady

Chapter 50

Holding the small jade bottle in her hand, Qiao Linger's thoughts also flew away, hoping that he could quickly go down——

Emperor Wu really targeted Zongzheng Yi, was he warning or what? ? ?But that idiot Zong Zhengyi, he actually let Emperor Wu succeed, that glass of wine should have belonged to her!
"Prime Minister, your complexion doesn't look very good, is something wrong?" Zong Zhengyi was stopped by Helian Feiyan just after he went down to court.

Zongzheng Yi smiled slightly: "I may have caught a cold while reading the official document last night, it's not a serious problem, thank you Prince for your concern."

"Prime Minister is the pillar of our Nanwu Kingdom, body is the first, so don't work too hard." Looking at Zong Zhengyi's face, He Lian Feiyan couldn't help but think of another face, "Don't let the Prime Minister's wife worry too much. "

Hearing this, Zongzheng Yi's eyes flashed a icy coldness, which no one noticed.

With a slight smile, he said, "Thank you, Prince, for reminding me, I won't worry Linger." She was already very worried...

The corner of Helian Feiyan's mouth curled up into a sarcastic smile, maybe it was more jealousy in his heart.

Yes, it's jealousy!

Just like seeing Qiao Linger's concern for Zong Zhengyi yesterday, the indifference towards her was in stark contrast to the concern for Zong Zhengyi.Unprecedented jealousy filled his chest, making him wish to put aside the relationship between the two of them for more than ten years.

In fact, what Helian Feiyan didn't know was that when he often thought of Qiao Ling'er, he had already abandoned the relationship with Zong Zhengyi for more than ten years.

"My lord, it's time to go back." Yue Ying walked to Zong Zhengyi's side and said.

"En!" Zong Zhengyi nodded.

"The prime minister is in a hurry to return home?" Helian Feiyan interrupted.

Zongzheng Yi smiled irrefutably, and said, "There are some things in the government that need to be dealt with."

"Are you in a hurry to go back to accompany Meijiao Niang?" Helian Feiyan said eccentrically, the smile in his eyes was deep and cold.

Sullenness flashed across Yue Ying's face, before he thought the prince could see through, but now, he had the urge to split him apart.

Zongzheng Yi smiled lightly: "Prince, this humble minister will retire."

"Hehe, let's go, don't keep Madam waiting." He Lian Feiyan put one hand behind his back, and waved the other casually, quite like a king.

And Zong Zhengyi didn't deny that, maybe...he already knew a little bit about the prince's thoughts.

It was the first time that Yueying saw the coldness in his master's eyes, and this coldness was even a bit colder than when he was asked to hand Yuemei to Qingye for disposal.Is it because of my wife?

Qiao Linger has been waiting at the Qiao Mansion, the reason why Zong Zhengyi must go to the Qiao Mansion is actually to let Qiao Yishu take a look.It's not that she can't trust Lan Feng's medical skills, but that she trusts Qiao Yishu more.

How could Zongzheng Yi not know her thoughts?
Thinking of Qiao Ling'er, Zong Zhengyi's mouth curved into a gentle smile again.Today's court was deliberately delayed, but in fact he didn't want to stay any longer in the past.He wants to go back quickly, wants to see her...

It took almost an hour and a half from the top to the bottom, and today's court meeting took a lot longer than before.Perhaps this was Emperor Wu's punishment, he knew that the poison's medicinal properties would cause body pain within twelve hours.Yesterday he took the antidote almost immediately after the attack, suppressing the spreading pain, but at least it was not an antidote, and the medicine would be repulsive, so standing in the hall, he was in pain.

Emperor Wu seemed to be very satisfied with his "masterpiece", and never announced that he would go to court. He saw Zong Zhengyi's pale face in full view, and took pleasure in hurting others.

Zong Zhengyi couldn't help but find it funny, isn't Emperor Wu just reminding him that there is another Qiao family who has become his handle?Wanting him to formally declare war with the queen is a very good plan, but does he seem to be such a submissive person?
If Qiao Ling'er knew what Emperor Wu was thinking about him, he might curse Emperor Wu as a pervert!

"Why are you here now?" Qiao Linger asked anxiously when the carriage had just arrived at Qiao's mansion.

Hearing Qiao Ling'er's voice, Zong Zhengyi put aside what was in his mind, and before he could speak, Yueying had already opened his mouth: "Ma'am, there was an hour in the morning court today, and the crown prince also stopped the young master after he came down to court. .”

Yueying's words made Zongzhengyi and Qiao Linger turn their eyes to him at the same time. It was just a very plain sentence, but in the eyes of those who understood, they could hear the surrender inside.

Embarrassed by Qiao Linger and Zong Zhengyi, Yueying turned her eyes away.

"Ma'am, let the Second Young Master show it to my aunt first!" Lan Feng couldn't help saying.

One sentence immediately made Qiao Ling'er look back, and nodded seriously, especially when Zong Zhengyi's face was still pale, his heart was raised again.

In the room, no one else was alarmed, Qiao Yishu felt Zong Zhengyi's pulse, of course it was Qiao Linger's request.

"Brother-in-law..." Qiao Yishu suddenly called out while feeling his pulse, with a serious look on his face.

Zong Zhengyi gave him a wink calmly, but he still didn't escape Qiao Linger's eyes.

"Second brother, what's wrong with him?" Qiao Ling'er looked at Qiao Yishu.

"Linger..."

"Second brother, can the poison be cured?" Zong Zhengyi relayed Qiao Yishu's words.

"Zongzheng Yi!" Qiao Linger glared at Zongzheng Yi.

"Brother-in-law, I have to tell Linger, because you are her husband-in-law!" Qiao Yishu let go of his pulse.

Hearing Qiao Yishu's words, Qiao Ling'er suddenly became very nervous, "Is it possible that the poison cannot be cured?"

"No, Ling'er, the poison can be cured." Qiao Yishu patted her on the shoulder reassuringly.

"Then what's the problem? Second brother, tell me quickly..." Qiao Linger urged anxiously.

Qiao Yishu glanced at Zongzheng Yi, and after a silence, Zongzheng Yi said, "Linger, the second brother wants to tell you why I can't drink alcohol."

Qiao Ling'er turned to Zong Zhengyi and asked, "That's it?" He had told her before that he couldn't drink alcohol, hadn't he?
"Ling'er, not being able to drink alcohol is not a small matter." Qiao Yishu saw that she didn't seem to understand, so he said seriously.

Hearing this, Qiao Ling'er didn't dare to be sloppy anymore, and sat down quietly, listening to Qiao Yishu's explanation to herself.

Qiao Yishu first took out a small red pill and handed it to Zong Zhengyi. "Brother-in-law, take this antidote first." Lan Feng also brought a glass of water from behind.

Zongzheng Yi took it and swallowed it. "Thank you, brother."

"It's all from my own family, so you're welcome." Qiao Yishu smiled lightly, and turned to Qiao Linger again: "Linger, my brother-in-law's poisoning probably happened 15 years ago."

"15 years ago?" Qiao Ling'er couldn't help raising her voice, and looked at Zong Zhengyi in horror.

Zongzheng Yi smiled lightly: "18 years ago," Sui continued seeing the unbelievable look of others: "The poison in my body was poisoned 18 years ago."

Except for Yueying and Qingye, everyone else's eyes widened in horror.He is 22 now, 18 years ago... so he was only four years old?

"This kind of poison can be latent in the human body from birth to death. If the weight is not increased in the middle, it will not hurt people's lives, but it is extremely sensitive to alcohol..." Qiao Yishu stated.

liqueur--

The poison was given by Emperor Wu!A flash of inspiration flashed in Qiao Linger's mind, and she immediately came to a conclusion.

Zong Zhengyi shook his head at her affirming eyes, motioning her not to speak out.

Qiao Yishu didn't know the silent communication between the two of them, and continued after a pause: "If you take this poison, if you don't suppress it with medicine in time after drinking, you will be in great pain."

"Second brother, does it mean that the stronger the wine, the more painful it is?" Qiao Linger asked.

"That's right." Qiao Yishu nodded, glanced at the purple wine glass again, and his eyes sank, "The supreme wine, century-old sake...brother-in-law, if you don't carry the hangover medicine with you, you know what the consequences will be ?”

"Zongzhengyi..." Qiao Ling'er's throat couldn't help but feel a little dry, and her face became paler.If she hadn't fed him that pill in that way, would he have...

Seeing Qiao Ling'er's appearance, Zong Zhengyi felt a little sour and felt distressed. He smiled and said, "Ling'er, you helped me, didn't you?"

"It was you who drank that glass of wine for me!" Qiao Ling'er took his words, it was a glass of poisoned wine, wasn't it?
The two of them watched quietly like this, while Qiao Yishu and Qiao Yilin just looked at each other, and then they all backed out.

Zongzheng Yi looked at Qiao Linger's face, and the pain in his body gradually disappeared after taking the antidote.

Standing up, she touched her face lightly, "I'm sorry for making you worry..."

"Zongzhengyi..." Qiao Ling'er called his name, and suddenly felt the urge to cry, but in the end she was just gently pulled into his arms.

The warm and familiar smell wrapped around Qiao Linger, giving her a sense of reality, but she couldn't grasp it.Perhaps it was the erratic fairy feeling on his body that made it impossible for people to keep up with his pace, but it still attracted her...

Emperor Wu poisoned her, but Zong Zhengyi drank the poisoned wine. Needless to say, Zong Zhengyi naturally knew that the wine was poisonous.However, in order to save her from suffering, he drank that glass of wine instead of her, otherwise she would be the one who is in pain today.

Emperor Wu is warning, although she is not very clear about the reason!
"Why did you get poisoned at such a young age?" Qiao Ling'er opened the distance between the two of them, it was really hard to understand why Emperor Wu poisoned him at such a young age!

Zongzheng Yi's gentle eyes fell on her face: "Have you forgotten who my father is?"

"Prime Minister." Qiao Linger frowned, "So what if he is the Prime Minister?"

"What if I told your father that when he was the prime minister, he supported the sixth prince instead of the second prince and the current emperor?" Zong Zhengyi said softly.

Having said that, Qiao Ling'er immediately understood what he meant, "Emperor Wu is using you as a threat to get Dad to support him in ascension to the throne!"

Zong Zhengyi smiled slightly, "After the emperor ascended the throne, I was sent to Master Fangzheng. It was Master Fangzheng who cured me of another poison, but the poison of avoiding alcohol cannot be cured, unless it is the poison. people."
