Chapter 401 Uncle
Just as she was subconsciously observing the king, she heard the word 'uncle'.

It turned out that the ruler of the Nangong Empire was actually King Jing's uncle.

"This is the niece and daughter-in-law."

The king's address for Wang Yuetong is very close, it is not difficult to see that he is a gentle person.

"Meet uncle."

After Wang Yuetong got up, he bowed his head and blessed his body again.

"There's no need to be so polite. The two of you have come here all the way, have you suffered a lot along the way?"

"Uncle's words are serious. It is my duty to solve my uncle's urgent needs."

Seeing that King Jing has become an extremely mature and stable man, the king is very pleased in his heart.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the king quickly showed signs of fatigue.

Seeing this, Wang Yuetong asked him to stretch out his hand and felt his pulse.

"The poison the lord suffered from is a strange poison called 'hook kiss'. Although this poison is rare, it is not incurable."

Therefore, to diagnose the poison in his body, there are at least a few imperial physicians in the palace who can do it.

Unfortunately, no one could see that he was poisoned, which meant that there were many people sent by Yuwen Changyi by the lord's side.

"Oh? So that's how it is... It seems that the plain medical fairy fruit really lives up to its reputation."

"The lord praised it. This poison is slow to develop, so it will take some time to cure it. Therefore, during this period of time, the lord needs to cooperate."

Wang Yuetong took the pen and paper from the attendant, and wrote down a prescription.

"The lord's illness cannot be delayed, and we must go get the medicine right now."

Wang Yuetong winked at the attendant at the side, and the attendant immediately went down to get the medicine.

When there was no one else in the room, the king sighed softly and said, "If you have anything to say, you can say it now."

Hearing this, Wang Yuetong was slightly surprised.

It seems that he knows that there are dangers around him.

"Yuwen Changyi colluded with the governor, intending to use the two of us to harm the king, so..."

"So, I need to pretend I'm sick."

The king's eyes were slightly playful, mixed with some resignation, and desperate determination.

"Yes."

Having said that, Wang Yuetong knew that he didn't need to say any more, he was a smart enough person.

When the attendant came back after taking the medicine according to the prescription, Wang Yuetong and King Jing had already left.

The lord of the country had already arranged the place where they would live, and it was in another bedroom of the Purple and Yang Palaces.

On the day the two entered the palace, they received a long letter from the Sheriff.

It roughly says that Da Sima has trusted them.

Moreover, they must make the lord's condition worse in the near future, and three days later, he will personally lead troops into the palace to force the lord to abdicate.

After reading this letter, Wang Yuetong frowned, she felt that things were not that simple.

After King Jing saw it, he immediately said: "It seems that our plan has to be slightly revised."

Three days later, the king could no longer continue his morning court, but continued to be ill in bed.

The entire palace was in a heavy atmosphere, but there were not many people guarding the king's bed.

On that day, after taking Wang Yuetong's medicine, the king even coughed up blood once, which made everyone in the palace doubt Wang Yuetong's medical skills.

But at this time, the king who had always trusted Wang Yuetong suddenly became furious and imprisoned the two of them in the bedroom.

However, Yuwen Changyi, who had agreed to be in the palace today, did not show up for a long time.

Of course, these are just rumors in the palace.

In fact, the state lord's condition is getting better day by day, but, while taking the medicine, Wang Yuetong also mixed some Suzaku into the medicine, which made his complexion look very bad.

The coughing up of blood was also due to the blood vine.

The two who were under house arrest were also drinking tea and talking in the bedroom at this time.

"It seems that Yuwen Changyi will not send troops today."

Wang Yuetong took a sip of the tea in the cup, the tea from Nangong Empire is very different from Shanxue Country, and the taste has a special charm.

"Yu Wenchang Yi didn't intend to send troops. He couldn't trust two people who had never met face to face. The letter wasn't even written by him himself, but was written by the magistrate."

From this, it is enough to see that Yuwen Changyi does not trust anyone.

"He used this method to test us. If the lord of the country really killed both of us in a fit of anger, would he take this opportunity to send troops?"

"Whether something happened to us or not, he wouldn't put himself in a dangerous situation."

King Jing put down the teacup in his hand, tapping the table with his fingertips from time to time.

"I'm thinking now, when will he choose to send troops, and how far will the matter develop, so that he can be relieved?"

King Jing frowned, caressing the sachet Wang Yuetong gave him in his hand.

"I have a method, I don't know if it will work or not."

Wang Yuetong stroked the broken hair beside her ears, and said thoughtfully.

Late at night, Da Sima Mansion.

The dim light made his figure slender.

He stood quietly in front of the case with two tokens on it.

"Da Sima, believe me it was delivered three days ago, but who would have thought that it would end like this..."

The county sheriff leaned over and stood in front of him, looking a little timid.

Yuwen Changyi raised his head, his thick eyebrows were full of heroism, and his disparate eyes seemed to blend into the night.

The lights in the room were very dim, just because he didn't like to stay in too bright places, which would make people feel a sense of crisis at a loss.

"Liu Junshou, are you sure the person is dead?"

After a while, he picked up one of the tokens and slowly opened his lips.

"I'm sure. I found out this from the lord's personal attendant. He said that he saw it with his own eyes. The lord gave them poisonous wine, and he also watched the two drink it with his own eyes."

"So, are they really dead ghosts?"

There was some regret in Yuwen Changyi's tone, but there was a smile on his face.

It seemed a little gloating, or maybe, this was his way of expressing regret.

"Well, at least, this also proves their innocence. This shows that they are not the confidants of the king."

Originally, he had always suspected that the identities of these two people must not be that simple, but now it seems that he worried too much.

"So, what should we do next?"

"What do you mean."

Yuwen Changyi put down King Jing's customs clearance token, and picked up the bugle token beside it.

"The meaning of the lower official is that the king is very ill now, and he just coughed up blood twice today, and that ineffective prince has no troops at all, so he can't compete with you, Da Sima!"

"So, now is an excellent time for us to do something. Does Da Sima have plans?"
