Chapter 1232: Poisoned
"Principal Zhang said that I was poisoned? And it was the same poison as Noble Consort Zhou?" Hearing the report from the secret guard, Yuwen Longyan's face was serious and dignified." What about Noble Consort Zhou's poisoning? Investigate it for me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhou family
In Zhou Dehong's study, Zhou Dehong was sitting in his armchair. He closed his eyes and hummed a tune. He looked very satisfied!
At this moment, his secret guard came over to report that the matter of him getting Qin 'er to drug Noble Consort Zhou had been exposed.
The moment Zhou Dehong heard the report, he was slightly surprised.
He didn't expect his sister to be so smart and notice the abnormality so quickly!
But so what?
He had heard that there was no cure for something like Divine Illusion. Once it acted up, the subject would be at the mercy of others!
When he thought about how his daughter would ascend to the throne and give birth to the crown prince, he would be able to use the emperor to command the powerful regent.
When he thought about how he would be in charge of the world's power in the future and how everyone in the world, including the Emperor, would kneel at his feet, his eyes immediately burst with intense ambition and desire. He wished that he could succeed in his rebellion now and then force Yuwen Feiye to marry Zhou Wenya so that he could give birth to the Crown Prince as soon as possible. He would also realize his dream as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, he went to Zhou Zhenlin's room.
The current Zhou Zhenlin was no longer as spirited and sharp as he was a few days ago.
The person was lying on the bed, half-dead. He was grinning and drooling. His numb expression and dull eyes burst out with intense hatred and resentment when he saw Zhou Zhenlin enter.
"You... You... Damn... Son!" Zhou Zhenlin, who was half-paralyzed, spat out a few unclear words intermittently.
Zhou Zhenlin had been domineering for his entire life. He did not expect that when he was about to step into his coffin, he would actually be set up by his eldest son, who he despised the most.
Zhou Dehong looked at Zhou Zhenlin, who was lying on the bed, unable to move. It was as if the anger that he had suppressed for more than 40 years was suddenly released.
He completely ignored the hatred and resentment in Zhou Zhenlin's eyes and sneered. "Hehe, Father, my good father. You never thought that one day, you would fall to me, your most useless eldest son!
"Ever since we were young, you've never treated me as your son. If it weren't for mother risking her life to protect my sister and me, and using her relationship with the Empress Dowager to send my sister to the palace as a concubine, perhaps I would have been killed by your favorite concubines!
"Because my younger sister is very favored by the Emperor, you have no choice but to make me the heir of the Zhou family!
"However, I am the heir of the Zhou family in name, but you, the head of the family, don't give up your power. As the heir, I can't even order a servant around. Do you think it's meaningful for me to be the heir of the Zhou family? What's more, I've been the heir for twenty-five years, and you're already over sixty. Why aren't you willing to give up your power?
"So, I had no choice but to use this method! Only by letting you fall can I, the heir of the Zhou family, inherit the Zhou family and become the head of the Zhou family!"
Hearing Zhou Dehong's words, Zhou Zhenlin's face turned green and red. He was so angry that he almost fainted. However, what made him so angry that he spat out blood and completely fainted was Zhou Dehong's last sentence.
He said, "Father, our Zhou family will soon become the number one noble family in the capital. Because I am about to become the grandfather of the future king, the regent with supreme power!"
Zhou Zhenlin's dull eyes were filled with shock. His expression became even more ferocious, twisted, unwilling, resentful, and desperate. Then, he said clearly," The Zhou family is finished!"
After saying this, he completely fainted, and no one knew if he was dead or alive!
Moon Hall
Noble Consort Zhou was dressed in red and had exquisite makeup. She was exceptionally alluring!
She looked at Yuwen Feiye, who was standing in front of her, and said very seriously," Son, since we have no way out, we can only grit our teeth and walk on even if we have to hit our heads and bleed. Do you understand?"
Yuwen Feiye's expression was also very serious, but his eyes revealed extreme ambition and hatred!
Originally, he was the most favored prince of his father. Even if he were to compete with the Crown Prince, as long as he secretly pulled the Crown Prince down, then the position would definitely be his!
But now, because of his uncle's ruthlessness, both mother and son were poisoned, but they had no choice but to continue relying on these poisons to alleviate the symptoms!
Then, he was forced to rebel!
Yuwen Feiye looked at the face of his mother and said seriously," Mother, I know! However, Imperial Mother, don't worry. After we succeed, your son will not let Zhou Dehong off!"
He didn't even want to call him uncle!
Noble Consort Zhou's sharp eyes stared at Yuwen Feiye and nodded." Yes!"
Duke Zhengguo's Mansion
Ever since Wen Yujing had given the antidote to Yuwen Ling, she had been patient these days. She was very quiet and uneasy as she waited for the news!
The purpose of their cooperation was to find a way to hide poison in General Manor.
She found Yuwen Ling, who had been causing a lot of trouble recently and used a small plan to hide the thing in the General's Estate.
However, so many days had passed, so why was it still peaceful?
..
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Eunuch Zhang looked at Yuwen Longyan, who was fuming with rage and veins popping out. He was immediately shocked and asked in surprise.
Yuwen Longyan grabbed his dragon robe with one hand and his hair with the other. He still had some rationality in his mind. He said to Eunuch Zhang," Quick, give me the antidote pill!"
When Eunuch Zhang heard this, he hurriedly took out the jade bottle from the hidden compartment and poured out the antidote pill!
Eunuch Zhang hurriedly fed Yuwen Longyan the antidote." Your Majesty, the antidote!"
After Yuwen Longyan ate the antidote pill, he felt his entire body relax.
He had never thought that the poison that his consort had given him would be so terrifying!
In the beginning, this thing would be addictive, but once the supply was broken, the real drug addiction withdrawal would begin. It was as shocking as tens of thousands of insects gnawing at one's own flesh and bones, making one wish they were dead!
He really did not expect that the person he had doted on for more than 20 years would be so vicious to him. She poisoned him so heartlessly. Moreover, it was a poison that made people wish they were dead!
After Yuwen Longyan calmed down, his eyes narrowed.
He wanted to see what those people wanted to do.
"Your Highness, you're here!" Eunuch Zhang's voice came from outside." It's just that Your Highness, His Majesty is not feeling well today and will not see anyone. Please go back!"
Noble Consort Zhou's charming voice was filled with shock and worry, but it seemed to be mixed with a trace of surprise." What? Is His Majesty not feeling well? Then I must go and take a look!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a painful cry from the study!
