Chapter 566 Herbs, Reluctant to Give Up
Guagua continued: [Chang Mingrou knew about the news that Meng Jiaojiao was to be celebrated, and realized that this was a good opportunity.]
Determined to kill Meng Jiaojiao, they prepared a rare poison.
When this poison is added to alcohol, it immediately blends with the alcohol.
Even with a sensitive nose, it's difficult to detect any difference.
The one thing Chang Mingrou hadn't expected was that Li Guang would drink that glass of wine.
Shen Zhao: [But with a pot of wine, it's completely uncertain who will drink the first cup.]
Isn't Chang Mingrou worried that Li Guang will harm his health if he drinks it, and then Li Yuan will hold her accountable?
Guagua: [Host, have you forgotten what the occasion was?]
At Meng Jiaojiao's birthday banquet, the first toast was naturally made to her birth mother.
As a result, Meng Jiaojiao didn't even give her own son any face.
Who would have thought that Li Guang would drink it all in one go?
Even the servant standing outside the door couldn't stop it in time; he thought it was all over.
He hurriedly ran to find Chang Mingrou to discuss something.
As for Li Guang, it was Meng Jiaojiao who personally rushed to the courtyard to find the doctor.
Shen Zhao: [Li Guang is in such a terrible state!]
So that's how his leg got damaged?
Guagua: [That's right, that poison is really powerful and can't be dispelled.]
The only way to save that life is to concentrate the toxins below the legs.
Li Yuan was furious when he learned that his heir had suffered such a fate!
However, the whereabouts of the wood could not be found.
All the people, big and small, who handled the food at this banquet were arrested and interrogated.
Unfortunately, there was nothing wrong with the food; it was carefully prepared by the chef.
And that pot of wine, in the end, also passed through the hands of wood.
At this point, the trail went cold!
In the video, Li Yuan arrives at the East Palace Villa in a fit of rage.
Chang Mingrou, dressed in casual clothes, calmly tended to the flowers and plants.
Li Yuan's expression was icy, and his gaze towards Chang Mingrou was cold.
"Mingrou, I've already told you."
Li Guang is the future of Li Huo Palace; you shouldn't harm him.
All these years have passed, and Li Guang has always respected you.
He never sought revenge on you because of what happened to his biological mother.
I always thought you two were getting along well, but I never imagined things would turn out this way.
His face was filled with regret, and his tone was somber.
A flash of coldness crossed Chang Mingrou's eyes as she calmly put down the scissors in her hand.
Then, she carefully wiped the dust off her hands with a basin of clean water brought by a maid.
After all that, the room became very quiet.
Li Yuan stared in disbelief, yet a hint of understanding crept into his eyes.
Over the years, he had grown accustomed to Chang Mingrou's calm demeanor, no matter the time or place.
He was so angry that he couldn't control himself.
After drinking two cups of cold tea, Li Yuan sat down in his chair with a magnanimous air, waiting for Chang Mingrou to give him an explanation.
Chang Mingrou's tightly pursed lips finally loosened slightly.
At this moment, she really didn't want to argue with Li Yuan.
Fortunately, the man realized the situation was not going well and stopped his overbearing behavior.
Chang Mingrou dismissed the servants who were attending to her in the room and poured herself a cup of hot tea.
The steaming heat was so intense that even from a distance, with my excellent eyesight, I could see it.
Looking down at the cold tea in his hand, he felt inexplicably uneasy.
He was drinking cold tea himself, and the servants didn't even remind him.
Chang Mingrou ignored his little schemes and answered them slowly and methodically.
"Palace Master, you've misunderstood what you're saying."
The matter concerning the young palace master is still unclear, as the mastermind behind it remains unsolved.
You're taking the blame for me, which is forcing the young master to completely drift apart from me.
You yourself said that the young master and I respect each other.
The moment you say that, the young master could immediately draw his sword and kill me.
Also, that crazy woman Meng Jiaojiao has already left that courtyard.
They'll have to fight me to a standstill.
But she's already a cripple; she probably can't withstand a single move from me.
Chang Mingrou had her eyebrows lowered, and although she had a bright and dignified appearance, the shadow on half of her face gave off a sinister feeling.
It has to be said that Li Yuan owes Chang Mingrou a debt!
But leaving the light is a big deal!
He lowered his voice and rebuked him unhappily.
"Mingrou, don't tell me anything else."
Even if you want to bring Wei'er back, I have no right to refuse.
But you're thinking too much; you want to get rid of Guang'er for Wei'er's sake.
Chang Mingrou's hand trembled, and she smashed the teacup on the table.
She was completely oblivious to the sound of the teacup shattering; her eyes were fixed intently on the distance.
"Li Yuan, how do you know Wei'er's whereabouts?"
...
Shen Zhao was quite surprised to see this scene.
[Guagua, Li Yuan obviously knows something too?]
It seems the turmoil at Li Huo Palace is far from over!
Guagua: [Host, don't underestimate Li Yuan, the Palace Master of Li Huo Palace.]
He might appear indecisive in the inner quarters for various reasons.
But outside, he is the one who has the final say.
Li Yuan has been searching for Li Wei's eldest son, Li Yuan.
He even mobilized more people than Chang Mingrou.
Therefore, he knew Li Wei was in that small village several years earlier.
Shen Zhao: [What? If Li Yuan found his eldest son a long time ago, why didn't he bring him back?]
As Guagua said this, she glanced meaningfully at Li Guang through Shen Zhao's mind.
A hint of surprise flashed across Li Guang's eyes; he was unaware of these inside details.
Li Guang had a feeling that he would receive some unusual news from today's trip.
Guagua: [Li Yuan only learned of Li Wei's whereabouts three years ago.]
That year, Li Yuan tracked down Elder Gong and found that he had appeared in the small village.
He was very wary of Elder Gong, who had caused the rebellion.
He disguised himself and went to the small village.
It was during this journey that he met Li Wei.
Li Wei was about sixteen years old at the time, and he often went to the mountains to look for medicinal herbs.
At that time, Li Yuan's cold poison flared up, and he was so weak that he collapsed on the slope of the mountain.
When Li Wei was looking for those cold-natured herbs, he liked to go to those shady slopes.
That's when they encountered Li Yuan, who was in a semi-comatose state.
In the video, Li Wei is carrying a basket on his back and using a cane as he walks carefully.
He parted a patch of grass and found an unconscious stranger.
Without changing his expression, he released the bushes and prepared to leave the area.
Perhaps due to his childhood experiences and his mature mind at a young age, Li Wei did not have much kindness in his heart.
But after a quick glance, he couldn't bear to leave.
He turned his head back and looked at it carefully for a while, confirming that it was the Cold Shadow Grass he had been searching for.
Li Yuan forcefully parted the grass and stepped inside.
However, the slope was so winding that he had to move forward in an awkward posture.
After finally reaching the field of herbs, his expression immediately fell when he saw what it was.
It turned out that the herb was being held tightly in the unconscious man's hand.
He pulled hard, separating the man's hand from the herbs.
The herb will break immediately, and then it will lose its medicinal properties.
His brows furrowed, showing his considerable frustration.
Looking at the sky for a while, it's getting late.
But Li Wei really couldn't bear to give up these herbs!
