Pathological Trapping - Chap 86
Hearing footsteps, she slowly turned back.
The hairpin on her head swayed slightly as she moved.
Li Dezhuang saluted.
The imperial concubine didn’t let him get up.
”The last time I saw you, I thought you were just Jian’er’s confidant. You took care of him when he was young. That’s why he treated you differently. But I didn’t expect you to lie down next to him. What a good trick.”
When the Imperial Concubine said this, she didn’t frown or twitch a muscle on her face, but she exuded an intimidating aura.
It was like a huge mountain pressing down on Li Dezhuang’s head, so heavy that he couldn’t even lift his head.
Li Dezhuang really wanted to say, “Please be reasonable. Your son forced a straight man like me to be the one who suffers! I feel wronged too!”
”Jian’er gave you a name, Shouzhi. To be recognized by someone… It seems that this person is Jian’er herself.”
The imperial concubine paused and looked at Li Dezhuang who was kneeling on the ground.
He was clearly just lowering his head, with only the top of his head and a thin white neck showing, but he still looked good.
Today, Mu Jian was willing to take a risky move for him.
In the future, I will be able to overthrow the country for him.
Repeated reminders were of no use, and the beauties that were sent to him were all ignored by Mu Jian, or even given away.
Then she would have to do it herself.
The imperial concubine gave a look to the maid next to her, and the maid presented her with a pill.
Imperial Concubine: “Do you know what this is?”
Poison!
What else could it be!
It can’t be the Ten-fold Tonic Pill!
”After taking this medicine, the attack will occur once every half a month. The pain is unbearable, as if thousands of ants are gnawing at your heart and lungs. It is unbearable.”
The imperial concubine paused, “Do you want to eat it yourself, or do you want me to ask someone to pry open your mouth and stuff it in?!”
”I can do it myself.”
The imperial concubine smiled and said, “You are sensible.”
Li Dezhuang took the pill tremblingly and looked at it for a while.
Now that the situation in the court has become clearer, Mu Jian has been growing stronger in secret, and even becomes desperate when he gets crazy.
This imperial concubine probably feels that she can no longer control her son, so she wants to control him, and then control Mu Jian!
”Your Highness wants me to eat this. Are you using me to hold Your Highness hostage?”
”That’s right.” The imperial concubine smiled. “Everyone knows that one should hide one’s weaknesses. My foolish son actually showed you off in public. Don’t worry, as long as you work hard for me, I will never treat you unfairly.”
But forget it.
Who would believe that!
The first person Mu Jian killed after he took over was you, the mother who abandoned her own son. I am really dying to work with you.
Mu Jian’s hatred for the imperial concubine dates back many years. If he has to make a choice between the two, he will definitely kill his mother!
Li Dezhuang was pinching the pill.
”Is this medicine bitter? I am afraid of bitterness.”
The imperial concubine smiled, “Is it useful to delay this little bit? Jian’er is with his father right now. This is the time for him to regain his father’s heart, why would he come to you?”
Li Dezhuang sighed.
Everyone knows that Mu Jian likes him.
Everyone wants to take advantage of him.
He rolled his eyes and thought, let me run.
But there were several guards standing behind him.
With his tiny arms and legs, who can he beat? !
The imperial concubine’s eyes became fierce, “Come here, pry open his mouth and feed him the medicine!”
Li Dezhuang stood up suddenly and threw the medicine in his hand. The pill fell into the river with a small “plop”.
There was a moment of silence.
Li Dezhuang started to run, but after only two steps he was caught up by the guards who pounced on him and pinned him to the ground.
His face and lips were rubbed against the stones. The stones were all covered with his blood. It was burning with pain.
The imperial concubine was so angry that her face turned blue.
”Take out the other one and stuff it in his mouth!”
Oh shit!
Li Dezhuang cursed in his heart.
How come this evil drug is still being mass-produced? !
Throw away one and there is still one?!
He struggled desperately, but couldn’t break free from the shackles on his body.
The maid holding the pills ran closer and suddenly screamed. Then, the force on Li Dezhuang suddenly loosened. He didn’t care about anything else, he got up and ran.
When he looked back while running, he found that the people who had just held him down, as well as the little palace maid, all had injuries.
The imperial concubine’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
”who?!”
A man walked out from behind the tree.
Li Dezhuang saw the other person clearly at a glance, it was Li Yu!
He ran over quickly and hid behind Li Yu like a drowning man seeing a piece of driftwood.
Li Yu bowed respectfully to the imperial concubine, “Your Majesty.”
The imperial concubine sneered, “So it was you who was secretly loyal to Jian’er all along. Why? Was it Jian’er’s idea that you followed him?”
”yes.”
It’s not only about protecting safety, but also about being responsible. If someone runs away, you have to catch them back.
The imperial concubine moved lightly, with anger evident on her face, “You touch my people, do you think Jian’er can protect you?”
Li Yu was neither humble nor arrogant.
”Whether His Highness can protect me is something I have to consider. What Your Majesty should consider is that His Highness will be back soon. I’m afraid he will be unhappy to see the wound on Master Li’s face.”
The imperial concubine’s face turned cold.
”Parents all over the world are so pitiful. I am doing this for his own good.”
”I am a clumsy person and don’t understand these things. Your Majesty, please keep this to yourself and talk to His Highness. Master Li, I will take him back first.”
The imperial concubine’s face turned blue, then white, then white, then blue again at that moment. It was very beautiful.
Li Dezhuang was stunned!
As expected, he is the boss beside the male lead, so tough!
Li Yu took Li Dezhuang back and helped him get on the carriage. Looking at his injured face, he hesitated to speak. They had already left, but they still turned back.
”Mr. Li, since His Highness truly loves you, even if it’s for your own safety, don’t even think about running away.”
