With giddy eyes, he knew his life would not be long, but his death would set in motion a great battle out there, for his supporters were willing to die for him.
"How did you survive my frost poison?" asked with curious eyes, should this woman who was so hated and feared die today!
Xiao Yi smiled at the queen mother,
"Sometimes, any evil plan won't be able to touch innocent people. To harm a man who knows nothing, can only turn to the owner of the intention."
The Queen Mother looked at Xiao Yi with Her Majesty alternately,
"Have you heard, about being able to cure poison? The frost poison was the poison of the white scorpion in Pingyuan, which was fermented with clear wine from the south. The antidote to the poison could only be a rattlesnake mixed with pomegranate powder. My grandmother was a poison master, didn't you learn much from all the poisonings in this palace?"
"You didn't have time to drink the antidote, everyone saw for themselves you just drank the wine without ever getting the antidote."The Queen Mother bought it, she could never measure up to where Xiao Yi's intelligence was.
Xiao Yi showed his fiery red fingernails on both hands. Then he flicked his nails a few times. The red powder from his nail dyes flew in the air.
"Look, this is rattlesnake powder and pomegranate extract that I made into my nail polish. Before I drank the wine, these powders were put in the wine cup through the flick of my fingernails. It only takes seven minutes for the antidote powder to mix with the frost-poor wine, so the wine is neutral again." Xiao Yi smiled wryly, making the queen mother only able to gawk at hearing him.
Xiao Yi was just a kid yesterday afternoon who might not even be twenty now, but he had destroyed all the plans he had put together in almost half his age.
How much he felt so ashamed and unable to breathe with this truly dishonorable defeat.
He has staked all his ambitions for decades in the game of a little boy who is not even from a learned family.
"How do you know that wine contains frost?" The queen mother stuttered, she took two steps back even the tip of her dress touched the nose of Zhao Juren who fell behind her, almost tripping her up.
"Many angels have been sent to me by the heavens, Queen Mother. People who do not want to give their lives to hurt others will have many protectors around them. Evil won't really touch him, because he has a lot of people who love him. One hundred people who hate me, one thousand people will still love me."Xiao Yi's reply was so gentle yet so sharp that Zhao Juren's clenched clenched stiffly in place. Her burning red eyes instantly became hot, as if she wanted to cry.
She loved Xiao Yi and was willing to betray her aunt who had raised her affectionately, worthy of raising a child of her own.
For the sake of his feelings of not being able to see Xiao Yi wretched, he witnessed how the queen mother would receive unimaginable punishment, her defeat in the act of scheming with Xiao Yi had promised an unspeakable punishment.
"Who has leaked all this?" The Queen Mother turned to the governor Qian Lie who was lying face down unconscious due to a blow from the Cun Guards.
The only one who knew about this shipment of frost poison was the governor whom he ordered to send from youwu in the shipment items to Xiao Yi from his family.
"I won't say it, Queen Mother.I'll make your question that you carry even into your grave." Xiao Yi shook his head, with an expressionless face.
Suddenly Zhao Juren rose from his position that had originally fallen, the influence of the needle anesthetic gradually disappeared. Walking past his aunt.
"Your Majesty, forgive my aunt..." He dropped himself with his body still staggered, his lips trembling in those words. He witnessed for himself how his aunt had attempted to rebel blatantly before his eyes, even without covering up anymore that she was the brains of all the countless evils within Weiyan's palace even in the assassination attempt on Xiao Yi who was now the king's empress.
The Queen Mother would never be able to obtain forgiveness, she knew it well, but at least she wished that whatever punishment her aunt would receive, she said, he will not be put to death as a traitor, he cannot see it.
Zhao Juren for the first time in her life rested in front of His Highness Yan Yue, bending her body until kissing the ground begging for forgiveness for her aunt.
"Juren...You don't have to do it." Reproving Your Majesty with a heavy voice, all this time he never allowed Zhao juren to rest in front of him so low, because after all, he did, Zhao Juren was his childhood friend in the palace and a good friend who had always protected him in various battle arenas and battlefields for many years before he was made king.
"Juren! Stand up! Don't do this...." The Empress Dowager charged towards Zhao Juren with blushing pias, she pulled the two big shoulders of the dashing man to wake up immediately. But, Zhao Juren did not budge, she dropped her head again to the floor.
"I know that aunt has been very guilty, her sin is unforgivable, for all the actions of this aunt will not be able to avoid punishment. But, I plead Your Majesty's humility in the name of our friendship that has been like a brother, let me bear all the punishment for the queen mother. Give him a chance to live, alienate, just lock him up where His Majesty deigns. But don't take an inch of his old life. Let my aunt live to reflect on her mistakes." Zhao Juren said that long sentence without any more stammering, she so pleaded with humility.
Xiao Yi was silent where he stood, staring straight at the person who had risked his life many times to protect him. His heart was so saddened to see how Zhao Juren pleaded. How could he repay this man, at least he could pay a little of the debt he had never actually asked for.
"Juren! Wake up! You don't deserve to be like this..."Shouted the queen like a madman.
"Why can't I beg for aunty? I love my aunt as much as my own mother. I can't see aunty receiving torture, let me endure it for aunty. I'm willing to endure it, aunt." Zhao Juren said in a bitter but firm voice.
"Mr Zhao Juren, you don't deserve to kiss your own brother's feet."
Governor Qian Lie said those words, while trying to raise his head from the floor of the oversized hall.
Although not loud but like a thunderbolt for those who hear it.
