Dahan: A 100-year-old veteran, I will build the strongest family

Chapter 26: Empress He murders Concubine Wang, and Li Hong wants to take action (Long Chapter)

I have to say, the Queen is really something.

That size is no joke.

Anyone who goes to see it will know.

Especially her dignified temperament as the mother of a country, coupled with her charming and attractive beauty.

Is it true that no ordinary person can bear it?
"The Queen has spoken too much. How can I be surprised? Your Majesty is putting state affairs first. I am so happy that I can't contain my joy." Li Hong stroked his gray beard and looked at the Queen with a smile.

The Queen naturally caught the passion in Li Hong's eyes. Even though she was the one who took the initiative to seduce Li Hong, her heart still trembled slightly.

It seems that looking at Li Hong, a 100-year-old veteran with a vigorous spirit and white beard, is also boring? Abnormal stimulation?

A different feeling suddenly erupted.

The queen quickly suppressed her restless mind and said with a smile:
"General Li, let's get started. I'm really looking forward to learning this health-preserving boxing technique."

"Okay! Queen, Lady Wang, let's get started."

Li Hong stroked his gray beard and smiled.

Immediately, the Queen and the enthusiastic Concubine Wang began to practice the health-preserving boxing again.

Li Hong also took a small stick for teaching and corrected the movements of the Queen and Concubine Wang.

In a blink of an eye, another quarter of an hour passed, and the Queen and Concubine Wang had already mastered thirty styles of boxing.

At this time, the two women were exhausted, panting and sweating profusely.

Li Hong was also distracted by the two women.

It's no wonder Li Hong is like this. In fact, the queen has an excellent temperament, she is dignified and elegant, and she is as charming as a beauty. But Wang Meiren has a face value of 102, she is a graceful and beautiful beauty, who can resist this?

"Let's stop here today. You can come again tomorrow. When you go back, remember to ask the maid to give you a massage so that you can recover faster." Li Hong said to the Queen and Concubine Wang.

The Queen and Concubine Wang both breathed a sigh of relief.

"I am sweating all over and feeling very uncomfortable. I need to go to Li's Mansion to wash up first. General Li, is it convenient for you?" the Queen asked Li Hong.

Li Hong had no reason to refuse after hearing this, so he said:
"Of course it's convenient, as long as the Queen doesn't mind the Li Mansion's simplicity."

As he spoke, Li Hong arranged for the maid to take the queen to wash and bathe.

Of course, Zhao Zhong couldn't let the queen bathe alone in the unfamiliar environment of Li's house, so he greeted Li Hong and hurriedly took his men to follow.

He had to watch the queen bathe outside the door.

The only people left on the martial arts arena were Li Hong, Concubine Wang, and Concubine Wang's personal maid.

"Ahem, General Li, after practicing your health-preserving boxing, I really feel much better. General Li, you are amazing!"

The graceful and beautiful Lady Wang coughed softly and smiled admiringly at Li Hong.

Listening to Lady Wang's gentle whispers of admiration, Li Hong felt happy and accomplished.

However, just as Li Hong was about to say something, he raised his eyebrows when he saw Lady Wang, who looked a little weak and coughing lightly.

Li Hong said, "Lady Wang, I see that you are weak and there seems to be something wrong with you. Can I feel your pulse?"

"Ah? I'm not feeling well?" Concubine Wang was a little confused when she heard Li Hong's words. However, Concubine Wang still looked at Li Hong and said:
"General, do you know any medical skills? Thank you for your help, General Li!"

Lady Wang still trusts Li Hong very much.

She had previously learned about Li Hong and learned that Li Hong came from a poor family in Longxi. He went to the border at a young age and guarded the border for decades, working hard to revive the former glory of the Longxi Li family.

Later he went to Luoyang, invented strong liquor, knives and soap, started from scratch, and founded the Li family. Until now, he has persisted in practicing martial arts for decades, and finally became a peerless military general.

Lady Wang had a genuine admiration and fondness for Li Hong.

Li Hong looked at the onion-white arm stretched out in front of him, and without hesitation, he pressed it with a serious expression.

It feels smooth to the touch.

Li Hong could easily feel Lady Wang's body tremble.

However, Lady Wang felt a strange feeling rising in her heart, and a blush rose from her neck to her fair and delicate face.

"This is…not good."

Suddenly, Li Hong's voice brought Lady Wang back from her trance.

But at this time Li Hong's expression was very serious, which surprised Lady Wang.

"General Li, what's wrong? Am I sick? No wonder I have been coughing and feeling weak in recent days." Concubine Wang said softly to Li Hong.

Concubine Wang was not too worried. After all, there was an imperial physician in the palace who was the best doctor in the world.

"No, I'm not sick. It's that you, Concubine Wang, have been poisoned." Li Hong said sternly. His voice was like a thunderbolt that made Concubine Wang's body tremble violently.

Was she poisoned?

"This is impossible, right? How could anyone dare to poison me? Besides, there are people testing the food every day!"

Lady Wang said to Li Hong in disbelief.

Li Hong looked at Lady Wang, his eyes flickering slightly, and approached Lady Wang and whispered:
"This should be a chronic poison. Usually, the other party only puts a small amount each time. It cannot be detected by tasting alone. Therefore, when you eat too much, the toxicity will slowly accumulate, and sooner or later the toxicity will erupt. If you don't believe it, you can go back and test the poison with a silver needle. If the silver needle turns blue-black, it means that the food you eat is poisonous." "However, your current situation is very dangerous, so don't act rashly. Because since the other party wants to harm you and poisons the food, it means that the other party has bribed the imperial doctors and the people in charge of the diet. The enemy is in the dark, and the other party's power and ability are not low, and you are in the light. If you act rashly, you will definitely alert the enemy and you will have no evidence."

"How about this, if you find something poisonous later, bring some here. I will prepare an antidote for you, so that the poison can't hurt you."

Li Hong pondered for a moment, then came up with a solution for Lady Wang.

"Can a silver needle test for poison? Oh, okay, okay, I'll listen to the old general." When Concubine Wang heard that someone really was poisoning her and wanted to harm her, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and her heart was in turmoil.

"Yes, silver needles can be used to test poison. However, no one in the Han Dynasty knows this method yet, so you must not spread it out. Remember, don't be impulsive, otherwise you will be in danger in the palace!" Li Hong once again solemnly advised Concubine Wang.

The silver needle method of testing poison can be traced back to the Song Dynasty forensic doctor Song Ci's "Xi Yuan Lu": "If you want to test for poison, use a silver hairpin to wipe the person with soap water, then insert the needle. After a long time, it will be blue-black when it is taken out."

As for the current Han Dynasty, Li Hong has never seen anyone use silver needles to test poison.

After the Queen came back from her bath, Concubine Wang looked listless.

After the queen took a bath, she looked even more beautiful and charming.

Concubine Wang stared at the queen quietly.

Although she is simple, she is not stupid.

If someone wanted to poison her, it would probably be no one else except the queen, but she had no evidence.

"My brother, Henan Yin, admires General Li very much. He asked if General Li would be available tomorrow. If so, I will go back to He's mansion tomorrow and personally entertain General Li to thank him for teaching me the health-preserving boxing technique!"

The queen did not notice Concubine Wang's gaze. At this moment, her beautiful eyes were sparkling as she looked at Li Hong. Her royal sister's voice touched people's hearts.

Li Hong had a smile on his face, but he vaguely understood what the Queen meant. The Queen wanted to attend the banquet tomorrow in person, and she was probably trying to win him over.

Li Hong did not refuse. You have to know that the He family's status has soared in the past few years, and it can be said that their power has encroached on the government and the public.

However, the He family is also a top powerful family. It is still very necessary for the Li family to be on good terms with the He family.

"The Queen and the Governor of Henan invited me, so I will naturally not refuse."

When the Queen saw that Li Hong agreed, she said goodbye to him and was about to leave.

Li Hong cupped his hands, watching the empress's charming figure as she left, and Concubine Wang quietly moving away.

Li Hong narrowed his eyes slightly.

When Li Hong discovered that Concubine Wang was poisoned, he immediately knew who the real culprit was.

Undoubtedly, the person who poisoned was the queen.

Concubine Wang was the mother of Emperor Xian of Han.

Historically, Concubine Wang was poisoned to death by Empress He not long after she gave birth to Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie.

This matter caused a big fuss. You have to know that Liu Hong liked Concubine Wang very much.

Because he loved the woman who lived in the house, he also loved Liu Xie, the son of Wang Meiren.

It was because of this that the Queen felt her position was threatened and she poisoned Concubine Wang.

Li Hong didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing.

However, this also made Li Hong think.

In fact, from the first moment he saw Concubine Wang, Li Hong developed a possessive mentality towards the stunningly beautiful, graceful and aesthetic Concubine Wang.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a beautiful woman?

However, intimidated by Lady Wang's identity, Li Hong could only suppress his inner restlessness.

However, perhaps we can now make some plans.

At this moment, Li Hong also became determined to win over Concubine Wang.

There is a reason why Li Hong is so determined to win.

Except for my own likes.

On the other hand, Lady Wang is also one of the few high-quality women in the Han Dynasty.

Now among his wives and concubines, only Madam Bian, Liu Yao and Xiao Yue are high-quality women in the Han Dynasty.

However, the three girls had just given birth not long ago, and Li Hong also understood that if one did not want to damage the women's vitality, it would be best to stop having children again after giving birth for at least half a year or a year.

But, Li Hong couldn't wait that long.

If you give birth to more outstanding children sooner, you can get more civil and military officials with the surname Li, and they will all be the new forces of the Li family.

And, there is also a lifespan bonus.

Therefore, Lady Wang.

Li Hong is determined to win!
Li Hong's plan was to let Concubine Wang test the poison with a silver needle, keep it secret, and then ask him to prepare the antidote after confirmation. He needed to gain Concubine Wang's trust first.

Li Hong has already started to plot against Concubine Wang.
