A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 168

The next day, Li Jin and Yang Wanqing arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shen Zaiye had something to enter the palace, so he asked Taohua to entertain him, Jiang Taohua followed the rules and made all the etiquette into consideration, and took a few ladies in the backyard to accompany the two generals for a tour.

"It's really a good place." Yang Wanqing smiled: "It's better than Zhao's Prime Minister's Mansion."

Li Jin didn't say a word, his eyes kept falling on Taohua, and the latter pretended not to see it, and greeted them with a smile to enter Zhengchun Pavilion for tea.

"I have something to tell you alone." Li Jin said.

Jiang Taohua smiled, looked at him seriously, and said, "I don't want to hear about the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

"Peach Blossom." He frowned, "I thought about it for a long time before I wanted to say these words."

A group of ladies followed not far behind, the corners of Jiang Taohua's mouth twitched, wishing to punch him.But seeing his attitude of not giving up without speaking out, she decided to give in a step, and stretched out her hand to the person behind: "Please come inside first, everyone."

Yang Wanqing nodded, and went into the main house to drink tea with all the ladies, Taohua took Li Jin to the side, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

"I thought about it all night last night." Li Jin frowned and said, "Wan Qing said that I was just unwilling to lose you, so I care about you so much now, but... I really still like you."

"Oh." Nodding expressionlessly, Tao Hua asked: "And then? Take me out of here, you won't be that prime minister anymore, let's elope?"

Li Jin was taken aback, and smiled wryly, "You know it's impossible."

"So what's the use of you coming to tell me these things?" Taohua said impatiently, "Prove how sincere you are, and let me follow suit? When the outcome is set, affection is useless!"

"I..." Li Jin lowered his eyes, held his hands and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I want you not to resist me so much, at least if one day I deliver the antidote to you, you have to eat it."

Antidote?Taohua narrowed her eyes: "Yang Wanqing already gave it to me."

"It's not the antidote. It can only be cured for a while, but not for a lifetime." Li Jin frowned: "The charming Gu on your body can only save your life for five years, don't you know?"

Five years.

Taohua smiled, and the autumn sunshine brushed across her face, making her brows and eyes bright, pretty and affectionate: "Five years is a long time, I am content."

Her position with Lu's will never be unified, and Lu's has no intention of giving her an antidote.If there was anyone in this world who could detoxify the poison of seductiveness, she wouldn't be so eager to do everything she had to do before the deadline expired.

A woman's life is not long, and she doesn't think there is anything to regret, let alone rely on someone like Li Jin to save her.

"Can you not give up on yourself so easily?" Li Jin's eyes were red, and he was suddenly powerless. He looked down at her and said, "Jiang Taohua, you don't live to make things happen for someone. You have your own life to live. There are still so many beautiful mountains and rivers in the world that you haven’t seen, and you haven’t tasted delicacies, don’t you think it’s cruel to accept the fact that you’re about to die so calmly?”

"I don't think so." Taohua shook her head, "What's so cruel?"

"It's cruel to the person who loves you." Li Jin gritted his teeth: "No matter what you think of me, I will definitely get this antidote for you, and I will never let you die!"

"Oh, thank you." Taohua nodded, turned around and said, "As long as you bring it, I will definitely eat it, don't worry."

She is not stupid, she really has the antidote, no matter who gave it, it must be boring.How can one's own life be more important than face.

Moss watched from the side, seeing that her master was about to leave, she hurriedly followed.I just couldn't help but look back.

She has only been with the master for two years, and she doesn't know what the master and Prime Minister Li have experienced before.But looking at it now, she always felt that Prime Minister Li was a bit pitiful.

How noble and aloof this man was when he was in the Zhao country, he would not bow his head to anyone, but he became so humble in front of his master.Probably too many crimes, let's pay off the debt now.

Li Jin stood there watching Jiang Taohua enter the main house, feeling the pain in his heart, he squatted down slowly, and was about to take a few breaths, when a person popped up beside him and dragged him into a dark room .

"Don't make a sound." Xu Yangui leaned against Li Jin's neck solemnly, "I have something to ask you."

"Who are you?" Li Jin frowned, unable to see his face clearly in the dark.

"Don't worry about this, it won't harm Jiang Taohua." Xu Yangui asked in a deep voice, "Just now you said that Jiang Taohua's life is only five years away?"

Li Jin was taken aback for a moment, then closed his mouth and said nothing.Without knowing who the other party is, it is naturally not suitable to say such words.

However, Qingmo was clearly the only one around them just now, how could he hear it?Moss didn't even notice that there was someone beside her, did she?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was something cold on his neck. Li Jin paused, frowned and said, "If you don't tell me who you are, even if you kill me, I won't tell you."

Still pretty tough?Xu Yangui sneered, and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain by the window, exposing half of his face to the light coming in from outside: "I'm from the Xiangfu, so you should feel relieved, right?"

"Prime Minister Shen?"

"you can say it this way."

Frowning and thinking for a while, Li Jin said in a deep voice, "In that case, I want to see Prime Minister Shen alone."

Xu Yangui raised her eyebrows, thought for a moment, and carried him out of the mansion.

The people in the main house didn't care where Li Jin went, they were still talking about their daughter's house.

Shen Zaiye said that he had entered the palace, but in fact he was drinking tea in Fuyun Tower.When Xu Yangui brought Li Jin over, he was a little surprised: "Prime Minister Li didn't catch up at the Prime Minister's residence?"

"There's nothing good about the past." Sitting down beside him, Li Jin had a serious expression on his face: "I have something to clarify with Prime Minister Shen."

Elegantly holding the teacup, Shen Zaye looked sideways at the distant mountain scenery outside the window, and said unhurriedly: "Prime Minister, but it's okay to say."

"Prime Minister Shen was in a dilemma before, because of the peach blossoms, right?"

Hearing this address, Shen Zaiye's eyebrows twitched, and he turned his head with a smile and said, "Peach Blossom is her boudoir name. Since she is a married woman now, it is better for the prime minister to call her the Jiang family."

Li Jin laughed back angrily: "Jiang Shi is Jiang Shi. Seeing the prime minister's words and deeds, he must care about her very much, right?"

"Naturally." Shen Zaiye nodded: "After all, she is Shen's regular wife."

"Since this is the case, then Prime Minister Shen will definitely not stand by and watch Jiang's life and death." Li Jin got up and lifted his robe, and knelt down directly to the person in the seat: "Li has something to ask."

Shen Zaiye was still taken aback by the sudden gift, and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "You can speak well, but Prime Minister Li doesn't have to."

Xu Yangui frowned, and stood by the side blankly, wanting to stop, but not wanting to stop, so entangled that his face was squeezed into a ball.

He has been hiding the poisoning of Jiang Taohua from Shen Zaiye, because it is really of no benefit.But after hearing Li Jin's words today, he felt that if Shen Zaiya didn't know about it, it would be too cruel for him to suddenly die Jiang Taohua five years later, so it's better to know in advance and make preparations.

It's just that, in case of being helpless after knowing it, will Shen Zaiye be in despair?

When he was hesitating, Li Jin had already spoken: "Ms. Jiang was killed by Queen Lu of the Zhao Kingdom. She was poisoned. She could only rely on drugs to maintain her life and was restrained by the queen. If the poison has not recovered after five years If it is completely untied, Jiang's life will be lost!"

The pupils shrank slightly, Shen Zaiye squinted his eyes and thought about it, and asked, "Will the pain make her roll when the poison flares up?"

"Yes." Li Jin gritted his teeth: "It's like ten thousand ants eating your heart."

Shen Zaiye fell silent, his eyelids drooped, the expression in his eyes could no longer be seen clearly, and there was no expression on his face.

Li Jin thought that he would be very sad, and he should be nervous no matter how bad he was, but he didn't expect such a reaction, so he couldn't help frowning immediately: "Prime Minister Shen? Are you not worried?"

"How do you know?" Shen Zaiya asked lightly.

How can this be seen?You don't look worried at all, okay?Li Jin stood up and frowned and said, "This is about Jiang's life. Is it possible that I still lie? If you don't believe me, you can ask Qingmo, she must know how painful her master's poisonous hair is every month! Since you are her Husband, and caring about her so much, how could he not respond?"

With a chuckle, Shen Zaiye said: "You just have to talk about how to save her."

Originally, Li Jin planned to ask Shen Zaiye for help. After all, he is the prime minister of Wei, with a high position and authority, and there must be more ways to do it.However, seeing his attitude, he hesitated instead: "I told you, the prime minister will save you?"

"That depends on the method." Shen Zaiye said: "If it is beyond Shen's ability, Shen will naturally be powerless."

What a cold-blooded person!Li Jin gritted his teeth, hesitated for a while and said: "The antidote is with Mrs. Lu, but she will not give it out easily, especially now that Mrs. Jiang is threatening her. She may use the antidote to threaten Mrs. Jiang at any time." .I've tried many things, but nothing works."

Jiang Taohua is now a big bargaining chip in Lu's hands, so naturally she won't let it go easily.Shen Zaye pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I see."

That's it?Li Jin was furious: "I tell you this because I want you to help, not just to let you know!"

"Shen didn't say he wouldn't help." Shen Zaiye frowned: "What is the Prime Minister so excited about?"

"Because I can't see how sincere you are to Jiang!" Li Jin said angrily, "If you really care about her and like her, shouldn't you be anxious? You should also ask me more about Gu poison, but you You didn't say anything, and you acted like nothing to do with yourself, and I couldn't help but wonder if you and Mrs. Jiang were just playing on the spot?"

Is it useful to be in a hurry?Is it useful to ask other redundant questions?Shen Zaiye smiled, lowered his eyes and continued to drink tea: "Prime Minister Li doubts or not, and I don't care at all next time."
