Empress in her second playthrough: Something's not right with this plot!

Secondly, after I transmigrated here, there was something unknown inside my body.

Furthermore, the matter of poisoning is not mentioned in the book.

Beyond the plot he controlled, one unexpected event after another occurred.

Because of his interference and changes to the original plot, the plot gradually changed accordingly.

All of this was beyond his expectations.

The once lofty and aloof creator god mentality is gradually being worn away.

……

Ministry of Justice.

"Prime Minister, we've arrived."

Liu Quan was pulled back to reality by Li Yunsheng's thoughts, and he opened the door and got out of the car.

He straightened his back, and his spine cracked and popped.

Riding in a horse-drawn carriage is truly a torment.

As a modern person, even with the original body's memories integrated, there are still many things I'm not used to.

For example, the morning court session is not described in detail in his book.

In his memory, military officers rode horses and civil officials rode sedan chairs, which was the standard for ancient officials when going to court.

But just as he was about to leave for the morning court session, he remembered that in the original owner's memories, he rode a horse to court.

Whether civil or military officials, they generally rode horses to court, unless they were too old to ride.

From emperors to prime ministers to scholars, almost everyone enjoyed riding horses.

Whether attending court or in daily life, people preferred to ride horses when they could.

Whether a civil official or a military general, if they traveled in a sedan chair carried by human laborers, their colleagues and friends would most likely assume they were unwell.

Therefore, for a person of moderate age and good health from the Great Chu, riding a horse was the usual choice for travel.

At dawn, the gates of the neighborhood opened, and servants led the horses.

Riding a finely adorned horse to court is the proper way for officials of the Great Chu to attend court.

But as a modern person, he had never ridden a horse before.

Even with the original owner's memories, the sight of that tall horse when he stepped out in the morning made him want to back out.

Ultimately, he settled for a carriage.

Anyway, everyone already knows that I am frail and sickly.

Even if the prime minister of the court were to attend the morning court session by carriage, who would dare to say anything?

The reason he came to find Fei Su immediately was to get the antidote.

Now that Fei Su has been locked up and imprisoned, I can negotiate with him.

Everyone is afraid of death, and Fei Su is no exception.

If he could survive, he believed Fei Su would make a wise choice.

The main hall of the Ministry of Justice.

Minister of Justice Cui Yan was personally handling Fei Su's case. As a member of Li's faction, he naturally knew what to do.

The more Fei Suyi's faction is implicated, the better.

Once these people are removed from their positions, Li Xiang can then arrange for his own people to take those empty seats.

By then, who in the court would dare to oppose the Li faction?

Just as Cui Yan struck the gavel, he saw Li Yunsheng enter the hall and immediately stood up.

"Prime Minister Li."

Fei Su, whose hands and feet were shackled, turned his head immediately upon hearing the name Li Xiang.

"Li Yunsheng, do you still intend to personally preside over the court?"

Li Yunsheng ignored the dying man and looked at Cui Yan instead.

"You may all leave. I have something to say to him privately."

Upon hearing this, Cui Yan did not hesitate at all, immediately dismissed his attendants, and then left the hall himself.

Only Li Yunsheng and Fei Su remained in the hall.

Looking down at Fei Su, who was kneeling on the ground in a disheveled state, he asked.

"Where's the antidote?"

Fei Su looked up, puzzled.

"What antidote?"

Li Yunsheng's heart skipped a beat, because the feedback from his innate skill was: [Doubt, Resentment...]

Chapter 8 The Clues Are Broken

It's not surprising that Fei Su harbors resentment, but he shouldn't be puzzled.

Li Yunsheng had a bad feeling.

"We've come this far, and you still won't tell the truth?"

Fei Su looked disdainful. He knew he was going to die, so he had no intention of begging for mercy.

“Li Yunsheng, if you want to kill me, then kill me. Why bother toying with me?”

Teasing?

Li Yunsheng's heart sank deeper and deeper, so he bent down and decided to be frank.

"Stop pretending. I've already found out that you sent someone to poison me."

He searched for renowned doctors throughout the capital, but none of them could tell that he was poisoned.

Even the imperial physicians at the Imperial Medical Bureau couldn't see any signs of poisoning, only saying that his body needed to be gradually recuperated.

However, he was certain that he had been poisoned.

The system doesn't lie, and Xiaolian has already admitted it.

Therefore, only the one who tied the knot can untie it; no one else can cure this poison.

Fei Su was stunned for a long time, and then a guess came to his mind—Li Zei had been poisoned!

Not only was Li Zei poisoned, but he also suspected that Li Zei had sent someone to poison him.

If that's really the case, then dismissing everyone and having a private conversation makes perfect sense.

Having figured this out, he stopped kneeling and instead sat cross-legged.

"You want the antidote?"

Li Yunsheng remained silent, only staring coldly at him.

Fei Su was almost certain of his guess and made an outrageous demand.

"If you reinstate me, I'll give you the antidote."

Li Yunsheng didn't try to bargain with him at all. Instead, he turned around and left the lobby without saying a word or looking back.

Seeing him leave so resolutely, Fei Su panicked.

He gritted his teeth and didn't speak, because if he gave in, Li Yunsheng would take advantage of him.

However, even though Li Yunsheng had already stepped one foot out of the hall, he still showed no intention of stopping.

Fei Su panicked and hurriedly spoke.

"Wait a moment!"

Hey.

Li Yunsheng paused, standing still.

Behind him, Fei Su lowered his demands.

"I can choose not to be the regent—"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunsheng took another large step forward.

"Just one step," Fei Su shouted.

"I don't want anything anymore, I just want to live!"

Li Yunsheng stood still again, looked back, and said something astonishing.

"So, it wasn't you after all."

After saying this, he ignored Fei Su's shouts and left the Ministry of Justice hall.

"Li Yunsheng, only I have the antidote!"

"You come back here!"

"return!"

Fei Su slumped to the ground, unsure whether Li Yunsheng was just playing a trick on him or if he was truly poisoned.

If Li Zei was really poisoned, then I didn't reveal too many flaws just now.

Why would Li Zei be certain that he wasn't the one who poisoned the animals?

Watching Li Yunsheng's departing figure, Fei Su knew only that his only chance to survive had slipped through his fingers.

As Li Yunsheng walked out of the lobby, he was not in a good mood.

He had just confirmed, through his innate skill, that Fei Su was unaware of the poisoning.

Therefore, the only one left to find the antidote is Butler Fei.
