Chapter 934: Finale (2-2)
Ji Yunxi smiled self-deprecatingly and walked back. She took out a porcelain bottle and placed it on the imperial table. "This is the medicine my father made when he was raising the Human Voodoo Dolls." She paused and said seriously, "Don’t take it unless you have no choice."
This time, Shangguan Yu did not speak again until Ji Yunxi walked out of the imperial study.
Seeing that he had been staring at the porcelain bottle in silence, Lianshan, who was waiting at the side, suddenly walked forward and knelt down. "Your Majesty, General Yan is not worth risking your life."
Shangguan Yu’s eyes turned cold. "Lianshan!"
Cold sweat broke out on Lianshan’s forehead. He lowered his head and continued, "When we first came to the Wu Kingdom, the emperor of Great Xia sent people to see you, but those people were detained by General Yan. That day, you asked me to deliver medicine to General Yan and I happened to bump into them and overhear the conversation. Concubine Li wasn’t killed by the empress dowager at all."
Shangguan Yu was stunned and said coldly, "How do you know that the other party isn’t quibbling?"
"That’s what I thought at first, but I also heard General Yan instruct Mr. Chang to deal with them cleanly. He said that he would never let you know."
Mr. Chang was Yan Guangmao’s most trusted retainer. During the days he led the troops to war, Mr. Chang had been in charge of all the matters in the general’s residence, including kidnapping Song Li from Great Xia. He was also the one who planned it.
