Chapter 310 - Transaction
"When did the Emperor of Chu arrive? Why didn't you send anyone to inform me so that I could go out to greet him? This is really rude!" Feng Muyan said in surprise.
Song Yunli's mouth stiffened and she rubbed her eyebrows with her hand. She could feel Chu Yuhuan approaching, so how could he not notice? What was going on?
"Feng Muyan, does the deal you made last night still count?" Chu Yuhuan asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"No! Doesn't! Count!"
"You..." Chu Yuhuan pointed at Feng Muyan tremblingly.
"Emperor Chu, I gave you a chance last night, but you didn't seize it, so I don't want to give you another chance." The mocking smile in Feng Muyan's eyes gradually faded, his mouth corners pursed into a straight line, then he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and kept weighing it in his hands.
Song Yunli suddenly realized. She wondered why Amu was so confident. It turned out that he had gone to see Chu Yuhuan last night while she was asleep. But why did she see ill intentions in his eyes?
Chu Yuhuan took a few deep breaths to hold back the anger in his chest. He kept telling himself, Chu Yuhuan, you must stay calm. You can't beat Feng Muyan. You must not be impulsive. Even if you can't get help, you must get the antidote back! Then find a way to retaliate. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
"Feng Muyan, hand over the antidote."
"If you want a simple antidote, then what about the head of the Mu family? His crime does not deserve the death penalty, right?" Feng Muyan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I can guarantee that Mu Chen will not die, but the Mu family must also give an explanation to the people, otherwise how can I convince the people? You have to give me a high priest, right?" Although these words were spoken to Feng Muyan, Chu Yuhuan's eyes were fixed on Song Yunli, and the meaning of his words was obvious.
"Emperor Chu, I have no control over how you are going to explain to your people. It seems that you still don't see the situation clearly. Now it's not me who needs you, but you who need me. Moreover, I don't care about the life or death of the Patriarch of the Mu family. He once gave Li'er the Forget Worry Powder, and the account has not been settled yet, so if I really deal with him, it can be regarded as revenge for Li'er."
Feng Muyan's words left Chu Yuhuan speechless. It was the first time he felt frustrated since he ascended the throne.
Feng Muyan was displeased to see Chu Yuhuan's gaze kept on Li'er. He glanced at Chu Yuhuan and walked towards the bed with Song Yunli in his arms. After putting her down, he lowered the bed curtain and walked back.
You are such a good Chu Yuhuan, I let your thieving eyes keep glancing at Li'er, now let's see if you can still catch her!
Song Yunli, who was hiding in the bed, had been listening to their conversation with her ears perked up. She had already figured it out. Chu Yuhuan had just asked Ayimu for the antidote, so Ayimu must have sneaked into Chu Yuhuan's bedroom last night and poisoned him. But what was the deal that Chu Yuhuan had mentioned when he first entered the room? Did Ayimu agree to something with Chu Yuhuan?
It turned out that after Feng Muyan left last night, Chu Yuhuan did not feel any discomfort in his body. He blew out the candle and turned over to lie down. However, not long after, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. No matter how he changed his sleeping position, it could not relieve the pain. He could only stare with his eyes wide open and endure the torture.
At the morning court session the next day, Chu Yuhuan was visibly weaker, and even needed the support of a young eunuch to walk. The ministers were so frightened that they thought their emperor was not going to live long.
"I thought about it for a long time last night and couldn't fall asleep. Since the establishment of the East Chu State, all high priests came from the Mu family. It has been passed down from generation to generation to this day, and it can be said that they have made an indispensable contribution to the benefit of the people. Is it unfair to execute the current head of the family like this? I would like to hear everyone's opinions." After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on the faces of the ministers below the hall.
