Chapter 168 It seems that it has nothing to do with me

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

Chen Zaiye entered the palace and asked Taohua to entertain herself. Jiang Taohua followed the rules and made all the etiquettes and took several ladies in the backyard to accompany the two generals and ministers' houses together.

"What a good place." Yang Wanqing smiled: "Better than Zhao's prime minister's mansion."

Li Jin didn't say anything, his eyes kept falling on Taohua. The latter pretended not to see it, and smiled and called them to go to Zhengchun Pavilion for tea.

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

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

"Taohua." He frowned: "I thought about it for a long time before I wanted to say these words."

Not far behind, there were a group of wives following. Jiang Taohua's mouth twitched, and she wanted to punch him. But seeing that he was so arrogant that she would not give up until she said it, she decided to give in and reached out to the person behind and said, "Please come in first."

Yang Wanqing nodded and went to the main house with the ladies to have tea first. Taohua took Li Jin to the side and asked with a cold face: "What's the matter?"

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

"Oh." Nodded expressionlessly, Taohua asked, "Then what? Take me out of here. If you don't become the prime minister, will we elope?"

Li Jin was stunned and smiled bitterly, "You know it's impossible."

"So what's the use of telling me about this?" Taohua said impatiently: "Prove how sincere you are, and make me feel uncomfortable? When the ending is settled, the useless thing is deep affection!"

"I..." Li Jin lowered his eyes, pinched 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 send the antidote to you, you have to take it."

The antidote? Taohua narrowed her eyes: "Yang Wanqing has given it to me."

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

Five years.

Peach blossoms smiled, and the autumn sun shone through her face, reflecting her eyebrows and eyes, pretty and passionate: "Five years have been a long time, and I am content."

Her position with Lü will never be unified, and Lü has never intended to give her an antidote. If there were still people in this world who could remove the poison of the charming Gu, she would not be so eager to do everything she should do before the deadline.

A woman's life is not long at all. She doesn't think there is anything bad or regretful, let alone rely on people like Li Jin to save her.

"Can you not give up on yourself so easily?" Li Jin's eyes turned red, and he suddenly felt powerless. He looked down at her and said, "Jiang Taohua, you are not alive to make a fortune for anyone. You have your own life to live. There are so many beautiful scenery in the world that you don't see, you don't taste the delicious food. Don't you feel cruel to accept the fact that you are about to die so calmly?"

"Don't think." Taohua shook her head: "What's cruel?"

"It's very cruel to those who love you." Li Jin gritted his teeth: "No matter how you think of me, I will definitely get this antidote for you. I will never watch you die!"

"Oh, thank you." Taohua nodded and 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 an antidote. No matter who gives it, she will definitely be bored. Her life is much more important than her face.

Qingmose looked around and saw that his master was leaving, so he hurriedly followed. But he couldn't help but look back and take a look.

She has been with her master for only two years, and I don’t know what his master and Prime Minister Li have experienced before. But now she looks at her and always feels that Prime Minister Li is a little pitiful.

How noble and noble this man was when he was in Zhao State? He didn't look down, but he became so humble in front of his master. Maybe he had committed too many sins, so let's pay off his debts now.

Li Jin stood there and watched Jiang Taohua enter the main room. He felt uncomfortable in his heart. He squatted down slowly and was about to take a breath, but someone jumped out of the side, and pulled him into the dark room.

"Don't make a sound." Xu Yangui pressed his face against Li Jin's neck with a serious expression: "I have something to ask you."

"Who are you?" Li Jin frowned, and he couldn't see his face clearly in the darkness.

"Don't worry about this, it won't hurt Jiang Taohua." Xu Yangui asked in a deep voice: "You said just now that Jiang Taohua's life is only five years left?"

Li Jin was stunned and shut up without saying a word. If he didn't know who the other party was, such words were naturally not suitable to say them.

However, there was only Qingmose around them just now, so how could he hear it? Qingmose didn't notice that there was someone next to them?

Just as he was thinking, something cold appeared on his neck. Li Jin paused and frowned and said, "If you don't tell me who you are, even if you kill me, I won't tell you."

Very tough? Xu Yangui sneered, reached out and lifted the curtain by the window, and exposed half of his face in the light shining in: "I am from the Prime Minister's Mansion, so you should be relieved, right?"

"Prime Minister Shen's man?"

"So that's it."

Frowning and thinking for a while, Li Jin said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, I want to meet Prime Minister Shen alone."

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

The people in the main room didn't care where Li Jin went, and were still talking about the topic of his daughter's house.

Shen Zaiye said he had entered the palace, but in fact he was drinking tea in Fuyun Tower. When he saw Xu Yangui bringing Li Jin over, he was a little surprised: "Prime Minister Li didn't actually reminisce about the past in the prime minister's mansion?"

"There is nothing to be said about the old things." Sitting down beside him, Li Jin looked heavy: "I have something to say to Prime Minister Shen."

Holding the teacup gracefully, Shen Zaiye turned his head and looked at the distant mountain scenery outside the window, and said in a hurry: "The Prime Minister, but it's okay."

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

Hearing this title, Shen Zaiye's eyebrows moved, and he smiled and turned his head and said, "Peach Blossom is her boudoir name. Since she is now a wife, it is better for the Prime Minister to call her Jiang."

Li Jin laughed in a vehement: "Jiang is Jiang. Seeing the prime minister's words and deeds, I must have cared about her very much, right?"

"Of course." Shen Zaiye nodded: "After all, he is Shen's wife."

"Since that's the case, Prime Minister Shen will definitely not stand idly by the life and death of Jiang." He stood up and lifted his robe, and Li Jin knelt down to the man on the seat: "Mr. Li has something to ask for."

Suddenly, Shen Zaiye was shocked and raised his eyebrows to look at him: "You can say it well, Prime Minister Li doesn't have to do this."

Xu Yangui frowned and stood beside him, wanting to stop him, but not wanting to stop him, so he was so entangled that his face was squeezed into a ball.

He kept the poisoning of Jiang Taohua without telling him, because it was really not good to say it. But when he heard Li Jin's words today, he felt that if Chen Zaiye had no idea about it, and Jiang Taohua suddenly disappeared five years later, it would be too cruel for him. It would be better to know in advance that he had prepared.

However, if you know, you will be helpless after you know it, will Shen Zaiya follow in despair?

When he was hesitating, Li Jin had already spoken: "Jiang was killed by the Queen of Zhao, Lu, and was poisoned by the body. He could only rely on medicine to maintain his life and was restrained by the queen. If the poison had not been completely solved after five years, Jiang's life would be difficult to protect!"

Her pupils shrank slightly, and she squinted her eyes and asked, "Will the poison get hurt to make her roll?"

"Yes." Li Jin gritted his teeth: "It's like thousands of ants eating the heart."

Chen Zaiye was silent, his eyes were down, his eyes could no longer see clearly, and there was no expression on his face.

Li Jin thought he would be very sad, and he should be nervous even if he was not good. Unexpectedly, he reacted like this, and immediately frowned: "Prime Minister Chen? Are you not worried?"

"How can I see it?" Chen Zaiye asked lightly.

How can I tell this? I can't see any worry at all, okay? Li Jin stood up and frowned and said, "This is about Jiang's life. Could it be that I will still lie? If you don't believe it, you can ask Qingmose. She must know how painful it is for her master to have a monthly poisonous attack! Since you are her husband and care so much about her, how can you not react?"

He chuckled and Chen Zaiye said, "Just just say how to save her."

Originally, Li Jin was planning to ask Chen Zaiye for help. After all, he was the prime minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, with a high position and a powerful position, so he must have more solutions. However, when he saw his attitude, he hesitated: "I said, will the Prime Minister save him?"

"It depends on what method is." Chen Zaiye said: "If it exceeds Chen's ability, Chen will naturally be powerless."

What a cold-blooded person! Li Jin gritted his teeth and hesitated for a while and said: "The antidote is with Lu, but she will not give it easily, especially when Jiang is threatening her now, she may use the antidote to threaten Jiang at any time. I have tried many methods, but it has not been successful."

Jiang Taohua is now a big bargaining chip in Lu's hand, so naturally she will not let go easily. Shen Yanyan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I understand."

That's it? Li Jin didn't call me, "I told you this, I want you to help, not just let you know!"

"Mr. Chen didn't say he wouldn't help." Chen Zaiye frowned: "What are the Prime Minister doing so excited?"

"Because I can't see that you are sincere 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 the poison, but you didn't say anything, and looked like you didn't care about yourself. I couldn't help but wonder if you and Jiang were just having sex?"
